Last Days Of The Raj in Gateshead

Can’t believe how much I paid for this, dry over cooked naan bread and dry chicken. Stay clear, only ordered from here as spice connection was shut, never again! My family also ordered curries as well as naan breads, there was about 4 bits of chicken in each curry and the naan breads were also not up to standard.

Enjoyed Thursday set meal. Excellent quality and service. Will definitely order again very soon

Fantastic as always, arrived hot and fresh.

No salt bland taste rip off got 2 biriyanis really not good

Absolutely stunning! The food was piping hot when it arrived and tasted unreal! Even the delivery driver was incredibly friendly. Can’t fault this place at all. 10/10.

Ordered food at 5.10pm and didn't arrive till 7pm. The curry had leaked everywhere poppadoms were stale and the massive potato in the curry was not cooked through. Everything went in the bin. The driver was so late then called me to ask where to go because he clearly didn't read the road signs and door number at this point I could of cooked for myself.

I didn’t receive my order. I called the restaurant twice as my order was already late. Then spoke to the delivery guy, who was lost. I had to be elsewhere by the time the order would be delivered,way past the delivery slot. So no food for me, but they took the money. 🤨

Best Indian in Gateshead...enough said !!!

Tasteless with gnarly chicken pieces

Absolutely beautiful except the paneer was hard. Everything else was delicious

Beautiful food just what we needed great service

The best Indians in Gateshead! Don’t go anywhere else!

Was cold by the time it arrived if it was hot it would have definitely tasted better

food was fab..set meal for 2 ...chips gorgeous and lamb was melt in mouth .. .well done nice anniversary meal.

Absolutely beautiful meal, fresh, hot and delivered early which was a bonus. Thank You

they were running late but the food was definitely worth the wait. nice and hot and really tasty will definitely be ordering again.

Take away took 2 hours to arrive and order wasn't complete. Chicken was over cooked and dry. Up several times during the night for the loo

lovely tasty food with a friendly service.

Totally appalling..! Make me wonder if all the reviews are made up or by some poor person who is actually unaware what Indian food tastes like..! Filled with food colour and the curry is abysmal.. felt like some mashed up stuff ..

Fantastic food, really tasty and ready earlier than expected. Thank you!

I’ve just eaten food heaven. From first bite too last the food was exceptional.

This isn’t ‘the last days of the Raj’, it would be your last day. I’m sorry, but this isn’t indian food. It was just food colored curry that is not edible. The naan tasted like a spongy cardboard. I wish i was exaggerating, but it was so bad we ordered from another restaurant after taking a bite. I wouldn’t recommend if you have ever tasted Indian food.

Arrived hot, order correct. Delivery driver pleasant. 3 empty plates, would definitely recommend.

Awesome food. Loved everything we ordered.

Love this takeaway! Have ordered from here multiple times over the phone and the service has always been great, very friendly and ordering for collection has been prompt. No mistakes in the orders and great tasting food!

Tasty and generous portions! Absolutely delicious! Totally recommend 😊 ❤️

I had a call from them this morning , pretending to be 02 offering me a cheaper deal, silly sods didnt privatise there number. And i recorded the call so your getting reported you dirty scammers , highly recommend everyone avoid these rip off merchants

good food enjoyed it and would order again

Abysmal food. £12 for 6 pieces of tough gristly meat and 2 ladles of soup. Zero authenticity. Zero flavour. Below zero quality. The 2 curry’s were inebible. Biriyani was below average. £10 for 4 cold, stale poppadoms and 4 small pots of thin, tasteless gruel being passed off as pickles is disgraceful. When did “mango chutney” become a bright red thin soup? Total bill was £52!!!! If this was a sit down meal I would have refused to pay the bill and I am going to request a full refund through the a

Excellent food. The whole family enjoyed it.

Always delicious food and good customer service from this great takeaway. Give these guys a try you'll not regret it. You Can tell they care about what they make the proof is in the taste and flavours of their food. :-)

Mixed kebab was a onion bargi and a Keegan sausage normally tandoori chicken and lamb and cold poppadoms cold and stale Keegan nan cold and Keegan tasted fishy bombay aloo so hard couldn't bite into it

Delivered and all eaten up. Lovely food, fast delivery and great customer service. Who could possibly ask for more. If you are new to this long established takeaway then you've just got to give them a try. Delicious!

