Lovely little Indians, space isn't great your pushing past other tables to get to yours but it's fine once your sat down. (We were sat on the smaller side) And 3 of the four tables were taken. Food was beautiful, would highly recommend. Service was abit slow but food brought hot and all together. Bring your own alcohol works! We toke a bottle of wine and they supplied the glasses we did have to request a ice bucket but that personal choice. Would return and would recommend for sit down and take out.

Very helpful staff and chef as I have some food allergies and they made me a delicious fresh meal. The Dahl was rather liquid, but very tastey and my husband's chicken was very good. The tables are rather packed in, but good music, clean and friendly.

Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had—super authentic! We were initially worried it might be toned down for English tastes, but it was full of flavor and absolutely delicious. I can’t remember the specific chicken dish we ordered, but it was fantastic, especially paired with warm naans. The crispy poppadoms were a perfect touch, along with fries and a beautiful mint sauce. I’d highly recommend this place!

We discovered Rajpoot restaurant whilst on holiday in St Ives and so glad that we did. The starters and main courses were absolutely amazing, service great and very good atmosphere. We have eaten at a lot of Indian restaurants over the years and I have to say this is one of the best I have experienced.
