Just picked up our first takeaway from Rajni. Totally blown away. The flavours are intense and mouthwatering. King prawn Tawa a little spicy but bursting with flavour. Chicken tikka Methi exceeded my expectations and again full of complex flavours. The sauces are rich, the saag paneer is 1st class. Will defo be back.

Ordered online and thought we’d ordered 3 curries. Called up and it was our mistake. Regardless they delivered the third curry and wouldn’t take payment. This is going beyond what was expected and we are really impressed. Oh, and the food was delicious as always. Thanks so much!

If we’re going on food alone it was fine. But we were crammed in, the restaurant not following government guidance on table distance or mask wearing (most staff and customers were, but not all) When I politely asked that a couple were not seated less than a metre from us I was clearly clocked as trouble ( they tried to seat some other people less than a metre with no screens 10 mins later) Our food came quickly, swiftly followed by the bill, no offer of desert/coffe etc. It was obvious they wanted us out, so we obliged. A shame, I want to support local businesses, but I’ll support those who care more about their customers safety in future.

Today was the very first time we used Rajni, ordered online very easy and excellent! Was given a time to collect (thought I would collect rather than use the delivery..... I personally find it easier to do). Went to collect order, greated by very nice and friendly staff, came straight out with my order even gave me free popperdoms. Food was still very warm when got it home... Food was fantastic, very nice and very tasty!!! Will definitely be using Rajni again, well worth the money. Very happy!! Would recommend.

Rang for a takeaway - we were given an eta of 1hour 45 minutes which we accepted in current situation but that came and went. Rang for an update - told that they were busier than expected but our order would be with us in about 20 minutes which again came and went. Rang again - Manager didn’t know where the order was - somewhere in Derby!!! 2 and a half hours after we ordered rang again - still no idea when our order would arrive then miraculously a lady turned up at our door with something resembling our order!!! The food we received was average and not an experience we would want to repeat. A learning for this restaurant would be - don’t keep taking orders when you know that you can’t fulfill them - it is better to say ‘no’ than to fail customer expectations!!!

Went on a Saturday with friends, a table of 9 of us and ordered a variety of meals from the menu including Jalfrezi, Bhuna and the mixed grill and to a person we thought the food was very good and very flavoursome! The Staff were friendly and helpful throughout the evening.The added bonus with this restaurant is that it’s a bring your own alcoholic drinks venue, which means the price for the evening is considerably lower than restaurants that sell there own beer normality at around £4.50+ a pint, and with the co-op across the road open til 10 pm it’s ideal.

Have heard good reports about this venue but never been before. I love the fact it’s a ‘BYO’ drinks venue - makes life far simpler (& I am sure the local co-op does a roaring trade!!). The range of food on offer is great and of good quality and extremely well priced - from memory mains ranged from £6.95 through to £11.95. Service isn’t rushed which, for a big group, means there’s lots of time for chatter. The staff did sometimes appear to miss the ‘wave for attention’ but I think that’s due to how busy they are - it certainly didn’t deter from our enjoyment. Will definitely be returning!!

We now live in Ockbrook, which is joined to Borrowash which is the village where most shops and services are located. It is a very busy but pretty, buzzing little area where Rajni is situated. The owner and staff are very friendly and professional, my wife ordered garlic mushrooms as a starter, but she found the garlic too strong and tried passing it over to me. The head of house saw this and asked why she didn't eat it? Within minutes a new dish was presented with less garlic and was perfect. Every dish we had was exceptional, beautifully cooked, quality engredients in short I have never had better anywhere. The prices are really competitive, Monday, and Tuesday night's are even better value, 'bring your own alcohol' makes a huge difference to your bill, you can get your bottles from the co op opposite which seemed a popular arrangement. A beautiful meal for two with coffees cost just £37 is really affordable, I can see this being our regular restaurant for a long while.

Good curry, friendly service and reasonably priced. Never really had a bad one here which is good as it's the nearest to where we live. The mass Brian (fish curry) is a particular favourite and for a bit of spice the garlic chilli chicken warms things up. No alcohol licence so bring your own or just nip over to the local co-op for a huge selection. Service can be a bit slow sometimes, and breathing apparatus may be needed when they bring out some of the sizzling dishes, but it's not too bad. Try it.

We ordered food for pick up with a set time, my wife went to pick up the food, and was stood waiting for 25mins and was then sent home without food for it to be delivered, the excuse being that the health inspector was in so the chefs couldn't cook. It then didn't arrive so I called and complained and they promised 10mins. 25mins later I rang again and asked to speak to the manager, they said he was busy, I complained and they said "forget it, we're sending the money round because you're doing everyone's head in".

Debemos habernos sentado por 15 minutos si no más tiempo sin preguntarnos si nos gustaría incluso como una bebida!

