Good food, though standard problem of meat not infused with sauces. Unfortunately delivery terribly slow and without any warning or apology.

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.

The food was good but the service wasn't great. It took about an hour to get the main course! They served warm bottled coke. The ceiling tiles were a bit mucky and the place could generally do with some attention.

Excellent value and quality. We ordered online for pick up , as it was around the corner from our holiday let. Exceptional quality and quantity enough food for dinner the next day. We ordered, Two curries , 1 rice and 1 side dish and x 2 poppadoms with mango chutney . It also came with complimentary salad and riata. Came to £22 with a 10% discount for ordering on line!

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.
Nuzhat Babar . 2024-08-09

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.

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.

Visiting Penrith for the weekend with my partner. We found Raj restaurant online and decided to book. The food and service was excellent. 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. If we stay in Penrith again we will be back!

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.

We went to have a big meal with family we've not seen for ages. But my young daughter was very poorly so we had to leave before the mains came out. We agreed we'd pack ours away to take with us and while we was waiting our waiter (the fella from Loughborough) got her some ice-cream to make her feel better, which was really nice of them. The service was great the food is great and they take good care of you. Can't rate the place enough. We'll definitely be back. Hopefully with a less poorly child

Got a set mael for two. Ordered Saturday 21st September at 16:48, delivered at 17:07 allthough when ordering instructions were 55 mins wait time for delivery. On delivery it was obvious that the food had been reheated, most probably left overs from the previous day. I'm far from happy as this is supposed to be the best Curry house in Penrith. Once bitten twice shy. I will not be ordering again, everything went in the bin.

We stayed one night at The Victoria while cycling coast to coast (23/07/21) The landlady Tien was fantastic, she was welcoming and helpful-even taking me to see a local cycle repair man to arrange to fix my bike (at 10pm!!!) despite the pub being jam packed during the annual music festival. The rooms although basic are clean, the bed comfy and shower hot-nothing else was required! Highly recommend this place for a top quality stay-it's not five star in the luxury department but the customer care is unmatched. We will stay again.

Delivery was very quick and food was hot. Was starting to enjoy our meal but then was very disappointed. Curry was very watery and then to top it off we found a spider inbetween our poppadoms. Needless to say we didnt carry on with our meal. Not good.
