T. Raj in Croydon

We were recommended to this restaurant and we were glad we went. The food was excellent, very good portions, large choice of dishes and very good prices. The staff were brilliant, very friendly, polite & helpful......would recommend a meal out here, we'll definitely be going back. Thank you T Raj for a really lovely meal out

A long established restaurant and you can see why. The menu is quite extensive and varied. All the staff were friendly and very efficient. The food was well presented and of good quality. We will definitely recommend and return.

A group of ladies gathered together to celebrate a very special birthday. We have varied tastes but all enjoyed the food, and wine, and coffees. The staff were pleasant, attentive and efficient. An excellent venue, and a fun evening. Thank you.

We went to TRaj on a recommendation from a friend, and we were certainly not disappointed. The food and service is absolutely amazing and the staff were so attentive. I really couldn't fault it and would highly recommend.

Consistently excellent service and food from this restaurant. The chicken tikka and in particular the shashlik are the best I’ve eaten: always succulent and very tasty. The chicken Kashir Rezalla is another favourite dish. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating.

We had a delivery tonight for 6 people. I ordered online and it was delivered on time. The food was of an excellent standard and extremely tasty. I would recommend T Raj very highly, the best curry I have had for a long time.

Exceptional service and incredible food - king prawn bhuna was amazing, family had Chili chicken tikka masala, garlic chicken and chicken passanda - such a good meal, great value and very highly recommended

Excellent food, full of rich flavours. Really succulent and juice chicken. The Keema Naan was fully stuffed with Keema. The waiters were very polite and efficient. Glad we visited and would definitely recommend.

Went in for a meal this evening and glad we did. The food was amazing . Best food I've had for a long time. The nan breads were fabulous and Mr T very hospitable.

I have been going to TRaj for many years now and they have never been rude to me and are so willing to help it makes me cross to read bad review makes me wonder what people want in the world, or in actual fact are they going to them same place !!!! the food is of a high standard the lamb is always so tender and tasty, i only wish that i could cook as well the staff bend over backward to help you

Food was good and delivered quickly - however we live off the road and the delivery driver told us that he would ensure that this curry house, nor any other local curry houses he delivers for would deliver to our house as it is "not safe" (the lane to our house is dark). Rather than just ask us to come and a meet the driver, which we would happily do. Weird, offensive and unpleasant experience that has put me off!

Great menu with very good quality food & beers Can be about pricey but you know what you’re getting. Can cater for big groups too

Was recommended by someone and definitely worth it. Nice friendly staff and the food is really good. Would recommend lamb burayani with lamb alcohols and lamb curry - Decent size whether friends or family Kids friendly

Excellent restaurant. Service was excellent, but the food was awesome. If you are in the area and want a sit in restaurant- you will not be disappointed

We have had take away from this restaurant from the very begining of lockdown. Consistently excellent food , staff always helpful and pleasant when we phone. They are honest about delivery times but invariably food comes quicker , always hot . The delivery people are great as well and have always followed strict covid rules. Would definitely reccomend.

Consistently great food..I just don’t get the bad reviews, staff are lovely, food is fantastic especially the naga lamb curry, the chicken tikka, the chicken tikka masala . Been using for years and no where else locally is nearly as good!!

I was looking forward to this meal but neither of us could eat it. There was an overwhelming taste of vinegar and no taste of curry. I was very disappointed.

terrible food and service, the owner sits at his table doesn't acknowledge anyone or ask how the food is.Chicken jalfrezi was awful and the onion bahjee's were like cardboard and definitely not freshly cooked.. please change ownership or something will definitely not be returning or recommending.

Tasty, non greasy food and great service. We visit often and haven't been disappointed yet. My son loves the after eight mints they give him :)

Just visited this curry house at 10.50 in the evening to be told they are closed when their website says they close at 12.00 pm. You don't deserve to be in business. You wont be seeing me again.

Not having much competition for Indian restaurants in coulsdon this place does ok. Went for a meal recently and it was just ok, nothing special but quite pricey. Would go elsewhere if there was something else.

