Rajinda Pradesh in Central Bedfordshire

Dined in with my partner on Tues 11 March at 8pm. Was greeted by Alex. He was wonderful and accommodating from the get go, was on top of everything to ensure our time here was nothing but exceptional. We had Amani take our order and serve us for the hour, she was wonderful to talk to and was happy to help when I had forgotten to add an additional side to our order. Thank you to Amani and Alex for an amazing evening, hospitality workers like this are hard to come by and should be proud! Couldn't be happier with how tonight went, would definitely recommend if you're planning a nice evening with your Significant Other.

Really good quality food in decent sized portions, slightly on the more expensive side but very different from the rest of the cuisines available on site so definitly recommend

Amazing food, one of the best curries we have ever had. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Our whole party was surprised how nice it was, especially after reading the reviews - really reccomend!

Great service pleasant staff. Food excellent top notch. Chicken Jalfrezi Chicken Chilli Balti Onion Bahjai Will be returning. As good as last visit.

Lovely food, Chloe, our waitress really looked after us.

Restaurant staff very welcoming and polite. Food was below par. We ordered poppadoms and the tasters sharing platter as a starter. We decided to cut our losses, quit at starters and depart as quickly as possible, went back to our rooms and made a fish finger sandwich instead which was miles better quality.

Lovely meal at rajinda - the poppadoms, naan and mains were lovely. All the staff super friendly, special mention to Abi who was our server.

Service very good, no complaints there. Drinks grossly overpriced, starters good value, poppadoms and the onion bhajis were tasty. Mains still tasted like jar sauces and very small for £18-20 each! Naan bread, I’ve no idea what’s going on here. It’s like they’ve not mixed it right or they don’t have a tandoor oven but something is off. Just flat and floury, drowned in butter to make it more appealing. The two stars is for good service. Again center parcs need to revisit this pricing scheme, it holds a family on holiday hostage to being ripped off. 4 adults and 2 toddlers came to £180. The same meal in a good Indian restaurant at home would come to about £90 maximum. The additional inflation just can’t be justified for mediocre food.

Absolutely Appalling – Don’t Ignore the vast amount of 1 star Reviews, Like We Did! If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. We made the terrible mistake of ignoring the bad reviews, and I honestly wish I could turn back time to save myself from this culinary disaster. The staff all seem lovely so I’m just not sure where it all has gone wrong. The food was completely flavourless—it tasted like it had been rinsed in water before being sent out. Every bite was an exercise in disappointment. The naan bread? Calling it “naan” is generous. It was more like raw dough slapped together and sent out without even seeing the inside of an oven. Absolutely inedible. The portions were mercifully small, but in this case, that was a blessing. Had there been more, I don’t think I’d have survived the ordeal. Save yourself the disappointment, the money, and the misery. There are far better options in Centre Parcs—literally anything else would be better than this. Avoid at all costs!

The butter chicken was beautifully tender and tasty and delicious and korma was very scrumptious the naan bread the ones we had were very yummy the staff were friendly very kind! They made sure the food was okay cant fault it

I thought the food was much better than the 2.5 stars given and thought they should get a boost!

Fantastic from start to finish.

This is the only review I have ever left because I was so disappointed by the food. Service and restaurant were decent and the only reason I gave 2 stars. The food is worse than any ready meal I have had.

This restaurant like most at Centerparcs are overpriced with extremely disappointing food. The staff were friendly but for 6 adults with main courses and a few starters cost nearly £300. The dishes cost £18.75 for most and were quite evidently microwaved meals and not freshly prepared. When you go to an Indian restaurant you expect to have that smell in the restaurant which this did not so just reaffirms the food is not freshly cooked in the kitchen. The meals came with a glaze over them just like a ready meal, were lacking flavour and texture and we were left disappointed and shocked at how food can be charged for at those prices when served like this.

Just had the takeaway option, honestly thought the bag of food was for one person, the portions were that small. Naan breads were tiny and under cooked, curries were bland. Cost a total of £90. Don't waste your money folks.

