Yum!!! This is a great place for chaat (Indian street food) Both the Pav bhaji and the papdi chaat were superb. The dhai vada was ok. Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu items!

Masala chai? Haanji ! Yes please! This is a cozy little spot in Jackson heights, where you can sit enjoy some amazing authentic Indian food/sweets/snacks. I have tried masala chai at so many different places, but this is one is the best yet. The flavors of cardamom, and the perfect proportion of milk and black tea is at its best. My go to place for Chai and snacks cravings.

Rajbhog is my favorite place for a cheap lunch in the area. They have a great vegan and vegetarian selection (I'm vegan) and their food isn't too greasy or overcooked like some of the other inexpensive prepared food restaurants. I find I can share their large platter which comes with three selections, bread, rice, an appetizer and a sweet and it's an amazing 5-course lunch for 2 for under $10 (total!) which seems incredible and I like that I get to try lots of things but not end up overstuffed at the end and still get a great deal. They are also very nice there and sometimes even don't seem to charge for extra items which seems crazy since an under $10 lunch for two is already such a deal. I've corrected them when they were going to undercharge me since I don't want them to go out of business! It's refreshing considering I've been to a few places on the block that seem to try to charge extra and hope I don't notice, or maybe they just expect haggling when I don't. There are a few places like this in the area, prepared-food restaurants that are also sweets shops, and I've tried most of them. Rajbhog doesn't have the biggest sweets selection but their prepared foods are the best combination of freshness and value I have found. For example I went to Raja next door where the food seemed substantially greasier and not very fresh even for lunch at noon. I wish all these prepared-food places would use less disposable plates/bowls especially styrofoam. I'm sure it would cost a bit more but I think it'd be worth it and take the dining experience up a notch.

This place deserves 5 stars for its samosas and friendliness. It is my retreat for when I want a good samosa or khandvi. Veenaben is a blessing. Rajbhog is a sure winner.
(5)Shirley D.
The food is very salty, but do have reasonable prices. The staff are rude and don't seem like they want to be at work. My in laws love this place cause it fits their budget. But we avoid this place like a plague due to it's high salt content on the food....therefore cheap prices and cheap labor and cheap quality in food. Don't expect much from this place at all. It's a hole in the wall, usually they're supposed to be good, but that's not the case here at all.
(1)Priyanka C.
Great place for light Indian street food. Yummy chaat and Indian sweets. I love the veg sandwich..
(4)Ryna D.
You can get chaats from a lot of places in this neighborhood but in our experience Rajbhog's is the best. The snacks and sweets are definitely worth checking out!
(4)Nina N.
This place has great sweets, very cheap food, and great samosa chat. Food is light in oil and tasty and appetizing. By far the best place to eat in Jackson Heights if you're looking for vegetarian cuisine.
(4)Spencer L.
Great Indian sweets, make of real milk and sugar. When I am on my period, I always go get some sweets. Price is good and food is real

Growing up in Queens meant our elementary school potlucks included: Hong Kong-style fried rice, Irish soda bread, Korean songpyeon, Chinese dumplings, Indian samosas, matzoh (that one came from our teacher)... These potlucks were my introduction to Indian desserts, and taught me thusly: They're TERRIBLE! Confusing spongey textures, sickening sweetness, syrup gushing everywhere - blaugh. That said, Rajbhog is a great place to start if you want to learn to appreciate Indian desserts from a not-3rd-grade palate. They're actually enjoyable here, and have forced me to ease up on this revulsion to Indian sweets in general. Most are kept in a cold display case, which helps, and sold at $8/lb. Individual pieces are $1 each. They have a good variety of basics without being overwhelming: Gulab jamun - fried balls of milk solids soaked in syrup. Better than most I've had. These are the easiest to enjoy if you're not used to Indian desserts, since they're like syrupy doughnuts. Burfi - multicolored milk solids squares. The selection here is limited, but the mango burfi was good. The pistachio and regular were too firm. Maharaja Sweets' ( yelp.com/biz/maharaja-sw… ) is better, with smoother, fudgier texture. Cham cham - pink or white "sponges" soaked in syrup. Almost entirely flavorless beyond the syrup, with a texture like minced Styrofoam. Somehow I can see the appeal though. Try it if you want to eat something that's totally unlike any other dessert ever. Rajbhog is smaller and vaguely cleaner, but otherwise similar to Raja Sweets ( yelp.com/biz/raja-sweets… ) next door. Both sell a range of Indian desserts as well as a standard roster of prepared foods: samosas, chaat, curries, dosas. The dosas here are as impressive as any, and significantly better than what you might get at Jackson Diner ( yelp.com/biz/jackson-din… ) down the block. The chaats and samosas are decent. Most importantly, get a cup of chai while you're at it - theirs is quite nicely spiced, and beats the hell out of Raja and Maharaja Sweets' chai, both of whose are too milky and mild.
(4)Taslima C.
I only order two things when I go there and IRS the somosas chaat and kachuri chaat. I prefer the kachuri because it's cold. It has a nice mix of sweet, tangy and spicy. The portions are smaller than they were back in the day.
(4)Kiran P.
We come here every week for tea and snacks on the weekend. So many great, authentic snacks and really perfect chai. All of the vegetable dishes are so good, too. We love their karela, patras, other sabjis. They also have kulfi and shrikhand that we like to bring home! Highly recommended :)
(5)Bhalkiker B.
Jelabi was super hard. Never would suggest anyone to buy Sweet's in this place at NY.
(1)David W.
We have been coming here for years for our snacks. Everything is made on their premises and is always fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and knowledgable about their food. Don't be surprised if the owner is behind the counter helping customers. Their samosas are the best I've had and I have tried samosas from all over the country. Some of our favorite things are the Dhokla, always fluffy and delicious. I like them with their tamarind. The Dal Vada are fried to perfection with a nice bite. I enjoy it with Tamarind to give it a spicy sweet flavor. The Khandvi is fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant either for eat in or take out.
(4)Jon S.
Friend group with competing food restrictions will love Rajbhog, the vegan, Jain and Kosher friendly spot in Jackson Heights. The name advertises sweets, but it's the savory dishes that steal the show here. Thalis (non-refillable) are available for around $5, which include two veg main courses and either a roti and rice. I went for the roti (reheated in a microwave before serving, which tends to make the bread a bit too damp) and eggplant and bean dishes. Everything comes in Earth-unfriendly styrofoam dishes, arriving in a bit of a pell-mell fashion. The menu shifts around daily, so try to stop in more than once. If you don't live in the neighborhood, this can be a long way to trouble for pretty simple dishes, but the friendly staff and very friendly prices make it a nice general Indian option.
