Rajdhani Indian Restaurant

These guys are some of the friendliest and hospitable hosts. They are always considerate of my two sons when I bring them in and that is just the service. The food is probably one of the best Indian I have had in the city. The Chicken Masala is cooked just right and juicy and their flavors are just outstanding. Their portions are generous and I never had a bad experience there. I have never been there when it was busy but have seen some of them have a catered party next door.

This spot is also very close to where I work and I was in the mood for some spicy flavorful Indian food. I figured I would give this spot a try. When I ordered I specified that I wanted the goat vindaloo Indian spicy not American spicy as I love spicy food. I was excited for this. I arrive at the restaurant and it is very underwhelming but those are some of the best spots to eat so I thought nothing of it. My order wasn’t ready but the staff was nice and the wait wasn’t long. When I started to eat I notice that the goat was not spicy at all it was very disappointing. The garlic naan was excellent but I was there for the goat. The flavor was there but the spice wasn’t. I may try them again to see if they can do better because I really want to like this place.
All said and done it was disappointing but if you don’t like spicy this place is for you.

CTM is delicious. Went there tonight. Of course a staple dish at most restaurants but the chicken tikka masala hit the spot with amazing flavor and heat. I also enjoyed their Chicken 65
As well, the waitstaff frequent your table to see how you are. I will definitely return and try other dishes. In sum, both great food and service.

The food was amazing! Clean and comfortable We were out looking for a really good Indian food experience and we found one! The food and service was excellent. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. And our dish was extrodinary.
Try this restaurant if you in the area, you will not be disappointed.

had to write a review 15mins into my dinner with my boyfriend here. it’s amazing. the service here is great, very quiet, gentle & the food oh my goodness deliciousssssss. had to finish my review after the dinner because once the dishes came out I was feasting! my boyfriend got us the sweet & mango lassi, basically smoothie-​like drinks and my… great. appetizer, we had the chicken pakora and they bring a small hard taco-​type thing I believe is roti with two sauces that were DELISHH, I dipped the pakora in the sauces and oooo the taste.
had chilly chicken, butter chicken & another dish with my favorite… naan! was so full not even halfway through the dinner had to pack it to go.
for dessert we had the infamous rasmalai, very small portion but good enough for me cause I was already so full! it’s like sweet lemon milk with two soft cakes mmmm, definitely coming back whenever I’m craving brown food!
had a tinyyy incident during the dinner, just a bug my boyfriend killed but the manager/​owner was so attentive and assuring and came over to us to tell us he has the exterminator come ever so often but I didn’t mind when I usually would get so grossed out because it was so nice clean and calm in there! plus the food. too good. they’re an amazing place, will definitely be coming back!

Ordered the Garlic Naan and the butter chicken. It was yummy. The sauce for the butter chicken was really good. I asked for mild but there was certainly some heat in there. I guess there version of mild is still spicy lol… When I was younger I couldn’t really handle the heat. Now luckily I can otherwise I would of been drinking the entire container of milk. I plan to try a few more items in the future.

The food was fantastic. We started with the mixed grill and then had the lamb vindaloo, the saag paneer and some garlic naan. Everything was fresh and delicious. We asked for spicy and they delivered. In addition to the delicious food the service was stupendous. I have been to fancy expensive restaurants and the service here was exponentially better. My water glass never got half way down and they were all wanted to ensure that our dishes were prepared to our liking. We will definitely return.

Came here with my girlfriend on a Saturday night around 7pm. There was a loud Caribbean party next door, which hurt the atmosphere. The service is friendly and attentive, keeping out waters filled. We ordered veggie samosas as an appetizer. They were a bit greasy, but the flavors were okay. Main course I had a chicken curry and garlic naan. The curry was a bit thin and not spicy enough, and the chicken pieces were a bit stringy. The garlic naan was slightly dry and didn’t have that soft sweetness that many tandoor ovens give naan. Overall the food is mediocre, but the service is quite attentive and friendly.

Been wanting to try this place for a while. I live nearby but am never in this area so I always forget. I tried getting delivery a while back and they would say they don’t deliver. Well I called today and they apparently deliver again. Which is awesome because I just ate the best butter chicken I have ever eaten. If I could choose my form of death, I would choose death by butter chicken overdose. Like just hook me up to an iv and let me die happy.
Anyhoo, I will certainly be ordering that again, with garlic naan and raita. I will skip the keema paratha. It was dry and fell apart.
Very excited they deliver again! I forsee an extra 10 pounds in my near future.

I really love this place. Delicious food, excellent service and reasonable prices. Best Indian restaurant in queens/​long Island area.
Goat curry and garlic Nan is so yummy. When you crave for an Indian food visit this place.
You won’t be disappointed. :):)

I just catered a party from Rajdhani this evening, and everything was delicious and perfect ! In fact, this is the best Indian place that I have catered from in Queens for a dinner (I am Indian, and have tried many places in Floral Park). The food was delivered on time, and ample for the amount of people we ordered for. We ordered:
* Dahi Chaat (Appetizer)
* Gobi Manchurian (Appetizer)
* Lamb Rogan Josh
* Bhindi Masala
* Navratan Korma
* Chicken Chettinand
* Palak Panner
I highly recommend the chicken and lamb. The Chicken Chettinand was extremely spicy, but excellent never the less. They use really juicy New Zealand lamb, so the Lamb Rogan Josh was very good as well. I don’t like vegetarian food, but from what I saw, the guests really liked the Palak Paneer and Bhindi Masala.
Keep up the good work !

