The Rajasthan in Waverley

My daughter and I went to The Rajasthan Restaurant at 103 Long Gore, today 14 November 2024 and was very impressed. Excellent food, staff, service, good value for money.

Delicious food, good portions at reasonable prices, very short waiting times, and excellent service.

Staff are very friendly, the food is always tasty and they are great with allergies!

Very good food. The staff are very friendly and always listen to your requests regarding your food. Definitely going to be visiting again soon.

Amazing food and amazing service, great restaurant to come back.

Very pleasant all round, will definitely be be back!!!

Superb food and atmosphere. Highly recommend

Absolutely fabulous service. Amazing food, friendly staff, highly recommend!

Amazing place. Been coming here since it opened close to 20years . Only Indian restaurant my self and my family use in Surrey . Lovely staff and manager . Perfect as far as restaurants go . Would recommend to anyone looking for a real taste of India.

Excellent food, I was very impressed, very clean, staff are lovely. Will go again

Delicious, freshly made curries. Wonderful team. Always super lovely and helpful. Very reasonable prices. We'll done you guys top job.

I had a chicken tikka madras delivered and it was honestly the only bad madras I've ever had in my life. Watery, flavourless. Not good food, but great value when you're on a budget.

Slow delivery, prawns burnt and chewy, onion bhajis oily and cold.

They use only name "Indian and Rajsthan" but staff and chef are "Bangladeshi" no Indian Taste... Money Waste.... Poor service and taste

What a memorable night with a few of my friend’s food was spot on and the atmosphere was just right. Will be joining again can’t wait to try many more dishes. I had a few dishes but my favourite was the lamb kohri with the garlic chilli naan. Thanks guys will come again.

Great customer service throughout , amazing quality of food and perfect portions were provided for me and my friends

Amazing food! The butter chicken was delicious and so was the chicken balti. Garlic naan was great and complicated all the curry well!

Amazing food would recommend great atmosphere too perfect dinner out with friends, really friendly staff too

I ordered a takeaway last night and the food was terrible. So bad I threw most of it away. The Pasanda Lamb had so little lamb and tasted nothing of lamb!! The Garlic naan had no garlic and was think and soggy. I was a major fan. Dissapointed.

Food delivered 2 hours late, called to check where the food was was hung up on, no change despite having to pay cash, wrong tikka masala

The food here was so good and came in great proportions, loved the garlic naan and the samosas

Popped in to this place last night to order 6 takeaway meals costing £96, the place wasn't busy, however, it still took a good hour to get the meals. I can truly say these were the worst meals we have ever had the displeasure to taste, most of it swimming in ponds of oil, even the poppadom's had a nasty taste of oil. Not sure if a one off but certainly not visiting this place again.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars My recent dining experience at The Rajasthan Restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with warm smiles and friendly hospitality. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, eager to provide recommendations and cater to my every need. The food was a symphony of flavors, prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Each dish was artfully presented, a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. The timing was impeccable, with each course arriving at the perfect moment, allowing me to fully savor each bite. Overall, The Rajasthan Restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of delicious food, impeccable service, and a welcoming atmosphere made for an unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a taste of culinary excellence. Thanks to my friends for the recommendation will definitely be there this Friday to spend quality time and enjoy the food with over 10 people.

I had the best Indian food I've ever had at The Rajasthan Restaurant . The lamb korai was so flavourful and spicy, and the garlic chilli naan was the perfect combination. The naan was soft and fluffy, and the garlic and chilli were just the right amount of spice. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Indian meal. Thanks once again to this wonderful experience with my work colleagues. See you guys soon

Unfriendly staff, crack a smile when smiled at. Food not cooked well at all, onions not cooked well in a signature dish (supposed to be caramelised but were almost raw). Ice cream straight out the freezer should be left to stand a couple of minutes to soften not given like an ice block. Not up to par for sure

Terrible service. Ordered food at 6:30, didn’t arrive until 9:15 despite Just Eat saying it had been delivered at about 8:15! Last time we ordered it took over 2 hours as well, but we just thought once was a mishap - but judging by other reviews, looks like this place is completely disorganised and probably accepting way more orders than they can handle. No point bothering to order, you’ll be disappointed by the service. Not to mention the back and forth with them. The app says it’s sent, 15 minutes later we phone to check what’s going on, they say it’s still in the restaurant, we say we’ll come to collect instead, get there and they say they’ve just sent it because we apparently told them to send it, we get home, it’s not there, we phone, they say it’s still in the restaurant again! They need to sort their communication out.

