Tasty curry, good portions with friendly and swift service. My veggie Dhansak was good, spicy as requested and the chicken tikka masala and pathia seemed to go down well though the chicken could have been more succulent apparently. Overall a reasonably priced, friendly local curry house in Emmer Green

Don't think we would risk trying another Indian restaurant. Always a warm welcome, tables well-presented, staff attentive, food consistently hot, delicious and not greasy and value for money. Shhh . . . don't tell everyone about this little gem! Waddington Family

My wife & I have been eating from Raj Tandoori for some time. The quality of food is consistently high (excellent) and the best in the north Reading area. As well fantastic food we have also occasionally eaten in the restaurant where the service was first class. Consistent quality of food and great service with a very competitive price giving great value for money. Highly recommended.

Recently visited here for food. Their offers on a Monday and Tuesday are great. Not the best curry I have had but by no means the worst. Unfortunately I had quite a bad case of the explosive ones for the rest of the evening.

This was perfect way to spend time while our EV was charging (although we’d added plenty of charge at the nearby Instavolt chargers before we’d finished popadoms!). Service was friendly and swift. Food was great and full of flavour. Beats a petrol station!

Right. Where do I start. Excellent service from Robbie and Ali. The two of them served up an incredible feast. Proper Bangladeshi restaurant that serves excellent grub. The Sag Paneer.. you won’t get better in Reading. Perfect blend of Spinach and Paneer cheese. The vindaloo was beautiful, the spices, the flavour, wonderful. Will definitely recommend to anyone in the Reading area. One of the best curries I’ve had in years. Caversham, emmer green, central Reading. Where ever you’re from, get over to the Raj! 5 stars

We have had regular takeaways over the past year and without exception they have been excellent. Always very tasty, ready on time and piping hot. I look forward to being able to dine in soon and I hope the local community supports this excellent restaurant.

Really disappointing. The Chicken Korma tasted like treacle and was the worst I’ve ever had. I’ve been eating Korma’s for over 30 years and it’s never tasted like that anywhere else. The menu said that we had a free coffee with the meal - when I asked for it the waiter said that the offer was no longer available as we were looking at an old menu. We were handed the menu when we arrived and it just rounded off a really frustrating experience. Definitely won’t return. The starters were OK, which is the only reason this review wasn’t a ‘terrible’.

Miré cuidadosamente las reseñas de los restaurantes indios locales que se llevan a cabo antes de seleccionar esto. No ordenaré de nuevo.Pedí un balti vegetariano para mi esposa. Tenía al menos 1 cm de aceite flotando en la parte superior. La bolsa de papel de cebolla bhaji también estaba empapada de grasa y los bahjis de cebolla estaban aceitosos y desagradables.Voy a cocinar mi propia comida india de ahora en adelante.

This is one of the best, if not the best Indian Restaurants that I have visited. The starters and main courses are excellent. They ask how spicy you like your food. The prices are reasonable, we paid £41.70 for a very good meal for two

El personal muy amable y atento. Sin embargo, el curry es claramente promedio. Pedí 6 curries diferentes, pero la mayoría parecían muy similares en apariencia cuando llegaron a la mesa.Las piezas de cordero eran muy pequeñas y bastante duras. Se sentía como la mayor parte del plato era verduras y carecía de carne. No es particularmente sabrosa.He tenido peores pero he tenido mucho mejor localmente. Me encontré deseando estar en otro lugar.

mi compañero encontró un cabello humano y tuvo que sacarlo de la boca, tenía aproximadamente 6 pulgadas de largo y era de color oscuro. Me quejé y pregunté si empleaban a una dama en la cocina y qué iba a hacer el gerente al respecto. ¡Se acercó y no dijo nada porque estaba lleno de gente y claramente no quería llamar la atención sobre el problema! !Bajó el precio de una comida, pero claramente debería haber proporcionado una comida gratis para los tres y algunos vales para uso futuro hubieran sido un mejor gesto.Nunca volveré a este lugar horrible.

