The place is amazingly well decorated and creates an amazing Rajasthani experience for those who have not visited the real place. Location is just right distance from the city, they have adequate parking space which is heartening to see.
They have Camels, horses, gymnast, folk dancers, puppet shows, pottery, astrologers, kulfi wala, pan wala, mehendi artist, tattoo, ethnic and Rajasthani art work and souvenir shops... you think of it and they have it there... wide variety under the sun to create that classic Rajasthani village thar experience... I visited the place at night, it is well lit and gives an village ambience with lanterns, fire torches and old yellow bulbs, staff is friendly and warm although the front desk / reception staff could atleast show more warmth and provide welcome feel rather than being cold and typical marwadi (business oriented, no offence intended) A little bit of smile will not decrease the profit ☺️
I would give a 8 out of 10 for the sheer ambience to this place, like all of its franchisees it lives upto the mark. The drawback or improvement opportunity i suggest is in the taste of food, for people who go there to taste classic Rajasthani / Marwadi food would disappoint their taste buds.
They need to improve the quality and taste of food served at this place, an additionly maintaining hygiene would be a feather in cap. Also the cost I feel is on the higher side for commoners, I would still be happy to pay that amount if the food taste would have triggered the satiety centre in my brain.
Overall an good experience, a good place to go with family and friends, if you can afford get together, functions etc can be very well organised at this place.

We visited Chokhi Dhani the day after Diwali. Contrary to my expectation of rush at the place, it was fairly OK. Being such a large venue, it's very accommodating for even a large crowd. It's quite accessible and very close to people staying near Thane. Card holders to be cautious as they don't accept any card and Charges (600) are substantial so plan some cash along. Venue is pretty attractive with a rustic touch. Very well reminds of Rajasthan's culture. Quiet a number of events to get entertained. Public shows are non-chargeable but some other activities are charged a small amount. Food range and quality is OK. Taste is relatively better than other general Rajasthan food places in Mumbai but comparison with authentic Rajasthan food will be little high on expectations. Overall, a good place to spend a quality time with family. 2-3 hours can be easily spent at the place.
Its a lovely traditional plc, ppl who want to experience sumthing diff and traditional style, must visit this plc.
Its a lovely experience.
Well I have been there with my family to celebrate my wife's birthday. Loved everything about this place. from activity to entertainment to great food. Pure rajasthani style. Great music and playing area for kids.

Must must visit guys
Must visit for all the Rajasthani Folks.. It's gives you a proper feel of a village.. With beautifully built interiors and various cultural activities and performances to keep you engrossed.. And the hospitality is like a cherry on the cake..the food is typical rajasthani cuisine.. And satisfying in both quality as well as quantity.. Great place to spend an evening :)
Its an awesome place the place is converted into mini Rajasthan the whole culture of the Rajasthan is shown.There Dancing,there puppets show n the food.
The place is amazing.kids would love it.go there with friends n whole day u gonna enjoy. Lots of food,dance,fun n entertainment.full rajasthani style but the only thing that bothered me was the humid climate n Dr was no AC at the dinning place too.may be they havnt kept it to give a rajasthan feeling but it was really difficult towards the end of the day.

I visited this place this Sunday with my family .... A huge place converted into mini Rajasthan .There are lots of activities which keep u entertained in case u are with kids . Golawala, puppet show , camel ride, bullock cart ride , bangles shop, artefacts sale , mehendi, and other things for entertainment .there is a counter bajara roti and Chutney and last the yum food. Good experience overall .definately worth the visit .
food is great delicious.Good for spending time with family.WE can ride on camel and jopy ride and can see folk dances and can go for traditional mehandi designs.
I went over there on My birthday before 2 years ago.Best place to celebrate any occasion.we had a Grand welcome from chowkhi dhani.They just give is that traditional feel as we are going in Rajasthan.I just loved the food.It was so tasty .In chowkhi dhani different typws of shows n stalls are also there to entertain us.we just enjoyed that 4 hours In chowkhi dhani.
Unique gateway with unique experience , you should visit once the food arrangement is above average yet not impressive, the theme it offers is great, atmosphere is very Rajasthan village type, the real ethnic dance , good arrangement for mehendi, malish, camels, and many things, mostly very good to enjoy with your family .. Excellent for family gettogether
We went here for our annual event. Everything about the place is awesome. The way they treat their customers. You feel like you having food at home. Very good experience must visit at least once.
