This is the old Fleet Tandoori which will be remembered fondly by those of a certain vintage.The food was good, the ambience classic (by which we mean flock wall paper and dim lighting) and the clientele a cosmopolitan mix of professionals from the Royal Free Hospital next door and Hampstead intellectuals. Well time passes and flock wall paper is replaced by purple neon and chrome but the good news is that the hospitality and the food has, if anything, got even better. Management has passed to a younger generation but Father (Grandfather?) still patrols the front of house to make sure customers are happy and one suspects he maintains a disciplinarian eye in the kitchen also to ensure standards do not slip. The staff are friendly (perhaps a tiny bit too intrusive but on the night my friend and I went the staff outnumbered the customers so maybe this was inevitable) and the food the best you can possibly expect at this price point. Well worth making a detour for.

Definitely one of the best curry houses I've found whilst living in London. Everything is cooked fresh with good quality ingredients, and they are always willing to accommodate to your wishes (e.g. if you want a dish more spicy or more mild).
Would recommend getting a lunchtime takeaway (less than £6 per curry) and enjoying it on Hampstead Heath with a beautiful view of the city.

After seeing their reviews online my girlfriend and I decided we had to make the long trip to give it a go! We were not disappointed, brilliant fresh flavoursome food at a decent price and very attentive service. Good quality, authentic Indian restaurants are hard to come by in London in recent times but these guys have got it spot on. Thank you for an amazing meal and we will be back soon.

We went to Rajdoot on Valentine’s Day with high expectations. First they took ages to take our order. Something then went spectacularly wrong however as we had to wait over an hour to be served anything to eat and were served both starters and main at the same time. We had to eat this in 15 mins as we had theatre tickets afterwards. They also partly served us the wrong order which we were too frustrated to complain about. They then sent us the correct dish 5 mins before we left. To make things worse we were seated where we could plainly see takeaway order after takeaway order being couriered away. I think what added insult to industry was being charged full price at the end. Unfortunately won’t be returning. Hope others have a better experience!

Husbands birthday ruined. Whole order was vegetarian yet they sent meat samosas instead of vegetable. Bit into one and have been vomiting intermittently for an hour. Appalling customer service. Wanted to return the order, they wouldn’t refund despite it being my consumer right to return the food and receive a refund (and yes regardless of covid I am allowed to do this), instead they turned up with vegetarian samosas. Whole £50 order gone in the bin. They also deceitfully add a 20% service charge. Absolute cheek. Never ordering here again. Camden council and trading standards will be informed.

Hi so sorry to hear your disappointment but I’m quite confuse because I Reed your review and I saw the picture aswel but the hand writing I can confirm with you is not ours.also you mention 20%service charge we added and once again I can confirm with you we never add any service charge inside or out side.
You mentioned you had a conversation with us and you wanted return the food and refund the money but I checked with every one of my colleagues and no one recall any conversation with you regards the subject.
Therefore I believe you wanted ordered from us but by mistake you order different restaurant .
Once again so sorry to hear your disappointment.
Please try our food and I hope you will not to be disappointed.
Best regards

I ordered takeaway through Just Eat and it was thirty minutes late (not sure whose fault this was). In addition, I ordered three mint sauces and only received one (and the two previous times I ordered two each time and only received one). I don’t care about the money- I just want more mint sauce- I don’t quite know what I’m supposed to do!) Still 4 stars because the food is excellent.

I’m extremely sorry for everything.we just use just Eat to stay in digital market but we don’t recommend at all because most of the time just eat driver take off a lots of thing from delivery bag.
Best thing I recommend if you order directly to us then you will get your orders on time and if something missing we replace straight way.
So sorry for any inconvenience made.
I’m looking forward to getting your orders from you directly.

This is the second time that we have used this restaurant for a takeaway. The first time the food was excellent, fresh dishes cooked well. My second experience was as if I had ordered from a completely different place. The lamb dish was wrong to what I had ordered and so tough, it was awful. The chicken Kashmir was tasteless, bread full of oil. I cant understand how two orders can be so different. We complained and took the food back, the staff apologised and did offer to cook another meal, and a refund has been agreed but will take 7 days to reach my account. Back to home cooking for me.

Hi thank you for your review, but further to that I would like to bring to your attention that neither myself or any of my staff had encountered any such incident in our branch(Hampstead) I have checked our incident log book also. It may be possible, this occurred elsewhere, we do take complaints seriously, and like to give our customers positive outcome from them if possible. If you feel this was the right place you brought your food back to, we can confirm this via our cctv which is in place, or you can bring any proof of purchase from us(eg-time of incident,receipt) I will refund and compensate you for your trouble and experience with us. If this was meant for another rajdoot (which there are a few in and around london) then please take it off from our review at trip advisor, and put it on the right business site.
Best regards,
Rumen

I love Indian food and have eaten at some of the best (and worst) in the UK. Rajdoot though is exceptional. A very warm genuine welcome, nice intimate surroundings, with an immediate feel of quality. The food was delicious, flavoursome, and again felt like effort and good ingredients were used to create something above the norm. Trip advisor brought me here with its 8 out of 16000 in London, and these guys deserve it as they are really going the extra mile. Luckily this was walking distance from our Belsize Park accommodation and was a rare quality find. Highly recommended.

As per previous reviews the food is exceptional. As we live in Dubai, with an abundance of fantastic Indian food, we usually find that British Indian food is not as good, however, in this case we would say it’s on par. The manager was delightful and made suggestions based on our preferences and he truly hit the mark. Both mains were from the Chefs Special and were delicious, Mon Mon Murug, and Bahari Lamb.

This restaurant blew us away a couple of weeks ago when me & my family dined for the first time. First of all, the service is the best I have ever experienced. The waiters are so kind & helpful, with lots of knowledge about the menu and how to veganise dishes that are made from scratch! The food was piping hot, full of flavour & reasonably priced. I look forward to returning for my birthday meal because I know they will make it special. Thank you Rajdoot team!

The staff were very friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in the door. They were keen to make sure we were happy with our meals, stressing that we could make any changes or request something entirely different to what was on the menu. There were more than enough options as it was, especially with me being a vegetarian. We had ordered takeaway before but it was definitely better to eat in. My boyfriend had one of the chef's specials and he said it was the best curry he'd ever had!

I went with my friend for lunch and the food was heavily overpriced & tasted horrible.
We went for the lunch menu which was £9.95 for a 4 course meal but this was not a proper 4 course meal. There was no dessert and we could only have a few items. The service and food quality was appalling! I don’t understand how they have got excellent reviews. I certainly Won’t go back!!!

Went on Bank Holiday Monday the food was very nice and freshly cooked. We were served by Hussien who provided good customer service and was very helpful helping us to chose a dish we had not had before.
The restaurant is a small comfy place very close to Marylebone Village.
We will return again

Great food, great service! Wide variety of curries and each taste was deliciously different. Dishes were tailored to our spice/heat preference- they were super accommodating. Portion sizes were good. Definitely lives up to the reviews!