(4)Sonia N.
This has to be the best indian food in all of queens!! If you want to try indian food just go to Rajbhog !! Plus so many different dishes that were vegan!!!
(5)M N.
Delicious papri chaat. Love going here in the summer! They also have a samosa sandwich which is amusing and probably not authentic Indian food but is still yummy. Their lassis are good. We have had various dishes from here and always have a good time.
(4)Divya A.
Delicious chaats, sweets, and good chai. Places like this are what I miss most about spending childhood summers in India-the comforts of good samosa chaat, tender rasmalai, and homey chai. The portions are generous too, almost meal size, and they don't skimp on anything.
(5)Mehwish K.
I cant believe I haven't written a review for them before. I used to go to this place so much as an undergrad. So, this time we got samosa chat and kachori chat. The samosa chat was hot and pretty good on a cold day. The kachori chat was cold but good But here where things got a little annoying. I was checking in and noticed yelps offer and I showed the woman there and asked her if I could use it. She didn't seem to understand the deal and I explained it to her and asked again if I could use it. So I buy it and show it to her and she goes waiiiit before tax its 12$ I just stared at her 1. ur charging me 4.29$ tax? 2. I asked u twice! I told her I refused to pay more than 1.29 and she gave in after some glaring.
(4)Mridesh K.
One of the better places in Jackson heights for sweets and small snacks. The price is reasonable as well.
(4)Eva P.
We stopped in to bring our family out East on LI some Queens Indian Realness. The man behind the counter was super friendly, and he got us to taste EVERYTHING in order to help us decide what to bring. The flavors were complex, and the dishes unique. I even liked the okra, and I hate okra. Everyone was thrilled and we can't wait to go back so that we can have it all to ourselves next time.
(5)Marina C.
I tried their lunch deal a couple of months ago. I really disliked how they reheat the food in Styrofoam bowls. The food was still room temperature by the time it was served. The food tasted okay, but we did get sick later that evening. That's what we get for food reheated in the microwave for a few seconds. I'd rather eat at Raja Sweets which doesn't appear to be as clean, but at least none of us got sick and the food was HOT! The mango lassi was pretty tasty but it came in such a small cup. I would've need at least 3-4 of them.
(3)Steffi J.
May I just say that the service I had here was extremely awesome. Very memorable experience indeed. My friend was craving Indian food so we settled on this one because it had a very reasonably priced menu and seemed the least stuffy/most clean. We're both Chinese AKA no idea what anything on the menu is, but the man behind the counter was so nice in greeting us and kindly explained everything we didn't understand (also...spoke perfect English so fear not!!). We ordered a small platter with two curries (yogurt with dumplings and bell peppers), roti, prata, mango lassi and a plain dosa which also comes with curry. The man behind the counter insist that we should get the masala dosa because it has a filling and will be more delicious, but we still decided not to get it. We sit down, and the food comes shortly after. Everything was alright, but then we start eating the dosa the magical part happens...we get to the middle of our dosa and...there's potatoes in it??? My friend and I were so confused, when the man behind the counter tells us he told them to make the masala dosa for us anyway just for us to experience it. Super niccceeeeeee!!! It was already really good but I think that made it even better.We were so satisfied even after we left that we came back later in the day to get some sweets, and we still got awesome customer service even though it was busier. Overall, the food was alright. The microwaving does throw some shade but it didn't really bother us. The curries tasted very similar, but their flavor wasn't bad, and the breads were a good texture. The dosa though...that was love. I really appreciated the service I got here and I'd definitely come back again.
(4)M C.
I just moved into the neighborhood for 4 days, and I already have been here twice. Foods great, super cheap, and a huge range if sweets. Only reason I have 4 instead of 5 stars is cause the people who work there really aren't the friendliest, maybe they don't speak English, but they could def try harder.
(4)Steven K.
Perfect for what it is. A small snack and sweet shop. The $4.99 for two curries and rice or bread is the perfect little meal. I had saag paneer and another yellow curry made with chickpea flour dumplings yogurt and onions. The complimentary small plate of spiced fresh onions added a nice punch to an already well seasoned dish. The mango lassi was one of the best I've had. You can taste bits of cardamom freshly ground into it. A very satisfying and not too sweet end to a meal notable for it's simplicity and flavor. Come in for that casual quick snack next time you're in JH and you won't be disappointed. Been walking by this place for a long time. Happy to have stopped in.
(5)Chelsea S.
Food was mediocre. Service though is what really gives this place one star. We ordered a bunch of different foods and got some of it but then we were just forgotten about. We asked for our missing items (since we had already paid) and still it was not brought out. Between my husband and I, one of us is indian and the other is not. It was clear the indian families got preferential treatment and we were definitely being shunned on purpose. It was abundantly obvious we weren't wanted there. The Pakistani place around the corner was much nicer.
(1)Ruby F.
They guy behind the counter here was super nice and helpful with our selection of desserts (there are so many flavors). These would make a great little gift for someone. I recommend!
(4)Sajji L.
Fantastic quality sweets--best gulab jamun I've had, hands down. It's easy to make this dish far too cloying and disappointing, or to fry the dough balls to an uncomfortable dryness, but Rajbhog did not disappoint. I bought literally $80 worth of sweets for my office here, and almost every last piece was gone. The staff were so kind in letting me taste an obnoxious amount of the food before I bought it. My colleagues all demanded the name of the location, and several have been since. Two thumbs up.
(5)Sama A.
I have tried this place a number of times for chaat. But this time i thought of eating lunch there! I brought a living social and went there. I ordered a lot of food and lassi. To my surprise lassi was all curdled in the plastic glass and smelled rotten.. I immediately asked the lady behind the counter to check, to which she told me that it has become bad.. So people always smell the food they serve!! Food was bad!! 2 stars for chaats!!
(2)Aashiq T.
This gets a 5-star Indian bias, since I am half Indian. First of all Jackson Heights is just a cool area. I grew up in L.A. and have fond memories of driving out to Cerritos with my dad to get Dosa in Artesia, an Indian neighborhood far from my house. Dosa is kind of hard to find, its not the typical Indian food that sells on an American market, so you typically have to go to an Indian neighborhood to get it. An Indian friend of mine suggested we get Dosa. We were also very far from Jackson Heights. After a really long trek and a lot of walking around the neighborhood to find it, we got our Dosa and it was AWESOME. And, just like home, the Dosa made the long journey to get it totally worth it.