Very unique theme restaurant. Enjoyable place with family, folk dance, massage and lot for people first time going there.. Food quality was ohk. But enjoyed well, had a good time.
There are several things to give a review about... Located alongside the highway, it a very well setup Rajasthan village which gives a traditional village feel to it (lanterns, swagat tika, pagdi). A very big campus with many timepass things to do...bullock, camel ride, pottery, astrologer, puppet dance, folk dance, giant wheel etc. Ambience is very relaxing. Now comes to the main thing- Food. It is a traditional rajasthani main course which can be enjoyed to the fullest by North Indians or those with big bellies and foodies. Other people will not like the food to that extent. So just opt for this place to enjoy the ambience.
PS- A suggestion to the place owners-
Please arrange for a cycle cart for a tour of entire campus. Most of the people end up enjoying whichever is the closest from the entrance and don't explore fully
Cheers.
I had visited this place back in the year 2009!
It had just opened back then! A great place to spend ur whole evening! Liked Rajasthani food there!
First of all, if you are going to this place then make sure you have an ample amount of free time with you.
Along with food you have magic shows, rajasthani dance (with some stunts with fire), camel ride etc.
There are few rajasthani starters to begin with like samosa chaat, some masala puri etc since the dishes keep changing everyday.
At the other end you have paratha chutney prepared on a sigri. It Tastes really different to what we are used to eating when prepared on a normal pan.
The main course is really very rich with many types of sabzi roti and dal rice and lastly sweet dishes.
The people serving food are awesome and always serve with a smile.
A different experience which not seen anywhere else in this area. Had a great time of viewing Rajasthani Culture this Diwali.
Dinner Food is decent with a lot of varieties a typical Rajasthani Cusine and look and feel of Rajasthan as far as sitting place goes.
Evening snacks menu was a letdown. Not much to offer there and also it was open so hygiene should have been maintained.
Also, the timing was 5-11, but I feel 4 hrs is decent as after 4 hrs you would get bored.
One of the nice rajhastani concept on the outskirts ... A bit of a drive...but definately worth a visit once...overall it ws a good expirence....although I feel they should provide some kind of shade provision specially during rains...There are some activities like puppet show camel ride, magic show all this is good if u hav kids wid u. Food was very average not that gr8...bajre ki roti was one of the nicest dish i had..also after the food ws expecting some kind of kulfi or pan, I guess they need to add something to end the main course. Overall worth a visit.

Another of the places where 3.1 i guess is unjustified.
A huge place located on the outskirts in Kalyan about an hour + of drive from my place. On a rainy Saturday, we decided to give this gigantic place a shot. To begin with the road to get to this place is a little rocky, primarily due to the out going rains. But once you there, you in a different world. Huge gates loads of area and a lot of activities a total rare for people from Mumbai. This place can surely keep you engrossed for a couple of hours before you realize that you are here for food and not the astrology sessions. :-p.
Now onto the food:
As soon as you enter there is a counter serving you Jaljeera and water - the Jaljeera is refreshing after a long drive. Walk in for another 200 mtrs and the 1st set of starters greets you; Kachori Curry and Moong Salad accompanied with Tea. On a rainy day, what better combination than Hot Kachoris and Chai. Absolutely loved the environment to have these starters.
About 300 mtrs ahead is another gem of a counter; Bajra roti served with butter, garlic chutney and Jaggery. This dish surely sinful but was brilliant. Ladies making the Bajra roties fresh and lading them with butter again with rain pouring - Priceless.
Main Course: Now here was a little disappointment. The food here is just about okay, nothing great. The menu was decent - Dal Baati Choorma, Kadhi, Paneer Mattar, Gatte Ki sabzi, Aaloo ke sabzi with fresh rotis. Except for the Gattee ki sabzi and Choorma, everything was just about fine. The gatta was very well done up and spiced to perfection. With fresh warm rotis this was a winner of a dish.
All in all an awesome experience, worth the fuel burnt. At Rs. 600/- pp, a tad expensive keeping in mind the fuel spent to get here and the fact that the food was just about passable.
P.S: They have activities like Hair Beading, Mehendi, Rajasthani Folk dance and music, Magic show, Puppet Show, Astrology, Head Massage, Camel and horse riding and a fun fair in the premises.