We have had many lovely meals in the restaurant and takeaways it is always consistently good the staff are very welcoming always

As always, no matter how busy, attentive staff and great food. However, too many tables too close to each other so forget any quiet or private conversations! Also, quite pricey for the standard Indian restaurant menu items. But still ...we are happy to walk to this restaurant from home as it IS the best curry locally

We dine in this restaurant frequently and over the years it has got really busy with takeaways. The food is usually good. This particular visit was extremely disappointing. We did wait a while to have our order taken, but then waited 45 mins for the food. So we asked the owner for the bill he had no idea that we had not eaten![bad management). Then when I told him we had not had our food he tried to tell me tandoori food takes a long time to cook! No apology he actually argued with us! We will never return.

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant for YEARS and it has never disappointed. The food is amazing, good quality and has a wide selection. The staff are always lovely and the quality of the food has never diminished. Can’t wait to go back again soon!

We went with some friends on a Saturday night. The food came out quickly but was very average, not much flavour. They seemed to want us out of the restaurant as they were tidying up around us, putting the blinds down, it was only 10.15!! Made you feel uncomfortable.

We have eaten at this restuarant many times and have never had a bad meal. All the curries have been really tasteful and well presented. I can’t think of anytime when the food has not been to the highest standard. The take away meals have also been fantastic. The service is fine and the atmosphere on par with other Indian restaurants. Well worth a visit.

Nice chicken curry delivered but when your order not complete you phone the restaurant after telling him I’m missing some of my order I get told you can have it next time ??? Then I spoke with the person who took the order he told me he will bring it to me & he was there in 10 minuets also with a large bottle of cold beer so 100% happy & will be using again many thanks

My Brother and I took our Mum out for a late Mothers Day meal. Having enjoyed currys at numerous Indian restaurants, this was our first visit to T Raj. The popadoms, with chutneys were first class and the Cobra nicely chilled. Starters were straightforward, but reasonable-then it was all downhill. We asked for a portion of 3 onion bhajis and were told it was either 2 or 4! When delivered, they were powdery with no caramelisation-inedible. The Lamb Tikka was overcooked, tough and chewy...and tasteless. The Chicken Curry bland and wattery. Our Mum's Lamb Madras was way to fiery-and this for someone who enjoys spicy food. Keema rice was overcooked and the bombay potato also overcooked and bland. We finished with a decent coffee and a welcome after eight. All in all a very disappointing meal, despite the few positives outside of the main meal. We shall not return.

After pulling human hair from my Sheek kebab starter, the waiter simply asked if I’d like another one - no apology. We told him to cancel the rest of the meal. No approach from the manager or sign of regret for serving unhygienic food. I left £10 on the table for the drinks we had, and made our way to the door, only to be met by the waiter whom we complained to , who simply thanked us for coming - again, no apology. Food hygiene and customer service at it’s finest!!!!!

Food was great - very impressed! The staff were welcoming and food came quickly and tasted great! Go here!

WE had a big order here with many dishes. Three of us had the butterfly King prawn starter, and how disappointing we all thought. £6.50 for one Prawn! yes really, covered in breadcrums that tasted of nothing. The breads we ordered were doughy and well undercooked. The curries were ok nothing special at all. overall we were disappointed.

Four of us decided for a curry night out and the T. Raj was an excellent choice. The food was very good and plenty of it . We all had different dishes and the lamb Karai was very tasty. The service was of a very high standard and the staff made it a very pleasant evening for us. It was also very good value for money.

This was my second visit to T. Raj as I was very impressed last time. The drinks, papadums and starters were duly ordered and arrived without much of a wait.

We had a family meal here - was recommended by a friend. A very nice restaurant, lovely food and the staff very accommodating and also very reasonably priced. I will now also recommend.

Three of us went for a late evening meal. The service was pleasant and efficient and the food was very good. The owner was also very pleasant and even took us back to our hotel when we discovered there would be a 40 minute wait for a taxi. (We offered hin £20 of course)

Yum. Lamb makhani, peshwari naan and a pint of kingfisher are the perfect combo. My favourite restaurant in Coulsdon.

We went for an evening meal and I was very impressed with the high standard of the food and service. There is a huge selection to choose from including most of the traditional favourites. There are also plenty of house specials if you would like to try something new.

Went for a takeaway and found the food to be expensive and very average in taste, won't be going back.