More lovely food and speedy delivery from Last Days of the Raj. Give em a try you'll be glad you did. Mmmmmmmmm.

Best madras curry I've had in ages. Fast delivery and great food. You've just gotta give this takeaway a try. I am not on a commission, honestly I'm not. Just a great takeaway.

Delicious. One of the nicest curries I’ve ever tasted. Fantastic quality AAA++++

Takeaway starter, two main courses and poppadoms. As good as any restaurant.

Delivered sooner than expected so I was able to get stuck into this gorgeous meal sooner than I thought. A lovely starter and main course of Chicken pathia and veg rice hit the spot. If you love Indian food then you've just gotta give these guys a try.

Ordered the prawn vindaloo and it was the best I've had from a takeaway... absolutely lovely food 👍

My first meal in a while from this well established takeaway. Everything was great lovely tasting food and fast delivery for a Saturday evening. Thanks for a great tasting meal and fantastic customer service.Give them try you'll be glad you did.

Over priced and gone down hill.

Food was delivered hot and great quality.

My first and last experience I’m afraid .Neither me or my husband ate it .It all arrived freezing cold & an hour late . The korma was so sweet it was inedible & the pathia was exactly the same (who eats a sweet pathia) Absolutely dreadful food ,you should be ashamed of yourselves for charging £30 for that

Excellent quality and taste. Will definitely order again

Food arrived on time but the main course consisted of a large container of sauce with only six small pieces of chicken and the naan bread was damp as it was sweating in the paper packaging. The rice and bajis were OK. Will not order from Last Days of the Raj again

I absolutely love this place! I’ve been coming here for about five years and my partner has been coming here since he was a child and we just can’t get enough. It’s always our favourite treat

Food was stunning. By far the best Indian food I've had from any restaurant. Not one part of my order was a let down. Definitely recommend this place. Outstanding!! And also, the girl who delivered my food was beautiful. So that's an added bonus.

Fantastic food ever I had just loved it

Incredible food as always . 10/10 all round .

Took 3 hours from ordering to delivery, despite it only being 1.5 miles door to door, and the food was cold. Knew there was a 75 - 90 minute delivery time when ordering but actually took 3 hours. Tried ringing the shop on the number provided on Just Eat, no answer. Did answer when we found a number in the local directory. Not a great experience and as such, would not recommend.

Would definitely order from here again. Delicious food

Extremely late, food was cold and parts of the order were missing. It’s a shame because had the food been warm it would have been lovely.

Not the best food came fast though

As always on time hot food excellent quality cant fault it

This is one of the most friendliest places with the most tasty food I’ve ever had. The lamb korma is amazing, creamy, fresh ! Just yes! We always get it with the garlic nan. Love this place so much, don’t understand any bad reviews as this place is so perfect.

Ordered prawn vindaloo, got beef instead. This was for myself, a vegetarian so it couldn’t be eaten. Ordered a traditional murgh makhani (butter chicken) and a cheap and nasty chicken korma arrived instead! Absolutely appalled that any takeaway would even attempt to pass a chicken korma off as a traditional, authentic butter chicken! Disgraceful!!! REFUND REQUESTED THROUGH JUSTEAT. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE!

Late and cold. Average quality food despite premium price.

Nan bread and onion Bhaji was dry and over cooked -

Haven’t received my order, yet it has been listed as delivered. Been ordering from this establishment for over 20 years, have never had any issue’s before. Even at busy periods they would normally contact us to let us know there would be a delay, nothing heard this evening. From what I understand the father, who was a wonderful man that could never do enough for his customers has retired. If this is true and the service he had instilled has dropped to the levels we have currently experienced then our extended families custom to this previously wonderful location will soon end.

Food was amazing as always. One dish more spicy than normal but still delicious. Even told about a privilege card at collection!

Very comprehensive menu. Was served by the owner who was friendly and very knowledgeable. Excellent food and good prices. The best in the area.

App said I had my food but I didn't waited another 30 mins poppadoms soft no garlic on man bread

Gave us the wrong order and tried to still charge me for the full ammount and the food we did get was terrible chicken shocking qaulity meat and currys bland, first time using wont be back

Food was exceptional as always. Delicious and our 'go to' restaurant.

