Raja Indian Cuisine in Cambridge

Small and quiet but nice atmosphere, butter chicken curry and the house chutneys are great. The staff and friendly and can have a laugh. Price isn’t bad either.

Amazing service. Amazing Food. Amazing People!

Great place. Not too big so attentive service. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food is terrific and good value . If you try just one thing it has to be the fuchka.. never had it before but it's one of the best things I've ever eaten.

Very friendly staff, helpful, communicative. Find out what you eat and ask specifically how spicy you want to eat

I’m still sitting in the restaurant after 9 hours it’s so good. Make sure you order the vegetable madras with 6.4 cobras 🐍

I wanted to like it after I saw it advertised in a food blog, but it needs improvement. A bit inconvenient that they close almost mid lunch so can't get served or Service feels rushed. Closing at 2pm... A bit early, I think. The thali, is advertised as a 7 item dish but I say it is more like 3-4 small portion items with a few extras. Poppadoms are not even a starter in my opinion so, this is not worth the price. Taste was OK, not sure I will rush to go back.

Phenomenal food quick delivery massive portions... do I need say more

Great food, great prices, great banter with the waitresses

Absolutely lovely, delicious meal, friendly staff. Highly recommend 5*. You really won’t be disappointed. The Kashmir lamb hit the spot!

Everything was amazing, service was greatt . I absolutely loved itttttt. Would recommend to everyone pluss no hidden charges.

excellent service good food, comfortable environment recommend strongly!!!!!!!! Very good tasteful! Love it very much!

Have been a few times and it is always excellent. Great service and delicious food! I had the Tiffin and loved the curry and the black daal.

I was lured in by the delicious smells and happy diners. Warmly welcomed and quickly served a glass of delicious wine and a sensational vegetarian curry. Reader, if you are in Cambridge don't miss this treat!

came here for a leaving meal with some friends who had been before. Have to say this is incredible highly recommend. Staff super friendly and helpful

Good food, good wine! No complaints

Fabulous food, well presented. Probably the best Indian restaurant in Cambridge and the surrounding area. A must👍

Wonderful Indian cuisine, with enough spice to tickle your tastebuds, important for Malaysian 😊 the Briyani was nice as well as the butter chicken.

Absolutely recommended!! Visiting Cambridge and stumbled across this little jewel. A chap coming out of the restaurant highly recommended the Fuchka and we weren't disappointed. Everything we chose was absolutely delicious. A wonderful meal, reasonably priced (and we're from the north!) that will be remembered for years to come. Staff were very welcoming and couldn't be more helpful.

We are delighted to have discovered this restaurant - the food is so good, and the staff super friendly and efficient. I have a hard time with spice, and all the dishes can be made mild with no trouble. I haven't seen some of the dishes in any other Indian restaurant - and they are all good! The decor is lovely as well - very airy and our group didn't feel crowded at all.

Great food and great service from Nima. Highly recommend the Aubergine Lamb

Royalty like service and excellent food with a relaxing atmosphere. Would highly recommend especially. I ordered the Raja Grill, desi loaded fries and mango lassi

Beautiful place with amazing food and lovely staff. Can definitely recommend 👌🏽

Daal and rice were amazing, lovely naans. Very affordable (side dishes are enough for a lunch with rice)

Some of the best Indian food I’ve had in England, the service is great and they give you great extras like pre meal chips and sauce and post meal sweets. Would recommend to anyone in the area

the food was outstanding ready on time and 5 stars the service was even better. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you for looking after us. Thanks Cambridge Fire Station red watch

A very nice restaurant if you’re into traditional Indian kitchen! We thoroughly enjoyed our food!

Awesome food and very friendly service.

Probably my favourite restaurant in Cambridge. Raja low key slaps. Incredible selection of gluten and dairy free. The Afghani lamb is an absolute treat that takes you on a journey through time and space. Pair this with a few onion bhaji and chicken pakora, and you will find yourself in a place of utter happiness. Raja’s are absolutely delightful, and I really enjoy chatting with them whenever I come in

Can’t fault it! The food was incredible, best authentic Indian I’ve ever had, and to top it off the service was excellent! Already recommended to family and would highly recommend to anyone who loves Indian cuisine! Thank you:)

Team adjusted us without any pre-booking! They are amazing team with fantastic food taste! Recommended for those visit in Cambridge!

Raja is amazing. It's definitely one of my favourite restaurants in Cambridge, I keep coming back. The service is fantastic; they are so obliging to modify dishes, especially to be gluten and dairy free. The food is exceptional. I have been making my way through the menu, and yet to find something that's not delicious. Take away from Raja is also great, but nothing beats eating at the restuarant.

