I don't usually review places but thought i'd leave one as I tried a takeaway from this place despite the rating being particularly low on google (risky in my books!) but glad I did, as the food was insanely good value for money. Much cheaper than any other curry houses in the area, and very speedy and tasty food. Even some extra free food given to us too! 20% off collection is great. thank you

Have been to the Raj a number of times before over a few years and enjoyed the atmosphere and food very much thus the return visit with friends for a treat Indian meal. We were surprised that on a Thursday night it was almost empty. It quickly became obvious that they were very short staffed, both in the kitchen and at table. We were made welcome but had to wait to order anything at all. We waited an hour and a half for our mains. The starters were the best part of the meal. Sadly our mains were luke warm and not the special food the menu, and our previous experience had led us to expect. We were sad that we didn't get the good food and service of previous visits and hope they can fix whatever is not working

Asked the bloke for a napkin and he said no. Eventually he found something. The food came and it was OK but the samosas were just like the frozen ones I've bought from the Eastern supermarket. The dishes had some OK moments, but I won't be going back. The atmos was murked by the noisey phone ring tone that rang and was like really loud . No one else was in the place. Come on guys please make it a bit better,your chef has skills but the vibes are done.

We hadnt been here for a good few years but used to be regulars when we lived on Alma Vale Road. We walked in last night to get a take away, orrdering a Chicken Bom and a King Prawn Jalfry with Garlic and Mushroom rices, two plain and two spicy popadoms. The service was good and the food arrived quickly and was hot. Both curry dishes were a bit bland with little depth to the flavours and were far to oily to be enjoyable. The spiced podadoms werent cooked but the rices, whilst a little oily were fine with a good balance of teh respective garlic and mushroom. We are glad that we didnt dine in, the decor is tired and teh table settings uninspiring. Overall just an average experience for us. Because of the blandness and consistency of teh main dishes we didnt find that the Bristol Raj offered good value for money

We visited the Bristol Raj for a Mother’s Day meal with the Memsaab and heiress to the family fortune. It had been a long while since we had visited and I’m delighted to report that we had a great evening. The food was great: delicious, well spiced and nicely presented. The service was quick without being rushed and indeed we were asked whether we would like a break between courses. This was much appreciated. As well as various starters we had a chicken dhal masala, prawn dhansak and chicken korma with rices and naan. All were tasty and the naan was excellent. Well done Bristol Raj on turning out some lovely food this evening

We booked for 15 people, turned up and they’d given our table to another group - fair enough, everyone makes mistakes… but when we arrived they tried to lie about what happened and were generally rude, if they’d apologised and been courteous they’d have three stars, but sadly not. We had to leave and order pizzas at home.

Delivery through Uber Eats. The large order was not received. The restaurant was not interested and stated that they would not help with my complaint as the order had been picked up by the delivery driver. I do not know if this was the case, as it never reached me. So I cannot comment on the quality of the food. As we did not get to try it. Now have to spend time trying to get a refund. Maybe they should rethink using UberEats as a delivery company and should own a customer complaint and not pass the buck. I felt the restaurant was dismissive and rude when I called them.

I'm really not a fussy eater, but given that the order came to a total of £31, we expected the food to atleast seem fresh (even if not), hot, returant standard quality & packaged semi-neatly.... we wont be buying from here again, here's why: - Tandoori selection did not look half as fresh as the image on the app & the texure was dry as if it was over cooked or reheated. Also, a good handcul of onions covering the top, to the point we had to remove the onions to know what it was. - chips were soaked in oil and cold. - salad came in a small white plastic bag with the handles tied (a small version of the kind of carrier bags you'd collect food in from a takeaway); and only included one single, quarter slice of tomato, 1 slice of cucumber, quarter lemon and plenty of grated iceberg lettuce....... - the curry sauce tasted watered down and could clearly see a layer of oil - too much oil, again! - Chicken Biryani rice texture was like value supermarket rice... I assume it was probably reheated, and perhaps why the texture seemed so cheap and spoiled.

The Bristol Raj has now re-opened. This was our first visit after the easing of lockdown but we have been many times before. Firstly, they have deep cleaned and have removed the table cloths so they can wipe down between customers. They wear face masks when serving you and have a visitor book running as required by the policy. The restaurant was sadly empty and needs your support. The food. Sorry to hear previous poster had a bad experience. Honestly, apart from Nutmeg in Clifton, which is significantly more expensive, we find Bristol Raj to be the most consistent and flavoursome. You just need to find your favourites and then you're in curry heaven! We had the Raj Murgh. Yes, it didn't quite meet the description and was sweet, but was full of large pieces of marinated chicken beast and had a tamarind based sauce with fenugreek finish. It has mango chutney in to thicken, not MSG, and tasted lovely. It was mild, not the 2 chilli rating, but they can easily fix that. The best for me is the King Prawn Chilli Chingra Murg (I think it's called that). Large succulent prawns, beautiful sauce laden with finger chilli, it's like a chilli minefield! My fave yet. Drinks. They have Kingisher on tap and also have bottles of other drinks. They are also fine with you bringing your own! In summary, we think the Bristol Raj is far better than others locally. It's a very basic venue but the prices reflect that. You'll get very good quality food and a warm welcome.

