Rajput Restaurant in Hammersmith and Fulham

Bloody brilliant! Great and spicy authentic indian food. Affordable as Hell!

Unfortunate first experience at Rajput. I ordered via phone at 6.50pm for a takeaway and was told it would be ready for collection in 30-40 minutes. I arrived at Rajput at 7.30 and I was told “1 min the next order is yours”. I then went on to wait in the restaurant corner for over 40 minutes for my order to arrive! When I chased the manager, he did not even answer me. Food was mediocre and tailored to British rather than authentic Indian; and definitely not worth the wait . I can’t comment on the dine-in experience but I would strongly avoid take-away. Disappointing that the manager was so un-interested in my situation.

Amazing Food! Love it here. Can take a little bit of time to come (30-45 mins) but worth the wait!

Great food as always and fantastic service

Great food... generally busy. We normally get takeout and you can wait quite a while but it has always been worth it.

My partner and I found this restaurant around 2 years ago and even though we moved out of Shepherds Bush we keep coming back as it’s such a great restaurant! The food is the best and the price is so reasonable.

Dropped in with a couple of friends to avoid cooking, one evening in the gap between Xmas and New Year. The place was close to full with a large group (12 or so), having a reserved table We ordered a starter each and a variety of meat-free main dishes along with a vegetable biriyani and a plain nan. All the vegetarian dishes, chick peas, aloo gobi, mushroom, even the biriyani tasted exactly the same, a bit bland with no hit of flavour.

Ordered a meal for delivery. I was promised 1 hour. It arrived after 2 hours. Cold. I refused the order and the staff attitude was truly awful. I have been a regular at this restaurant for over 25 years so it’s disappointing. They should care that they have lost a loyal customer but they arnt. That’s a real shame.

Honestly they have become greedy. Far too busy. Took two hours to get our food. Never again and I’ve been a loyal customer for 23 years

Korma curry was great. Will visit again.

After a day of pubbage and watching QPR, we fell on this place like starving animals. They carved us out a space (as we hadn’t booked) and took great care of us. And the food (from a very traditional menu) was lovely - spicy and in generous portions. A happy find and one we’d return to.

Love this restaurant have been coming here since I was a little girl best Indian food in West London x

Great food. Bit slow serving but maybe cos a busy Saturday night.

A hidden gem in Shepherds Bush. BYOB with an off license next door! Small and intimate, the staff have been there for years, and the food is *chef's kiss* and affordable.

We went on a Thursday evening, 4 people, without reserve in advance. We had to wait a bit, because it was incredibly busy. The waitress was very kind, and the food was delicious!

Great Indian restaurant, food, service the works.

Only order takeaway here if you have plenty of time on your hands. Made an order and was told it would be 20 - 25 minutes. Say in sweltering restaurant with no bar for 50 minutes before it finally arrived

Great place to do an Indian meal. We were invited by friends. Owner gave us a really nice welcome and service and food were outstanding. A gem in london

always 5 ***** keep going like that my local indian restaurant

It was my first time at this Indian.unfotunately the waiter knocked my glass of red wine over went all over my new trousers. If he had apologised it would have been different but he said nothing. Spoilt the night if he had apologised it would have been different .never ate my food took it home.

sublime. lamb + spinach curry and the rice was so good . some of the best food ive had in a long time

Is there not mention 0 star otherwise I am going to rate this restaurant 0 star to the management LOOKS LIKE YOUR STAFF MEMBER ISN'T KEEN ON DINE-IN AND OFFERING GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. IF YOUR STAFF MEMBER IS OVERWHELMED WITH WORK THEN SHUT DOWN THE RESTAURANT

I took takeaway. Chicken Patia & Madras. But both of them wasn’t thick sauce & chicken were hard. Patia taste better than Madras though. Naan bread was soggy as well. It took an hour and 5 minutes to arrive! It’s too late to be sorry eating at 9pm! First and last time to order, sorry…

Delicious food, very pleasant staff. Would definitely come again. If I had one criticism it would be that the restaurant is extremely brightly lit.

Great indian food. Amazing and friendly service. Thank you.

Delicious food, reasonably priced, nice people

The platonic ideal of the Indian restaurant.

The food was so nice and price was very reasonable. Staff friendly and always there to help. Fast service will definitely be returning

Food is classic British - Indian and is well executed. On a busy evening we had to wait for an hour to get our food which was not great.

