Indian Rasoi in Cotswold

Brilliant service, friendly staff and even better food with affordable prices.

Fantastic Indian restaurant in Cirencester. We are new to the area and really fancied a curry and found this place on trip advisor. The reviews were great and we now know why. Will definitely return. 10/10 service and great food.

Highly recommend! Incredible food, wonderful staff, and cozy atmosphere. It was my favorite meal in England! Please stop in to this top-notch restaurant- you won't regret it!

very lovely experience, incredible helpful & nice owner, and food was very delicious. was my first time in the area & also first time having Indian food and it was amazing! 100% recommend

We went on Saturday evening and it was as busy as expected. We were met immediately and taking straight to our table. Unfortunately, the table next to us were all a bit drunk and very loud, so I spoke to Roman to see if he could move us. He was most understanding and accommodating and moved us to a different table. He gave us advice on food choice and was a great host throughout our evening. All the food was great. Decent flavours and lots of choice. Would definitely recommend and return whenever we are in the area again.

My wife and I were holidaying in the Cotswolds, and had not booked anywhere for the evening. Luckily this restaurant found us a table for two and the food and service were excellent. Particularly Alex was most helpful. I chose chicken shashlik and my wife had kastori lamb. Both were made to the highest standards and were delicious. I just wished I lived nearby. Thanks for contributing to our great holiday.

What a wonderful experience this was the best Indian food I have tasted, simply amazing. The owner Roman was so helpful and attentive we went two nights in a row it was that good. We will be back again when we visit Cirencester next time. Thank you to the staff and chef

Amazing place. Good food served by staff who make you feel comfortable.

Never had a bad meal here friendly excellent service completely recommend for either family meals or romantic couples , friends night out and celebrations

Delighted we chose Indian Rasoi to eat in while staying in Cirencester. Extensive menu with lots of different choices away from just the normal options . I had a king prawn dish and it was exceptional . Staff were helpful when we were deciding what to order and then checked that we were happy with our choices Nice white table cloths and relaxed atmosphere despite being a busy Friday Highly recommend

Fantastic quality food. Great service and a lovely atmosphere 👌

I have visited this delightful restaurant many times, although I live in Cirencester. The food and ambience are first class, and the owners truly delightful and they pride themselves on making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. We even received a gift bag during our recent visit, and you can always tell where the lady owner is by the sound of her laugh, it makes for a joyous place. Delightful

Rahin, Jan, and Jumman provided exceptional service. Could not have been more amiable, smiley, friendly and warm. They have a professional but jolly and cheery attitude which puts you at ease and they'll even have a laugh with you. All of the above is very rare to see in any restaurant. Equally rare is to see vegan options in a Bengali or Indian restaurant. They have 4 or 5 main dishes that are specifically listed as vegan! Never have I seen this before. In addition, upon enquiring, I learned that they don't use ghee! So all the vegetable side dishes (that don't have cheese) are vegan as well! I would strongly recommend they make a separate vegan menu with all of these on, or else put (VEGAN) next to the side dishes. Otherwise people won't know! Staff remembered us and took time to talk and get to know us and tell us about them as well. The food is incredible, really wonderful, all the dishes were great. Recommend Rasoi to anyone, ESPECIALLY vegans who will feel welcomed by the menu options. (I suggest that the chef adds a vegan dessert, we didn't fancy a dessert today - but if we had, I would have had nothing to choose.)

We visited 3 times this Christmas🙈 Food great, service great, lovely friendly staff! It's a winner! Even got a little Christmas gift 🎁

Very friendly and attentive staff. Food excellent. Highly recommended.

My sister and I got our families together in town with a last minute addition of food to the plan. From the moment we turned up we were made welcome and the team were fantastic throughout. Each dish was freshly made and tasted fantastic, children and adults alike cleared their plates. The quality and deliciousness of the food was matched only by the awesomeness of the staff waiting on us. Thanks to all and we can’t wait to dine with you again soon. Happy New Year 🥳 Regards Mark

We had a takeaway. Absolutely amazing food. Next time I visit, I will be dining in.

Yesterday at the 'Indian Rasoi' Cirencester was nothing short of spectacular! The entire staff went above and beyond to make our Christmas day truly memorable. From the moment we stepped in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere set the perfect tone for the celebration. The exceptional service from the staff added an extra layer of joy to our experience. The food was not only brilliant but also exceeded our expectations – each dish was a delightful fusion of flavours and textures that showcased the culinary expertise of the chefs. Overall, the 'Indian Rasoi' Cirencester provided an outstanding dining experience that made our Christmas celebration truly special. We are grateful for the wonderful memories created and highly recommend this establishment for anyone looking to savour exquisite Indian cuisine in a fantastic setting.

