Rajbhog Sweets

Food quality and taste was awesome and we had a very pleasant time there as there staff was good and helpful too

I had the worst papri chaat of my life at Rajbhog. Visited the place with high expectations after reading the reviews. The staff was helpful but the quality of food can’t be compensated be that. There was so less yogurt which is actually the most important part of the dish. On being asked for a spicy chaat, the lady at the counter served me what I believe was just red chilli powder on an absurd mixture of yogurt and papri. There was no tanginess in the dish. I for one will never visit the place again.

Very good food very nice place I went many time with my friends. Good place specially the people they are pure vegetarian. bcoz they keep only vegetarian food. I only go this place bcoz Ian pure vegetarian.

I have loved Rajbhog from the day I moved in right around the corner, and I go in embarrassingly often. What’s so great about Rajbhog: 1) The friendly, hardworking staff, who give my son his favorite sweet when he comes in. 2) Vegetarian dishes — spicy, fresh, and healthy. I get so much energy from this food, unlike at other Indian restaurants. 3) Chai. Lassi. Samosa. Chaat. Sabudana. 4) Sweets — not too sticky sweet. 5) Wifi and welcoming attitude if i need a place to work. 6) Learning about & experiencing Indian homecooking. I bring all my friends & family to Rajbhog to show the pride of Jackson Heights. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Missing khandvi brings me here. Also got pau bhaji. Both very good.
Just wished there were two people behind the counter. Veenaben works hard but I see that she could use some help.
Still the only place in this area for Gujarati style food.
Try it but be prepared to wait. Go say «jai Shri krsna» to Veenaben and tell her YUVARAAJ recommended special pau bhaji with extra garlic

Their chai is soooo good! As is their mango kulfi. I’m not a huge fan on Indian sweets, but they have a nice selection and are very helpful.

If you like Indian snacks, you’ll probably like it here. I was in the area and stopped in a for a chai and a quick bite. Tried the dhokla and samosa’s. It’s what you expect if you like Indian snacks. I’m not big on it so I didn’t think it stood out or was bad. The chai was good and reasonably priced.

Rajbhogs in Jackson Heights is a nice spot to come in for a quick bite to eat.
Their Chaats are super delicious! Samosa, Paapdi, Dahi, etc. They also have a lunch platter where you can choose from 2 – 4 veggie dishes (depending on the platter size you order). End your meal with a sweet and cold tasty Kulfi! It’s ice cream on a stick and comes in different flavors!

This place has great sweets, very cheap food, and great samosa chat. Food is light in oil and tasty and appetizing. By far the best place to eat in Jackson Heights if you’re looking for vegetarian cuisine.

Rajbhog is my favorite place for a cheap lunch in the area. They have a great vegan and vegetarian selection (I’m vegan) and their food isn’t too greasy or overcooked like some of the other inexpensive prepared food restaurants.
I find I can share their large platter which comes with three selections, bread, rice, an appetizer and a sweet and it’s an amazing 5-​course lunch for 2 for under $ 10 (total!) which seems incredible and I like that I get to try lots of things but not end up overstuffed at the end and still get a great deal.
They are also very nice there and sometimes even don’t seem to charge for extra items which seems crazy since an under $ 10 lunch for two is already such a deal. I’ve corrected them when they were going to undercharge me since I don’t want them to go out of business! It’s refreshing considering I’ve been to a few places on the block that seem to try to charge extra and hope I don’t notice, or maybe they just expect haggling when I don’t.
There are a few places like this in the area, prepared-​food restaurants that are also sweets shops, and I’ve tried most of them. Rajbhog doesn’t have the biggest sweets selection but their prepared foods are the best combination of freshness and value I have found. For example I went to Raja next door where the food seemed substantially greasier and not very fresh even for lunch at noon.
I wish all these prepared-​food places would use less disposable plates/​bowls especially styrofoam. I’m sure it would cost a bit more but I think it’d be worth it and take the dining experience up a notch.

Great place for light Indian street food. Yummy chaat and Indian sweets. I love the veg sandwich.

