Rajni

Rajni is the Indian restaurant on Derby Road in Borrowash, the larger of the village Indian operations and the only one set up as a full dine-in room rather than a collection counter. It is run as a destination kitchen rather than a takeaway, with table service, a contemporary fit-out, and a menu that pushes beyond the standard balti-house list into Bangladeshi specialities.

The board carries traditional Indian dishes alongside modern presentation, with the room's decor used as part of the experience — the Tripadvisor pictures emphasise the dining-room atmosphere as much as the food. The kitchen trades both for dine-in and for takeaway, with collection and short-range delivery into Borrowash, Ockbrook and Spondon as part of the operation. Customer feedback on Tripadvisor, Just Eat and Restaurantji is consistently favourable, with regulars singling out the chef's house dishes and the standard of service. The shop holds a published food-hygiene record with Erewash Borough Council. Trading is evenings only, with a long single shift from half-past five through to eleven, seven days a week — the rhythm of a restaurant rather than a takeaway. Rajni sits at the top of the Borrowash Indian scene as the village restaurant against the Victoria Avenue takeaways.