(5)Cassandra B.
I think this might be my new favorite Indian restaurant! Not only were the prices very affordable and the service VERY friendly, I loved that they offered East Indian food, which I had apparently never had before. I've been to quite a few Indian restaurants around the city (and elsewhere), including "Curry Lane" in the village and "Curry Hill" (Murray Hill), but they all seem to serve pretty much the same thing. The guy working at Rajbhog when I visited (the owner, perhaps?) told me they specialize in East Indian fare, which is much harder to come by and he said that a number of their dishes are not served anywhere else in the city. The guy recommended a number of items for me to try and even gave me a couple free samples of the items I didn't try. My absolute favorite was the patra, which was colocacia leaves, wrapped with Indian spices. It tasted like nothing I've ever had before and it was fantastic. The spicy veggie rice was good, as were the chickpeas, although the chickpeas tasted like pretty much every other order of chickpeas I've ever had. The dhokla was also interesting and is apparently one of their best sellers. It is a savory dough/bread made from chickpea flour but I'm not sure if it's actually gluten-free. Another chickpea dough item I had was this sort of chickpea pasta roll-up, that the guy says is popular. It had a good flavor but I would likely only get it if there were some sort of sauce on it. My lunch combo of rice and two sides (chickpeas and patra) was only $4.50, which was a steal! I also got a to-go container of patra for only $5. For dessert, I tried two of the cashew-based treats, one with coconut and pistachios and one with chopped nuts and rose petals. Considering that virtually every Indian restaurant uses milk and ghee (clarified butter) in their desserts, I was very happy that this place made a point of offering a few vegan options, which they kept separate from the non-vegan kinds as to not confuse them. While these vegan ones looked and tasted like the non-vegan ones I remember having years ago, I didn't particularly care for them. I think they were well-made, I just find Indian sweets to be hyper sweet and off-putting with their generous helpings of artificial food coloring (pistachios = neon green!). Next time I go, I'll just skip the sweets in favor of an extra order of patra or a samosa. :)
(4)Manasree P.
This sweet shop made my quest to satiate my sweet tooth such a sweet experience in all sense. Not only are the sweets fresh made and delectable , people who works there are really, really sweet!! Was such a pleasant experience after visiting other sweet shops in the area. This is going to be my go-to place for Indian sweet cravings from now on !
(4)Jen M.
Favorite chaat stop in JHts. I recommend the samosa chaat, the chili baji, the mango lassi and the chai tea. All are great here. The owners have been making an effort also to have vegan options and healthier versions, though I don't deviate from the standard recipes. The chaat is drenched in chutneys and yogurt and never fails to impress visitors. It's also a great thing for people who don't know or like Indian food too much. No one can resist the chaat.
(4)Crystal W.
Visited Rajbhog on a rainy weeknight a few weeks back, so there were plenty of tables for us to enjoy our food. Strangely enough, despite the relatively calm setting the service was a bit on the slow side, as it felt like the woman behind the cashier was deliberately moving like molasses just because she could. It didn't help that I was starving, I suppose, and maybe she was just having a bad day. Everything is from the steam-table and there's a wide variety of desserts, but it's a bit worrisome how they just pop all the styrofoam in the microwave. The food is also quite heavy on mustard seeds, but overall pretty delicious and a great value for the platter. The chai is delicious and a great accompaniment to your meal.
(3)Gekaeigh K.
First off, this place is definitely great food for the money. I was stuffed, with way more food than I could eat, for $10. But, price aside, a few things: All of the dishes are served in sytrofoam or paper plates/bowls, with plastic utensils, and the waste definitely piled up by the end of our meal. Most things are heated up in the microwave, which didn't seem to affect the taste, but wasn't the greatest thing to think about. My boyfriend & I are both vegans and were excited to see that most of the vegetable dishes were vegan. But, none of the sweets are made with dairy and the counter guy told us that "we wouldn't get the full experience" of any of the chaats without yogurt. The dish with wrapped Taro leaves was SO GOOD. Everything else was tasty but not awesome. It wasn't the best Dosa or Chaat I've ever had, but I definitely enjoyed it. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the neighborhood. I biked up there from Brooklyn and definitely enjoyed the experience. There's also a crazy cheap grocery store is right across the street where you can buy chutneys, huge bags of nuts & dried fruit, and dirt cheap produce.
(4)Elizabeth M.
I'm not sure that I have ever loved food as much as I did the first moment I tasted Rajbhog Sweets' papri chaat. It is a perfect blend of spicy, sweet and tangy, and the papri is light and crispy. Additionally, I love that each time I go to this restaurant there are new sweets to try. The manager of Rajbhog Sweets is SO friendly. He is happy to answer any questions, and has more than once offered a free sample for me and my friends. Once, I brought a Russian friend who had never eaten Indian food before. When he discovered the food was too spicy for him, the manager ran to the back and gave him a free glass of milk - and then brought him a free dessert!
(5)Kevin L.
Came here on a sunday afternoon, half the restaurant/cafe is counterspace where they have an assortment of indian treats and a cooking station. Indian pastries looked fresh, service was prompt with a smile, they sell by the pound, or $1 a piece. .They are willing to sell half pound boxes of treats. So you can choose a bunch of different indian pastries and buy that way. Most of the treats are made with nuts, chickpeas, and sugar, so if you're allergic, stay clear. but if you have a desire for some authentic indian treats, this is a fine place for a quick indian snack or dessert.
(4)Taz H.
I was really excited because of the raving reviews but their chaat was ok. Nothing special and the sauces came COLD, like too cold. The crispy balls of the pani puri was old. Their Kachori chaat had good flavors but was a bit too cold and small serving size. Prices comparable to the rest of the place...maybe it was too early (noon) but not amazing.
(3)Brian C.
What the heck is it that my friend had me order here?! Chum chums? My girl and I are pretty tolerant with food, and believe me when I say she LOVES desserts (she loves desserts), but this was just something beyond the comfort of our palates. We bought a few thinking the different colored chum chums would taste different, but they were all the same. I can't affirmatively say they're not good because we just didn't like chum chums in general, but this was not an ideal intro to Indian sweets! We'll return for the food, but the desserts are off our map for now.
(2)Polly H.
I would say that the samosa chat here was amazing. I must have finished it in 5 minutes. There was a slow spicy burn that kicks in a minute later. I also liked my dosa. Now, I do not have to travel all the way to Staten Island for yummy dosa. Not too oily, and at the same time, it was crispy. I found the mango and regular sweet lassi very sweet and delicious. If I found myself here in this neighborhood, I would come back surely. :) They had Bollywood tunes and music videos for us. Another awesome thing is that the meals are vegan/vegetarian/Kosher/Jain.
