We haven’t been to Raj for a while but went tonight with our son. Warmly welcomed by Ali and his team and shown to a table straight away. Food came quickly, a couple of starters followed by chicken tikka dansak, murgham masalam and chicken tikka rogan josh. The service was very good especially considering they were also hosting a wedding party. Won’t leave it as long before I go back again.

Monday evening, just fancied a curry, never been to Raj before, thought I'd give a try. Decor and fittings where very nice .Quite quiet as it was early evening, greeted at the door, shown to table, staff where attentive without being pushy, just about right. Food came quite quickly and was very nice, service may not be as quick when the place is full, but that's to be expected. All in all, a very nice meal and pleasant evening. Will definitely visit again.

Fourteen of us just been to the Raj Indian for our Xmas get together but there are some issues that need sorting out, the service is extremely poor from ordering to actually getting any food was approximately an hour, not everyone had a starter so don't know what took so long to get poppadoms etc to the table, I asked if my husband could have his main meal at the same time as my starter, well that never happened, he waited another half hour and others in our party waited two hours for just one course as that was all they were having, not great when you are very hungry, much of the food was barely warm by the time they got it as there was only one waiter bringing the food on a trolley and serving it, other customers were served and long gone and they came in after us, I will not be backnor will I recommend anyone to come here, to be fair food was good but not worth the wait 😠👎

Went to pick up at time stated waited 30 mins after I arrived. Chicken tikka masala was absolutely awful, no taste very salty. Paid for items but never received. First time and last time I will order from them. I will never use the restaurant if this is the service and food that they serve.

Visited on a Monday evening and was around half full not to bad for a Monday. The staff here are so friendly and the food is consistently outstanding it has to be the number one Indian in this area. For a change had the chicken Nepali and it was really tasty and thegarlic&chilli naan bread brilliant.

Can't fault this Indian. Everything cooked well ,great favour in the food. Pretty authentic. The special rice was unbelievable. Definitely worth a visit. Looking at the restaurants in the area there isn't a great deal here worth visiting for Indian food. This one however is decent. Mixed grill was lovely.

Have visited twice in recent weeks one on a Saturday night when the service left a lot to be desired as they were really busy and seemingly short staffed. The food though was as usual excellent. Then a couple of weeks later visited on a Sunday evening and the difference was quite remarkable so laid back and everything under control. Have been trying different dishes lately and not my usual vindaloo and all have been really good.

Two years since last New Year’s Eve party at this establishment and it was really magical. The staff so helpful and really busy when the fireworks started to make it enjoyable for everyone. The food as always really great and in stead of Vindaloo I tried Hagi Baji and it was tremendous, my wife had the same but balti style. So a really Fabulous evening at east Lancashire number one Indian restaurant.

Ordered online, impressed with speed of service as meal was ready on arrival. Unfortunately the food itself was a big disappointment. Starters very small for the price and stone cold. I soon realised why the food was ready so quick. It was a case of about 3 chunks of chicken stirred in to a fairly tastless ready made curry sauce probably from a jar ! I could have bought that from Asda 😂 Haven’t been to the Raj for many years and sadly won’t return which is a shame as it is so local.

Restaurant was nice and clean food was mediocre but palatable price was not too bad thought the kids meals were ok, but to my disappointment service was diabolical poppadums arrived once finished we had to ask for the starters which arrived with the kids meals as asked for, then we waited and waited having to ask 4 times for the mains even the dishes from the starters hadn’t by this point been removed, anyway after a long wait mains arrived. When we had finished we sat for a while asked for the bill, then asked again and again we waited probably more than half an hour for the bill by this time the kids were tired and stressed, for a restaurant that size they need more than 3 people serving, also the bar was full to the brim of empties I will not be going back to this place again

Had a table booked for 5pm there were 6 of us. Upon arrival the place was clean with alcohol gel to clean our hands and the staff were wearing masks. We were seated promptly and ordered our drinks and starters, they arrived in good time and we enjoyed them. The mains came and again great timing and enjoyable, we were asked a few times if everything was ok and that was good they clearly look after their guests. Our waiter was spot on and Is a credit to your business. Didn’t catch his name though

