Day of The Raj in Barnet

I was a regular at The Day of the Raj for Over 25 Years and I'm sad to see it gone. It has been replaced with another Restaurant now but that does not serve Indian food.

Estar cerca tuve comidas en el Día de las docenas de veces. raj

Use to be one of the best Indian restaurant in mill it's just unfortunate they shut I wish the reopen, not forgetting their takeaway in Broadsfirld's Spice rack everything on the menus is super delicious 🙌🏽

Siendo de Irlanda no hubiera sido el más agudos en la comida india y no sabía mucho sobre los platos. con mi novia inglés me he visitado muchos restaurantes indios. Este era mi favorito por mucho. El servicio es fantástico. Los camareros muy feliz de verte y genial para recomendar su buena comida, ya que tenía un gran conocimiento de todos los platos. Estoy muy triste de este lugar ya no está abierta. Si se abre de nuevo il a comer aquí

Have enjoyed eating here several times, but it has been closed for refurbishment for some months with no date for re-opening

Been eating here since it opened, maybe 30 years. Still offering good value, food, service and a friendly neighbourhood atmosphere

Fuimos por india en Mill Hill.recomendado un amigo. enorme expectativa . Menuda decepción. Llegamos 9,15 muchas mesas vacías. No es bueno! Salir de setas . No hay papel higiénico en los baños. Y nos dieron : lo siento todo el mundo va entre 6-9 así que si quieres comer poco más tarde, el sábado por la noche, no vayas a este restaurante. Los clientes que sólo después de este horario. Así es cómo nos sentimos. Comida ofrecido con limón. El servicio era muy bueno y nos servían muy rápidamente. No volveremos.

Es una tradición anual para venir aquí: y estamos siempre reconocido y te hacen sentir especial. La comida nunca ha sido aparte de muy buena: sutil en vez de bombastic. Esta vez los panes (Puri y naan) eran especialmente luz y sabrosos y la carne (pollo bhuna y cordero kushboo) meltingly licitación. Los lados de vegetales de ocra y berenjena eran una delicia, también: olvidar las historias de horror de okra-éste es el camino debería ser. Y una vez más nos dieron un licor gratuito al final a Seal otra noche inolvidable!

Tuve mi primer curry en la Kohinoor en Cambridge en 1957 , y hemos comido en restaurantes indios regularmente, pero frecuentemente desde entonces, la comida que disfrutamos en el día del Raj era sin duda alguna el mejor . Lamento que no viven lo suficientemente cerca para cenar allí con regularidad, el ambiente, la comida (yo tuve king gambas Puri , seguido por el pescado - un plato del día especial), y el servicio eran excepcionales.

Welcomed by the staff in an pleasant manner the staff showed lots of respect towards me and the food was just first class also another indiAn restaurant that I will recommend 😃

Hadn't been for a long time but won't wait as long next time- food was fab - all 4 of us had different meals and we all loved it- I had a Lamb day of raj special which was sweet and really tasty .

I'm a regular of this fine establishment and it never fails to please. We all know that curry houses today are basically one pot wonders with the same paste polluting every dish! Well not this one - they can turn their hand to almost any dish you require and if they don't get it right at least the journey with the waiters is pleasurable- family run and fuelled with enthusiasm a real treat unless your a miserable so and so and even then I would place a wager on you enjoying the visit.

The Day of the Raj a local restaurant , which i have restrained myself from visiting for years ,it was a great disappointment. Brown was the colour of every dish except for yellow looking chicken dish , The rice was appalling more like rice shavings that had been cooked and left standing for hours , i wish i had taken a picture, really appalling, why ruin lamb by immersing in a brown grunge, the off colour spinach tasted of metal .The Raj has been a local Mill Hill fixture for years , its time for the owners to review ,their offerings , new chef perhaps with a new modern outlook . the manger was very friendly and knowledgeable , but the kitchen , oy vey ,

We visited on a Friday night, although there were around 6 tables of couples the service was poor. We had to call staff on several occasions. This place did not have a drinks menu. Be careful when checking your bill, our bill was also incorrect. There is a tendency for staff to suggest things like sauces without really explaining the additional costs of these, which is unfair to customers.

Always greeted personally by name and they remember what you like to order - family run - food always good as its prepared fresh fresh fresh!! You can ask for anything to be added to the curry and they will always suggest something using the ingredients you like. Won't go anywhere else!.

On a rainy London night, we found a warm and friendly welcome at the Raj. The food was tasty and authentic, the service pleasant and efficient, beer most welcome after an afternoon's walking in the fields nearby. All in all, a very pleasant evening out.

