Now closed; was a curry house in [[Locale Docklands|Docklands]]. According to Google Street View, it was closed and boarded up by May 2012. The information below is retained for people who want to know what it was like. <div class="old_info"> Curry house in [[Locale Docklands|Docklands]]. Their website describes their cuisine as South Indian. They also offer takeaway and delivery, and you can order online [http://hungryhouse.co.uk/cafe-rajistan from Hungry House] or [http://www.urbanbite.com/UBdirect.asp?webname=caferajistan from Urbanbite]. [[Kake]], [[bob]], and [[doop]] tried out the delivery option in February 2008. Of the starters, crab malabari (£5) was OK, though rather salty, while malai phool (£3.50) was just bizarre; a combination of broccoli, cauliflower, diced carrots, and stone-in green olives. Main courses were about the same standard. Lamb taba (£6) had fairly tough chunks of lamb but also decently-cooked strips of red and green bell peppers, albeit in a scarily bright red sauce. Fish bhuna (£7) was OK. The fish component was still on the bone (I mention this because some people prefer it but others find it annoyingly fiddly). Vegetable jalfrezi was (according to [[doop]], our veg jalfrezi expert) nothing special, and a bit greasy. doop also mentioned that he would have preferred the fresh green chillis to be sliced rather than whole, to let their flavour permeate the dish a bit more. Rajistan patiala (£2.75) was disappointing; described as "cubes of butter and soft aubergines simmered in spiced tomatoes and onion masala, topped with golden fried cashew nuts", it was actually an overly-sweet mush of dairy-based stodge with a few stray cubes of aubergine (according to [[Kake]], that is; [[bob]] liked it). Rice and poppadoms were perfectly fine; poppadoms fairly light and not greasy. The accompanying chutneys were basically unidentifiable gloop of different colours, though the chopped onion relish was fine, and fresh enough. We paid just over £40 in total for ample food for three people. We might order from here again, to try out some of the other menu options; but in general, our verdict so far is that the menu looks a lot more interesting than it actually is.