Amazing food, food value, nice staff x

Was a little taken back when we arrived, a little dated and quite noisy plus the bring your own beer might have put me off if I’d have realised but food was spot on. One of the nicest curries I’ve had for a while, chicken melted in your mouth and so flavoursome (to say I wasn’t even hungry I cleared my plate) an added bonus was it was extremely reasonably priced.

It is a very nice place they make you feel welcome and the food is magnificent, I will recommend this place

The best indian restaurant that I have ever visited in my life. The food was outstanding, the lamb super soft and tender, and the service was as if they can read our minds, always one step ahead. I will always come back here when i visit London.

We had a wonderful evening! The food was EXCELLENT! Never had Indian food this good. And I eat A LOT XD Also, the staff is super friendly! I would always come back again. Sadly I can only give 5 stars. I would give this place 10 stars!!!

Great place lovely staff and very friendly. Food is delicious 10/10

Petit resto sympa où nous avons très bien mangé pour un prix très abordable. Le serveur était gentil et à l'écoute. Je conseille le chicken tikka dansak.

Great food and very friendly and helpful staff. Would suggest that you pre-book as it gets very busy.

My *favourite* Indian in London. I have been coming here for 20+ years. Family run, delicious food and a bountiful menu. Every dish tastes distinct and they can cater to your preferred spice level or special additions... looking forward to my next visit

Definitely will be going here again first time this evening amazing food

Slow + slapdash service. Not good value for money. Very good carrot + coconut dip with good popadums. Bland onion bhaji, good prawn starter. Salmon main had little taste .Nice coconut ice cream came with plastic wrapping still on, tacky . Bottle of water not chilled enough. BYOB - Bring Your Own Bottle -as not licenced to sell alcohol. Outside tables. First time here, not coming back.

Delicious food. BYOB but that makes it even better value for money.

Their samosa, garlic naan and chicken tikka masala gave me a strong motivation to come back to eat. Staff are attentive and very polite. Bring your own bottle.

Old fashion place with amazing Food. Please bring your own alcohol policy which is amazing. No overpriced drinks. Service was very attentive as well. Happy!

food was excellent, friendly staff ,

Absolutely wonderful! This has been my second time visiting Rajput, after being introduced to it by a family member. Rajput is a wonderful neighborhood restaurant that you won't want to miss! Everything is tasty beyond belief - you could pick anything off the menu and be blown away! They also have lots of great vegetarian options as well!The staff are so incredibly kind and welcoming, which really makes eating here a wonderful experience. The prices are great too, you could easily grab dinner for yourself for under £20. The only thing I would warn someone about are the large portions, so you better come hungry! 🤤😉 Make sure to visit Rajput the next time you are near!

Excellent food, very nice service. We enjoyed our visit and will return.

The best Indian ever. Restaurant is small so can feel a little claustrophobic if full. However can't fault food and service. BYO wine and beer.

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Under £30 for two courses for 2 people, including sides. Bring your own bottle. Try sharing the Gosht Kalia lamb and Chicken Jalfrezi for pairing that’s all warm-glow spicy flavour heat and no burn. Cosy restaurant so book ahead to avoid disappointment.

Outstanding Indian. It's BYO and the food is 10/10. We eat in.

We have been coming here for the last 20 years and we would drive from Chelsea just to eat at this family ran restaurant. The taste is authentic as the food is made when ordered hence the slight long wait time. Not the typical Indian restaurant where food is made in advance. Well worth it and when they get busy I would pre-order for a take out. All members of the staff are friendly and on first name basis. Well worth the effort to eat here !

As reliably good as when it was my local in 1985-2000. I still like to return every year or so, even though it is well out of my way. Good food nice service.

A hidden gem, offering good food, at reasonable prices. £50 for 3 adults for dinner including soft drinks. Large menu with plenty of dishes to choose from. The manager is a really nice chap, keen to look after you. They don't serve alcohol, but allow you to bring your own or use the off licence next door.

Amazing place to have dinner and you can bring your own bottle of wine 🍷

I love the food at Rajput and the services is brilliant. You will noticed that they kept the prices very low.

Since our regular or 10 years - Chilies of Brackenbury - has sadly tanked of late, we have been auditioning other indian restaurants in the area. After our first tryout with Rajput, we may well settle here. Food was exceptional and only surpassed by the level of service. It was running late but - for the first time in my delivery curry experience - the restaurant called me to apologise, before I had a chance to chase. Even with the need for old-school ordering by phone, we will definately be eating from here again. And looking forward to eating in as well!

