The English Raj, Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in England

Booked a table for 5 people on Saturday night for 8:30pm, arrived about 20 minutes past 8 only to be told that the table wasn't ready and to come back in half an hour. Went to the pub for a drink and returned at 9pm, table still not available and we were generally ignored by the staff despite asking several times when our table would be ready. Finally about 9:15 we were told that a table would be available in a few minutes but we then noticed looking around the restaurant, that there were a quite a few tables waiting for their food. I asked the four people at the nearest table to where we were standing, how long they had been waiting for food and they said that their starter had been served over an hour ago and that they were still waiting for their main course. We decided that as there was going to be such a long wait for the food, we would leave and find somewhere else to eat. We were all extremely annoyed that even after making a definite booking that we were unable to eat at the Raj, I don't know if there was a staffing problem on Saturday night, but if you can't supply the service for pre-booked customers, then don't take the booking. I have used the English Raj on many occasions but due to this experience I shall think twice before visiting again.. P...

First time trying this place and what a treat!! Was a last minute decision to try here at 9pm on Friday night with some friends. We were welcomed in and seated comfortably straight away, was fairly busy there. We ordered drinks which were fine. We ordered popadoms to start and for mains we ordered a Korma, a chicken Balti, a lamb Pathia and a lamb Savwala. We all ordered naan’s/Chipattis and rice. Everyone loved their meals and we all tried each others. Mine was the sagwala, safe to say it was the best I’ve had so I’ve officially found my new Indian restaurant and take away. All of the Staff were all so lovely, we had a nice chat with a couple of members. Over all we rate it 10/10 it was a lovely evening. And very good...

December 2020 Wanted to help my favourite local restaurant. Cause of the lock down sadly English Raj is servicing only takeways, hopeful for a short time. On Tuesday to Sunday 5:30pm to 9pm.

If it's the first time trying the taste of curry, try a satisfying Meat Korhi Raj. The taste and flavour is amazing. I also loved the taste Balti king Prawn with fresh ginger, garlic, green peppers and specially selected spices giving the real taste...