Ambiance: Nondescript exterior; interior minimalistic; downscale location.
Service: Attentive, plentiful, and friendly; best I have experienced in an Indian restaurant.
Entrée: $ 9.95 and up
Food: In contrast with many reviews, I have to say that Rajdhani really only serves a selection of westernized dishes. However, in this genre it shines. The chicken tikka is marinated and made in the tandoor to near perfection for this class of eatery. The tandoor made naan was flawless. The baigan bhartha (roasted eggplant mashed with chopped onion, green peas and spices) was delicious.
Summary: Good food, great service, affordable. The bomb.

Great service. Food looks and tastes great. The person who help me getting the order was very polite and courteous. I think there are so much empty space in this restaurant that can be filled up. Maybe can be turned to a dance club on certain nights, since it has the potential and the full bar. Some people left three stars for interior design! Yes it might not be the best design and for sure it can use few touches, but the food is yummy and delicious.
A+

I really enjoyed this restaurant. While the atmosphere needs revamping, the service and food more than makes up for it. Everything is delicious!
We ordered curried lamb, Kerala fish, and Madras chicken as Maddon course dishes. They were fantastic! The garlic naan was fantastic and the chicken 65 and cauliflower loon (?)were both great.
No doubt-​5 stars.

Nice food, good service, odd unpleasant greyish lighting.
Palak Chana and Garlic Naan were excellent. Muligatawny soup only okay. Lovely fragrant white rice.
Would return regularly if it wasn’t overpriced for the small serving size.

Rajdhani is the place where u can get the authentic Indian food. They do have great variety items in there menu
We had the chicken tikka and aloo paratha with yogurt sauce.
If I could give more than 5 * I will give it for the service. I am happy I tried this place :)

Tasty Tandoori salmon
I love it
I had tandoori salmon and palak paneer with roti. I tried this place bcoz of the reviews and am glad that i tried :)

After many years of skepticism and waffling, I decided to check out this spot tonight. I have heard many great things from neighbors who have dined and/​or taken out from here so I thought «What the heck???»
Ordered a single dish for take out as it was just me eating and I know Indian restaurants tend to be pretty generous when packing a container with biryani. I had the lamb biryani which was accompanied by a small container of raita and (mostly) lemon pickle. As expected, the container was jam-​packed and truly is enough for 2 people with a moderate appetite… or enough for one «starving» individual.
The rice was fluffy and contained tons of lamb. The raita was decent but nothing special and there was not enough of it for my liking. Then again, I like a lot of raita when I’m enjoying biryani with pickle so perhaps others would be fine with the amount they include with the order. I did like the pickle although it was not spicy — mostly tangy. I didn’t mind though.
I wished there was a little more flavor/​seasoning but perhaps my seasonal allergies prevented me from truly detecting/​enjoying that. Given the overall visual and textural presentation, I would give this dish another go and will likely try some other items as well.
Beware that parking can be a little tricky due to it’s location (Hillside Ave./Francis Lewis Blvd.) and lack of a private lot. If you don’t mind walking a block or, this shouldn’t be a huge problem most of the time. The do have a catering/​banquet hall attached the dining hall so that may increase the parking issues if there is an event taking place when you drop in to dine.

A great chicken tikka masala here, which is a large portion and comes with a large side of rice. It was large enough for 2 – 3 meals. The garlic nan also came as a significant portion.
Great pricing, amazing portions, and very tasty.

Incredible Indian food.
The restaurant was empty on a Friday evening which usually is a bad sign. The air was thick and humid. The place was also eerily silent. However, after a few minutes they put on some Indian Pop music videos which added a level of whimsical authenticity to the joint. Along came in many loyal local patrons picking up food to go, which to me was a good sign.
My girlfriend was said the dimly lit restaurant felt like a fake Bollywood movie set and I agreed. The place was also eerily quiet but they put on some fun Indian Pop music videos. The ambiance definitely has a twilight zone type vibe. Despite the weird setting, the Indian food was one of the best I’ve ever had.
We ordered a sag paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, and Poori bread.
Being a spice addict I also ordered the Chicken Vindaloo.
The Sag paneer was delicious. It tasted like creamed spinach you get in a steak house with a little kick. The paneer itself had a slightly firm but not too firm texture.
The Chicken Tikka Masala was velvety and had just the right amount of sweetness to it. A perfect marriage of sweet and savory. The pieces of white meat actually tasted like real chicken unlike other Indian joints with overly dry and crumbly pieces of chicken.
The Chicken Vindaloo was the best I’ve ever had. It was clean and crisp and not overly greasy if that’s possible. I asked for it extra spicy and they The pieces of chicken were dark and juicy. There were also chunks of potato which soaked up the spices nicely.
The poori bread was slightly greasy but the Garlic Naan was pretty awesome and not overly doughy.
Rajdhani offers some high class Indian cuisine in a sketchy neighborhood. If you feel like you are tough enough, you should definitely give this place a shot.