This a place away for mumbai to relax, spend around half a day, enjoy the village life experience which is different from normal life of mumbai. The restaurant has big area there are different sections where you can eat food, such as fast food, sweet dish, main course, juices rotis. There are areas where you can see different sort of dance, magic shows, Puppet show etc. The place is very photogenic. It is suitable for large group. The food is free and unlimited, you just have to pay the entry fee. It is not at all expensive. They have tried to make replica of Chokhi Dhani of Jaipur but I must say Jaipur's Chokhi Dhani is best. Nevertheless this also as per as far as Mumbai is concerned.
The food here is amazing ! Suitable for those who have a huge appetite because they really coax you to have more.. Great ambience that gives you a touch of all the flavors of rural India! Perfect way to wind up your weekend 👌👍

1) Ambiance: Now this place is more than just the ambiance, it is a phenomenon all by itself. I wish the location was a little more convenient, but if you need a peaceful, yet interesting day out-away from "Mumbai-madness", this could be one of those places. The entire set up gives you the Rajasthani feel but they still need to work a lot to make this one as good as the one in Jaipur (I had been there a few years ago). However, their attempts at keeping their traditions alive and earning their bread is definitely worth a visit. Go on a weekend around 7:30-8pm, That is when it is all lit up and the crowd gathers in larger numbers.
2) Food: As you enter, you will have welcome drinks waiting for you. We had JALJEERA and they had added little sweetness to the drink which I liked (I had 7 glasses of it :P ). As you go around watching the different folk dances and puppet shows, they have their snacks counter where they serve 2 starters. We had SPROUTS CHAT which was a perfect balance of sour & sweetness and KACHORI-KADHI in which the kadhi needed seasoning and tadka. The kachori however, was crunchy outside and tasty by itself. After another 1 and half hours of rides we came across a section that was preparing hot BAJRE KI ROTI served with ghee, garlic chutney and gur. We were 8 of us and all of us gorged on it! Filling, fresh, delicious and piping hot- that was one of the highlights of our visit there. We watched a few more dances followed by window shopping. Then we finally sat down for dinner at their dining hall. Traditional ways were really picturesque but I really hope they do add leaf plates instead of paper plates to add to their authenticity. They had GATTE KI SABZI (I've had better) which was more sour than normal, KADHI which needed seasoning & tadka, BANARASI AALOO which was made really well and MATAR PANEER which too had the right mix of spices in it. DAL& BAATI were delicious. CHOORMA too was good but a Rajasthani friend suggested that they should prepare it using jaggery instead of sugar. Their HALWA was sinful, yet tasty with coconut and jaggery. BAJRE KI KHICHDI too was different but I am yet to develop a taste for it. CHAAS was smashing!
3) Service: Early evening might seem slow but as the time progresses, their service tends to match up the demand. Dhol plays at different spots (we made one our own dancing floor) and thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
4) VFM (4/5): So an unlimited veg dinner + 2 snacks + hot hot bajre ki delicious rotis+ tea+ 4 types of different Rajasthani folk dances+ astrology + puppet show + make your own dance floor +make your own pot (pottery section) = Rs.600/- The camel rides and all come for a minimal cost of Rs.20/- to Rs.40/- I am pretty sure we won't get that anywhere else in Mumbai! However, if you do not have an open palate for different varieties of food or veg food, they you should try some other place. Also, if you need loud music and need adventure, this place may not be upto your expectations. However, I personally feel that it is a steal and ideal for a family outing.
Authentic rajasthani food... If ur like rajasthani taste u will relish this place, make sure and get the time slot for thali system b4 entering... not recommended for buffets. Hard core non vegetarian to avoid this place.
Good place to go, yesterday I went with my friends for dinner, very silent place with some entertainment show like Puppet, potter, head massage and astrologer. Coming upon food good traditional Rajasthani food, sitting in Indian style. Lots of Ghee in food. Service is little fast where if you don't want some thing then also waiter will put in your plate which make wastage of food in your plate.
Ambience - 5/5
Food- 3.5/5
Service - 3/5
Overall experience - 4/5
Its a bit far from kalyan also.Coming to the food its purely gujrati rajasthani.Village themed ambiance.Its a very nice place to hangout too.Many activities like camel ride archery balloonshoot nailart mehendi pottery puppetshow bhangda garba are done here
Far from city; food is very basic rajasthani fare but the place is beautiful large;airy and full of entertainment. You have pottery,mehendi, braiding,massage, astrology,swings and folk dance plus music.Food is very normal but highly recommend if you want to walk around and experience Rajasthani life in Mumbai.
