Decor needs sorting as it feels a bit neglected now. The food is always spot on as is the service. Prices have increased a fair bit lately, but as long as the food quality remains, it's fine by me.

Visited last night with my husband, hadn't planned to visit but staying at nearby travel lodge so decided to eat here for dinner. Food was absolutely amazing, I wasn't sure what to have as I am not a regular curry eater, the waiter was really helpful in guiding me with what to eat. Food arrived hot and fresh and very tasty, generous portions (I didn't finish mine), meat tender and Nan was one of the best I have ever tried. I can see from the reviews people have complained about the price but we didn't find it overly expensive, in my opinion you get what you pay for and this was definitely worth paying for. If we were ever in the area again I would certainly re-vist. Wonderful Indian experience.

Food is just average but the prices are ridiculous.. No prices on the menu Thali used to be around £15 he bumped up the price to £25..I actually laughed at the price hike..Not sure how he justifies his prices cos I've tasted better food at a street market... After being a loyal customer for many years I wont be returning. This restaurant is nothing special

I recently dined here, and it was an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly service, which set the tone for a memorable evening. The ambiance is inviting and elegant, with just the right balance of sophistication and comfort. The menu offers a fantastic range of Indian dishes, from traditional favorites to more creative options. Every dish we tried was perfectly cooked and bursting with authentic flavors. The butter chicken was rich and creamy, and the lamb biryani was fragrant and tender. I also appreciated the chef’s willingness to customize the spice levels to our liking. The service throughout the meal was attentive without being intrusive, and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu, making great recommendations. We felt genuinely looked after, and the overall experience was seamless. In terms of value, Le Raaj offers excellent quality for the price, and the portion sizes are generous. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a family meal, or just a great night out with friends, I highly recommend Le Raaj for anyone in the Sedgefield area. I will definitely be returning soon!

This was one of my first experiences with Indian food and I definitely don't regret choosing this place for it. Choice might be a little overwhelming if you're not familiar with all types of food on the menu but you can always ask friendly and helpful staff to tell you a little more about the dish. Curry was beautifully, I really loved it - it was seasoned nicely, spice was also there and it ended up being much more than I have expected. I will be definitely coming back to try different curries, this place made me absolutely adore Indian cuisine. Recommend lots :)

We elected to do a take out, and ordered upon arrival. We were politely greeted and the host took our order then offered us a seat in the lounge whilst they prepared our order, they also offered us a drink. The restaurant was quite busy, food preparation was done in good time enough to allow us to enjoy a pint of Cobra beer. The portion sizes were generous and more than we could eat. The food was flavorful and beautifully prepared. On our next trip to the region we will make a point of dining in to enjoy what appears to be a very well organized restaurant.

This place was once the best Indian food in the area- unfortunately it is now a place I would not visit again. It really needs a Thought clean and that’s not good for a restaurant. You stick to the gruby carpet every step you take. Prices have all gone up significantly and service has gone down significantly. Such a shame! Would be the last place I would go for food.

Visited Tuesday 21st May and what a disappointment. The waiter was unsmiling bordering on the surly. There were no naan breads but we were offered chapattis free of charge. My food was not up to Le Raaj usual standard and only counted three pieces of chicken and the tikka masala sauce was watery. I had to ask the waiter to turn the radio down as it was far too loud and made it difficult for us to have a conversation. There were no chocolate mints at the end of the meal. Most important of all this beautiful restaurant is looking decidedly scruffy and is in need of deep clean. There was no hot water in the toilets and the upholstery and carpet need steam cleaning.

Visited at lunchtime yesterday with my sister and husband. New waiter served us and I'm still waiting for him to smile! Not the usual standard of service that AJ provides. No nans available because the oven hadn't been switched on. The furniture is looking decidedly shabby and is in urgent need of a deep clean. Loud music belting out too meant I couldn't hear the conversation. New waiter brought us the bill and I asked for towels and he said they were on order. No chocolate with bill either and AJ always brings the card reader to table but not the new waiter. Very poor service. It will be a while until we return..

Now where do I start!! We booked originally for 10 people but due to unforeseen circumstances we ended up going as a 5 only, but even after knowing we had a table of 10 and not all of us turning up they never said a word! So we were sat at a round table, drinks taking by a lovely waiter and popadom arrived alongside the drinks. Menu is just wow, totally different compared to other restaurants we have been too, so many options, my go to is a lamb chop curry vindaloo hot. I couldn’t see that on the menu, but it was actually there, I then asked a young lad who works there, he helped me and said I wouldn’t be disappointed and in fact that’s his favourite dish too. Once the starters arrived pipping hot I realised that the food is out of this world, the waiter that had served us has a very happy smile, which made our night even better. The main topped it off for me, I was very impressed overall with the experience we have had. I would 100% recommend anyone wanting top level service and top notch food to try this place out, we’ve even booked already for next week!

We've been several times and perhaps for the past twice the menu has been of great confusion - its the only place where the item cand be 1 of 3 or 4 prices, goodness knows how your supposed to figue that out and know that what comes is what you thought you were getting. Food used to be unlike most Indian restaurants now it's just like most. So, £66 for 2 mains 2, sides, 2 soft drinks perhaps a tad more than I was expecting.

