Welcome to Rajkot Indian Tapas Restaurant & Bar where our journey began in 2005, where our family’s passion for authentic, hearty Indian cuisine introduced something unique to the local dining scene. Nearly two decades later, we are thrilled to reopen at a new, larger, and more modern location, continuing our commitment to delivering an exceptional dining experience.

Inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit and hustle of Rajkot in Gujarat, we strive to create a dining experience that is unique, authentic, and full of passion. Our menu blends traditional dishes with tapas and street food, capturing the essence of this vibrant city.

Our chef, with us from the beginning, is back to serve the dishes that made Rajkot a favourite: the daring Nuclear Wings Challenge, our Rajkot Machi, and the popular Rajkot Lollipops.
