Indian Rasoi in Cotswold

Very disappointed with the Onion bargees over cooked with just abit of lettuce when I asked for some Rieta sauce the waiter looked confused and came back with some red sauce? We had less poppadoms than ordered And they got 1 dish wrong I think the waiter was new or just wanted to finish early as the other main dishes were very good. After spending over £100 was disappointed on a special night out👎

An exceptional meal and recommended if visiting Cirencester. We ate here on Saturday night and had a delightful evening. Staff were exceptional with the right balance of attentiveness and service.

Best I've visited in a long time! The place has a great relaxed atmosphere, staff are very smart and professional and the food was the best I've had for some time. It came out piping hot and super flavoursome. Definitely recommend.

Nice food, took a while to come, but it was a Saturday night.

I had the Sagoti Chicken Tikka, Special Rice and Cheese Naan. The Sagoti was mildly spicy and very tasty. The service was good and I would highly recommend the restaurant

Food was ok, service was slow at times.

Very friendly. Interesting and comprehensive menu. Venue a little unusual, namely it's a partly converted house. Felt like going round to a friend for dinner The meal itself es excellent

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

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

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.

Fantastic quality food. Great service and a lovely atmosphere 👌

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.

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

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

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

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

Lovely traditional food. Good prices with excellent service.

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

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

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.

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

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 Service and Food thoroughly recommend

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!

Very nice experience. Service was amazing, the food was soo good and fresh and halal. Definitely recommend

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.

Great food and Friendly service. Nice for atmosphere for special meal out and can accommodate larger groups upstairs. Highly recommend.

Nice looking place, pleasant staff and appetising menu. We had two mains and two starters. The fish starter was two pieces of fish but the mixed tandoori was OK. Both were tasty. The lamb mains were very tough not good meat in very watery sauces. The dish taste was OK, but a strong liver overtone to the meat. Overall, far from what I would describe as an average quality takeaway and if I had eaten in I would have felt justified in raising issues there and then. Something I very rarely do.

Great staff, very friendly! Food and presentation was lovely, service was great. We were well looked after by the Rasoi team! Cosy vibes, a must visit joint if you get a craving for curry.

The place is lovely, the food was excellent, the workers very well mannered and polite. My only criticism is that the service was quite slow. When the main arrived, we were almost out of drink, and ordered another and it never arrived. Apart from this, no complaints. The bill was spot on.

It was our first time to travel to Cotswolds and stayed at Cirencester. We were craving for Chicken Biryani and Indian Rasoi saved the day! The biryani was delicious. Ambiance was great! Its like we were in a fine dining restaurant. The staff were nice as well!

Excellent food as usual. Find it a little cold wherever we sit, so just need to remember to take layers! Service was slow this time but then again, they were busy. The Rasoi is probably a bit more expensive than several local restaurants but the dishes are exceptionally good and worth less frequent visits to enjoy quality.

We arrived without a reservation and they accommodated us very graciously. Every part of the meal was excellent and the service friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back here again next time we’re in the Cotswolds and recommend it to anyone.

Post covid we have eaten in the restaurant and had takwaway and its been amazing. Ordered a takeaway yesterday and sad to say it was horrible. The korma tasted as bland as baby food and the butter chicken was worse. Did they forget to add...

I don’t live in Cirencester but was visiting a friend. We decided to get a last minute take away. It was absolutely delicious. So fresh, flavoursome and not greasy. I normally feel really full after a couple of mouthfuls of food as Indians can be...

My new favourite Indian. Always excellent

Visiting from Cardiff. Recommended by friends. Didn't book thinking Thursday evening would be quiet. Place packed but helpful Manager sorted us a table. Brilliant starters outstanding mains. Cold beer. Amazing friendly staff. Empty plates all round. Just spoke to fellow Hotel guests who ate there....

We visited this lovely restaurant last night whilst on a weekend away to Circenester. The staff were very friendly, the food was great and they even made us a dish off the menu. We will definitely be back!

Lovely relaxed setting, excellent service and tasty food. Lots of flavour in the Bombay flame Chicken and all food was presented well. My husband was expecting more spice but said his dish, Sagoti Chicken Tikka was tasty. Will be returning

Wonderful food, staff very attentive, prices competitive. Had a chicken dish not had before and loved it. Set in an old cottage but revamped very sympathetically, lovely atmosphere, Would go again for sure.

Service and food used to be good. Can’t comment on the food as the online order system rejected my order, what’s the point?

£6.50 for a slightly warm bottle of Cobra. That's just taking the p...roverbial. Unfortunately, that's the memory I have taken away from this place. The food was OK, the service was OK, but I strongly object to having the p....roverbial taken with the price of...

We had a fantastic meal with family. The food was AMAZING and the service was excellent.

Lovely atmosphere great food warm and friendly staff.

One of the nicest curries we have ever tasted! The Sabji Sambar was a revelation and the Naan cooked to perfection. Thoroughly recommended.

Was not great, delivered cold, madras had no spice at all! Onion bhaji were very oily. Tikka was bland and so was the samosa? All round so disappointed..

Food OK but nothing special, service OK but not great from one member of staff, starters literally felt like it was thrown in front of us! So much so that we laughed out loud, a couple of minutes later he returned and said "so is it nice!?" He didn't seem happy at all. After our meal we asked for the bill which was brought, we then sat there for at least 10 minutes before our happy server passed and I said can we pay? and he said "go to the till!" Needless to say, we won't be rushing back.

Fantastic food and lovely service from the friendly staff. We had the best Nann bread ever, fresh out of the oven, fluffy and light. The food was vibrant with fresh spices and quality ingredients.

Although we had to wait quiet long time for the food, it worth the wait. Food was fresh and very tasty. Service was good too .Friendly place and lovely environment. Very cosy.