First time tried and was nice, food was hot and came early. Everyone enjoyed there meal. Will use again 👌

as i said lovely food and friendly staff, great choice of menu to sort all people, nice airy resturant

Muy agradable de la India. Personal amable y buena comida. Nada de flash sobre el restaurante. Simple. Buen servicio. Buena comida.

A menudo comemos aquí, ya que la comida es siempre buena. El servicio puede ser a veces un poco lento pero son normalmente muy ocupados, así que es aceptable.

Este fue nuestro favorito tome curry durante años hace un año, y luego tuvimos unos no tan a la altura, así que compramos. Acabo de volver a ver lo que pensamos, todos nosotros quedamos muy impresionados. Cada plato que pedimos estaba a la altura y muy sabroso, mucho más sabroso que he tenido recientemente en otro lugar. Este es ahora un firme favorito para nuestros curris.

Food good service good just a nice restaurant kept clean only problem is the parking not there fault but the councils to manly restaurant in area .

Absolutely spot on every single time. We have lots of great curry houses around this area but this is by far the best one In my opinion

We had a really nice meal, lots of food, great service, highly recommend, there is also plenty of parking outside and in side roads.

A regular place for our group gatherings in the area. All meal choices for our party of 15 was much enjoyed except for one fish dish.We went on a Sunday evening for a celebration. The restaurant was not over-full. Service was good. We didn't order starters - just poppadoms - and had a bit of a wait for mains but that was OK as we know the food is cooked fresh. There is never a problem arranging the tables to suit a large group. Service is unobtrusive and friendly.

We recently went to this restaurant for the first time with friends and had a lovely meal.The service was good and we enjoyed ourselves. We'll definitely go again.

From the outside this looks like a fairly decent looking Indian restaurant. However as soon as you enter you immediately realise it's pretty shabby at best. The whole place and tables need a refurb and the wall down the centre of the restaurant completely cuts off one side of the restaurant to the other. Waiters are constantly knocking into your table, yet it's hard to get their attention. The poppadoms were really stale and chewy and had to send two lots back before we actually got some crispy ones. I had the Chicken Tikka Special, it was especially greasy but mega bland. My husband also had the Chilli Lamb which was also tasteless. This was the second time we've been here, thought the first time might have just been a bad night but no, won't be going again!

We visit here when we come to stay with friends - it is a must for us. Visited twice now. The food yummy and good service. Our friends use the takeaway service regularly.

Located opposite Waitrose this restaurant is very definitely in the centre of Coulsdon and not Chipstead as the listing would suggest. Unlike other reviewers, we've found both the service and the food to be excellent on the two occasions that we've visited. There is a varied menu which should suit all tastes and preferences. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Whilst the food is superb the service is extremely slow. This is probably due to the take aways being cooked. We had to ask for drinks and menus. We waited 40 mins for our food.

The manager could not find our reserved table. We had to find it for him. Service non existent. They Only asked us for drinks twice. Plates not taken away. Had to ask them to take away old plates. Took so long to get anything.Food extremely greasy. Mixed grill tasted ok, when you got past the tonne of fat/ghee. Dishes given to wrong people and rice missing. Wanted dessert and a coffee, but no waiters to ask. We had to find someone to get the bill. And after paying, the manager asked if we wanted coffee or dessert. What a joke. At least the company made up for this poor excuse of a restaurant.I would not go here again and recommend you don't either!

There are over 30 places to eat in Coulsdon so you get some idea about how good the food is from how busy a place is. There were no available tables here when we visited so we ordered a takeaway and waited. They were just as busy with take out orders and the two curries we had which both featured a variety of mango sauce were excellent.

Order take away but they deliver totally wrong order we called them they said we will not deliver again and they said they have had deliver the food I order.Unfortunately horrible food looks like really old stuff.After that we call other local restaurant(mirch) they told us to order from there app and they we ll get discount also less chance to mess our order so that's what I done got 20% discount and delivery was real quick just deliver in 35 mins the food was just perfect.So TRaj not recommended sorry

Took my Sister for a meal yesterday and wanted it to be special. Service really was extreme poor not friendly and seemed like it was a chor to take our curries away. Cost £40 for two curries also a little over priced not a massive issue but would NOT go again! The food was good but rather give my time And money to a restaurant who would appricate it.

