Rasoi Ghar Restaurant — Restaurant in Dubai

A taste of homemade Indian food with a dynamic menu every single day.

Lined up among the famous lane of restaurants in the heart of Bur Dubai/Karama area is Rasoi Ghar. The restaurant is beautifully designed and has colorful Indian arts displayed at the entrance. It’s spacious and gives a customer the liberty to choose their preferred seating. One end is lined with tables and chairs and the other end gives the opportunity to sit like the locals in North India do, albeit on an elevated pillow on the ground.

They have a unique three course thali which means you have starters, main course and desserts with refills just around the corner. Their top notch service is commendable with staff constantly attending to your needs. The servings are always piping hot. They also bring out a basin to wash your hands in at the end of the main course to spoil you with as they don’t want to disturb you from the food coma.

We were served with some refreshing Nimbu Sherbat to beat the heat, which was not too sour and was perfect. The chilled Masala Chaas (Buttermilk) kept coming till we were served with our thalis.

Dahi Baray: A classic dumpling made from dal and topped with masalas, lots of curd and cilantro but 3 times the usual size made this dish a winner for us and we wished we could eat more.

Dabeli Dhokla: A unique dish where a famous Mumbai street food, Dabeli, has a special masala made out of peanuts, which is used as a filling between two staple Gujarati slices of Dhokla. We loved the concept and found this quite delicious.

Green Peas Ghugra: Somewhat on the lines of a samosa, but bite-sized and tasty with the spicy chutney, this we found to be average concept wise but delicious no doubt and a must try.

Malai Sheekh Kebab: We were quite skeptical to try this bite-sized slice of barbecued cottage cheese but it was a revelation. So very soft yet a smoky flavor, we just loved it but wish the serving would have been a bit bigger.

Mix Veg Tawa Bhaji: As the name suggests, cooked on a flat skillet, the vegetables were perfectly cooked and went well with the breads.

Methi Malai Mutter Paneer: For all the malai fans, this is a treat. Methi and peas, a super hit combo with their flavors complimenting each other. The paneer tasted good as it had absorbed the spices of the creamy gravy very nicely.

Aloo Rasawala: The star dish and our favorite, this just melted in our mouth. Going very well with the garlic naan, the potatoes were done well and tasted great.

Marwadi Dal: For the spice lovers, this was perfectly seasoned. It can be paired with rice, poori or as have it as is and still be so good.

Gujarati Dal: A similar sweet version of the dal made often in Gujarat, all the folks missing this food will be reminded of home.

Marwadi Kadhi: The traditional Kadhi of North India but a less spicy version, this we found bland after tasting the spicy dal but taste wise was perfect had we tried this first.

Khichdi: Made traditionally with split green gram dal and rice occasionally. It is a healthy option to have as a side or a meal itself. They used ghee instead of oil to make it healthier.

Curd Rice: As small kids, we did enjoy curd rice and we did this time too. It wasn’t sour and slid right down our throats.

Veg Dum Pulao: A mixed vegetable rice cooked to perfection and getting the spices right, this was our clear favorite.

Malpua with Rabdi: Hands down the best dessert and the perfect end to our meal, this in itself was quite filling. Ghee infused small pancake with malai and dry fruits as a topping, this will transport you back to India.

Mango Shrikhand: An off-menu item for the day and if you are a fan of pudding and mangoes this one is for you. A bit sour and sweet at the same time, we found this to be refreshing and cooling to our palate.

We had a lot of servers attending to us but bonus points will be the Manager of Rasoi Ghar as well as representative of Socialism agency, Mr. Aravind attending to us personally.

For the quality, quantity and being unlimited thali, the pricing...

So finally i went for lunch today with my family. There were 10 tables waiting when we entered. After the lonnng wait...we got to our table. So 1st we got the welcome drink tht was nimbu pani than starters plate which was aloo bonda, chaat and dhokla amazinnn taste. Than arrived the grand thali..which had paneer, aloo , mattar, parvar, kadi, gujrati dal, rajasthani dal, raita, malpua, rasmalai, roti and puri. Everything was extremely tasty. The staff were expentionaly friendly. Must try!! A Gujarati Thali with Royal Ambiance is what describe Rasoi Ghar, Good place with authentic Gujarati Ambience and food Just seeing varieties only you will feel half tummy full and the way they serve you is amazing. A very perfect place for a business treat as well as a family get-together or a small party. If you want to taste Gujarati cuisine with Gujarati attitude of serving guest than this the place you must visit. I bet your guest will not forget treat you will give them

They have a fixed day menu and it changes every day. We were served with a plethora of dishes starting from Starters like Dhokla, and hard core Gujarati food like Undhiyo! The whole thali was a delight and each dish tasted so good. There are options of Breads as well, They serve Poori, Roti etc. Prompt service, efficient staff. I always enjoyed dinning here Ambience is very good with some really nice music playing in the background . Staff very courteous , friendly and ever willing to help with a smile. Service is excellent .

