Stayed at wetherspoons in ripon 5 minutes walk away . The food was delicious. Full of flavour. Not greasy as some can be. The staff where brilliant. Lovely family business. A credit to Indian cuisine.You can take in your own wine or beer to drink with your meal. There is a Tesco's just up the road.
Absolutely loved my experience at MOTI RAJ! The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a delicious meal. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we felt welcomed. The food was exceptional—each dish bursting with authentic flavors, especially the buttery chicken tikka and fragrant biryani. The spices were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was beautiful. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I highly recommend to anyone craving flavorful Indian cuisine. I’ll definitely be returning soon!
A few friends and I went out to ripon for a chance encounter kind of a night out and ended up coming in for some food. We had asked if they had mango lassi on the menu and they said they didn't but went out of their way to make enough for the whole table. Suffice to say the staff made sure that we had a good meal and the food definitely backed the service up. 10/10 a brilliant meal will be coming back for sure
Wow ! a take away second to none ❤️ Haven’t had food from here for a long time. Got 2 meal delivered to our caravan park. The starters and main dishes were excellent as good as I have had. Period !! Very well done Motti and a big thank you 🥰
Walked past here while stopping in Ripon. Looked very clean and well presented from the outside. It was just as nice inside also. The waiters were lovely. Very friendly and Chatty. The food was excellent! Very very tasty. We really enjoyed. But we didnt know that they only serve soft drinks. But you can bring your own alcohol. Which other people did. It should have been busier because of the great food. But its location, although easy to get to on foot, isnt the best. But if you are in Ripon, please seek these guys out. Its worth a visit.
