The Dilraj in South Ribble

Ordered food no taste under cooked

Best Indian takeaway in Leyland! It’s actually embarrassing how many times I’ve ordered and the food is great every time. They even got concerned and called when I didn’t order enough rice. 🥹

Gave this place a miss for about a year now as was going down hill thought I’d give it another try and wow the best curry I’ve ever had will be going back in future if the curry’s are as good this every time.

Easily my favourite Indian takeaway in the area, the midweek deal is an absolute steal but the prices are very reasonable anyways. The chicken Tikka is absolutely spot on, have tried it in a bunch of their curries and am yet to be disappointed. Their garlic chilli naan is also delicious, and can't recommend the mixed starters enough. Really good quality and good prices.

Absolutely delicious curry. I've been here the last 3 Curry's I've ordered, everyone has been absolutely spot on. Quick delivery too today's A (sat eve) was 15 mins early. Definitely our go to Indian 5*

I ordered a kebab roll which he charges me £8 one bite absolutely disgusting walked in shop told him throw this in the been you’ve just ripped me off avoid this stink of a place

Ordered a lamb curry gt a vegetable one paid nearly 20pounds it was disgusting one of the worst places av ever come across they didn't even offer to giv anything else definitely will never come here again

Agree with the other 2 most recent reviews, this place has been my families go to Indian restaurant for years, back when the food was delicious honestly the best Indian food we had ever had now since covid has happened they seem to have been on a slow decline since re opening but now I think they're at their all time low. It's very sad but unfortunately it's too much of a gamble now to spend money here never knowing what quality you're going to get. My most recent order has been the final one we were just too disappointed with it. I understand that covid has affected lots of businesses and maybe its part of the reason but I hope they can get back to where they used to be and hopefully we can all enjoy the food once again.

Top notch food tonight, love the chilli paneer and also the dhal. Expected food to be delayed because of the football / being busy but arrived within the time slot I was told. Very happy 👍

Flavourful food! The chilli paneer had just the right amount of heat. Everyone was very pleased with all the dishes.

This place has no consistency in quality of food. Sometimes really nice, others absolutely terrible. Tonight’s was terrible. Ordered a madras that tasted like it was the base curry and they’d forget to add in the spices that make it a madras, and the garlic naan was so soggy dripping in garlic oil it was breaking apart in a mushy mess. Most of the order went in the bin. This place years ago was the best in Leyland but over the last 18 months it’s been bad far more than good.

Avoid this place at all costs. Food was awful. Hairs in the curry. Rice had mould on it. Rang up and was just given abuse, reporting to trading standards and food hygiene

Great taste, ready for collection on time. Will be returning

Thank you for the great service

Really good and fresh food. Delivered quickly and still hot.

Very generous portions especially on the starters and vegetable dishes. Delivery driver was quick

Was very good, me and my son enjoyed the meal, not a single complaint from my son, very unusual for him.

Food was lovely as always and delivered very quickly!

Food was quality, decent portions for the set meals just what we were after thank you!

Excellent as always we got a set meal for one and there was plenty for two

Arrived very early, over 40 mins early. Food not overly warm and a little bland but lovely fresh ingredients . Driver was very unfriendly.

love the tasty food from here. thankyou!

Best Indian takeout in Leyland. Very tasty, next visit tonight, looking forward to it 😜

Love the food, the clearly take a lot of pride in making sure it tastes good and you get plenty of meat!!!

Food quality was excellent and there was plenty of it.

Not happy we ordered 3 mango chutney but one came not happy !!! and we paid for it !!!

incredible food as always! swift delivery, super tasty and fresh ☺️

Lovely meal, all prepared fresh and tasted delicious thank you!

Great food and arrived early so extra Great! Will be ordering again!

Always fresh, Always great value on the set meal for one, it is always enough food to feed 3 people. Good scran. Naan breads are lovely. Thanku

Couldn't fault. Everything spot on. Would recommend.

Very good service but lacking in terms of amount of chicken in the portions. Also far to much onions compared to the rest of the dish. It was all very nice in terms of food quality and taste but shame the over excessive onions and lack of chicken lowered the overall score.

Great food, great service and always reliable. Very competitive price and very decent portions. Great curry house!

delivered early, thank you . meal for one, too much food 😊

Always order from here. Best curry I’ve found in a long time. I’d say slightly more expensive than some but food is always really nice and piping hot

Food was okay- delivery driver let them too was very impatient and rude.

Its verry good specialist for curry and nan as well

Amazing, beautiful, tasty food as always! The lamb tikka is amazing!

Good quality food, delivered on time and piping hot 5*****

Very nice food, delivered on time

Lovely food from Dil Raj last night (31/12/23) for New Year's Eve. We collected. It was all in there, nothing missing. It was nice and hot. Chicken tikka masala, chicken tikka bhuna, chicken tikka madras, mushroom rice, garlic naan, garlic keema naan, poppadoms and chutney trays. Everything tasted delicious. It was a fantastic meal. We would order from them again. I had the madras which was nice and spicy but manageable. Thank you, Dil Raj! Well done and we will be coming back for more!