Ordered a chicken bhuna and it was just the worst curry I've ever had. Watery curry. Would not recommend this to anyone.

Been going here since Nov 1979. Food is brilliant, staff are friendly and will always try and accord ate yoir needs.

I've been here a few times due to location as it's easy to get to and from. The food was never mind blowing but last time I went there it was disappointing. Very bland food so much so we haven't been back since now we go to the curry leaf.

I always use this restaurant when ever I am I coulsdon I also used to use the other restaurant that they had down the road.staff always friendly food excellent the price is very good I would recommend this restaurant

Visited a few weeks ago...the restaurant was not busy, but very clean and the staff were polite and attentive. The food was very nice, no stand out dishes, all served very hot and after an acceptable waiting time. Perhaps the total bill reflects the area but whilst we had no complaints about food/service/ambience etc, we can get the same standards (and with more variety) in Coulsdon/Purley/South Croydon...a few minutes drive away for two thirds the price.

I called in here, by myself, at about 22:20 on a Saturday night. It was relatively quiet, but I was made to feel welcome. The service was prompt, and the food nice, even if a little different from most Indian meals I've had. As someone else said, maybe a little sweet.I had a glass of house red wine, a chicken dish, rice and a veg dish, and it all came to a shade over £20 which I thought was good value for money. I shall definitely eat here again next time I'm in the area.

As compared with others they are very expensive and the food taste is sweet but the service is good and fast

There was 6 in our party, all the food from starters to mains and sides were all tasty, piping hot and enjoyed by all. The service is attentive yet did not make us feel rushed. The restaurant is very comfortable and pleasant. We will be back!

We have struggled to find a good curry house in the coulsdon area and are delighted to find a great Resturant with lovely service and delicious food

The food at T Raj has always been good but my recent visit was the best. The king prawn karai curry was spectacular. Nicely spicy and flavoursome. The onion bhajis were big and tasty. Good dips with the poppadoms. Lovely mushroom rice. Looking forward to my next visit.

We recently moved to the area and found this gem of a restaurant which we now have a delivery from at least once a week! The food is fresh tasting and not oily like some other Indian restaurants. Every encounter with the staff from popping in to collect orders, delivery drivers or on the phone have been great. I have never eaten in the restaurant as it looks a little bit old fashioned and to eat in I would rather go somewhere a little more lively.

I had an urge for a good curry, for about a week, after a co-worker mentioned eating some. I decided to try the T. Raj, after work, on my way home. I often pass through Coulsdon and, from the outside, this restaurant always looked nice. Upon entry, I was greeted and seated, promptly and politely. The atmosphere inside met my expectation. The décor seems modern, subdued lighting, and classy. I opted for a lamb vindaloo and pilau rice. The vindaloo was good, the rice just average. After I finished my meal, the plates were removed, but no one asked me if I wanted dessert. Neither was I asked if I wanted another drink, nor anything else. Furthermore, no one brought me the bill...for ages. So, I would say the service quality fell off after the main course was served. I did like the atmosphere a lot and imagine this would be a great place for a date night.

I have eaten at TRaj for many years and have always left feeling it had been well prepared tasty food at a reasonable price. The sort of restaurant you are always made to feel at home, the staff ( which change as you might expect ) always give you a smiling friendly welcome whether they know you are not , which tells me it is a well run and settled place.Highly recommended for eat in or take away .

Good local curry house constant good quality and service,been going here for years a little expensive but most curry houses are go and enjoy

I've been to T Raj on more occasions than I care to remember and I'm never disappointed by the standard. The food is always fantastic. The restaurant is in two parts, separated in part by an exotic fish tank. The decor is a bit cheesy but the atmosphere when busy is pleasant.I've tried a great number of curry's over the years, though I tend to prefer milder ones such as the bhuna, biryani and balti - all of which are extremely tasty.The waiters are friendly enough, although if the restaurant is quiet they can tend to linger around.But overall I've never had a bad experience and if you're looking for a tasty, reasonably priced curry in the Croydon area, T Raj is the place to go.

Not eaten here for over a year (bad experience) so thought would try again. The service was very good. Food and prices just average. I would go again. Best to book for a Saturday night.

