Changed my view of what Rajasthani food is supposed to be ...they serve some amazing food and their effort and quality of ingredients is def seen in the taste
There is no way i can describe the taste and hospitality given by the Tradition. Tribhuwan uncle the owner of restaurant have an amazing experience and his love make food more tasty. Amazing experience do visit.
A distinctly unique dining experience among countless restaurants in Udaipur. Went with a foreign couple visiting Udaipur who wanted to have that traditional Rajasthani food experience. We were recommended the Rajasthani thali by the courteous staff and we went with it. The food was the most authentic that I had tasted in any restaurant in Udaipur. They served the dishes one by one, explaining each dish meanwhile teaching us how to eat them. It added greatly to the dining experience. There was so much food, none of us could finish all of it, but we were so full and content. Along with that, there was a folk band playing Rajasthani music and the ladies were singing and dancing. It was just a perfect evening altogether for us.
Definitely recommend going there especially in groups rather than alone. The ambience is great and the food authentic.
Amazing real traditional food
I though it must be difficult to reach and will have no parking space, but it was easy to reach and had ample parking space.
We went for lunch, we were the only one at the restaurant. They have a open space and some covered seating outside.
We sat inside, they have a live tree which I liked.
4-5 waiter were there, some of us opted for thali for which the place is famous, others ordered khichdi.
The negetive which we felt was that the people who did not opt for thali were neglected from taking order to serving.
Our thali arrived, they serve very nicely and guide how to eat. Its like a journey for the first serving. Items are limited but taste was very authentic. But again after all was served they showed lack of interest in serving. Common we paid for unlimited tali atleast come and ask what do you need next. Anyhow I called them and ate what ever I liked.
When we finished, had words with the owner. Decent person, he also asked us to try desserts which were not included in thali also he told that they have some traditional dance performance in the evening.
Overall very good better then choki dhani in terms of taste and value for money.
The food was amazing, this is the place to get best and authentic rajasthani food.
Awesome taste of food and good quality of food with proper serving by the staff with smily face and awesome falk dance .enjoyed a lot
What a marvelous place, with absolutely beautiful decor! Great service, and brilliant yummy food. Must have the Pakode ki Khichdi! Would recommend 10/10. Must go here!
Great place, loved the Rajasthani thali! Ended up coming back again for the pakode ki khichdi
Okay, so this is just perfect, no need to discribe this place,
Felt so good to learn how exactly to savor Rajasthani cuisine. Great staff and mouthwatering food.
Awesome food, great service, really a must visit palace ☺
Must visit when in udaipur for traditional rajesthani food experience. Loved it. Staff was wonderful. They explained us the way to go through the proper process of having the thali. Thanks to Mr Harshit kothari for making our experience even more special.
If you want to get the authentic feel of a Rajasthani food and the cultural atmosphere, this is THE PLACE to visit. We were suggested this place by someone when we asked them for the finest traditional food.
The place has a lot of seating area and a very comfortable seating too. They gave us a kesar and rose drink for welcome which itself was very impressive. Their moong dal pakoda for appetisers with their delicious chutneys also won us over. They had a lot of variety for the main dishes and the highlight however was the Makke ka subzi, which I was tasting for the first time and their kadhi which was completely out of this world and one of the best kadhi I have had.
The finest thing about the restaurant is that they tell you how to go about the dishes and how it’s to be eaten. As for laymen like me, it made it so much simpler as I had no clue on how to go about Rajasthani food. Their butter milk was also very fine and just the one serving of the food made is so full.
It was a great personal touch because the owner of the restaurant also interacted with us and advised us on watching the folk dance that was happening on their premises right outside. The folk dance and singing was performed by a bunch of talented artists that would give you a proper traditional feel and the cool weather and their comfortable seating just made it all so much better.
A MUST TRY ON YOUR VISIT TO UDAIPUR.
Our second visit here. Good quality food. Polite staff and beautiful ambience. Importantly, their thali has authentic ingredients. Highly recommended!
Best food ever. Best Rajasthani feels ! Visit is a must
Felt like eating with family, never felt I was eating at a restaurant. Best best experience. Udaipur trip safal ho gaya.
