Rajwadi Thali - Sunnyvale

I had my first meal indoors at a restaurant in what feels like forever. The menu was more limited than usual, likely due to reduced seating and a focus on takeout because of ongoing COVID restrictions. We had to inform the staff that we are vegan, as there were no specific vegan options on their reduced menu; it appeared to feature the usual vegan items. However, the staff were more than happy to offer us a fantastic vegan thali, which was wonderfully prepared! My girlfriend found it a bit too spicy, but if you're sensitive to heat, just let them know. Personally, I thought it was the perfect level of spice!

The all-you-can-eat meal includes 3 to 5 curries, rice, roti/puri bread, and soup. For non-vegans, there are a few extra curry options, along with yogurt and dessert. However, I found the curries to be quite oily, the puri bread to be tough, and the selection for vegans was limited. Additionally, the price of $25 per person (including tax and tip) seems high considering the quality and the vegan options available.

We enjoyed the all-you-can-eat option on Friday night, and it seemed like everyone else did too. Out of the eight dishes we tried, four were vegan. The bread and rice were also vegan, but unfortunately, the desserts were not. We paid $20 per person, which I found a bit pricey. However, the food was delicious, especially if you enjoy spicy flavors. The service was excellent.

This was the first time I had an authentic Indian thali in US. The food was delicious and was not too oily or spicy. The servers made sure we had what we wanted.

Mostly Indian people eating there which was a great sign from the start. We've had a lot of Indian food before and all the adults in our part have been to India. This place is definitely true to how Thali is made and served. Having waiters come around refilling is exactly how I had it in Bangalore. They told me that two dishes weren't vegan so I ate a lot of everything else. Amazing.
