rajputana

i decided to visit this place on a saturday night dinner so i called and booked a table for me. the manager was friendly and got a seat for me.. the restaurant was not that crowded. i decided to go for the buffet instead of a la carte. they served the welcome drink which was good and starter's were very less they serve chicken,mutton,and fish. first they serve a very small quantity and if you want to more you have to wait for atleast 5-8 minutes to get more. the main course will be also served at your plate they serve chicken biryani which was not that hot and the taste was really bad.. the roti's served was ok with chicken and mutton gravy's the desert was really good especially the phirni and kulfi. overall the food was not worth for the money... the buffet cost's 750 + taxes and the nett price will be rs.925

firstly,the place is located at a very accessible location on the 100 feet road in koyembedu. the restaurant is on the terrace 8 floor high.built in a royal manner as the name suggests, it gives a soothing experience to fine dine at such a place.
coming to the food, they serve you with their complimentary drink and some papad while you lusciously enjoy the breeze on a fine evening.
though a limited menu for the vegetarians, whatever they have to offer is worth trying and with such fine flavors.
must try: achari paneer tikka,seekh kabab,chat items
after a hearty meal,we were served three varieties of desserts as compliments of the kitchen which were mind-blowing.
we even got a discount on our bill .
such place with less crowd and amazing food is what makes this restaurant so appealing and makes us visit again.

so it was my wife's bday and wanted to take her out to a romantic place to celebrate the day. searched for a few rooftop restaurants and found rajputana on the top of the list. when we reached the place, it was already filled with people. apparently there was a private party going on and they were almost full. i guess there was some confusion when i had reserved seats, but they were gracious enough to make adjustments and get us to our table.
we started off with a spiced mushroom cappuchino. it didn't look very appealing and frankly it looked more like a payasam rather than a soup. but we were actually gobsmacked after our first sip. it was light and soothing with a very smooth mushroom taste. it's probably one of the best soups i have ever had and the main highlight of the evening.
as starters we ordered the amritsari machchali and the murgh tikka chandhini chowkwala. the fish was a batter fried fish. we thought it was maybe fried for too long and was lacking the flavour it deserved. the chicken on the other hand was superb. it was succulent and flavoursome.
for our mains, we ordered the lahori murgh biriyani. it was a huge portion with sufficient chicken pieces. the rice was surprisingly full of flavour and even though the biriyani was a bit dry, the entire dish was pretty good.

apart from the food, the place has a really great ambience. the view from the top is superb and they're props around the place were all visually very appealing.
i'm definitely looking forward to the next time i visit the joint.

it's a decent roof top restaurant. good view but unfortunately not great food. we were disappointed. food taste was not up to the mark. service was too slow. while the gold benefits were well taken care of.

ambience - 4
taste - 2
service -2
value for money - 2
quantity - 3

small place but good ambience. food taste was excellent especially biriyani and chicken.

bad smell ambience,worst buffet no proper menu for buffet,worst experience

good food and ambience
went with family
worth trying.

even as a south indian, there are times i just crave to have a perfectly cooked butter naan and a red spicy chicken / mutton gravy with a brilliantly roasted or grilled starter.

rajputana was one with many expectations but they didn't meet them all. (you'll see a lot of "perfectly cooked" in this one.)

multani tikkey was brilliant, the taste was just, something i have never tried before. the combination of cheese, paneer and the flavours that the multani ingredients brought are unmatched. the tikki itself just melts in your mouth bursting with flavours and making you crave for more.

reshmi paneer was your typical paneer tikka. it was perfectly cooked, nothing new in taste, mildly spicy and overall a great dish done right.

murgh angar bedgi was again a typical chicken tikka, perfectly cooked, the chicken slices itself were very small for the price and not satisfying, but the taste was perfectly thorough.

mutton rogan josh, we had this with butter naan and rumali roti. naan and roti were perfectly cooked, no complaints there and nothing unique either. mutton rogan josh was perfectly cooked the way it is meant to be.  nothing distinct. the spice was perfect, the flavours were just right. the mutton was cooked well too.

shikanji, disaster. nope. never. first off it was served warmer than room temperature. there as no semi-frozen liquid the way it's meant to be. and second off, when we attempted to drink it anyway hoping the taste would be great, it was the worst. it tasted like tonic. i ordered this with so much expectation as it's one of my favorite drinks. and this was the last time i ordered shikanji.

overall, as i said, a lot of "perfectly cooked". the restaurant has great ambiance, rooftop overlooking the center of chennai's transport and market. koyambedu. however, the taste of food is just right, nothing mind blowing and nothing too unique in terms of presentation either. i've had better north indian. 

oh yes, multani tikkey, just go for it. it's the only thing i remember from that night.

good rooftop place in chennai... view is good, if not great... more of a family oriented... bigger group the better...!! all in all, a nice place to sip beer and look the city down, flowing...!!

went for dinner to rajputana .... i would rate the food at 4 starts... but the ambience left a lot to be desired.... the staff couldn't handle the crowd and one group got tooo loud and the staff couldn't handle the situation well.... needs a lot of improvement. dissatisfied with the whole thing.

nice place for family and friends. with a roof top view its amazing to be with your loved ones. staff is super efficient and food is also good. i would definitely recommend it to one and all.

beautiful place ,delicious food ,decent crowd and most importantly great ambience
really made our day
thank you rajputana 👍👍
thank you zomato

friendly and courteous staff, great buffet, warm service. lovely place. have been here 4 times and each time it is different menu with variety and great finger licking good taste.

i have had buffet in over 25 restaurants in chennai and this is the worst ever experience of all. called the manager twice at noon for booking the table and he called back after 15 minutes. i clearly asked him how many starters and main course dishes and the reply he gave was 7 veg dishes and 4 non veg dishes, 2 breads, 2 rices and 3 desserts which will amount to 1100. i said okay and during the buffet they served only 3 veg and 2 non veg starters. when asked them about the starters they were like 7 veg dishes include 3 starters and 3 gravy for the bread and a veg pulav and 4 non veg dish refers 2 starters 1 gravy for bread and mutton buriyani. i was like wtf who would spend 1200 for such a buffet. he was like which restaurant would give 7 veg and 4 non veg starters in chennai? almost all the bbq/buffet restaurants serve over 40 items in total with atleast 12 starters. there was argument going on for like 5 minutes. the manager had call recorder in his mobile and when we heard to it my question was how many starters and how many main course items. the reply he gave was 7 veg dishes 4 non veg dishes 2 breads and 2 rice items. (anyone woukd have thought this as 7 veg starters 4 non veg starters, the breads and rice were main course). he was telling to me like i must have again asked him how many starters do the 7 veg dishes include. and then after some argument he agreed to give an additional veg and non veg starter to which we said we don't need it and we will pay the whole money and i will put the matter in the review. he said go ahead and post what you want. really really disappointed with the response the manager gave. the only positive thing was that the staff were all friendly. among the starters only paneer and chicken grill were good. fish 65 was the worst and it was smelly (we think it was very old one taken from refrigerator). two among the three desserts were good. main course too was just okay. overall a worst worst worstest experience ever. whenever we used to cross this hotel, my father always says that this hotel will be very good since he has had food in some other branch (which tempted me to give it a try). he was shocked upon hearing my feedback. don't ever go for this restaurant. there were only 4 other people apart from us that too on a sunday.

food is not good.. waste of money ... ambience is good.. not even single dish taste was not good.. very bad experience ... pls avoid going there.. food lovers it won’t suite...
