Three Generations of Gujarati Hospitality

How We Started

From a Family Kitchen to the Whole Bay Area

Rajwadi Thali was founded on a simple yet heartfelt dream—to bring the authentic taste and timeless traditions of Gujarati cuisine to families across the United States. When Sanjay and Asha moved to the U.S. in 2011, they were excited to begin a new chapter in life, but they found themselves missing the comforting flavors of home. After visiting many Indian vegetarian restaurants, they realized that the authentic essence of a traditional Gujarati thali—the warmth, balance, freshness, and hospitality they had grown up with—was difficult to find. Inspired by this experience, they decided to create a place where every guest could enjoy the true taste of Gujarat, prepared with the same love and care as a home-cooked meal.

With dedication to preserving family recipes and traditional cooking methods, Rajwadi Thali, Chaat & Sweets was established to offer an authentic Gujarati dining experience unlike any other. Every thali is thoughtfully crafted with a variety of freshly prepared vegetables, flavorful curries, soft rotis, dal, rice, farsan, sweets, and traditional accompaniments, creating a complete meal that is both nourishing and satisfying. We believe that great food should delight all five senses—its vibrant presentation, inviting aroma, comforting textures, rich flavors, and the joyful conversations shared around the table. Every ingredient is carefully selected, every dish is prepared fresh each day, and every meal reflects our commitment to quality, authenticity, and consistency.

Today, Rajwadi Thali has become more than just a restaurant—it is a destination where culture, tradition, and community come together. Whether you’re enjoying a family dinner, celebrating a special occasion, introducing friends to Gujarati cuisine, or simply craving the comforting flavors of home, we strive to make every visit memorable. Our mission is to share the rich culinary heritage of Gujarat through genuine hospitality, exceptional service, and food prepared with passion and respect for tradition. At Rajwadi Thali, every guest is welcomed like family, and every meal is served with the warmth, generosity, and royal hospitality that define the true spirit of Gujarat.