Here’s a polished version of your review: When staying at a well-established hospitality holiday community, a high level of attention to detail is expected. While the staff were friendly and the food was excellent, the cleanliness of the restaurant was disappointing. Dirty floors and uncleared tables created an unappealing environment and raised concerns about the overall hygiene, particularly in the kitchen. It was surprising to see such a lack of care in maintaining a well-presented dining area, especially as guests and staff continued to walk over visibly dirty floors. Given how much we enjoyed the food, we might consider opting for takeout during our next visit rather than dining in.

We read the reviews and were very apprehensive but as we had visited a year ago and loved it we decided to go ahead and try again. The server Sara was absolutely fantastic! Food was lovely and glad I didn’t trust the reviews we read!

First the positives, staff were very friendly and welcoming, we changed our booking 2 times on the day and they were very fine with it. Now, the bad parts, the poppadom sharing platter we ordered came out and in all of the Indian restaurants I've visited these were definitely the worst, they were cold and some were slightly stale. I ordered the madras curry, plain naan and plain rice, the madras tasted like tomato soup the flavour was so overpowering the only other thing I could taste was coriander, the naan was very underwhelming I'd compare it to a Tesco's one. My girlfriend ordered the korma which she said tasted of only cream and her gluten free naan was covered in gf flour that it felt like you just bit into a 100 year old book. Finally the cost was at least double of any Indian restaurant we've been to before. Won't be coming back.

One star for the lovely staff but oh my goodness the food is bad. Poppadoms and naan were nice but the veggie biriyani was so tasteless and the banana and ice cream chilli dessert is just some yellow ice cream with a cheap tasting chocolate sauce and a red chilli on the top. The lamb dish was ok but Indian food is delicious usually and I can’t quite understand how they have made it so generic and bland.

The only reason this gets 2 stars is because the staff were so friendly, welcoming and attentive. A real credit. The pappadam starter was good. The cocktails were tasty. The fried orca and onion bajiis were rather greasy. As our mains we ordered the vegetable biryani, vegetable tikka masala, pilau rice and naan bread. It was just awful, hospital food tastes better. Absolutely no flavour or spice. The rice tasted like bad cous cous and the naan bread tasted of flour. By far the worst curry we’ve ever had and inedible.

The curry’s were sweet… disappointed, probably the worst India I’ve ever had

Just ordered a takeaway from here to our lodge, food came very quickly but now we can understand why… korma was the most bland I have ever, tasted. Naan breads burnt, tiny dips… the negatives go on, it honestly tasted like it was out of a jar. We spent £90 and wish we went elsewhere no flavour at all and the chicken was tiny.

Didn't go in restraunt. Had the takeaway option. Was not good. Curries were lacking flavour. Honestly tasted like they came out of a jar. My madras wasn't spicy at all (my husband didn't think so either and he funds black pepper too hot). Rice was over cooked, and the garlic and cheese naan were tasteless. The chicken and the lamb was good quality and tender. But for £60 we were bitterly disappointed.

If I could give a negative point I would do so for the food. Tasteless, over cooked food. Simply boiled chiken with sauce on top. The cook needs to understand learn that chicken tikka Biryani is cooked in a special oven. Indian food is about spices and prep. What a horrible food we had tonight. I do not recommend any food from this outlet. The staff were nice.

The meat is gone off, not fresh. No sense of Indian food. Please avoid

I don’t understand the bad reviews - the food was very good and service was excellent. No complaints

King prawn biryani was delish! Great staff, good atmosphere and family friendly!

The room runners were great and could not do enough to help. The food on the other hand is terrible. The sauce was runny and had very little flavour. The naan bread was burnt and looked as if the bottom of the naan had been pulled off where it burnt. Avoid, order anything else possible. Going without food would be better than ordering from here

Based on previous reviews we were worried about the food but it is actually quite good (we were told there were all new chefs). While it is better it doesn't justify the price and it did take quite a while to come out.

This has to be the worse indian food in the UK.....

Lovely service from Leonie and manager also very attentive!

