Rajdoot Divine Indian Flavour in Wealden

Always made welcome. Food good.

Exceptional help with a surprise, never had restaurant be so thoughtful and assisting. Thank you so much.

I came to collect my order and drove home (5 minute drive with a hot bag) Understandably the naan wasn’t as hot but the curry itself was barely warm I’ve driven 20 minutes from other curry houses and the food has still been too hot to touch The chicken tikka masala and the pilau rice were both extremely watery and the masala lacked flavour aside from the extreme salt aftertaste The onion baijs were way over cooked and extremely hard to eat all the way through The slightly cold cheese naan which lacked cheese was probably the best part of the meal It was definitely not worth the £21 I spent for just myself I do however believe every restaurant should have 2 chances and I will give it another go in the up in coming months hopefully tonight was a one off after reading other reviews It seems to be quite popular Staff were friendly and the restaurant itself looked clean and well established no faults there

This has to be the best meal we’ve had from a restaurant in hailsham! The chicken was beautifully cooked and the sauce amazing so much of it :) price was great delivery swift and food nice and hot when arrived!! Onion bhaji were huge and exceptionally tasty definitely recommend

The owner accomodated a large party of us. The food was served promptly and was delicious! The staff looked after us all well and we had a great evening. Thank you!

What a great atmosphere. Amazing food, service and drink. Very reasonable prices as well.

Mentioned restaurant timings are wrong. They won’t allow you in after 9:45pm

Perfect service .... Struggled a table but fit is in Apserloutly top class One word legends

We arrived tonight for there special offer 3 courses meal plus a drink, from walking in the service was excellent, followed by the food which was absolutely outstanding, the service and atmosphere was second to none, great food lovely atmosphere and will definitely be returning, by the way if you ordered the lamb pathia the lamb melts in your mouth, we are so lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant on our doorstep and also support our community, well done guys, keep doing what you do best , great food and 100% customer service, have you ever considered a evening or day class to cook a wonderful curry I am sure you would have a sell out, because we certainly would attend plus it would be fun , plus involving the community, I think it's a great idea

Quick service, very good value Set meal for 2, & the best takeaway we've had for many months

Dine in nice friendly staff ,good food would recommend & visit again when staying in the area

Had King Prawn Biryani takeaway dish. Was disappointed. Rice was mushy (as if it had been frozen) and tasted more like cous cous. There were no king prawns in dish - just a small trace of tiny shrimps. It was probably my mistake for going into restaurant and ordering such a takeaway at 6pm on a weekday but I did ask before ordering if it would be fresh and not frozen. It came with a separate small veg curry, which was mainly potatoes and not a normal partner to rice. At £15 it was a big disappointment. At half the price it would have been a small one. I think this is my first restaurant review. Photo taken to justify. I had previously had Home Delivery takeaway and been happy.

One of the only tasty Indian restaurants around

Great Indian restaurant, great food, great staff

So disgusted. I preordered my food as I was working late and it arrives and hour before the time I selected. When I called I was told I must have made a mistake and that I wad wrong. Absolutely disgusting customer service. Never ever using this restaurant again.

Second takeaway both absolutely amazing and delicious. Must book to eat in.

The very best Indian I've ever tasted. Excellent service atmosphere and staff. Would recommend a visit

We were recommended to try this restaurant and even though Hailsham would not be the first place you would think to go for dinner, we are glad we did. The food here is really good, the onion bhaji’s were big, light & not greasy and full of flavour. We decided to have their specials for main including the king prawn & roast lamb, these dishes really did shine the king prawns really were king prawns and everything was well flavoured and delicious. This is not just your average Indian restaurant, it is tastefully decorated, the service was really good and the special dishes really wouldn’t be out of place in a restaurant in Brighton. Overall we would highly recommend trying this restaurant.

On Thursday 14th December I had arranged a group meal for my cycling club. From the moment we arrived it was great, the food, the service and the price. The staff gave us just the right amount of attention and we all left very happy.

Great food and service. The manager came to our table and visited. I look forward to visiting next time I'm in the area .