Took hubby out for his birthday, wonderful food as always and a surprise at end was that he was presented with a birthday pudding!!! Thank you so much for the personal touch xxxx

Indian rasoi is the place to go for Indian in Cirencester. We’ve been for both takeaway and eat in and always fabulous meals

The takeaway service was really quick and staff were welcoming upon arrival. Food was good and enjoyed it.

Really nice place. Temperure was good, service excellent. The woman looking after us (Jan) was sooooo friendly and helpful, came across apologising about the wait at one point, which wasn't excessive... The server was very friendly, which added to our experience. Food was very nice, the only thing with a negative was the price of a bottle of red (£28 for the cheapest). Food price was ok.

We had a fabulous meal here on Saturday evening. Jan, front of house, was exceptional, friendly and attentive. The man who greeted us with a huge smile when we walked in, and served our food, was also very friendly. The food was delicious and served promptly despite them being busy. Also impressive was the attention to detail. The cutlery and glassware, the fancy carafe and the decor. All appeared to have been chosen with care. We loved it!

We turned up late on Friday night but they set up a table for us straightaway with no fuss. Super lovely staff and excellent food. Would highly recommend

The first time here. What a Gem in Cirencester. Best Indian I have ever been to. The set menu created by Roman was delicious, every course. All the staff were attentive and really did care that we had the best service and we could not have asked for more. Will definitely be going back. Thank you for a great evening. And it was also a charity night. Well done Roman and the team.

Stumbled upon this amazing building, as soon as we walked staff were attentive, friendly and welcoming! Great menu selection, extremely good value, and accommodating of allergens. Food was amazing, better than rosette Indians previously tasted. Everything homemade and to order the Peshwari naan was the best my partner had ever had, (he’s a Michelin guide chef)! Would we go back..? Yes went there the next night!

Had takeaway whilst visiting Cirencester and it was the best curry I have ever had.

Ordered takeaway and was ready on time. Friendly professional service and very clean premises. Food was excellent, vindaloo spicy and hot, sag alloo very tasty, rice spiced very well & onion bahjee portions just right. Will definitely try more dishes from here

Excellent food, staff and atmosphere.

Friends took us out to this charming place for. Saturday night dinner. Staff were universally friendly, attentive, helpful and charming. Atmosphere was convivial and relaxed with a pleasantly busy buzzetting was pretty, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Menu option are wide, varied and customisable. Dietary needs and preferences were quickly and efficiently handled. Food came out lovingly prepared and beautifully presented. Fab meal, would highly recommend

Offers a varied menu beyond that you normally find in an Indian restaurant. However the food is overpriced and the wine extremely so, even by restaurant standards. This wouldn’t be so bad but the lamb was awful, my partner found the chicken was stringy, the rice was undercooked and the naan was overcooked.

Behind the bland stone walls of this Cirencester street (and immediately adjacent to a free -after 6pm- car park) lies the white table clothes of Indian Rasoi. From the initial welcome until the final goodbyes the staff were superb, friendly and professional. The food whether a Chicken Tikka Marsala (mild and creamy) or a Chilli Garlic King Prawn ( very hot) was absolutely wonderful. Fresh and tasty. We had a really enjoyable evening!

Lovely traditional food. Good prices with excellent service.

Right from the start of our meal at Indian Rasoi, all of the waiting staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome. The food was authentic and tasty too. Would recommend for Indian food in Cirencester!

Wonderful Indian restaurant! Can't believe I've never visited this restaurant before as its so lovely. Fabulous atmosphere, delicious food, lovely staff and fairly priced definitely worth a visit if you live in Cirencester or just visiting.

Really nice and different menu from the usual curry house, very tasty food and especially pleasant waiters, our orders took a little longer than expected to arrive at the table due to staff shortage but we were informed of this but we didn't mind as it was worth the wait. Will come back when back in Cirencester

Gorgeous restaurant with the best meal do not miss out please go visit the restaurant and enjoy.🇬🇧👍👍😉🏆Thanks

Tuesday, party of 11! waiter had blundered our order up leading to a 2 hour wait, finally when the food arrived, a few of us were missing food items which led us to wait while others on our table dined, food finally arrived after my friends had finished, it's a shame because the food was outstanding but the service was absolutely shocking! A table full of chefs is probably the worst clientèle to disappoint. There was a couple opposite us who had waited over 30 mins for their order to be taken until they actually walked out and had the staff chasing after them to return !!! Embarrassing! Prices are not too bad but no free poppadoms? really? Food great, service terrible.