There is no way you can 0 star else I would have . They give you food out of Tesco packets and NAAN uncooked and bought from parc market . Pathetic

I can just about rate the food as we did manage to receive some poppadoms at the beginning of the evening, but the rest of the food was nowhere to be seen! We pre booked a table for 7.45pm, we were about 10 minutes early, but we were seated early (as our table was ready) and ordered food straight away, no food was seen by 8.30pm, I asked a waitress about our order, she said that they were short in the kitchen, so things were taking a little longer, but the food will be out ASAP, she gave us a drink on the house..... however, every other table had been receiving their meals before my husband and I! 8.50pm, the manageress informed us that the food is on its way, only a few more minutes..... again, every other table were receiving their meals (even the ones who came in after us). 9.10pm, still nothing for our table, but other tables continued to recieve their orders!! As my husband and I got up to leave, I sternly informed the waitress that I was NOT prepared to pay for anything tonight, the poppadoms or any drinks as I was disgusted at the wait, and that if they were short in the kitchen, they should've stopped taking bookings and orders!! I feel like we kept getting fobbed off, I absolutely hate this! If they had forgotten our order, own up to it! I still would've been annoyed, but i would've respected their honesty..... And, reading the previous reviews, it doesn't sound like we did miss much anyway!

Just avoid and go somewhere else like the Italian or American restaurants. This is not Indian food, and the timings are atrocious for what is definitely heated up food. One would expect everybody’s dinner to come out together and not 30mins apart. Shocking for the price you pay!

🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮 felt like a bushtucker trial eating this. Wished I had looked at the reviews before ordering!

Went here for a birthday meal. Starters were good but mains were definitely not authentic and tasted like that were out of a jar. 3 meals came out after we had all finished which they knocked off the bill but for the price you pay £16 for just a chicken korma then sides on top it was very very bad value. I don't know what the sauce was made out of but the Rogan Josh but was a brown grainy goo. Definitely mass produced and did taste like out of a jar although has better Curry's out of a jar. I would say save your money and go to maybe the sports bar as that food looked quite nice. On a positive the staff were lovely.

Wish we read the reviews before going! The food was very bland, tasteless and awful! The naan bread was like soggy pizza dough and bland! The rice was dry/crunchy which seemed like it had been sat there for hours. I paid £56.10 for two people and it was not worth that! But staff were so lovely, and the atmosphere was great!! Just a shame the food let our experience down

A harrowing culinary experience. The lamb sheekh kebab roll is an advertising standards war crime. The sharer platter was basically British tapas but worse. The biriyani was as the Sahara is to rivers. Dryer my jokes. Don't do it. Save yourselves!

Honestly , korma curry taste sour … I haven’t tried such korma 🤷🏽‍♂️ garlic and cheese naan bread was sooo chewy …

This is possibly the worst Indian I have ever eaten. I got the butter chicken curry and it looked like it was made by someone who had no idea what butter chicken was - the sauce was a brown, watery gravy with no flavour at all. It was inedible. The naan breads we ordered were completely black on the bottom. The tikka masala tasted like it had come out of a jar and the biriyani was bland. The rice was so dry that it was all stuck together in the box. Horrible food and hugely overpriced.

Worst curry I have ever had. No spice, flavour or anything you want from a curry.

Garlic naan tastes like a nail shop, tikka masala tastes like butter chicken, hair in our chicken korma and definitely not ours, naan severely undercooked. would never go again.

The worst Indian food I’ve ever had. These are pre-prepped meals they are serving. No flavour or spice. Staff were friendly. Avoid at all costs.

Tasted worst than the premix jars you get from Tesco!

On a positive note service was quite good and the decor was nice hence why I gave 2 stars and not 1. I don’t have anything good to say about our food though. Our curries were completely tasteless and had to ask for salt just to give it a bit of flavour. The portions were tiny and about the quality I can’t say that it was great. On top of that the rice was undercooked and quite hard. For every restaurant I’d except something out of the three, either quality or quantity or flavour but they had neither! On top of that each curry was £15-18!! This is an extortionate amount for what they offer. At the time of my review their average score is 2.7 and I would say it is generous. AVOID!!!

The food is pathetic, These people are fraud , selling tasteless and stale ready to eat food . Please avoid ordering from this restaurant .

