The Rajdoot in City of London, Westminster

Shahed was a great worker!! The food was really good and I can recommend, especially the general Indian vibe was really good and I like.

The food was amazing. It was one of the best curry restaurants that I ever had, and the selection of naan bread and flavoured rice dishes was by far out performed other restaurants in London. The only thing worth mentioning is that it's not a big restaurant; you may find the space is crowded, but that won't stop you from enjoying the food. We have been going back regularly. Overall, it is highly recommended.

Really very nice. A lovely traditional feel in Marylebone. Food as you want was lovely and the service to match. Very much unexpected when you see from exterior, highly recommend.

Small place but big personality. Nice vibes from the moment we walked in, Staff extremely pleasant and helpful when we asked for recommendations. Food was lovely, plenty of it, appeared fresh and was very flavoursome and tasty. Served by Zabed, very nice indeed.

Food was delivered cold could not find us A very average meal . Shame because was very good before

I recently dined at The Rajdoot, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a delightful meal. I had the pleasure of being served by Zabed, who truly elevated my dining experience with his attentive and friendly service. He was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. I ordered the Khana Ke Pasand, and it was simply outstanding! The flavors were rich and authentic, showcasing the culinary expertise of the kitchen. Each dish was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Overall, The Rajdoot is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious food and top-notch service. I highly recommend asking for Zabed when you go—his hospitality made my meal even more enjoyable!

Working in London with a colleague and fancied a curry. There were a few near where we were staying but reviews here were good. Happy today the food was lovely and service was good. Set meals available which made the experience reasonably priced. Would go again if in the area 🙂

This place was delish, we came in at 10pm on a Sunday and had fast service, every dish was great, the chicken tikka masala was a unique recipe that we enjoyed. Great vibes for a late night meal

I had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant, and I can confidently say it's one of the best culinary experiences I've had. The food is nothing short of amazing, showcasing a variety of flavors and dishes that are sure to please any palate. The brothers who own and operate the restaurant are incredibly passionate about their craft, and their commitment to quality is evident in every bite. One of the standout features is that everything is made from scratch, which truly elevates the dining experience. You can taste the freshness in every dish, from the sauces to the sides, which are prepared with love and attention to detail. Moreover, the restaurant itself is always impeccably clean, creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for diners. It's also consistently bustling with customers, which I believe is a testament to the high-quality food and service they provide. Seeing the restaurant packed full of happy patrons is always a reassuring sign of its popularity and success. Overall, I highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a memorable meal!

A delicious meal! We were unsure my husband's walking frame would be welcome in such a small restaurant, but were helped to a very comfortable table and given considerate attention. Onion bhaji, lamb and veg curry, rice, poppadoms, and naan were included in our two lunch specials, and we ordered bindi bhaji on the side. All were beautifully prepared, with very fresh ingredients and a master hand at the seasoning. The naan was a special treat -- fresh, light, and hot. Attention to detail is a strength for this charming establishment.

Excellent traditional food. The service is also top notch with plenty of people to assist if you need anything. We sat inside and enjoyed the music and the people watching. We ordered a variety of dishes but the tikka masala chicken was the best. Excellent dinner and we would return.

My go to for great Indian food. I travel to London almost every week and Rajdoot if my place to go. The food and the service are always excellent. So many restaurant to chose from and I have tried many. I always come back here!

Food was amazing and staff was lovely

The Indian food was good, but I'm not a big fan of food with spices, so it might not be my taste. However, what really bothered me was the handwritten bill. When I asked about a strange number in the middle, the waiter said it was a service charge, but there was another mysterious number. It left me with a negative impression of the restaurant.

Food here was brilliant, lamb curry was well seasoned and super tender. The staff are very accommodating and friendly. I would highly recommend if you're looking for great halal Indian food in central london

Sat outside and had an amazing Tikka Masala, just what the doctor ordered. Another review mentioned how hard it is to find a traditional Indian over a modern Indian in these parts - this is it. Superb!

Amazing food, very authentic atmosphere.