Raja is a very sweet/welcoming restauranteur; the butter chicken, nan bread and prawn dishes, were fabulous.

I love this quaint adorable place that resembles a vintage train station and has the best Indian food in town! The owner is also such a lovely welcoming and friendly person! It’s a must try if you’re in the Cambridge area!

Brilliant atmosphere, delicious food, excellent service.

My favorite Indian restaurant in Cambridge - never had a bad dish here

Amazing food, amazing service. We will be back soon. 5 star services

Modern interpretation of an indian restaurant. Great food, nice an pleasant staff

Fantastic food and service, truly our favorite in Cambridge!

Wonderful, as always. Been coming here for years. The best!

Great food and fun people. Family run business, very loud guests on our particular visit, but overall good.

I booked a table for a conference dinner, we had a fantastic time, the staff was super friendly and helpful and accommodate all our needs. Food was great too! My favourite were the onion bhaji!

Absolutely perfect food and service. Si is THE best!

Excellent service and great authentic food. Enjoyed every mouthful. Very mixed menu with loads of options from the traditional to the more regional.

Thank you to our dear friends at the Raja! We have been coming here for many years and we have always been looked after exceptionally well. The food is first-class, the staff are so friendly and the space is perfect. We hope to come back for many years! - Jack (The King’s Men, Cambridge)

We’ve been coming to the Raja for years and absolutely love it — the staff are very friendly and accommodating and always provide great service and a chat, and the food is excellent. I particularly like the Mother India and the range of starters, and all of the classic curries are great quality as well. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish and it’s a great place to book for a special occasion such as a birthday.

Great food, atmosphere & service 😍 loved the butter chicken

Very nice!! Would definitely recommend!!!

One of the worst experiences ever. The samosa was burnt at first. Then the food portions we ordered were not served all at once until we called the manager and said this is only for 4 people when we were 8 and we ordered 2 portions each one “serving 4 people”. Then later on the food we ordered was very simple and not tasty, and we got charged at first £63 for 2 dishes of lamb Biryani which actually came missing the side served with it (dhall) and on the menu it is for £13 something. How is it possible to get charged that much for 2 dishes that should be maximum £30-32. Similarly with the chicken Biryani that was not on the menu and we were never told that it wasn’t there when of our guests asked for it and it will be charged this amount, he decided to charge us £59 for it. Then the restaurant added other things we didn’t order in our bill. They changed the bill 3 times for us and went down from £272 to £180 due to so many mistakes. However, the manager raised his voice and shouted at me, and decided to talk my male friend instead of me saying he doesn’t want to argue with me as i was a female. I was like i am the one paying and this is absolutely unacceptable. He tried apologizing afterwards saying oh i want you to be a customer, forgive me. Anyway check your bill guys before paying, even though i do not recommend the place at all. Very unpleasant experience in front of my guests.

We have been coming to the Raja for years and they never disappoint. Service is always very polite and very quick, and the staff are lovely. Food is great with a variety of regular curries and a huge menu of specials. They even sponsored our football team and gave us free cake for a friend’s bday!

Wonderful restaurant, food was lovely. Recommend coming here, I will be back

We recently revisited Raja, an Indian restaurant that we hadn't been to since our uni years, and we are thrilled to report that it is still as phenomenal as we remembered. From the moment we sat down and started our meal with crispy, perfectly seasoned poppadoms, we knew we were in for a treat. The korma was nothing short of exquisite – creamy, rich, and bursting with flavor. Paired with their coconut rice, which was simply to die for, the combination made for an unforgettable dining experience. Every bite was a reminder of why this place has remained a favorite over the years. Without a doubt, Raja deserves a perfect 10/10.

Excellent food, especially the beef with fenugreek, portions are large! Wasn't keen on the poppadom deluxe but maybe that's just our taste. Couldn't fault it otherwise. Would definitely return / recommend.

A lovely family run Indian restaurant with great food, lovely service and a very pleasant atmosphere. The food is every bit as good as the famous Rusholme curry mile (sadly now largely defunct) if not better. We will definitely come here again.

Thank you for the tiny free cheesecake, but it would have been better if you’d sent the salad we paid for. Not the first time order has been short. ?!?