(5)Mary Z.
This place just keeps getting better and better. Thank you Rajbhog---your Mysore masala dosa and dhokla just impressed a bombshell from Bangalore whom I'm lucky to call my friend. And they impressed me yet again, though I'm easy to please:)! Those dosai, the sambar, coconut chutney, and my moong dal really warmed up a frigid MLK night for us.
(5)Gen M.
I really wanted to like this place. Service isn't always attentive. Most of the good stuff is gone by the afternoon, and you're left with the scraped bottoms of refrigerated pans. I really dislike that they not only reheat their dishes in the microwave, but worse, in strofoam bowls/plates, which is unhealthy and quite wasteful. Sorry, Rajbhog, I now go next door to Raja Sweets.
(2)Yon V.
Rahjbog I wanted to like you.... But I really had a "not so great experience here." I went very excited because I saw a tv special featuring them. Bought the Yelp deal before I went. First thing I notice is none of the food is made fresh to order... ok.... then it is also reheated and served in styrofoam bowls in microwave.... ok..... sweets looked good, food, hmmmm... ok looking.... Here is where the trouble started: essentially problem is noone working spoke English... so communicating about what to order/ etc. was *very* difficult.... add to fact I am gluten-free,. even harder... also turns out noone working out front understood what was in the dishes... "no this has no flour.... I mean yes it has corn flour.... Regular white flour? yes it has that..." all for the same dish... keep in mind I ordered the dish being told it had no flour... then it changed to corn... then regular white flour... I felt bad bc one enthusiastic employee was genuinely trying to help me... And it was a communication disaster... Meanwhile, Another staff member acted like they had no idea what the Yelp deal was... which was weird to me... Then I come on Yelp and see other reviews where people presented the Yelp deal and had same experience... frustrating.... Overall it was stressful...
(1)Jane R.
This is best vegetarian Indian restaurant in Jackson Heights. I had Patra, Rotis, cabbage and bury biryani Rice we great. I have been eating here for is a few years the food is always good.
(5)Angela K.
I NEED to come back to this place to try the vegetarian dishes, therefore I will give them a mid-range rating. An Indian friend that lives nearby recommended that my boyfriend and I come here for dessert after dinner! Being a sweet-o-holic I had no problem obliging. He recommended the chum chums? as a traditional indian sweet, so of course I ordered a plate with one of every color. BLEH... I have no other context to what chum chums are supposed to taste like but these were just straight weird and nasty! I'm sorry if I'm being incredibily offensive to indian culture! I LOVE indian food, I LOVE lassi's, I LOVE indian weddings, I LOVE indian fabrics & jewelry and I even like the odd little dessert ball they give you at the end of some meals (which are kind of similar to chum chums).. but these I just could not stomach. Every color tasted the same (I tried, I really tried them ALL and really tried to understand the appeal). They are basically grainy spongey puffs soaked in an odd tasting watery simple syrup. yuck yuck yuck. I needed another mango lassi ASAP to wash the grainy residue from my mouth!
(3)Sameepa S.
So not the best Indian savoury place in Jackson Heights. Didn't enjoy the chaat here or the service. You can do better.
(3)Jimmy G.
This restaurant serves delicious vegetarian Gujarati food. This in fact may be the only Gujarati restaurant left in what was once an overwhelmingly Gujarati neighborhood. The place is located in a quiet corner of Jax Heights. Its small eatery but very clean and brightly lit. The dishes all taste amazing and are made with quality ingredients. The service is awesome. The guy from behind the counter came up front to ask me if I was happy with my food. I love the mango lassi here which is sweet but also a bit salty (the way a lassi is supposed to be). I always opt for the $5 lunch which includes 2 dishes and 2 rotis. My only complaint is that they heat the dishes is Styrofoam bowls which is not that healthy.
(5)Akshay S.
Great spot for quick stopovers for snacking! I usually drop by this place to get great sweets and snacks when getting groceries in the area. I highly recommend the lassi, samosas, dal kachori, and some of the sweets. Everything is freshly made and tastes delicious. I have been having their goods for over 10 yrs and haven't had any complaints. The prices are moderate and the service is excellent. I haven't tried their meal dishes, but definitely recommend the quick snacks and sweets.
(5)Francisco C.
I am just moved back to the neighborhood and we happen to live next to Rajbhog. The place does look plain like a typical fastfood restaurant. It small. The services good. Since I am new to the Indian cuisine, I did not know the names of most dishes. So we both order different dishes. The food was great. I tried 6 dished and they were all good. Now to the best part their desserts, just close your eye and point to anything. Everything is great! I hated the styrofoam plates! The services is good and friendly! The food is gooood and the desserts are amazing!
(4)Harry H.
Walked in to pandemonium of not-yet-picked-up Diwali orders due to the Sandy aftermath and a very apologetic host (assume he was the owner). Ordered up a mango lassi (superb) and samosa chaat (enjoyed it more than I expected to but must be lacking the discerning Indian palate to consider it tops like most predecessors). The guy offered to clean off some tables so I could dine in but couldn't possibly oblige; really friendly fellow and a nice lil' establishment. (Bypassed the Yelp deal for here due to the conditions.)
(4)cory b.
Kind of a dump, but the dosas were decent. The sweets were very hit or miss - some were ravishingly delicious, and others got tossed out.
(3)Sarah F.
I've been to this place on a few occasions and have been pleased each time. Most recently, I arrived with 8 international students on a field trip. Even though we arrived unannounced, the owner was very helpful and accommodating to our group. He worked with me to quickly come up with a options for our group that didn't exceed what we anticipated spending, but allowed everyone to try a variety of different items (chaat, dosa, and gulabjamun). All in all, the service is great! As for the food, I love the chaat here! It's not always the easiest thing to find and I really find it quite good here. It has the same flavors I remember from the chaat I've had in Pune. While visiting with the students, we had dosas and gulab jamun as well, which were also quite delicious. I'm already scheming up my next excuse to visit Rajbhog!
(5)Tracy L.