We got the best experience as the staff guided us through the ways of Rajasthani dining!!
we visited Traditional Khan yesterday. Food was delicious they do serve auntenticate Royal Rajasthani Thali unlimited but I feel 650rs for one thali is too high. However you are visiting udaipur you must visit to here
One of the best place one can ever visit for the best ever food.Great hospitality which makes you write and tell others that one should never miss this lovely place and visit at least once.
Every dish of Rajasthani thali is delicious
Just visit this place
The place is excellent in terms food, staff and space.
We had a great time trying out the different food stuffs, the owner gives personal attention and explains the different food items. Various Rajasthani shows are also held while having food. It’s a good place and highly recommended anybody who is coming to Udaipur
Probably the best restaurant I have found in Udaipur. They serve a great traditional thali with different types of curries and chutneys and of course, daal baati. The owner as well as the server staff are super friendly and even show you the proper way of eating the food served. Definitely visit this place if you’re a foodie in Udaipur.
I'm a hardcore non-vegetarian who always finds reasons to avoid pure vegetarian restaurants. However, having had a lot of meat I decided to accompany a friend to traditional khana. At traditional khana it's not only about the food, it's the entire gamut of emotions that you go through. I liked it how the staff made it a point to tell me explicitly the various combinations in which the food had to be devoured. Every dish is as authentic as it gets, doesn't feel greasy at all. My personal favorites consisted of the rose water given at the start and the churma laddoo at the end. Not that the other dishes were not great, but these two stood apart for me.
Worth it! Loved it! Nailed it!
The place serves the best Rajasthani Royal Thali with traditional instructions on how to eat the items. Dal Bati Choorma is phenomenal.
Another fabulous item in their sweets is “Choorme ka Laddoo”. I bet you you won’t find any choorma laddoo that tastes similar, even at the famous sweet shops. It is different and is actually “choorme” ka laddoo. Those who know how is choorma prepared they will know.
They also provide sweets to be packed.
P.S.
- “chulhe”(fireplace) ki rabri ✔️ (also a must try)
Nothing other than this place comes closer to serving you the traditional thali in udaipur. This is the must visit places in udaipur . The staff is very helpful and are always happy to help you out with the history and process behind the local food cuisine. If you end up having dinner here you will be accompanied with local folk songs and dance which makes an completed experience itself. Well finally coming to the point food this scores an perfect aces in this area be it Dal bhati churma , gatte ki sabzi or kher sangria.
Also this is the place which you the royal dish named jakolma roti
Ambience -4.5/5
Food -4.7/5
Service - 4.7/5
Overall - 4.6/5
Thali which will leave you feeling full and satiated. The amazing part of the experience is the way it’s served and the sequence in which you eat it. You will walk out happy.
Traditional Khana is the place to eat in Udaipur. Whole experience of having dinner at this place is memorable, starting from receiving a guest, explaining dishes as they are served, suggesting combinations to eat, keep on interacting with guest about food, quality of food and not to miss, comfortable seating. Here they serve well defined Rajasthani dish having variety from Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Bikaner and Mewar. Some dishes become memory by themselves like Jakolma Puri (bread) , Ghee Smoked chhas (butter milk), Kadi and Kadai ki Chana Daal. This place is highly recommended for any food admirer and lover.
Superb food. We loved it so much. Would like to visit the next time we are in Udaipur. Would really recommend this place.
The place is super awesome. Fast service, courteous staff and lovely Rajasthani food. The taste of the food like home food. Must visit place.
The place has a great vibe to it. Have never seen a staff this courteous. We were explained what is each dish and how is it to be eaten, which was awesome. Even the owner is super sweet, he was talking to all the guests and was making sure that everyone was enjoying food. Charges 2k for 3 people. It's thali system offering authentic rajasthani veg food. I would suggest to take small portions and then repeat whatever you like ...A must must must try place...
The best food I have eaten in a long time.
The food was beyond amazing. The owner was the perfect host. Told us how to go about eating the thali.
I would have given 6 stars had it been allowed.
