Raj Tandoori in City of London, Westminster

I´m always in love with tandoori chicken, and this one in Soho is ok. I will consider trying another dish next time

Gone the way of everything that was ever good in Soho. Previously a perfectly serviceable curry in a handy location, but tried to visit last night and it's boarded up, kaput, no more. Probably a jeans shop or a 'fashionable burger joint' by the time you read this. RIP Raj.

Este fue un lugar estupendo, muy cerca de donde estábamos, así que super bien. Fuimos en un tiempo y aunque no estaba muy ocupado, servicio parecía un poco lento ya que no estaba lleno, que tenía que esperar un poco. Pero la comida era genial!

2ª vez que hemos comido aquí sabores excepcionales. Pollo Tikka y gambas puré para empezar y pollo tandoori Tandoori principal king no gambas en el menú, pero al preguntar el personal servicial nos informó que podíamos hacer y qué gran plato lo mejor que he probado. Las verduras y arroz fantástico y el pan nan para que pensé que me iban a flote. Un pequeño restaurante en Soho, no entiendo por qué algunas críticas negativas. Volver cuando esté en Londres.

The popadom and pickles were delicious. The tandoori chicken starter was a bit a average. But the Rogan Josh and Pilau Rice were superb. Good service. Certainly not like the top end London Indian restaurants, but much better than average. Recommended

Sometimes, staying in London for a while and craving Indian food can be not so bad with a good mix of Indian restaurants available. The Vindaloo curry was the best that I have ever tasted, lovely Traditional Vindaloo Curry, Tandoori King Prawns tasty full of flavour with fantastic white onions. Biryani was excellent and spicy.

Took dinner at this restaurant this evening having been coming here for many years - albeit as I live in Singapore not so frequently nowadays. We were greater like family and felt a true and hearty welcome. Ordered a lamb biriani which was excellent - far too large for me, and a side order of peas and cheese. Excellent quality, served nice and hot and a complimentary drink for no doubt our continued patronage. This is a very friendly restaurant which I would highly recommend.

Accueil chaleureux. Cuisine fine et très parfumée. Prix très raisonnables pour Londres. Bien situé : Quartier Soho

After some shopping in Oxford Street, 3 of us went in search for a Indian restaurant near oxford street. We visited the restaurant on 17th October 2017. We wanted a restaurant that wasn't a typical chain type restaurant. The atmosphere was nice, there was a few other people there and the music at the background did make nice ambience. I ordered Tandoori Chicken with naan, and a Chicken Biryani The Tandoori chicken was really nice and authentic, the chicken piece was really big and tender and not oily. The Naan bread that accompanies the tandoori chicken, is thick and really soft, This is exactly how both of these should be. The chicken biryani was absolutely amazing, I will definitely go back for this. Overall, I can say that the food and customer service was good, the place is a gem in Soho. I will recommend this place if your looking for a authentic indian food experience.

I stumbled upon this cosy restaurant in the midst of soho amongst streets and streets of hipster restaurants. Everywhere else was crowded but this place was empty. I decided to go with my gut and didn't regret it. The food was lovely and spicy, delicious chana masala and saag paneer. As soon as I'd entered, many others followed. Despite recent reviews I noticed on here, this place is tasty, cheap for central London and independent. The customer service wasn't great but no problem, I'd go back here in a shot when I'm next in the area.

I visited this restaurant with two friends who fancied an 'Indian', We almost walked out as the greeting was so unfriendly. I ordered a poppadum which came plain, extras are charged for - be warned! As we had eaten a late lunch, we ordered a selection of vegetable side dishes - there are no decent veggie options on the main menu except vegetable biryani - rather than mains which was commented on and the service got even more cursory. The brinjal bhaji was actually quite nice. If you can, avoid the loo - at the top of the stairs - I came down trying not to touch anything.

