Le Raj Restaurant in Reigate and Banstead

My husband and I came here for a date night and it didn't disappoint. The food was delicious and staff were so helpful and friendly. Definitely the best Indian I have been too.

Absolutely amazing place, my partner has been here twice in one week, offered a popodom and coke while he waited, his name is Paul and he is coming back for a takeaway again tonight. Not greasy, tasty, chicken is great, onion B the best I’ve ever had, staff friendly, clean, we hadn’t been here for years, but now a returning ongoing customer. Thank you so much. Well deserved 5 star. Best around.

Food is horrible This is not indian food Poor quantity, only a couple of pieces in each curry Currys taste all the same Biriyani full of rose water only, no taste otherwise Asked to speak with the manager after but did not get to speak with them Though very nice ambience

Food very tasty. Even service is excellent.

We had an amazing meal and enjoyed every dish. The staff was very accommodating regarding my onion allergy. The atmosphere was lovely, and I will definitely return!

Repeatedly very poor customer service. I emailed twice and had no reply about a Christmas Day booking for a large party. Tried to book in September but was told no menu was released. After my ignored emails I called and booked a table which I was told was reserved. I called by chance to amend a separate booking and was told my Christmas booking was cancelled as they had no room. I questioned why the booking was taken and was told it was taken as an ‘enquiry’ (nonsense) and that they had tried to call - again untrue. They claimed they had the wrong number- despite me being on the mailing list and getting texts and also had two emails so no excuse. Poor service throughout. I have moved my booking Amani who were cheaper and more professional. We have been faithful to Le Raj for 22 years not will no return after messing up our Christmas plans

Epsom & Banstead residents!! we are blessed to have such a special restaurant on our door step, no need to travel into London where you will not find any better food I assure you. I have worked in the hospitality industry for over 38 years, which includes running 6 Michelin star restaurants. I feel so lucky to live with in walking distance of Le Raj. The ‘Bengali’ cuisine is outstanding, their Chef is seriously talented and so consistent weather you dine in or have a take away. Jeff, the owner and front man, is a true professional, recognizing by name all his regular clients and their favorite dishes. We have frequented this restaurant for many a family celebration and will continue to do so as long as Jeff and his amazing team are there.

Huge thanks to Jeffrey for taking such good care of us! The food was amazing and we'd definitely recommend it to anyone.

Booked a home delivery and it arrived on time and the food was nice and hot, they had to deliver from Epsom to Carshalton at around 6.45pm so a busy time of evening. Food from Le Raj is so very tasty and so fresh, tried many other curry restaurants and I AM fussy, but no other restaurant comes near it. I'm a small eater too but went back for more it's just really tasty (had chicken curry with pumpkin). We've been using the Le Raj for years and if you eat in which is so lovely or get a home delivery the food and their standards are just 1st class. Trudy & Jeff

One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve visited in London. My first hanging naan experience. The chicken dhansak (not what it was called in the menu) was outstanding. The poppadams were amazing too!

Got a takeaway from here last Friday and I’m sorry to say it was one of the worst Indian takeaways we had as a family. Not sure what went wrong. 4 pieces of meat in a large box of thin watery sauce. Saag paneer tasted like a dessert item. I even called them to make sure the chef hadn’t muddled up the salt and sugar it was that sweet. I was instead told this dish is in fact a sweet tasting - like I’ve not had this dish elsewhere before! This place was once the best place to eat in this area. We’ve had takeaway and dine in many times but unfortunately nothing like before. Hopefully our experience was a one off bad chef day.