Amicable ambience, great food
They offer unlimited Rajasthani thali for 650 bucks, but for a Non Rajasthani person like me, it will be a waste as one finds it difficult to finish even what is served in the Thali. Ambience wise its good. They also have some traditional folk shows. All in all a good place if you wish to try Traditional Rajasthani food.
Wonderful place to hangout & have your belly filled up
Awesome authentic rajasthani food with great ambience with folk song and dance in the background.
The staff was amazing and Mr. Kothari was extremely friendly, warm and inviting. He gave useful suggestions to us regarding food. The traditional dance was a special treat. The staff made sure we were well fed and guided us the right ways to approach the thali. The thali itself was a great treat.
Traditional khana
As the name this restaurant servers only the Rajasthani thali
Ambience is good
Professional staff as well
Excellent service
Specially wants to mention Mr. Harshit for his hospitality
The thali overall was good
Their chutneys were amazing
Food quality is excellent
But I think they need to work on hygiene and ventilation of the place .
It is highly recommended from my side if you are in Udaipur .
P.s just an advice for the management
If all the staff dressed up in a Rajasthani attire
Will make it more traditional
Specially with the turbans and you can present torans to guests as well like other traditional RAJASTHANI restaurants do.
A must visit place in Udaipur to try traditional food!
If you want to try the traditional rajasthani food. This is the place to visit. The staff was amazing
It’s one of the amazing restaurant I have come across, they serve authentic Rajasthani food and preparation itself is something which needs to be appreciated. 👍🏼
This place is an amazing to experience traditional authentic food . A must visit when in udaipur
We drove down from Mumbai to Udaipur for a holiday and decided to try out the traditional Rajasthani thali..this restaurant was around 12 kms away from our hotel.A good 25 minute drive. The food was delicious- very authentic and yummy... very courteous staff and friendly atmosphere. There was a live performance by traditional folk dancers... over all a good experience!!
I am not sure why the rating is 4.9, should not be less than 5
Udaipur is filled with tourist attractions and eateries that offer all kinds of fancy food but I stumbled upon something traditional at the "Traditional Khana". The restaurant makes sure that they keep the dying recepies alive. The food made here is the same way it used to be made for kings. E.g. The kadhi is boiled for 8 hours and poori is made in one stretch. Overall a hearty place to come for lunch or dinner. Thier smoked buttermilk is to die for, two thumbs up.
My report card
Price – 6/10
Taste – 10/10
Portion size - NA (I took unlimited thali)
Service – 6/10
Ambiance – 6/10
Cleanliness - 7/10
Value for money – 9/10
Will I go back – Absolutely!!
this was the first restaurant i went to in Udaipur because it had the highest rating of 4.9 on 5 in Zomato. But was disappointed, at 4.9 i thought this will be experience that i will never forget. This restaurant is at best a high 3 or early 4 ratings (somewhere in the range of 3.8 to 4.2 ratings in my view. After i entered the restaurant, i got a doubt if i had entered some one's home or was it really a restaurant. Staff was very helpful though and food was good. It is a good restaurant and worth a visit, but its not a 4.9.
Amazing and awesome experience. The food is quite exquisite and delicious. No replica can be found anywhere else.
A very good place to experience Rajasthani delicacies and hospitality. The staff and owner were very curteous..they personally keep checking if you need anything and advising how to eat the rasthani Thali. Each and every delicacy was very good .
Overall I would say great good n great hospitality
Wow food!! And the service, ambience and attention to detail only make it better! Kudos !
Authentic Food, Everyone must try their Thali
This is the best ever Rajasthani thali, I ever had. Being a Marwadi, I have a knack for traditional food. I have tried many Thalis but this was class apart. Though we had this for dinner, it was not heavy on stomach or caused any discomfort. The type of curries served were unique. The kadhi boiled for 8 hrs for just amazing.
