The Original Dil Raj in Barnsley

As me and my party were visiting from the south of the country and not knowing the area, we took a chance on this restaurant. As regular diners at Indian restaurants, it was a very pleasant surprise to find it was the best Indian restaurant each of us had visited in years. The food was amazing, with generous portions. The staff were incredibly hospitable, the service excellent. I would absolutely recommend a visit and, if I lived in the area, would make this my local for a meal out or takeaway.

Food was cold and deluvery driver called me and i had to go out to his car to collect the food

Quality food in town best ever service found price 👌 will recommend to friends and local people's come back to Dilraj...lovely

We used to come to the Dil Raj on a regular basis for many years. However, the standards went downhill and we hadn't been for quite a while. However, we went there with friends yesterday and we loved it. It was so good to be back. The standard of the food was excellent and we really enjoyed it. We will definitely be back.

Very pleased. Good quality. Excellent flavour. Tried something new and really enjoyed it... Not quite what I expected but very tasty all the same. Arrived easily half an hour quicker than expected. Arrived nice and hot.

Giving 5 stars only because we couldn't give 6 as the rest of the party wanted. Always amazing food, atmosphere and service! They always go above and beyond when we go and the couple from Norway are definetly coming again next time they visit. 11 out of 10 would definitely do it again. Almost concidering coming again tomorrow.

Had a delivery from here and the food is absolutely amazing. Great service thanks. Quick delivery I will order again the food arrived hot and delicious

Delivery 40mins after placing order, almost 20mins before expected. Food was nice and hot. Food had great flavour with a well balanced spiciness. Thoroughly enjoyed the food... Best Indian food I've had for a long time.

Delicious hot food, good portions, great service. Will definitely order again. Thank you.

Fab food. On time. Always great

Meal for 4 , the starters and main courses were lovely and tasty and the service was very good.

Food late and all cold when it arrived and chips wasn’t cooked properly

Disgusted to find an insect in my food, wasn’t bad enough that the food was cold when it arrived… will not be eating from here again

Really delicious food, delivery on time and driver really friendly!

Amazing love the dishes from this place. Thanks 🙏

I simple cannot rate highly enough, the food is quite simply beautiful.

absolutely fantastic food. arrived on time and pipping hot. Will definitely order again

Unfortunately we had popadoms missing from our order which meant we couldnt eat the pickle tray. Chips were undercooked and cold. We rang to complain but were told they were closing. No partial refund offered

Food always pipping hot upon delivery, 😋 great quality Indian only place I use

Table for 2 Got charged £66 paid , questioned it when we got home , they have over charged us , going to phone and complain .

Korma and chips were cold. Delivery driver knocked and left food at the door didn’t even wait for us to come to door, food could have been stolen living on a main road. Terrible service from driver.

Great place, warm people and tasty food. Would recommend! Thank you

Food was absolutely freezing. Said was due to be delivered at 7:50 then changed to 8:10-8:30 which I was fine about. My food did not turn up until 8:50 and it was absolutely freezing.

Excellent meal last night with friends. We all loved our food and great service too. Thank you

Dil tai food is amazing will never have a Indian from anywhere else

Not one to complain however the same experience has happened too many times now. Dil raj is our usual go to indian takeaway however the past 4 takeaways we have had there has been food missing. We have rang up every time and always been told there are no deliveries coming our way and to mention it on our next order to get money taken off. As well as our missing food tonight when i went to pay for our food on collection the total was £12 more then the price of what we actually ordered, claiming i had ordered 3x rice (i never said rice on the phone) and an extra naan bread which i didn’t pick up on until getting home, it’s a shame as this used to be our favourite indian.

Fantastic food, nothing to much trouble. Lovely wines and a wide selection of beers and Guinness. Always tastes authentic and fresh. Reasonable priced with ample parking. Keep up the good work.

Best food with good service !!!

Great food lovely delivery man very good value for money

The prices are too expensive and the food is not that good

Called up 30 minutes beforehand to book a table. Food was really lovely, service was quick and the waiter was also really friendly. Would happily come here again.

The curry was flavourless. The meat was poor quality. The poppadoms were stale. The naan was burnt.

Fantastic as always bit late, but was Friday so all is forgiven… would recommend to all 100%

Food was cold and meat was gristly. Not as good as usual . Will not go again

Cold gone downhill last few months

We always love it there But tonight was different.. we paid for starters which we had but got took off our table ie pickle trays saying they need the room ..same with the mains picked up the plates really didn't hv a choice if we was done or not I get it if they was busy but it wasn't

We never got our food. We phoned when the order was 20 minutes late and was told it was on the way. We phoned 15 minutes later to be told they were going to make the meals again and they would get the food to us. This hasn’t happened. Please can we have a full refund please.

