The Rajasthan II @ India Street

Savor London's Highest Acclaimed Indian Cuisine

Rajasthan II encapsulates the quintessential charm of an Indian dining experience in London, effortlessly blending traditional flavors with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Nestled near Tower Hill, this restaurant gracefully marries authenticity with service that makes every visit feel like coming home. As you are ushered to your table, the ambiance strikes you first — a balance of dim, inviting lights, and spacious tables, setting a comfortable stage for both intimate dinners or lively gatherings. The menu is refreshingly comprehensive, boasting signature dishes such as Chicken Tikka Jaipuri and a Goan Lamb that patrons praise for its boldness and perfectly pitched spice level. This establishment isn’t shy about celebrating the spices either; each dish resonates with distinct, robust flavors, gracefully plated to entice every sense.

While the service alone merits a trip to Rajasthan II — prompt yet unobtrusive, friendly but never overbearing — the crowning glory truly lies in the food. The Mixed Tandoori Grill comes highly recommended, revered by regulars as superbly cooked and perfectly spiced. Completing a meal here is incomplete without their expertly prepared garlic naan that could stand as an accolade all on its own. On less busy evenings, or those preferring quieter settings, it’s easy to soak in the atmosphere without the clamor typical of London eateries. The vibrant symphony of spices hits high notes familiar and nostalgically unexpected. Dining at Rajasthan II not only assures a flavorful adventure for your taste buds but also offers a well-rounded culinary journey accentuated by sincere hospitality and impeccable service that ensures you’ll cross their threshold more than once. — Audrey Al Dente
