Raja Rani (Plöck) in Heidelberg

Delicious butter chicken, well-seasoned and generously served. It’s comfort food that feels like a warm hug, with super fast and efficient service. Highly recommend!

The food was good... But we had to wait about an hour for our food. Sometimes we weren't even sure whether our order had been taken. If necessary, leave less locally if the capacity is not suitable. The portions were OK and the taste was good.

We can highly recommend the restaurant!

Very cozy and nice. I've been there twice.

If I could do it, I would’ve given ZERO stars. I had the worst food experience at Raja Rani (Plöck). The Indian curry was watery, lacking any real flavor, and overloaded with artificial color to make it look appetizing—but it tasted like nothing! It was a complete waste of money. The quality of ingredients and preparation were far below expectations for an “Indian” restaurant. On top of that, the service was appalling. The waiter was extremely rude, had no sense of hospitality, and didn’t even know how to serve or place plates properly. Instead of providing good service, he was more interested in acting over-smart with unnecessary and improper communication. It’s clear that this place focuses more on catering to foreigners, particularly German customers, who might not be familiar with real Indian flavors and gives good tips to the servants—allowing them to get away with subpar food and service. If you’re looking for authentic Indian food, I strongly recommend going elsewhere. This place is a big NOOOOO from me! I've noticed that in recent times, I've encountered situations where some people from Pakistan are concealing their true identity by claiming to be Indian. This has happened multiple times, whether in customer service settings like restaurants or in other contexts. For instance, in this particular place, I asked the receptionist and the waiter where they were from, and they told me they were from Punjab, India. However, when a German woman asked them the same question, they claimed to be from Pakistan. I don't understand why this is happening so frequently throughout Europe.

Great vibe, reasonably priced and very tasty food. The staff is also very friendly!

If you are Indian don't visit the restaurant. It's Indian food made for german peoples taste.

Food was super tasty. Had 5 different dishes and all very good. Service was top.

Very good indian food, enjoyed food every time I went there.

The tandoori chicken was good. However, the other dishes were totally unauthentic. Despite my request to make it authentic the other dishes were bland.

Super tasty food at a good price, friendly staff can only recommend it.

Very tasty dishes, friendly service and good prices; gladly again and again! During peak times between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m., placing the order may take longer.

Always very good! Big portions and great taste. I've never had anything to complain about.

Nope. Especially not if you are normally a fan of Indian cuisine. Doesn't do the country any honor. Minimal taste in a minimal atmosphere for prices that seem minimal at first... but when you see and taste what you get for it, they are ultimately high enough.

Delicious food and friendly owner. We really had a good time. Thank you.

Delicious food, my favorite dish is chicken curry with rice and lentil bread with mangolassi, I meet up there with friends and chamomile herbal tea is also delicious in the wet weather. Service is also quite nice. Prices are also okay for the city of Heidelberg.

Food took over 1h to reach. Portion was extremely small, bland and for my friends who order spicy it came totally nonspicy. The service was super slow we had to call the server several times for fixing the order. Nan bread literally came after the full table was finished 1h 30 min later. Worse experince ever.

I was last in this restaurant several times in Heidelberg in 2012. And I'm happy that it's still there, 12 years later. Still good Indian food. I had butter paneer tika korma with naan and rice. And the delicious mango lassi with it.

Ze hebben zeker de gunfactor door de dan men heel vriendelijk is.Maar sec bekeken. De entourage is matig en het is prima maar niet bijzonder. Prijs kwaliteit is in verhouding.

Delicious food. We've been going here for years and are never disappointed.

We had an amazing dining experience at this Indian restaurant! The Dal Tadka, Chilly Paneer, and Paneer Butter Masala were absolutely delicious—authentic flavors and perfect textures. The service was outstanding, with attentive and friendly staff. Highly recommend this place for a delightful meal!

Worst food ever. Pathetic quantity and taste.

The food is definitely not Indian,it tastes not good as per indian taste. We ordered some pakora they were so bad also the bhindi and paneer tikka masala was tasteless The tomato soup taste like a gravy

Food was very good and staff were so friendly. There are also many vegetarian and vegan dishes. I'm looking forward to going there again✨️

Lots of options (vegetarian & vegan). The mango & banana lassi is also delicious. It was good - we'd love to come back! Luckily you can pay by card.

Sorry but none of our food nor the masala chai was authentic or even close…

Good value for money and delicious food. Gulap Jamun dessert was delicious and not too sugary.

Food is not good service also not good

Very very delicious curry 🍛! I chose No. 73 Spinach Tomato Lamb Curry + Mango Milkshake, which together cost about 17 euros or more. The seasoning is very strong and there is a lot of mutton. The restaurant environment is very good and there is no strange smell. The food is served quickly and the boss lady is very gentle. It would be great if this restaurant opened in Frankfurt, then I would eat there at least three times a week TT (Shows a clean plate! Very delicious food!)