Naan bread was burnt on one half this is the second time this as happened so wouldn’t normally complain other than that curry great

excellent food just a bit late 🙂

My first time ordering, the food was excellent, good size portions and tasted delicious. I will definitely order again

Chips missing. Rang n they said cant refund will get free chips next order, wont be ordering again. Said 35-50mins delivery took 1hr and 30mins.

Unfortunately had the misfortune of eating here this evening. Bill was way over what was quoted on the menus, I would strongly advise anyone to take a photo of what your ordering in advance to stop these rip off merchants from over charging you.

Called here last minute with my family on a Friday evening. Was welcomed nicely and seated in a clean but very cold restaurant. When I asked if they could turn the heating up a little they turned it off. It was very quiet with only one other small family there. Served promptly and food came out quickly. Very overpriced menu with rather small potions and certainly nothing special. Lack of meat in all meals and tiny naan breads. Total cost was £101 although they tried to bill us £110 until I questioned it. Had a far better restaurant experience at Tandoori Hut before with far better food quality and portions at a more reasonable price. Won’t be calling back.

Booked for a party of thirteen before reading some of the recent reviews so was a bit nervous after reading some. We all arrived on time and there was a very warm friendly welcome. Everyone was seated in a timely and organised way .The service was excellent everyone had different options of food and drink and there was not one error made. When the food came it was nice and hot and all came together whether it was starters or mains. There was not one person who said they-did not enjoy the food. The bill was reasonable the service was excellent and the place is very clean as well. So it’s worth a visit.

Great food. Really enjoyed it. Unfortunately was over 45 minutes later than the estimated time.

Collection time was for 19.15 and didn’t receive our order till 20.05. Was told at 19.40 it would be 5 minutes and then at 20:00 still no sign of it.

Delivery on time but items missing and when rang to say missing items they said they are busy and going to be another half hour

Great quality food delivery a little later than originally stated but was informed immediately

Had a takeaway cold when arrived nanbread burnt egg shell in rice we have had takeaways before from here spot on but this one was not the best will not be ordering again

Won’t be ordering again, Good prices but it has gone down hill and used to be my go to Indian. My partner has been poorly with her stomach ever since having the curry a few nights ago. Burnt nan bread, and you can smell the old oil on the poppadoms.

Will not be ordering from here again dont know what as happened but food late and cold. Ordered at 5.15 food came at 7.00. Pieces of chicken dry and stringy. Its a shame because it was always a delicious treat. ☹️

1 degree outside, radiators cold, moved tables , still no warmer , had to eat meal with coat and scarf on , when you go to a restaurant you atleast expect it to be warm , the man is ignorant and rude , no apology for it being cold , used to be a good restaurant, won't be returning. Prices have gone up , not value for money,

Without a doubt never fails to be bang on

Booked a table for 2 last Saturday night at 6.15pm. Arrived and was quite empty, except 2 couples. The restaurant was cold. We sat near a radiator but it was lukewarm at best. Poppadoms and starter were fine and as expected at any Indian restaurant. I had ordered a lamb bhuna but vindaloo hot 🔥 which most restaurants have no problem with. I also greedily asked for a large portion as I've a healthy appetite and I don't trust many places to provide a decent amount. The dish was very mild and the portion size was tiny. Literally a saucer of sauce with maybe two or three chunks of meat in it. I was immediately disgusted with this and should have complained but didn't want to make a scene. I told the waiter when he asked how our meal was that it was insubstantial and not spicy as requested. He obviously didn't speak to the manager and we paid around £65 for the meal. Thinking about it, the starter, mixed kebab was small too and cost £7 alone, instead of the usual £4-5 in other places. The mains were roughly £12 each, compared to £8 in other restaurants. This used to be a pretty good Indian but I shall never return as the meal was overpriced, iwoefully nsubstantial mains and they can't even be bothered to heat the place when it's freezing outside. Don't waste your money folks.

food was approx 1 hour late. When opened, wrong rice sent (asked for keema was sent mushroom). All of the food was cold. Must have gone on a magical mystery tour during the 1hr late to my house. Food quality has gone down the pan here. used to be the best curry house in Barnsley. Not any more, poor and cold food. Slow service. I be using other curry houses in future.

Normally good but food was a bit cold and one item was wrong. Ordered a main, paid for a main but got a starter version of it instead.

Not worth the cost, has always been good in the past. Not any more.

Almost £40 order and in all honesty I wouldn't want it at any price, wrong curry, pickle tray x6 pots but same 3 fillings, onion Bhaji like warmed up afters, sorry not impressed

Best curry around. Our favourite Indian by far! Nothing is ever too much trouble and we especially love the chefs specials.

Cold restaurant. Nice food. Service not great

Food was over an hour late. Had an issue with our food and was spoken to by a pretty rude guy. All that for a mediocre meal!

