The Raj Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in England

Despite booking a table over a month ago, two family members travelling over two hours to meet us and enjoy a meal at an old family favourite.

The Raj is now a place I'll not go back to and can't strongly enough suggest to others not to use either.

Why do I feel that way and encourage you not to use The Raj!?

Our booking was cancelled without telling us to make way for a large party instead. Looking at us as if we were a huge inconvenience, telling us to get out as they had no room in the restaurant. Then the vaguest most dismissive apology from them before ignoring questions of how did this happen. An honest apology would have been 100% better than telling us we made a mistake and that we were wrong, before getting their booking confirmations diary out to us. With our booking heavily scribbled out.

For accusing me and my family of lying about having made the booking.

For having family travel a long way on the expectation of enjoying a nice meal be disappointingly taken away from us.

For not having the courtesy to call us and advise the table reservation will need to be amended.

For tainting a lot of good memories we have of The Raj by treating us as nuisance time wasters and making out, initially, that we were the ones that were fabricating having booked a table.

For having two members that are not of good health, one whom made the long distance travel, suffer episodes of anxiety.

After many years of convincing friends and family to use The Raj, you've just lost yourself loyal 4 customers. Actually more, including other immediate family members within the town bringing the number of regular and semi-regular customers you've lost to almost 20. Including potentially all my friends and people through my work place when I advise them to not use The Raj again.

Thank you for some good times over the years but sadly the poor way you treated us has resulted in me and my family to never use your...

Ordered delivery from here, was quite disappointed. I ordered Tandoori King Prawns and was very disappointed with the small size of the prawns for the price, not to mention they were overcooked and chewy. The mushroom rice barely had any mushrooms in and the naan bread was doughy and had very little flavour. The Bringal bhaji was undercooked and bitter too.

These dishes are usually my favourite, and I've had them for very similar prices but much higher quality at other restaurant

The reason they get 2 stars instead of 1 is that the poppadoms were decent, and the selection of dips were good. I liked the mint raita, the lime pickle, and the mango chutney. I really wanted to like this place, but was thoroughly...