We had a bad experience from there. We called and confirmed the timing and we reached the restaurant before 10pm. The guy who took order and served us was not looking happy all the time. Finally when we finished our meals, he came to us and told that we did something wrong that we went the place at that time, they have families and they want to go home early so we need to think about them before going there. We should go early ( where the timing of restaurant is until 11pm). We told that we called and confirmed before coming. Then he said, that is their rule, but we have to think about their families. I really don't understand the logic that the opening time is until 11:00 and we can't go at 9:50😏. Then why do they open that. .After having the food when we listen something like this is not good. We regret that we went to such a place where customers are treated like this.

I would like to say that this was the worst place I ever went in the UK.Their approach towards customers was really awful.No standard and no respect.I would never recommend this place ever.They just made us regret for choosing this place by their words.

Amazing service and food. Clientele leave something to be desired but that can't be helped. As an Asian food 100% but at 7-9pm on a Friday felt like the poor staff were working in the 80s! People in Hailsham are very odd. Will come here again xxx

Just visited the Rajdoot for the first time, excellent food and excellent service will definitely be going again.

The vegetable curry had a very limited amount of vegetables and was quite frankly disgusting

Very helpful staff. Food was loverly and plenty too. Thank you.

Food and staff amazing they take Indian cuisine to another level 👏🏻

The food was great, there were noisy tables around us. What ever happend to the Indian booths?

Takeaway wasn't what I expected. Best thing was nan bread

Great food, and really nice staff. Good indian music to accomany food to make the experience complete. Clean restaurant and toilets. I sometimes order take away, and delivery is within the allocated time. Drivers are efficient and nice.

1st class need i say more? I will certainly visit here again

Just had the most amazing dinner here, food was absolutely delicious. The curry was a 100% perfect. If you want a lovely evening, with exceptional food and excellent service. This is the place to go.😊

Much better than the Royal. Good food and it's open !

Lovely selection of food ,well cooked and presented. Staff very friendly. Every where clean. 4 people in our group ,all Enjoyed their meals, onion bhaji are fantastic a must have. All would go again no hesitation. One of the best Indian meals I have had in a while.

I've eaten here on and off for years but the last two meals I have had have been awful. Nann was incinerated, onion bhaji was chewy and overcooked. Chicken Rogan was poor at best. Very unhappy and wont be coming back.

Probably the best curry we have had in years. Worth the drive.

Fantastic place, food was amazing, Kash was very accommodating. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning.

Beautiful restaurant with wonderful service. Food is excellent

This is a great Indian restaurant with great food and service. Thanks

Had a really lovely takeaway from here tonight. Absolutely delicious and arrived ahead of schedule.

Biryani was absolutely mediocre, flavourless. Only 2 Onion Bhajis in a portion as well, overcooked. way too much salt used in all dishes. For the prices, you expect food on the higher end. Can get a 10x better biryani for £7 in my local

FANTASTIC food and the service is the best we have had

Excellent food very well prepared, very good service. Vert highly recommended.

Food was okay but for the price was expecting something amazing but the food was quite bland the service was very good but food was expensive for what you got

I found two pieces of sharp plastic in my meal and the way they solved the problem was to give me 0.90 of refund this is unacceptable i do not recommend this restaurant to anyone

Lovely greeters and servers, food delicious, the lady behind the counter made me a drink called floater, bloody lovely. The only down fall was we felt a little rushed with the popadom starter, we thought maybe 1st course was ready but that was not the case, apart from that will definately be back and would say give it a try for yourself, dont rely on reviews thats just someones opinion.

Lovely food, good service nice interior, highly recommend.

Experienced 2 dine ins. 1 before the rise in VAT which was 'quite' nice and the 2nd, 20% VAT was added when the bill arrived...Horrified was an understatement. My brother visited from London and fancied the sound of one of the main chicken meals. We thought let's try a takeaway. Worst decision of the weekend . Certainly wasn't 3rd time lucky. No taste, very bland and far too expensive Quite embarrassing really. Never again.

Popped in on a Monday night for birthday meal. What a lovely welcome, great food. Friendly staff, place lovely & clean. Definitely will be returning.

