Rajpoot in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Wow. Normally when we are out of town exploring UK and just need a little home comforts we are always disappointed but this hit the spot. Amazing. Biryani, daal, naan, spring rolls and pilau. Everything was great we even ordered some food to take back to air BnB! Very impressed. Our son is special needs and they were very accommodating in seating us away from the big crowds for his comfort. Even he demolished his portion! Jubair our server this evening was very polite and made us feel very welcome. The wait time was not long even though restaurant was busy. Definitely recommend! ( Sorry no pics, got eaten way too quick)

Any South Indian in the st Ives .I do prefer here.. Nizami Chicken curry ...( Extra hot) Dal tarka ( extra hot) Pilau rice..must try items...

Very good Indian food in all its variations; I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone. There are no alcoholic beverages for sale at this restaurant, but you are encouraged to bring your own if you don't want to miss out. No joke, it's true 👍🏻 Soft drinks, etc. are, of course, available on site.

First time here. Staff are so lovely and polite. Service was perfect, nothing too much trouble, food was amazing and definately recommend

Literally nothing in the restaurant was even half decent taste except garlic naan and rice The curries were raw and half cooked, the staff were rude, and they didn’t even give a digitised bill when asked. Wouldn’t recommend it at all. Extremely disappointing

First of all they are using Indian name but actually are Bangladesh people running the place. One of the Bengali guy was quite rude and don’t know any way of talking. He should know this is not Bangladesh, it’s the United Kingdom. So behave like one. Good luck.

Very helpful staff and chef as I have some food allergies and they made me a delicious fresh meal. The Dahl was rather liquid, but very tastey and my husband's chicken was very good. The tables are rather packed in, but good music, clean and friendly.

Excellent food, great portion sizes and friendly service

Had the Nawabi green Ghusta. Amazing lamb dish.

Very welcoming, extremely satisfied with the food and service.

Good food and service. Bring your own beer was good. Good value for money. Nice atmosphere.

Fabulous food thanks so much, lovely staff

Terrible customer service, but food was great.

We tried their tawa here and was not disappointed. Extremely tasty and was very accommodating for our little baby.

Great evening here. Really enjoyed chicken balti and naan bread. Great service from Oli and the team

Of course we also wanted to try Indian cuisine in Cornwall. We ended up at Rajpoot on a recommendation and it was a very successful evening. The food was very, very good.

My mates dad loves the music, service was amazing and the atmosphere was electric

I had chicken tikka masala, onion fried rice and a garlic naan. The chicken tikka was creamy and absolutely delicious. It was not greasy at all and the chicken used was meaty, plentiful and cooked to perfection. The onion fried rice was not too wet and not too dry and nice and flavoursome and the naan bread was nice and garlicy (for lack of a better word) and not dripping with any kind of grease. This meal did not leave me feeling bloated and over full, it left me feeling disappointed I live so far away that this can't be my regular. The only thing I will say is the young lad was working overly hard to serve tables and deliver takeaway food. Maybe they need just an extra member of staff as I felt sorry for the poor chap who was still doing a very good job despite the pressure on him.

Food is not authentic Indian food. Service was okay but the restaurant is cramped.

Lovely little Indians, space isn't great your pushing past other tables to get to yours but it's fine once your sat down. (We were sat on the smaller side) And 3 of the four tables were taken. Food was beautiful, would highly recommend. Service was abit slow but food brought hot and all together. Bring your own alcohol works! We toke a bottle of wine and they supplied the glasses we did have to request a ice bucket but that personal choice. Would return and would recommend for sit down and take out.

The food was great, the service was very courteous and nice.

Fantastic authentic flavours , strongly recommend to anyone fancying an Indian dine on holiday!

Good biryani and tandoori chicken.

Amazing food and service. We stayed in st Ives for 5 days…we came here twice as it was so delicious.

Great food and service was amazing , deffo recommend

We discovered Rajpoot restaurant whilst on holiday in St Ives and so glad that we did. The starters and main courses were absolutely amazing, service great and very good atmosphere. We have eaten at a lot of Indian restaurants over the years and I have to say this is one of the best I have experienced.

Lovely food - staff were very attentive and happy to talk about the food on offer. I can highly recommend to anyone that fancies a nice meal out.

Good food and service but the toilets were a bit cramped.

Very nice friendly people and lovely food

Lovely curry after a long day walking!

All in all just great! There's nothing wrong with it. Being able to bring your own alcoholic drinks is a great solution! We'll definitely be back when we're in St Ives. Thank you for everything!

Prawn Tawa is incredible! Great service, lovely atmosphere.

Excellent food great flavour Good service

Absolutely excellent. Possibly the best Indian I’ve ever had! ordered the Tawa and Roshuni and both were exceptional. Fantastic service and great atmosphere

Ordered a takeaway from here. Absolutely delicious. I had the chicken tikka masala which was lovely! My family had the chicken tikka bhuna and chicken pathia and said they were gorgeous. Large pieces of tender chicken and lots of sauce. The peshwari naan was lovely. Definitely recommend. Please be aware they only accept cash for takeaways.