The setting was awesome and I felt perfectly at home. The food was served in leaf plates and no spoons provided. They insisted on eating with hands. The staff was super courteous and provided finer details of the food and how to eat it. The taste was subtle and we could feel all the spices. It was slightly spicy, but that brought in the real taste. However, some people may a tough time with the spice
While leaving, we met the owner. He saw my 2 yr old was asleep and didn't have food. He insisted and packed some yummy and pure ghee khichdi for the little one. He come from the royal lineage, the courtesy and humility reflected in his behaviour.
If you are a Jain, he will ensure all food is cooked separately and there is no mixing.
This is a must visit for anyone visiting Udaipur. It deserves to be the highest rated restaurant in the country. Hats off Kothari Uncle!!
In the past 18 months I've been to Rajasthan 5 times. On each trip I make sure to have Rajasthani thali at a different restaurant. Every outing ends on a note of happiness. On my 1st trip to Udaipur I came across Traditional Khana on Zomato. I went simply because of the good reviews. By the time I had paid the bill here I was sure that their thali will be the best one for me for at least a couple of years. Amazingly good. Every single bite was bursting with flavours. A wide spread with over 15 dishes, the thali was worth every penny. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful and they informed us what things to eat in which order so as to enjoy the tastes fully. You are supposed to eat here with your hands and that coupled with the soothing ambiance would give you the feel of rural Rajasthan. I made sure to try a bit of everything but my favorite was their Kadhi, gatte ki sabzi and daal. The various dips were equally scrumptious and the smoked butter milk was heavenly- I couldn't keep a count of the number of glasses of butter milk I had.
This place should definitely be on your to do list whenever you visit Udaipur and rest assured you won't feel disappointed.
The picture in no way does justice to the authentic and mind blowing Rajasthani thali I had. It’s also a sign of impatience to try everything all at once that was being served.
The place has an amazing ambience and an extremely warm and courteous staff making sure that you’re not just satiated enough for a day!
Dal baati churma and gatta sabzi were the USP!

Starting with verdict- Don’t miss out this place when in Udaipur.
The “Giant Baati” they deconstruct it and serve to the people. And the break-down of those lovely pieces are much more softer than the soft. One of the best “Baati” ever had.
They start our journey with
“Rose-Water”
Followed by the spread
Four Chutneys:
Sonth Ki Chutney: Marvellous
Aamchur Ki Chutney: Super
Dhaniye Ki Chutney: Good
Lehsun Ki Chutney: Superior
Moondal Pakode: Crispy and mouth-crunching.
Sweet-Tooth-
Besan Ki Chakki: Not likeable
Churma Ladoo: Soorma of Sweet
Main Sabji’s-
Ker Sangri: Ok
Chakki Ki Sabji: Above Average
Govind Gatte Ki Sabji: Best of the best
Handi Ki Urad Dal: Wow
Kadai Ki Chana Dal: Stellar
Kadhi: The best of the entire meal
They ask us to have
“Jakolma Puri” rajasthani version of Puri and they guided us how to start this, 1st bite of Jakolma with Chakki Ki sabji followed up by Sonth-Chutney, Besan gatte ki sabji, Urad dal ending with dipping in Kadhi and wait for few seconds to check your taste-buds to get flourished. It really works and it was an amazing experience.
Than comes,
“Pakode Ki Khichadi”: It tastes heaven with that soulful Kadhi. 😍😍
Important Note:
They don’t give spoons to eat you have to eat it with hand in desi-style 😍😍🔥.
All above mention portion is unlimited at 650/- + tax along with some satisfying experience.
One thing to mention after eating all these your stomach will not be that heavy. All the ingredients and spices were made in desi style “લસાેટેલા મસાલા”
Good food, good taste, nice traditional ambience with pattal thali and dona, good service, the waiters tell u what to eat with what dish to relish the best taste. Overall a 4.5 rating out of 5. Thali is slightly pricy.
Delicious Rajasthani thali...behaviour of staff was friendly . I was awesome experience
Ambiance was beautiful
Thali is little pricey here but I must say it is worth every penny spent for food as well experience you get there. Server will tell you upfront how to proceed to get variety of tastes through different combinations. Their USP is their bati, they make a single bati of 5 kg and serves 10-15 out of that only, which is of unique taste. If someone is visiting Udaipur then I must say that trip is not complete unless you get a chance to taste food at Traditional Khaana.