This is possibly the friendliest restaurant I have ever been involved with? From the moment you walk on, you are greeted as a regular, which not surprisingly, we are now. Roman and Jan, the owners have gone out of their way to hire staff that are welcoming and always there - Faeyat (hope spelling ok?!?!) in particular is a great FoH for them, whether eating in, or orders takeaway. The food is clearly freshly cooked and so can be a little later than advised if taking away, so need to factor that in at busy times. We particularly enjoy the King Prawn Kebab which we share as a starter!! Had the most fantastic meal there to celebrate the end of Ramadan and I gather that a similar meal was served at their recent Fund Raiser - a must visit restaurant.

A fabulous restaurant for any occasion. But I took my special needs brother here for his birthday, and I’d mentioned this in the booking form. The staff were amazing as was the food and they made an extra special effort to make my brothers birthday extra special. We 100% recommend this restaurant

We visited here on Friday evening, so glad we did! a warm welcome into this lovely restaurant. The decor is tasteful with white walls and lamps on the shelves making it very cosy. We asked for a window table and was shown to our table. The tables are spaced out so you aren’t close to others which I liked as-well We ordered chicken kormas, Palau rice, and naan bread. We didn’t wait long and it was delicious. The chicken was tender and portions were great. The rice was flavoured just right and naan was tasty as-well. Jan I think was her name came around and spoke to people at there table to make sure everything was ok….such a lovely place. We were visitors to this lovely area and would love to come back again..

A wonderful place for Indian food in the middle of the city. They staff makes you feel at home. They have a great selection of food. Be careful, the hot dishes are hot!!

Not too good not too bad I was there on Thursday and it took 2.5 hrs to complete dine in Food was ok type

Stayed overnight in Cirencester on my way to a family gathering in a nearby Cotswold town. As a non-meat eater (occasionally eat fish) Indian restaurants always offer a plentiful range of options and this one was no exception. I enjoyed the Bengali style aubergine with pilau rice and a side of Dalroshun (a variant of tarka dhal). All washed down with a large Kingfisher. Staff friendly and helpful throughout.

Not sure what was better, The food or Staff/Service. Great selection of dishes and super fresh. Will be back again soon.

We’re travellers eating out every night across the country. Without a doubt this is the best Indian cuisine we’ve had and in a charming restaurant with exemplary service by a professional team. No point recommending anything specific here I’m sure all the food is fantastic. We’ve agreed that if we lived in Cirencester we’d be here every week.

What a fantastic find! We ordered several plates off menu, we asked for things to be made vegan, we could not have hoped for a better dinner experience. The staff are all incredibly kind and so nice and accommodating. We were left speechless by the service. The waiting staff are all so great! Highly recommend finishing off your meal with a coffee - delicious! The spinach saag bhaji was the star of our night, could not recommend enough xoxo

Excellent food and friendly service. Spotless clean and top class food, cannot complain. Externally doesn’t look too inviting, but inside, the best.

I booked for a group of ten at the bank holiday weekend. We were impressed with the quality of food and service. Meat and vegetarian dishes were excellent. Recommended

Excellent Service and Food thoroughly recommend

Great Indian Restaurant , starting with the popadoms with top quality pickles , had Poulmi Chicken ,Katsuri Lamb Begun Bhajee pilau rice and a Naan, everything was perfect , very well spiced , you could taste the different spices rather then be blown away by...

We had a takeaway meal last Wednesday. It was great value,really delicious and a lovely birthday meal. The ordering and service were great. Thank you Salman!

We arranged to meet up with friends here as it was halfway between where we live. Despite knowing Cirencester well and having lived here for a while, I'd not been to the restaurant before. Really impressed. Food was delicious and different from your usual "curry...

Stumbled on this place while on an evening walk in Cirencester. Ordered some takeaway and this place hands down probably had one of the best tasting Indian meals I have ever had. I asked for disposable cutlery and there was none on hand (not a big deal)…so I left and had walked easily 200m+ when the fellow at the front desk came running after me to deliver some disposable cutlery he had got for me. I guess they they do care that much about their customers :-)

Tasty food and conveniently located, but we had a very odd interaction with the waiter that left me feeling quite upset. When it came to collecting the menus from my family and I, he stated that he was one menu short. He wasn’t - we had each given a menu. He went to look around the table to find it. It wasn’t there, obviously. And he said it would turn up (which I’m sure it will as we handed it over). The tone was accusatory and left us feeling uncomfortable. When he came back to the table later I asked if it had turned up and he again doubled down that he would find it in due course but that cutlery etc often ends up under the table or lost. We spent over £100 in total and, as I say, the food was good. But this interaction really undermined the experience.

