Foji Raj Dhaba — Restaurant in Rajasthan

So before writing the review I would like to share a small incident and then dear reader you may decide on your own how to rate this place and the owner and Staff. I had to board a train from Jaipur to Alwar, as I was having my exam over there. Before booking this Fauji Raj Hotel, I read a lot of reviews and they all were extremely positive (I doubted all of them). So here the main story starts, I was having the booking in the hotel for two days i.e. from 15th till 17th. I had to board the train from Jaipur which was at 3:25 p.m. on 15th only and so I was having late checking in the hotel. So for this late check in thing I thought to inform the hotel and for that I called the hotel. The person who received my call in the hotel told me that there's a problem with booking and room won't be available for me on 16-17th i.e. I'll be getting the room only for one day. Hearing this I got tensed and honestly was planning to drop my journey, but still I contacted GoIbibo (as I booked this hotel using their website), and told them everything. GoIbibo's representative assured me that I'll be helped by them and they told me that I'll be getting the solution in next 15 mins. They (GoIbibo) contacted the hotel's owner. After 15 mins. GoIbibo's representative provided me the contact number of the hotel's owner (namely Mr. Akash) and asked me to call him and confirm the booking status once again. I with quite sad mood and super nervous contacted Mr. Akash and told him about my exam, listening about my exam Mr. Akash replied me," Sir, aap tension na lo, aap aa jao, agr Kuch arrange nhi ho paya then aap mere Ghar pr stay Kar Lena". Listening to these words I boarded the train and reached hotel. After reaching hotel I was quite disappointed overthinking about how the hotel gonna be. Mr. Akash's brother received me and gave me the room with a complimentary water bottle and cup of coffee. I reached the room and was still disappointed, even though the room was far more better then my expectations and honestly was like a 3 star hotel room and honestly deserved to be more costly according to me. I was still a bit disappointed thinking how the food gonna be. Suddenly Mr. Akash bumped into my room with the famous sweet of Alwar, "Kalakand" in his hands and gave me as night dessert. After talking to him I felt super relaxed and became normal and went for dinner. The food was super tasty and affordable, I really loved the food. Next morning i.e. on 16th I was having my exam and for that I requested Mr. Akash for transport and he arranged a Auto but before arranging that Auto he said to me," Koi na sir agar nhi ho paya auto then Mai Hon na, Mai le krr jaonga aapko". The auto arrived, I went to my center and came back and had a super wonderful evening with Mr. Akash, his brother Mr. Bikash and a friend named Mr. Kunal Gupta( who was also a traveller like me). We guys had a long evening with so much talks and the dinner for 16th was free of cost for me and Mr Kunal from the hotel. Tomorrow i.e. on 17th I'll be leaving Alwar in the morning at 6-6:30 a.m. and for that Mr. Akash and his Introvert Brother arranged my breakfast. Would like to write some key points about this super wonderful hotel/Home : This is not a commercial place to suck travellers money, this place is a home in the name of hotel. The hotel's owner ," Fauji Uncle, and all three of his sons" are true gem (although I couldn't meet his eldest son as he was out on tour) of Alwar city and just because of people like his family that city Alwar became a home away from home for me. This is a family hotel, as Fauji Uncle and his Sons do no allow smoking and drinking in the hotel. Fauji Uncle and his sons are hidden secret superstars, and you will only get to know this after spending time with them. This offers a private movie theatre which is super cheap. Also having a friend like Mr. Kunal and the owner is just too good. Recommended this place 100%. I really wants to write a lot about the owner and this place but due to words restrictions I am not able...
