Raj Tandoori in Newcastle upon Tyne

Excellent curry enjoyed at this restaurant alongside great value pricing.

I haven't visited such a great Indian restaurant in a long time. Very tasty food, great service and authentic Cobra beer... Mega! Absolute recommendation

Excellent have been here many times and always had a great experience and fab food

Bland curry, might be spoilt with coming from Bradford but if I'm being honest I can make better ones. The nann bread was a very small

4 of us were there to dine. After waiting for 30 mins, the big boss / manager came to take order. One of us was not hungry and so we were going to have 3 main meals and 3 whiskey's for my friends . Listening to the food order, the manager refused to serve us. He said we need to order 4 full meals becoz we are 4 people. We booked in My Deli (10 mins walk), ordered same food and they served with all affection. Clearly, Raj Tandoori team needs to focus more on service and respect what the customer wants to eat.

Please, visit ASAP! I went here for a dinner date 2 days ago. Amazingly tasty and authentic food. Everything tasted fresh and was soooo delicious. Staff are incredible and super polite and friendly. Not very pricey either so we got various things.

First class service, incredible food, and very reasonable prices. Unfortunately took no photos... the food didn't last that long. Would definitely come again next time I visit Newcastle.

Perfect delisous food every time, staff are great, would definitely recommend a visit.

Delicious Indian restaurant with good service

Lovely busy curry house! Great staff! Great food!

Ok but nothing special ! The Bombay potatoes were bad, too soft and had no taste and the naan was flat and not puffy. The rice was nice and my Balti was alright. Have had much better so won't be returning !

Very poor, more rice than curry.

Great choice of menu, with delicious food. All the staff are so pleasant and friendly. The Four Course Meal daily menu at £14.95 is brilliant value. Recommended.

Superb curry house right in town Service amazing food amazing What more can I say Go here to eat Highly recommended

Been several times, and I've never had a bad meal. The food is very very good 👍

Très bon restaurant, suivre les (bon) conseils du serveur, je partais sur un plat vindaloo, il m a conseillé madras qui est déjà très très épicé.

Wonderful food, reasonable price, will definitely return!

My favourite curry house in the UK...every visit to the City of Newcastle should involve a visit to the Raj

Food and service were great, excellent value for money.

My friend and I ate there last Thursday was over charged by £5 manager wouldn't listen disgusting manner honestly so RUDE If u can go some where else plz do they just look to put Ur bill up on the £15.50 meal 4 course so bad man My advice do no use

Food delicious ,staff warm and friendly made to feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door service is amazing timed perfectly. Been going for 20+years never been disappointed in all that time will keep going back as perfection is hard to come by these days . Well done Guys

Great value for money. Delicious.

Shocking. Takeaway just gets worse everytime. Rip off. Sorry, but what was once A fantastic place pre COVID, not anymore. Restaurant used to be good as was takeaway. But standards terrible now. Owner used to be nice now its only about the money he can take, not the food.

Say too much food, excellent valley, great staff. Great food.

Went here after visiting St James Park. Bit of a hidden gem. Food was top class and well-priced. Staff slightly miserable. Service was good though, food was ready sharpish.

Would highly recommend. The food was delicious.

Not the best food I've had not very good

Visited with family last night. Excellent meal and very reasonably priced. Also Cobra at £5 pint in city centre is good value. Don't be put off by the location and state of buildings around this place which has seen better times. Would definitely come back.

A lovely meal from their specials menu. Great value too.

There's something special about this place. Yes, some places have such and such. Yes some places feels more Michelin. However, this place makes you feel at home. No nonsense, no trying to he something they are not. Amazing service, amazing atmosphere and of course, amazing food. I've had Indian food all around the country, and nothing has quite added up.

It's a Newcastle Institution. However, that doesn't automatically mean it's any good. The decor is tired and mediocre, the food is regular and unexciting. For city centre dining, it certainly won't break the bank.... but don't expect too much.