I went here with a friend on 12/10/2017 for lunch. A few red flags should’ve warned us to stay away from it, much to our own detriment. The place was empty. The ambience was lacking. The waiter was unenthusiastic and did not to care. Despite all this I thought the tripadvisor (very misleading!) mark of quality posted out the door would sway my thoughts. I ordered a starter, main, rice and naan bread. While the food portions were small, the real offender was the appalling quality. I have tried a number of authentic Indian restaurants before and never have I tasted anything so bland in my life. The food was obviously leftovers from a few nights ago and re-microwaved to warm up. To rate this 4/5 stars would be akin to awarding McDonald’s 3* in the Michelin guide. I cannot stress how disgusting this was; fried rat droppings would taste better than this. I don’t bother writing reviews unless something is clearly out-of-line, and this was hands down the worst place I have ever eaten in London. Stay away! You have been warned!

I want people out there to be educated in relation to this restaurant from someone who does eat and enjoy's high quality Indian food.... From the quality of the food to presentation to the service at hand, this restaurant is absolutely terrible, and I made a grave mistake to enter the premises on 12 October 2017. My friend's meal looked and 'tasted' like it had been microwaved - using ingredients prepared many days ago. The paneer (cottage cheese) that I had was so rubber like and foul that i managed a piece. The paratha equally so. The waiter came over and took back the dishes without asking or understanding why i had decided to leave 95% of the meal I had purchased. To conclude, I am genuinely looking out for you the customers out there - do not waste your time or money in coming to this place.

Wanted a fairly traditional "curry house" meal in the evening. The place was deserted when we arrived, and there are lots of trendier/more modern restaurants all around in Soho, so not surprising that people walk by. But the staff were friendly and helpful and the food, whilst nothing special, was all well-cooked and perfectly fine. Got busier, not surprisingly, with people coming from the pub. It's that sort of place.

Accommodated 16 lads for starters mains and drinks. The food came out together hot and was delicious. Everyone was very full afterwards. The price was amazing for the amount of food. On the whole this place is great and I'd recommend it. 5 stars

siamo già stati diverse volte in questo ristorante indiano,molto buono,pollo tikka ,polpettine di formaggio con spinaci ,riso e pane indiano anche all'aglio.consigliato decisamente

I've eaten an excellent chicken byriaki, with a chilled Cobra beer. Everything gorgeous. Best Indian food I've ever tried.

Todo buenísimo, el trato correcto .Servicio rápido. Ningún pero. Todo buenísimo. Un poco escaso, mucha salsa y poca chicha.Volvería seguro.

We had a lovely meal here, & were so grateful to find this peaceful retreat - so close to the hustle & bustle of Oxford Street & nearby Soho.It's a very cosy restaurant where we were given a very warm welcome, & immediately felt at home. There's an excellent menu to suit every taste, & the food was well-prepared, tasty & prompt.There's a very homely ambience too, with authentic Indian music in the background - & we had a nice table by the window where we could watch the world go by outside.All in all, a very good experience, & a restaurant that outstrips many others nearby which seem to be run by faceless chains.Highly recommended, & very reasonably priced too.

I originally went out for lunch, which ran on a bit, so needed a bit of grub later in the evening. One of the group had been to this place many times before so led from the front (Pied Piper of food style) and took us to the Raj. The staff here are very friendly and can't do enough to make sure you enjoy yourself. Drinks arrived right away along with a pile of poppadoms and the requisite relishes. I was recommended the tandoori king prawns (not on the menu but don't let that stop you!) and they were fabulous. Piles of flavour helped along with a Cobra! I tucked in on a little shashlik chicken, Bombay potato, some rice and loved it all. I dipped my peshwari naan into some korma sauce and the experience was complete. It doesn't look much from outside and the decor is a bit tired but it makes up for this with a lovely atmosphere and fabulous food. At about £25 per head it is decent value, and sure there is better in this part of town, but if you need an impromptu curry this place won't disappoint.

No es primera vez que visito este local y la razon es muy simple, es riquisimo y dentro de la gama economica.La comida deliciosa y abundante, el personal amable y la atencion rapida, todo cerca de la concurridisima Oxford Circus.Muy recomendable, volvere a visitarlo sin duda!

We were seven but they arranged a table for us and we could directly seat. The place was small, cosy and calm and the service was very fast. The food was delicious and not too spicy. We ordered chicken curry, butter chicken, lamb massala, rice and naan and everything was delicious. And because we were a majority of students they offered us 10% on the bill. The only thing maybe is the bathroom which was a bit too dirty. So I (we) totally recommend it even with a small budget.

