Rajpoot - West Dorset

Great visit. the food and the staff were amazing and it made my day. I also loved the Tandoori chicken, the Naan-Brot was great aswell, best curry I ever had. definitely recommend visiting this restaurant.

Never disappoints, would really recommend trying Rajpoot. We've been coming for years and although we've now moved further away, we still make the drive because it's the best indian in the area!

Very helpful staff. Excellent food. Can't fault the portions!

I have been to this restaurant many times and always had a pleasant experience but last night my family were treated appalling by rude arrogant staff. We had not booked and arrived at about seven pm I thin I was recognised as I’d been many times before with my son, it was not full but we were asked to sit in front of the bar where takeaways were picked up and suggested the side room. Service was slow but we eventually got drinks and then eventually were asked if we wanted popadoms, we did and the waiter shot off before we found order mains and disappeared they eventually arrived and were good but we had been unable to order our main course. After a long wait after the popadoms we got to order and then the waiting really started we were totally ignored and saw no one for at least an hour when trying after a long wait to go to the bar to get more water and more drinks I was ignored. I appreciate the waiter was on the phone but afterwards disappeared. Meanwhile loads of takeaways were picked up and kept being brought out of the kitchen. Why take our business if too busy to actually serve us. I did after an hour ask if the food was coming as we had a 12 year old with us we’re getting tired and the wait ridiculous. I wax told ‘coming soon ‘ no apology no pleasantness, on the contrary the waiter seemed to go out of his way all night to be rude to us. Not once did anyone in all the time we sat there just come and apologise or ask if we were ok or needed more drinks etc most of us drinking water so just a jug refill when the food eventually came it was dumped down without a word not even to say what was what. The vindaloo was not authentically hot as I had asked it to be. My son has had it many times before there and the staff know and as I asked he does enjoy it properly spiced instead of made mild. We just wanted to eat and pay. The only time the waiter spoke to us was to tell me sister that she should leave either 15perceny tip or 12 etc he didn’t even ask if we had enjoyed our meal or apologise for how long it had taken. Just asked for a tip. Mr sister is a generous tipper but for probably the first time in her life didn’t want to tip just rudeness throughout the night that had ruined a meal that was close to £200 as there were six of us. She tried to compromise as she was embarrassed at the waiter telling her to tip and said she would round it up. The waiter became even more surly and told her not to bother. We left. No goodnight no thank you from the staff just what seemed to be either sneery silence or contempt and indifference. I had not seen that waiter before but I was embarrassed to have recommended it to me family. The good was good but the rudeness so appalling I would never go again and advise others to think twice they clearly couldn’t care less about their customers in the restaurant only getting the takeaways out the door. I rarely write reviews and have only ever written positive ones but it was appalling. My son was so upset as previously he has loved chatting to the staff and having them be impressed he can eat a vindaloo and now is confused as to why the man hated us so much and was so rude to him and his family

Very nice people, well below average food and **** expensive for what we had. Disappointing