We are regulars here, very old school and does what it says on the tin. Get a great personal service as they know us, which goes a long way. We usually go here on our way to the football as we know we can be in and out very quickly. Food is consistent and pretty good.

We went to an Indian dhol drumming display for the Mill Hill Music Festival at Days of the Raj last night. It was a really fun evening. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very lively. The staff were obviously rushed off their feet trying to cope with a packed restaurant, 8 very loud drummers and a belly dancer, but their charm and good humour never failed. We will definitely be back again.

I recently had a delivery from this restaurant. The food was bland and flavourless and all the dishes all tasted the same.I sent an email to the manager, which has been ignored. Very poor food and no customer service!

Nice food and friendly staff, premises are clean and tidy. I think you will enjoy your food and have a good time.

My wife and I visited with our 2 young daughters. We were welcomed by the very friendly staff who were pleased to see us and keen for us to enjoy their cuisine.The food was great and we loved they way they helped us order. They took the time to ensure the food was at the right heat.I'd definitely go again and think its one of the best Indian meals I have had!

At least for me and my guest the overall quality is good and you're not ripped off like in the city centre. An easy and comfortable restaurant. Good service also. Awarded some years ago. If you like indian and you're around may worth a try.

Have eaten at the DoR for many many years. Great service and the food is always well prepared, served hot. The good proof of a good Indian dinner is when you wake in the morning and your mouth doesn't feel like it is still eating last night's dinner. Namiste

We have been coming here for 25 years and it never disappoints. The 'patron' is friendly and the food is always superb. They go for flavour rather than aggressive heat, but will add more fire on request.

I am quite fussy when it comes to Indian food but Day of the Raj have been amazing. From the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave, you feel like part of the family (Even if they aren't so keen on Tottenham Fans!) Every single dish you order has a unique and beautiful flavour, and guaranteed you will not be leaving this place feeling hungry. I can't rate this place enough. A must if you are in the area and fancy a curry!

I had a chicken korma, boiled rice and a plain naan - mmmhhhhh mmmmmhhhh mmmhhhhhh was all I said to my friend sitting opposite me and the service wow even took my tea back to fill up with more hot water as the waiter kindly said 'as I anticipated u to have milk' how sweet I may not even need sugar ;) think this is my new regular although not local!

We called in as a family group of six (including one vegan) on the way out of London on a Sunday evening just before Christmas. Complete off chance - we had been hoping to eat somewhere else but had not been able to get in, I was driving up the main road saying "look out for an Indian" (knowing that's normally good to find something vegan friendly) and saw this place just off the main drag (and on broadway). Threw my wife out the car to see if they could seat us, then parked just round the corner in front of the fire station (much to my daughter's delight!). Got the call- yes they could get us in, so in we went.Now I'd have to say they were having some issues that evening - service was slow, but friendly, although being sat quite close to the kitchen you could hear there were some frayed tempers backstage. The slow service actually wasn't a problem for us, what was important was good advice from the waiters who clearly knew their menu, and food quality. Both were excellent. Nice spices (and reasonably authentic - vegan daughter has travelled in India), possibly slightly less "hot" than I would normally have expected from descriptions, although this may be serving a local palate.We enjoyed ourselves, and would happily return.

Its ok but the menu is over elaborate with loads of made up dishes..its also pricey for suburbs for what after all is standard 3 pot curry cooking. Atmosphere is a bit pretentious.

food is excellent , service excellent , staff very helpful and atentive the resterant has plenty of seating , and has a geniuen indian atmosphere ,,,

People always say your night is made of who you spend it with rather than where you are. This statement is correct but the setting for the night can be just as important. The Day of the Raj is a lovely place to have a quiet dinner with your partner or laugh filled night out with the girls. The staff are friendly and always available with suggestions and a smile. The serving staff always ask how hot we would like each curry and each time the curry flavours come out just right. There have been occasions where we have requested food which is not on the menu and it has been served with a smile. There is plenty on the menu to choose from and flavours to suit everybody's tastes. The size of the dishes are enough for one person if not slightly too much. I always leave this restaurant happily filled and with a smile and there fore I would recommend this restaurant any day of the week.

By far one of the best restaurants in the area. The staff are first class. The food is first class for the price. I can't recomend this restaurant enough, if you are unsure where to go one night then go here and be certain that you will have a great experience.

