I feel like we visited a completely different restaurant to everyone else. Waiters only spoke to us when absolutely necessary and weren't friendly. I felt like I was a nuisance throughout. The toilets need renovating/a good scrub and towards the end of our meal I was dreaming of our warm premier inn. My two young sons spilled a glass of water over the table and when we asked for help, the waiter gave us a roll of kitchen roll and walked away, leaving us to go up to the bar with a pile of soggy tissue. There were plenty of people in there for a Tues night, both dining and getting takeaways. I'm completely perplexed as to why...

Food was completely tasteless, I had a lamb balti and it had no spice to it at all my partner had a korma and it was completely flavourless. When I went to collect at 18:30 there was absolutely no one inside dining. A few people I know have said it was tasteless but I thought they were just being fussy! I can assure you I have not enjoyed my Friday take away at all and I will not be going back in a hurry!

booked for 8pm, seated at 8.30, drinks finally served. Waited about 30 minutes for poppadoms to be served. Main meal were served about 9.45. Food was ok. my Philli chicken was bland, no spice or heat. Chicken was dry and boiled. Missing cutlery, serviettes. The serviette I was provided had curry all over it. We did complain but this fell on deaf ears. Won't rush back.

My wife and I made an overnight stop at the nearby hotel in Penrith and decided to try the Raj. It was a completely wonderful experience. The food ranks with the very best curries we have eaten over 40 years! The staff were attentive without being overbearing. The value for money was exceptional. We live in Spain so we cannot become regulars . Alas!! We enthusiastically recommend it to those of you who can.

Absolutely amazing. 6 of us came from Carlisle on the train. Really tasty, great service. The best onion bhaji's and Nann bread I've had . I'd recommend the special thawa for someone who doesn't like a spicey curry. Not a bad thing to say from all 6 of us. Everyone really enjoyed everything. Knocks the shoes off places in Carlisle. Not bad priced too.

Most of the food had no taste. I ordered chicken pakora as a starter and as someone who has experience in the catering industry I'm certain they brought me frozen chicken tenders that i couldnt even cut. This alone is a disgrace to Indian cuisine. I went on to order a house special biryani. It had no flavour and just spice (which I specifically requested so minimal credit given for that.) While I was eating, my plate got taken away before I could even respond to say I wasn't done so I had to finish eating out of the dish it was served in. I only stayed because we were short on time and hungry since we were only stopping in Penrith briefly. I have been to a lot of Indian restaurants and this may be the worst, especially since everyone seemed to adore it since they likely don't know better due to it being the only local Indian restaurant. I was about to fill out the recommend section then realised I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Thank you for reading hope this helps.

Starters were unrecognisable. Aloo chaat looked like aloo curry. Seekh kebab smelled off and tasted bland. Frozen seekh kebabs from the supermarket are probably better. We asked them for their best dish, being the chicken tawa and it was completely bland and more sweet than spicy like a literal dessert. It makes me think that they ran out of salt. Waste of time and money will not be returning.

WELL… me and my wife were up in Penrith as we were travelling, and we decide to give raj a go… what a mistake that was! Walked in and who do we see on the left? IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. We stayed regrettingly and sat down and ordered. Took about half an hour for someone to actually come and serve us, then another hour just to get our food, which wasn’t even worth the wait as it was the blandest curry I’ve ever had in my life! And the chips were clearly aunt Bessie’s finest. And the bloke had the cheek to ask if I wanted to leave a tip! Don’t recommend this place at all

Arrived around half 9 for a table for 2. Don't be put off by the 3.9 stars, because the food and the service was great! My partner and I got the lamb tikka and mixed tandoori for starter, Shilla with chicken, mushroom rice and garlic naan for main. Plenty of food for both of us. It was quiet when we arrived and the music could've been better (lol) but the food was authentic. I will always say, there's no point in going to a curry house if you're not gonna order the chef's specials.

This was a second visit to Penrith this year and a return to Raj. This time after asking about various food options the owner asked if he could make us a specific dish each based on our original choices/request. The result was a fantastic, tasty meal. He took time afterwards to chat to us about the origin of the ingredients he had used. Highly recommend a visit.

We could not decide what to have and the waiter asked us what we liked and made his own meal for us. It was beautiful and had everything we had asked for. Had a mixed starter for two which was outstanding and a chutney tray which was like any standard restaurant. I drank wine and it was good. Beers are available, plus other drinks.

Final dinner on our vacation. My father ordered off-menu without even realizing it, and the staff invented a dish on the spot so he could get the dish he wanted. They brought us a sauce sampler tray before dinner, along with a special little appetizer with a kind message written on the plate in sauce. The food was fantastic, and to top it off, not nearly as expensive as we would have guessed. The staff made us feel very welcome. I don’t usually leave reviews online but the food and service was so great I wanted to share.

An interesting range of dishes available as well as the “favourites”. The food was good and the staff friendly, but service was slow. Perhaps they had a shortage of staff that night. Each course took some time to arrive and we waited 20 minutes after asking for the bill. A cheerful young waiter came twice to tell us the bill was just coming. But in the end we simply went up to the bar and paid which perhaps we should have done earlier. However, overall we enjoyed the evening.

Absolutely disgusting experience from this takeaway anyone at centre parcs be aware. When ordering online for delivery be prepared for it to arrive way earlier and sit in the delivery car until your time slot. Guess what.... freezing cold food £50 in the bin. Delivery driver was an absolute embarrassment with a stinking attitude. Called the shop itself and got nothing but a mouthful of bad attitude from them too. Joke of a 'takeaway' and the food is absolute rubbish.
