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.

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

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)

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!

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

We visited Raj recently when on a short break to Grantchester to visit our daughter. We’d been to the restaurant previously and had a nice meal each time and were well looked after by the staff. But on our last visit the chef and front of house team surpassed even their own high standards. Ordering the Kashmir Lamb main course for the first time, that was superb, our compliments to the chef resulted in another portion of Kashmir plus rice and popadom all on the house. I can’t recommend the restaurant and the team enough. If you’ve not been then you simply have to go there. We’ll be back again in June for graduation and another excellent meal and experience. Thank you guys, see you June ‘24!

Ok, so the chicken in the curries was too dry, but this place still deserves 5 stars for food as the flavours were amazing. I have been eating and cooking Indian food for over 30 years and am often disappointed by Indian restaurants, but not this one. Everything tasted as it should and then some. The vindaloo was deliciously hot and sour without being overpowering, the ceylon filled your mouth with delicious coconut and subtle spice, the aubergine side dish really tasted of aubergine, the lime and cashew rice delicious and the only problem with the bread basket was I wanted to eat it all!

Mowgli beef was amazing, however the butter chicken was very bland and didn't really have any depth. Same can be said about the tandoori chicken. The lamb chops and kebabs that came in the raja grill was really top notch and so was the masala fries which I would say is a must try.

Worst butter chicken I’ve ever tried, somehow the sauce was basically flavourless, with the small hint of flavour being what I can only describe as brocolli water.

This is not a review of the restaurant per se, but of the staff and management: On 19 Nov 2023, along with 9 other people, I witnessed A MEMBER OF STAFF ASSAULT A MAN who was drunk (and probably homeless). It seems the man had entered the restaurant, but was on his way out. Staff pushed him very hard making him fall badly. He fell onto another person, but if he hadn't, his head would have hit the edge of the kerb and he would have been SERIOUSLY INJURED. A more senior member of staff defended his colleague, and refused to make a report to the police. (We rang the police, but they wouldn't accept a report from a third party.) I'd call this bad service and a bad atmosphere ‼️

The food is very authentic, with plenty of flavour. The menu is somewhat limited compared to "typical" Indian restaurants. That said, there's plenty of variety, so I'm sure everyone will find something. The service was very efficient but not overly friendly or flexible. One dish we wanted came with a certain rice, which we didn't particularly want, so we asked if we could swap it for another and pay any difference. The answer was an emphatic no, we would have to order the rice we wanted as an incremental dish, which we did. Also, on Sundays they offer free poppadoms and chutneys. We had one each, they charged us for them. We mentioned this. They said nothing in response but took the cost off and added a 10% service charge. We were going to leave a tip anyway, so no big deal but hopefully, this gives you a sense of the service and the way customers are treated. Would I go back? For the food, yes, but as an overall experience, doubtful.

Worst restaurant ever. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. We had very bad experience. The manager was so rude when we ordering food. Very poor customer service. Never ever go to this restaurant. We spent £111 for 6 guests which is equal to £18.50 per person. We’ve been to so many restaurants in the UK. This was the first time that we were unwelcome in the restaurant and the manager doesn’t know how to speak to customer politely. Please don’t go.

Averagely overpriced food. The vegetable bhaji on our shared platter was very dry and obvious it’s prepared in advance and left on a hot plate / cupboard. The aubergine slice in batter was bland, tasteless. The sag paneer was very bland, not seasoned well, the tandoori roti wasn’t cooked fully and parts were raw. Very disappointed with the food. The chefs and wider team need to improve or this will damage their reputation, 😳

Food quantity is less for a higher price. We had to order paneer and its gravy separately (for the spice), which just sounds absurd. The chickpeas were bland too even after we told them to make it spicy. However, the atmosphere was good and the taste was not too bad.

Reading some of the reviews, I'm a bit confused as to whether these are pertaining to the same restaurant or not. My family & I found all the food to be fantastically flavoured. Great choices for all pallettes. Personally, I'd prefer it to be slightly more spicy, but that's not a criticism, it's just my taste. All dishes, including mango lassy drinks were very tasty. Highly recommend a visit to this restaurant and if we lived closer by, it'd become a regular visit.

This was our first time dining at Raja, and it will be our last! My partner and I found the courses itself very nice, but unfortunately the meal was ruined by the service we received. After finishing our meal we asked to take the leftovers home (quite common). Bearing in mind this restaurant does also offer a takeaway and delivery service, we were told no, we do not do "doggy bags". The owner argued that he would prefer us to eat his dishes in the restaurant, and that there wasn't enough food left to take home whilst lifting the last nann breads with his fingers. When I responded he walked away whilst I was mid sentence. We were quite honestly shocked! We had noticed earlier that the owner had reprimanded a member of staff in front of us/other customers, due to a miscommunication with our drinks order. He then went behind the bar and aggressively threw 2 beer bottles in the sink. I do not often leave bad reviews, but I have never come across such a bad attitude as a customer in the hospitality industry.