Being recently schooled on the different types of Indian food here in Jackson Heights, I would first like to mention that Rajbhog Sweets is completely vegetarian, and, for the most part vegan. Though I'm not either, I think it's beneficial to know for those who follow these diets, and yet I don't think it's at all clear from the outside of the restaurant. The food at Rajbhog is delicious and freshly made. Over the past few years, I have fallen in love with "patra," a dish made with colocea leaves, wrapped around a mixture of gentle spices & chickpea flour. I learned from the owner, Nirav, that Rajbhog is the only Indian restaurant around that offers this dish, amongst many others. Nirav is not only courteous and helpful, but he shows such genuine enthusiasm for his dishes, and his happy to talk ingredients and preparation with you if you have any questions. Another dish that I have discovered and love are the chats. Nirav encouraged me to try it in spite of the fact that I had already tried one in another restaurant and hadn't liked it. It is delicious and I always find myself scooping up every last drop of the tangy sauces! Finally, the small restaurant is always clean, and there are always romantic Indian videos playing softly on the flat screen above...love it! Always a healthy, relaxing experience!
(5)Toni C.
The food tastes great. I have eaten a few wonderful dishes that I have not seen in the decades I have been eating this cuisine. The staff is very helpful and friendly. This is super casual. Disposable plates etc. I keep coming back even though I think they use a microwave to heat up. I love this restaurant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Everyone who I have introduced to this place loves it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!These are many vegetarian selections among there offerings!!!!!!!!!!!

Dropped by and got a .. I believe it was phari but I don't see it on the online menu but it was the first chaat on the menu... phari chaat to go. Nice little place, looked clean enough. Walls had a lot of snacks with Rajbhong on it, including a box of cookies for $1.99 and a box of crackers that were recommended by Serious Eats for $4.50. People were pretty rude behind the counter, honestly. Oh well, I won't hold it against them since I just got take out. The chaat was OK. It was frozen, which I didn't expect, so I heated it up and dug in. First bites were meh, mostly potato, but the edges had something that tasted a lot like samosa or some sort of pastry and that was delish. I preferred Maharaja across the street but this place is nice, too. I'll be back to try some of their sweets and some dosas.

I thought I'd found the best samosa chaat joint in town. Then I stopped in here... So good - fresh ingredients. And the mango lassi was just as fresh - even had whole cardamon seeds inside for that extra kick. Out of the way so the train isn't dripping on your face. Nice little corner of Jackson Heights to get a snack or some sweets. This place has been around for a long time, as I found out in speaking with the owner. He actually stopped around and asked everyone about their food. That's a really GOOD sign.

Rajbhog has really really amazing chaat. I highly recommend that the samosa chaat. The flavors of the chutneys and the perfectly crisped samosas and incredible. If you haven't had chaat, it's basically Indian street food and is served in movie theatres instead of popcorn. And they are on to something, because if our movie theatres here served chaat I would weigh a million pounds and see every movie that comes out. Anytime I'm in Jackson Heights and need to use the restroom I always swing by Rajbhog and pick up a masala chai to go. The chai is much better than the stuff you can get at Starbucks or any other coffee chain. My other favorite thing abut Rajbhog is the fact that they are always playing music videos on the flatscreen tv inside. I love bollywood and the songs and dancing and videos are so amazing. Definitely swing by if you are in the neighborhood!

No complaints at all about this place. Our final bill came out to about $38 (~$9.50 a person), and we couldn't even finish all of it. Extremely good bang for the ol' buck. Our group of four walked in not knowing what to expect. It's a very unassuming, narrow kind of place -- almost like some token NYC coffee/bagel place went out of business, and this place went in. Regardless, the decor wasn't gross or cheesy. Very clean, tidy and welcoming. There was too much to choose from behind a glass case and all of it looked amazing (and yes, it was). Thankfully, the guy helping us from behind the counter was incredibly nice and patient. We pointed, he pronounced it, and walked us through all of the dishes, including a few of his favorites. He even gave us a bunch of tastings. Go for the 2-item platter ($6.99) and ask for their recommendations/favorites. If you're in a group, I'd also grab a samosa or two and some of their cornucopia of pakoras. Oh, and you must get a mango lassi. It's a bit pricey at $3.00, but no ifs, ands, or buts.

Crucial takeaway: This is one of the best Indian restaurants in NYC in terms of the quality of the food. And don't let the name fool you--there's much more than sweets here! OK, now that that is out of the way, I can get on with the review. First, I should say that I have enjoyed the cuisine of the Indian diaspora for nearly three decades now--from Dar es Salaam and Nairobi to London, Amsterdam, Toronto, and Chicago. Not to mention many other places betwixt and between, like Lexington, KY and Puebla, Mexico. This is all to say that I take my Indian food very seriously. And as a resident of Jackson Heights, I have eaten at every Indian restaurant in the hood more than once. Some of my favorites include Dosa Delight, Al-Naimat, and Thakali Kitchen (Nepalese). However, I would have to say that just based on the quality of food alone, Rajbhog Sweets is my favorite among the Jackson Heights offerings. If you are coming to Jackson Heights looking for a white tablecloth experience, or you have a long list of precious food restrictions that can only be communicated in latinate medical terminology, this might not be the place for you. But if you want lovingly prepared and supremely delicious Indian food, you will be in for a treat. Yes the food is a la carte, yes it is reheated in a microwave, and yes it is served on styrofoam. But it is easy to forget these things when the food is in front of you, so get over it right now! Foodies need to focus on the food, not on how they failed to communicate their gluten restrictions or couldn't use their Yelp coupons. This place is cheap--leave your stupid Yelp coupons at home! These people have families to support. Anyway, there is much to dive into at Rajbhog. If you go with two people, I recommend one person order a mixed platter and the other a dosa, and then share it all. The mixed platter comes with 2 or 3 dishes and bread (puri or paratha). The simple rice biryani is subtle and aromatic, and the vegetable dishes are velvety and spicy--try the aloo matar, okra curry, or chana masala. Sometimes there are also lovely South Indian specialities, like colocacia leaves or bitter melon. As for dosas, barring the Hindu temple in Flushing, Rajbhog has the best dosas I've tasted in NYC--a crisp, buttery, and sour pancake wrapped around a mustard-seed laden potato sabji with coconut chutney and a limey sambar on the side. And while they do not have the wide range of snacks of, say, Maharaja Sweets or Raja Fast Food, their papri chat, samosa chats, and dahi poori are all superb (they use black chickpeas, which are much tastier). So give it a try, embrace the styrofoam and metal tables, and focus on the food. You will be rewarded for it.

I love this place! I eat Indian Cuisine at least 3 times per week at Om Indian Restaurant on the Upper East Side and asked where I could find the very best sweets and was instructed to visit Rajbhog in Jackson Heights immediately. I was greeted by wonderful staff and even a TV playing the latest music videos from upcoming Bollywood films. I had a kachori chaat, a mango lassi, ladoo, and masala chai. I absolutely loved it! I have been back several times and each time the staff has recommended new dishes and sweets for me to try. I will be back very soon!
