The Dilraj

Best Indian in Leyland! Food is delicious and service is great....enough said

Recently passing through the area and decided to give this takeaway a try. Ordered directly through their page with a 20 minutes wait time. Immediately received an email confirming the order. Chose the vegetarian banquet for 2, which consisted of onion, chutney , yoghurt starters, 2 x poppadoms, Naan bread, onion bhaji's and vegetable samosa's. Main courses are Vegetable Korma, Mushroom Bhuna , Aloo Gobi potatoes. All come with 1 x large portion of boiled rice. As promised & 20 minutes later, the order was ready. The takeaway is clean with friendly staff. So much food it lasted us for 2 evening meals...not bad for a total of £20! Each curry was perfectly cooked, could not fault them. Very tasty and fresh. The 2nd night we added our own rice and poppadoms to make a more than adequate meal. Will certainly use this place again and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to give the Dil Raj a try. They certainly provide great customer satisfaction and very tasty food. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! THANK YOU TO THE DIL RAJ STAFF & CHEFS!

My nephew got a Madras curry and rice and extras he sent the curry for me with my sister I live in Preston , it was absolutely delicious Iwould recommended it , there was plenty of two

About a week or so ago, I had an accident which meant my car had to be scrapped. As a result, I have been stuck at home, unable to easily travel to my favourite restaurants and had to get delivery. My goto for Indian food was The Elephant, but unfortunately, they do not do delivery. So I had to find an alternative for my craving for curry. So I went on Just Eat and I chose the Dil Raj, with it being on the same block as Mai Wok, a Chinese takeaway I used to work at. Had a few deliveries from there and my experience is overall very positive. So, when my delivery driver arrived, he was very patient and nice when I was slow to open the door since I cannot hear my door when people knock very well. When I have Indian, I always start with a Poppadom, and these Poppadoms are very crispy and rich. As soon as you take a bite, it slowly melts in your mouth. And for main, on my first night, I had a Madras. Very thick sauce, which I absolutely loved. Madras is a staple curry I personally opt for, and a good bit spicier than my previous curries from The Elephant. On my second night, I had a Jalfrezi, a more hotter choice. This one, I am mildly disappointed by, which is the main reason for me dropping the 5th star. It was hot, don't get me wrong, hotter than any other Jalfrezi I have had, but my issue is that if you let it rest for even 10 minutes, it starts to leak out oil akin to a spill. Yeaaah, probably not gonna have that one again for a while, especially since it is also kinda bland for a Jalfrezi, which is usually decently flavoured. It's not normally the most flavoursome of curries, but even then, it doesn't reach my expected mark. However I do appreciate the banana pepper. Lastly, on night three, I had a Vindaloo. This, quite literally, blew me away. I haven't had a curry this hot in a very long time. If you try a curry at the Dil Raj, do not go for the Vindaloo if you are weak to chillies, this one is very damn hot and not for the feint-hearted. However, I much prefer the way it is done at Dil Raj over The Elephant because they opt for putting smaller tomatoes in rather than one big tomato chunk, and I personally find that a lot better because they add a really soft but pleasant texture while my mouth is seared. In addition, I had some other miscellaneous items, including some Onion Bhajis, which taste nice, but again, a bit too much oil. And some Chicken Spring Rolls, which are also very nice but I am not so keen on the bed of raw onion. And I had some Pepsi to wash it all down. Overall, a very good alternative to what is my favourite Indian restaurant given my change in circumstances and almost definitely worth the price. Will be returning more in the future. (New Edit: Marking up to 5 stars. Their consistency has been on point since this review was first posted, so The Dilraj deserve a full rating!)

Best Indian in Leyland the vegetarian banquet for two is delicious and more than enough for anyone. Try it you won't be disappointed.

Was in Preston ordered a takeaway. The samosas, seek kebab and lamb was lovely. Next time in town will be ordering again.