We wanted an Indian Meal for lunch. Hard to find as most don't start serving til after 5pm. Found this wonderful gem! Right off the roundabout for the A689/A177 in Sedgefield. Oh my word! We are so glad none of our usual places serve lunch otherwise we would never have found it. We were met my a wonderful member of staff who greeted us warmly and seated us. Our son is coeliac so, even though he wasn't with us, we asked about the Gluten Free Menu. He was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Giving us such confidence to bring him there on our next visit. The restaurant was warm, bright and so very clean and comfortable. But the food, well, that was the best part! The chicken was soft, succulent and tender, the sauces were vibrant, delicious and flavoursome! We just went for our usuals but they did not disappoint. So, tasty! We went for the lunch menu - £14.95 for two courses, and, as it was lunchtime, the portions were not huge. Just enough and we still left stuffed. The dough butter nan was incredible, and ever so indulgent! The rice was fragrant and perfectly fluffy. But again, the chicken was just utterly magnificent. Great place, pity it's just not immediately next to us! But we will be back!!

No prices on the menu (is this legal?) Popadoms and dips were not like any other I have ever had before just bright coloured sweet slop. The main course could only be described as NEON it was so brightly coloured did not taste bad but the meat was not tender or succulent with only 5 cubes of chicken in my dish. I dread to think how many “E’s” were in the meal definitely not authentic .Poor food at inflated prices certainly disappointing and not to be repeated.

If you’re looking for a place to buy Indians, this is the place you need to go! Let’s talk about their service. without us waiting we were able to get a table. the service was perfect and fast. they sat us down and asked about our day (a thing most places don’t do) . They were polite and caring, making sure our night will be great. we ordered drinks and got popodams. POPODAMS R SO DELICIOUS OFC I HAD TO GET THEM. Anyways back on track we ordered our mains. Let me tell you this. the Flavour was wow! The food was exceeded my expectations, seeing a bunch of reviews my opinion was mixed there were people talking about no flavour. Excuse me this is by far the best indians i have ever had! The food portions and quality WHERE AMAZING. I never was a big fan of cleaning my plate, as i always can never eat as much as i ordered. Well today was different I cleaned my plate aswell as everyone else in my table .Once done a young waiter, around 18 came along to check on us, making sure everything was well. Had to tell him to tell the chef i said thank you. We had a little laugh while talking to him, he was able to make the whole table crack up. Anways back on track we where then offered dessert which i had to refuse as i was full. We decided it get more drinks . in the end we all left happy and amazed wanting to come back again. the price was up there but what can you expect, this restaurant offered high quality food with good portion size aswell as fantastic service making you feel at home and comfortable . overall experience today 10/10

It really was bad another table also noticed and said he was also coughing all over them. Won’t be back drunk staff is a big no no!!

Food has always been amazing here whether it’s takeaway or a sit in meal. Usually frequent this venue once a month a least, staff are always friendly and service is usually good even on a busy Friday night. Can be a bit tricky to get through on the phone line to order a takeaway when they are busy though. I’d highly recommend the Balti here (Balti Garlic Special Chicken Tikka to be precise). Prices have gone up slightly recently but still can’t complain. Would prefer more options for cider/draught. Been here once for lunch with family aswell and was a great atmosphere and discounted food which was fantastic

A really nice meal. Started with poppadoms whilst choosing main course options. King prawn puree starter was good but it seemed a very small portion , sad to say. Main courses were excellent , the lamb dupiaza, tikka masala, and the chicken hariarly was tasty but a little too green in colour. Keema rice was nice and meaty but not over fatty as can be the case. The bill was a little more than expected but sweetened by the till rounding it down a good few pounds. Would I go back? YES.

We were a table of 15 out for a special event and love Indian food. The food itself was ok but the service was far from acceptable. From the onset even the basics of customer care were absent. We were told, ‘Your table is over there’. No smiles from any of the waiters at any time. When the food came out it was chaos with food missed, sides missed and food even put down in front of the wrong person. None of the waiters came and asked if everything ok with the food. Clearing after the mains was horrendous, the young lad clashed all the plates together very aggressively to the point rice fired across the table and almost knocked a drink over, no apology given. Even when paying the bill not one person asked if everything was ok. It wasn’t busy and there were plenty of staff working so I cannot understand why the service was so poor. Maybe they don’t like large tables? If that was the case they should have declined the booking. Whatever the reason for the poor service 15 people left and will not be returning.

Our favourite restaurant, the food is amazing, the menu has changed,it’s not easy to work out the price of meals, but noticed from our bill that there has been an increase, so maybe not going as regular, the quality & quantity is still very good

It was ok, nothing spectacular. My Chicken Shashlik was pretty much just chicken and onions. Would I make a point of coming back.... Unlikely.

VERY disappointing, went for a quick lunch, ordered a hot beef sandwich and cheesy chips, the beef sandwich was dreadful, quite rubbery processed beef slices, very little gravy and greasy chips, wasn't hot. We all had similar and all agreed we would not return, felt it was expensive for what it was, dry bun, processed beef, small drop of gravy ...... almost £10.

Wow, I've lived here for two years so why have I only just discovered this absolute gem! This is the best Indian food we've eaten outside of India....EVER. None of the pasty yellow, greasy raw spices that you get from the usual Westernised Indian restaurants. This was authentic cuisine. Piping hot, marinaded well, tasty delicious food. Service was fantastic too. Indian families dining here is a sure indication that this food is good! We will be back without a doubt.

Lovely little takeaway indian restraunt we use a couple times a month when having a child free evening and don't fancy cooking. The staff are lovely especially the young lad who takes our order he's always friendly welcoming and helpful . Food is really tasty and portion sizes are large we order 1 meal between 2 of us and it's more than enough.very good value for money.