We have visited a few times as a couple and family. The food is fresh, tasty and good value. I could do with a bit more garlic, chilli and spice but appreciate this may not to be to everyone’s taste! The garlic naan was small and not very garlicky but overall a very nice meal and we would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Me recomendaron ir aquí y me decepcionó. La comida era muy fresca, sin embargo, el servicio no fue profesional. Fuimos en un buffet dominical. Los hombres estaban riendo y hablando en el idioma que nos rodea mientras estábamos recibiendo comida. Solo nos dieron un plato y cuando pregunté por el segundo cuando tenía main, él puso los ojos en blanco. Pero no quería comer de un plato con huesos de pollo y salsa de menta. Tuvimos que pedir naan y luego nos sirvieron uno entre 3 de nosotros y vino hacia el final de la comida. Teniendo en cuenta que casi no había nadie en el restaurante, esperaba un buen servicio. Sin duda volveremos a mi buen buffet conocido.

Mi esposa y yo hemos vivido en Emmer Green durante 23 años y este ha sido nuestro restaurante indio en todo. Pero por diversas razones, aparte de las extrañas, el viernes de Pascua fue nuestra primera visita durante 18 meses más o menos. No nos decepcionó. Hacía ruido pero no estaba demasiado ocupado a las 18:30 cuando llegamos y pronto llegaron los poppadoms y la cobra habituales. El pollo bhoona valió la pena la espera y había suficiente comida para un pequeño perrito y cena el sábado. ¡No será tan largo otra vez! !

We visited today.Not worth the time,distance and effort you take to reach this place from Reading town centre. Its around 2.5 miles away from central reading. Now about the buffet. Its a very small restaurant. We walked in and saw the Buffet items in the middle. 2 starters, one onion pakoda and one chicken dry. They were good and thats it. Rest of the items were 1 rice item,1 lamb curry, 2 veg curries(only aloo),rest of the 4-5 were chicken curries. Among which 50% of chicken dishes were sweet. They serve Naan at your table. No desserts. Overall not worth the money and less options as a buffet. No more visits to this restaurant.

We've been here twice in the last two weeks. First Saturday 12 November and also the past Sunday 20 nov. On both occasions , it's been very good all round. The Saturday visit was super busy. Although we had t booked , we were allowed to stand at the bar whilst a table was organised. This Sunday was buffet night. Whilst buffets can be problematic, on this visit it was outstanding. The dishes were topped up and rotated to ensure they were hot and fresh. Service was top notch and good hot and tasty. This is our new goto place. An added bonus is that it is open on Sunday evenings.

The Raj is a small but very friendly restaurant. There is always a lively atmosphere and you're guaranteed a warm welcome. The food is very good quality and reasonably priced. The Sunday buffet is an absolute bargain with lots of choice.The fact that the place has been so successful for over 15 years speaks volumes. We'll worth a visit.

My friends decided that as it was my birthday, we would have a couple of drinks, followed by an Indian meal. We had booked which was just as well as the restaurant was full. It was Wednesday night, and lots of specials available.Had Chicken Madras main course, which was great, accompanied by a Lemon Chilie Rice & Spicy Mushrooms. Service was excellent, everyone served together. Waiters are always friendly. Going back soon!

We have visited the Raj several times now as a couple, with our kids and as part of a larger group. On each occasion the service was very good even though they were busy. We found the food to be of a high standard on each occasion across the menu and was served in a timely fashion. We were given the option to have a break between courses which we declined and the food still came out on time. The waiting staff were very good with our kids and took the time to explain the dishes to them etc. I would definitely recommend.

Visited early on Sunday evening and decided to have the Buffet. There were 4 adults. Tables are a bit close together, but that seems to be normal for Indian Restaurants. The food on the Buffet was delicious and the temperature was very hot which was nice as often buffets are luke warm. One criticism I would have is that you were given a plate and expected to use it all night. Normally you would do this anyway but there is usually a pile of plates on the buffet table so that you can choose a clean plate if you wish - say for example your plate had lots of bones on it and you wanted a clean one. Here it seemed that they put a few plates out per table when you were expected to go to the buffet - in our case 4, then they came and told us there were 4 plates on the buffet table for us. Then when the next customers came in they were told for example - there are 2 plates out for you. I found this very strange - however, having said that the service and food were great and I would definitely return.