Wow - genuinely one of the worst meals I have ever eaten. Ever. Unfortunately the place smells of BO on entering, and it doesn’t get much better. There was certainly no discernible mango in the mango chutney, we had to send the soggy leather-like samosas back, and the least said about the lamb kebabs the better. Food came out almost as quickly as it went in and pretty much looks the same at both ends. 1 star feels a little generous. I’m afraid I won’t be returning.

Everything good atmosphere let down

Food was lovely. Really friendly staff. Reasonably priced too.

The only Indian I go to when in Newcastle

Very good food and good service

We have been here a few times never been disappointed lovely friendly and helpful staff delicious food

Not at all Indian food, taste is not good at all. I cook better than these restaurant.

I asked for spicy food and I got it. Bit hidden from the main walkway but good food.

Great food. Pleasant staff. Would recommend.

I visited twice there. Food was good. 1st time, it was crowded so it took time for our order and 2nd time, it was vacant so got the order quickly. 😀

Excellent service and great food

I had the chillie chicken dish, which the waiter advised was "hot." I found it very bland and tasteless with almost zero spice level. My wife had a vegetarian dish, which was bland and tasteless also unfortunately

Lovely food. Only negative thing was most deserts out of stock but still a great experience

Not authentic Indian. Absolutely not meant for anyone seeking good Indian food. All items we ordered were below average taste. Had the worst Seekh kebab in here.

Been here a couple times and tried the vegan spinach curry and vegetable samosas. The food is unreal and they have big portions (you can definitely share one curry and rice between 2 people plus starter). I recommend this restaurant, they have good service and I will keep coming here.

We enjoyed a lovely meal here with family and friends. Service, food and service were excellent!

Great authentic Indian, proper tandoori cooked in a proper tandor oven.

I'm surprised how this kind of restaurant has rating above 4 star. Place and food was disgusting and behaviour of staff very arrogant. Continuously saying that are finished, can we bring the bill for you. This was a shameful experience for me and my friends. We have paid almost £80 pounds for nothing.

I would have given negative rating but there is no option for this. Me and my other 2 friends visited the place and tandoor was not cooked properly and staff was debating that one not cooked but other is ok. Staff doesn't have any manners to behave with customers and they were very rude. Food wasn't as per the quality the amount which you are paying. Overall one of the worst experience in my whole life.

Nice chilled atmosphere. Service was polite and friendly

Good food and the quantity of the portions is also good 👍

We have today shared a £14.50pp 4 course meal which was excellent. Very friendly and efficient service. The food was very, very good and we can not find fault with anything. Lots of menu choice and great value for money. Mainly 'local' customers which is often a good marker. We will definitely visit again.

Speedy service despite being busy. Wasn't really prawns in starter. More small shrimps. But that is my only complaint. Good tasty portions of curry and rice, and all at a reasonable price. Would recommend.

Lovely food sensible prices. Staff friendly but not fussy. Would go again. On my phone experience would recommend

Have been going to this Indian restaurant since 1995. and the food is excellent, even when busy you never wait long, staff are friendly and service very good, the owner overseas and always asks if everything is fine. Busy at weekends make sure you book or miss out.

Want a delicious tandoori takeaway? Perfectly coated and baked in tandoor oven I can wholeheartedly recommend the tandoori chicken served at Raj Tandoori. It's rare to find the authentic smoked rich taste done so well. Will be ordering again next time I'm in Newcastle.

Been a family favourite for as long as I can remember and still as amazing as ever... food/service/atmosphere 10/10

The food was awesome and the staff was really friendly. A really nice and cost environment as well.

Visited this a few times, one of the better Asian restaurants in Newcastle.

Been going to the Raj longer than I can remember, just been tonight with my wife, son, his family and the grandson along with his partner, my wife is now wheelchair bound, the family and staff of the Raj do everything in their power to help us feel welcome, the food is always the same, never changes and is always to our liking, thank you so much for a great family night out. See you all again soon.

Best curry house I've been to in Newcastle, been going here for 5 years now. Amazing crispy onion bhajis in particular

Best and most consistent Indians in the Toon.

Very clean restaurant. Food in excellent and reasonably priced. Staff are friendly and polite.

