The Raj — Restaurant in England

The food hygiene rating is literally ONE out of FIVE. The owner Anhar is always sniffed up, seen him with cash laid out at the bar for gambling which is unprofessional, he’s a dodgy character and puts on an act to get customers in. Don’t be fooled by the ‘awards’ they receive. The food that customers eat is stored outside in a damp wooden shed which is very unhygienic - sacks of onions piled up on top of each other, garlic squished at the bottom of a pallet and greasy pans left on tables outside which all probably attracts rats. Go and have a look, it’s easy to see from the field side at the back of the restaurant and has been noted by the Food Standards Agency. The Raj are now paying for a higher rating when the agency next arrive in Feb but the current rating reflects the true state of the place. More food such as eggs are stored next to the staff toilet. Inside the toilet, there’s no toilet paper so god knows how they clean themselves and their hands before preparing food, they leave the toilet door open too. So if you’ve ever gotten food poisoning it wouldn’t surprise me why. A disabled customer would not be even able to access the disabled toilet because of the amount of junk being stored in there plus it’s unclean. Because of how the owner abuses his position and speaks to adults who work for him and no doubt his staff, like dirt, this place honestly...

If i could put a zero for service I would! Avoid this place like the plague. As a former regular takeaway customer sometimes using twice a week our family has finally had it with this place for months on end they would constantly get the orders wrong or miss items out. Then they put a competition on facebook to predict the England score which i did on the day of the game at 13.59pm England kicked off at 2000pm and won 2-1 against Holland i claimed my free curry and got 10 pound off my 35 pound takaway order. The next day i get a phone call off anhar the little bald angry mouthy fella who owns the place the one who usually bullies his staff in front of people sat down having a meal anyway he went on to tell me i cheated and he will bad mouth me all over social media even though i proved to him via screen shots that i hadnt and he kept goin on with himself i even said is this how you speak to all your regular customers then he replied you never come into the restauraunt even though he knows full well that i do i got fed up with him in the end and put my wife on the phone who he carried on whinging to her so she hung up on him. Anyway we have used the raj for large family meals and takeaways in the past and spent a lot of money over the years but not anymore after his little outburst we will no longer be spending a penny in that...