The definition of comfort food. Service is very friendly and fast, even if the place is packed which can happen during lunch time. Just don't expect something exquisite. If you like spicy, let the waiter know during the order.

It’s been ten years since I’ve eaten here and I still dream of having it again someday. The best flavors!

The owner of the restaurant rudely asked us to “order more food next time” after we had already placed our order with the waiter. If she had an issue with the amount of food we ordered, she should’ve told us at the time we placed the order, so we could’ve left and went somewhere else instead. We tried to leave after she said this, and the waiter told us to sit down because the food was already being made. The quality of the food matched the poor attitude of the owner. I feel bad for her.

The staff was very rude and unwelcoming and the food lacked authentic flavours( it tasted nothing like Indian/Pakistani food at all). I would not recommend eating here.

I went there with my friends and each of us ordered something from the menu. After a few minutes, the lady at the counter came and started talking very rudely, claiming that we hadn't ordered enough food. I didn't have such a bad experience at any restaurant before. The food was below average and did not taste like Indian food at all since the Tandori Masla was too sweet. I would never recommend that place to anyone

My friends and I had the misfortune of having lunch at Raja Rani Plöck. First, they took forever to take our order. Then, the lady working there rudely confronted us, complaining we were using “too many seats” for the food we ordered. Seriously? We ordered three dishes and a mango lassi—since when does a restaurant police how much you order? Their customer service is beyond awful. And to top it off, the food was mediocre at best. The Chicken Tandoori Masala was disgustingly sweet and anything but authentic. On top of that, the portions were pathetically small for the price. Save your money and your sanity—don’t ever bother with this place.

The Raja Rani restaurant is definitely recommended. I ordered the Garlic Naan, the Chicken Rolls and Butter Chicken. In addition, two sauces are included free of charge. The food was very tasty, the portions were more than filling!

Mixture of snack bar and restaurant. Delicious food, little waiting time, nice service.

Very friendly service. Great food. Very good price-performance ratio.

The restaurant is located a little far from the old town and has a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Reasonable and delicious. The freshly baked naan was also delicious. It's also good that the men's and women's toilets have separate entrances.

Not a good place. Rude employees.

We just moved to Heidelberg a few weeks ago and we are trying all the Indian restaurants in Heidelberg. Out of all the places we have tried so far, I would say this is the best value for money till now. Service was nice, food was decent. Overall, for sure deserves a repeat visit.

Great service, great quality and great food

The restaurant was below average. I ordered Fish curry and Rasmalai. The price was okay but the food wasn’t good at all. The curry doesn’t taste Indian. There’s no spice in it. Tasted like they just put the Fishes in the sauce and warmed it up. There are better Indian restaurants in Heidelberg.

The food was very basic. I can’t really recommend this restaurant to anyone if they wanna try Indian food. It tasted like the curry was pre-made and they heated it up. The price is cheap so is the food. Won’t recommend.

We arrived 1.5 hours before closing time and ordered as normal. 5 minutes after the food came, we were asked to please hurry up. Every few minutes we were urged to eat faster. Meanwhile the chairs were put up and the shop around us was mopped. We had to hold on to our beer so that it wouldn't be taken away from us. If you want to close earlier, you have to communicate this with the guests beforehand. Very unpleasant experience!

Considering it says “quick restaurant” at the entrance, the food is of very good quality! Had the lamb vindaloo… it was very good. My wife’s chicken jalfrezi too. There is nothing to complain about in terms of quality!

The food was once again very good 👍 I'm looking forward to the next time

Excellent food! loved the exceptional flavour of Chicken Chilli Special and the Chicken Jalfrezi has a fanatstic depth of flavour. recommend both dishes. The butter naan was ok (nothing special). This is a must go place!!

I would recommend to try the Malai Kofta 👌

Something between snacks. Fast food restaurant and restaurant. The food wasn't great, but it was good. Definitely okay for the price.

The food was unnecessarily very spicy. The biryani had to be mixed with plain rice just to make it edible. Achari chicken, even after mentioning to be made mild, was made severely spicy. From the gravies, only chicken vindaloo was good. Dal makhani was good! The staff was not very friendly. Even after an inquiry about closing time, we were denied service in the acceptable time agreed upon.

Perfect extra food we highly recommend good value for money cheap

Delicious lunch, fresh and tasty dishes. Cold drinks. Authentic music. Delicious lentil curry. For lovers of really spicy food, the chicken chilli special (38) is highly recommended. Upon request we received a plate with a selection of mixed starters. Very friendly, relaxed and helpful staff. We enjoyed!