Ordered for takeaway. Was expensive for what we got. Food was poor to be honest. We Wished we bought microwave meals from the shop instead for a 1/4 of the price! Avoid!

Expensive for what you get. I asked for a Jalfrezi and got something very mild, even with the added green chilli on top (which I ate whole to no detrimental effect). Not impressed by the food but the staff were excellent and very helpful.

Avoid! Feel like you are being fleeced here. £18 for curry alone + rice + naan, which clearly isn’t fresh took - 3 mins to come out - essentially a microwave meal. 6 pieces of lamb in it. Service charge added on. They had us in and out in 45 mins. Really poor experience.

Ordered takeaway via Restaurant Runner, delivery service was good. However food was very poor - Biryani was just vegetable rice with no accompanying curry sauce, naan breads were raw, and portion sizes were pathetic. Extremely disappointed, especially considering enjoyable takeaway from elsewhere in Woburn in the past. Cannot recommend at all. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Just been for a meal here. First thing to say, ignore previous reviews, make your own mind up. The service, the food, the atmosphere was all first class. We had various dishes, from the balti to the ‘black dhal’, was all delicious. The service was prompt, polite and friendly. The food arrived in a timely fashion and was hot and fresh. The onion bhaji was actually one of the best I’ve ever had! Thank you to Beth our waitress for excellent, friendly service. From Lee and Lindsey in Room #27.

Bang average, so poor, overpriced, no flavour. Small portions.

Great service, Great tasty food! I have never had a bad meal here especially with the traditional dishes ! and price wise your in a center parcs restaurant it is what it is!!

Lovely atmosphere and service very good but sadly the food was the worst indian meal we have ever had. The naan bread was stodgy, doughy and chewy and both our main meals tasted odd. My husband got balti which tasted nothing like balti and i had chicken tikka masala which didnt taste right either. The whole experience was a huge disappointment.

Nice restaurant, but shame about the food it's not really what I would call good Indian cuisine. The dish I ordered was very sweet and didn't really taste any spices, Indian food from a packet is the best way to describe the flavour.

The waiters were lovely. However, the food was awful. Our onion bhajis came out raw and they didn’t taste very good. The mains weren’t better by much. This is the worst Indian food I’ve had. I saw the reviews previously and thought the only reviews people leave are bad ones and I’d give it the benefit of doubt, don’t recommend. Try next door instead lovely food there.

Really lovely decor overlooking the trees 🌳 service was fantastic. But......the food was sooo disappointing! I would say it was on the same level as a wetherspoons curry. Such a shame as the staff are lovely.

Excellent food and service 10/10 👌.

Only good thing is the view and ambience that’s it. Taste: 1/10 or even less if I am honest. Bryani is an insult to what the Bryani India/pakistan famous for. Chicken tikka curry and korma but tasteless seems as chef has never heard about the spices Indian foods are known for. Peshwari Naan is the worst I have tried anywhere. Garlic naan was relatively better. Certainly not the worth the price. To make it worse they charged in err the chocolate brownie for 4 times in the bill rather than twice which although they refunded but only after my wife went through the bill so watch out for what you are being charged in the bill.

Doesn’t deserve its current rating. Staff were really pleasant and attentive, food was fresh and tasty, enjoyed our table of 12.

A meal was mediocre, and that was being generous. It was overpriced, lots of sauce, but very little meat or vegetables. When we ordered. They run out of Tandoori chicken. We thought it was a Tandoori restaurant! The best you could say about the meal was it was hot

Very friendly and efficient staff. Food is good but not amazing. Slightly overpriced. The curries are all halal

The service was good, the food literally tasted like it’s from a jar. 18£ for this curry with 4 pcs of chicken way too much.

Pretty sure I’ve had a curry from the supermarket that was exactly the same as a curry from here. Not good at all for the price

-Highly priced -Very disappointing vegetarian options. -None of the staff has any knowledge of Indian food -they don’t know how to make a simple lemonade! -extremely slowly service -horrible taste of food

Very expensive supermarket curry

The biryani was sour in taste and the rice was just soft and mushy. I would not order here again especially at £13.50.