First time in an indian retaurant for my mum, she loved it (even it was to spicy for her). Nice restaurant, with a very nice service. The owner came to talk to us very friendly because we were speaking spanish. Very nice evening.

Been to Raj Tandoori a number of times now, and it's 'nice', without being mind-blowing. It's in an excellent location, right in the heart of town, and the prices aren't ridiculous. Was £20 a head when we split out bill. Menu is good. Not too complicated, and everything is explained for those who don't know what to order. I went for an aubergine dish, which was a dry-ish curry. Ate the whole lot and was pretty nice - but the pilau rice I ordered was a little tasteless, and the aubergine was a bit overdone. Recommend getting Naan instead of rice. Could have done with a bit more flavour. I had bits and pieces of others' food. Lentil dish was very nice as was Saag Aloo, but it really didn't stand out compared to other Indians. If you're in the area it's worth going, but don't go out your way. The restaurant itself is a bit run down. Very small and cramped, and it looks like it was last done up in the mid 1990s.Staff were very friendly and attentive, and service was in general pretty quick. It's a nice place to eat but not much more than that.

We were unable to get in at another Indian restaurant we had planned to visit so we googled the nearest Indian and found this place. Granted it's not very appealing from the outside and I would never think to go here, I would just walk past in any other circumstance but couldn't knock the food. We were served in good time all the food was hot and very flavoursome. Portion sizes just right. Bit disappointed with the garlic nan, quite dry and small but overall we were impressed. The toilets were very off putting but clean so can't complain. Could seriously do with a change in decor and some refurb upstairs. Decent price too in comparison to other Indians nearby.

Siempre que viajamos vamos a un indú y este en concreto nos ha gustado mucho.A destacar el arroz y el cordero massala. El kebab era muy bueno también.Muy recomendable y poco concurrido.Estupendo.

I would definitely recommend this on the Tastecard deal. Two starters and mains for the price of one. The food did not reinvent the wheel but was very good- decent portions, fragrant curries and tender meat. The setting was a bit drab and the waiters did not come across as very welcoming. However, once we got speaking to them they seemed nice. I believe they were just a bit shy and perhaps not that comfortable with speaking English.

We popped into the place because we were in the area. The staff was very nice and the place has a good location. The food is unfortunately just average. I've eaten a lot of Indian food and this was a ltasteless. Even if there were few customers in the restaurant,I felt the food was pre-prepared and just warmed up.I will not come back...

I picked this place because it was on the tastecard list of restaurants, no other reason than this and I won't be going back, not because I had an awful experience or terrible food but just because there are better places to eat than here. The look of the restaurant isn't very appealing and the bathrooms are awful. The food was ok, I had the Lamb Dupiaja (lamb in gravy), not strong in taste or flavour but maybe that's just how it's meant to be. Unfortunately you can't use the tastecard here in December, which I didn't realise until I asked for the bill so ended up being a bit of a disappointment.

Worst experience ever. Old man's attitude was surprising. Reluctant to serve drinks, said he cant serve drinks before food. When we were ordering food he said no to most of the dishes and was trying not to take the order. Finally I asked him whether you want to serve us or shall we leave. He snatched the menu from our hands and asked us to leave the restaurant. I was there with my 7 year old son, my in laws and pregnant wife to see such an insulting behaviour.He should close the business. I feel disgusted & insulted by the man & other staff members.

We stumbled upon Raj during our 2 night stay in Soho and the food was so amazing we ate here both nights. The restaurant is tiny and crowded but we managed to get a table without issue both nights. The service is quite slow (think 45+ minutes to get your food) but well worth the wait. Some of the best dal I've ever had! Will go back next time we're in London.

