The Raj

"I have been using The Raj with a group of friends for over 15 years and sadly standards have slowly declined to the point that we question whether to go there or not. Last Friday I ordered a King Prawn Pasanda which arrived looking like a bowl of custard, which I questioned, but was assured it was pasanda "because they could see the rose water". The prawns were not cooked properly and the sauce tasted disgusting. After much ado and being told that it was a Korma (which I can assure anyone that it wasn't), they bought another dish to the table which tasted a little more like pasanda, but not a lot. When we got the bill, it was full price despite being assured by the "Manager" that I would not be charged for my dish. I questioned this and was told "you have had your meal so pay", so when I asked for the manager, the Gentleman told me he was the manager and the older man had gone home - how convenient that the managers change to suit. Frankly, I found the staff rude and couldn't care less about the customer and they were prepared to fob me off with a "dish" that they knew was not right. Unfortunately I do not know what was in the first "dish" but I was up several times in the night with sickness and diarrhoea. The whole experience spoiled an otherwise lovely evening out with friends and subsequently wiped out my weekend. We will not be returning, but judging by their attitude, I doubt they are particularly bothered."

"Walked in on chancing getting a table and they fit us in. Amazing food and wine and friendly staff. Love the ambience with low lighting which was nicer than the normal bright lights in places. Returned again for a Valentine's meal and had the set meal for two which was gorgeous. Looks like this will be a regular for us now."

"We regularly get food delivered from here but chose to go there this week. As usual, the food was very good. They were flexible to change the set meal to allow for a vegetarian option. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We were glad we went, we had a great time."

"Miah was fantastically attentive. The food was delicious. Can not believe we have not tried The Raj before. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening, thank you and see you again!"

"First time we have eaten here. Really good food and service. Best Indian meal I've had in a long time. Will definately be back."