The food was very nice and delicious, service was perfect and atmosphere was great as always.

Nice and relaxed, no pressure to hurry us out, good food

Lovely food. Ice cold beer. Pleasant chat

Fantastic food, lovely staff. Thanks very much

We holiday in St.Ives every February and have in the previous 3 years booked and ate in the Rajpoot Indian Restaurant where each time we have had a superb meal, for my wife Vegetable Biriani and for myself Lamb Rogan Ghosh The Lamb Rogan Ghosh last year as in previous years was superb and the lamb was so soft and melted in your mouth and the flavours absolutely delightful and the same for my wife’s Vegetable Biriani which was also very flavoursome as in previous years and on leaving the restaurant last year we asked that our complements be passed onto the chef for the wonderful meals and in particular for my Rogan Ghosh that it was probably the best Lamb Rogan Ghosh that I’d ever eaten This year we booked for the 14th February at 6pm and we were the first customers in the restaurant We ordered the same meals as in previous years and with starters of popadoms and Onion Barji’s The main courses arrived together and for my wife’s Vegetable Biriani it was obvious that it was not as ordered as it had Prawns and Meat in it ( for my wife she is vegetarian and also doesn’t eat fish) She had clearly ordered a Vegetarian Biriani so with little apology from the member of staff she took both meals away About 10 minutes later they returned the meals and it was obvious for my wife’s meal they had just picked out the meat and prawns However we carried on with the meals and for my Lamb Rogan Ghosh the lamb was extremely tough and chewy and the meal lacked flavour other than for hot spices and was really not great at all By this time we decided to both leave our meals as they were not at all pleasant and being that we were by now running late for going to the nearby cinema where we’d booked to see a film We asked for the bill and there was no comment from the staff as to whether we’d enjoyed our meal , which was clearly obvious by the majority of the meals being left On being given the bill we were somewhat surprised to see a mandatory 10% service charge had been added ! On top of the poor meal, overnight and the next day we both suffered badly with ‘Delhi Belly’ Not sure if the chief / kitchen staff have changed but it’s a real shame that a much looked forward too meal was so poor We definitely won’t be returning without seeing a substantial and continued 5 star review comments in the future

Lovely food, we visit regularly and it's always 5 stars!

This has been our favourite Indian restaurant for years in St Ives. Great food, great service, good prices. BYOB as well so all the better!

We adore this wonderful restaurant and visit every time we are in St Ives - delicious

Lovely food and service. Highly recommend

Absolutely lovely food came here with my girlfriend ....great customer service 5**** very tasty 👌 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

Friendly staff, always tasty food. We asked for ours to come extra spicy!

Friendly staff. Chilli garlic chicken tawa absolutely delicious delicious. Overall a lovely experience.

Very nice food, friendly service, will definitely come again

Took me right back to my uni days in the Balti triangle in Birmingham what a gem to have in st Ives

Overall great. Highly recommend.

Lovely food and very friendly staff

Fantastic Indian restaurant with a varied menu choice. Would highly recommend only wish we had the Rajpoot local to where we live.

Rajpoot is in my opinion one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever eaten in and by far the best in Cornwall. The food is delicious, the service is 5 star and the location is lovely. I would highly recommend.

Visited on what must have been a busy evening. Food was fine although chicken a little rubbery. Soft drinks only were served as half pint and were very expensive. We had received the wrong drink on 2 occasions. They do not serve alcohol but you can bring your own. Our table was cramped in a corner next to the kitchen, and kept being bashed every time a staff member walked past! Probably wouldn’t return again but wasn’t awful. (Check your bill as they add on a 10% service charge!!! and service wasn’t worth it).

Had takeaway from here, all ok could only collect no delivery and couldn’t get through on the phone to preorder so had to wait 45 mins for food. (We went to Wetherspoons for a drink while we were waiting) food was ok £36 for 3 people but be warned you can only pay cash for takeaway no care at all (not sure why, when I asked no one knew the answer!?!) In response to the owners reply, having been a regular visitor to st ives for 29 years and at least 2/3 times a year this is the only time we have come across this, in fact just today we visited a shop in fore street that doesn’t accept cash just cards. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Great food, great service. Fully recommend.

Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had—super authentic! We were initially worried it might be toned down for English tastes, but it was full of flavor and absolutely delicious. I can’t remember the specific chicken dish we ordered, but it was fantastic, especially paired with warm naans. The crispy poppadoms were a perfect touch, along with fries and a beautiful mint sauce. I’d highly recommend this place!

Warm and friendly environment, food was great and service was spot on. Highly recommend.

Stunning restaurant...stunning food. Highly recommend

Great Service, great food, and definitely recommend Rajpoot's fantastic Tawa dishes

Great curry, melt in your mouth lamb, would come again.

Lovely flavours, big portions, great service and very friendly. Joined together with some family and had a fantastic evening.

