TASTE IT HERE

In Jaipur, visit Chokhi Dhani (chokhidhani.com) and in

Ahmedabad, Rajwadu (rajwadu. com) for Rajasthani and Gujarati thalis, respectively. If you’re in Mumbai, check out Shree Thaker

Bhojanalay (facebook.com/ ShreeThaker1945) for its Gujarati thali. In the summer months, the restaurant adds aam ras (Alphonso mango pulp) as part of the thali. For a Maharashtrian experience, try the nonvegetarian thali at Sadichha (B-5, Gandhi Nagar, Bandra East) and the vegetarian variant at Aaswad (61, Sadanand, Dadar West) in Mumbai.
