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!)