More of a formal Indian restaurant with nice old world charm, very friendly attentive staff, clean and pleasant. My partner enjoyed her cocktail in particular which was quite well done certainly for a restaurant setting. Nice crispy fresh poppadoms and good quality chutneys, raita and pickles. Skipped starters as decided to have multiple sides for main course. Partner vegetarian so she went for a vegetable based curry, medium which she enjoyed, along with an aloo kobi(cauliflower and potatoes) a spiced pumpkin dish(Lau Bhajee) and an okra dish (Bhindi Bhajee), for myself I went with a Beef Vindaloo which used a Naga chilli. The beef was slow cooked although not quite so tender as I had expected and the heat level was far more towards a medium but enjoyable and well balanced. The coconut rice was a bit wet, water still at the bottom of the bowls served in and tasted fine but packed any punch of coconut. The naans were nice, slight crisp outer with fluffy inside, drizzled with ghee, I went with the coconut version which again tasty although drizzled with honey and made for a very sticky affair b with no finger bowl provided (when asked though the team went above and beyond to provide a large bowl with small lemon pieces and warm water, however am surprised this wasn't a standard affair as am sure others must hit the same issue). After dinner they do provide a nice warm mini towel which was a nice touch. Prices towards the higher side(but not extortionate) which was expected, the quality and service justified. Nice theatrical presentation of an after dinner chocolate and Turkish delight a bowl surrounded with a little dry ice which the server pours hot water over to give a lovely smokey visual spectacle Portions were of a decent size, a reasonable and sensible size. We did end up taking a little of my partners curry and a small amount of sides home and were full. Unfortunately resulting in us not trying any dessert which there was a reasonable selection for an Indian restaurant and a good selection of after dinner alcoholic drinks, coffees and teas. One dessert option that particularly intrigued was 'a can't decide' option whereby for a price that was lower than the other options the team would choose for you, no doubt a selection that they had higher amounts of or short shelf life left but a clever god value option that for sure we'll try next time. Adorned to the walls at the entrance are various photos of celebrities that have enjoyed the restaurant, a bit of fun to browse at the end of a lovely evening. Discretionary service added to the bill at 10% which was reasonable so was happy to round the bill up to closer to 15% after an enjoyable service and evening.

Incredible food every time. If you want the freshest, authentic, and genuine Indian cuisine, this is the place to go. There's never a disappointing meal, and the service is consistently outstanding.

Been going here for my whole life [since a child] never fails to hit the right spot. Much love to Jeff and the team for all the great years of memorable meals.

Amazing meal. Food was top notch, fantastic service and the decor is really great. Highly recommend this place. Not many great restaurants around Surrey, but this is the best it gets!!

Absolutely love it! ♥️💪 We’ve had the pleasure of dining at Le Raj Restaurant numerous times since our first visit in September. Now that we’re back, we feel so fortunate to enjoy their delicious Gujarati food as takeout at home! We couldn’t recommend it more highly!

I had a great time visiting Le Raj Restaurant and enjoying my meal again. The food was excellent, and there were many dishes to choose from. I recommend trying the "house special chicken tikka curry" prepared in Punjabi style.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Le Raaj and I can't stop raving about the Achari Gosht! The lamb was perfectly tender, melting in my mouth with every bite.If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on trying the Achari Gosht. It's a must-have that will leave you craving more!

Great food and 5 star hospitality. I recommend anyone expecting the highest standards of culinary cuisine to come and visit Le Raj.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Le Raj, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance made us feel right at home. The décor is a perfect blend of traditional Indian elegance with a modern twist, creating a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. The menu at Le Raj is a true celebration of Indian cuisine. Each dish is a masterpiece, bursting with authentic flavors and carefully crafted with the finest ingredients. We started with the Paneer Tikka, which was incredibly tender and marinated to perfection. The spices were balanced beautifully, providing a delightful kick without overpowering the palate. For the main course, we tried the Butter Chicken and Lamb Rogan Josh. Both dishes were exceptional, with the meats cooked to perfection, melting in the mouth. The Butter Chicken was creamy and rich, with just the right amount of sweetness, while the Lamb Rogan Josh was robust and aromatic, a true testament to the chef's skill. The service at Le Raj is impeccable. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. They were more than happy to make recommendations and ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Jeffrey was definitely helpful in making sure the service and food quality is at the highest. Le Raj is not just a restaurant; it's a culinary journey through India. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or new to it, Le Raj will leave you with a lasting impression. It's a place where tradition meets innovation, and every meal is a celebration of flavors. Highly recommended!