AVOID! Extortionate prices, very little choice, terrible quality. Chicken is dry. Centre parks has really gone downhill in terms of food. You will be disappointed.

AVOID! The worst Indian food ever. We ordered 3 adult meals and 2 children’s meals. The korma and balti both bland and tasted like microwave curries from Tesco. Kids meals were average. I ordered lamb chops which actually tasted nice until the 3rd one which was barely cooked! Poor girl I complained didn’t know what to do, said she’d speak to the manager - needless to say no manager came over to see us - which in itself speaks volumes. Was told the drinks were delayed due to waiting on the ice machine, had to point out we had asked for no ice in our drinks. Horrendous. They deducted the amount for 2 meals - not going to lie I’m annoyed we had to pay anything for this awful experience. Came back to the lodge and made sandwiches!

Good Indian food with a nice view out of the restaurant. Good service and a nice atmosphere, just a shame about the children glued to their screens with the volume very loud! Also, a bottle of Stowford Press was £5.75 which is a lot.

The curry tasted like a Tesco frozen curry heated in an oven. The Naan was disproportionally huge compared to the amount of curry provided. The prices were ridiculous. The only good thing was the poppadum platter. Avoid.

I would not waste your money. Ordered this as a takeaway on my birthday as a treat and was really disappointed. The chicken tikka was dry and flavourless and the curry tasted just like a microwaved ready meal. I should have bought an indian meal in for 2 from M&S with us.

Just wanted to say that Jake was so lovely this evening. Nothing seemed too much effort and he went above and beyond to cater to our tables needs. Really lovely person and genuinely really lovely, made the meal.

Excellent Indian food, yes it is expensive but the quality is worth it, left there full and satisfied. Poppadoms are a great sharing starter

The quick version is: The food is terrible, and it costs ridiculous prices. I mean really the worst curry I've had, clearly the person cooking this doesn't know how to make a curry, and to top it off, you're paying 15-19 pounds for it. No where else except somewhere with a captive audience would you find a restaurant charging such prices for the food. It simply wouldn't survive out of centre parcs. If you're wondering why this is still the case after years of 1 star reviews, it's because people will still come here, and the company that owns centre parcs couldn't care less. If you're interested the company that owns centre parcs is an American investment firm in new York called BlackStone Inc. that earns 12 billion pounds a year, so no wonder they couldn't give a toss about your chicken korma. Funnily enough, they have a decorative wall full of spices in the back (picture attached), I wonder when the chef will figure out they were meant for the food.

We were looking forward to this meal all day, but were left sorely disappointed. This is without a doubt, the WORST CURRY we’ve ever tasted. I had a packet curry from Aldi that tasted fantastic compared with anything we were served this evening. And £15-20 for a small bowl of curry, without bread or rice - that makes it around double the cost of the average Indian curry restaurant in London. Blatantly fleecing a captive audience is what this is. Do yourselves a favour and avoid these clowns at all costs. The only people laughing are Centerparks. All the way to the bank.

Very expensive for easily the worst curry I’ve had in my life.

Just got back from a long weekend . Had to write this review to hopefully stop other people wasting their money like we did. £100 plus 8 of us all had a different dish . And all 8 dishes were like they were out of a microwave or a packet mix . Have eating before at the longleat park last year and that was authentic and had flavour . Please don’t waste your money here like we did

Awful food. I mean absolutely "awful" Overpriced. Also included was a 7.5% service charge, which annoyingly we had to pay because of the Amazingly lovely staff who we didn't want to suffer!

Ordered takeaway from here to our lodge, was completely inedible, straight in the bin. Waste of £50

I don’t normally leave reviews but this experience justifies it! We were looking forward to the curry all day, yet left massively disappointed. The prices are extortionate and well above the going rate for curry - I wouldn’t mind this had I left feeling I’d had the best curry of my life! But sadly this was not the case. To echo other reviews, the food was far from authentic and most likely microwaved - very bland, luke warm, and unimpressive. I’d highly recommend avoiding this until the quality of food and service aligns better with the price - for now it’s absolutely not worth the money.

