This is the kind of neighborhood Indian-Pakistani spot that earns its loyalty the old-fashioned way: generous portions, fair prices, and a welcome that starts the moment you sit down — literally, with three small sauces arriving before you've even taken your coat off. With over 1,000 Google reviews and a #2 ranking on Tripadvisor among Vitry-sur-Seine's 52 restaurants, Rajpoot is clearly doing something right for the locals.
The biryani and cheese naans arrive fast, portions are huge, and three welcome sauces hit the table before you've even sat down.
Go for lunch or early evening — they're open 7/7 but service can get backed up during weekend dinner rush.
Generous Indian-Pakistani comfort food that earns its local following
Rajpoot is the kind of place you keep in your back pocket for a Tuesday night when you want serious Indian-Pakistani food without the fuss. The moment you sit down, they bring three small sauces to the table — a gesture that sets the tone: generous, welcoming, no-nonsense. The biryani is the star here, regularly praised by reviewers for being flavorful and copious, and the cheese naans are the kind you keep ordering even when you're already full.
What makes Rajpoot stand out in the Vitry-sur-Seine dining scene is its consistency and value. Open seven days a week (11h–14h30 and 18h–23h), it serves both lunch and dinner, and the portions are genuinely hearty — you won't leave hungry. The TheFork rating of 9.7/10 and the #2 Tripadvisor ranking out of 52 restaurants in town tell you this isn't just another generic curry house. It's a local institution.
They also do takeaway with 10% off and free delivery from €15 across a wide zone — Vitry, Ivry, Choisy-le-Roi, Thiais, Villejuif, and beyond. If you live nearby, this is your new regular. If you don't, it's worth the detour for the biryani alone. Just don't expect white tablecloths or a trendy interior — this is honest, filling, well-spiced food at prices that make sense.