Very good choice of starters, mains etc and good vegetarian selection. Nice atmosphere, very pleasant waiters. Seated really quickly, asked about drinks and poppadoms before we'd got chance to settle, felt a little rushed. Didn't have to wait long for food which was very tasty and everything nice and hot. A couple of areas we felt could have been better. Once mains served we weren't asked if everything was ok, did we want any more drinks or would we like to see the dessert menu. Also a little surprised at the cost of the poppadoms and dips. £1 per poppadom and £3.95 for the pleasure of a few spoons of pickles and yoghurt! Would visit again if we were in Cirencester but would not allow ourselves to be rushed with ordering.

Amazing I must say definitely going back one on my favourite list Menu has changed it's nice to see it still is really good

We had a takeaway from Indian Rasoi recently, easy on-line order and food was very high quality - everyone enjoyed their dishes. The Lamb Poulmi was superb as was the Coriander Chicken dish, although not much evidence of Coriander. We will definately go again and...

Came across this little gem by accident, hidden away from the town centre on a quiet little street ( walking distance from town) but by far the best I have ever had.

Been here many times previously and it's always been good food and welcoming. Tonight we had a pre booked table for 8.30 and arrived on time to be seated at reception, twenty minutes later we were still sat here without even being offered a drink or any acknowledgement whatsoever. At which point we left and dined elsewhere. We will not be returning here, I appreciate it was obviously a busy night for you but don't take the booking if you can't fulfill a service let alone make us feel like an inconvenience for being here.

My Favourite Indian Restaurant in town. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the food is delicious. The menu has lots of options for everyone. Would definitely recommend!

Great food but queuing to get a drink and the queue to pay for food is bit much especially when busy 😕

We were visiting Cirencester, from Cheltenham, as we had tickets for the Sundial Theatre and so were looking for somewhere to eat. We parked in the Abbey car park and by chance realised we were right next to a restaurant. What luck and what a find! Located in an older, characterful building this is a charming restaurant. We chose Poppadoms and chutneys for our starters followed by Chicken Jalfrezi, Sagoti Chicken Tikka, Plain Naan and Basmati Rice, accompanied by a very nice bottle of red wine. All the food was beautiiful cooked and delivered with attentive but discreet service. The white tablecloths were a nice touch too as were the various Indian artefacts dotted around making it feel really autherntic. We considered ourselves very lucky to have stumbled on this gem quite by chance and will definately visit again in the future. If you haven't tried it already then you must, it's well worth a visit.

What a fabulous restaurant - we had the most incredible meal ! The staff are just wonderful and could not have been more welcoming ! I cannot recommend this restaurant isn’t more highly !

Lovely food and great service 👍🏼

Great food and service. Very attentive staff and delicious dishes with several vegan options.

Had a Thursday evening dinner Wonderful modern interior housed in beautiful mediaeval building Friendly efficient attentive team Starter of Tikka Salmon Main Chicken Mangalorean Sides aubergine pea/paneer mushroom rice all excellent fresh balanced spices If you are thinking of going don’t hesitate Highly recommend

Amazing service, tasty food and a really nice venue. The staff were super attentive and polite.

Been here twice. First time absolutely loved it, food so so delicious. Staff lovely. Second time they clearly had booked too many tables and not had enough staff in. We waited quite some time to be asked about drinks and poppadoms. Once these arrived, a little later they took the food order. We then waited close to an hour for the food to arrive, by which time some of us were past the point of being hungry any more. We had also finished our drinks and asked three different members of staff if we could order more. The food then came out and we were halfway through by the time the drinks came, when we maybe didn't need them any more. I had a prawn dish which came out lukewarm. Then it took us a while to get the bill, and again we had to ask several people if we could please pay as we'd been in the restaurant for around 3 hours and had somewhere else to be and we're already running late. Eventually we were told to go downstairs to pay. We had such a lovely first time which is the only reason I've kept this at 4 stars. The second time was a 2 star experience.

The Indian Rasoi restaurant is close to the centre of Cirencester and is only a very short walk from the market place and St. John Baptist church (the restaurant looks like a house that has been tastefully converted). We were welcomed by Jan and Roman...

The service was one of the best I've had in a while, very polite, attentive but not pushy and also happy to recommend I've had a chef special which was eth Flaming Chicken which just lacked a little in seasoning and flavor, the Naan were...