A friend and I went there on tastecard. One of the waiter's attitude was poor right from the get-go. Anyway, we specifically highlighted that we were going to order two main dishes each, taking advantage of the tastecard 2 for 1 deal. I personally made it clear we wanted to pay for two courses only because of that deal. Food came, very average. Final bill- they only took off one dish. We got into a rather unpleasant argument and I gave up in the end. I seriously would not recommend the place.Food- averagePortion- Average to smallService- Very poorAmbience- Very poor. Very crampedBy the way, if you want to be a tastecard restaurant, do it properly. Don't reinvent rules. And with such crappy attitude and the poor/ borderline dirty condition, you are lucky I have given you two stars

Samstag Nachmittags unkompliziertes Essen mit Familie in kleinem indischen Restaurant. Beide Kinder haben direkt ein Gericht auf der Karte gefunden das ihnen auch geschmeckt hat. Preiswertes Tagesgericht vollkommen in Ordnung. Bedienung war sehr freundlich und kommunikativ. Die Ruhe des Restaurants war angenehm nach dem Trubel in den Einkaufsstrassen von Soho. Im Vergleich zu den Preisen der in der Nähe befindlichen Restaurants war Preis/Leistung sehr gut. Die Mango Lassi kann ich empfehlen.

I come here every time I am in London, the quality of the food is great and the service very friendly and attentive.

We have been coming to this restaurant for years, whenever we're in London. The food is always excellent, and the service is friendly welcoming and fast. Favourite items are the onion bhajis.

Un restaurant sans prétention pour la décoration, mais très bien situé.Nous y sommes déjà allé et c'est toujours aussi bon. Le "house wine" est très agréable. Très bon butter chicken. Les prix sont vraiment peu élevé et compétence du service.Excellent rapport qualité prix

Midweek evening meal after drinks at The Village. My mate fancied a curry as his partner won't go for Indian meals. We had a couple of bottles of Cobra beer and they were ideal for the food. He had a prawn puri and I had the mixed starter. Both well prepared and fresh. For mains he had lamb Bhuna and I had chicken Salazar (?never had that before). All starter and main courses were well prepared in the traditional English tandoori restaurant style which was just what we were looking for. Neither of us have been to such a restaurant in London for a long time. They all seem to have gone boutique and have words like "cuisine" in the title which doesn't seem Indian to me at all. Attentive servers who know what they're doing. In fact no one came round to check if we were enjoying the meal BECAUSE THEY COULD TELL we were enjoying it without having to bother us by asking. Good value for the area and had a spicy tea. Coffee is "instant" so we went to The Kings Arms for a nightcap after that. Good honest fayre and on leaving I discovered one of the waiters lives two streets from me! How cool is that. Tipped over ten % and all were happy.

Loved the food, loved the service. All the ten of us - kids and grownups - were very happy with the food as well as with the service. But amazing! , but really good

The price is very cheap for soho and the staff I super nice. Great ambiance and we got popadoms and baileys on the House. Delicious food as well. Highly recommended!!!

Family stopped here for lunch and had the chicken tikka,shear kebab and mixed grill of which all were excellent together with popodoms and some fantastic dips. Main courses were lamb and chicken curry's of which the lamb was so tender you did not require a knife to cut it. Also had a king prawn massala that was out of this world. The nan breads were fresh and very light together with various choices of vegetables recommend by the owner. Will definitely be going back again to sample more of the dishes on the menu.

We came here as the Maharani had closed. The staff are so friendly, the food is outstanding. Best Bangladeshi/Indian food I have had in the UK. Excellent vegetarian menu. I can't fault it. Best Indian Restaurant in the UK. A hidden gem. And, the owner shares some good cooking tips! Thank you!

I've been going to this Indian restaurant for so many years now. Last night was no exception when I arrived back in London.Returning customers get treated like old friends. The restaurant is unpretentious and welcoming. The food is extremely good quality and the waiters very attentive. Last night I choose to have chicken tikka for starters, and the lamb biryani for the main course. Succulent and flavoursome.It's a small restaurant, but you can call and make a reservation. If you happen to turn up and it's full, you may give the waiter your telephone number and he will call you when a table becomes available. Plenty of bars nearby to wait in. My favourite Indian restaurant in all of London. A must on every visit.

There are several Indian restaurants in this area of Soho and we struck gold with this one. The service is very friendly and quick. The food was delicious - for me the chicken dupaiza was the favourite. This seems to be a restaurant that has "regulars" who were greeted like family - it certainly made me want to visit again and the next time I am in Soho I will definitely be going in.

This is a really small place Food is good, prices fair.i would certainly eat there again.There are lots of competitors in the area, so i'm sure that keeps the quality up

This restaurant has been open since 1968. It's a wonderful Indian restaurant where the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend eating here.I ordered a lamb madras and my friend ordered a chicken Dansak.A reasonable price as well.