Fantastic evening with fantastic food, Shahed the hero

great food and service from Ali and the team. highly recommend

Delicious! Zabed will take care of you! Try the chicken tikka and naan and rice. If warm you can sit outdoors in West London.

Good spot, nice staff, food was good. Ask for Zabel as a waiter, he’s really nice and he gives good recommendations, I recommend him as a waiter!

This spot was nice for a dinner out with a good and varied menu. The staff was attentive and respectful. A good date night dinner!

Rajdoot offers an authentic Indian dining experience with rich flavors and a warm atmosphere. The food was outstanding, with every dish bursting with spices and cooked to perfection. Special mention to Zabod, who provided exceptional service—attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly valued. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy quality Indian cuisine in London!

Ali & the team gave excellent service. The food & atmosphere were awesome !!…I would highly recommend giving them a try to authentic Indian dishes

One of my frequent go to spots, and the best curry house in North London. Great service too from Mr Elin. Try the Bahari lamb if you can!

I've been here a few times, mostly during lunch or off peak hours. The food is always hot and fresh. I really like their paneer tikka masala. Service is friendly and attentive.

We loved this little gem. In a sea of modern Indian, this is exactly what we wanted. All the traditional dishes with wonderful service. The lamb was exceptionally tender and we highly recommend the appetizer for 2!!!! Great value.

I recently dined at a charming curry house in London, and the paneer curry I had there was nothing short of exceptional. The dish was a perfect blend of rich, creamy textures and bold, aromatic spices that danced on the palate. The paneer was incredibly soft, soaking up the vibrant flavors of the curry, which had just the right balance of heat and tanginess. The sauce was smooth and velvety, with layers of flavor that unfolded with every bite, making it a truly satisfying experience. What made the experience even more memorable was the ambiance of the curry house itself. Nestled in a cozy corner of London, the restaurant exuded warmth and authenticity, with attentive service that made me feel right at home. The staff were knowledgeable and passionate about their food, offering thoughtful recommendations that enhanced my dining experience. Whether you're a fan of paneer or just looking to explore the rich tapestry of Indian cuisine, this curry house is a must-visit for anyone in London.

Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, The Rajdoot remains a dependable choice for anyone seeking the finest in Indian cuisine.

Excellent traditional curry, all time favourite around Marylebone for 10 years still.

Great food, service was excellent. The place is a bit small and the ambience is a 3*

As an Indian who enjoys exploring new Indian restaurants in London, my friends and I visited this establishment based on the positive reviews. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our experience. The curries were excessively sweet and did not align with the traditional Indian palate. Additionally, there was ongoing noise and disputes from the kitchen, which impacted the ambiance. The service also fell short, as the waiter appeared to be in a poor mood and instructed us on where to place our cutlery. would not go here again

Yummmyyyyyyyyyy! Everyone was super nice and the food speaks for itself!

Food is okay, staff are rude, used to be somewhere I went regularly but last few times Ali hasn't been there and the staff in place are rude and don't care about customers.

Food was peng. Location was peng. Service was peng. Kingfisher and Cobra both on draft. Perfect post work curry with the boys. Will be coming back soon. Shahed was our waiter and he’s the absolute boy. Hope you get him. 10 stars out of 5.

Delicious and nostalgic food at a reasonable price

Haven’t been in town for a good 8 or 10 years and headed back, just as good as always, great food and a fun place to hang out.

Best mushroom rice ever. Big juicy pieces of chicken in the curry. 10/10

Great food, naan especially was delicious—took somewhat long to get to us but it was worth it.

Really really good place! Style is unpretentious but the service is excellent. Food is varied and quite tasty. Only minor nitpick is the deliver guys chatting and smoking right next to the outdoor tables.

Very very nice food Tight spaces and very crowded Please double check with the waiter for prices. We found a 14 pound charge that they added by mistake. They corrected it after so thats good. Also, they serve halal food.

A very nice restaurant in a pleasant part of London.