What can I say, a simple order no starters, chicken tikka biryani, chicken Bengal with boiled rice and a plain naan. We received a plain chicken biryani, a chicken tikka Bengal and pilau rice, I even said boiled rice twice as it was pointed out that rice or a naan bread was included with the chicken Bengal. As we live at the far side of Darwen it would have taken too long to take it back. Having said that, the food was very tasty, the sauce with the chicken Bengal spicy and rich, well worth going to even if the order is wrong.

Visited the raj as a last minute tea with the kids on the eat out to help out offer. Service was good, a little slow but they did seem run off their feet and we didn't book so can't complain. They didn't mind that we shared meals which was a good thing as we can't eat full meals each. Food was good and we got to eat out as a family for a total of £20.91

My wife & I came across the Raj by chance while we were looking for somewhere to eat before going to a show at the Empire Theatre. We were in unfamiliar surroundings, & couldn't have been more pleased. Ideally situated about 15 minutes walk from the theatre, absolutely amazing food, good choice of drinks & friendly service.

We love it here and always visit as a family for the Sunday Buffet (set price). Fabulous food, fantastic staff and a great atmosphere. A brilliant way to try new dishes and you can have as much as you can eat. The set-menu is on a 4-week rotation which is also a great idea. We've ordered take-away (local pick up) from the main menu too and enjoy the masala.

Was out with a friend for the day so decided to google Indian restaurants in the area and this place came up and had some good reviews and as it was a Sunday they was doing a Sunday Buffett so decided to give it a try. On entering it seemed to have a few people in so though would be good we was sat at a table by the waiter who came across as abrupt . Waited 15 min before our order for drinks was taken I don’t know why they call it a Buffett as it’s nit you can’t just help yourself it is served to you and is a set menu waited over 35 min for the starters to be served but the waiter was the only person serving he was also the barman and was waiting on two large tables also so sort of understand the guy was rushed of his feet but still 35 min for food was a little long the starter was ok nothing special but eat it then waited a further 15 min before we was asked if we wanted more starters which we declined and said was ready for mains which after about 15-20 min was served abruptly again as the waiter was so rushed of his feet and he was physically sweating profusely it was dripping of him. Had mains and it was week 3 on the buffet menu was ok again nothing special we could not get in any mediocre establishment elsewhere . Finished but decided to leave the table next to ours the language of the group was disgusting never in my life have I ever eaten in a restaurant and heard this kind of language swearing is a understatement very shocked and embarrassed not being from Blackburn I was just shocked . Anyway had enough so just got up and went to pay the same guy served us again and he just said he was rushed of his feet didn’t ask if we enjoyed our meals etc etc didn’t even say thank you. I don’t think I will be eating here again

Went there a few months back. Food was disgusting, would not give it to the dog. Black, hard chips, black thick veins in the 'chicken', one curry was practically a tomato curry as it had no meat in it. Complained and nobody knew who the manager was but eventually somebody came over and said they will refund nothing and if we don't pay they will call the police! We paid but never going back. No idea how this place had got a single good review. Try going to Darwen and try a proper place instead. Also we even got over charged and they had to redo the bill 3 TIMES!

Went to this restaurant and was put in a seat near the window. Was shocked to see numerous Rats blatantly running around outside on the wall and along the outside of the restaurant. Despite this the rice was microwaved with large congealed lumps, the Nan was soggy., the meat was over cooked and grislly, my partners food was very salty. The Rola Cola was flat and in a very small glass, £1.50 per glass was extortionate. My Coke was swapped, my partner was not even asked if hers should be swapped too. When told the meat was over salty the waiter said he was sorry and would tell the chef.