Amazing food and frinedly staff. Hospitality is remarkable with great amibience. Hygiene maintained in kitchen is one more attraction of the restaurant
One the best authentic food one can have. The ambience, management, welcoming of guests was worth. Should definitely go. The famous thali was amazing to have.
Awesome place for traditional Rajasthani food. Opt for the Thali - that’s what they would recommend also. It is slightly expensive but the food is quite good. The service is also quick and good. Worth a visit for sure.
Wow, wow and wow. It is not just the food, it is a journey of experiencing very delicious food. And I tell you, the journey starts a day before. The food is slow cooked over 10 to 12 hours making it extremely tasty and healthy. Any one who is visiting Udaipur must visit this place. The owners are passionate and involved at their work and I think this quality of their makes the food very luscious
.
Totally deserved the 4.9 mating on zomato!
This traditional Rajasthani thali is the highlight of the trip, And the service was great too. They explained each course of the meal and how they traditionally ate it.
Definitely worth a try.
Nice place, restaurant owner is so polite and genuine person. Experienced the personal hospitality of uncle ji (restaurant owner). Must visit place in Udaipur for food lovers....
As usual the food was excellent. Best place in Udaipur for traditional food. Tribhuvanji and Harshit took great care.Kudos to them for mantaining consistency in serving sumptuous meal.
If you want to try authentic Rajasthani food.. this is the only place to go.. amazing food and best service.. would surely recommend everyone to try
Best place to have authentic Rajasthani cuisine. Don't waste time on getting the menu, directly go for thali. They will wonderfully explain what you are about to eat. If u r in udaipur go for it
A must try place in Udaipur. If u ever wanted to have actual food then this is a place. Being a Non-veg lover this change my thoughts for food. 👍👍👍
If you are in Udaipur then don’t miss the traditional Rajasthani thali @ Traditional Khana Restaurant near panchvati Chowk. The thali was served with all the authentic and delicious food. Enjoyed the dinner with the traditional folk dance. Thanks to the host for awesome evening.😍😍😍😍
The food is amazing, went there with my wife on our Udaipur trip. A must go place.
However, the ambience could be a bit better, apart from that, the staff and the food is just fab.
They also organise a traditional dance performance, loved it.
A Must Go.
Superb Ambience, food and Staff Dinesh served and explained us so well about all the dishes and how to eat them with what options. Totally worth the experience
Lovely place. Must try. Good food great ambiance. For someone who has no ethnic and traditional food knowledge of this culture, they will guide you through it. They ll tell you how to eat. Pretty amazing. Little pricy but worth it.
After 8pm they have traditional dance n folk song program too. U can join the dance as well.
If you simply wish to experience a Rajasthani thali, go here. At 8:30pm on a Wed, no one else was there, the owner looks lazy and furniture grand but faded, but the staff, musicians and dancers were wonderful!!! Just order the royal thali and everything is served immediately. The main waiter instructed us how to eat it and all items were delicious. The entertainment was enthusiastic and even asked if we had any requests.
Absolutely a beautiful place for authentic Rajasthani food.The service that they gave was very welcoming.The only thing would say is `Udaipur Jao toh traditional khana zaroor Jao ‘
Must visit place. Amazing traditional Rajasthani food and amazing service. All waiters are so polite and humble and they teach you how to eat and with what to eat different dishes. They also tell you name of dishes before putting in your plate. The owner is so humble and joly. Great place and food.
We visited this place for lunch.The food and ambiance is great. They serve food in plates made of leaves which was the traditional way of serving.The staff will navigate your way through dishes and how you can enjoy food with accompanying condiments if you are new to Rajasthani food and dishes.
Very very very tasty traditional rajasthani food. The mathoerd of serving food is very amazing. You can feel rajasthan in every bite. If you like rajasthani food and you are in udaipur you must visit Traditional khana Restaurant. You loved it. Thanks for amazing experience.
Best service and best food. Special thanks to mr Rakesh who served us with all heart