I go here every time with work. Staff are excellent. Food is awesome

Love this place, the best Indian restaurant in Newcastle.

Very friendly staff, quick turnaround with food and .......... Awesome curry mmmmmmm

Meal for two, very quiet, but it was quite early. Meal had lots of meat in. Would definitely return.

Excellent 4 course menu for just £15

Fantastic food, just devine and very friendly and attentive staff. First class 🌟

Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Best onion bhajis ever.

Overall a good experience here, food well "spiced". Portions were generous in size but my main could have done with a extra couple of pieces of chicken. It's located in a side street but easy to find, I will definitely return next time I am in Newcastle

Great restaurant quality food with excellent service.

Very delicious, must visit whenever I’m in Newcastle!

Really really delicious, let us in to sit and eat at 11pm!

Visited here twice now and both times we have not been disappointed at all. Staff are very welcoming. The food is so delicious and cooked to very high standards.

Absolutely beautiful food couldn't fault it 😋

Unfortunately my visit here with the family was very disappointing. Food was very bland and overpriced. I’m not a local but I won’t be going back to this restaurant when I return to Newcastle

Brilliant restaurant, Good food, good prices and good staff. Clean toilets. Faultless

The staff was so friendly and the food amazing. Open til late and good price. :)

Five star service and food alike thank you to noah and staff for such a lovely night

Had a couple of hours to kill in Newcastle and found this curry house hidden away in a side street. Friendly and efficient staff. Cobra beer on draft. Ordered a couple of kebab starters followed by a butter chicken tikka and a house special curry. Both very good and will be going again next time we are in Newcastle.

First time but not the last, great value set menu and the service was excellent a hidden gem

Beautiful food, good atmosphere and fantastic staff. Highly recommended

Looking forward to eating in here next time I'm in the toon!

Great place, traditional cuisine without being pretentious,asked for a methi ghosht, which wasn't on the menu,no problem,not even on new years eve,staff and manager so friendly and accommodating. Dish was delicious as was my the tikka butter chicken.We will be back, the sooner the better!!!

Service not good, tired waiters, below average taste, chkn tikka masala was extra sweet more like a dessert, too much of food colourings used.

Great fixed menu and tasty curries. Yum Yum.

Best Indian restaurant In Newcastle, Great food and service.

Nice food, nice people, good value

This is a fabulous curry house. Always made welcome by the staff and the food is fantastic. They will accommodate any requests you have wether it is hotter or not. I can't recommend this place enough.

We had a take-away: staff were friendly and very helpful and the food was very tasty. I have mutton which I love and can’t find in many places. The Biryani was also very tasty.

Food was lush we will definitely be back we all loved ot me my husband and 2 kids

Went here on a whim after work finished late (nearly 11pm). All other takeaway options nearby looked awful. I must have arrived just in time as curtains were closed and staff were cleaning. But 10 minutes later I had a freshly cooked Biriyani. Was 20 minutes before I got back to my hotel to eat, but the food was still hot and fresh tasting. Good flavours, nice and rich curry. Tasted fresh. Great portion size. Onion bhajis were a bit greasy. Staff were friendly too. Decent price!

What I would call a proper curry house. Delicious food, from the poppadoms (the lime pickle is so delicious) to the curries and naan. The staff are friendly and polite without being overly intrusive and the place is spotlessly clean. Well worth a visit, just don't be put off by the surroundings of Pudding Chare.

Lovely, friendly atmosphere. The food is well presented and tasted amazing, it was also well priced for a city centre restaurant. This was my first time at Raj nd will defiantly visit again and recommend to friends

Enjoyed my food and the staff were friendly.

One of the worst curries I've had. Asked for it to be spicy and it came with the same heat as ketchup would be. My friend asked for it extra hot and it was less than mild. My kharai had more onions in it than a dopiaza would have. Seriously i can't believe that the people of Newcastle have to put up with such poor food as the experience of this place has been the experience of many other places in Newcastle. You want a proper curry then go to Yorkshire or Manchester.

Would request you to treat all customers in same manner. Food was average. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.

Food is always amazing and staff are very friendly and helpful
