Reviews The Rasoi

Collected a takeaway last weekend. I always arrive 10mins early for a takeaway collection, but the food was already ready which is disappointing as it means it's been waiting. Poppadom pickle tray was a very small portion for 4 people. The curries too, however there was loads of rice. Food was delicious, but fairly expensive for what you get. Excellent fish options!

Really good food full of flavour and freshly made. Lovely place to eat very olde style of decor. Long time since I have had to sit in a lounge area with a drink and menus, nice as we could talk and decide then taken through for the meal, enjoyed that but had a bit of wait, what with take aways and a large 8 people before us, food worth the wait.

Living down the road, it's taken me a while to visit The Rasoi since its opening a few years ago. After seeing hospitality businesses flop in that location, I couldn't help noticing how there are always cars in the car park and people dining inside every night the restaurant is open. One thing that has always baffled me is the table in the window by the traffic light. On multiple occasions while in my car I couldn't help but look in at the people sat at that table thinking "why on earth would you sit at that table?" because I can't be the only traveller who can't resist the urge of staring in. Nonetheless, last night, my girlfriend and I finally visited. The service was very friendly and helpful; we were first sat on comfy chairs while our table was prepared and we were able to look through the menu at this point. My girlfriend then informed me that when making our reservation on the phone, she had specifically booked the window table, simply because I had gone on about it in the past and when passing. So, after ordering our meals, we were led to the table in the window. The poppadums gave generous portions of pickles and sauces which were all delicious, but an easy mark to hit. Then, the curries arrived. These curries were by far the most delicious meals I've ever had at an Indian restaurant. The Karahi in particular had a place in my dreams last night. The sauces were well balanced and the meat was tender and succulent. The naans were on the smaller side, but very tasty. The one bit of criticism would be that we were either not given the chilli naan we ordered, or the chilli naan wasn't very spicy. All in all it was a brilliant night and I can't wait to see how well they do the other curries on their menu as I now intend to go through them all. I must admit that now I understand why people sit, or don't mind sitting at the window table and that's because you have such a good time with the delicious food inside, you're not paying any attention whatsoever to the drivers staring at you outside.

Ate at 5pm on a Sunday and enjoyed excellent service in a lovely atmosphere. Food really tasty, which was the tandoori chicken starter, tikka in cashew and almond sauce, lamb in pickles sauce.

Absolutely brilliant all round. So glad to have this first class indian on my door step. High standard. Highly recommended.

Love it here, excellent food, service and Staff. Would recommend and will be visiting again soon.

Really good Indian restaurant. Great prices too. The staff are extremely helpful and clearly know their dishes very well, one if the guys was really thorough when describing the chillies he uses and it was great to hear that passion. The ambience is really neat but too formal, there was a family enjoying a birthday party too. They have a private dining area for 8 - 12 people which is great to know. We'll definitely be back.