Been here a number of times and always been welcomed and looked after with great service. Decor neither traditional or modern chic just a bit lacking and rundown. One loo serves all and can be a bit of an experience. Best part of meal was the starters which we all enjoyed but the main meals were so much of a let down. The biggest crime is that it just was not flavoursome curry. All 4 of us disappointed and the same over sweet onion base was used in all 4 curries though we ordered very different curries. So much more heat and spice was needed as all were bland and boring. Still craving a curry!

Never have we had a bad meal , the food is simply delicious . We have tried many dishes on the menu , last night I had a Chilli Chicken dish , the chicken just melted in the mouth , the flavours , amazing . We now go nowhere else for an Indian meal .We have tried just once because we had a voucher another in the vicinity , it could not beat The Rajni .

No problem we were not in a great hurry and with friend that we had not seen in years, So we sat and opened our own drinks and started chatting, We got our starter within 30 mins and our mains shortly after so no biggie with he delay.Food was great Price was stunning in a good way cant wait to go back

Sadly, for my friend's birthday celebrations last night, we witnessed the worst level of customer service I have ever seen.1. In the whole 3 hours we spent there, not one of the 16 people in our party was asked if they would like to order a soft drink.2. After waiting for 45 minutes, we had to ask 3 times for someone to come and take our order.3. Plates from the poppadoms course were not removed so that we had to eat our starters with dirty plates on the table (we actually started stacking the plates ourselves in the end).4. We were made to take very hot plates from the waiter and place them on the table ourselves as he wouldn't reach over.5. When they brought the main courses out, we were 3 meals short and instead if apologising, they blamed our party.6. It took 3 hours to get served two courses.7. Not once was anyone asked if the food was ok.8. They tried to charge us for 17 people when there were only 16 in the party.9. The waiter that served us for the majority of the evening was rude, patronising and aggressive.10. Despite none of us staying for the 4th course (it was 11pm by this time so coffee wasn't a good idea) and despite 4 members of the party not being able to eat their main courses, we were still charged the full price (which continues to be advertised wrongly on the restaurant window). All this resulted in my friend's birthday evening being ruined. If I could score this restaurant zero I would!If you want an Indian restaurant that serves top quality food and has waiting staff that are exemplary, go to Anoki - the best Indian restaurant in Derby by miles.

We arrived to celebrate a friends birthday. We were booked in at 8pm. We were virtually ignored for most of the evening, having to keep shouting the waiters over to get drinks and take our orders. It must have taken an hour just to get our poppadoms and a further long wait for our starters. The main course must have arrived around 10.15pm, over 2 hours after we'd arrived. If that wasn't bad enough then the waiters attitude was! He was rude, patronising and unapologetic. In fact the bad service could have been overlooked if he'd made more of an effort to apologise and put things right! We complained again at the end but the staff were not that bothered, boasting that their restaurant is always busy. What a joke of a place.

As a 'bring your own alcohol' restaurant we only pay for food. On a Monday and Tuesday there is a £9.95 set menu including poppadoms & pickles, starter (samosas, tandoori chicken, etc.), basic curry main courses and coffee. Very good value and enjoyable food. We have known the owner for years and he gives us and our friends a personal service. Not haute cuisine but the delicious specialist curries are available a la carte.

Booked in for a colleagues leaving do and was pleasantly surprised with excellent food and great service. I was quite frankly surprised to some negative comments as they staff are very friendly and attentive even though it was a very busy Friday night. Highly recommended and you should book in advance considering how busy they were.

Party of 16.originally booked for 7pm. Phoned and asked if we could arrive later. Told 8.45 not a problem. Turned up on time and had to wait, we were told they were sorting tables out. Bearing in mind we had given them an extra hour and 3/4 to prepare. Whilst waiting a gentleman told us he and his party had been waiting since 7 to be served their food. We went upstairs to our table, not enough seats, no glasses ,cutlery nothing on the table but table cloths. My son had to go downstairs to fetch glasses so we could drink the drinks we had taken ourselves as they have no drinks license. Eventually the popodoms and pickles came. Our main meals were ordered. the waiter chucked the cutlery at one of our friends and told her to pass them round. He was very rude so we decided to leave. They clearly can't accommodate large parties even with plenty of notice. Would not go there again or recommend it to anyone.

Food was tasteless and not very much of it.... Thank god. Will not be wasting my money here again! Very disappointed.I am contacting you in relation to a very unsatisfied evening I had at your restaurant last night. I and 3 of my friends attended your restaurant after purchasing 2 Groupon deals for a 2 course meal for 2 people (x2). We felt that we were not considered as valuable customers and we received horrific customer service throughout the night; The staff were very unclear and unhelpful when explaining the deal which resorted to us buying starters with us thinking that the starters were part of the '2 course deal' when they were not. AND GET ALCOHOL LICENSE

On the 21/08/2014 we visited...Despite reading some snobby comments from 10 pence millionaires pretending to be special. I can say this was honestly one of the best Indian meals I have had anywhere!!I like my fine dining but this really was superb food for superb value!!