I absolutely adore this place! The staff are highly professional, the service is outstanding, and the food is incredible and always perfect.

I really enjoy the food at this restaurant; it has a lovely atmosphere, and the waitstaff are quite friendly. I prefer not to go anywhere else to avoid any disappointment. I've been a regular and even order takeout from here, with the delivery service being excellent as well.

We had our first meal here tonight, and I want to give a huge thank you to the staff, chefs, and owner. It was a wonderful evening with amazing food and a great atmosphere. We left feeling completely happy and full. We'll be recommending this place to all our family and friends. Thank you to everyone who was there tonight!

Dining at Le Raj Restaurant with family was such a delightful experience! We enjoyed a variety of starters, thali, and masala dosa. The staff was very friendly, and the layout was spacious and well-organized. I highly recommend Le Raj Restaurant to everyone seeking delicious vegetarian fare.

The food at Le Raj Restaurant is truly unique! It's definitely worth trying at least once, and if you do, you'll be blown away by the flavors!

I had an outstanding experience Every menu choice guarantees a taste of authenticity that leaves a lasting impression.

Food was amazing, Murg tika and Murg kurma was delicious. It's not surprising that numerous celebrities have dined here. The service was excellent, and we will certainly return.

Organised a work dinner here. Beautiful decoration and food was delicious. Service was really good. I spoke with Jeffery to make the booking and he perdonally made sure that our party was well catered for and looked after. Would definitely recommend

Had an exquisite dining experience here, where every ingredient was so delicious.

Came here last weekend for a family dinner. Everything was amazing, great service, great food. We’ll be back!

Got a takeaway on a Saturday night. Naan bread and popadoms were nice but the curry’s lacked any flavour and it was as if they were ran out of base sauce so diluted what they had with water as the sauce was very thin and flavour just wasn’t there. This place is a shadow of what it once was, we used to be regular visitors when the dad owned the restaurant, a good number of years ago the son took over and it really has gone down hill. I dine in or get a takeaway every year or so maybe, in the hope it’s got better and the food standard is restored to what it was but I’m afraid to say it hasn’t and after this takeaway will probably be the last time. Interior and service is always spot on, but I visit for the food.

Have eaten here many times as always enjoy food. However we decided to order selection of starters rather than main course and was told by waiter we had to order a main. Since when and why!!! We refused and eventually but reluctantly he said it would be OK. If this happens again I would not go back. Bill was still over £70

First visit with wife and friends and was very impressed. The actual restaurant inside is very impressive and the service was excellent. The food was so so good with a great variation, prices a little bit more expensive than normal but worth it, maybe a special occasion venue. Will be going back very soon.

Amazing traditional and unique Indian restaurant. Nothing compares to it. Been coming for 20 years +

Excellent service & food, best in the area. I’d recommend if you haven’t already to try Le Raj, tiger biriyani was delicious

The starters I have tried here are good. I think the star item is the cinnamon smoked chicken. Everything about this item is good, the presentation, the taste, the after taste... Service: Good, every one in the serving staff are well mannered and eager to help. Atmosphere is good but I personally don't prefer if there is not enough light; the music is a bit boring for me

Best dinner with my family tonight friendly staff very attentive and welcoming service. Well looked after by Noman. See you Again soon Thank you.

Best Indian food I’ve ever had Full House Saturday night very Nice atmosphere and warm welcoming Staff. service was absolutely fantastic and amazing food specially sweets at the end 🥰 will be back soon

We waited bang on ONE HOUR for our food on saturday night. Staff were nice and the decor is nice but one hour for food ? We told multiple staff this but no one seemed to do anything about it, even had the cheek to add gratuity to our bill. Multiple people asked how everything was and we said well we waited so long for our food so not great yet nothing was done, why ask if youre not going to do anything about it ? Would not come back, food is extremely bland aswell. Only good thing was the sweets at the end…

Imagine you’re with your young family enjoying epsom for the day and it’s dinner time and fancy a curry. Le Raj had decent reviews so we opted for that and it was empty. Alas, we weren’t allowed in as I and my son was wearing shorts. I am 40 odd but he was 3 at the time. Pathetic.

