I always make a point of coming here when I'm in Manchester - I live in Canada now and there is nowhere here that I have found that can match the old-school luxury feeling of rajdoot. The food is always excellent as well, but I can find good food in lots of places. However I can't find this blast from the past anywhere else - there is a reason it's been around for so long.Looking forward to my next visit the next time I'm across the pond.

A lovely experience from start to finish. The decor is ambient, traditional and comfortable. It really gives you a feel that this restaurant is serious about the experience. Otherwise, it’s my kind of curry house. It’s nice sit down first in the soft area before going to your table and have a drink. The staff are very helpful, pleasant, and will go out of their way to make the experience better. The curry was great, full of flavour and the portion size was perfect. I’m a fan of the candle box warmer on the table that keeps the curry pots warm. Best wishes from Tom and Josh! ?

Food so bland I thought that my taste buds had been anaesthetised - not even basic onion and garlic had been added. My korma was cream mixed with turmeric.Chutneys poor too - onions tasted old and dry and mango was way too sweet. Expensive for what it is.Save your money and go to Rice and Three, Northern Quarter instead.

Great family run curry house. Lovely vibe inside, staff all very helpful and try to go that extra distance to help. Foods great too, definitely worth checking out.

Accommodating of large group booking and the selection of the Set Menu A was superb way to taste our way through their wide range of food.The addition of the candlelit hot plates helped to keep all the individual bowls hot so we didn't have to rush eating - personal highlight was the flavoursome and crispy peshwari naans.

I visited with my son and my partner and we had a great time. Nice atmosphere and the food was just amazing. The staff was also very friendly and polite. As a big fan of garlic naan, I can say that Rajdoot Tandoori has the best one I ever tried. I definitely recommend getting it along with the lamb.

Authentic, wholesome and tasty food! Had a lovely meal with work colleagues, the food was amazingly tasty and large portions! The garlic naan is a must!

RAW CHICKEN!! I would not recommend going to this restaurant. I asked for a chicken korma. Firstly, it did not taste like a chicken korma and secondly the chicken was raw (see picture for reference).

This is a great spot. Fabulous customer service. The curry was delicious, fragrant and delicate mix of spices. I will definitely be back.
Went for a large work party, and the service, food and ambience were fantastic. Can't recommend highly enough!

Ive been here a few times and its always been a great experience. I find the nepalese slant of the food gives it a richer range of subtle flavours than regular indian food. Everything Ive eaten so far has been totally delicious. Its also got very nice decor inside which transports you into a different world. Also in a great location with lots of attractions nearby once youve finished your meal. Looking forward to going back again.

The draught beer was awful, tasted watered down or line cleaner. The poppadoms and plates were also awful. Had cod starter, palletable. Main was OK, didn't feel too heavy. Will not return!

The overall experience was very poor. No plate with the poppadoms, which weren’t very fresh. Then main meal took over 1 hr and arrived with main dish 5 minutes before rice and side !?! Actual food was ok, but definitely not the spicy dish I ordered.