Honestly the best curry down in Cornwall. Staff attentive but considerate to your evening out. Food delicious and consistent.. never fail to satisfy our treat night.

We booked a table for four and we were really impressed with the menu choice as well as the flavour and taste of the food - top notch , a big well done to the chef and the team . We will be back soon .

First time here and really enjoyed the food! Much better than expected and will be back again!

We come back every year and once again we had a wonderful meal. Actually, the food was outstanding. Absolutely delicious and the team so friendly - nothing was too much trouble. A lovely restaurant and staff. I highly recommend!

Visting St Ives picked up a menu in town .So glad I did ordered set meal for 2 changed one of the mains at no extra cost. Food was delivered to campsite it was spot on nice and hot flavours were amazing .Bombay aloo 5 star potato's were nice a soft not powdery .All in all great service right to the delivery driver .Thankyou

Service was very good. Reasonable curry but found the Shish kebab to be a little dry, but otherwise very nice. Chicken tasted superb, sauce amazing (Madras and Balti chicken). Naan bread very nice! Nice dinner, didn’t knock my socks off but still a worthy curry. Did find it was a little expensive considering the bill didn’t include drinks.

We’ve been coming here for years & it’s been really good, however our last visit the food was terrible, maybe they haven’t got a decent chef now, but it was just awful, I said as much to the waiter and he didn’t give a S##t, and I’ve heard from friends too that it’s great now.

Lovely BYOB curry with very efficient and kind service

Lovely fresh, traditional Indian food topped only by the fantastic service.

Fabulous food, restaurant empty so little or no atmosphere. £1 charge for bringing your own drinks!! Why??

Gorgeous food, lovely staff , totally recommend. See you soon Olid !

Great service, excellent food. Always love it.

Had a take away food was lovely very good portions was ready exactly when they said and was nice and hot oh and prices were very reasonable couldn't fault it it will be a sit down next time

Been coming here for many years, can’t fault the quality of the food or the service. Being able to BYO adds to the value of eating here. Keep it up guys.

Had a lovely curry and the staff where friendly

We have visited Rajpoot on numerous occasions and will continue to visit, wonderful food friendly service, absolutely superb.

Food delicious, very tasty. Tad on the expensive side for what we had, but like most places prices have had to increase. Portions not as generous as previous times. Staff friendly and attentive. Rajpoot is always our go to for a curry and we will definitely be back.

Rajpoot is always our go to for a curry. The food is always delicious and very tasty. We eat at the restaurant and order takeaways. On this occasion visited with a friend to eat in. Staff were friendly and attentive. Yes, a tad on the expensive side for what we had - but everywhere have had to put up their prices, unfortunately. I think the portions are slightly smaller, not so generous, but will see when we go again. Keep up the good work. Will definitely be back!

Our first night in st Ives Tuesday It was our best food. As it was so good we are going again Friday .Thanks again

My four word review: Death By Oil Skillet For full review including photos, see potato_world_and_beyond on Instagram!

Always delightful. Food and ambience excellent.

Absolutely exquisite food. We’d been coming to St Ives for 15 years and tried the restaurant for the first time tonight. I can’t believe it took us so long to try it. All the flavours were fantastic. Will definitely be back!!

It was not pocket friendly but rest everything was good

Forget the shown 3.8 rating ! Lovely food, great staff & nice setting. Will come again. 5*

Great food, excellent staff. Really well priced, a great choice for Indian food in St Ives.

Always a pleasure to eat here. There's a reason Raj Poot is still here after all these years when so many other restaurants have opened and closed. Food is always great and de chef will even manage special requests if you ask. Staff are fab. Thank you Raj Poot.

Wow! We have just moved to St Ives fairly recently and being worn out with the renovation ordered a meal to be delivered. The meal was delivered quickly and was piping hot. I must say it was the best Indian that we have had for a long time! We had the set meal for two and there was more than enough, in fact we saved some for the next day as we couldn't eat it all. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will certainly order again or even visit!

My favourite curry in st Ives always tasty

Food was delicious! Service was very good and attentive, nice atmosphere highly recommended 👍🏻

Amazing night as always, Jay and the team offer a very professional and friendly service..Would never go anywhere else..

Great service, lovely food. Eight of us got our meals all within a couple of minutes of each other, piping hot and delicious 👍

Fantastic as usual. Best curry ever.

Excellent food, reasonably priced with attentive service. We will be back. .

We had a fantastic meal here on a Tuesday evening. There were plenty of people there and a nice atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We had a variety of dishes between us and all were very tasty and perfectly spiced to our taste. We had a vegan in our group and she found plenty of options and very much enjoyed all of her dishes too. We like the byo aspect and just popped to the co op 1 minute walk away and bought beer and wine from the fridge.

Visited for a family occasion. Food was the best I've had for a VERY long time. The staff where extremely helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Really great service and food was lovely

Always great food and a lovely atmosphere. We are local and have been coming here for years.

Really good food and lovely staff! Nice cosy atmosphere and there is a sword on the wall! 🙃