Main course had all the requisites of a typical Gujarati thali . We ended our meal with the fruit shreekhand and badam halwa. Fruit shreekhand was the best . It's a must visit if your craving for a good thali style lunch / dinner. Experience the authentic taste of traditional vegetarian cuisine from – Kathiyawad, Rajasthan and Gujarat.A home away from home where you get to experience the ambiance,service and the food. Located at Al Karama opposite Centrepoint,Burjuman is just the place for food lovers with a ‘desi’ style where you experience the ever unique concept of thali which changes on every particular day…. ... asoi Ghar, without doubt, is currently the best Thali place in Dubai. The food is brilliant, ambience is just right, and if you think you’re someone who can eat to absolutely no limit, this is THE place than can make you feel full.

Special mention for the malpuas – they are to DIE FOR!!

I’ve been to Rasoi Ghar a couple of times, and if you do plan to go for a Friday Lunch, make sure to get there early because the waiting time can be killing given the amount of people who are catered by this place on the weekends.

Fantastic Service and very well priced - would highly recommend to give them a shot! Ambience is cool and staff is super helpful right from the sweet hostess at the front to the servers. We went for diwali dinner and the thali on offer was nice. Typical heavy festive Indian veg food. Malpuas were the highlight. Surprised there was no papad though :) I absolutely loved this place. The staff is very nice and welcoming. They will make u eat like we are guests in their house. Really nice ambience. The food is mind-blowing. Their thali is amaZing so many choices and everything is delicious. It becomes difficult to choose what to eat more or what u liked more. It's a complete value for money. 45 for so much food and the hospitality is amazing. Thank you so much to the the staff their for making it such a nice experience. So ... since my friend's mother was in town, we had to go to a pure vegetarian restaurant. And of course, thalis are a veggie's hot favorites. What I have always experienced in restaurants that serve only thalis is that all or most of their vegetables taste all the same with maybe some masala different in all ... so the food wasn't what impressed me, their service did ... and believe me ... if I ever go back to rasoi ghar it is only going to be because of their service .. this of course also means that their food isn't bad ... but it isn't...

Overall a 4.8* I can vouch for the fact that this is one of the finest Thali places in UAE. Rasoi Ghar(Meaning Kitchen) is the place where the culinary delights in any Indian Household comes out from!

Rasoi Ghar, situated at the most prominent and most inviting areas at the cross borders of Bur Dubai- Karama Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed road is a gargantuas eatery which specialises in Rajasthani cum Gujarati thali.

Everything from the customary hand wash in the beginning to the wet wipe towels at closure is Royal style. Staff is very good, fast and super efficient.

Interiors are vibrant with elements and accoutrements of Rural and Royal Rajasthan/ Gujarat are displayed in splendour. You can opt for a sit down meal on floor cushions or for a table chair arrangement.

I have been to this place twice one on a tadke pe tadka Thursday and the other on a man bhara Monday. They have a different buffet menu each day which is a really good concept. On the second visit I had Mr Tiku Talsania, Bollywood actor for company!!

The starters are quite good; most of the days they dish out soft dhoklas/ dhoklis, cocktail samosas or veggie kebabs, corn cheese balls and the likes; all fresh, warm and enticing. They also give a quarter plate of chaat or other savoury curry. It’s all you can eat so if you want a refill they’ll very happily provide.

Then come the mains:- a Paneer dish ( this was just awesome both days), a potato based curry(very appealing) a veggie dish, a host of dals( sweet and savour), and a kadhi. Breads are just amazing ranging from phulkas, theplas to the delicious cocktail puris.

They also offer a Aam Ras with a Halwa and jalebi which are alluring in looks and taste. I particularly like the dates Halwa (must try). It’s also recommended to dip the puri in Aam Ras and tuck in; it’s really wow!

They also dish out four different types of rice to include a pulao, curd rice, khichdi and plain white. Super stuff:- try with Dal.

Folks, it’s an stunning place to have a sumptuous meal with a wide variety of choices and flavours with lightning fast service.

Pssst:- If you don’t like waiting try a weekday lunch or go around 12 afternoon or early evening.

Special thanx to Arvind the Manager, Satish the head steward...