Can't remember the last time I had a takeaway from here so I thought I would give it another go. Can order online which was an ok site to use. Thought about using Deliveroo but decided to do a collection instead due to not being able to specify meat on some dishes. The chicken Balti naan wrap was decent. As was the tikka chicken rogan and garlic naan. A decent price with the online discount but I would happily pay a bit more for better quality meat. And I wish they had lamb instead of mutton. Again, happy to pay for lamb. A low price isn't everything. Will likely use again if I want quick, quite tasty and chicken based.

Missing popadoms we paid for, which is a let down. Aside from that, food smells amazing and looking forward to tucking in.

Despite the wait for delivery the food was delicious and varied.

Once again, lovely food, fast service and gracious delivery driver.

Delicious food , and great service by the restaurant

Got a chicken makhani & chicken madras both dishes were delicious and great customer service would highly recommend

Restaurant was busy and I got a message to say the order would be late but it was still delivered within the stated time and with a happy smile. Asusual, food was delicious.

This place is amazing! The food is full of flavour, fresh and delicious!!!!! We will definitely become regulars. I totally recommend the mutton korma and garlic naan~ 😋

Great curries, feel like it's the only place I've found that does hot curries instead of mild nonsense. Chicken shatkora and Naga both 👌

Tasty food , definitely recommend it

Amazing food. Highly recommend

Perfect food once again. Great take away as always

first order from here my rundown of order mixed kebab very poor onion bhaji burnt and dry, half tandoori chicken poor for £7.95p very poor value, beef phal good, veg bhaji good, lemon rice good, tandoori keema rice good, all in all not very good value better Indians out there i would not recommend this Indian MARKS OUT OF 10 I CAN ONLY GIVE 4😒🤦‍♀️

Great quality food, highly recommend! The only Indians to go to in Gateshead!

Quality was good, but some dishes tooo spicy for me

Great! Always freshly prepared, always tasty. Recommended 👍

Outstanding. Arrived quickly still piping hot, nothing missing. Each dish full of flavour, the meats cooked beautifully and the ingredients fresh and crisp. Haven’t eaten here in years but after that performance it’s now the new favourite with this household.

Food arrived with box opened, food spilled all in the bottom of the bag. Phoned to complain was very abrupt on phone no apologies after a lot of arguing offered to send a new meal. 1 hour later still no meal phoned again. Then hung up is & didn’t answer again.

Ordered takeout when arrived cartons had burst open & spilled all in the bottom of the bag. Phoned to complain was very abrupt & would not admit it was there fault. Took photo to proof. Waste of money went straight in the bin.

I moved back to gateshead in december and have been on the hunt for a decent Indians, having tried at least 5 and being disappointed I'd almost given up until I walked past this one. I promptly ordered that same weekend using there online website which is extremely easy to navigate and you can pre-order. The food arrived hot and full of flavour, the quality of the chicken is excellent and there was loads of it in the curry which was spiced to perfection. I pre-order the following weekend trying different dishes and was just as impressed. I have now found my new Indian takeaway!

Ordered chicken tikka masala - the sauce was nice but very thin & not a lot of chicken, both keema pilau & keema nan were bland no spice at all - very disappointed as this place used to be top notch a few years ago- wondering if it’s changed hands

Ordered through uber eats,food was due to arrive 7.00pm, recieved 9.00pm after numerous calls, most ignored! Food freezing, curry slightly okay but rice soggy, popadoms like i have never seen before(see photo), the worst ever,so soft, deffo avoid, wouldn't try again!!!

First and last time ordering ! Cold when arrived poppadoms missing , small portions hardly any chicken, nan bread tiny and not the cheapest for a takeaway !

Food good but could tidy from end up a bit.

We are regular customers and always choose Last Days of the Raj when we get an Indian takeaway. We have always had perfect customer service and our food is always perfect and extremely tasty. Personally I would not listen to the other comments rating this lovely takeaway business “poor”. Lovely lovely food as always!

Not enough meat with the food to expensive for what it is won’t use again the food was average nan was cold I get better curry’s for a cheaper price the delivery was quick that’s about it

Enjoyable meal. Very tasty. Onion bhajis lovely. Tandoori chicken plentiful. One minor point...not a fan of the sauce for onion bhaji /tandoori.