A warm welcome as you enter to one and all - great for party's food decent unless your in there on a Saturday when they are busy and occasional slips - however all issues accommodated with reverence by the charming owner - have to go far to beet this one up west -

We live in Mill Hill and always go to this curry house as it's by far the best one. The food is always good and you can actually tell the difference between each curry. Their tandoori chicken is also very good. The staff are also always friendly.

Excellent food. Check out the Lobster sizzler. Relaxed and friendly. Drinks reasonable. Free bottle of house wine on a Friday.

I grew up local to this place, and ate here regularly. I now live in California and I have yet to find an indian restaurant that is as good as this one. The staff are great, especially Romel, anytime I or someone I'm with is unsure of what they want to eat, he will recommend something or even have them make up something from scratch to meet whatever your heart so desires. I love the food, the atmosphere, and the people. Great place, highly recommend.

Food is lovely and always prepared to how I like. Portions are great and very filling. Staff are brillant and very attentive. Love coming here.

Day of the raj used to be one of my fave Indian restaurants but sadly it's just no longer what it used to be. Dishes are fairly bland, many are far too sweet - I think flavoured to accommodate western taste but leaves you missing spice and flavour. Great service but food just doesn't live up to the past....

Having traveled the world & been to many restaurants in many countries, I can honestly say that this is one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to! Which is why we always go back! The food is absolutely amazing in there, the place is spotless & immaculately clean all the time (even the toilets) & the staff are wonderful & always friendly. Especially the owner Romel (what a star) he's a perfectionist in all he does & ensures that from the moment you walk in, until the moment you leave, you're happy, satisfied & always leave with a full belly & a smile on your face. He has even gone out of his way on a few occasions when I couldn't find something on the menu I fancied (because I'm a super fussy eater) & he personally went out the back & made a dish especially for me!! Who even does that ?? Only place I know - Day of the Raj!! Wish tripadvisor had a 10 star rating because I would have given it - top class food! Top Restaurant!

Love the variety of food, the great taste and of course The legendary Romel who makes every dining experience comfortable, enjoyable and memorable. I eat here regularly (both in restaurant and take away) and always enjoy my dinner! I highly recommend Day of the Raj to all Indian food lovers. The food is tasty! :)

Day of the raj x a definite must try if you are in the area x food was delicious, service excellent,friendly and prompt with out being over bearing xxWill def go there again if in area xxx

I've eaten here regularly and have always had an excellent meal. I was here on Saturday evening with a large party all of whom were impressed with the 1st rate service, great atmosphere and wonderful food. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the friendly and helpful staff who will cook a dish especially for you if you don't see anything you like on their vast menu.I don't think you will find better Indian food than at The Day of the Raj; always a great evening out and great value for money.

Had a quaint evening in a buzzing restaurant on a Saturday night expecting excellent Indian food and left disappointed.Having lived in Luton for a while we may be a bit spoiled with authentic Indian good, but would have expected more from a restaurant with such a good reputation.Not only did both our curries (Bhuna & Jalfrezi) taste very similar, neither had even a 'kick' to it and tasted extremely bland.When mentioning this to the waiter, we were provided with hot sauce on the side, which certainly gave the kick, but didn't help the flavour.More over the sundries were tasteless and the naan looked/tasted like garlic bread from an Italian takw away.Nonetheless, the service was excellent with friendly and attentive waiters making us feel welcome in a busy restaurant.Good choice if you fancy an Indian, but don't like spicy food.

Another superb evening at one of the best Indian restaurants in London. Top service from all the staff. Every time I go there I am never disappointed.

Car parking on street, parking meters finish 6.30pm. Long established family run restaurant now on upswing due to quality of staff and ambiance. Friendly greeting with a smile is always a good start and helpful suggestions and thorough knowledge of the food is the norm here. They will also adjust the ingredients to suit you , if say, you don't like chillies they will have your dish cooked without them. The beige décor is not intrusive and no music means dinner can be a relaxing experience. We found a little too much oil in our aubergine dish but otherwise have no complaint about the food which is good and better than most locally. The menu is extensive and most curries are available in vegetarian form. Prices are very reasonable and you get value for money. If you live in North West London the Day of the Raj should be on your list.

Without doubt the best curry house in the world! The service is brilliant, the food is amazing and the general experience is second to none.The 'Day Of The Raj' whatsapp group salutes you - keep up the good work and we will be back soon!!Elliot

We have been visiting the Day of the Raj for over 20 years, birthdays, anniversaries and mothers day, fathers day, valentines Day and special treats in-between. We are greeted with a warm smile, we are never rushed, the food is hot, well presented and well cooked. If we do not know what we fancy they offer suggestions and come up trumps! Perfect for a family celebration, a romantic evening or quick meal.