I have never ever been disappointed!! Raj Put is our absolute go-to!! The fact you can bring your own bottle is amazing! Especially with majestic across the road! We’ve eaten in and got take aways so many times and they’ve been insanely good every single time! I’ll never go anywhere else again.

We went to Rajput as a group of 20 for a work colleagues leaving do. The food was absolutely delicious, service was also fantastic. Food arrived on time with the right amount of spice. Its a private business and we wanted to support local rather than the big food chains.

Usually a delicious takeaway, hot and tasty but tonight it took a long time to arrive and it wasn’t so hot, maybe warm and also not very tasty. It seems as if they forgot my order and quickly put it together. Very disappointed tonight.

We had a takeaway for four people and it was delicious. Everything we ordered was hot and tasty

This traditional English-Indian Restaurant has been excellent for longer than most of its customers have been alive. At the weekend, it's vibrant with families and during the week it's quiet and gentle: the staff (family) will chat. The food is consistently top-notch, good range - lots of old favourites and house specialities are truly special. Service is, as a family-run place, personal and relaxed. 10/10 for the chutney dish! Excellent VFM. Great take-away, too. BYOB from the next door shop.

Friendly staff and good food. Would recommend

I haven't ever felt unwelcome like tonight in Rajput restaurant, we haven't booked so we walked in to see if we can eat . As soon we walk in ,they were sit there in very rude way , I asked for baby chair the waiter went to look he said I can not find one let me ask my manager, the manager was shouting no baby chair no. I was shocked i took my family and went out straight away. Very bad experience

Attention to detail. Dishes cooked to customers requirements. Nice balance of spices to each dish provides an authentic flavour. Have eaten in Michelin star restaurants but always return to Rajput for its outstanding food and amiable service .

The food here is consistently excellent. I do have a major gripe: it is the slowest Indian takeaway service in West London - regularly well over 1hr 30 mins to get it delivered. That said, it doesn't stop us going back again and again.

Visited Rajput for the first time and couldn’t have been more impressed. I had the vegetarian Indian Thali which came with lots of different little dishes - they were all delicious. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff very helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

A wounderful chance to experience the kind of service usually associated with very high end hotels or committed to by- gone days. The food sits in a tradition established in the 1970's. I say this affectionately and with respect. If you choose to look deeper into the menu there are some real authentic gems. The prices are very reasonable too with the option of BYO with no corkage charge. Give this delightful family restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed.

Good food and I don't think is expensive. Not insisting on taking more food that you can eat what is a relieve.

The best of the most delicious Indian food, not in many places in London will you find such authentic Indian taste and better than the food are the people, so helpful, friendly and accommodative..Cheers to Rabani and his colleagues 👍

Good to See You #Proud_to_be_Rajput

Excellent Indian cuisine in friendly, popular local restaurant which also does great takeaway food. No drinks licence so BYO.

Delicious classic Indian food prepared to requirements and served with a friendly smile! Found the two chilli heat rating quite mild so if you like it hot hot don't be afraid to ask for the extra kick! Naans were perfect crispy one side and fluffy on top stuffed to perfection. Plus the prawn Puri starter is JUST like my nan use to make -i will definitely be back very soon! Thank you for welcoming us.

Lovely food all cooked to perfection excellent service nice friendly people and very affordable prices I really enjoyed it

Recently discovered after being introduced to this restaurant by some of my friends who are also local to their area who have also commented of being loyal, longstanding and regular customers for almost a decade. Whilst I was treated to their food one evening on a special occasion for a big celebratory event as a foodie treat, I must admit it was one of the best Indian food I've had in years as often times they've fared quite mediocre and average at best from my past experiences! I can see why this family-ran formula and success has been working so well and look forward to coming back again in the near future.

The best food in West London, very delicious!

Super impressed from start to finish with the takeaway and the service we received. Absolutely delicious and highly recommended

Lovely food. We have been going here for years (apart from this year, where we've had several takeaways from them when possible).

This is a fantastic place for excellent food I eat here regularly and have never been let down by the quality of the food it’s a well run family restaurant and would recommend it to anyone 5 stars from me

Best Indian restaurant in west london. And bring your own booze allowed! Excellent

Bad food. Had requested for spicy food. They had recommended 2 vegetables. Both of them had tomato sauce and sweet base. I had strictly warned about my preferences to Hamza who took my order. Its worst food i ever had. Dont even prefer by mistake. We had to throw everything in the bin. Wasted 28.20£.