Found this place by accident whilst wandering around London and what a great little find it was. From the outside it doesn't look anything special and the decor is plain and a little dated but it feels relaxed and comfortable, a there was a friendly welcome from the staff. Service was attentive but not too fussy from the start, with drinks and starters. The menu offers a great choice and isn't filled with fancy over-elaborate dishes, it.s just a good original Indian menu. When the food arrived it was served good and hot and tasted really good. Quantity was every bit as good as the quality.So to summarise looks can be deceiving. It might not look great from the outside but it's well worth a visits as the staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was really tasty. Price was good value for money so once inside a winner alround.Would I recommend The Raj Tandoori? Most definitely

Food was uninspiring, to say the least. Curry in very runny sauce, which had the distinct taste of 'curry spices from a jar' about it.The food wasn't 'bad', per se. Just a bit... 'something-of-nothing'. Staff worth mentioning, as the waiter was incredibly friendly.I'd go back if I was on Berwick Street, and so desperate for a curry in that second that I was unable to find a different curry house in Soho to try.

Nous avons dîné un samedi soir entre amis dans ce restaurant. Le repas fut moyen, le Cheesenan ne ressemble pas au Cheesenan des autres restaurant(fromage râpé déçu) et l'agneau shaikorma non plus... Bref nous avons été déçu. Personnel aimable.Ce n'est pas le meilleurs restaurant indien ou j'ai mangé.

Tout est dans le titre ... Les plats sont corrects mais le serveur attendait à peine que nous ayons fini pour enlever nos assiettes (alors qu'il n'y avait pas trop de monde). C'est le seul restaurant de Londres où nous avons trouvé un comportement un peu limite ... Dommage

Good service and straight down the line food. Reminds me of the old days...standard menu...nothing adventurous but tasty. Complimentary drinks were offered which was nice!

Great welcome from all the staff. Everything was amazing and really taste. We tried different kind of chicken and all of them were fantastic! Really recommended.

I used to get takeaway from here when I lived nearby. The good here is great and after going back 4 years later it's still as amazing as it was then.Price wise for central London it's very reasonable and you won't be disappointed either.

The food was uninspiring. I found it bland, and lacking in flavour with minimal meat. I notice other reviews have said small portion sizes. I found the portion sizes to be perfectly fine for the price and location so no complaints there. I eat a lot and was very full when I left!The staff were very friendly, attentive, and efficient. I cannot fault them.The interior was a bit shabby, dark, and without good lighting. It certainly needs a bit of a 'freshen up'. I was the only diner so there wasn't much of an 'atmosphere' to comment on.The toilets I found quite worrisome - they are located outside of the restaurant on the top floor. So, you must exit the restaurant and do a quick turn, and go up some steep stairs of the building that are in a very poor state of repair (damaged, old, and dirty). Here you will find a tiny toilet that is equally as rickety and dirty. I am surprised it is allowed, if I'm honest. Which is why, whilst writing this review, I decided to check the restaurant's food hygiene rating by Environmental Health. They have scored extremely low with a '1' rating with "major improvements necessary". And this was just recently carried during the month of March.I am disappointed to have to rate this place so low given that the staff member who served me was so lovely but I'm afraid I can't.

The food was very good, as well as the customer service. They were very helpful in identifying which dishes are (very) spicy - which was very convenient for our friends who never had Indian food before!

Man kan inte annat än uttrycka en stor besvikelse!Maten var smaklös, man kan t.o.m undra om det var chili i maten och små portioner!Men det värsta var att se hur dom behandlar porslinet man äter på och hur dom diskar glasen, om man nu kan kalla det diskning när dom bara sköljer ur glaset och sedan torkar!!Absolut inget ställe man besöker 2 gånger, och man kan fundera hur denna restaurang får bra betyg via TripAdvisor??

The food was good, as well as the customer service. However, the portions are rather small compared to what you pay, so I won't exactly say it is good value for money.

Eenvoudig restaurant met lekkere keuken. Er wordt verwittigd wat heel pikant is op de gerechtenkaart wat een pluspunt is.

