Upon entering we were met by a friendly hostess who seated us immediately. Very shortly we were approached by the star of this establishment, the owner and the extremely hospitable Mr Gulam. I wanted something that wasnt on menu and he told me it would be no issues for him to have it prepared for me. He also suggested some other dishes that weren't on the menu and brought as complimentary cocktail. The restaurant has its own label of wine which was excellent! The meal itself was fresh, hot and extremely tasty! Throughout the meal we were checked on and our drinks were refilled. I left Happy, well fed and 5lbs heavier! Highly recommend this for a good Indian meal!

For a decade, Rajpoute has been a key part of our family's dining traditions, and a priority…read moredestination each time that we come back through the Geneva area. The quality of the dishes exceeds any other Indian/Pakistani restaurant that we've ever tried.. anywhere. The dining experience also is unparalleled. From our very first time at the restaurant, the owner, Shahzad (and at the time his father, who previously owned the restaurant), along with his lovely staff, all welcomed us with warm and genuine hospitality. They have truly become like extended family over the years. Shahzad's genuine attention to detail and personal care he puts into crafting a wide array of dishes, never ceases to impress. Usually, at most restaurants, I tend to want to order the same dish over and over because it's a safe choice that I know I'll like, but Rajpoute is the only place where I'll happily try new dishes each time, because I know that anything I order will be, and is, excellent. Each time that we come to Rajpoute as a family, we try a different set of dishes, many of which are personalized and suggested by Shahzad, based on our individual taste preferences. No meal here ever disappoints. Shahzad and his staff go above and beyond to make sure their customers have a wonderful and memorable time dining. The beautiful, intricate decor and warm lighting make the ambiance so cozy and inviting, and a great backdrop for any type of conversation, whether it's a casual dinner or a celebration of a big life event. What truly stands out about this restaurant, in addition to the superbe fresh ingredients and flavors, is the personal care put into the dining experience. Rajpoute is so much more than just a five-star place to eat. If you're in the Geneva area, you absolutely must make a detour here for a meal!

Everytime I come to Geneva, I try to find time to come here once more. After 26 years, we always get the same warm welcome from the waiters, and the big boss himself. The prices, of course, have more than doubled since the days of the French Franc.... But the setting is still awesome, with wooden walls and ceiling, the complimentary welcome drinks and poppadoms are great while looking up the menu... Food-wise, everything is great, from the luxury sharing tandoori platters to the traditional tikka massala, kasmari pullao and cheese naan.

This gem of an Indian restaurant is located in the mandarin oriental in the center of Geneva. So as you enter the restaurant your first impression is a wow. The colors, dark wood and purples. it is sensory enlightenment. You can also smell the faint hint of cinnamon and curry in the distance. Sharp dressed businesspeople occupied the tables. That sat is quickly. The service was very quick and the servers all smiled warmly as they performed there duties. Not normal in Geneva. Nobody smiles here. Odd. The server went through the menus options we quickly picked from the options. For came quickly. Wine came quickly. Food was amazing and so tasty. So many flavors.

Walk through the door and breathe in the heady spices of long simmering lamb, chicken, and prawns. Listen to the Tablas and Tanpura snaking into your brain like a Banded Krait. You can recapture that sensation at home by playing a flute through your nose and humming in falsetto at the same time. Settle into your cozy table and feel the ayurvedic vibe. Do not think about acid reflux...just yet. That's all mental anyway, at least till it works its way down to the labanza. The Decor: Early Rajah, a nice family style family owned place layered over a former French Bistro that took a dirt dive. Yes, it has an Indian feel and let's call it comfortable. It was. The Staff: One dude all alone and doing the best with a busy house. The waiter was like one of those guys at the Fair spinning plates on sticks, but a pleasant and efficient fellow was he. Soon he will spin a plate of one lonely, almost crisp (as in yesterday) Papadum which will land at your table without the caddy of Mint Yogurt Sauce, Carrot Chutney, or Mango Lemon Pickle. Maybe Swiss Indians are more Spartan and economical, because all you get is a tired little disk for the table that's flirting with stale. There is full Bar. But a Manhattan crafted by Mahatma? Naw. Stick with a beer. To complete the experience I suggest why not try an Indian brew? You have a choice of a Cobra, and well, a Cobra. The Food: Next comes out the Garlic Naan. (One per order.) It was hot (temp), kinda chewy, and kinda garlicky. Somewhere between spongy and soft which is acceptable in a Naan and not too much in a date. But shouldn't the Naan accompany the meal? Fine, let's not quibble over the nibble as it was fine with my beer and I saved half for some serious scooping later. Out came a heated dinner plate right from the oven or the Kitchen-Aid Dishwasher. This was followed by a tray full of the small dishes I ordered with my eyes. Chicken Punjabi, a Chef's Specialty, with Two Sauces was actually simply moist boneless tenders in a dark green glop spiced as "Medium". No two sauces, but who cares, it was hot (temp again) and remember that an Indian "Medium" (spice) is a Swiss blast furnace. The sauce did it's job. Nose running, brow sweating, lips tingling, The spice was nice. The Chicken was served with Basmati Rice chocked full of Chickpeas along with a bowl of Dal Tarka. (A good name for an Italian heart throb). This was basically Lentil Stew in a Tomato based sauce. Also, there was my personal favorite, Palak Paneer (which should have the consistency of heavy cream) with Indian Farmer's Cheese chunks. The dish here was frozen chopped Spinach with soft Onions and store bought Cheese and if it wasn't then it tasted like it. No matter, I ate it all anyway. Finally, the Raita (Yogurt, Cucumber, and Tomato bits with a touch of Lemon) showed up late but better late than not. The chow was hot and this helped cool the bubbling cauldron of heat in my throat. No dessert was offered (usually Gulab Jamun or Jalebi which are confections drenched in a cloying Honeyed Syrup). No Rice Pudding (a gift from Colonial times). No big deal, but they didn't any Bird Seed (Good and Plenty) in a bowl by the front door on your way out which is one reason why I go to Indian places. So, I went to the Hotel with the breath of a Bombay Wharf Rat. The bill for two was 100 CHF which seemed a bit fat to me. Just sayin'. Essentially, it was yeoman like Indian fare, and no better than that, and nothing you can't find anywhere and everywhere there are Indians which is anywhere and everywhere. If the goal was to give my guts a rest and something to do besides work on the Fondue, Raclette, and Rosti then Spice of India succeeded.
