Raja Rani Restaurant in East Dunbartonshire

We didn’t sit in at the restaurant this time but ordered a takeaway as we have done this a lot over the years since the restaurant opened. We have had our ups and downs with delivery being late or the food being stone cold on arrival but this time it was the chicken in the chicken Bhuna , it was all very tough not like chicken breast and quite unpleasant….. hoping this restaurant is not cutting their costs and using other parts of the chicken or cheaper quality as I have always felt Raja Rani were superior to the other local restaurants by a mile. Very disappointed……

I've been here numerous times now and it just gets better and better. Before, I occasionally found their lamb a bit tough/fatty but the last few times it has been absolutely amazing. Their bhoon sauce is wonderful, the best I've tasted in a long time. Their prices are really reasonable and the service is good too.

We frequently go out for Saturday lunch me and my wife and we hadnt been in Rajas for wuite some time. This was the 1st time we had lunch there. It delivered big time. The food was outstanding 3 starters, all pakoras fish veg and chicken. Now obviously the portions were smaller being a lunchtime menu but they were all 1st class taste was amazing. We then had a curry each I had a bhoona my wife had a Chicken Tikka Masala. We also had a garlic nann to share and some chips. For a lunchtime menu this was top drawer. Couldnt fault it in any way service was tip top. Very much recomnend it. A GREAT PRICE TOO. We will be back 100%

Food is lovely if somewhat small portions, the issue mainly is the poor service - our main server, a young woman, was fine but the young guy who seemed to be mainly behind the bar was miserable and rude, no attempt to smile - rolled his eyes when he was asked for milk for tea that was ordered - really seemed he was unhappy to be there. Another young man brought ice cream to the table- a small bowl , instead of carrying it by holding it in his palm he had his fingers in the actual bowl touching the ice cream, proceeded to dump bowl on our table and walk away wiping his nose - we will def not be back !

We went for a meal last night. All was well with our starters and drinks. Waited 40 minutes for our main course despite it being very quiet but we weren’t in a rush. Table next to us got their food before us despite ordering after us - strange but perhaps a more regular customer. Just before we got our mains - literally before they hit the table - we were advised that our order couldn’t be served with rice as they had run out. Alternative - chips or naan bread - fine. Assured they would be brought out - started the curries (with no accompaniments) - waited and waited and waited - eventually got chips - food half finished. Only to then be offered boiled rice! Take away side seemed very busy - perhaps that’s where the focus is. Another family experienced the same and simply left! And we should have too. The £5 off the bill didn’t quite make up for basically ruining what should have been a nice family meal - a pity as the food is lovely. Doubt we will be back.

Absolutely DISGUSTING takeaway! Look at these photos. When on earth was the oil last changed?!? The pakora clearly re-heated from lunch. The chips inedible. Shame on you!

Some negative reviews which do not reflect our experience ! Frequent on a regular basis with groups of friends and never disappointed. Good food and service all at a reasonable price. Sometimes a little noisy but at weekends that’s to be expected if popular.

Lovely food and waiting staff were very good my only complaint is the vents in the restaurant were blowing out cold air and we had to eat with our jackets on it was not very comfortable. When mentioned to the staff they said they were cold also and that they had received a lot of complaints about the restaurant being cold but the management didn’t do anything about it

Absolutely mouth watering food! Loved every single dish! Went on a double date and we barely spoke to each other because had our faces buried in food! Brilliant decor!

Excellent lunch enjoyed by all and the service is first class. Their set menu is very good value and portion size is perfect for lunch. Nice premises with disabled access.

Carry out quality was absolutely terrible, some of the food was almost inedible, will certainly not be returning. Plenty other good options in Milngavie / Bearsden.

Decent enough, plain anglicised food; in catering to local tastebuds and smoke alarm regulations (its a sizzle-free zone which renders anything Tandoori an unexciting choice) misses out on the culinary pazzazz of Kundal Lal Jaggi or the aromatic delicacies of Vidhu Mittal/Madhur Jaffrey. Perhaps just a tad of Sunday evening fatigue on this occasion. Service was nevertheless good - our waitress Erin clearly on an upward trajectory - attentive, thoughtful and destined for higher places.

Lovely dinner tonight. Staff attentive and lovely. We had popadoms and mango chutney, honey chilli chicken as starters. A apple juice and Kingfisher beer. Mains sharing a garlic naan and pilau rice with a fish curry and a paneer labradar. Cost just over £50. All very tasty.

