With the lockdown firmly in place, I decided to get a takeaway to try out some of the local offerings in my neighbourhood.
Living in central London, I’m blessed with several hundred options, even allowing for Covid-19 closures. We went with the Rajdoot in Hampstead, the most highly rated Indian Restaurant in my area. It’s certainly not the cheapest, with the food (via Deliveroo) arriving well on time.
The menu can be found here and is extensive, with not only the usual curry house staples, but also quite a few unique dishes I’ve not seen on menus before. I’ve had 3 or 4 curries here before, and I particularly remember the Goan Mixed Delight being worth a try if you fancy something a bit off the usual track.
We enjoyed the food very much, but at almost £50 for two of us for 4 poppadoms, starters, mains, one rice, one nan and a side dish it does struggle a bit in the value department. Having said that, it is in Hampstead, so maybe a bit more reasonable for those who can afford to live there!
All in all, I recommend this place as worth an order, but there are cheaper places that are almost a good if your pocket doesn’t stretch this far in these straitened times.