First time visiting the Raj buffet. We got there as it opened and was very quiet. We were sat promptly and asked for our drinks order and if we wanted poppadoms. They were hot and came with a good selection of the usual relishes. We had the buffet. Starters were onion bajees, tandoori wings and vegetable curry. I would have appreciated the poppadom sauces being left on the table to have with the starters. Lots of mains to choose from but only potato based dishes if you're vegetarian, which I am, but these were very tasty and I don't have the biggest appetite anyway. Husband sampled all the currys which he enjoyed. Said meat was tender and cut into decent sizes. We enjoyed our time, didn't feel rushed and will visit again as a family.

The food has never fallen in standard, always delicious and the value is excellent especially if you go on a Tuesday or Wednesday - £10.95 for starters, mains, sides, naan, coffee etc. They provide a very personal service getting to know you by first names and if there ever is a rare problem they will do everything they can to put it right and make sure you are happy.

Been coming here for over 20 years so probably time to a quick review!I only tend to have the Sunday Buffet which is incredible value and very tasty. Only criticism is that they have six types of chicken but only one lamb dish (which is very hot). Veg curry is outstanding though as are all the potato dishes... The funky LED lighting is not as bad as the photo suggests!

Having lived in Reading for over 20 years I have tried many Indian restaurants, and the Raj tops them all. With extra friendly staff who welcome every one when they walk in, to the excellent food that is served, this easily makes this place the best place for a curry in Reading. With lots of parking and great food I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a decent meal at a reasonable price.

When I used to live in Reading I was a regular visitor, but I moved abroad 8 years ago. When I return I always make sure I visit at least once. This trip I visited twice and the manager still recognised me. He was still able to a dish I always ask for that is not on the menu and the taste is still is as good as I remember. When I'm asked what I miss about the UK I always say a good curry in general and one from the Raj in Reading in particular.

I have been going to the Raj Tandoori with my family since I was a child, and can honestly say it's the best Indian in Reading, and one of my favourite restaurants in the town! The staff are always so friendly and add a personal touch to the meals which you don't get from chains, and there is a lovely relaxed, simple atmosphere. The food is very good value for money and tastes so amazing that we can't resist and end up over-ordering! Whenever I am back in Reading I pay this place a visit; I cannot recommend it highly enough!

I had a takeaway from Raj Tandoori with several other people. I had chicken madras, lamb korma, sag paneer, pilau rice and garlic nan. The chicken madras was a spicy one - the top end of hot of the madras dishes I've had before. The lamb korma was a touch too sweet. Sag paneer was disappointing as the cheese was melted into the spinach. The nan bread was a little dry. But actually overall I did enjoy the food and would have a takeaway from here again, those are mainly minor points as the overall quality seemed pretty good. It's also reasonably priced - around £5.50 or so for a curry. However, it is not Reading's best Indian in my opinion.

Typical working class indian, tables with one side squished against a wall and waiters used to pointing at stuff for you to pass or simply banging you when they cant reach and need to stick an armpit in your face. Price is a tad much given the place and experience but others may find it more reasonable if used to cafeteria dining. Food was reasonably good, had a poppadom that wasnt cooked and a naan bread that was burnt but everything that had been put in sauce tasted ok..puddings are poor though, £3.50 for a tiny portion of bought in ice cream - better to walk 50 yards down to the supermarket and buy a big tub of nice ice cream for a fraction. Not bad as a council indian.Not great as an indian.No chance on a place to revisit.

There is a large choice of good curry houses in the Reading area and Raj Tandoori is my current favourite. Whether eating in the restaurant or takeaway the food is consistently good. Although the restaurant itself is a little small the service is wonderful. Takeaway food is always ready when they say it will be.If I have just one criticism it's that when taking away the Naan Bread is often a bit undercooked and is a little soggy by the time I get it home (It could be the foil lined wrapper). Nothing a couple of minutes in the oven when I get home can't sort out though.