Wir waren mittags da und haben ein Menü und einmal ein Butter Chicken alla carte bestellt. Schon der Service war lustlos! Die Linsensuppe war wohl Wasser mit ein wenig Curcuma und Linsen, einfach geschmacklos. Zum übrigen Essen: die Porzionen waren winzig und kaum gewürzt. Es war einfach alles fad und geschmacklos, kein Wunder, denn wir sahen zwischendurch den Koch und er hatte alle Gewürze auf seiner Kochjacke. In jeder Kantine würde es besser schmecken! Nicht einmal der Wunsch nach mehr schärfe wurde erfüllt. Das Lassi war nur

En fin, liten indisk restaurant. Reint, hyggelig personale og god mat. Delte en komborett med damen, og vi ble ikke skuffa. Mye god mat. Vil absolutt anbefale folk å spise her.

Maybe I am just not just used to London prices but the size of the rice and bread servings for the price were very disappointing. We just drank tap water which kept our bill to about GBP20 for 2 people for 2 mains (1 vegetarian), rice and bread. Should of been enough food but serves were tiny so i was still hungry. Food pretty bland, appeared to be frozen peas, lacked flavour.

Having been looking forward to a good curry all afternoon I was sorely disappointed at this restaurant. The food was cheap 'take-out' quality, salty and incredible small portions were served up. Serving of rice supposedly for two was clearly for one and same with the nan bread. Hardly any meat in the dishes and the drinks are over priced even for Soho.I left feeling ripped off and still hungry. I won't be coming back here again that's for sure.

I came here with my partner on a Sunday evening for dinner. The food was average but what really let it down was the size of the portions. I have never left an Indian restaurant so hungry!I ordered a baileys at £4.65 and the waiter presented me with 25ml! I definitely will not be returning.

Have eaten in this restaurant many times. Nice friendly staff and the food is tasty. The Lamb Bhuna and chicken jalfrezi are my favourites.

Ambiente intimista, às vezes um pouco apertado!Serviço muito atencioso e simpático.Comidas muito típicas, saborosas e, na maioria, apimentadas!!! Quem não aprecia pimenta deve ficar bem atento ao pedido!!!

Die Bedienung war sehr unmotiviert und kein guter Ansprechpartner. Das Essen hat geschmeckt und war bezahlbar. Dennoch sollte man dieses Restaurant mit wenigen Erwartungen besuch um nicht enttäuscht zu werden.

Is not easy to get good curry , this restaurant must be one off the best. For travellers they have special lunch offer £6.95 for 2 courses and they are absolutely fabulous!!!

We ordered the saag paneer and the chicken tikka masala with plain rice and garlic naan. It was a bit different than what we are used to. The naan was great and the tikka masala was ok, but I really didn't care for the saag paneer. However, my friend really liked everything. So, it's a matter of taste! Beware op that the drink are a little pricey. Service was very friendly.

My husband and I have been regular visitors to this restaurant since the early 70s when we both worked in London, as youngsters and when Berwick Street was far less salubrious than it now is :)It used to be called the Islamabad and has always been owned by the same family who run it with love and care.It's great to visit and old favourite, when back in London, to find that it is still as good as ever. The owner still recognises us and makes a fuss of us even after a couple of years' absence. Makes us feel very good; but, of course our expectations are still very high. Again we were not disappointed.This excellent Indian restaurant has always been popular with local residents and office workers in the area. It is always pretty busy but particularly in the early evening, when people pop in with friends after a day at the office. Tourists will not be disappointed either; it's well worth a visit.We particularly enjoy the Rogan Josh, the Chicken Dopiaza and the aloo gobi; however all food on the menu is very good indeed. White cloth napkins and table cloths have always been a nice touch!

C'est un petit restaurant qui ne paye pas de mine mais l'accueil y est très bien et la cuisine très bonne. Je l'avais recommandé à des membres de ma famille en voyage à Londres, ils y ont été et le restaurant était tellement touché qu'ils leurs ont offert le dessert.

You'll get warm hospitality here as well as the best curry in London! I attend less than once a year but they always remember us and the food is always sublime. Worth travelling for!

O atendimento simpa´tico fez a diferença, pois estávamos passando e voltamos para comer típico indiano bem pcante mesmo, mas muito saborosa.