Restaurant is smart and the staff are nice. Pleasant food but nothing special. Didn’t realise until the bill came that VAT is not included in the prices on the menu. £53 for two people which included just one drink each.

Always get takeaway from them, never disappointed. Service is always good and the portions are filling

2nd curry we have had from here. Very happy. Best I've had since I can remember.

Always great food here. I recommend the Tikka korai, special rice and sag aloo. But tbh whatever i order is always nice. Just had chicken shaslik, mushroom rice and sag aloo. Very nice! Edit, prices in the menu are now plus vat making it 20% more expensive to eat here now. I now have to think twice before eating here due to this extra cost. I don't like the way this has been done tbh because most restaurants do not charge plus vat on the menu prices. It took me a few visits to work out why my bill had shot up.

Great Indian restaurant on hailsham high Street. Friendly staff and a nice clean modern atmosphere. Have taken guests on several occasions and all commented on how nice the food was. Also offer a takeaway or collection service which have also had several times. Always prompt delivery friendly delivery drivers, foods always fresh and hot. Cannot fault at all

I ordered a few different meals and they were all so bland and watery, I could honestly say I've had better microwave Currys and I will be avoiding ordering from here from now onwards

Sublime food and lovely service. Ambience was odd: empty on a friday night.

Great service and spotlessly clean. Great to have somewhere open on a Monday evening when everywhere else seemed to be closed.

Catered for 9 of us late on a Saturday night for my daughters birthday after a very horrible and disappointing experience at Prezzo’s Food was good and the staff were excellent. Many thanks.

Great food and lovely place, very chilled

Lovely takeaway, will definitely be using again. Many Thanks

Great food and very nice staff and ambience

Love going to the Rajdoot as a couple or with friends it's a great place to eat. We also order takeaway when we just want a night in with good food.

Very disappointed for the first time. Always found them very good before but all the dishes very bland. A dish claimed to be medium spiced was tasteless and the sag aloo was also completely bland besides needing a magnifying glass to find spinach. Two king prawns cost £3.50 each!!!! Needless to say I won’t be using them again.

Food was cold lamb was tough one main dish missing not enough drivers to give a time to redeliver missing dish,waiting for a refund, first time we have used this takeaway and will be the last!!! No refund after 7 days phoned the restaurant manager said refund had to go through just eat this is not what was said on the night of delivery .Phoned just eat and they will not refund because it's after 72 hours so cold tough food missing dish and no refund bad show Rajdoot !!!!!

We dined on on Christmas day. The food was excellent.

Just had a takeaway, after waiting 2 hours to be delivered was absolutely disgusted, it was totally tasteless as well as being cold will certainly not be using again.

Had a takeaway last night,first time I've used this restaurant and I must say it won't be the last time,lamb pasanda pilau rice garlic naan all delicious,probably the best Indian I've eaten in a very long time,well done

Fantastic meal and great service. Will definitely be back next time I'm working in the area. Thanks.

Went after the cinema for an early meal. Excellent service and food. Very tasty and fresh. Will return.

Excellent food and the service is top notch. If you love Indian food this is the place to be

Staff very friendly food was excellent 👌

Outstanding. Food is a cut above the average Indian restaurant, and the service is excellent. Highly recommended.

Excellent service and the best meal we have had in a lovely Indian restaurant. Thanks

Great food, great service, all in all an excellent experience.

First visit. Found to have good service. I enjoyed my lamb tikka and prawn main dish. Will revisit or have take away.

Staying locally on holiday from Manchester, ordered a takeaway from here on the recommendation of a taxi driver. A tad more expensive than our local Indian, but no complaints from anyone. In particular, the Dak Bungalow was superb (chosen largely through intrigue of the peculiar name but a great dish).

Delicious birthday meal out, amazing service, gorgeous food. No faults at all.

Fantastic meal had a lovely evening

Very nice little restaurant. Staff were superb and the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend a visit..

One of the best Indian Restaurant in the town.

Superb dishes, the best in the town by far!

Delicious food. Always Friendly service. We are 'regulars'.