I’m surprised I did not get a bit of plastic in my curry from the microwave job it clearly was. Disgusting prices ; my curry looked the same and tasted the same as two other types . Least from authentic yet double the cost of every other Indian in the country. Service also, awful!

Gave a 2 Purley for the naan bread. Garlic naan was slightly above average so 100 times better than the curry. It tasted like a microwave meal and I don't think I'd be far wrong. Needless to say I won't have another takeaway from there.

Had a fun packed day and decided to order to the lodge. What a disappointment, ordered three different dishes which were exactly the same boiled chicken in a curried sauce.

Excellent food... Evening was really well done! This was made even better by our waitress Becky, in who was delightful in her approach, serving with a smile and giving our family a warm experience!

Easily some of the worst Indian food I’ve had in my life.

We ordered take-away. The food seemed tasty and fresh, and good portion sizes. Whilst definitely not the most premium food, everyone seemed happy! But literally twice the price of equivalent quality of food from most decent Indian take-aways in central London, for example. Pay this much in London and you'd get something seriously special. That stung a bit. Should be a cheaper price for take-away, at least.

An amazing experience! Superb friendly staff and gorgeous food.

I was Truly let down with the food at center parc Woburn. The curries tasted very bland as if they have just come out of a jar. No flavour what so ever. The lamb biryani was a slop of mushy rice. How this food was served truly baffled me and my family. The prices were ridiculous. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Such a disappointment. I can’t believe there was a chef behind this food, I would be ashamed to have my name associated with this restaurant. I don’t even want to give this a one star but it won’t let me post my review otherwise. The only good thing was we’re the serving staff. They were extremely polite and kind but I felt sorry for them to have to serve this food. Honestly, there is nothing positive to say. The worst ‘so called curry’ we have ever had!!

Terrible food. Misleading by saying it’s authentic made from Indian ingredients. It’s not. Worst Indian have had.

The food was in small portions it takes forever to be prepared and when the food had finally arrived it was horrible, undercooked, strange taste, super bad quality, save your money.

Astonished, easily the worst Indian I've ever had. £15 for what was essentially a supermarket microwave meal curry in both quality and portion size - and asimilar experience for the rest of the meal. I also think the yoghurt served with poppadoms was starting to turn... I hesitated giving this a higher rating as the service was good, I can't fault any of the staff (and tipped them as such) but this was an extremely disappointing eating experience and deserves the rating. Avoid.

The food was really bland and tasted nothing like authentic Indian food , not even close to it , and the portions are really small, totally not worth the booking or the money 👎🏽

Food was pretty dire. Not authentic at all. Dishes which are normally dry dishes cane slopped with a nondescript sauce - the saag aloo was like no saag I've ever come across before. Plus it was over priced. Seemed like every dish was warmed in a microwave. The rice was dry and grainy. The portions were small. There was no sign on mushroom in the mushroom pilau. The staff were, however, nice.

We ordered a take-away to our lodge, although pricey was well worth it. Food was excellent and cooked perfectly. Overall one of the best Indian take-aways I've ever had. Much better than the food in Elveden.

The staff were excellent the popadoms were edible nice place, we realise the food is shipped in from a central location but we feel that most supermarkets provide better quality curry meals and at a fraction of the price, the lamb in my lamb madras was well cooked as was the chicken in my wife’s rogan Josh but the sauces were a complete let down. I wouldn’t use again

Over priced tasteless so called Indian food.

We visit Woburn Center Parcs every year and its become a bit of a tradition to go to Rajinda's for our Thursday evening meal (our last night) - it is expensive hence only 4 stars but we haven't had a bad meal there. Really don't understand why it's got such a low score. We will continue to go!

The restaurant was in a nice place, with nice decorations. The stuff were friendly, the service was good and the food was delicious except the shrimp biryani, it was below our expectations, as it was tasteless. The samosa and the chicken tikka masala were so tasty and the level of the spice was balanced. The prices were reasonable. Worth to try.

Probably the worst food I have ever tasted, avoid at all costs