Food was amazing, very large portions and excellent quality. No complaints at all, staff were very friendly also

Food was absolutely amazing. Great service and left feeling very happy. Will definitely be returning in the future.

Delicious Indian food!! Amazing flavours and lovely atmosphere. I recommend the lamb rogan josh and tarka dall (with extra garlic). My family have been going here for 20+ years and still love it :)

This really is a special restaurant. The food is always fresh, delicious and just as a curry should be. The staff are so nice and welcoming - I could not recommend it more - it serves the best Indian food we have found in South West London . It is very reasonably priced as well and they are doing a marvellous job since they opened during Covid.

Excellent Service! Always welcoming and so well mannered! Proper table linen including napkins. Consistently delicious food at very reasonable prices! Do go and try for yourselves!

It's was so lovely the food and the staff was excellent and very friendly I'll bill was £100 and got it for £60 well worth it it

went for a curry Saturday with the family this is the best curry house i have been to Lovely staff Tony

Good food and nice ambience. Food times are a bit late, could be faster

Used to go to this restaurant a few years ago to collect our takeaways and always had a long wait. The food quality was the saving grace but that too went down hill so we stopped ordering from them. Fast forward to July 2020 giving benefit of the doubt I turned up to place a takeaway order and waited 45-50 minutes. Got home only to find out they'd given me the wrong order. Their response was "we make mistakes, human error " No apology offered, appalling customer service.I could go on but what would be the point,..

Great food, good value and big portions.

We ordered food 2 hrs ago and food still didn’t arrive, usually they always order it but this time nothing came, and we paid £40 odd for This food and have no clue how we are going to get our money back because they are closed now, not very good customer service

Excellent butter chicken massala and bhuna, chicken so tender and melted in the mouth. An hour wait but well worth it and at £19 for two this is a bargain.

Patiently waiting for the end of lockdown. Miss this fab restaurant so much.

Rajput has the worse takeaway service ever! We ordered a meal for two at 18.20pm on Saturday 16th May and it arrived 2h30 mins later, at 21.10pm!!! Absolutely terrible service! When the food arrived it was not that great either! Very very disappointed and we shall never order take away from there again!!

We have been going here for over 30 years. It is the best Indian food in London!

My husband's family 'discovered' Rajput years ago, and we've never had a curry to match it in London. Brilliant service, lovely staff and extremely tasty food - with just the right amount of heat! Takeaways also a cracking option - can't recommend enough.

Please open for takeaway during the lockdown. The other curry places are not as good!

Nice atmosphere, food taste's fresh , also priced very well, BYOB great idea .

The family has been coming here for 30 years and the food is always good. Friendly faces eating there and friendly faces serving there.

Had outstanding food and service here. The hariyali chicken was literally the best that I have had. Also noteworthy was the lamb bhuna and butter chicken. will definitely go back.

Worst dining experience I have ever had. We came here last week on a Wednesday and knew that this place offered frill-free good tasting food. We had been before just over a year ago and had no complaints. This time was all together different. We ordered a butter chicken main, having had this dish many times before at other restaurants. It was so sweet, it could have been a dessert. We were sceptical on seeing it, because it was so bright in colour. On this basis, we only tried a little bit of the sauce. Once we realised how sweet it was, we didn't want to eat any more. The manager came over to ask how the meal was. We told him that everything else we had ordered was delicious, apart from the butter chicken. Because it had not been described as sweet on the menu and because we only had a small amount, we asked that they take it off the bill. This is where the fun starts. He refused, saying it wasn't his problem that it was not to our taste and he definitely couldn't re-sell it. Sorry - you mean you're not going to flog our second hand butter chicken to the table behind us? Knock a pound off the price, surely they'll have it? At this point, he has armed crossed and in no particular order, claimed the following: We were full and had too many poppadoms which is why we didn't want the dish It was described as sweet on the menu (it wasn't) I had been in 3-4 weeks ago and complained (hadn't been in over a year as said above) He said if we wrote a bad review that was untrue, he would sue us (I laughed out loud at the point) This exchange lasted well over 15mins, to the point where it was embarrassing for us and him in a restaurant that was not empty. Only after another customer said that that the whole episode was ruining his evening and it was his first time at the restaurant, did he agree to take it off the bill. Frankly, we only persisted because of the succession of ludicrous lies he told about the product and us having been in there before, being full etc... It wasn't even about the dish in the end. I have never encountered such appalling customer service and will not be recommending anyone visit this restaurant. If you do go, don't order the butter chicken, or just smile and comply if you're asked how your meal is.