Food never fails to impress from here.Drivers are always friendly and polite. Highly recommended.

Ordered from Dilraj pleanty of times now and never had a bad meal. Sensible prices and the food is always good and hot.

Definitely the best Indian food I've had in the Leyland area, I've tried a few, but when it comes to consistency, the DilRaj never lets you down. I wouldn't even consider using any other. More spice, less price!

Great food and great delivery service!

Rapid delivery, tasty food, complimentary couple of papadums. Will order again in future

The meal was really nice and we will order again. We didn't appreciate the delivery man walking across the lawn though when there is a pathway!

Yummy and freshly cooked as usual

Always excellent food and service.. consistently good 👍🏻

Didn't deliver the drinks we ordered and accused us of lying then asked us to pick the drinks up not good when you've paid for them

We forgot how good dil raj is it was fantastic beautiful food fresh and tasty

Ordered a mixed tikka, paid the higher price for a mixed tikka, unfortunately got chicken tikka. Apart from that, rest of the food was good.

Unfortunately forgot the Pilau Rice, but came back to deliver it, however would of expected a complimentary onion baaji or something to apologise

Two naans missing and no sauce came with the main . Very dissatisfied. Would not use them again.

Gorgeous, hot food, best Dansak I’ve tasted for a long time, can’t go wrong with the tikka masala too. Definitely be ordering again soon.

Been to this place for years and last two weeks the food was very poor (disgusting). Rang to make my notions known and was welcomed with the phone being put down on me. Avoid!

Recently passing through the area and decided to give this takeaway a try. Ordered directly through their page with a 20 minutes wait time. Immediately received an email confirming the order. Chose the vegetarian banquet for 2, which consisted of onion, chutney , yoghurt starters, 2 x poppadoms, Naan bread, onion bhaji's and vegetable samosa's. Main courses are Vegetable Korma, Mushroom Bhuna , Aloo Gobi potatoes. All come with 1 x large portion of boiled rice. As promised & 20 minutes later, the order was ready. The takeaway is clean with friendly staff. So much food it lasted us for 2 evening meals...not bad for a total of £20! Each curry was perfectly cooked, could not fault them. Very tasty and fresh. The 2nd night we added our own rice and poppadoms to make a more than adequate meal. Will certainly use this place again and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to give the Dil Raj a try. They certainly provide great customer satisfaction and very tasty food. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! THANK YOU TO THE DIL RAJ STAFF & CHEFS!

Great food as always! Many thanks 😄

Food amazing 👏 loved it all. First time here and will be back. Thank you 😊

food was horrible with lots of garlic in biriyani. it is not authentic. starters were burnt with too much of salt in seek kabab.will never order again from this restaurant. please do not try new things on customers

good . but 2 rice would be better.

Food was bang on. Will be back again

Absolutely delicious!! I’ve not had a takeaway so good in such a long time

Amazing can’t fault it really nice

Nan bread burnt and only 6 pieces of chicken in the currys. Taste was good thougjh

Great food, one of the kids meals was missing and I couldn't contact the restaurant as the line was constantly busy but luckily someone realised and came out to deliver it which was great

I do not lick my plate.... but wow 👌 amazing. Got to be the best Indian I've had. Will be ordering from here for the foreseeable future 🙌 5 stars.

Food was bang on, would defo order from here again

There was hardly any chicken in the chicken tikka masala and it tasted salty

This came recommended to us. We went for the starter sharer although that was a little underwhelming but the main food was lovely and would definitely order again but just mains or a different starter next time.

Always delicious food. Good delivery with pleasant driver.

My nephew got a Madras curry and rice and extras he sent the curry for me with my sister I live in Preston , it was absolutely delicious Iwould recommended it , there was plenty of two

Best Indian we’ve had in a long time, everything hot and lots of flavour!

Oh my days, that was incredible. Just ordered from here & it was amazingly good. The quality of the food was just outstanding, every mouth full was extremely enjoyable & the flavours have blown my mind. I will be ordering from here again for sure. Wow 😍 Thank you chefs at Dilraj Leyland 😍

Ordered the set meal for 1. Amazing value for money, everything was hot, fresh, and really tasty! Will be back

Arrived piping hot and all so tasty.

Always get a vindaloo from Dilrah and normally a nice curry from here but tonight I ordered a chicken vindaloo and it tasted like the heat for the curry came out of a bottle of Mad Dog 365 pepper sauce. The strength of pepper taste was overwhelmingly powerful. No taste apart from intense spice heat & pepper. Went in the bin.