Reasonable prices, lovely food, friendly staff

Outstanding service and we also got live updates from the owner about the footie ;) The service, wine list offering and friendliness in a packed restaurant was just outstanding. I can't praise this place enough for going above and beyond. I had a prawn vindaloo and it was fantastic, BUT the proof in the pudding for me, is to try the curry cold the next morning. It was even better but there is an associated Johnny Cash song 🤣🤣🤣. My other half ordered lamb which was cooked on the bone and just fell off. 100% we will be back, this is now my most favourite curry place in he south east, living well up to my other halfs expectations being from Birmingham

Not a bad curry. Only criticism would be there was too much meat in the curry. I prefer more sauce. My own preference though

Food was fresh service was also good the only thing I did find was there was not a lot on the menu like chiefs specials as I come from London visiting my brother price was high for what we had really but overall it was good an fresh

One of the first nights open after lockdown so we forgave the 1.5 hour wait for food but when the food came it was tasteless and very artificial looking? Someone had tipped a whole packet of red food colouring in 2 curries and a lamb curry was tough! It had been recommended to us so can only assume something went wrong with the chef that night?? I hope they sort it as we will not go back now sadly

Poor value takeaway, £3.50 per prawn, sag paneer side dish was less than half full in small container. Pilau rice was overcooked, looked and tasted like plain rice. Management disinterested when I called back after eating. Will avoid in future.

As a couple we had booked a meal on the 17th May 2021 and honestly it was amazing. The staff were the most caring restaurant staff I have ever met. Walking through the doors they welcomed us with massive smiles. When taking our order the owner of the restaurant and the waitresses came over to have a friendly chat. The meal was delicious, we had chicken tikka masala and a chicken Madras, both of which were full of flavour! For sides we had cheesy naan bread (not too cheesy just the right amount) and lovely onion bhajis. With two alcoholic drinks our meal cost £43.00, which was amazing for not only the food but the awesome experience. It was also my partners birthday and the staff decided to give him a gift, they brought out two more bottles in a bag for us to take home (the two bottles of which we had drunk with our meal), this was very thoughtful. If we lived closer (we was on holiday) we would definitely be returning!

Can’t fault the curry’s from here. Would always recommend.

Hands down the best place to get an Indian, eating in, taking away or delivery, the service is professional from start to finish and the food is always perfect and hot.

This indian is top draw. I moved to Horam last month and Heathfield curry houses didn't hit the spot. Rajdoot on the other hand is head and shoulders above the competition. Excellent flavours and quality meats. The owner and the team are very personable and I can't wait to eat in when covid restrictions ease further.

We've not been in Hailsham very long & hey, it is Valentines day, we like to support local businesses & eventually will try all the local cuisine in the Hailsham area. We love Tandooris too & have had many during our time in Reading. Signing into their app & ordering was easy enough altho I didn't expect the 99p service charge which you don't see until you're at the checkout. Also the prices were higher than were used too. The delivery was free which is great. The delivery turned up 5 mins early & the driver was very polite & friendly. The food was really delicious with generous portions & the poppadoms were very fresh and crispy, it's a firm favourite of ours now, we will be returning shortly.  It was really worth the price in the end. 👍🙂 Update: just had another take away, even better than the last one, very generous portions and arrived more than 20 minutes earlier than estimated. Well pleased 😁

Order took over 3 and a half hours, even as I post this it hasn’t arrived.

Get takeaways from here regularly and it's always tasty. Staff are helpful, friendly and happy to recommend food. Even got a free beer to drink while I waited once as the takeaway was delayed. I'll keep coming here regularly for the foreseeable, love it. Hopefully be able to dine in soon as well.

Freindy great food and very safe environment

Wonderful food, great friendly team.

The food here is amazing and the presentation is second to none. I have not seen Indian cuisine so beautifully presented. If you're looking for food that is something a bit special then I recommend Spice of Hailsham, although we are in Southampton we will definitely be coming back to Eastbourne soon!

Excellent meal ,great service and excellent value for money would highly recommend

Just had a magic takeaway, very quick polite service, from order to delivery. The food was excellent with a great variation of flavours. Would highly recommend.