One of the most exclusive concepts of eateries I have ever seen. Something for entire family .u have stuff like mehndi and chudi for ladies , games and camel rides for kids , magic shows and puppet shows for entire family and lot of other stuff like a proper village .The first time I went to this place I was totally blown out . Terrific place . Terrific ambience. Class apart hospitality I have ever seen serving u with personal touch the Indian way . Visit it once and u will have a memorable evening that's for sure
A complete family destination! The village atmosphere with lively entertainment and spacious property all together make this a great way to spend the weekend. Food is a basic authentic rural palette served in typical desi style (sitting down with low tables in front on which one places the aluminium utensils to eat from). Don't expect an exotic array but if you wish to be reminded of your long ago childhood visits to your ancestral home in the village, this place is it. :)
Had visited with family. Rajasthani style ambience. Camel ride and many things are there. Food is fine, not exactly particular Rajasthani food but fine. Overall experience was fine. One time visit is good with family.

Right from the welcoming to the interiors to their food everything is traditional about this place. Good and successful effort to replicate original Choki Dhani. Ambience is wonderful. Food is great but the Live Bajre ki Roti's Counter is to die for. Bajre ki roti served with spicy chutney makkhan and Gud will definitely give you foodgasm. It's the quick getaway from the modern life of Mumbai. Definitely worth visiting if you love traditional Rajasthani food.
A very good try to make a replica of original choki dhani. The place is good n lot of things for amusement. People liking Rajasthani food should be missing if not visited
One of the best place to have rajasthani food in Mumbai with live puppet show, dance, games, camel and horse riding. Staff is excellent. One must try kadi kachori.
A complete entertainment package!!
It is A typical rajathani village.. The village staff were very kind. We were welcomed in a traditional way.. ND the welcome drink. It was fun inside as it comprised of live fun activities like came ride, horse ride, the tradional dance, singing, magic show, the mini gaint wheel, the fortune teller and much more...
The food was okayish for me as I am a hard core non vegetarain. And the food there was pure vegetarain and heavily loaded with desi ghee.
In all, it was a good one time experience!!
Visited twice love this place.. typically authentic food better place to spend some tym wid fmly & frnds.. experience is simply memorable with live puppet show, camel riding, dance etc.. full on entertaining place.. must visit
This is a marwadi dhaba where you can taste the authentic marwadi cuisines with the feel of rajasthan, here you are welcomed with their traditional dance, As you enter you are served with a welcome drink, there is also camel and horse riding with their puppet shows and traditional dance, later on you are served with their various cuisines and bajri rotlas with ghee and heavy food you can eat as much as you can its unlimited and all this for Rs.500 per person ain't it a nice deal, Alcoholic beverages are not served here and yes this one is a vegetarian family Restaurant, kids love this place, nice place to visit just like a picnic point
Typically authentic food. Love the cuisine. Tooo heavy with lots of pure ghee. We get d fragrance of the same. Loved the place A Better place out of Mumbai nt much far so tat we can njoy food and the ambience and specially d welcoming part and the dance even we can join the floor & try some of their step.
It was outstanding food and Rajasthani culture, dance and many more. If u want know Rajasthani culture, this is right choice, Chokhi Dhani. Must visit..
I am a hardcore Non veg, when I went to this place I thought I would be disappointed eating Vegetarian... But I was wrong.. This place actually serves really amazing Rajasthani Vegetarian food...
Chokhi Dhani is a wonderful experience of great food, great hospitality and depth of culture!!
Last year went Jaipur n d place was huge...so dint expected much from kalyan...but d food n ambience made me feel as if m n Rajasthan...dy have other curricular activities too...it starts after 5pm-1pm n eve....May visit again to gt feel f ma native place...

Having been to the Chokhi Dhani at Jaipur, we were not expecting much from the Kalyan counterpart.
We were pleasantly surprised with the hospitality and the food served.
PROS
1. Takes you back to the village with a completely Traditional setup and feeling
2. Good quality Veg food (unlimited)
3. Light on the pockets (₹500pp)
4. Excellent hospitality & customer friendly staff
5. Highlights being - Camel ride, Oil head massage, magic show, traditional music, puppet show and the Astrologer(must go)
6. The last one deserves a special mention, It's Amma ji's Makke-di-roti served with ghee, red chutney and jaggery. Missing this would be like going to Agra and not seeing Taj Mahal.
