Rajpoot Taunton Restaurant

You'll find Rajpoot tucked away on Corporation Street, in that stretch where Taunton's eating scene actually gets interesting. It's the kind of place where the menu isn't trying to reinvent the wheel—they know what they're doing with their biryanis, their tandooris, and their house curries, and they do it properly. The dining room has that warm, unpretentious feel you want from a neighbourhood Indian restaurant: comfortable enough for a casual Friday night, decent enough if you're bringing someone who actually cares about their food. Service is genuine and unhurried, and the prices won't make you wince—you're looking at proper meals for under £15 in most cases.
