We went with the beef shin that was recommended by a friend and a spicier chicken dish. The food was maybe the best Indian food I've had. It was spicy and the flavors were deep and rich. I'd eat the beef shin every day and the garlic naan was a perfect compliment. The owner talked to us and explained the region, the spices and the cooking method. 2 mains, naan and a glass of wine and still water for 40 pounds including tip

Rajput is a family run Indian restaurant that serves high quality food, both in its restaurant, and…read moreat its takeaway. (It also has a takeaway only business located on Leeds road.) It serves a full range of Indian foods as you would expect, and has both the more traditional dishes that many people will recognise, but also more contemporary fusion foods. It also offers tasty kebabs and burgers in its takeaway, for people who are not so keen on Indian. The restaurant is clean and attractive, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and are always willing to answer queries. All in all, definitely worth a visit.

Can't complain about this restaurant; staff were courteous and attentive, decor was smart,…read moreatmosphere was good. We opted for the evening buffet, which was great value at just under £10. This consisted of poppadoms with a pickle tray (great stuff, had my fave lime pickle amongst 7 others!), followed by a selection of starters, then you can take your pick from the 9 different curries on offer in the buffet. The starters were lovely and freshly cooked, nicely spiced chicken kebabs, pakora and onion bhadji. My fiance was vegetarian and we were asked if either of us was so before ordering, which was nice since she then got served a vegetarian starter selection which was equally tasty. The main buffet itself was very good, a nice selection of curries ranging from mild butter chicken up to a nicely hot (for a chilli head like me) meat dish. They were all delicious; I would have enjoyed them ordered singly and wouldn't have known they were from a buffet. I can highly recommend this place, I'm sad I only got to visit once since their non-buffet dishes looked very exciting, so well worth a visit if you've got a curry craving after a day in the Dales...

Though the sign alludes to a unique experience with "Contemporary Indian Cuisine" I don't see it. I realize this restaurant is part of a chain, but I don't think this branch is putting in the effort the highly rated other branches are. The decor of the restaurant is quite sparse first off. The food was quite mediocre-average, but at least they had Kingfisher on tap! I didn't see many unique "contemporary" dishes on the menu. Unfortunately not my first choice for a curry in Harrogate.

This is my favourite Indian Restaurant. I have eaten here several times and have carried out curry…read morefrom here almost as many times. The atmosphere is great, the restaurant is well decorated, the staff don't hover and allow you the time you need to order your food. The mixed starter here is the best I have had. They also do a mean balti. Good selection of beers on draft and bottled. Price is at the higher end that I'd be willing to pay but the quality of the food makes it worth it. Service has always been good. Definitely a recommendation.

Originally planned to eat at Shalimar down the road, but the signage of food photos and meal combos…read moreput us off. IMO, this cheapens the restaurant and makes it feels a bit lower quality. We actually happened to pass Ali Raj on the way and my boyfriend noticed that the decor looked very authentic old school English Indian (mirrored walls and ceilings!). Also a bit "seedy" (not in a bad way) as it is upstairs on the second floor of what appears to be an old house, above an English microbrewery. I must say we were pleasantly impressed and thrilled after eating here! Hopefully more Yelpers will visit and leave many more reviews and photos giving Ali Raj the credit it deserves. -Delicious Cobra beers on tap. Cheers mate! -Excellent Poppadoms with chili sauce and mango chutney. -Meat Samosa- good flavors. The meat was lamb. A bit spicy. Not in traditional pastry dough more like a thin phyllo dough. -Onion Bahji- perfectly crispy with traditional mint sauce. Great flavor and texture in a ball. -Chicken Tikka Madras- so spicy and perfect. Chicken tender. -Special Chicken Jalfrezi- great tomato and onion flavors. The "special" here is the massive amount of fresh green chilis. -Pilau Rice- soft and flavorful with spices. Perfect for serving with the curries we ordered. -Naan- didn't seemed to be cooked in a tandoor. It seemed to be cooked in a dry pan and VERY flat. No air or fluff like it should be. Overall great find. Definitely check This place out if you're in Harrogate!!!