We visit here often & have never been disappointed. The surroundings are lovely & the staff are efficient. However, it's the food that really stands out. Every dish is full of flavour & very fresh. Decent portions also. Highly recommended.

We went their after the renovation last month, foods are always great and service from the young waiter and waitress a delight. Washrooms look stunning, good job x

I ordered takeaway in the restaurant. Staff abrupt and rude. Found a hair baked into one of the poppadums. South Indian garlic chilli chicken so sweet it was inedible, tasted like a chasni. Really disappointing experience

I first started eating Indian food about 60 years ago and have been to hundreds of Indian restaurants including in India itself . but I must say the flavours and the spices used were excellent , there was a small glitch about onions but it...

I've had takeaways from here a good few times now and, overall, am very happy with the food. Their fish pakora are the best I've tasted, absolute class. I always get bhuna and the sauce is fantastic, I absolutely love it. I'm not a great...

Raja Rani is an excellent Indian restaurant. Superb food, clean and well-presented environment, friendly staff and reasonable prices. We are regular visitors and we are delighted every time we visit. Keep up the good work and thank you!

There is a creeping race to the bottom in quality Indian food. RR Reverses that trend completely. The food here is like going to an upper caste Indian wedding ceremony. Fantastic Meat & Vegetable dishes that are truly authentic in style and cooked like a...

I have fitted out the new restaurant in Partick cross ,,(rickshaw) to find out the boys own the raja rana ,,, been in there the last few months for take away ,,, and the food is absolutely Dynamite ,, 1 complaint ,, not opened through...

Simply outstanding food, so much care and attentions to the freshness and overall taste of the food. Hints of lemon from fresh starters, marinated and grilled to perfection tandoori grill, nan bread soft on the inside and crispy on the outside with lashing of yummy...

tried ashoka to start with .. an old friend, but in need of work ... crossed road here , staff and place great .. food is best around by a distance.

Disappointing, thought i would have been more impressed with this dish, prawns looked reasonable size however they still had their jackets on. Not much eating involved, plus veg pakors was average and not many of them.

Probably one of the best curries I’ve eaten in years… absolutely delicious very happy to recommend. Lovely friendly service serving beautifully prepared presented meal .

Really lovely food. I'm addicted. Whatever you are doing. Please keep doing it. Keep the chef. Don't change. The food is excellent. Also please tell the chef that he/she is a genius in the kitchen. Thank you.

This was our first visit to Raja Rani and most certainly won’t be our last. Most delicious Indian I have had in a long time very well presented. If I could I would give this restaurant 6 stars. Lovely atmosphere staff very attentive and polite....

Food is amazing, best restaurant for this type of food in Bearsden. I was recommended by a friend to try it and it’s been my go to. Food is valued at good price with good deals and a large selection of options.

I like this Indian restaurant because the portions are a good small size. Maybe a tad overpriced but I still enjoyed my visit. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and service was quick! Will definitely be back in the future.

Really good and quick service from the staff. Food was really tasty and they had all the usual dishes you would find in an Indian restaurant. Portion sizes were good and reasonably priced.

Had amazing starters, sea bass with spice and coconut, broccoli with spice, mains of vegetable chakuti and himalayan hotpot with gatlic naan and pilau. Best curry in many a year. Also very clean and staff very friendly and courteous, could not be better

We regularly order take away from Raja Rani and have never been disappointed. Everything arrives within the advised delivery timescale and is always hot. The quality of the curry's is outstanding and we love sampling new ones every time. The haggis pakora are a firm...

Had a delivery tonight for the first time and it was absolutely perfect! Great delivery driver (timing immaculate as just at HT in the rugby!) and the curry was as good as any I've ever had. Plenty to have tomorrow as well!

2 days ago, I received a leaflet through my door - and it was from this restaurant. I've not had much good experiences with Indian food lately up this way. So, I thought I'd give this place a try, as they delivered to Knightsood from...

We pre-ordered a huge home delivery for a family of 10. It arrived exactly on time, hot, and good sized portions. Every curry was delicious. Can't fault it.

We have picked up takeaway from the restaurant a few times and the food has been great so we decided to go for a meal for my partners birthday. Personally I am apprehensive about eating out since restaurants have re-opened but I have to say...

Went on a Saturday night for the Pre-Theatre menu, excellent value and good choice of curries. The Tandoori Lamb chops starter were delicious and the chicken tikka bhoona and lamb bhoona where amazing. This is our go to Indian takeaway however sitting in was amazing...