My local curry house and by far the best in the area. I use this for both eating in and take away and have never had any reason to fault it. The staff are really friendly and the service is always to the highest standard. The food is always well presented, spicy and served on warming trays to keep it hot. The cost is always reasonable and the portions are larger than at most places.

I have used this restaurant when it was at its old site and at this new one,Staff are cheerfull,friendly.The food is well cooked and you get good helpings.I go to this resturant when ever i am i Coulsdon,The owner is alsocheerfull.I would advise peaple to use this curry house

Being the critical person i am. I have no issue in saying how much i love t raj. It's not my local curry house. But i make a point of going every 2 weeks there. The staff are friendly and refer to me by name and my gf too. The food amazing and the price £35 for two people thats a bargin in my eyes for all that you are getting.

I enjoyed my food at t raj. Good quality and good portion sizes. I will definitely come here again. My only complaint was that the food was a bit too sweet. Curries shouldn't have that much sugar in them, should they?

For us, the best thing about going to T Raj is the warm welcome and excellent service. You couldn't wish to meet a nicer group of gentlemen. The food is consistently good whether eating in or for take away. We have introduced many friends to the restaurant and all have been impressed.

The lighting is poor and unwelcoming, and felt the place needed warming up, Candles on the tables would of helped,and there was no music which added to the coldness, the food was ok, but have had better, but my main complaint was with the waiters, they were cold and unfriendly except for one! after we had finished our meal the waiters then paced up and down next to us rubbing their eyes and looking at their watches, and It was only 1045 on a Saturday night! but when we had paid and were leaving they all brightened up and we had an insincere goodbyes!

Waiters were officious and not that friendly. Food came out a bit quick which leads me to think it's not made to order. Definitely had better curries. Ambiance poor - no Indian music or pictures. Fish tanks were ok. After 10.30pm we were last in the restaurant and got the definite impression the wanted us to leave. Third time we've been there - don't think we'll do it again. Get a takeaway from the India Brasseries - better food at half the price!

This is our local curry house, we have never been for a meal here always had takeaway, but I have very mixed reviews. I have to say our last few orders recently have been slightly improved so maybe they have a new chef, but a few comments they should take on board...- Anything sweet and sour, such as a pathia is far too sweet, it tastes like there are about 4 spoons of sugar in it.- Prawns are usually tasteless which is disapointing as we pay a lot more for a prawn dish- The Massala dishes are bright red, which doesn't look very natural (or healthy) and also far too sweet.A better balance of spices would be good, and also on occasions chicken has been rubbery and tough, it's quite pricey for what you get and they never throw in any free papadams like every other takeaway I've been to.A few improvements could make this place a good curry house, but compared to the one in my hometown, it doesn't compare.

I feel that if you give poor feedback for a restaurant, it's only fair to that establishment to write another if it improves. We have been back twice since my review in June and I am pleased to report that it has improved immensely. The food is good and the waiters are friendly and helpful. They must have hired a new chef.

We have tried to get on with this place as it's so close to home but it simply is rather poor. In particular the take away food is not good and when I complained they were rude.

This has to be the best curry house I have ever been to. Great service and food! I would suggest everyone going here and the person above obviously doesn't know taste!!! Have been to t raj over a hundred times now and will never stop going back

I have eaten here three times and have been underwhelmed by the food and service. But, last week decided to stop by as it was the most convenient place at the end of a long journey.Alarm bells rang when very shortly after ordering, out came our meals.This was undoubtedly the worst Indian meal I have ever eaten. The chicken in one of the dishes was hard chewy chunks and tasted as if it had been reheated. The sauce in a patia tasted as if it had had more than a passing acquaintance with a bottle of tomato ketchup. The watery ‘special’ rice could have been reported under the Trades Descriptions Act – I have never had a rice dish less special than that one. Even the naan bread was tasteless.I spent an uncomfortable night which lasted well into the next morning.The waiters are surly. Yes, they smile and are polite but all have developed a knack of smiling with their mouths and not their eyes. You get the distinct feeling that their restaurant would be great if it weren’t for the customers. The only positive comment I have about T.Raj is that it appears to be clean but it is so gloomy inside (or is that meant to be ‘mood lighting’?) that it is hard to tell.I won't be eating here again.P.S. The address is Brighton Road, Coulsdon - not Chipstead.