Great food great staff. Always quiet in there for some reason, but the food and people are great.

Booked a table and had one by the window which was lovely. Oldie worldie building full of character. Really nicely decorated - bright and airy and even with three groups in the restaurant it was still possible to have a more cosy dinner without feeling...

Amazing can't fault anything about our wonderful evening there.

Fantastic food and great service at reasonable prices 👍

Extremely overpriced, paid 5 pounds for 1 samosa starter probably frozen ones from Lidl, and food was horrendous! This is 100% Bangladeshi food disguised as Indian food, not authentic at all. Food is absolutely not worth the price, they are literally robbing you!

We visited to this con artists lair on Christmas day where they had a set menu containing lamb and turkey which we don't eat. We then decided to leave as there wasn't much we could eat of the set menu but the waiter said that he'll make something special us. We were pleased by this. He said he'll make us a chicken biryani and a chicken tika masala and some naan just for us. At this time we said Do you have any veg dishes and they said no and we said OK that's fine we'll just have the biryani, curry and naan. Then when she brought the food she also brought a "mix platter" that we never ordered. This was revolting. It had a miny veg samosa that was clearly from a packet that they chucked in the oven and some raw uncooked chicken. We ate the samosa but not the chicken as we didn't know if it was even safe to eat. Then came the revolting chicken tika masala which we didn't eat. We only ate the naan and the pickle. We didn't touch the biryani and parcelled it. We ate a bit of the biryani at home which gave us a horrible stomach ache. Then she came with a veg dish that we just asked if they had but never ordered. The bill came to £60 for biryani, curry and naan. They charged us £15 for the "mix plater" and 15 for the veg curry. We said we never asked for these two items but they made us pay anyway. I understand that the waiter allegedly made the biryani and curry from scratch, but they purposely gave us the veg curry and mix platter to up the bill. Thieves

Wow, what an amazing time. The food was fabulous especially the lamb shank. Excellent service with a lovely host who could not do enough for us, including finding an amazing coconut rice pudding from the other festive menu. I would definitely do this again for Christmas day.

The service was fantastic and the food was absolutely sensational! Definitely our favourite Indian restaurant in this area of the world.

Went here whilst visiting the town, delicious food, attentive service and a lovely building, close to the town centre, we would be happy to return.

Delicious curry. Really lovely and kind staff.

Just can’t fault the food, everything is presented beautifully and tastes amazing. It’s great being able to try authentic Indian food that’s actually served in India and Indian homes. So lucky to have this restaurant in our town. If you’re visiting Cirencester it’s a must...

We had not booked, but luckily, they found a little table for us and made us comfortable. I had Mangalorean Chicken with mushroom rice, both were superb. The wine was very good. All reasonably prices and because it was my friend's birthday, they treated us...

Fabulous restaurant a few meters away from Cirencester centre. The food is absolutely fantastic, one of the best Indian food I had in England. The staff are extremely friendly and eager to help/serve. A real little gem

Food and service were excellent. Food is reasonably priced. Prawn birani and the Pouli chicken were standouts.

Amazing food, service, ambience and environment. It’s a lovely restaurant and we would highly recommend a visit!

It was Saturday night and we fancied a curry, and thought we would give Indian Rasoi a try. The restaurant is tucked away in Dollar St, and could easily be missed if you didn't know it was there. Upstairs was very busy but we were...

I came to this lovely restaurant for my birthday, the staff were so lovely and the food was amazing. Thank you for making my birthday so nice xx

Fantastic food and Great service. Will be coming back.

We hadden niet gereserveerd, maar werden vriendelijk ontvangen en naar een tafel begeleid. Heerlijk eten en uiterst vriendelijk personeel.

We were visiting the Cotswolds for a friend's wedding on the Saturday, so had a Friday night free. Decided to opt for an Indian and so pleased we chose Rasoi! The restaurant itself is lovely, the menu was great, the food and wine were delicious...

Excellent restaurant, clean, tasty, great service

We live in Lechlade about 15 miles from Cirencester and really wanted a night out and the concensus was “Indian” after a bit of research the Indian Rasoi came to our attention with good reviews. From the moment we arrived until we left, we were...

Amazing service! Loved it and been there many times, highly recommended to others

First the bad bits: common to many Indian restaurants the pickle tray arrived without us ordering it but the bill charged us £3+ for it, so we didn't leave a tip; the onion bhajee was poor, tasteless and greasy which my wife suggests was due...

Lovely food and very friendly staff.
