Rajpoot

Head down to Cotteridge and you'll find Rajpoot tucked away on Pershore Road—the sort of neighbourhood spot that's been doing steady business for years without needing to shout about it. You're walking into a traditional setup: warm lighting, straightforward décor, the kind of place where regulars know their order by heart. The kitchen takes North Indian seriously, whether that's their tandoori work, proper curries built on actual spice knowledge, or breads that actually taste like they've seen a proper clay oven. It's not fancy, but that's rather the point. You come here because the food's honest and the prices won't break you—expect to spend around £10-15 per head on a decent meal.
