Rajdoot Tandoori - Birmingham (Jewellery Quarter)

• I asked them to make one of the curries extra hot and man they were eye watering spicy so I had mop it up with sweet nan and yogurt
• We were seated on a plump banquette in the reception area with plenty of bombay mix for company
• The interior is both sumptuous and intimate
• The lamb shish was spicy and of a good quality
• Whilst the flavour combinations in the lamb chops were well matched
• My chicken was a heavenly
• This dish shows that meat can be just an optional extra when the food is prepared so expertly
• The Peshwari Naan was a sweet delight and a welcome addition to the meal
• A wide selection of beers and wines are also available
• What marks out Rajdoot from the rest is the ambiance
• Ornate setting is complemented by the low lighting and unhurried service
• The restaurant was actually started by a very refined and highly cultured Kashmiri Pandit
• The ceiling is the timeless and rare 'Khatamband' style of Kashmir
• So now its in the hands of an owner who's basically milching his customers with both hands
• The service quality is also bad for the price paid
• A restaurant with such good interiors and such high price you would imagine that the cliental are mostly professionals and upper middle class families but thats wishful thinking
• When you visit it you are likely to see cantankerous
• Dewars or at least Vat 69 but what you would see in fact is Famous Grouse and Cadenhead&rsquo
• S Talisker (something that should never have been bottled in the first place and this is not the 10 Year Old
• The establishment is in a doleful phase of its existence with the current owners
• Because this could easily be on the the finest in Birmingham but only if the food quality is brought up several notches
• M an over opinionated twerp with a keyboard
• The ones that I have seen demise with my own eyes have been poorly judged concepts (lobsters)
• The restaurant business is not a lottery
