This is an area I have not really explored yet, so I decided to take a look at some restaurant names and find something I would like to try.
Ranjit’s Kitchen was the first to jump out at me, so I had a quick look at the menu the night before to give me a head start on arrival.
Looking Around
On entry Ranjit’s Kitchen, it was very bright, warm and had a nice cosy feel.
We were welcomed and shown to a table, inside doesn’t have many seats and you can’t book in advance so you may need to wait for a table.
The Food…
Looking around everyone was enjoying the food, and it smelled very good….so I couldn’t wait for my dinner to arrive.
Starter
Daal of the Day £3.95
Panjabi lentils or Panjabi curry in a large bowl, served with 2 rotis
I am not a soup person of any kind really, but it was cold today and I thought why not let’s try it and see what it’s like.
So as you can see from the photo above, that was today’s Daal.
For me this was just ok, I knew to start/ordering this I might not like it but I thought I would give it a try….as I said it was ok for me.
Would I order this again? not really but that’s a personal preference.

Main Course
Ranjit’s special pakora £3.95
Made with a mix of cauliflower, spinach, onions, potatoes and spices in gramflour batter served with chutney
This is one of my favourites anytime I get an Indian, so I was looking forward to this dish.
This was really nice and mega fresh!
The flavours were really nice and light, and the batter was perfect so thin but had a nice crisp to it.
Tonight I could have easily had another batch of this!!

Mango Lassi £1.95
a cooling yoghurt based drink
This is my MUST HAVE Indian drink, every time I go to an Indian restaurant I always have to order this.
For me this was just so so, it wasn’t sweet like I have had it in many other places but it was nice.

Sweets
Now, this is the part I always like as I have a sweet tooth, so now it was time to try some Indian sweets.
Ladoo £2
a handmade ball-shaped traditional sweet made with gramflour and sugary syrup.
I have never had these so I didn’t know what to expect…
These were very nice!! I liked the texture, the flavour and everything about them!
Can’t wait to have these again!

Barfi £2
a smooth fudge like sweet, made with milk, sugar and cream
This was recommended by a member of staff tonight, so I ordered them to see if it was a good recommendation or not.
Again mmmm so good I don’t know what I liked better Ladoo or this.

Snowflake Gulab Jamun £2.50
dough balls fried and soaked in sweet syrup and then rolled in delicate coconut flakes.
I am a big fan of Gulub Jamen and don’t have it as much as I would like so I had to order it tonight along with the rest of the sweets.
So this was an interesting take on Gulub Jamen with the coconut flakes….presentation looked nice and the taste was ok.
Personally, I prefer the original way where they are warm and soaked in syrup….but that’s just me and my sweet tooth talking.

Overall
Tonight I had a really nice time, I enjoyed the food and more so the sweets!!!
I can’t wait to go back to try more dishes and have the sweets again.
See you soon guys.