This is the best Indian food I have had in recent years, and I've had a lot. Nice restaurant, nothing pretentious. Just perfect food. Service was friendly and efficient. Very reasonable prices. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in town.

When we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted very friendly and were able to quickly order our curries. We shared a starter, ordered two portions of rice, two curries and a naan bread. The food came quickly and was incredibly tasty, the chicken in particular was very tender! In terms of price, it's totally reasonable. Above all, the portions were very large. Feel free to go and try this restaurant. We weren't disappointed.

What a hidden gem! This neighborhood restaurant has authentic Indian cuisine. Thanks Zabed for the fantastic service and great experience.

Good food, good service, 10/10. Would recommend for sure.

Amazing restaurant and service! Shahed was my server and he was so kind and friendly! The food was amazing best indian food I’ve ever had. ❤️❤️❤️

I came here on the recommendation of a friend ... Very much vindicated! Delicious food, and I was very jealous of the next table along who ordered the house special shashlick. Amazing service by Mr Elin. Will be coming back

Zabed served us considerately. The starter lamb chops were delightful, the chicken balti lovely.

Lovely attentive staff nothing was too much trouble and the food was very tasty we really enjoyed the meal that we had. We would definitely return if we visit this area of London again

Best Indian restaurant in London, we live close by and always go with my wife or when we have friends visiting, great quality food at affordable prices next to Marylebone, and the staff is very attentive and fun, our favorite restaurant in London

Tasty,wonderful attentive service and perfect amount of spice. The lamb Naja was amazing Thank you Shahed and the team at The Rajdoot

Fantastic place! They accommodated 10 of us late evening with no notice and fed us all delicious tasty food and wine with great service. Thank you!!

Shahed was a great waiter and the food was delicious

The food is cold and bad and does not match Indian food with its onions. The service is somewhat acceptable and they list things on the bill that I did not order. In general, I do not recommend it.

Great, new location same fantastic service.

Shahed was an excellent server. The food was great and came out fast. Very affordable place with great service too!

So delicious! Service was great too! I highly recommend if you’re looking for yummy, authentic curry!

Zabed was fantastic - can’t beat a curry at this location.

Zebel provided fantastic service and the food was wonderful

Great food . Good portion sizes. Cute little place with very attentive server's. I love the food here always satisfied.

Fantastic evening at the Rajdoot (although not my first) … Ali and team were very personable; food is delicious and the menu keeps evolving, which makes it all the more exciting; but our main staples were amazing as always. Was a great way to celebrate Saturday of the Summer Solstice and will be back soon.

Zabed was thorough and hospitable. He took great care of us. Our dinner was delicious and came out very quickly!

Zabed took care of us and gave top notch service. Would come here 10/10.

Not up to mark. It seems ratings are unreasonably high.

Another fantastic meal out. Really enjoyed the whole experience and the food, as always, was top standard. Thanks Shahed.

Ordered takeaway for 1st time. Everything was flavorless. The chicken was dry and tough. The only exception was the excellent garlic naan.

Definitely worth to eat there! Super delicious and authentic food 🤩

Horrible Food. They are falsely advertising as an Indian restaurant, this is not an Indian Restaurant but a Bangladeshi restaurant. The service is horrible, from the time we sat at our table to the time we left no one ever even asked for water. If you ask the waiter what is recommended they try to tell you the most expensive thing on the menu. Tourist beware! Do NOT go to this place and waste your hard earned money. Horrible Taste.

A great curry house only a short walk from Baker Street tube station.

Amazing restaurant! It makes me feel nostalgic Exactly the same quality food from Lahore ❤️ Thank you Zabed

Dishes are quite avg taste camparing to price. Quite compact size to accomodate 2 family table.

Delicious dishes and a very varied menu, well-cooked meat, top service!

Family of 5 came in for Fri night dinner at 830p; no wait, sat inside. Cozy but good ambience. Great servers (ours was Zaheb), fantastic food. Especially recommend the mixed tandoori. Very accommodating of allergies (I’m gluten free/Celiac).