Friendly staff and amazing food

Been a regular for years and love this restaurant. On my last visit I was lucky enough to sample some new dishes that are being added to the menu which were delicious

Simple setting but the food is excellent. We rediscovered some Indian classics but with a twist and so subtle flavors. The stuffed naans were perfectly cooked (crispy outside still smooth inside) with excellent chutneys. The service was excellent inclusive of good advice and complementary dessert Our best indian experience for quite sometimes. Can only recommend Raja for all those reasons.

🇴🇲The food is beyond good I recommend visiting, the staff is great

We had a very nice time at Raja. Fantastic atmosphere, great tasting food. We booked table for four a few hours before arriving. Highly recommended.

Great food and atmosphere. Friendly staff.

The presentation of the food and service was good enough, but the food itself did not meet my expectations. Overall, it was a good experience. I recommend everyone to try this restaurant.

Wonderful place! I ordered curry and Tandoori Roti and both are very delicious. The restaurant also serves peppermint water. Will come back next time!

Ordered from here on the 1st May. Food previously had been good in previous order. This time mint and mango chutney were missing and my coconut rice had been replaced with onion rice. Not impressed at all, especially as i dont like onion rice so my curry had no rice for it to go with, surely these things should be checked before sending out. Order #4928 deliveroo.

An Indian restaurant with many delicious tikka and biryani varieties The restaurant is quiet and not crowded, and we must book before arriving Fast service and reasonable price

Bangladeshi restaurant unfortunately serves alcohol

My favorite Indian restaurant in Cambridge! Wonderful atmosphere, great service and better food!

Food was delicious. We enjoyed it. But we didn't have masala tea. Waitress told, that they doesn't have a masala tea, because owner went now to India. Probably he took with him a kettle 🤣

Very nice food and great service. We showed up a bit late in the evening but they served us anyway which was great. The atmosphere is good and everyone working there is very nice and helpful.

My colleagues and I swung by the Raja last night for a last-minute dinner, and it was a fantastic experience! Even though we hadn't booked beforehand, they were really accommodating and sat us down right away. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which created a great atmosphere. The menu at Raja is extensive, offering a wide variety of dishes. This made it easy for everyone to find something they enjoyed, regardless of their spice preference. Overall, it was a great night out, and I'd definitely recommend checking out the Raja if you're looking for delicious Indian food in Cambridge.

The service was great! Very friendly! The food was delicious! Authentic Indian food in a great restaurant!

We chose this restaurant on Tripadvisor and we were totally satisfied. The owner and the young wait person were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. They served a bottle of cold water with a very fresh mint stalk in it and it felt like a treat. The relishes were delicious. We ate a great meaI and the price was reasonable. We highly recommend.

It was such a delightful experience to have dinner at this very beautiful restaurant, the service was really good, the food was delicious and very authentically Eastern Indian, Thank you for a wonderful experience!

13 of us had a great evening at the Raja. The food was excellent. The staff were very attentive. Food recommendations from the staff were fantastic. We all had different types of meals so can’t individually recommend them but the feed back was that they were all lovely and tasty. Will definitely go back sooner than later. We liked the lay out and the metal plates to eat off, very traditional

Went to get some food supposed to be 25 percent off for takeaway was charged full price so was scammed and was told to pay as soon as

Was our first time in Cambridge, a very pleasant experience. Food was truly amazing. And service was great

We had the Thali. It was not too bad.

Really great food. The best food we had on our trip to Cambridge. Lovely small restaurant, great service and great value for money. Would recommend and go back if we’re on the area.

Amazing food. Great recommendations. Lovely staff. Have been here three times and left very happy every time. Will be back!

Fantastic food and service. Could not fault anything. It is very small so advisable to book. Will always choose this restaurant when visiting Cambridge.

Stunning in every way. The perfect Indian. Great individual menu, superb service and epic food. If I lived in Cambridge I would eat here every week.

Its a small Restaurant with great food and service. I can whole heartedly recommend the afghani lamb. I could've eaten a whole bathtubs worth. Its definetely in the mild side but is full of flavour

What a fantastic evening with a group of friends to celebrate a 60th birthday. Waiting staff ( 2 lovely young ladies) were super friendly and great fun. You should be really proud of them as they were so brilliant. Food was amazing- all 12 of us had something different and everyone loved it so that’s always a great sign of consistency. Thanks for looking after us and we look forward to coming back again

Wow I hope you’re hungry because the portions are big!!! Chicken dansak with onion rice and chips with green papadoms and free dip and it was absolutely amazing…. You have to try this one out guys I highly recommend it…..

Meal at Raja was spectacular! Celebrated a Friend’s Birthday there and they were superb in offering us free starters. The food was amazing, the staff is super attentive and it is honestly one of the best dining experiences in Cambridge.