We waited over an hour for our food which was poor when it turned up, it wasn't a very nice building either (cramped and bright). Sitting a listening to the staff talking about how much they hat their jobs didn't really fill us with confidence either. We won't be going back.

We visit Rajni's on a weekly basis either for a quiet night in the week or is excellent on a Friday/Saturday night with the Wilmot Arms only a very short walk away even though we do now need to book at the weekend but weekdays you can just walk in, I've never been a big curry fan but even for me there is plenty of choice with the brandy special being my favourite. They don't have a alcohol license which means you can take your own with you and so you only pay for your food (typically we have 4 poppadoms and pickle tray, 2 main dishes, rice, nan bread, chips and free coffee's at the end of the meal) which normally comes in between £20-£25 for us both. Clean, tidy and have good banter with all the waiters. Ideal

We visited the Rajni on Saturday night - our 3rd visit. Previously our curries have been superb, but sadly this time we did not enjoy them very much at all. I wonder if they have a different chef because both of our curries looked & tasted different to our previous times there. My Rogan Josh had a star annise & some whole cloves in it (unfortunately I have poor eye sight so I ate one clove before I realised there were some in it) - I feel these should have been removed before serving! My partner's chicken Balti contained very little chicken. This is such a shame, but we would like to know if they do have a different chef if he is there permanently because we wouldn't be returning if that is the case.

Today at 6.10pm I collected a "Shahi Rezzalla" also a rice,nan & mushroom bhaji & I must tell you this was the most bland oily dish we have had from here. There was very little chicken & must express totally tasteless which is a great shame as we have had good food from here. I called & spoke to a young man by the name of IQBAL ? who quickly disassociated himself & said he just helped out on Mondays ?? I just hope the RAJNI doesn't lose what it had because we have always had good food here so hopefully the management will sort this out & you never know might even reply to me ! Malc.

Lived in Borrowash for over 10 years and although Ranjni's has only been open 3 or 4 years - I had never been before. What a surprise, modern, clean, well appointed and a good welcome on arrival - good first impressions.Visited as a part of seven, booked in advance which was just as well a ground floor was full by 8pm (Saturday evening) and 1/3rd to half table on first floor also occupied.Staff we great and attentive but certainly not pushy to hurry and clear the table - we arrived at 7 and departed after 10pm.Food choice and quality was excellent and as the restaurant is not licenced to sell alcohol, you can bring your own - wines, beers tec and they will provide glasses etc. Soft drinks were available to purchase if required. Generall food prices were reasonable.Would I go again, absolutely and it wont be long.

We had a take-away again from here this week-end & I must say the quality of the food is very good if you eat in or take away. I like taking my own wine which is a bonus in its self. So please don't change management or staff & certainly not the chefs just stay as you are & we will remain loyal customers. Thank you.

Every time I visit here, which is often, the food just gets better and better. I cannot fault the service or the prices. Forget other Asian restaurants this is the best!

We continue to be pleased and highly satisfied by the quality of this restaurant. It provides absolutely excellent food at reasonable prices and the service is faultless. We had the chef's special dish, Pardesi - I had the lamb version, my wife had the chicken one. The two dishes were lovely.

Been pondering for awhile about visiting this restaurant after all the bad press its had. It turned out to be a good decision.The food was fantastic as were the staff.Bring your own booze helps reduce the cost,not that it is an expensive place to eat,We had the usual pompadoms & pickles 2 starters,2mains,1naan 1 rice & 1chips for less than£30.What more could one want.This will be my regular indian restaurant in the future,while they keep turning out food of this quality.All you doubters must give it a try.

We were so impressed with this restaurant that we had to go a second and third time just to see if it was as good as we first thought. It was! The proprietor welcomed us at the door and we had a simply stunning meal - great quality food, a bit different from a run-of-the-mill Indian. The service was excellent and we vowed to make this a regular haunt (even though we are 15 miles - 24 Km - away from there).

We were passing through Borrowash on our way north. Staying at a local campsite we wandered into the town and found this restaurant. It was closed to inside dining because of Covid and they were decorating ready to open. They stopped and chatted, really friendly and welcoming people. Take away was good, big portions and full of flavour. If we are ever back this way we would definitely go there again.

Had a wonderful meal that we really enjoyed here a couple of weeks ago, the food quality was incredible! I particularly recommend the chilli paneer starter. The flavour of the sauce was beautiful and the paneer itself was tender and much less 'rubbery' than what I've had at many other Indian restaurants. The naan bread was also delectable being the perfect combination of crispy on the outside with a fluffy centre. The only thing I'd say needs slight improvement is elements of the service, for example the staff had to go and check when it came to what drinks were available on a relatively quiet evening

Friendly and helpful staff. However, all stages of service slow. When it came however, the food was awesome!