The driver turned very late. When I final received my order the fool cold. I phoned the restaurant up asking where my food then received is cold around and said take it up with just eat then put the phone down on me. And the food to disgusting what are the worst restaurants I ever been in my Thai life you'll never go here again I recommend you keep well away from this restaurant

For restaurant standards I expected a lot more for £35.30 . That being onion Bhaji not over cooked and the rest of the food being Luke warm. The rogan Josh was too salty with hardly any seasonings. And when rung to ask for 2 cans of pop tried to charge £5 extra on door. I just find this somewhat greedy and unfortunate because despite these flaws the food could have been somewhat being of good standard. Unfortunately because of this I won’t order again

Best Indian interior North bar none. Staff, amazing, food absolutely quality. Great prices

Some of food was cold and the sauce which came with pakora had busted and gone into tikka massala. Driver knocked and left food on wet cold floor

Amazing food as always ..Best vindaloo in barnsley wouldn't go anywhere else

Fantastic, large portions arrived early, excellent quality.

Food arrived cold, took 1 hour 50 for delivery. Must have been in car for ages

Food is nice when it finally arrives. Everytime we order it takes over 2 hours for delivery. Wouldnt be as bad if they told you that when ordering but they tell you 45mins!

Was all lovely other that the duck starter £6 for 4 bite size pieces of duck was literally gone in 4 forkfuls 😞

Great Fresh Food!!! None of it cooked and reheated like “some” do.

Great food , place felt run down , drinks were warm

Great atmosphere Great food great staff

over 2 hours from ordering to getting the food was a bit disappointing and then for the food be be stone cold was shocking, was really looking forward to this and the amount of money spent it definitely wasn't worth it. won't be ordering from here for a while

Having received a message at 8:40 stating my order was on its way for it to take 15 mins to arrive when I literally live a 5 min drive from dil raj. It arrived slightly warm so by the time it was dished up it was cold.! And also my chicken tikka bhuna had leaked all over the bag.! Very disappointing and will be reluctant to order again

Really lovely, tasty chicken and sauces, and a super friendly driver too, thanks!

Food delivered was cold, items were missing and late turning up. Spoke to the restaurant and they couldn’t do anything about it this time around but if we ordered again they would add items to that order. Very poor. Not be eating there again.

Pretty average food... Expensive food given the taste.

Very good food and excellent service. Portions are a good size.

Our fave takeaway. On time, great staff and delicious food 👌

We ordered 2 different mains. When they came they were both exactly the same apart from one being slightly hotter chilli wise. Surely an Indian chef knows the difference between a Bhutanese and a Pathia but this one obviously did not!!!! Very disappointing no wonder at 9:40 there was only one couple in the restaurant eating

Food mediocre draught beer awful.

Good is always very nice! Would order from anywhere else.

Cold food from being out on delivery for more than 30 mins. Missing items - must be different staff as used to be excellent all round :-(

Sadly this used to be our favorite place but it's lost what made it the best. Almost every time we order from here there is something missing and they never offer to bring it to you or refund the item having paid for it! The chicken tikka this time was grizzly and some of it inedible which was disappointing as this is not what we are used to from here. Sad to say it's put us off going again.

Nice food but overall too sweet for my liking. Decent vegetarian selection. We felt judged for trying to use 2 for 1 offer, we didn't use it because there were other conditions. Begs the question why offer it in the first place? Not very busy but nice surroundings and decor.

Excellent Quality food & lovely service best Indian restaurant in town.. recommended.

Excellent food and the gentleman who delivered my food tonight excellent customer service.. Thankyou..

As there was a Taste card offer, I called the restaurant to make a reservation. It displays 2 to 1. My impression is that you get two meals for the price of one. I'm not even sure he knows English because of how unpleasant the person who answered my call was. I have major doubts about how these folks are handling the clientele. The restaurant management may not even be aware of this. People frequent restaurants not only for the quality of the cuisine but also for the helpful staff.

Very nice. Not as hot (temperature wise) as I would have liked but food tasty.

Great restaurant, lovely food and staff welcoming Recommended

Nice food. Didn’t tell me the driver was in the way though 😂

Best curry iv had hands down best in Barnsley, service amazing, and amazing price would 100% come here again

Been there today, very good food, alright service. But very expensive, i seemed to be charged much more than the price on the menu, we did mention it and the staff said that’s how it’s supposed to be. This had us rather sceptical.

Really great quality food. Delivered quickly and was hot and tasty.

Best ever quality food for the price.Superb service definitely will be coming back.best recommended to local people's please avoiding wrong reviews and try once from Dilraj you will be definitely going back.the parking found absolutely free without any restrictions keep it up.

Ordered a takeaway took nearly 2 hours for delivery and when it arrived it was lukewarm . Expensive too for Amount we got . Birthday tea let down never again

Placed an order earlier, didn't realise till I'd got home that I'd got chicken korma instead of jalfrezi

So this time the food tasted much better but I just don’t get why it takes 2 hours to make and deliver a curry could have cooked one from scratch faster. £37 for two people 😞

Excellent food and service, deffo will order from them again.