Very average. Ordered the chutney tray which was not in the order. Found the food bland. Will not be ordering from here again

Lacking flavour in the curry and everything was cold. Deeply disappointed today

Our favourite. Always wonderful. Would recommend xx

Fantastic food.. fast delivery.. always consistent providing a quality take away

Burnt keema literally black went in the bin with lamb madras that tasted like a bottle of lemon was poured in usually are meals ate lovely was disappointed

Koma was bland, garlic Nan bread was full of grease. plan B was like you’ve just got it out of a ready made meal from Aldi out of the £25 only thing that was good from it was your plastic Tupperware won’t be ordering from you again

absolutely fabulous. outstanding food!

Absolutely delicious food. Every single dish was absolutely top notch. Well done and thanks! 😃👍

Great food. Beautiful flavours. My husband’s need for Phaal hot on his vindaloo absolutely bang on. Will continue to order.

excellent food . definitely come here again@

Not had a curry for a while so really looking forward to this, as last time about 12 months ago really good. Unfortunately we were so disappointed the curry was really oily with lots of veg and not much chicken, also was described as hot but it was mild. What a shame ☹️

Great service, disappointing content, if a passanda and korma have an identical sauce you have a problem

Lovely food but a little cool. Had to be warmed up to eat.

Fantastic food as always. Nice and hot. The best chilli masala around 😋

Waited over hour and a half for my order delivery driver turns up and says they sent him with wrong order will be another 15 minutes for another driver to bring my order

Fantastic food tonight, first time trying this place out and I wasn’t disappointed! Excellent all round , will definitely order again.

Food was really nice good value for money and arrived early bonus

We order from them almost weekly. We ordered at 7:15 pm, the website said time of deliver 8:15. At 8:45 I rang them and they said and it was on its way. They are only 10 minutes from us. It’s now 9:15 and it’s still not here! Two hours after we ordered it. Rang them again and they said it would be here any minute. They were completely unapologetic. I couldn’t believe how rude they were. We asked them for a partial refund and he point blank refused and said two hours is fine. Two hours wait is ridiculous. Last time we ever order from them! They lost brilliant customers tonight.

Food was on time, but tikka masala was missing from the order. Rang but got no answer so had to go out to collect. Bombay Potato’s were mixed with cauliflower which wasn’t what I ordered. Friday night so they were busy so you can allow a mistake.

Ordered for delivery, after around 45 minutes i rang to see how long my order was going to be. to be told it had been made and was waiting for the delivery driver. 5 minutes later i got a phone call to say they can’t deliver my food because it’s too busy? but my food had already been made? Then got told i have to wait another hour or get my money back which will take 10 working days? Waited an hour for food that had been already made an hour prior. The food comes and they’ve missed a meal from the order.

About a week or so ago, I had an accident which meant my car had to be scrapped. As a result, I have been stuck at home, unable to easily travel to my favourite restaurants and had to get delivery. My goto for Indian food was The Elephant, but unfortunately, they do not do delivery. So I had to find an alternative for my craving for curry. So I went on Just Eat and I chose the Dil Raj, with it being on the same block as Mai Wok, a Chinese takeaway I used to work at. Had a few deliveries from there and my experience is overall very positive. So, when my delivery driver arrived, he was very patient and nice when I was slow to open the door since I cannot hear my door when people knock very well. When I have Indian, I always start with a Poppadom, and these Poppadoms are very crispy and rich. As soon as you take a bite, it slowly melts in your mouth. And for main, on my first night, I had a Madras. Very thick sauce, which I absolutely loved. Madras is a staple curry I personally opt for, and a good bit spicier than my previous curries from The Elephant. On my second night, I had a Jalfrezi, a more hotter choice. This one, I am mildly disappointed by, which is the main reason for me dropping the 5th star. It was hot, don't get me wrong, hotter than any other Jalfrezi I have had, but my issue is that if you let it rest for even 10 minutes, it starts to leak out oil akin to a spill. Yeaaah, probably not gonna have that one again for a while, especially since it is also kinda bland for a Jalfrezi, which is usually decently flavoured. It's not normally the most flavoursome of curries, but even then, it doesn't reach my expected mark. However I do appreciate the banana pepper. Lastly, on night three, I had a Vindaloo. This, quite literally, blew me away. I haven't had a curry this hot in a very long time. If you try a curry at the Dil Raj, do not go for the Vindaloo if you are weak to chillies, this one is very damn hot and not for the feint-hearted. However, I much prefer the way it is done at Dil Raj over The Elephant because they opt for putting smaller tomatoes in rather than one big tomato chunk, and I personally find that a lot better because they add a really soft but pleasant texture while my mouth is seared. In addition, I had some other miscellaneous items, including some Onion Bhajis, which taste nice, but again, a bit too much oil. And some Chicken Spring Rolls, which are also very nice but I am not so keen on the bed of raw onion. And I had some Pepsi to wash it all down. Overall, a very good alternative to what is my favourite Indian restaurant given my change in circumstances and almost definitely worth the price. Will be returning more in the future. (New Edit: Marking up to 5 stars. Their consistency has been on point since this review was first posted, so The Dilraj deserve a full rating!)

Excellent food, ordered a couple of times recently and both times the food has been delicious, hot and delivered early.

Hop meal good portion size served on time
