Basmati Rice Deals & Offers

Best rice I've ever cooked with

I found this is way better than Layla.

Why not Laila basmati rice 10kg/£10

Showing unavailable for me :( Location specfic I guess

Yes it was a comeback deal, thanks.

this will probably go down to £8 soon when ramadan starts. i got this offer a month ago and straight afterwards a week later they put it down to £8!!

Just one quick check would have shown you that this is for sale in Sainsburys for £11. Opposite of heat added.

Is this for the Royal Wedding?

I am indeed - Except when they're playing Everton :)

Would it be fair to say that you are a Pilau fan?

New Brighton store had Lime & Coriander, Coconut, and Brown Basmatic (Only 2) varieties left. I took the last 6 firerackers. I've never even tried it before...Had it been the pilau I'd have cleared the shelf, then gone into the storeroom & cleared any in there too. ......I like pilau rice, me (pirate) .

Tilda at this price, can’t go wrong.

Love Tilda pouches. You are right, these are the cheapest ever I have come across !

I’m sorry but being a lady in displeasure lifting is prohibited at my city

£12 in my local Asda this morning! Expensive for me, so I left it. Bargain if found for £8 op

It might store specific !!!!

Which store was this price in!!

Better buying from Asda & save £3 (y)

point to the packaging, also says long grain on there

https://groceries.asda.com/product/rice/salaam-basmati-rice/910000819507 This one is £5 and is 100% basmati

Nice rice, but huge packet (I realise this should be obvious....) I bought it by mistake on an online shop and it's taken months to plough through it!

think a lot of these rice now say long grain basmati rice , presumably this is 70% long grain the other 30% basmati there's nothing wrong with long grain rice , can't complain at 80p per kg

Plastic lol

This is a great rice at a good price. Nice.

Went looking for this and got stuck in an endless loop. 'Got the £5 rice?' I asked, 'Salaam?' 'Wa-Alaikum-Salaam!' he says. 'No', I say, 'the £5 rice - Salaam.' 'Wa-Alaikum-Salaam!' he says. 'Nah mate, the rice. Salaam?' 'Wa-Alaikum-Salaam!' he says. Got away after 10 minutes :)

Best rice for everyday use

The rice version of a doner kebab

What's "fusion rice"?

That's like 7 pots of biryani U can make it in 2 weeks or 20

The size of the bag is tho...

£11 isn't a wholesale price.

Cheers. Will stock up before deal expiry in June.

I think this is the Kohinoor gold looking at the packaging.

Definitely Summer :)

So it was you who cleared the shelf (lol)

Thanks for posting, picked up 2 bags of Laila rice with a long sell by date of 2021 (y)

Depends which one from Kohinoor as they do 3 different types. I think top premium one is platinum Rice. Any thing around £1 per Kg is excellent price for really good Rice.

Laila is much better in taste than Kohinoor. I always buy few months worth of Laila when on offer. Best Rice

Haha I hadn't even noticed that haha (excited)

Don’t understand Tesco. If they have reduced the stock to ‘clear’, what the point in tucking it away in the corner. :D

Cheers, thanks for letting us know.

Bought them all

For cheap basmati rice, you should go by £1 per Kg max. Lidl's own (non-premium) is pretty good as mentioned in another deal, however you have to buy more in weight (10kg) which is easy enough if you have a space for a cupboard.

Not voted but this is hardly a good deal.

I am not cooking for one but tend to buy bags in 1kg amounts as not into stockpiling it. Not sure if you were looking to have a weird passive aggressive dig at people who buy rice in 1kg amounts?!?!?. Your vote is really appreciated.

It's about £1.30/kg at Home Bargains when they have it in stock.

It's OK I suppose & I doubt you can find a 1kg bag much cheaper (gave it heat for the effort) - but you're much better off getting 5kg (or 10kg) when the Basmati offers come up, you can nearly always get it for equiv of £1/ kg so quite a saving. Admittedly not much use if you're cooking for one :)

Had this in my basket for recent delivery - checked out fine, then received a note saying out of stock when the other items were delivered. Great price though!

£10 for 10kg of Basmati rice in Lidl, thats 20% cheaper

But Laila was my life :(

£5.5 in Amazon Fresh.

£11 in asda what the hell with the price of basmati rice :( :( :( (skeptical) is it because of the bouncy plastic rice:/

i think you meant its a chines plastic plastmati rice...yuck

Bought it and I really regret .... not good in my opinion. I'm a basmati lover and this rice just doesn't cook/taste like basmati

Hi my name is M we used Tilda for many years then went into a Nepalese shop and found different varieties to try. I have found this to be as good as the Tilda and Kohinoor.

Other day ordered basmati rice with 30% discount for new customers from Ocado and it works out cheaper with better brand.

You'll see I said that I didn't make it cold!