(4)Adrienne R.
Rajbhog is one of the only real Indian restaurants left in Jackson Heights. Most of the other "Indian" restaurants are actually Bengali and their food is a pretty poor representation of what Indian food should be. The food at Rajbhog tastes just like the food I had in India and everything was fresh - NOT sitting around for hours on end. It was a relief to walk into an Indian restaurant and eat food that wasn't drowning in oil and chili peppers. The flavor from the delicious food served at Rajbhog comes from the quality of the food itself. My only complaint about Rajbhog is that they haven't opened a restaurant in Astoria. Either way, the trip to Rajbhog in Jackson Heights is well worth it.
(5)Rakshita K.
My parents had been taking me to this place ever since I was 9 years old. It has changed significantly since then (it's much much smaller, it used to be so big--unless of course that's because everything was wider/bigger seeming when I was a child). It's one of the only indian places remaining that has been around in Jackson Heights for over 20 years. All vegetarian, lots of options, lots of gujurati food. It has always been my favorite establishment in Jackson Heights and I find myself there for some pani puri (it's street food, where you crack open a little round ball, add some potatoes and chickpeas, fill it up with the pani puri water, and stick the whole ball in your mouth--mmm really refreshing!!) whenever I am in the area.
(5)Vas S.
I grew up eating the best homemade South Indian food. My mom's cooking was renowned. The food here was decent, and a good deal. pooris: 3 star. tasted good but not as light as they should be. dahl: 2 stars. Lacked dahl flavor goodness. vegie biryani: 2 stars. It was hardly biryani. really yellow rice with some veggies. The other vegetable dish I cannot name: 4 stars. Spicy and tasted great with the poories. I'll have to come back for the chaat, dosa and idlis. From the other reviews the chaat is their strong suit.
(3)Asta S.
$1 for kulfi! Ridiculously good and inexpensive. Will be back again.
(3)breanne k.
always on the hunt for delicious chaat and dosa i read through the reviews and my boyfriend and i ventured to this place. unfortunately. we ordered the papdi chaat and bhel puri. it seemed promising. the portions were huge. and there were plenty of others enjoying their snacks. but upon first bite i felt utter disappointment. its hard to describe the problem. there were weird flavors that didnt belong. these are our two favorites so we eat them a lot. and it just wasnt right. sadly, we went elsewhere to eat. iselin and hicksville remain the spots for these treats if you want the best.
(1)Brad P.
After my second time, I only love Indian food more now. The owner Nirav took great care in serving me what he called the "Samosa Chat." The meal itself was delicious (although a little spicy for me, but still awesome). Definitely going back and HIGHLY RECOMMEND for others to try it out. Deserves 5 stars!
(5)Ravi J.
Rajbhog is more than meets the eye. Sure it functions as a sweets shop, with its colorful array of Indian fudge-like barfis and funnel-cake-clone jalebis. For its sweets alone it merits 5 stars. (fair disclosure: Rajbhog provided the sweets for both my and my sister's Indian weddings; my bias here leans towards the positive side). But what most people don't realize is that it has a killer savory menu. The dosas hold their own to the Queens cult-hit Ganesh canteen in Flushing and Dosa Place around the corner in Jackson Heights. The chaat menu (sweet-sour Indian snacks) have won taste comparisons run by several notable blogs; highlighted selections being Rajbhog's version of dahi puri, a hollowed-out puffed cracker filled with delicious bits of black chickpeas, potato, tangy tamarind chutney and spicy cilantro chutney, and samosa chaat, an open face fried samosa layered in rich sauces and crunchy add-ons. The super secret weapon, in my opinion, is Rajbhog's $4.99 lunch special. This meal gets the adventurous eater 2 vegetarian dishes of the day and rice or roti. The vegetarian dishes range from crowd pleasing classics, like slow cooked cauliflower (gobi) or spicy lentils (dal), to the more obscure and delicious regional dishes, such as fried rolls of taro leaves (patra) or lentil cakes soaked in yogurt (dahi vada). All of the dishes du jour are made on spot; super fresh and authentic.
(5)Fiona T.
I love this place. As a non-Indian, I am not an authority on Indian food, but I have eaten a lot of Indian and Benjali food since I've lived in Jackson Heights! I think the platters here are the best deal around. You choose from whatever vegetarian dishes are featured on their steamtable and can also get rice and/or bread. Everything I've tried is good, and if you aren't sure what something is, the staff will explain it to you. I particularly love the padra (or patra?) which seems to be only served at night. The chaats are also excellent. I've enjoyed the sweets I've had, but I normally come for the main dishes and the Bollywood videos, which are playing on a TV.
(5)Craig E.
Rajbhog Sweets has delicious Indian food---and purely vegetarian. Don't let the small storefront fool you: other places are bigger, but Indian food doesn't get any better than this in New York.
(5)Liam M.
Rajbhog has yummy sweets and terrific Indian food! I frequent this clean and friendly restaurant every chance I get! The staff is also very helpful to tourists.
(5)Jimmy T.
Went here this weekend. Came especially for the Chaat. This place is good value for the price. We got a chaat to split and it was a huge portion for 4.99. The whole thing became a giant soupy mess very soon. It was sweet and tangy and sour all at the same time. Generally delicious, though I prefer my chaat less soupy with more chickpeas. Also most of the pastry type items (ie samosas etc) seem to be sitting around. They heat them in a microwave which sort of kills it for me. You can find better samosas around the corner. oh and I got a rose yogurt drink that was tasty.
(3)Anshika M.
I brought my non-desi friends here to try some Indian chat pakori. And it was a hit. They loved the food, service was great and what I like the best is that food is fresh. Not canned and tastes Indian, full of true Indian flavors.
(5)Sneha M.
