Was visiting Louth with my brother last weekend, we both love Indian food so a curry was definitely on the agenda- we chose the Raj Mohal based on it's Google reviews , and it's all a bit confusing really, as our experience couldn't have been more different than the majority of these reviews - it was positively the worst Indian meal we can both remember, served to us by totally indifferent staff. I had the Chicken Jalfrezi with rice and onion bhajis - the meat was regular shaped peices (that hasdobviously previously been on a skewer) just dumped into a generic masala sauuce, and some uncooked chillis were thrown into the sauce Onion bhajis were large, but soggy and the greasiest I have ever experienced, and I've been eating Indian food at least once a week for more than 30 years. The staff, although plentiful, we're not available when we wanted them but removed the remains of our poppadoms without asking before we had finished,, wouldn't make eye contact and weren't interested in our concerns, hence this review I can only assume that all these positive reviews here are from people who go ave absolutely no idea what good Indian food tastes like, or they are fake Probably needless to say, but we'll not be coming here again on our next visit to...

Slightly sweet shredded coconut! It went well with the lime pickle, mango chutney, onion salad and, of course, popadoms. Everything confirmed by the very pleasant and helpful staff as totally gluten free. Ok it felt a bit dated inside and what's with the sticky plastic covers on the bench seats😳😒🤔? Not really what you want to sit on, on one of the hottest days of the year so far 🥵🔥. But we had a great meal none the less and it was very...
Read moreThe Raj Mohal is excellent, I've been going there for years, the staff are nothing but polite and friendly, you'll get what you give though, if you make the effort they'll talk with you, if you just want to be left alone they'll do that too.
The food is better still, I've tried many Indian restaurants and I still think this is the best one I've ever tried, it's not the modern fusion-type style but the classics done to an amazing standard.
I can't recommend this enough, the value is great as is the food and service, the decor is nothing special, but a lovely...