We had a first class meal at this small but well appointed Indian restaurant.There is a varied and interesting menu and the food is well cooked, spiced not oily and well presented.Their special dishes are very good.They have a small but good wine list as well as the usual beers and lagers associated with this style of restaurant.The owner gave us a warm greeting even though we had not eaten there for some months.The staff are friendly unhurried and quite professional.The offer of complimentary digestives was a bonus and great marketing.The large car park near the restaurant is free.

We have recently discovered that the Raj offers the extreme in laziness ie home delivery of takeaways.So we have started using them and the food is excellent and has always been delivered at the exactly the time stated when the order is placed.All in all, an excellent find.

We have been going here and ordering Take Away from here for years and never disappoints. The owner is a lovely chap and we are always well looked after.Often when we can't be bothered to cook we order a Murade as a healthier take away - tastes great!

Just ordered takeaway, the food was a bit of a let down. The food was cooked well but just tasted very bland. May have been our choice of dishes i.e chicken negris, tarka dal, sag paneer.

We have been eating here regularly fir over 8 years with family and friends. From just 2 of us up to a party of 20 of us on one occasion the quality and service never varies. Take aways and home deliveries are brilliant not to mention their special Wednesday night feast. Well done yet again!

Although this restaurant is quite small it has a clean, cosy atmosphere. I could not fault the food or service. The menu was very expansive and the prices very inexpensive. There were five of us and as usually happens we over ordered and could not finish the generous helpings. However, many take away boxes were provided for our use. As it is situated in a small shopping precinct parking is very easy, which is quite a bonus.

I have been visiting this local restaurant over the years and just recently started going back fairly regularly. It's an unprepossing place in a local parade of shops but it provides good food at very reasonable prices with excellent service. It's staff are Bangladeshi really. The food is pretty standard with just a few speciality dishes, but is always fresh, tasty attractively presentedand there is plenty of it. Draw up in the car park and walk towards the door and it will swing open and you will be welcomed by a beaming member of staff. The hot dishes are nicely hot, a Jalfrezi is great. On Wednesday evening they have a special deal £10.95 buys you any starter, any main (King Prawn is extra), rice or Nan, a side dish and a coffee. With a beer and some puppadoms you will have an excellent meal for two for £30 or SoHo. Personally I always give a hefty tip because the staff are so nice, attentive and efficient. This restaurant has been run by the same guy for 18 years. There are all the touches you would expect from a decent restaurant, hot towels, a chocolate with your coffee and they always see you off with a smile. A great little restaurant in Emmer Green.

The Raj has the best Indian food around! The service is excellent and the staff are so accommodating and go out of their way to help you. They have an excellent menu and do takeaways and deliveries straight to your door which is always great.

The Raj is our local Indian and offers good food at reasonable prices and also does takeaways.Sunday is buffet day at a special price of £7.50 per head and is well worth the visit. We have eaten here on a busy Friday night as part of a large group of people and the standard didn't suffer one bit.Worth a try.

I've visited the Raj on a couple of occasions and also had takeaway several times. The food is good with a wide range of dishes although having had a variety of different main courses I do feel that the sauces themselves are all very similar and don't have as much unique flavour as I've seen at other Indian restaurants. Their lamb meat can sometimes be a little on the chewy side.Starters are good, as is naan and their rice and poppadums.Service is courteous but sometimes a little short, but this could be because the restaurant is quite small and often busy.Prices are good with most main courses around the £8 to £9 mark

Ive been to this restaurant on numerous occasions and most recently for my 50th birthday with my family. They accommodate your tastes specially - even if it's not on the menu. Service great, consistent and food is great. This place is wonderful and they really do go the extra mile.

Asistí a una cena aquí, alrededor de 150 comensales, una pequeña barandilla de abrigo como guardarropa, pero el personal parecía amable, la sala principal estaba bien distribuida y los entrantes llegaron rápidamente, aunque el plato principal se mantuvo, así que teníamos verduras y papas en la mesa enfriándose mientras esperaban a que el cordero saliera de la cocina, peor aún eran las comidas vegetarianas, el entrante era una sopa de tomate con poppadoms, y el principal era un risotto de setas realmente malo. . . tan buen lugar, pero no la comida perfecta

No poppadoms no draught beer and cash only which we were only told at end of meal so had to go to cash machine to get cash.
