The BEST Indian food in the whole of England, takes you straight back to India! Everytime I come to Preston I have to go to RK Dining for my Indian street food fix, from Dahi Puri, RK Special Dosa, Khaman Dhokla, to the crispy samosas and cheese balls. Their mithai is always so soft and fresh, and the Rose Falooda is strongly recommended!! Great service as always and friendly staff. If you haven’t already tried it, try it!

Amazing find, loads of fantastic and authentic food, clear spice & allergen labelling with a huge range of vegan options, including the only vegan jalebi I have seen. Definitely worth a visit, there's no parking in front, but two easily accessible public car parks round the back.

Many thanks to Ravi for his brilliant customer service in organising excellent food delivered from Preston to our event in Lancaster well in time, despite a last minute venue and date change at our end. We were kept updated promptly through the process from ordering to delivery. Food was delivered hot, in very convenient large containers and was praised by all attendees.

Some staff are lovely and so welcoming. Shame about the food. The Mysore Dhosa is just a Dhosa filled with pav bhaji not how a Mysore Dhosa should be. I was very disappointed as I was expecting to get a taste like in India. Curries are also very oily and blend. I brought mutter paneer and the was no panner inside all I got was peas maybe you might want to rename the dish. Khaman was very tough and dry and felt like it was made last week. Corners have been cut

Wow!! Are the new owners at RK?? Food has gone downhill. Not fresh at all it looks like they have batched cooked the food and then frozen it to be defrosted and warmed up in the microwave and served to customers. The khaman taste has also changed. Feel bad for the staff as they look over worked and miserable maybe help them out and hire some more staff. Prices are ridiculous compared to the quality of the product they offer. Please take a look and change things before everyone leaves!!!

I popped in a few weeks ago passing through Preston.

I've craved the Ras Malai so much since that today we did a 40 mile round trip to stock up on takeaway Indian desserts. The staff are amazing and so many things to choose from that I've not seen before. The staff are so happy to explain and offer tastes. I need to find time to stop and eat in. BTW. I'm no veggie, but didn't miss the meat. The food is so good it doesn't need it.

I really didn't like the combination. to be honest the food also tasted bad, had tummy issues after consumption. i always go for Masala dosa from RK which are great but this experiment on the Thali meal backfired. guess the restaurant should precisely mention whats on the thali on that particular day so that it's easy to decide. thanks

Inexpensive, cheerful, tasty vegetarian Indian dining, also with counter for Indian sweets and home-heat meals. Been a few times now. Mixed Indian/non Indian clientele. Can be busy but quite quick service. Menu includes South Indian, other Indian and so-called Indo Chinese dishes. You can get miscellaneous dosas, idlis, chaats. Dishes/courses arrive in no particular order but don't let that worry you. Usually several offers are available. Non alcoholic drinks only. Decor is basic but bright and often noisy with a friendly atmosphere and cheerful staff. Wipe-clean tables. Updated June 2024. Forgot to mention, food quality is excellent, especially the spectacular dosas and delicate pani puri. And expect to queue for a table at peak times. Also note: this is a tasty fast "street food" joint (and very good of its kind), not a fine-dining establishment, as reflected in the decor, size of space, informality of service etc.

Other snacks like fafda, mixtures available for purchase here.

So it’s been 3 years never been asked . I am not complaining but the shop should display something there so that nhs staffs are aware . I believe there will be lot of people like us who are not aware about discount . Anyway thanks to the staff who was at the desk yesterday for at least asking . Please don’t take it as a bad review or anything I just want to let you know at least to display nhs discount somewhere .Thanks for the wonderful food you always provide

The food is good but it takes a hell of a lot of time for them to serve it. the 1st time we visited them, we ordered few things from the menu and they forgot to bring masala dosa. We kept asking them how long is it gonna take and they said it's almost done. And at least we were told that they had not even started making anything yet. This was quite a bummer but other than that, every other time we go there, we have a good time. The food is good, the price is affordable. They serve really good veg food and also Indian sweets and namkeen snacks.

Niraj was absolutely amazing with understanding what we wanted and addressed all my queries with so much patience & sincerity. The staff at RK were super kind to help us arrange all the food in our car, food packaging was perfect and every little detail was taken care of including cutlery & napkins. I can't say enough how amazing the food was- everyone absolutely enjoyed all the food- methi bhajiya, Punjabi samosa, chutneys, veg kofta, paneer, Dal, Puri, rice, rasmalai & mung Dal halwa, they loved it all. The quantity was more than enough and every family was able to take some for them home which they enjoyed and appreciated. A huge thank you to Niraj, the chefs and all the staff who make sure that not only they serve fabulous food but take every order and customer very seriously and provide a terrific service.

Stopped by as we were shopping today with our young son and cannot rate the quality of the food highly enough. We lived in South East Asia for a number of years and this food certainly lived up to what we were missing. The beef rendang had so much flavour and the banana balls were a lovely way to finish it off (think deep fried banana bread for those new to Malay food). Absolutely recommend