Great Indian sweets, make of real milk and sugar. When I am on my period, I always go get some sweets. Price is good and food is real

You can get chaats from a lot of places in this neighborhood but in our experience Rajbhog’s is the best. The snacks and sweets are definitely worth checking out!

The food is very salty, but do have reasonable prices. The staff are rude and don’t seem like they want to be at work.
My in laws love this place cause it fits their budget. But we avoid this place like a plague due to it’s high salt content on the food… therefore cheap prices and cheap labor and cheap quality in food.
Don’t expect much from this place at all. It’s a hole in the wall, usually they’re supposed to be good, but that’s not the case here at all.

Yum!!! This is a great place for chaat (Indian street food)
Both the Pav bhaji and the papdi chaat were superb. The dhai vada was ok.
Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu items!

We come here every week for tea and snacks on the weekend. So many great, authentic snacks and really perfect chai.
All of the vegetable dishes are so good, too. We love their karela, patras, other sabjis. They also have kulfi and shrikhand that we like to bring home!
Highly recommended :)

Jelabi was super hard.
Never would suggest anyone to buy Sweet’s in this place at NY.

I only order two things when I go there and IRS the somosas chaat and kachuri chaat. I prefer the kachuri because it’s cold. It has a nice mix of sweet, tangy and spicy. The portions are smaller than they were back in the day.

Friend group with competing food restrictions will love Rajbhog, the vegan, Jain and Kosher friendly spot in Jackson Heights. The name advertises sweets, but it’s the savory dishes that steal the show here.
Thalis (non-​refillable) are available for around $ 5, which include two veg main courses and either a roti and rice. I went for the roti (reheated in a microwave before serving, which tends to make the bread a bit too damp) and eggplant and bean dishes. Everything comes in Earth-​unfriendly styrofoam dishes, arriving in a bit of a pell-​mell fashion. The menu shifts around daily, so try to stop in more than once.
If you don’t live in the neighborhood, this can be a long way to trouble for pretty simple dishes, but the friendly staff and very friendly prices make it a nice general Indian option.

Growing up in Queens meant our elementary school potlucks included: Hong Kong-​style fried rice, Irish soda bread, Korean songpyeon, Chinese dumplings, Indian samosas, matzoh (that one came from our teacher)… These potlucks were my introduction to Indian desserts, and taught me thusly: They’re TERRIBLE! Confusing spongey textures, sickening sweetness, syrup gushing everywhere — blaugh.
That said, Rajbhog is a great place to start if you want to learn to appreciate Indian desserts from a not-​3^rd-​grade palate. They’re actually enjoyable here, and have forced me to ease up on this revulsion to Indian sweets in general. Most are kept in a cold display case, which helps, and sold at $ 8/​lb. Individual pieces are $ 1 each. They have a good variety of basics without being overwhelming:
Gulab jamun — fried balls of milk solids soaked in syrup. Better than most I’ve had. These are the easiest to enjoy if you’re not used to Indian desserts, since they’re like syrupy doughnuts.
Burfi — multicolored milk solids squares. The selection here is limited, but the mango burfi was good. The pistachio and regular were too firm. Maharaja Sweets’ (
) is better, with smoother, fudgier texture.
Cham cham — pink or white «sponges» soaked in syrup. Almost entirely flavorless beyond the syrup, with a texture like minced Styrofoam. Somehow I can see the appeal though. Try it if you want to eat something that’s totally unlike any other dessert ever.
Rajbhog is smaller and vaguely cleaner, but otherwise similar to Raja Sweets (
) next door. Both sell a range of Indian desserts as well as a standard roster of prepared foods: samosas, chaat, curries, dosas. The dosas here are as impressive as any, and significantly better than what you might get at Jackson Diner (
) down the block. The chaats and samosas are decent. Most importantly, get a cup of chai while you’re at it — theirs is quite nicely spiced, and beats the hell out of Raja and Maharaja Sweets’ chai, both of whose are too milky and mild.
