Over three decades, we've cultivated a unique culinary identity by blending authentic Indian techniques with contemporary presentation. Head Chef Gurwinder Singh brings extensive expertise from kitchens across India and Europe, leading a team of specialists who each contribute regional culinary insights.We prioritise fresh, high-quality ingredients to craft dishes that showcase the vibrancy and diversity of Indian gastronomy, from tandoori specialties to Glasgow-inspired curries.

We came here tonight for a family meal. Ordered drinks they came and my son noticed the glasses were dirty but also had what looked like dirt in them, told the waiter no apology said he would bring more this took ages and we had 2 ask where they were. brought new drinks and again the glasses weren't very clean. I asked for another glass of water… the waiter brought a jug, the jug was filthy and full of these black dirty spots again no apology was given. Food wasn't up too much either starter's were lively but main meal was nit and tbh I was totally put off with the dirty glasses and jug

Was quoted 20 mins to collect a take away. Turned up at 20 mins, then waited a further 25 mins before I finally got my meal. No offer of a refund, only a measly apology. Understand it's busy, but don't quote a time if you can't deliver on it. lucky they've got a captive audience in lenzie. Top tip potential customers. Buy a "spice tailor" curry kit and make your own in 10 mins!

Having been recommended to this takeaway Indian Restaurant, I found it to be disappointing. The tandoori chicken was like ready meal chicken from marks and spencer!! The chapatis were cold !!altogether not the best but the pakora was good and the sauce was tasty. The boy that delivered the food was nice too. Thought I would try but definitely be back to my fav Delhi Darbar. Ohh it was very expensive also. xThe sauce was very thick and jelly gravy like . Won't be rushing back.

Very disappointed with our meal from Rasoi tonight. We have been customers for years with them, and have always been very happy with them. Tonight however the Curry sauce was very watery and we ordered 1 chapati plus 1 tandoori chapati, which we paid for, got 2 normal ones. Rice was awful. When I phoned to complain I felt I was just dismissed and told it would be put in the book for a discount next time we ordered. Won't be ordering with them again and don't recommend them.

My parents went and enjoyed a meal at Rasoi this week with vouchers which I had gifted them. The meal total came to half the value of the voucher. When they came to settle their bill they were advised they would have to use the whole voucher therefore a £35 meal becoming a £70 meal. My parents requested the remaining value to be left and they will return for another meal. This request was denied. Perhaps Rasio’s management team may wish to consider this unfair policy or make their gift voucher T&C very clear.