A super cheap meal that also fills you up. We recommend. I'll be back 😊

The owner behaved very bad, had very bad experience!!! We are Indians and he called every Indians to be the same, he used not so good words. We asked for extra tissue papers, and he was very rude to us . Highly unprofessional. Very bad experience. I would request you to go through all the 1 star review and they are mostly by Indians and with the same issue. I was so disappointed with this behaviour and felt sad. The lady was a bit considerate but the manager was very arrogant and even shouted at us on confronting

Were served immediately in a friendly manner. The mango lassi is very tasty and perfect in this weather and I ate all of my Chicken Tandori Marsala even though I arrived almost full because it was so delicious 😅

Fantastic food. Tastes healthy and fresh and delicious. I appreciate that it is not too spicey. Heaps of vegetarian options. I thought the prices were reasonable.

I got food poisoning from meat. The price is ok for the amount of food you get but the quality of the food is poor

Some dishes are very good other are so so, need more improvement in Biryani.

Very tasty curries, good value for money

I wanted to place an order by phone. "To pick up?" Me: “No, please deliver”. - "Pick up?" - "No, please deliver to your home." And she just hung up. Simply impossible. We then ordered via Lieferando because we always liked the food (it was ok this time too) and didn't feel like looking for something else. It remains to be seen whether we will order here again...

I came here to eat punjabi food and I found it very good everything has a taste of pure indian and they make proper punjabi food.

I had a very bad experience from this restaurant. To start with, the service was really bad. The waiters were rude and arrogant. It is as if we are there for charity. The waiter who took our order wanted us to order everything before hand, he was adamant they we cannot order anything extra during our meal. The other staff was rude as well when inquired if they take card. What I noticed is that this attitude was only towards Indian customers. I am not asking for any special treatment but they should provide adequate service for the price we pay. Food was bland. Same tandoori chicken pieces in both the curries we ordered and both had the same base gravy without any distinctive taste. The menu was basic, just some chicken and lamp dishes. No Beef items was available. Quantity of the food was also very less, which is exactly why I wanted to order something extra during the meal. Overall a very bad experience 👎 Won't recommend this to anyone.

Extremely delicious food at reasonable prices.

Arrogant staff. Very mannerless behaviour

I've never had Indian food so delicious! A secret tip👍...

The food was Delicious. 😋 And Nice Service

I had a highly disappointing experience at this restaurant recently. From the moment we walked in, the staff's attitude was unwelcoming. We were greeted with indifferent looks and it felt like we were an inconvenience rather than valued customers. The service throughout the meal was equally unfriendly. When we had questions about the menu, the server seemed annoyed and impatient, as if answering us was a chore. This rude behavior really dampened our dining experience. As for the food, it did not make up for the poor service. The dishes were bland and lacked any distinctive flavor. The presentation was lackluster, and it was clear that minimal effort had gone into preparing the meals. We left most of the food uneaten because it was simply not enjoyable. To top it off, when we voiced our concerns to the manager, hoping for some resolution or at least an apology, we were met with more rudeness and a dismissive attitude. It was clear that customer satisfaction was not a priority here. Overall, this visit was a complete letdown. The unfriendly staff and subpar food make it hard for me to recommend this place to anyone. Save your time and money and look for a restaurant that values its customers and serves quality food.

Had a very bad experience in this restaurant. The food quantity is very less when compared to the price. And very bad service. They refused to take our order when we wanted to order more saying we cannot keep ordering again and again because this is not how Germans order. This comparison in our Indian restaurants is very disappointing. Also they almost started arguing with us rather than providing us what we wanted to order. Very rude behaviour overall and no hospitality. This restaurant seemed to be operating more for Germans than for Indians which is very disappointing.

Very friendly professional service. The guests are well looked after. Card payment possible. The food wasn't that lavish but sufficient.

Delicious Indian food, value for money, have been there several times, recommended.

A nice Indian restaurant in Heidelberg that offers dine in facility. It seems the restaurant is there since 1999, and so the furniture and ambience gives you that unique feeling of a cozy old Delhi restaurant. Food is nice. We tried Chicken Biryani, Karachi Murgh, Chicken Vindaloo, Lamb Rogan Josh, Mango/Banana/Jeera Lassi. The main course that we ordered were all.nice especially the chicken vindaloo. Lamb Rogan Josh is also recommended with Nan/Butter Nan. Biryani was ok but it's not my type as I am more used to less masala-more flavor type of biriyanis. I liked banana Lassi which gave me a much needed relief from the traditional mango Lassi that we order every time. The cost is also much affordable. For 5 person, we paid 94.5 which is highly reasonable.

Very good meal. Highly recommended. 👍

Wonderful restaurant. As soon as you walk in you will be greeted by a warm ambience. Raja Rani is really nicely decorated and the people are really friendly. I was welcomed warmly and without a long wait. The food is very tasty and beautifully prepared!

