Needed somewhere to eat on Sunday night, and everything we tried was "Kitchen Closed" except for this place. It's down a narrow side street, but easy to find as it's very well lit. It was absolutely empty and stayed that way except for us. Staff were friendly, and the food was amazing. we were not disappointed with our food at all. We would eat here again.

This place wil try and trick you out of money. When we arrived we were given a table straight away, although we'd noticed it was extremely busy. One of the waiters joked with us about this, however no-one at any point formally warned us that we would be waiting a long time for food. It took around 1 1/2 HOURS for our simple order of one main course each to come, for which we received no apology until we were so frustrated we got up to leave at which point our food was belatedly brought out. After this, astonishingly the owner had the cheek OVERCHARGE us £8.50 for the meal. We weren't given any kind of receipt despite asking for it, which I found very unusual and rather suspicious. When we added up the items we had ordered from the menu they came to much less than we had been charged. When we politely pointed this out, the owner tried to dismiss this several times, until we were eventually reluctantly allowed up to the bar to add up the meals on the calculator ourselves. Even once we were there, we were ignored for around 15 minutes, and we had to add up the meals three times until the owner eventually unapologetically accepted he had made a "mistake", however not before, staggeringly, he had told us "if you have a problem don't come back", an unbelievably rude and arrogant attitude to take towards customers, especially ones you have kept waiting (patiently and politely) for 2 hours and then tried to scam out of money. Even when we were eventually given the extra money back, it was £2 less than we were owed because the owner claimed there was an extra charge for a simple request I'd made about my order despite the fact it didn't say this on the menu and I was at no point warned about this. Worst of all, whilst we were adding up our meals on the calculator we noticed the owner and his waitress JOKING ABOUT US BEHIND OUR BACKS. We left feeling extremely disappointed and upset about what should have been a lovely experience being ruined by the unbelievably poor management of the restaurant. Would give zero stars if I could. There are much better curry houses in the area including Rose of Bengal in Brightlingsea and, especially Saffron in Wivenhoe (who deliver to Brightlingsea) who know how to treat their customers. I say this with a heavy heart as based on the quality of the food alone I would have happily returned, even considering the length of the weight. But based on the atrocious management I have to say ONCE AGAIN AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

We came here for a meal out for Valentines, we literally phoned up last minute as where we had originally booked had sadly let us down & as we were all dressed up with nowhere to go , we thought we’d see if Raj had any tables! Very glad that we did as we had a lovely night , food was very tasty , service was extremely good & all staff were very pleasant & polite. Was a very good atmosphere too. We ate off the normal menu that was offered to us. The staff cannot do enough for you. We received a complimentary starter & dessert & I was given a red rose 🌹 too. Food servings were so generous we took home a ‘ doggy bag ‘ We have been here before as is so local to us & will visit again. Thank you for a very pleasant night.

This takeaway was to celebrate my parents 61st anniversary, the order was ready when I arrived (they deliver too) the food was hot and the flavours were amazing. It was a large order, the owner was very appreciative and generous too, I even had help carrying the order to my car, no one could fault a thing.

We had a wonderful meal at the Raj Massala tonight. The level of cleanliness was really good with spotless glasses and cutlery and the kitchen also looked clean. The food was full of flavour and not greasy at all. we were treated to a complementary vegetable pakora (first time trying this dish and i would order this myself, it was soooo good). The staff are attentive and very helpful. The restaurant was really busy from when we arrived just after it opened and they clearly also have many online orders and deliveries going out. The manager appears to be keeping everything organised well and leading his team (sitting here watching him running about all night and gicing clear orders to staff). The menu states it is under new management and the hygiene rating is 5/5. Yes, the decor could do with refreshing but dont let this fool you, the food is fantastic. I will be honest and admit that i am fussy in terms of cleanliness and taste/quality of food and this restaurant was 10/10. Thanks to all the staff.

We have eaten at Raj before and are never disappointed. We fancied a takeaway and ordered it to be delivered. The food was lovely. With Good portion sizes The meat was tender and cooked nicely, we asked for an extra spicy masala and chef cooked it specially. The mushroom rice is lovely and flavourful. Everything is always done well and we will chose to dine in again when we are in the area. The staff are friendly and attentive when we eat in and we sometime get offered complimentary food or drinks. I highly recommend Raj Thank you !