High end prices but food is good and menu a bit different - not the usual "weekend curry house "

Good evening, I’ve been eating at La Rage since he’s been opened and was a good friend of Owner and still our friends of his children ordered a meal tonight as I returned from France always look forward to the lovely food was very disappointed by the late service delivery and was very disappointed with the foodhad a lamb which was very dry and had a lamb which was very dry the oval quality. I am very upset to say was poor as this was one of the best restaurants in Surrey. Thank you all Lord Boulter

We have eaten at Le Raj several times - on our own and with friends - and the food, presentation and service is always excellent. It is also the only Indian restaurant we order takeaway from. Best onion bhajis ever. We've been happy customers for several years. Highly recommended.

Great food selection , good quality and friendly staff. Dinner for 6 . $346 CAD

Fine dining restaurant. Nice decor, a bit darker inside. The staff are very nice and the service was quick. We were the only people in the restaurant. Not child friendly at all. No high chairs. They opened the bottled water without asking us first. Food wise, the poppadams were good along with the assorted condiments. The chapatis were good. The daal had a little too much garlic, was otherwise ok. The paneer was a pinkish in colour, something i have never seen before. The rice was ok. All in all, the food was average. If i had other options, I wouldn’t eat here.

Ordered a takeaway to celebrates mums birthday. First time ordering, food arrived piping hot and in good time. The food was amazing, the best we have had in a long while, will be back!

By far the Best example of this cuisine we’ve had to date 👍🏽

The quality of delivery food in comparison with dining in is a bit disappointed.

They will spam you with text messages and the opt out option doesn't work

Before everything was perfect until Christmas we didn't have a menu to choose what we want we were like kids in a boading school, we all had the same food big disappointed and it wasn't cheap food over £100

This was amazing! I tried the tandoori chicken and absolutely loved it! I fell inlove with the onion Bhaaji and the chicken tikka was on the spot!

The finest restaurant for miles around. The food never disappoints, the staff always willing to go that extra furlong to enhance your experience. We went for the mid day service. Delightful.

Well, generally i have been visiting this restaurant twice a month. And this is because their accomplished food, good service and beautiful locations. Some of my favorite dishes like e-nan bread with shatkora lamb and tikka masala i will never forget the test in my whole life.

The atmosphere and ambience on entrance and throughout the evening was classy. The staff were superb, and the meals were served to us within a good time. I don't really have anything bad to say, but I felt the food was quite average, considering the pricing and hype around the restaurant. Although the presentation was great, I wasn't blown away by any of it, and I can't say I'm itching to go back. Overall, it was alright, but I probably won't go back again. You're paying more for the experience rather than the food, in my opinion. Thanks.

Have been here regularly for quite some time and cannot complaint, always amazing service, amazing food, amazing presentation…. Will always recommend if looking for an exquisite meal!

Всё замечательно но дорого...оставили за шестерых 380£

Visited Le Raj about two weeks ago and was beyond my expectations. On arrival we sat in the lounge drinking beer and Prosecco while waiting on another guest. There was a perfect ambience and the staff were very welcoming and friendly too. The main restaurant was set out really beautifully and the lighting was great. Service continued to be exceptional as we had starters and then mains which were the perfect portion and tasted amazing. When we finished up, we got some cocktails which tasted better then actual cocktail bars. Best pina colada I’ve ever had! Will be returning for birthdays and celebrations again in future!

Ordered online and the meal was delivered hot in 40 minutes. Lovely packaging and very friendly delivery. The food was really-really good! Delicious little crispy samosas and very tasty high quality dishes. Light and aromatic, not generic and heavy. Good portion sizes. It is slightly pricey but well worth it for the quality! This is not a bog standard el cheapo curry house.

Took my wife and son last night . I could only afford 2 poppadoms 2 mains and 2 chappaties between the three of us. With the cheapest bottle of red, my bill was £80 . Pretentious and overpriced we left hungry .sorry. Guys I'm not used to these prices

Place is really nice. The service also good.little bit expensive but food quality is good

Lovely place. Food was absolutely amazing, though a little pricey. Definitely worth a visit though.

