We've been about three times to this one and to be honest we've never been impressed.  We went when it was first open - we thought it was "o.k" nothing more.  And we've been back a couple of times since with friends, as they had booked it.  On one occasion I had a chicken curry of some sort and it was about 90% potato and 10% chicken.  We had a lamb dish as well which had tiny pieces of meat in there, about the size of a 5 pence piece .  So, there was a "value" thing which they didn't quite come up to.  But also, the flavours were very bland.  That was our main criticism of it.  

 

To be honest, that's our main criticism of most of the Indian type restaurants that we go to.  Few of them use fresh spices and the food is deliberately bland, possibly to cater for local tastes?  If you visit a restaurant where they grind fresh spices then the flavour of the food is totally different.  That doesn't mean the food is  "hot and spicy", it's about depth of flavour.  If you're familiar with London and the restaurant scene around Southall, Brick Lane, etc., where there are lots of authentic Indian/Pakistani eateries, you'll know what I'm referring to.  

 

Rajdhani is a nice place to go and sit though - I'll give it that.