Not eaten inside this restaurant before but have ordered takeaway about 5 times this year, the food is one of the best curries I have eaten and always tastes very fresh, popadoms/naan bread are lovely too. Would defiantly recommend this curry house/restaurant.

I have tried many curry restaurants in search of the one I will call my local, and I have now found it!! The service is flawless, as soon as I walked in I felt welcomed and was served with charm! The food was in order of an award, and that is why I'm writing this review! I had the chicken tikka masala! The chicken melted in my mouth and the flavours went on and on! I have told all my family and friends about the day of the raj restaurant and I am now pleased to tell you!! Two thumbs up from me!! Well done to the manager Romel!! Thank you again!!!

I'm not normally a fan of Indian cuisine, I see it (saw it) as a very popular dish in the 70's through to the 90's where it was considered an exotic alternative to the classic English dishes we grew bored of at home, or a place where an intoxicated gentleman would soak up a night on the tiles, gorging away to soften the inevitable hangover that lurks around the corner. However in today's health conscious world, eating at such restaurants would either be a rare treat, or a meal that would take at least a week on a diet to justify! From past experiences i've always felt very lothargic and heavy after an Indian. As a young-ish man who doesn't go to the gym yet can still squeeze into those 32" levis, I solely rely on the food I consume to maintain my figure and not venture down that jacamo road. The day of the raj blew all my preconceptions of Indian food being unhealthy right out of the water! There are healthy options, the grilled tandoori food was seasoned perfectly and every bite was one to be savoured. The lamb was beautifully tender and just fell apart in my mouth, the chicken was succulent and tasted divine, this really was a dining experience I've never had at an Indian restaurant. The owner, Romel was one of the most charismatic people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, a complete gentleman who would accommodate any request asked and would serve to order. Would be worth the money just for the service alone. A family run business with over 25 years behind them, they do justice to fine Bengali dining. I'll be back there very soon!

Award winning food,great staff friendly welcoming atmosphere,modern decor.great selection of food and an accommodating chef if you want anything special, cannot praise highly enough.

Friendly staff, good food, reasonable prices. A very good option for dining in NW London.Wide range of dishes including vegetarian

This review is about the Takeaway branch in Mill Hill East and Not the restaurant in Mill Hill Broadway. We have been using the delivery service for some time and tha food has always been of a good standard. Last night we ordered as usual but the food was impossibile to eat. The curries tasted mainly of salt, were swimming in oil and ended up in the trash. I phoned to tell them and they explained they had a new chef! I shall not be ordering again untill either this one has learnt to tast food before sending it out or been replaced. My advice is for readers to do the same. Once more this does not apply to the restaurant which we have been using since it opened.

We have been going here and getting takeaways from here for years. It is a high quality local restaurant with friendly staff who remember their clientele. Food is always fresh, well presented and reliably good.

This was once the jewel of Indian resturants in north London the father ill retired and the son has taken the Raines amazing lighting same decor the food is still good Bengal in origin but other establishments have stepped up and offer reginal Indian dishes the raj s menu has not changed in 25 years too many of the dishes have too much cream but he lobster prawn is to die for

What a fantastic restaurant in North London. Lovely interior and the food is to die for! Staff are faultless and the menu is great. It is a real experience with how the present the food and how it is kept hot on the table, I won't ruin the surprise.Better than any curry house and very good value for money.This will become a new regular of mine as I only discovered this recently.RO

stale popadoms, dry bland food. Best avoided.Friendly staff but the end of the day the food isn't up to much. Sorry

Forget all the cliches about suburban curry houses. This is a gem of a restuarant that is head and shoulders above any other local Indian restaurant I have encountered. The restaurant has been in the hands of one family for over 25 years and have built their reputation on treating each customer as a friend and serving absolutely delicious food. If you are stuck on thewhat toi order, Romel, the Manager, or any of the Staff are only too pleased to make a recommendation suited to your palate. Food can be adjusted to any strength you want. I have eaten so many times here over the years, and have introduced many friends to this established, and no-one has come away disappointed. I particularly like Indian vegetarian cuisine and the range and quality of what can be offered stands in comparison with the best of restaurants specialising in this type of cooking.. If you're a wine drinker, I highly recommend their house red. It's very good value and pretty smooth. On my wife's recommendation, the sizzling king prawn dish is truly excellent. I would say do not miss their dall soup. It is just something else. For a two course meal, you can expect to pay in the region of around £20-25 per person. I cannot recommend this excellent restaurant high enough; go and enjoy!!