Food is Awesome. It is Indian (Bangladeshi) cuisine of the best quality.

Had heard good things about this restaurant, and wasn't disappointed. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, from a warm greeting, attentive service, well presented and great tasting food (clearly, everything from the popadum, to the nann are made in house) and the ambience of the restaurant, all were above expectation. I was impressed, and would return. Food maybe lacked a touch of salt, but that's to my taste and salt provided on tables. Could not fault, and do not understand bad reviews of this establishment.

Food and service is always incredible, always recommend Le Raj to my friends and family!

My wife and I visited having heard many good reports. Service was appalling. Waiters were miserable and unfriendly. The main guy was good but out of his depth with the overall running of the restaurant. Took an age to get a drink and then we were not offered another all night except for when I stopped a waiter and asked him to get one for me. Food to be honest was okay. My duck starter was drowned in lemon and lime and couldn’t taste duck at all. 3/10. My main a fish dish with E naan could best be described as a spicy fish finger sandwich. Highlighted bad customer service to manager who removed the service charge and promised to contact me to arrange a better experience to make up for the evening. I even sent an email to remind him of my contact details. Nothing received in response. On a positive. A great Negroni.

Yesterday myself & My partner had taken some time out to Visit: Le Raj to have a celebrational Meal, this wouldn’t be out first visit to this Indian restaurant based in Epsom. Admittedly it’s not the most affordable as far as an Indian restaurants is concerned. That being said it is always well prepared dishes & very polite customer services which for me both go a long way. Desert this time Round wasn’t the best kulfi as normally it’s very creamy it was almost like it had been repeatedly Re-frozen but overall good Experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Regards William.

Excellent food 😋 and great 👍 service. Thank you

Last night i been the restaurant with my friend.we had tandoori mixed grill, pilau rice and e nan.all fresh food and freshly cooked.dinner was delicious.I’m glad I had very good meal with my friend first time.also all the staff professionally welcome us and very friendly.very good customer service.i highly recommend.thanks to all the friendly staff

This is quite possibly the worst Indian food I have EVER had. Tasteless, dry and quite honestly not nice. If I could give it no stars I would. I’m not sure where they got all these awards and recognition. Horrendous. Save yourself money and disappointment and go to Dastaan!

We booked a reservation for 8:30 for my mothers birthday I had made the restaurant aware we was going to be late I then arrived earlier than what I told them I would be arriving at they had given our table away to someone else and said we had to wait an extra 30 mins for our table, the worst curry house I’ve ever been to also worst customer service I’ve experienced to

I have now called the Raj twice (my brother called from overseas also)and even turned up in person when passing by last Sunday en route to London, to discuss a birthday party on 12 March at the restaurant but have received no call back to date or indeed an email as I have been promised each time. Indeed, the gentleman who picked up on my second call could barely communicate in English and so clearly failed to communicate my request for a manager to call me. Appalling service and Zero stars (Ino posting possible for no stars).

I had a fantastic experience at Le Raj this weekend. The food and service were outstanding

Lovely experience. Made me feel very special on my birthday 🎉. Food was delicious!

Delicious food, amazing staff, and fantastic service! We love it! Thank you for helping to celebrate my daughter’s 16th birthday! We highly recommend this restaurant, and we will certainly visit it again.

Loved it! Such an experience as well as great food

Beautiful food and service, defiantly come back again.

Got a takeaway from Le raj on our return from Bulgaria. Work that one out. No photos. Food is always good here. Usually visit after a trip to our vets next door.

We opted for Le Raj this evening for my mothers birthday as we thought it would be a slightly more special experience than our usual Indian takeaway. Sadly, it did not deliver, as all of the dishes lacked depth of flavour. Whilst all of the food was clearly freshly made with natural, organic ingredients, the sauces were unfortunately lack lustre and watery. Whilst some may prefer the lighter, perhaps healthier style of cooking, it wasn’t the indulgent Indian dining experience we were after.