Pretty decent authentic-tasting chaat - although I absolutely dislike going to the Jackson Heights area in general, I was in the mood for some chaat and decided to give this place a try. This restaurant is like a little quiet enclave in the middle of the hustle and bustle that is always Jackson Heights. It was great walking into this un-crowded small establishment. In my over excitement, I went up to the counter and ordered 4 different dishes all at once. The guy behind the counter looked at us and said "4 items? for 2 people? are you sure?" and gave me this "you are crazy if you think you can eat that much" look. Thoroughly insulted that my appetite was being questioned I, of course, proceeded to defend myself...but I quickly realized that it's not too often that a vendor dissuades you from your overzealous attempt at helping him make more money. So I figured he had to be wise - and settled at 3 dishes instead of 4. The guy behind the counter was super friendly at helping me narrow down from 4 to 3, and offered suggestions on what he thought were his best items - great service! We ate the Dahi Bhalla / Dahi Papri chaat + Pani Poori + Samosa Chaat. Samosa chaat I wasn't too thrilled about but the other two were perfect to satisfy my chaat craving :-) Yay! Finished it off with a masala chai, which didn't taste stale as they normally do in other Indian restaurants! So, all in all - worth the trip if you are really craving chaat. No restaurant in Manhattan serves quick and dirty chaat - so unfortunately, for now, the busy-ness that is Jackson Heights will have to do for me :-(
(4)Courtney L.
I have spent the whole summer going on chaat adventures, trying papri chaat all over the city. This place might be my favorite so far. It uses mung beans instead of chick peas, but other than that it's pretty standard. They get the proportions right, which is the biggest problem I've had at other places, and it's a filling meal for $5. The mango lassis are delicious and flavorful. The lilva kachori has a great spicy/sweet flavor. I really want to go back and just order one of everything because it all looks great. Definitely worth the trip out there!
(5)Puja L.
Service was great - really friendly and helpful. He let my friend try some khandvi before buying it because I wasn't sure if she would like it enough to split a plate with me. Food was generally pretty tasty here, and I love being able to get Indian street food without worrying about contracting Hep A. Still, it was the service that would keep me coming back (provided it stays as good as it was this time)
(4)Joey V.
This is where I go when I'm looking for the real deal Gujarati vegetarian taste
(5)Alan W.
I live in Jackson Heights, and while there's obviously a lot of great Indian food here, there's nothing quite like Rajbhog. They may call it Rajbhog Sweets, but for me, it's all about the vegetable dishes, which are delicious, fantastic value (at least if you get them in a lunch or dinner platter -- a small size is something like $4.50), and -- since many (and maybe even all -- I'm not sure) are cooked in vegetable oils -- nutritious, too. The chai, by the way, is the best I've had in the neighborhood -- and is only a buck. I feel lucky to live so close by.
(5)Jeremy H.
Absolutely fantastic. A total standout in a neighborhood with no shortage of fantastic Indian food. The staff is unbelievably friendly, and willing to help you pick (and understand) your food. The owner of the shop sat with me for 20 minutes, answering my every question about the dish i was eating, how he makes it, how I could make it (or something similar), the history of the store/neighborhood, and just about anything else I could think of. Mango Lassi is literally the best I've had in my whole life, they use some aromatics in addition to the standard yogurt and mango. I had Samosa Chaat when I was last there, and it was really tasty, and just the right level of spice. Afterwards, the owner gave me a free bit of dessert, which he picked out for me (I don't know a whole lot about Indian dessert). It was a sweet rectangle of milk-solids, or something similar. Totally delicious. Afterwards, the owner helped me pick out an assortment of vegan desserts for my girlfriend. Overall, a refreshingly friendly experience, and really delicious. I would recommend it.
(5)Maya R.
delicious vegetarian food; so happy to have found this place! amazing lunch special too. i definitely recommend the lentil dal, and the mango ladoo. The staff is also really friendly and helpful, and the location is super convenient.
(4)Nate R.
The chaat here is excellent. I almost always get papri chaat, but the somosa chaat, bhel poori, and pani poori are also superb. The sweets are also remarkably fresh and good. And it is flat-out inexpensive. Go and enjoy.
(5)Steve W.
A fantastic little spot to get a respectable, affordable, and all around delicious meal. No muss, no fuss, just awesome & delicious indian food.
(4)Alex B.
Great homey-tasting Vegetarian Indian (no Southern Indian, though). Always feels like I'm walking into my auntie's kitchen when I go there. It's very neighborhoody. Price is great, especially the value-meal-combo thingies. Sweets are fun. Lots of sugary options to choose from. Overall, I love it. Especially because they have Dhoklas (spelling?) which I haven't seen elsewhere in J-Heights. They're these little savory cakes made with lentils and are great to sop up sauce or on their own with some chutney. Yummmerz! They also have the best dals I've tasted in the neighborhood and I love that you have some bread options for the meal combos.
(4)R M.
If you are in the area and want a quick bite, I would highly recommend rajbhog! Their chats are probably the best in the area - go with Dahi Bhalla or Chat Papari (My husband and I don't like their samosa chat for some reason). Also their Dosas are pretty good too..For about 10/15 bucks two people can easily have a meal here..not bad at all! For their buffet food items, I have never tried and probably won't because the taste of a Gujrati food is a lot different than the taste of Punjabi food and being a true Punjabi, I am not willing to take that risk! Their mithais (sweets) are pretty good too, but I prefer Maharaja sweets (right across the street) over rajbhog. Not good for large groups and they don't allow strollers..the space is pretty tight.
(4)Nadia K.
Rajbhog: vegetarian snack food. This place gets an A+ for ambience, which, in this day and age, is like a code word for "if you're a gentrifying yuppie or yuppie-hating hipster (still a gentrifier), you'll love it here." And if you didn't believe me, they also have free wi-fi! Okay, but for some inexplicable reason, this place hasn't been overrun by those types yet. You can get a pretty decent potato samosa and a cup of chai (nothing that holds a candle to Kabab King's chai, of course) and sit undisturbed for a while. The place has never been overly crowded. Once I freaked out cuz a dragonfly flew in there, and I have a little phobia, and a quick sense of community formed as one of the uncles tried to swat it down for me.
(3)Arnab D.
Papri chaat is decent. Sweets are expensive. Buying raj bhog brand kulfi sticks and box desserts are a bit cheaper, but they charge tax on the food where other places include it in their price thus they are a bit more expensive
(3)Lisa B.
My go to place for sweets wrapped in silver....well, honestly my only place! I love their sweets and will gladly make the trek out the JH for the good stuff. While I'm there I usually grab a dosa; theirs are really flavorful and fresh. You can get a lot more variety around the corner at the place that used to be called Dosa Diner, but the quality at Rahjbog blows them away. They have a really great variety of snack foods, all vegeterian and all very fresh. If I venture away from my dosa I will get papri chaat. Don't go here for the ambiance or the service, go for the awesome food and great prices (and the live cricket matches).
(4)Jessie Y.