The flavours are washed out, and the tandoori items are obviously cooked in a normal oven / grill and not a tandoor oven, a very disappointing lack of char on those. The gravy items fare better, maybe go with those. 1. samosa chaat - 6/10 2. meat platter - 5/10 (taste is for British, not Indian) (very mild, the coriander chutney is flat, the chicken they give is a pretty unimpressive breast piece) 3. afghani lamb - 8/10 mild but flavourful and cooked well, a star 4. garlic naan - 9/10, solid 5. tandoori chicken - 5/10 (absolutely no char, definitely not cooked in an actual tandoor oven)

We had a family meal - 7 of us. The food was really excellent, particularly the whole chicken, the thali and the mother India dish. The staff were very attentive and helpful. They were excellent with the kids. We will definitely be back. What a treat. Great decor and music too.

On Valentine’s Day I booked a table for me and my partner here , when we arrived the young lady was trying to speak to her boss about where we should be seated , her boss completely ignored her and took on a phone call instead and was prancing around the restaurant on the phone with the young lady chasing him and me and my partner was still stood by the door , we was ignored for about 10 minutes until the phone call then ended , he then walked over to us looked us both up and down like we where absolute rubbish , made us so uncomfortable how much of a disgusting look he gave both of us and then went on to say our table was gone somebody else has took it ! we was so embarrassed as we was leaving , he was the rudest man we’ve ever met and I wouldn’t recommend anyone coming here .

We had a great evening celebrating a family birthday. The menu is varied, food delicious, and service is fantastic. They could not have done more to make us feel welcome and enjoy our evening, including a surprise birthday cake 🎂. We will be visiting again soon 👍

Raja and co are the loveliest people, and this food is nothing short of amazing! Celebrated a birthday here and the service was excellent. Special thanks to Ayb for making the evening so special

I would give it a higher rating if I could! Honestly brilliant - brilliant food, brilliant staff, brilliant prices! Couldn’t be happier!

Visited on Feb 9th 2024 with friends to celebrate my birthday. Food and the service were both 10/10, we were well looked after by the staff and they went above and beyond to make sure we had a good evening! Would highly recommend.

Simply fantastic the best indian food I have ever had. Had a great lovely waiter very kind and helpful. Food didn't take long. Great!!

Extremely friendly. Normal prices. Plenty vegan options. Just had to give an additional tip.

We have visited this cosy restaurant many times as a couple and family and have never been disappointed. On this occasion, 16 December, it was for a family meal and we enjoyed our evening as always. My wife has a gluten, dairy and egg restriction but it is never a problem here, as the food is cooked fresh to order and the dishes can be modified. The menu is always varied and interesting and the dishes served are tasty and flavoursome. The staff here are always friendly, courteous and helpful and we especially liked reading about the history of the restaurant and owner. We would recommend to others and look forward to our next visit.

Food was extremely delicious. Came out over a great pace and we all had a great time.

What a great evening! Thank you Raja for a wonderful services ⭐️ Highly recommend 🥰 Will definitely be back again soon! Thanks, Mookie

The food and also the service by the waitress were really good. Unfortunately the evening ended with a very unpolite behavior of the Restaurant Manager. After one hour, we were told that we can not order more food and drinks. Then he asked us to pay and leave the restaurant in a very unpolite way, as he needed the table for other guests. Never again!

After a stressful day and long time at the hospital, I ordered food from here as I know this restaurant also good food that’s always tasty. However, I was met with the prudent staff who are incompetent and fail to see their own mistakes. The food when delivered was then dropped on the floor where the container then split and the staff insisted on me taking it. I then refused to which he took the food back to the restaurant ensuring I would have new food or a refund. He then never returned back with my food. And on calling the restaurant that had nothing to say other than insults and showed no care for the matter. So they made my bad day even worse.

Food was ok, service definitely not: The bill was presented when we hadn't finished yet. We made a reservation for 7 pm (and started earlier to be fair), but were asked to leave at 7:15 pm? ... Hint for the grumpy old man: Just politely ask next time if you would like to give the table away again ... Manners are key for the experience. PS: The rest of the staff (the young ones) were very nice and pleasant.

Unfortunately my first time here and i felt the biriyani i had was a bit bland and did not have enough flavour. Even with the lentil curry, it was still lacking something. But i’m happy with their timely service and enjoyed the poppadoms. Hope you don’t mind, but hopefully this feedback will help you. All the best