This is our local, we've been using them for 14m now and the last couple of times have been truly exceptional taste/flavour wise. Have dined in twice, ordered online many more times, never a problem or anything we didn't like, really impressive, would happily take entire family for their Sunday buffet to see how that is. Personally we love the mixed starter, dhansak, bhuna, special rice, tikka masala,but are going to try the goan fish curry and some others next time!! 😋

This used to be my favourite restaurant for take-away Indian food. Last night three of us ordered a Friday night treat. One dish was very greasy, one was watery and mine (vegetable dhansak) had only potatoes, onions and a very few chickpeas, though it was nice and spicy. My son's choice had not been included, though he was charged for it, so we went back to collect it. When it came it was burnt!!! Not the enjoyable meal that we were all looking forward to. Such a shame that standards have been allowed to drop so far.

Rajasthan is simply the best Indian food in England. They are improving delivery. Food this good deserves acclaim and support. Go Raj.

Although the food was good the order we placed with my family was a disaster. The staff were nothing but rude and ignorant when they forgot a child's meal. Over the phone they tried to shout us down and tell us we were wrong. Truly disappointed and can adamantly say we will not he using them again nor recommending them at all. The staff could definitely take a lesson in customer service to say the least! If I could of given zero for service and atmosphere I would of.

Amazing all you can eat buffet on a Sunday very fresh food really nice and enjoyable the services is really good too

Had an amazing all you can eat Sunday buffet really nice and fresh.

We used to order from here regularly. While the food is still good, they need to sort out their admin / staffing. Currently sitting waiting for my food which we ordered more than two hours ago...

Absolutely amazing food! The cheese naan bread was really good.

Ordered takeaway online. Apparently the order didn’t go through, or only part of it. Took an hour waiting in queue, never again. The food wasn’t a that nice either.

The best indian restaurant. We come here at least once a month! The food never disappoints and the staff are amazing!

The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly.

10/10 restaurant very nice atmosphere of music and food. Would recommend to get butter chicken with garlic naan that was so delicious and fresh. The food is delivered with hot plates which I found nice as the food complimented the dish. At the end I tried out a unique dessert which was coconut ice cream in a coconut which I found cool. Will be definitely returning with friends and family. Thank you for the nice food will be seeing you guys again.

Excellent Food, Staffs are amazing friendly with nice service, Very good location, Atmosphere fantastic.

Authentic food, lovely service. Really enjoyed our cheeky Monday out curry.

They served really delicious food and I love the food temperature is hot nice taste of rice well cook.

Beautiful place great food .. you won’t find Indian restaurants like this near by .. been to the local once near by absolutely rubbish food and miserable men are serving the food .. highly recommend this place ..

Absolutely disgusted by this so called restaurant, saw oil being removed grom there kirchens. The contractors spilt used cooking oil on the public path way. Leaving a local resident and business owner to clean himself as they would not take responsibility.

This was first visit and was delightfully surprised at the flavours of the food. Very good would definitely come again.

Booked a table for 8 people seating at 7pm on a Saturday, did not get our food until 9pm due to the owner trying to run the entire restaurant on his own due to staff shortages. Still running online takeaway and walk in service alongside which resulted in the extremely slow service. On a positive, the food was great when it eventually came but we shall not rush back there anytime soon....dissappointing for all concerned.

Great food love the garlic chicken my mum loves the korma ..best restaurant in the area ... great service

Lovely food with great service, definitely recommend.

I used to order regularly from here at least twice a week. However, the recent conversation that I had with one of the ladies that takes order was pretty very rude.I had ordered two main dishes which when delivered were not what I ordered. And when I called back I was simply asked to not order again. So please do not order from here.