CONS-
1. Proximity from the city, difficult to reach from Kalyan if you don't have a vehicle, auto drivers are hesitant to go because of the traffic
2. Very small in comparison to the one at Jaipur(no complains though)
3. Camel rides are blink and miss
4. Most of the shops inside are closed
Overall it's a great family get away. Definitely recommended for all the vegetarians and the non-vegetarians too.

Very nice place.
Good customer service.
Food quality and taste has to b improved.
The best i liked was the staff was serving food as v have come to someones home.
Very homely nature and u wil have ur food till ur ur stomach is full.
Unlimited food.
Otherwise the best place for family picnic.
Chokhi Dhani is like amazing . Call it mini Rajasthan . The ambience is swift . Its setting is that of a typical village . The food is amazing . There are a lot of activities that can be done . Although it is located in the outskirts of the city , visit it once . It's like the best place to be in !
Its nothing but a mini chokhi dhani of rajasthan. U will njoy the flavour of rajasthani food ..n desi flavour and u will njoy rajasthani culture ...
If you really want a shot break from your daily schedule. But don't want to travel long and want to plan a good week end. Head up to this adorable and amazing place CHOCKI DHANI ( mini Rajasthan) .
A small set up of typical Rajasthan.
Typical rajasthani food.
Various sports pot making,mhendi,card readers, indoor games, dance, camel riding,
And many more on the list.
In all a good place to hangout along with family and kids.
Can say if u want to have a big family get together CHOKI DHANI is amongst the place's you expect to hangout along with family. :D
In all total dhamaka place to go with family.!
A little Rajasthan, a few hours drive from Mumbai. Chokhi Dhani has an incredible ambience. If you can't travel to Rajasthan, you can experience it here. And if you have kids with you, then undoubtedly it is one of the few options for a fun-filled evening. Travelling to Kalyan, could cost a lot for some in Mumbai. But since they have a package deal for 500 bucks, it's value for money. You'll have to pay for some peripherals, but that's not expensive either. The last, but obviously not the least. Food is typically Rajasthani, yum & full of ghee. Bajre ki roti (part of snacks, not the main course) is an experience you won't want to miss. To wrap up, I would say it's a good destination if you have an entire evening free.
Yes. It is far but the trip is really worth it. The place is beautifully done like a small village and has performances, astrologers, hair braiders, games etc, entertainment for the whole family.The elaborate dinner thali is very well planned. All items are deliciously prepared and served with a lot of warmth. The desserts are awesome. The servers force you to eat everything with ghee... and trust me it does taste much better. Hot food served with so much enthusiasm... how can anyone say no to that?
Very good place to visit. It's located in the outskirts of Mumbai city. Ample amount of parking space available. The quality of food served is very nice. Try to reach the place by 5 pm so that you can spent good time. The ambience and design is very nice.
Not that great food. But decent enough. Wish they had more traditional Rajasthani cuisine. But make sure that you reach here by atleast 6-7 to enjoy all the activities.
Very traditional.... Nice food and the people were also good.i think the price is little over rated.... It feels bad when you don't give incentives to the entertainers but you are also paying an entry fee of ₹600....
So it should be less than that...... otherwise worth visiting..........
You should definitely visit this place with kids. Food is ok(sweet superb). Other attractions are rajasthani folk dance,magic show, puppet show,punjabi dhols. 3 hrs can be spend easily. Overall good time spent on new year eve and other.
Nice place to visit once with family and kids specially. Lots of activities for kids, dance, puppet show, magic show, pottery, tattoo and mehndi, camel ride, bullock ride and horse ridding. Kids will love this place. The food was not that great compared to the real one at rajasthan. Once a go specially if u have kids
Amazing place for a family outing, a date, school class trips. Good perspective of the Rajasthani culture. The food is to die for.
This place was a good joint with Gujarat veg dishes. Now this place is hit down. They do have other branches in other location other than kalyan.
Good one for a day picnic. Nice rajasthani food. But the place is little dusty due to open surroundings.
You should definitely visit this place with kids. Food is ok(sweet superb). Other attractions are rajasthani folk dance,magic show, puppet show,punjabi dhols. 3 hrs can be spend easily. Overall good time spent on new year eve.
Its a best place to experince Rajasthani culture and lifestyle..... But its too costly for an ordinary person..... However its good for family spot...
Amazing place, amazing staffs, lip-smacking food, well maintained ambience.. Would recommend everyone and planning to pay visit many times!!