Friday night takeaway treat. We ordered online and collected. Our curries were excellent and great service. Enough left for us each to have lunch on Saturday. Will definitely order again. We chose the meal deal each. Thank you!

Had our first takeaway since lockdown. Food was delicious. Had tandoori dishes, Tandoori Jumbo King Prawns and Chicken tikka. Amazing. Will definitely be ordering again very soon. Thank you Raja Rani .

So, in lock down, we were very pleased to find that Raja Rani were offering a delivery service. Having been a little unimpressed with previous take out's from Raja Rani, but desperate for some Indian food, we decided to give it another try. I wonder...

Tasty food, not greasy, but they need to review their portion sizes for some dishes. The chana poori portion is an absolute joke, and is getting smaller than previous. Nice curry but a definite put off given you can get a lot more more for...

Been very impressed with this restaurant. Really, really tasty Indian cuisine at very good prices. The staff are wonderfully helpful and the pre-meal taster dishes are a wonderful touch.

Bought our first meal from here as carry out. Fantastic menu with options we haven’t seen before. Decided to opt for the meal for 2 as seemed excellent value. Ready in under 15 minutes. Lovely and hot when we unwrapped food. The food was absolutely...

Missfourtune to vsit on newyears eve order took very long to arrive then order items were missing on him self was serving when told about un recived item just sade not order and never come back.or apalochize

We called in to this lovely restaurant and enjoyed wonderful vegetable pakora and chicken ceylonese curry. Good service and wonderful food. Never disappoints.

I have been multiple times and have never had one problem. The food is some of the best I have taste and there is a wide variety on the menu. It is slightly more expensive than some other places but is definitely worth the price.

Popped in without booking and got a both, which was lovely. We had the Pre-Theatre and I have to say the choice and quality of the food was excellent. Staff very efficient and friendly, and service was very good indeed. Will certainly be back.

Our first visit to this Restaurant, staff very friendly , good menu , nice surroundings, and the food was decent, without being spectacular, but I would return . Not much else to say about it . But worth a visit.

Arrived as a party of four. Had a chefs platter for starters and various currys with peshwari and Keema Nan breads. Food was great, and service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant really needs to get new menus though, they were falling apart and had...

The food was very nice when it eventually came.The starter arrived quite quickly but we had to wait an hour for the main course.The staff was too busy attending to the carry outs. The portions were adequate but not too plentiful. You could easily have...

Enjoyed a pre-theatre dinner here as part of my wife's birthday celebrations. Staff were very knowledgeable and eager to help with food choice. The meal was exquisitely cooked and attractively presented. Service was good and friendly. Great atmosphere in the restaurant which was certainly very...

Food lovely and great value for the Pre-theatre menu. Portions good, excellent choices within this menu, served by very attentive staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Definitely a find in Bearsden.

Didn’t know what to expect, service was really good relaxed but attentive, we had the pre theatre really good price and good portion sizes

We asked one of our local business colleagues where he would recommend for a great evening meal? In his strong Scottish accent he said Raja Rani, I asked again and the second time I got the name.... we booked a taxi and arrived, it is...

Decided visit to this new Indian restaurant in Bearsden - tucked down a side street. First impressions were that it was not that different to when it was previously a Tapas restaurant. The layout has changed but not to a great extent. The food was...

Delicious food ,authentic dishes ,and excellent menu . Coconut chicken tikka masala superb as is the tandoori jumbo king prawn. Vegetarian dishes delicious.

First visit here, staff were lovely and the food was amazing. Diner on the ore-theatre menu which I felt was very good value for money, very generous portion sizes. We will be back again soon!

The staff were very friendly and the service was quick. The food was delicious, we opted for the pre theatre menu which was great value. The only thing that let it down slightly was the waiter who took our order didn't write it down and...

Not up to usual standard 😔. Veg Pakora burnt ...,chicken bhuna too spicy...nan bread thick and doughy .. disappointing as usually spot on ..

1st visit yesterday evening. Food was great, staff were very nice and the atmosphere was busy but fun towards the end of the meal. Pre theatre was great value. Definitely be returning.

Ordered food, arrives and missing a nan. I call them but told they will try to deliver in 30mins once a driver is available... Asked for manager so I could explain why we want it sooner. It comes 20mins later and its cold. Disappointed as...

After reading the reviews I looked forward to enjoying a meal at the Raja Rani. I ordered the fish pakora which is described as mini fish fillets coated in a batter which in reality was fragments of minced fish covered in batter. My husband enjoyed...