Came here for my sisters birthday we have move to the area recently was looking for Indian Traditional authentic food absolutely authentic Traditional Rajasthani food Highly recommend the lamb Thava Railway chicken great food great service Thank you .. Try it once you won’t be disappointed 😊

I had the lamb jalfrezi, I can honestly say, was the best. The lamb was very tender and the sauce bursting with delicious flavours. The service was excellent, very attentive and welcoming. Will definitely go back. Highly recommend.

Ordered take away and found a SNAIL IN THE CURRY! Not from the outside packaging but actually inside the food whilst we were eating. After being accused of lying about this (there is no way that this could have happened and they will have to check the cameras) the manager called to apologise and find out what had happened, she offered me a refund and a free take away or meal for two in the restaurant - I will obviously not be eating from this establishment and almost a month later have still not received my promised refund. They did come back to the address to collect the uneaten meal including the snail which I found odd - perhaps to hide the evidence? I also had some strange phone calls immediately after calling them to complain which when I picked up when to a voicemail system then after hanging up would automatically call back again - this again made me suspicious of what they could have just done with my telephone number. Either way I was served something potentially pathogenic that I absolutely did not order and did not receive my refund. The manager said that they have just renovated the restaurant/kitchens but I am concerned about their storage and how genuine/honest they are as a business. Terrible experience, unable to eat their contaminated food, completely ruined our evening. Avoid.

We have lived in the area for 11 years and in the past this has been a bit hot and miss. The current owners and staff are amazing and the food has been great the last couple of years, recommend vegetarian food here and especially banquet night!

Best Indian in the South by far

Great food. Great service. Great owner. :)

Love this local Indian restaurant, have sat in and used the takeaway service. The owners are lovely, go out of their way to make your evening a positive one. The food is deeeelish! The sharing starter really nice- keema Kebab my fave 😋 Tikka masala out of this world,but if you like something spicy the Dansak was lovely too. Well worth a try!!

Use Farncombe Rajasthan all the time as it’s local. Exquisite food, very generous portions and good deals. Thanks Rajasthan as always. We’ll be back! 😋

Just had my first takeaway and the food was delicious, will definitely come again.

We have eaten here a few times and really enjoy the food. The chefs specials are excellent and a bit different than the usual Indian restaurant menu.

We had another fantastic meal at The Rajasthan this week. It really is home from home. Cosy, comfortable and absolutely excellent home cooked food. Nothing is too much trouble and we always receive a very warm welcome. Kay is a wonderful proprietor, so attentive and generous. We have tried several curry houses in the surrounding area and this is by far the best......

Unexpectedly very good authentic Indian food. Recommended for sure 👌🏼.

Staff was quite helpful there. Ladies were lovely as they were looking after my 8 month old daughter whilei enjoy the lovely food. The only thing missing was the ambient as it can be updated but food was amazing 👏 😋 ❤️

Really think this restaurant offers a very wide range of quality curries. Never been disappointed . So lucky it is very local to us and we visit weekly.

Excellent food. Lovely friendly service. Nothing is to too much trouble. We visit once a week and really enjoy it.

Nice atmosphere and interior! Food was really well made and Gunpowder signature dish was perfect spice for those who like spice to their dishes!

Greeted with staff with smile Given a menu clear printing With allergy alert Relaxing music Nice wine and aromatic spices And very hygienic Well presented table set up And serve food with proper temperature good atmosphere.

Farncombe’s best kept secret! Amazing food, lovely environment and fantastic hosts!

Lovely place very very nice food

Amazing food and great service!!

Great food and service, will recommend!!

Enjoyed a work meal here, food was absolutely fantastic and the service was great ! If you don’t eat here you are missing out ! Alberto

lovely food, most amazing experience

Beautiful place and delicious food . I had told them I was celebrating my mums birthday and the waiter surprised my mum with tasty sweet treat in the end .. this my second visit here and food and service is wonderful.. I don’t know what...

Ordered of just eat when ment to arrive I checked order and was cancelled no message. Better get refund or else. Avoid at all cost . Do not recommend.

This was my go to Indian for many years. Every order was incorrect in some way. Staff did not feel this an issue. Food was awful very artificial Colour and taste awful whole cloves of garlic in dishes raita was yoghurt in a bowl with...

We went to this restaurant as it has been good in the past. Sadly the meal was dreadful. Having waited an age to order despite few tables being occupied there were errors at each course. Wrong dishes delivered to the table. Having to wait for,...