My best friend and I first came here because it said "Best Indian Cuisine" on the front and it reminded us of the movie Elf when Buddy/Will Ferrell goes into the coffee shop that says they're the best coffee in the world and congratulates them. But what started as an in-joke for us, has quickly turned into simply a reality - we love coming here for the food and the staff are always kind and attentive! They are truly the best Indian cuisine!

Food is very delicious they ask you and cook according to your taste staff is also good

Fantastic good food and good service

Food was really good, but the waiters were quite intrusive, also pushy concerning tips. In general there seemed to be too many waiters for the restaurant with nothing to do, i felt a bit stared at.

My boy Shahed, delivers us with the best service in London. He absolutely slaps.

Excellent food! The rice is exceptional! Great service!

Curry quite good from set menu but drinks seem very expensive. Service OK but in small upstairs dining area, waiters chatting made having our own conversation a bit difficult.

Great food, great service - recommended

Lovely, unassuming little restaurant. Fabulous service from Shahed, I had the Tandoori Mixed grill and my partner had the Tikka Masala, and both were full of flavour, and neither too spicy. The mixed Grill was just enough of a kick to make you go 'ooh'. If and when I'm in London next, I will definitely be coming back here.

Best chole in London. It's so authentic and delicious. The service is quick and fresh phulkas!! Definitely definitely biggg thumbs up :)

Very nice restaurant! Ali and his team are fabulous. Very good Indian food and very good service at a great spot in London. You should really go here!

Great food! Shahed was great! Would recommend!

Wow. Some of the best Indian food I've ever had. Small, quaint joint in the Marylebone area, but totally worth it.

Zabed gave a superb service and food was excellent

Excellent vegetarian Indian meal. Everything is very good. Good service Zabed very kind. 👍

Absolutely delicious little traditional Indian restaurant. Extraordinary cuisine, variety of dishes, lovely service. A must do in London

I don't why this place is so highly rated. Feels like a tourist trap. Food was very mediocre. Naan was very stale and the curries tasted very bland. The gravy was excessive and didn't add anything to the dish. Finally the staff were so unhelpful. Don't know how they are still open. Would not recommend

My boyfriend insisted on coming here as this was one of his favorite places to go to when he lived in London and I can see why. Excellent food, service and hospitality. Zabed was great, with excellent recommendations. I highly recommend!

Great food, clean white linen and fast service 💫

Really bad food, unhygienic and very rude staff. It is not an Indian restaurant or food.

Very congested, rude staff and bad food, naan was horrible so was all the curry. Unhygienic as well. Reviews are fake or those people might have Never had good Indian food.

If there were Zero star on google this restaurant deserves zero stars, for this over hyped London restaurant claiming to an Indian restaurant. Very Rude staff and so much discrimination in handling British and Indian origin people. The food is bad, the restaurant ambience is like a cheap dance bar with so much smell of stalled things and unhygienic glasses and cutlery. Conjust place, not recommended if you don't want to have negative unpleasant experience

We had a nice experience here. The staff especially Zabed, went out of their way to make us feel welcome! Tandoor lamb was very good! We will be back!

Food was just ok. Bryani was very dry and mostly chunks of chicken with dry rice, nothing like the Bryani we’ve had before. The shrimp dish was just ok as well feeling like they weren’t the freshest? The tandoor lamb chops, while very tender and came sizzling hot which was nice, were covered in a pinkish sauce which took away from it. To be fair this place is a very good value however we won’t return because the food just wasn’t worth going out for:/

Food came fast and was amazing. Highly recommend the chicken tikka and the mango lassi! Zabed’s service was awesome as well.

I'd like to personally extend my heartfelt gratitude to the owners of the restaurant for their generosity in allowing me to break my fast during Ramadan. Their kindness truly went above and beyond, reflecting the spirit of giving during this holy month. Despite coming from a distant location and working in central London, they immediately welcomed me and served delicious food. I hope their business continues to thrive, guided by the wonderful ethos of gratitude and giving. Thank you!