This is a nice and unpretentious little Indian restaurant.The owners are very friendly and welcoming and the food there is delicious.I'm used to spicy food, but when they tell you that the Chicken Vindaloo is spicy, take it for granted.

Had lunch with a group of friends, food was excellent, service superb, atmosphere great and best of all wonderful value for money. I'm almost frightened to return as my experience was so good.

The best Vindaloo curry that I have ever tasted, lovely Traditional Vindaloo Curry, Tandoori King Prawns tasty full of flavour with fantastic white onions. Pilau rice excellent. Poppadums. Fresh. Best poppadums ever. They do the best Indian cuisine ever. I am glad I tried Raj Tandoori. I am very happy. All. The staff are nice and polite. I will visit this restaurant regularly a few times a week. And Definitely recommend to friends and family. This is the restaurant with best Indian cuisine.

My daughter and I wanted to try Indian food in London and discovered this small Indian Restaurant in Soho. The restaurant was quite busy and we only wanted takeaway. the staff were very friendly and helpful. It is not the best Indian we have had but it was quite tasty and plentiful and reasonable price by London standards.

This was a small but very nice indian rest. We managed to get a nice meal without choosing anything ourselves. The staff was very helpul with the food.

This place advertises a £6.50 set lunch with sides and rice, so naturally I decided to try it since that's a pretty good deal for Soho. When the meal came, however, I was very disappointed to find just 4 small pieces of lamb in my madras - I had to order another full curry because I was still hungry.2 stars for bad advertising, though the food was alright.

Dined there 30th August.My wife's chicken tikka massala was brown instead of bright red and my chicken biryani was nearly vegetarian it had so little chicken in it.The spoonful of veg curry to accompany it was disgusting.All in all not very good at all.

Have been eating here for many years and never had a bad meal. There is a meal for everyone here including halal and vegetarians - great selection.Staff always greet returning diners with a warm welcome. Restaurant sometimes get busy later in the evening so maybe best to book in advance, otherwise turn up and if they are busy ask them to call you when they have a free table and go have a beer in a nearby bar.Guests are usually served a complimentary popadom on arrival and given the menu which is extensive. Includes a chefs special selection and Achari Gosht is my favorite. All portions are generous so be care on the number of side dishes you order. Full of flavour and cooked to perfection. Very nice restaurant in the heart of Soho. Reasonably priced - fantastic service. Even if I stay in other parts of London I often pass ten or more Indian restaurants to reach this one - but the journey is always worth it,Keep up the good work!!! True welcome and fine hospitality!

What a great little family run restaurant. My wife and I had a fantastic meal here,prawn pattia & chicken tikka for starters & lamb together with king prawns and mushroom rice with lady's fingers and potatoes. Good value for money and very relaxed atmosphere, we will certainly be back to try other item's on the menu.

We have now lunched twice at this very pleasant Indian restaurant and have thoroughly enjoyed our meals both times. It is within a few minutes walk of Oxford Circus and a relaxing place to eat a meal and rest during a busy shopping day.There is a good selection of meals varying from mild to hot and including plenty of options for a vegetarian. I particularly enjoyed the butter chicken. All the hot items are freshly prepared, swiftly produced and a good size. We were hungry and found that a shared starter. One main, two vegetable sides and a single rice and naan was more than we could finish. We did, however, find room for a kulfi each for dessert – the desserts were all of the readymade ice cream variety but nevertheless good. The total cost for the two of us was just under £40.We have every intention of going back to this restaurant on our next shopping trip to London as the friendly, efficient service, good food and convenient position make it ideal for us. The only possible disadvantage might be that the toilets were upstairs which would be a problem if you had walking difficulty.

Stopped by after a day of shopping. Decent Indian food just off main shopping avenue. Very small, family-run operation.

Pedimos un menú degustación que hay para dos personas de 39£ y muy abudnante y muy rico (sin bebida). Nos sobró bastante comida pero al final la cuenta ascendió a 50£ porque no habíamos tenido en cuenta los impuestos. Aún así nos parecio que mereció la pena.

Very nice food and good service. Perfectly located off main shopping streets and soho. Had a nice lunch offer.

