Rajinder Da Dhaba is one of Delhi’s most iconic spots for hearty North Indian food, known for its bold flavors and no-frills charm. Their menu is extensive and satisfying—popular dishes include butter chicken, mutton curry, chicken tikka, seekh kebabs, and rich dal makhani. The experience gets better with their classic side dishes like butter naan, rumali roti, onion salad, green chutney, and refreshing lassi or soft drinks. The seating style is quite unique and casual. You can either stand around high tables or sit on low arrangements, sometimes even on the floor, giving it a very raw and authentic dhaba vibe. It’s more about food than comfort, and that’s part of its identity. Parking space is available in good quantity, but during peak hours, especially evenings, finding a spot can become challenging due to heavy crowd. In terms of cleanliness, there is room for improvement. Often, people tend to leave leftovers on the floor or around tables, and a more organized system for disposing used utensils would enhance the overall experience. Dedicated bins or collection counters could make a big difference. Overall, Rajinder Da Dhaba delivers strongly on taste and experience. It’s a must-visit for food lovers who enjoy authentic, street-style dining with a lively atmosphere.

During my recent stay in Delhi, I visited Rajender Da Dhaba and it was an amazing experience! The food here is truly authentic and full of flavor. The pricing and quantity are both very reasonable, which makes it even better. I tried chicken malai tikka, chicken tikka, and tandoori chicken with rumali roti — everything tasted absolutely delicious! 😍 One interesting thing is that at the back side, there are standing tables where you can eat, but if you choose to dine inside the restaurant, the prices are almost double. parking space is there They offer a wide variety of dishes from starters to desserts. Definitely a must-visit place if you are in Delhi!

An iconic Delhi spot with a reputation that’s as mixed as it is famous .. Rajinder Da Dhaba. And here’s one more take on it. The entire market feels taken over by their boards... multiple counters and constant rush. You can grab a quick bite standing (there’s even a standing AC section), or go for a proper seating area with a slightly different menu and pricing. Honestly, the price difference makes sense.. you’re paying for comfort. Now coming to the food: 🔥 Chicken Satay ... absolutely mind-blowing. Super juicy with that rich, peanuty flavour. Easily the highlight. 🔥 Galouti Kebabs ... HUGE! and packed with flavour. Definitely among the best in Delhi. But… 🍛 Chicken Curry .. this one didn’t live up to expectations. Pretty average, nothing memorable. Go here for snacks....totally worth it. Skip the main course (or keep expectations low).

One of the most famous dhabas in Delhi. Had a good dine in with family, tried mainly non veg dishes. All in all every items were good in taste, the quantity is overwhelming for a person and needs to be shared for perfect distribution. We had to parcel many items back to our home, the service is good as well. Pay via district to get small discounts on the overall bill. It was a good visit.

On short spin ride we all decided to take a night spin to Sarojne Rajinder Dhaba from Noida as lot of youtubers and people updated that it's the best place for non veg ,so we decided to go there it took almost 45 mins to reach there,too crowded on reaching we couldn't find place for parking our bikes ..it has three big shops no proper sitting arrangements,people were standing. Even sitting on floors and eating but within 10 mins we got table and we ordered, 5 plate chicken,3 plates mutton as we were 8 of us..after 2to 3 reminders the service was done ..on going through food we found neither chicken not mutton was upto the mark .too spice and the taste was not even better than a street vendor...nothing at all was special and service was too poor, I couldn't understand why youtuber or people hyep so much,nothing was special. And atmosphere the worst,too unhygienic condition and taste nothing special...you get better taste in a clean condition...mutton was as it was 2 to three days back prepration. A person who is found if non veg like me can easily say mutton has smell and was not fresh ...I high disliked the food and place and then we had sweet dish from adjoining Bangali sweets. Gulab jamun, and gajjar ka halwa and dry fruit halwa all was too good but too costly..one can try. But for Rajinder Dhaba i advice people to not to go there for non veg you'll find many better place for non veg with better taste and cleaness.and price is too highy. We paid 5200/-for food and 320/- for 8 bike parking makeing fool of the people why parking charges ...not at all recommended..to bad experience..👎