On the look out for a decent place to eat whilst visiting Blackburn we stumbled upon The Raj as a result of asking a lovely local lady standing at a bus top where she would recommend for us to go to eat. We followed her directions (15 min walk from the cathedral) and came upon The Raj. I have eaten at so many south Asian cuisine restaurants across the UK but the food at The Raj was seriously good. The views from the restaurant of the canal are beautiful and the food was fresh and cooked to perfection. I had the king prawn tikka followed by Lamb korahi which is one of THE best I have ever tasted. The staff were polite and ever so helpful. Great customer service. Reasonably priced too.

From the road this doesn't look up to much but once you are in the decor is brilliant. We were seated overlooking the Leeds Liverpool Canal. The staff were really friendly and the food was really good. Some Indian food is quite bland but this was very tasty and the prices were reasonable.

I've visited here a few times and had take away. Each time I cannot fault the food at all. Every dish I've sampled has been tasty and cooked to perfection. My partner and I held our leaving meal here, raj catered for all 40 of us. The food all came at the same time and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

This is a nice restaurant with very helpful and cheerful staff and whilst I did enjoy my visit the food was a little disappointing. I should point out that several members of the group very much enjoyed the food but the curry lovers found the food to be a little bland and the usually hotter dishes lacked heat.

1st time wev'e ordered , the wrong meal was delivered, it was worth twice as much as our's, we was told we could keep that meal, which was good, our correct meal was delivered later, which was also very nice, & was given a full refund for their mistake, so we had £45.00 worth of food, free, happy day's, the starters came in for boxing day buffet, & we still had two curry's for the night after, happy new year ............it was a take a way

Lovely food, good portion sizes and reasonably priced. Good service - a few sides missing however there were a lot of us and they corrected this quickly. I would visit here again.

We visited Raj one Saturday evening. Quite busy . Staff are excellent very attentive and happy which definitely makes a difference. Kebab and prawn purée ordered both quite good but the prawn lacked flavour.Two curries ordered both absolutely brilliant very tasty . We also had a very nice bottle of merlot again very good. We haven't been here for a while but the mains were brilliant better than I remembered. If I had to make one comment the lounge area could do with a spruce up . Will definitely return !

Booked a table for four ordered the Sunday Buffet at £10 per head plus ordered poppadums' and chutney tray. Was seated quite quickly drinks and starters came quickly and then we seemed to get forgotten, had to try and catch a waiters eye to clear plates then waited for main course to be served. When it arrived it was served in small bowls definitely not enough food to feed 4 people. The service was absolutely shocking as we were sat with some people eating and some not! Not once did we have a waiter come to the table asking us if we were ok? In the end I got up and asked why we had been left with some of the main course but no rice or accompaniments' only to be told it was because they had young staff on! By the time the remaining food came the other food was cold. I gave up in the end whilst the rest of my family ate. I did complain about the service but no one seemed to care. Very disjointed and chaotic! Shame because what little food i did eat was very nice Definitely won't be returning.

Went Raj last night with my wife and brother in law who had recently moved to Lincolnshire from Brighton and there are no Indian restaurants near where he lives. From entering the restaurant to leaving the experience was excellent. The waiters were very good, the food superb, my brother in law couldn't believe how good it was. Whilst the service can be a little slow sometimes, have never had a bad meal here and last night was no exception, a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Visited for my dad's birthday meal with the family. From walking through the door the man behind the door started pouring the pints. Top start. Are good was so good and the staff was brilliant. Fast and fresh can not complain. My daughter and niece was given complimentary ice cream which with kids is always a lovely touch. They really looked after the kids and made our time enjoyable

Some of the best Indian food I've ever tasted!! All the staff are welcoming, friendly and there's one specific gentleman who's extremely funny and always makes our visits even more rememberable! Really good value for money too, we were surprised on our first visit at how cheap it was but yet so tasty!! I've been a few times with my partner now & plan to take our parents on other visits to show off the place! Luckily for us it's only at the end of our street too so can just nip in when we cannot be bothered to cook! Well worth a visit and has amazing views!!