First time we have used this restaurant, dreadful takeaway, ordered two of the "chefs specials": 1. Raj Murgh described as "Chicken breast cooked with onion, garlic, pepper, tomatoes, tamarind sauce, mango chutney, green chilli & coriander Fairly Hot" in reality: exceptionally sweet, blandly flavoured dish that was more like a low quality Chinese dish in taste and consistency - very heavy on the MSG. 2. Mango Chicken described as "Tikka pieces of chicken cooked with sweet mango chunks in a creamy fruity sauce" in reality: 7 pieces of chicken swimming in a nearly flavourless orange cream. In conclusion, Don't waste your money, there are plenty of better options in the area.

Excelente manera de terminar un día explorando el arte callejero de Bristol, jugando al juego "adivina qué tan alto es el puente", bebiendo grandes cantidades de sidra y paseando por las hermosas lomas. Llegamos tarde, pero los amigos del Bristol Raj nos recibieron con los brazos abiertos. Es BYOB, así que trajimos algunas botellas de vino para asegurar una intoxicación completa para cuando nos fuéramos. Probablemente sobrepasamos nuestra bienvenida, pero nunca nos apuraron, se despidieron con una sonrisa feliz y un apretón de manos medio / firme (amistoso). La comida es deliciosa y no es cara.

Curry nights should be pleasurable, our experience here was far from that. It was my friend's birthday so he called in advance to book a table. Upon arrival to the establishment, we were greeted by an incredibly rude man called Deli, who informed us that our booking was not on his records. He aggressively told us that it was us who had made a mistake with the booking. Even after showing him proof of the call he continued to be unapologetic and irrate. We then talked with a manager who reassured us a table would be available in half an hour. 30 mins later we were greeted again by Deli who offered us more abuse. We then decided not to stay. Ruined my friend's birthday. Do not go here.

This is the first time I’ve ever posted a negative review and I hate doing so. We were regulars as this is our local curry house and used to be amazing under the eye of Mr Raj. However it is now under different management. The service is frankly dreadful. We’ve tried several times in the hope we’d just been unlucky. The manager is overbearing and has a bad attitude. They’re now charging corkage which is fine, but we ended up getting our own glasses because nobody bothered to go and get them ... despite there only being one other couple in the restaurant. On another occasion the manager got into an argument with my wife because she had dared to grab a knife from an empty table, ours being one short. “I told you I’d get you one!” he announced. Well that was ten minutes previously. We are now walking up the hill to the Urban Koori Noor. We’d much rather stick with Bristol Raj because (a) we like supporting local places; (b) it’s closer; (c) it’s cheaper. However we are not going to go somewhere that makes us feel uncomfortable.

Fuimos a Bristol Raj como un grupo de 20. Habíamos reservado previamente Cuando llegamos allí, éramos el único grupo grande con 3 o 4 grupos pequeños también. Terminamos esperando 1 hora y 50 minutos para nuestra comida y no hubo cumplidos ni descuentos ofrecidos por esta espera ridículamente larga. Cuando preguntamos por qué aún no teníamos nuestra comida, simplemente nos dijeron que servían con "prioridad", lo que parece ridículo cuando incorporábamos tantos clientes como todos los demás grupos del restaurante en ese momento. Cuando finalmente llegó nuestra comida, nos sirvieron 1 pan naan corto, lo que no habría sido un problema, excepto cuando les dijimos que se negaban a creer en nosotros y esto terminó en una discusión entre uno de mis amigos y el gerente del restaurante. ¿Qué pasó con el cliente siempre teniendo la razón?

I’ve reviewed this small restaurant before but felt the need to write again after our latest visit. It offers the best value in Bristol bar none. My wife and I had poppadoms and a pickle tray, lamb sagwala, aloo gobi, brinjal bhaji, a peshwari naan and a tandoori roti for less than £20-just amazing. Yes it’s BYO and the decor isn’t amazing (don’t eat downstairs...) but the cooking is really excellent. We’ve eaten at all the posh curry houses-Nutmeg, Urban Tandoor, the Mint Room etc etc-and the experience is excellent but the food at this place for the price paid is simply outstanding. Visit it.