Wow this place deserves at least 4 stars, as should Dosa Delight around the corner. Seems like these super authentic joints get pummeled unfairly for delivering very authentic food. As non-southasian ordering off a bewildering menu of chaats, the staff was VERY patient in explaining the different options. The Chole Puri on the special menu was fantastic. Chole is chick pea light curry, which was just spicy enough for this mild eater. Puri is deep-fried paratha bread, and it was made perfectly fresh, crispy and doughy at once, and not that oily for deep-fried. The chole portion may look small, but trust me, with chickpeas' high protein content and 2 puris, you'll be satisfied. Prices are very reasonable ($4.99 for mine), and seating area reminds me of a smaller Chipotle. Definitely my go-to spot for chaat and puri from now on. Will try their veg platters next time.
(4)Jamel O.
This is a decent seemingly clean place to sample some Indian treats. You have to be on point and pushy in order to get your stuff. People don't care if you were there first. Nice. The stuff ranges and is generally under $6 and they do take credit cards.
(3)Sasha N.
we went here to pick up indian food and pretend we cooked it... so the pro's are 1. the food is very homey 2. if u know what to order it is delisc the cons are: 1. the food is very homey so if u don't know what to order you're screwed! also i am wierd about indian sweets - mithai (come on we use words like pundit and pyjamas in regular language .. mithai is basically indian dessert) anyway, i like mithai that is cream based (most mithai is creambased) but it needs to not be a wierd milky taste and at rajbhog you can try the mithai before u buy it (a practice in most mithai shops) so go on and give it a try, ask questions and explore and then if you're over at my place, i'll tell you i made it! did i forget to mention! how could i .. the BESt mango lassi ever! and... the frozen food is yum!
(4)Stella D.
i heart them for serving me the best pani poori. actually, theirs was better than the home made (by a gujarati, no less) one that i had. their masala chai is also goooooooooood!
(5)H. W.
Bhel puri chaat ordered not spicy was still really spicy. The wet/dry balance was also on the soggy side. Besides that, it wasn't bad. They have a variety of prepared snack foods on display like samosas and aloo tikki. There's a large selection of colourful indian sweets. They also have packaged snacks on a shelf. Staff seemed helpful if you weren't sure what to have. There's a small sitting area and it felt a bit like a coffee shop.
(3)Asmika D.
For the price, not bad at all. I had the Samosa Chat and that wasn't bad. I'm not too crazy about their Kufis though.
(4)fayza a.
I like to go to Rajbhog when I want to eat Dosas. However, I will go in and order a khasta kachuri instead. I really do like this place, specially in the summer time when the city heat is too much and eating meat won't do. The dahi bara, masala dosas and the kulfis, almond based ice cream, are the best along with the khasta kachuris. They do have a tremendous amount of sweets but I like to go to the Bengali restaurant Alladin across the street and get the sweets from there. they are open till 2 AM which isn't bad. Make sure to get a Thumbs Up, Indian soda, when you are there.
(4)Jack S.
Rajbhog sweets is literally my favorite Indian place in all of New York City next to my temple! Over here, you can get chaats and namkeens or even a full meal. I like to order a combo that they have that is something like "2 Main Dishes, Rice, Dal, Chappati/Poori/Parotha and Pickle," which I think comes out to about $6. When your food is ready, the pickle is very-well-made lemon pickle. Another nice touch is the fact that they sell Limca which reminds me of India. (Honestly, I am missing Limca as I type this) After your meal, make a right turn and there are sweets. In other words, Rajbhog is very much a one stop place. Get you food, get your drinks, get your sweets and at the end, buy some namkeens and chaats to take home. (Also featuring egg-free baked goods!)
(5)GarGuPi L.
3.5 stars. When you venture off 74th Street in Jackson Heights, you will discover other restaurants and stores that you're least expected. the Patel Brothers grocery store has always been my dafault whenever I hop off the subway, but just a block away, there's another big supermarket with the same affordable prices. So next time, I won't be so lazy and shall take a few more steps. Right across this newly found grocery store(well, for me at least) is Rajbhog Sweets. Don't be misled by the name, there's more than sweets inside. There are lots of savory dishes for you to choose from, such as chaat, naan and other Indian appetizers. There is a sitdown area and even a water cooler to cool down the heat from the spices. Just don't treat it like a fire hydrant. That's very thoughtful. I didn't stay and eat, but did took out some appetizers. Don't ask. I forgot the names, but service was great and even though I only spent $2, I still got two sides of condiments (tamarind and this green chili sauce). Prices are affordable, but you have to be competitive in this town that has an eatery literally just inches away from each other.
(3)Shazza J.
pretty good for the price but the service is a little slow and they reheat things using a microwave, so some of our order wasn't fully heated. Sampled a heap of things and it was hit and miss - but for the price I don't mind (most chat items are between $3-$5) definately stick with the samosa chat and the dhokla.
(3)Ken L.
Stopped in for some sweets and free wi-fi. They have the standard gulab jamon, but be sure to try some of the other sweets too -- they have a good variety. Friendly folks, tasty sweets, and the wifi works just fine... what's not to like?
(4)Irene F.
Rajbhog is indeed good stuff, but my 5 stars still go to Al Naimat. Given that, Rajbhog you can find in supermarkets and locales outside of Jackson Heights, which is always a comforting thought considering I don't like in Jackson Heights any more.
(4)Erin P.
this place opened up my world to Indian food outside naan and curry!! I love this place!! Great service and always fresh food!
(5)Nick C.
Whenever I am in Jackson Heights I almost always end up at Rajbhog. There is no other place in the vicinity to get such a good cheap authentic Indian lunch. Rajbhog is no-frills and that is the way I like it. It is definitely good to do some studying beforehand if you're not familiar with Indian food, because asking questions could be difficult. Also, the "line" isn't really functional so you might have to be a little pushy to get your order in, but for me these things are part of the charm and par for the course. The food is excellent- Huge dosai, delicious chaats, and the sweets are killer. If you're unfamiliar with Indian sweets, burfi is a good place to start. Get a masala dosa, a salt lassi, papdi chaat, and some dessert, and you will have a great sampling of everything Rajbhog has to offer.
(4)A W.
I stop by occasionally for their masala tea to go. They have always been really friendly, offer suggestions on various pastries I might try out, and most importantly, they make their tea just the way I like it... not too sweet!
(3)Alice N.
Rajbhog has actually been around for over 30 years. Its a family owned restaurant with local customers and friendly service. Awesome place. The food is great! The Masala Dosa is the best I've had in all of New York so far. The desserts are also amazing. For less than 5 dollars you can walk out with a full stomach.
(5)sara h.
great snacks, kulfis, chaats, etc.
