It was quiet a different experience. The food isn't exceptional but not bad as well. It's decent food. To begin with we ordered Papads comes with chutneys Then in starter we ordered : 1. Tohfa-E-Zameen : 4/5 This was different and tasty but too oily. Coming to mains : 1. Maharani Thali - 4.5/5 Pretty much covers the whole menu in this Thali, it was nice batti could have been better but apart from that all good. 2. Palak Panner - 4/5 It was nice flavour some curry. Dessert : 1. Malpua With Rabri - 2/5 The main idea of malpua is it need to be hot and crispy on the corners but we were served a piping cold malpua. Rabri with it was not hot either. Overall : a decent and different experience

Great food and hospitality by Mr Aliston and Team, kudos to the chef. Everything made from scratch. We really enjoyed our meal, deserts and drinks One of the few restaurants in the UK which tasted like authentic Indian food

Firstly, I don't know where to start. I found out about Choki Dhani while I was surfing for grill and curry places that have 'Halal' options as I was just cluelessly looking around google maps since my friends mostly work near Victoria and Embankment so we can socialise and eat after-work dinner near our workplaces. Somehow this cool hidden gem popped up. I told myself I will book this place someday - this was around Nov 2022. Fast forward to April 2023, I booked Chokhi around 2 weeks before my Dad's birthday. Came here for my Dads Birthday Dinner. Being an East Londoner, you're probably would be crazy to traverse to Nine Elms and that too for an Indian restaurant! I know right? It's insane! Mind you, this is not that kind of a typical Indian restaurant you'd be exploring often in Southall, Green Street or Bricklane or neither like those high end ones in Mayfair, Piccadilly or Soho. This my friend is a whole new level! An absolute gamechanger! Imagine you're walking into a Rajasthani palace or a famous monument around that part of Indian region, that's the impression I got when I walked in Chokhi. Before you even step afoot inside, you'll first notice the giant Indian elephant statue! Yes you read that right (look at the picture below), a colossal Indian elephant statue made of expensive teak or mahogany wood god knows what it was sculptured of, but sure it looked unique. Nice way to grab a customer's attention! Love it. If you are a Non-Desi/Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi person reading this, you're probably scratching your head thinking, 'Okay, so what does Chokhi Dhani means?' Chokhi Dhani means a special village where you get a feel of a traditional Rajasthani village. From mud houses, animal rides, traditional folk dancers performing on Rajasthani music and authentic Rajasthani cuisine. Chokhi Dhani is an ideal place to enjoy the culture and heritage. Now to the important bits, so for my dad's birthday we got the Rajasthani Maharaja Thali - totally scrumptious (with authentic Rajasthani dishes names where I've never heard of), Cheesy Chicken Sheekh Kebabs, Lamb Curry (Laal Maas - Rajasthani name) accompanied with amazing drinks. Ordered the lassi, lal qila and berry berry nice. Their masala chai was amazing too after the dinner. Finally when we called the uber and we were about to exit the premises, the staff members brought a mini brownie sliced cake bites with a candle lit for my birthday dad! I was totally impressed by their gesture. Thank you so much Chokhi Dhani team. Will visit you again with my friends! Looking forward to meet you soon. Hope in the future we can flourish this business by franchising other parts of London/UK.
