Rasal in Three Rivers

The drinks and poppadoms came up very quickly but then we waited an hour for our starters which were acceptable at best. They were heavily underseasoned and dry. After this we wondered where our mains were as it took another 50 minutes. As it turns out they probably cooked the curry for this long as the chicken breast in the curry was beyond dry and hard. As well as this, the plates they gave were dirty and greasy (which were replaced). My naan hadn't been served and when I asked where it was the waiter got defensive and said I hadn't ordered one. They did however supply a free vegetable curry. As a wholethe food was bland and tasted like it was microwaved and certainly not worth the wait.

Banquet Night is amazing value. The food is always great and the beers available are decent. A regular place of mine to go for a good curry

I have been there about 5 times over the years. My last visit exceeded my expectations. Prevoulsy I had found the food to be well cooked but slightly underwhelming (read: bland). On sunday I had one of the best curries that I have eaten in years. Other members of our party made similar comments. I am looking forward to my return visit.

Amazing dinner last night, the Chicken Rasal special is unreal. Waiter was really helpful with some dietary requirements. We will be back very soon.

Probably the most tasteless curry I have had ! The chicken biryani had no flavour and greasy as was the chicken Bhuna. The meat in the Sizzling lamb was tough .Poppadoms were soft and overall a major disappoint after reading some positive reviews .. sadly won’t be returning anytime soon !

One of our favourite locals for a great dinner, nice wine and good service. We look forward to coming here constantly and appreciate that fantastic food cooked fresh can sometimes take longer. The staff, beer and wine make for a lovely evening and is our first choice for sitting in or taking away. Thank you Rasal, will see you in a couple of weeks!

Awful service. Took 40 minutes to order a drink and then didn’t get said drink until an hour of being sat down. Food took forever to come. We were also squeezed onto a table and had no space whatsoever. Arrived at 7 and only left at 9.45. No apologies for poor service or any offers of free drinks. Safe to say I’m NEVER eating here again.

Not what it used to be.Waited 2 hours for our main never to arrive, after which point we walked out and paid 25 pounds for a couple of papadams and 2 beers. Manager was highly defensive and rude towards us claiming it was our fault as one member of our party arrived later.Will not be going back there and would not recommend for a sit-down meal as many others were also complaining that they put takeaway customers first.

Extremely disappointed. My wife had been praising this restaurant for many years. The first time we went to try it and we didn't even get to order any food. 60 mins to finally get a waiter to take our order, at which point we had had enough of waiting. We asked how long the food would take and the waiter shrugged his shoulders and said "erm about 45-50minutes". Not a very good first impression.

The best Indian restaurant in the area by a mile. As a family we have been going to Rasal for over 12 years and always had amazing food and friendly service. Yet another top meal tonight! Chris M.
