Shahi Raj — Restaurant in Test Valley

I have been using this establishment for over 40 years and have always had good food. Tonight our takeaway was shocking. The paratha bread tasted as though it had been fried in cheap cooking oil, the naan bread was so stale that it was impossible to tear it. I had 3 vegetable curries, Okra, potatoe and cauliflower and potatoe and spinach. The okra and the spinach tasted as though they had been stored in plastic for a long time. The potato and cauliflower had no flavour. My husband had a king prawn balti that was fine, as was the pilau rice. It’s very disappointing and I wonder if the Shahi Raj are doing what a lot of restaurants do and outsourcing the cooking of takeaways because this was light years away from their...

we have recently moved back to Andover and decided to give Shah Raj a go. Disappointed to say the least. 40mins to get poppadoms, then 45 mind to get starter which for mine was bland. waited a further 30mims and main still didn't arrive. my wife way getting tired and quite fed up so I said just go home and I will ask for take out for main. and a further10 min. And got home opened up and have just four pieces of chicken and a bunch of onions and sauce. yes we were discounted 10%, And his excuse staff refused to travel down from London due to covid. Really! never again awful dining experience...

The place itself is very easy to find and well signposted. Once you enter you are warmly greeted by the friendly staff on site.

Although the place is “bring your own beer”, the staff are happy to keep your drinks behind the bar and serve you your own beverages, making it a great place to entertain guests.

The food itself was great quality and served quite rapidly. All of the 7 persons at the table were able to start their main course at the same time, which is always a bonus!

Will return if I am ever...
