Chhappan bhog — Restaurant in Rajasthan

As an offering to the Lord, people put together a list of 56 food items, referred to as the Chhappan Bhog. The word ‘Chappan’ translated to 56, and ‘Bhog’ means food. Wondering why there are specifically 56 items? The story goes that to protect his village and the people from the wrath of The God of Rain (Lord Indra), Krishna ji had lifted the Govardhan Parvat and placed it at the tip of his little finger, under which everyone had taken refuge. He stood still for seven whole days continuously, until Lord Indra realised his mistake. Lord Krishna would usually eat eight food items every day, but he didn’t consume any food during these seven days. So at the end of the seventh day, everyone made Krishna ji a total of 56 dishes (eight multiplied by seven), out of gratitude.

Terrible Service, Unacceptable Behavior

We were extremely disappointed with our recent dining experience. The staff, particularly the waiter, was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Despite it being only 9 PM, we were pressured to order immediately as the restaurant was supposedly closing. When we politely requested a few minutes to review the menu, we were met with further impatience and told the kitchen was closing. The waiter's harsh tone and insistence on rushed orders made the entire experience unpleasant. We were forced to cancel our order and leave due to the unacceptable behavior. Our family's dining experience was completely ruined by the incredibly rude and disrespectful behavior of the staff, particularly the waiter. The waiter's angry demeanor, as if we were receiving a favor, was utterly unacceptable. The staff's overall attitude left us feeling insulted and unwelcome. We strongly advise others to avoid this...

Ambience - Simple. Very family friendly. The place is located on near saheliyon ki bari and usually always on waiting, albeit not more than 5-10 mins. The decor is simple with displays and well lit and air conditioned.

Service - When you are serving Thali, different people want different dishes at the same time. The waiters job is very smartly done. They are very friendly and keeps following up with you to ensure you don't go hungry.

Food - There are different Thali Menu everyday and always exotic. The main course usually consists of 2 dals, 2 sabjis, 2 kadhis, papad / friams, pickles and 2 starters. The taste was great and had a good time. They also serve lassi to help you digest so much food - great!!

Value for Money: Rs 400 for a Thali is a STEAL! Quality was brilliant and total paisa vasool for Thali concept.

I strongly recommend this place if you're a vegetarian and is looking for a celebration...