I went to this restaurant to use my groupon voucher I received as x mas gift. The voucher had a cash value of £37.40. The groupon said hand over before ordering food, so we did ! When we did the waitress told us we shouldn't be using this on a weekend cause they want the tables for cash paying customers ! And said we should have said over the phone. No where on this voucher does it say that. Just that you should produce before ordering. I found it very rude to do this to us in a restaurant full of customers. She was acting like we was getting a freebee, when my partners aunts paid nearly £40 cash for this ! We was told we could stay this once ! Well I'll tell you, we won't be returning ! Disgusting way to treat PAYING customers. Don't be on groupon if you don't like customers using it !

The standard of cooking and/or ingredients is very low; wife's chicken korma has tasted like tinned chicken soup and their tikka masala is way off. There's often weird shouting from by the bins out the back toward closing time which is odd.

Visited restaurant on sat 4th Nov I felt I was very rushed and hoovered over I ordered popadoms and I had only ate one when my starter arrived being a small table the waiter tried to take the remaining popadoms and pickles away which I was paying for... when I finished my starter the fork had just hit the plate and was taken away not even a have you finished I was still chewing... so we could have a conversation with our meal we delayed in ordering our main... when mains were served it came quick also I had put the food onto my plate but left some sauce in the bowl as I like to put my bread around it within seconds it was taken away again not asking if I had finished :( the lamb was chewy the chicken was dry popadoms not crunching also we had to pay £17 for wine which is only £4 in the super market the toilets and decor is in need of refreshing and the waiters need to just let u talk and eat and not make you feel rushed ... also may I add while I was eating this plug in air freshener kept going off in the end I asked for them to take it out as that was the taste left in my mouth ... I won't be going back sorry

I have dined at the venue many times and order take away on a regular basis. The food has always been of high quality, fresh ingredients and finely cooked. The portions are generous and the staff are very courteous and kind. On several occasions they have given discounts or have added extra side dishes, dips and salad on top of my order. I highly recommend the Bristol Raj to anyone wanting to try Indian food in Bristol.

This is our local curry house and it really is excellent. It's BYO and popular with local students but offers excellent value for really good food. Hidden gem.

If you want to taste real taste of Indian specially Bangladeshi food then this should me be on top of your list !! Their reception is awesome and the hospitality is mervelous . They have more than 100 items of food so you get variety of choices . And another thing is you don't need to pay much comparing other restaurants !! On top of everything you will get 20% on takeaway and 10% on sitting in if you got student or NHS card ! There's also private function room available if you want to have a private fuctinon with your friends,family and love ones without disturbance . This was my experience and I'm sure you will find the same !! Cheers

Went to the Bristol Raj for a meal with another couple for my birthday. Although the food was lovely and competitively priced, we all spent the whole meal feeling like the staff were trying to get rid of us. They even brought the bill before we asked for it. Something which I think is bad restaurant etiquette. Think I'll stick to my local from now on ....

We'd left it a bit last minute to book the Bristol Raj (busy week and spontaneity got the better of us) but they were luckily able to fit us in and I'm so glad they did! The service was efficient despite the evidently busy parties they were serving, and the food was incredible. I had the Korma, he had the tikka masala and we each had a pilau rice and shared a peshwari naan - one of the fluffiest ones I've ever eaten! We will definitely by returning

Highly recommend. Can't fault this place. Great food. Great service. Great value. BYO restaurant. Tucked away in a little side street of Bristol. Our visit was for my son's 21st birthday. We have been here before too and will definitely be back again.

We did not realise how popular the Raj was so were turned away on our first attempt as the restaurant was fully occupied, which made us even more determined to experience this restaurant, so we made a booking ahead of time for the following night. We were certainly not disappointed - all the dishes were very well prepared, fresh ingredients, subtle flavours, diverse and authentic. The ambience was lively and yet intimate and the service was most attentive and friendly. Glad we persevered, as good Indian restaurants are hard to find in Holland, where we live.

Absolutely awful takeaway. Delivery estimated 45mins - 1h max. Food arrived at 1hr 40 mins. Missing part of the order and the curry we did receive was like dishwater. Phoned for refund for items missing which was declined and I was told the reason was that 'it was a Saturday' and they are busy with only one driver - however this does not excuse the missing items, substandard food and poor customer service. We will never use this 'restaurant' again.

This was by far the best curry I’ve had in ages, the prawns were lovely and fresh and tasted to perfection and the naan was freshly made the day before. I would recommend highly.

Our normal go to Indian takeaway, not any more. Tonight's offering was terrible, I'm reluctant to use the word 'disgusting' but hugely undercooked Onion Bhajis which were inedible. Raw naan bread, rice massively overcooked (and clumped) mains swimming in oil. Awful, truly awful....such a shame from our normal takeaway. Won't take the chance again.