I went in to the store, and asked to use the toilet (to wash my hands) the guy said the man behind the counter said the toilet is broken and the flush doesn’t work, he has to manually flush it so he won’t even let his customers use it and meanwhile a customer walks straight into the toilet and then I said “but they’re using the toilet” and he said “no , it’s only for customers” and then the lady ‘K’ apparently the owner of the shop came and said “we don’t let anyone use the toilet, company policy” and was saying she’s the owner of the store and she ‘doesn’t care’ that the waiter lied about the toilet. All I wanted to do was wash my hands after a long day at work and order food

I absolutely adore this place! They give marvelous dishes, their menu is very nice !The cook in that restaurant is a real pro, I love very much trying all their food. The food is always fresh, their attitude towards the clients is very good too....

Hadn't been in a while since I last lived in the area. I always thought was good, sure they're actually better now albeit the prices are up :D

Very unimpressed with food quality. The sauce for the Chicken Korma was so sweet it was sickly. A couple of family members, including myself, complained of upset stomachs after visiting. Chicken Tandoori was apparently very nice. Probably will not return willingly.

We ordered a takeaway from Just Eat tonight. The full menu doesn't seem to be available for a start. Delivery was on time, and the food tasted pretty good but one dish was wrong and we had a chicken tikka masala rather than the ordered lamb.

Very friendly. We had the Garlic Chilli Chicken and Lamb Naga. Both really good, haven’t been in ages, we’ll be return soon after this experience.

I ordered on just eat the food came cold they didn't have the drink with the order and when I asked for them to bring my drink they took 30 minutes after the order arrived and argued with me about weather they should bring my drink ASAP.

Took my family and parents. Daughter couldn't eat Chicken Tikka starter as chicken had a strange texture and not very nice. Took over 1hr 15 to get our mains. Not a great night for the Raj!!

Fantastic food.Try their Achari Lamb Chicken Jalfrazi.Onion bhaji was also really good.Courteous staff

One off the worst food I ever had in life..waste off time and money..not worth it at all..disgusting food I ever had..TESTLESS FOOD..do not recommend to anyone

Takeaway food not very hot after 2 minute drive

This is my favourite Indian restaurant and I'm so pleased it is local. There are some unusual curries on the menu, and they are all very flavoursome. Special thanks to the team for hosting my leaving do. They made us all very welcome and the extra decorations were a lovely personal touch. The food and service were amazing and I know many of my colleagues intend to return!

Food was fabulous, staff very pleasant.

Fantastic food, will be back again for sure.

Came with my family as I was entering the university of Surrey as a first year student, food was amazing and the service was super friendly and the chef complied with all of my mother's demands. Beautiful place yet surprisingly empty, give this place a chance.

We keep revisiting as it's always been good. This time the service was a bit slow as there was someone missing in the kitchen. All the food was great and plentiful as usual!

Very quick and efficient service, me and my friend had takeaway. The Korma was delicious and very sweet..too sweet in fact, my friend who's had lamb korma many times from other restaurants in the past wasn't able to finish her course as she started to have an upset stomach. After sitting for a few minutes she was then sick for a solid 10 minutes! I too had an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach afterwards.

Great food great staff and service

Lovely meal as usual and staff very attentive

I'm a Brit. I've eaten a lot of curry. On several continents, including the Indian subcontinent. British Indian isnt pure Indian / Bangladeshi / Pakistani, but we've had a few decades to work on our version and its pretty good at this point. And then...

Whilst having afternoon tea at The Watts Gallery we decided we would have an Indian Take Away for dinner. used Trip Adviser to find out what was in the area and The Rajasthan came up as an option, drove the 2 miles to check it...

Nothing to complain about. The food was so good, hot and tasty! The restaurant was quite empty which was sad. I had tandoori half chicken with vindaloo spice and a palak bhaji. Both were delicious. Looking forward to my next visit already!

We ordered a takeaway at 18:30 and told it would be 45 mins.3 phone calls, and told it had been delivered no food in sight. Staff argued about a refund I insisted on. This is the 3rd disappointment in as many months . Never again...

Food was great, good size portions, great tasting service was fantastic
