Thetford Raj Restaurant — Restaurant in Breckland District

Was impressed with this Indian restaurant. Stopped over on a drive back from Norwich to Cambridge. The overall atmosphere was clean with a nice authentic feel. The servers were very attentive and kind. Between a friend and I we ordered a Chicken Tikka Vindaloo (server said it would be very spicy but I found it hot but tolerable (I like spice)) a Chicken Tikka Masala (seemed different/more cocunutty in flavor than what I am used to but still a good taste), Pilao rice and garlic Naan.

My daughter said it looked like I was eating a dish of blood and I am fascinated to know what was used to make it look chemically red! That said, the dish was brimming with king prawns which did taste very nice. My last observation is about how full the restaurant was when I picked up my takeaway. I did not witness much social distancing and I suspect someone has been a little reluctant to reduce the number of customers in the premises.