Our third visit to Raja Rani and it never fails to please. The food is so good and the service first class. Special mention to Michael who has been our waiter each time we have visited and who is a great asset. Nothing too much...

Popped in for lite bite with hubby. Was pretty busy for January. We opted for the sharing platter and another small plate. Food was great, service quick and nice touch from the kitchen with a complimentary taster dish. Sharing platter was plenty and tasty. Will...

Visited for 1st time and was not impressed...seat at window is so uncomfortable & looking at lights on window is too much after 5mins. Our order was wrong & we waited for replacement too long so all our other food was finished by the time...

We have visited this lovely restaurant numerous times and always enjoyed the experience. The food was delicious, the service attentive and the ambiance just right. We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our visit and will return again soon.

I’d been meaning to visit this restaurant for quite some time and just kept forgetting as it’s not somewhere I pass that often, however my boyfriend and I decided to make a trip after Christmas. It was so worth it - the most amazing Indian...

I've been here every time I visit Glasgow (I'm from Canada) because the food is stupid good. I'm coming back at the end of the month and you will be seeing my face again! For anyone that hasn't been before, go!! Too good.

My partner and I tried this restaurant for the first time recently and we really enjoyed the whole experience. The food was wonderful but the service was excellent, the managers have really trained the waiting staff very well and in this day and age it...

We love raja rani, too many visits to count,and never once disappointed, the food is fab and service great especially how good the staff are with younger kids. The raja rani malaider is my recommendation .

Discovered Raja by accident when searching for an alternative takeaway after our usual one let us down. Enjoyed the curries so much we thought we’d give the restaurant a go. Nice layout & decor though a bit on the noisy side for us. Great choice...

Visited on a Sat evening after a recomendation of a friend. The surroundings, staff, service and food were first class. Both our curries were the tastiest we have had, the fish starter was also amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will definitely return.

First time at the Raja Rani,but it won’t be our last. A friendly welcome from the staff, great service throughout and an excellent couple of curries meant that all our boxes were ticked. The restaurant is well appointed, and nicely laid out, and the menu...

The restaurant layout hasn't changed much from previous ownership. The food and service were first class and staff keen to ensure that everything was just right.

Lovely welcome, very attentive staff, nicely served starters including extras from the chefs. Mains - we were not disappointed - really enjoyed our meal. Will definitely come again with friends/ family. Highly recommend.

We had the Pre theatre which is great value at £11.50 and a great choice of starters and mains. We had the Lahori Fish and Bhoona chicken wings , both delicious. For mains we had the Chicken Rogan Josh and Lamb Bhoona with nan and...

Visited last evening (Saturday) without appointment and we were most surprised that less than half the seats were taken. This was our fourth visit and previously it was always packed. We arrived at 6:30 and the painfully slow service had us leaving just after 9....

I haven't been here for a few months, the last time was brilliant. Delicious meal, served quickly and by competent waiters. However, my most recent visit was so bad it was actually comedic. At any one time during our visit there were no more than...

We have been to Raja Rani many times and genuinely it has never failed. Good selection and great service.

Never been here before so thought we would try it out. We were given a "meze" of chutney and spiced onions to start - very nice. The old staple of pakora was a disappointment by being overcooked and very dense. The mains were good and...

Went here for the first time, just popping out for an alternative to eating in. We were happily surprised, always rated the Ashoka as the best Indian restaurant in the area but this has now taken that prize. More relaxed atmosphere, quality (and a little...

We had a delicious meal at Raja Rani. The curries, rice and naan breads were superb. The service was first class and the food and wine was reasonable priced. We hope to return again soon.

Raja Rani is a fantastic venue for get-togethers with family and friends. Each time we’ve visited we have been delighted with both the menu options and the level of courtesy and service. Most importantly however, the food on offer is outstanding. Great care appears to...

I wasn't a big fan of Indian food before this place opened. I think it always tasted the same, but after visiting here I'm a total convert. The quality and taste of the food every time is brilliant. consistency is the key and the reason...

On a recommendation I tried Raja Rani a few months ago, and found it to be excellent. Been back many times since, and found the food, service and environment to be consistently good. I no longer make trips to the West End for a curry;...

I had family visiting from Liverpool and booked a meal on Wednesday 19th September for four. The food and service was first class and our relatives said it was the best indian food they had tasted in a long time....Well done !!!!