The Raj always used to be the ‘go to’ local Indian Restaurant…then something went seriously wrong. The food hygiene rating went from a 5 to a 1. Dishes were swimming in oil and despite valiant attempts by staff this was no longer a good call. Fast forward to February 2022! We thought we would have a takeaway from the Raj just to see what they were up to as we had heard some favourable reports and their hygiene rating was back to a 5. GREAT NEWS…The Raj is back and in style! We ordered 5 main dishes, Peshwari and Garlic Naans, a number of side dishes and the almost mandatory Onion Bhaji’s and Poppadoms. All dishes tasted as they should do, were piping hot, with containers filled to the brim. All the meat was good quality, tender and tasty. The mild dishes were mild and the hot dishes were hot enough to keep the most died in the wool chillie aficionado happy and unlike many Indian restaurants ALL the dishes had their own individual flavour. Yes…The Raj is back and back in style!

What a find!!! Wasn’t too sure about this restaurant from the outside as it’s in a very narrow residential street and didn’t look very inviting, but we’d made a reservation so went for it. There was only one other table occupied, with 4 people, so it was a real shame they weren’t busier. Our food was amazing. I had chicken biryani and had asked that the accompanying vegetable curry was a madras heat - it certainly was!!! My husband had chicken vindaloo and was delighted at how hot it was. Both dishes had an abundance of chicken and, unlike other establishments, the vindaloo wasn’t full of potatoes at the expense of the meat. We were even given a complementary small chicken samosa each! The food portions were extremely generous which was great as the food was so delicious! When we finally asked for the bill, we were offered a complementary after dinner drink, but declined as we were so full. We fully recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning.

Food and entertainment was good but with a packed restaurant the maitre d/owner took advantage and overcharged us for the drinks bill. The drinks bill was not itemised and we reluctantly paid the bill as difficult to prove without resulting in a scene at the end of the evening. The next day, after discussing with other attendees, it has come to light, that this overcharging happened to many people at this particular event. For this reason, we will not be frequenting the restaurant again. Apologies to the waitresses who worked so hard on the evening but we did not tip due to their boss’s greediness and blatant dishonesty.

We often get takeaway's from here, and occasionally eat in, and the curry's are always lovely and a very reasonable price! My favourite dishes are the aloo chat to start and the vegetable dansak for main. The lamb saag, chicken jafrahni and chicken madras are also very popular in our household! Imran is great and provides the best service.

We use this restaurant a fair bit. The food is good, but is becoming pricey for where and what it is, Service is good, but the manager seems to stop staff from performing their role and wants to control everything too much instead of letting them get on with it. Best value due to their prices is to visit on Banquet nights as a better deal. Drinks again are getting pricey, hence its rarely full now, A main dish and rice will cost about £11 each, Indian food hasn't changed just the prices seem to have escalated. Price increases could be counter productive.

So, our takeaway (less than 300 yards away) was promised within 45 mins - 1 hour max. 80 mins later I phoned to chase up to be told by the guy who originally took my order "oh, haven't you received it yet?" He then went away for a few mins and came back to say another 10 mins max. 25 mins after that I phoned again to chase up and the same guy told me the delivery driver had left 2 mins ago ... when I tried to question him why he'd not kept to any of his delivery time promises he slammed the phone down on me. When the delivery driver eventually arrived (from 300 yards away!) I almost told her to take the food back unpaid but my wife (who'd been in hospital the previous 24 hours) and I were hungry. I started to tell the delivery driver about what had happened and she immediately said "he put the phone down on you didn't he, I've told him so many times before that he can't do that". The only reason we used Raj Spice was because Kovalam (with 100 times better and much friendlier staff and much better quality of food) is no longer open. I'll never make the same mistake and waste our hard earned money on this rude liar again. Disgusting way to treat a cash paying customer.

Been going to this little restaurant for many years now. It's now under new ownership and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The new co-owner used to just be a waiter but he's taken his new role like a duck to water and runs the place with true professionalism. The food has always been good but it's now great. I'm a seasoned curry eater and I'd rank the Raj right up there. Well done chaps, keep it up. The delivery driver girl can be a little coarse at times though and spoils the ambience when in the restaurant

Not been for year or so. Under new ownership. Food was ok but my meal did not seem all that hot - hot in the heat sense rather than spicy. Very friendly service and the food came quite quickly. They have some good meal deals on a couple of nights each week I noticed. Worth a visit.

It's one of the best curries we have ever had in a long while. Staying at the Premier Inn, we found Tandoori Nights while Ten Pin Bowling 🎳 on Google, so we ordered and collected on the way back to the hotel. We grabbed a bottle of wine from Best Supermarket up the road on Rosemary Road while it was being made. Fantastic flavour, good portions, and great service with a bit of banter with recommendations. We stay in Clacton a lot, so we now have our regular curry house. Tikka Masala, Lamb Balti, Potato Bombay Aloo, Rice and Nan £30 bargain.