Small, familiar, clean and friendly. The portions were a bit small, but recommended

I was there with my family and a friend's family one week back. The quality & the taste of the food is okay but the portion was less compared to price. They served small slices of chicken pakora in a large flat plate which was looking funny. The waiter who was serving us, was very much impatient while we were discussing among ourselves to order the food. May be they are understaffed at that moment. But, I have had a much better experiences of Indian Restaurants in Frankfurt and other part of Germany.

チャイは美味しかったです。タンドリーチキンカレー(9.9ユーロ)は、我々の想像とは違う料理でした。具体的にはスパイスが感じられなくてトマトスープのような印象で、タンドリーチキンも期待したスパイスの風味はなかったです。(ヨーロッパ仕様なのかも知れません)

Tasteless food and staff is also rude. They don't know how to make indian dishes.

Bad value for money. The chicken and paneer dishes have 4 small pieces of chicken and paneer respectively. Lots of rice though.

The chicken curry was very bland. The butter chicken was good. Service was great. Atmosphere is alright. Overall: Nothing special, but not bad either.

Food itself is good - but the amount of Nan that is given to you for €3.5 is really bad, enough for a maximum of a quarter of the meal. In general, the portions are not huge, but they are not hugely expensive either. It's just because of the amount of Nan that I rarely go there, because it's really not only ridiculous but also contemptuous towards the customers. Please change something about that!

Great service, very friendly, speaks English. Quick and precise service. Food was 90%.

Despite a large order, our little one's food was served first upon request. We had to wait a bit, but it was very tasty and the portions were sufficient.

Food was very tasty. Price/performance was completely fine.

Great food, very friendly service 😌👍🏽

Food is good and prices also reasonable, all curry orders come along with rice, place is clean and service also very good

Friendly service and the food comes to the table quickly. The food was very hot. The dishes we had were very German. Little Indian spice. This was ideal for the older people we had with us. Only at the Aloo Parata did some Delhi memories come back. The other dishes were tasty, but not “Indian” in taste.

Unfortunately it doesn't even deserve one star. The dishes have no taste at all and the service is very, very bad. This is the first time I have eaten fancy curry with the taste of tomato sauce and not curry.🤣🤣🤣 The chicken korma tastes like sugar, not like mango😭😭😭 Mango lassi has no taste at all I would never recommend trying it.

Great food, prices are high but not much higher than the Altstadt-average. Super quick and nice service! Would go back

Tucked in a very peaceful part of the city of Heidelberg. The hotel gives a cute vibe of a small Indian restaurant and the staffs were really good. For drinks we ordered the mango and Jeera lassi which turned out to be very refreshing in the scorching heat. We were really hopeful that the food turned out equally good as the drinks, sadly that wasn’t the case. We ordered garlic naan, chicken biriyani, Rotis and Karahi ghost. Everything on the main course except the rotis turned out to be a disappointment. The chicken biriyani had a taste of sauce. The naan couldn’t have gone wrong usually, but even that wasn’t great. So I can hardly recommend this place. Just made me doubt my search for good authentic Indian restaurant in Germany!

Very good, the order usually doesn't take long!

Food was good. We tried 2 dishes in the main course (Paneer Tikka masala and mushroom masala), samosa's and mango lassi. Everything was good. We asked the chef to make dishes a little spicy and they accepted our request and made the dish as per our requirements. The attendants were polite and helpful. I would recommend this place after a great trip in Heidelberg.

It's actually a fast food joint, but with plenty of seating. A bit annoying is the clattering when the dishes are being pre-sorted. Therefore only 3 stars for the ambience.

Sehr lecker. Relativ kleine Portionen. Schnellimbiss Flair.

The quality-price relation is okey. It's not expensive but also some of the dishes that have rice and chicken in them, you basically have 80% rice and not that much meat. I would recommend the Butter chicken, not that much the Biryanu one, as it was a bit dry. The place is near the center but a bit a part so if it's early you can find a spot easily. The staff is nice and the service is fast.

Good was really nice. We had 2 times during our holiday at Heidelberg. Best Indian restaurant in Heidelberg. Must recommend. Thanks to all shef and Mr. Kumar (owner) and Mr. Som (serviceman/waiter).

Bestelle dort seit Jahren Essen zum Abholen. Die Gerichte haben immer die selbe Qualität und das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist super! Das Essen ist meistens in 15-20 fertig. Ich kann das Chilli chicken spezial und natürlich den Mango Lassi nur empfehlen.

Güzel bir ortam. Asya'ya özgü yemekler var. Asya'da yemekler çok acı hazırlanıyor. Ama isteğe bağlı olarak acısız da var. Yemekler güzeldi. Hint mutfağını merak ediyorsanız tavsiye ederim 🤗❤️.

Essen immer super lecker. Service sehr freundlich.

За любителите на индийската кухня, това място е най-доброто. Отлично обслужване и балансирана храна. Задължително трябва да се опита Манго шасито.