Good, but not as special as I had lead to believe

I know this restaurant very well....because I worked there before...youAfter 3 days I will explain what kind of restaurant it i's?

A bit more expensive than other indian restaurants but great food choices, well presented and authentic preparation without artificial additives. Good atmosphere, helpful and friendly service. Nicest toilets ever for a restaurant!

Had a really lovely birthday dinner here!

One of the better Indian restaurants in the Epsom area. Food was nice with a good blend of spices, well presented and reasonably priced. Had to wait a long time to get our courses. Would go again though.

Very quiet even for a Tuesday night but service and food,good, extensive menu and reasonably priced.

Amazing place....how have I never been here before. Best curry I've ever had by far. Thank you Le Raj

High place Indian dinning. But at a price. If you are looking for somewhere special or can afford higher prices, then this is the place for you. Parking at times is a little constrained. Five stars for experience only i.e. excluding cost.

Treated appallingly for my Valentines meal. They happily took the booking but then gave my table away to, I guess, more valued customers. Back to square one on my valentines surprise thanks to these clowns. Not what you expect from a michelin star restaurant.

Outstandingly disappointing service for anywhere let alone this level of restaurant. Our main course, which we had to chase up on, took well over an hour to come and was missing several dishes. The staff were inattentive and the management were not in the slightest bit apologetic. We were not the only people dissatisfied so please don’t think this view reflects us being particularly picky. The food that we did get was good but spoiled by the service. Sadly I would not now recommend this restaurant to friends or anybody.

Le Raj is absolutely sublime, every ingredient tastes fresh and perfectly selected. No matter what you choose to have, it always tastes authentic and Michelin star. I have never had a bad experience with any dishes and cannot shout loud enough from any mountain top as to how good Le Raj is!!!

I made a booking yet no table booked. We did get a table very quickly however i showed the phone number and could prove i booked. No problem however after ordering we waited 1and half hours before any food came out and then it was our mains ( we ordered starters!) again all sorted however when mains reappeared it was not hot. Service was very slow and although starters taken of bill it was fairly embarrassing as we had chosen the restaurant to meet our friends. We were given a bottle of low alcohol gin and a rum to apologise however most were leaving with these bottles. Sadly I wont rush back which is so sad as had good meals in the past but i felt was average and expensive for what we had. A real shame ….

Great food, very tasty. Service a bit slow but attentive and accommodating. Was serving on his own though. Will definitely be going again.

Have been a regular customer here. Accept that it's more expensive than other indian restaurants but you are paying for that difference. Last week however it was very poor ;to the extent that one diner thought it was the worst meal they had ever had there. Food wad sent back to the kitchen and the meals were just so average. I wrote to LeRaj a week ago but disappointingly haven't received a response. We won't be returning unless we receive an explanation.

First time delivery from Le Raj Restaurant, absolutely beautiful food, very much needed at the end of a long week, thank you for the speedy delivery

Love Le Raj Restaurant food.. we order from here weekly! Highly recommended.

Absolutely an Amazing Experience, celebrated our anniversary, the food was delicious, staff members were assets of the company; very professional and attentive. Would definitely come back again. Thank you

Very good ♥️💪 We have enjoyed Le Raj Restaurant so many times since going first for dinner back in September. Now we are back again t is a blessing to be able to order to take away and eat such great Gujarati food at home! Could not recommend higher!

One of the best restaurants in Epsom area. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is excellent. A must if you are in the area and fancy Indian food. We will certainly be back soon!

It was a wonderful experience visiting Le Raj Restaurant and dining this time too….Excellent food, good choice of dishes, I would recommend “house special chicken tikka curry” made in Punjabi style…

Completely different from typical British Indian food, this place is all about flavor and quality. The menu is diverse without being overwhelming and has some great takes on classics

It was lovely and great to dine at Le Raj Restaurant with family- We had few starters and thali & Masala Dosa. Very welcoming staff and well-spaced and organized. Recommend Le Raj Restaurant to all for a great vegetarian food