Fantastic traditional Indian restaurant. Very welcoming, and exceptional value given the location. The service is superb, and the food excellent. Cannot fault it, will be going back.

Subito cercavamo il libanese a fianco, ma poi abbiamo preferito venire qui. Nonostante fossero quasi le 4pm siamo riusciti a ordinare il lunch menù. Con 6,95£ abbiamo mangiato a sufficienza, senza patire. Peccato che il bere, carissimo e a parte.... una bibita o una bottiglietta piccola di acqua (333 ml) 2,75£Per le mie tasche improponibile se a prezzo pieno, ma non ho parametri di riferimento né con l'Italia né tantomeno con Londra

Excellent choice of place , we just walked in off the street as it was a cold night. The food was great service was also fast and the food was freshly cooked . Excellent price as well

Looks basic from the street but go in and give it a try. This place obviously has not been tempted to have botox to make it appear 21st century! Still simple with no fancy decor, but fantastic food that hits all the right spots. Expected to find it packed on a Thursday night around 8/8.30, but managed to get a table immediately with friendly and efficient service. The bill wasn't too bad, either!

We went here for lunch during our trip to London and I was kind of disappointed. I like Indian food, but this was below my expectations. The food was average, the service was not so good and the prices were quite high.For sure it was not good value for money.Would not recommend it.

Var på denne indiske restauranten i Soho sammen med min 16 år gamle sønn. Brukte anbefalingene som lå på TripAdvisor for dette stedet. Servicen var veldig bra. Tradisjonel indisk mat. Jeg tok en rett etter anbefaling som skulle være sterk, men jeg opplevde ikke det som noe problem. Maten holdt bra kvalitet og den kom raskt på bordet. Fin atmosfære i lokalet. Toaletter på slike små steder er av varierende kvalitet og her lå det i 2 etg opp en smal trapp, ikke spesielt innbydende. Anbefaler stedet pga av mat og fin pris.

I started visiting the Raj with work colleagues after meetings, and have since taken friends there too, as the food is always good, and the welcome is always warm. This is a hidden gem, and whilst it may not look much from outside, it is a real hidden gem. The prawn puri is my own personal favourite dish, closely followed by the murgh tikka bhuna.

This is a little gem of a restaurant. Situated just a short walk from Oxford St. Food was really tasty, service from the staff was brilliant. Would visit here again whenever I'm in the area!

I'm really into Indian food, so everywhere I go in the world, I look out for Indian food. This is my favorite. It's not fancy looking but the food is always perfect for me. I have tried many different dishes and was never disappointed. Friendly but rather shy personal.

We fancied a standard Indian rather than all the fancy dishes at most of the other Indians in the vicinity we found the food was good the atmosphere was ok but the service was a little lacking this may just have been because it was a Sunday evening or maybe it is always like this, we enjoyed out food but found it to be a bit pricey although in London I guess it was standard pricing just felt a bit much when I have had better meals cheaper in my local Indian where the service is fantastic but that's just my opinion. I would say its worth trying if ou don't fancy something all fancy but just a standard meal

I always visit this place when I'm in the vicinity. The restaurant is small and tired looking but the food and atmosphere make up for this! The staff are very friendly and make you feel at home. Also the location is bang in the middle of Soho, so very handy indeed. All the dishes I've tried at Raj Tandoori have never disappointed. I enjoy going back there again and again.

Don't expect anything special, but at £7.99 for a starter, a main and bread or rice you can't go too far wrong. I had the onion bhajis and normal chicken curry with rice. The bhajis are golf ball size and are served with lemon. The chicken curry itself was a reasonable size, certainly enough for one person. Chicken was well cooked and the sauce was a chocolatey brown. Spicy but not too hot. The rice was ok and was served with a few bits of friend onion on the top.The lager is where they get you I guess, I had a bottle of Cobra which I think was over £5. One member of staff on duty but as we were the only people in there on Valentines day, it was plenty enough. He was friendly and chatty but not pushy. I explained that we would like both courses together as we were a bit pushed for time before a show. This was no problem and he ad the bill ready for us when it was time to go.Decor is drab, music was polite and unintrusive. Would recommend for a rapid, pre-show meal. Nothing showy or fancy, it is what it is.
