The Raj Spice — Restaurant in Sandwell

Food was palatable, not outstanding in any way but also not bad - all food was served piping hot and had good portion sizes but just with a standard curry taste (the restaurant advertised it had a 2019 top chef award)

We were a group of +12 and not one person had a complaint about the food, the problem more was the attitude of the staff . I was absolutely appalled at the lack of customer service , I thought I’d entered this new fad of ‘Karen’s diner’ the 3 staff members were so awful . Every interaction was instigated by our party and every request seemed to much (and by request I mean basic - ordering a drink , ordering poppadoms, asking for the bill, just standard expectations for a restaurant as a paying customer!) There was a slight consideration for the restaurants guests as when out of toilet tissue instead of replacing with a fresh roll , a bulk of napkins were provided instead, placed on a dirty windowsill . The napkins no doubt would block the toilet eventually but I guess they were out of tissue and Sainsbury (next door) was to much to ask , so this was a quick fix - I just won’t even comment on the sink and hand washing situation but I just hope that the staff rest rooms were at a far better level . I have to convince myself that they were , for my own peace of mind and sanity after eating there.

Long , short . Take aways : knock yourself out , the food is very reasonably priced and I’d say decent soaker up after a night of drinking . If you are looking for a friendly , clean , tasty and accommodating restaurant - this is not the...

DO NOT EAT HERE. Absolutely disgusting place. After having a nice evening out with my partner and family, we ordered our food, my partner ordering a chicken biryani where there was zero chicken and nothing but potato with no sauce so you can only imagine how dry it was, we were rudely spoken to by the manager where he told us "if you don't like it don't eat it", we then offered to.pay £5 for the biryani instead of £7.50 due to there being no chicken in it and all potato but that still wasnt good enough for this very unprofessional manager, and then when my partners brother in law stated that he found a hair in his food and asked if they could make more the staff caused complete chaos, where tables were thrown, my partners brother in law was injured, my partners sister was injured and myself also injured, the altercation was then taken outside where the MANAGER and his STAFF shouted many vile words and told his STAFF to get knives to which the police then turned up. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the saying go "The customer is always right?" Would you ear your food if you were to find a hair in it? The place needs shutting...

Normally go here as always been a decent Indian but I went and collected a take away on Saturday and I have to say very very disappointed both starters were missing the side salad and the fish biran it has to be the worse thing i have ever eaten from a Indian or any take away for the matter, i opened the tub and tipped out around about a tablespoon of oil then eat a piece of fish and it was like mush looked inside was not even cooked was translucent and really soggy and mushy it made me gag, onions and peppers were pre boiled to a point you could munch them up I actually nearly threw up! Then my main I had a lamb dansak flavour of the curry was ok nothing exciting but the lamb looked and tasted like beef was like stewing beef very weird! not sure I will ever go back now it’s a shame as I really did like the place but to be served that really shows some issues...
