Tandoori Raj in Camden

Comí aquí el jueves 8 de noviembre por la noche. La comida era verdaderamente horrible. No sé qué había en el dhansak de pollo, pero sabía y olía realmente extraño y me hizo sentir mal al olerlo. El aloo gobi se veía y sabía que tenía una semana de antigüedad. Peor que todo eso, el camarero estaba paralíticamente borracho. Eructa sobre mi comida y constantemente choca contra cosas. No me quejé de la comida porque no estaba seguro de cómo reaccionaría. Tuve unos bocados y me fui.

Good Food daal was nice and the chicken dish was recommended. The roti were hot and the ambiance was very cozy

. . . como su nombre parece ser, pero de cualquier forma es la misma dirección!Minúsculo. Muy pequeño, sin atmósfera, pero en realidad la comida no está mal.El pequeño inodoro debajo de algunas escaleras poco confiables es una especie de espacio de edad, como se opone al comedor, que es definitivamente el diseño pequeño y funcional.Sin embargo, un poco básico, pero la comida está bien.

Encontré este restaurante cuando salía de mi hotel y pensé que podría probarlo más tarde.Después de mi show, era bastante tarde y otros lugares se estaban cerrando, pero cuando pasamos, todavía había gente dentro, así que entramos.Nada era demasiado problema para ellos, de hecho, es uno de los restaurantes indios más agradables en los que he estado.Es cierto que no es el restaurante más moderno que encontrarás, pero para mí eso se suma a la diversión.Nuestra comida estaba recién preparada y sabrosa. Un gran menú con mucha variedad, algo para todos.Volvería y realmente disfruté mi comida.Ten en cuenta que puede ser un poco caro, así que si quieres ver el valor de lo que estás pidiendo.

Estábamos anhelando seriamente y nos dijeron que la comida india esta zona era donde encontrarlo. Tandoori Raj fue la primera (sólo? Nos encontramos,) lugar muy tranquilo dentro, pero muy gentil personal que se esfuerza por agradar (aparentemente nuestra primera ronda de cócteles agotado los suministros y fueron saliendo más cuando nos dijimos que estábamos dispuestos a cambiar a la cerveza). El naan de ajo era deliciosa, como el pollo a la mantequilla y el pescado de goa al curry. Nos quedamos muy contentos!

Infact this restaurant brings bad name to indian food . I don't recommend this restaurant to anybody.

Como una familia de cuatro, comimos temprano en la noche. Los precios en la ventana no son los precios que pagan; que es mi primera queja. El es barato y de mal gusto, las mesas están uno encima del otro. El curry eran muy pequeñas y se sirve frío. prácticamente El pollo estaba hecha y duro y todos estábamos muy decepcionados. No era una comida barata! Evita este establecimiento ya que hay muchos mejores restaurantes en esta zona?

Maten god, vi åt tandoori och kyckling Bhuna (jättegod). Maten god men det blev ganska dyrt. Servicen super.

fantastic food, friendly staff, very clean lots of food! really good seats are in the window so you can see people going about their day

Cenamos aquí ya encontramos mientras buscábamos la cena. El servicio era amable y las bebidas y la comida llegó rápidamente. La comida era normalilla, no raciones enormes, y no mucho sabor. En realidad nada mal con la comida, no muy estimulante o dejar que quieran volver.Un pequeño establecimiento y así fácilmente podría ser completa.

Ristorante piccolo e non troppo pulito. La scelta dei piatti caratteristici indiani è comunque ampia e la qualità e mediocre.

No se desanime por el aspecto de este pequeño restaurante, o la falta de clientes, era absolutamente precioso. Comida recién preparada, el personal era fantástico, impecable, a primera clase.

You forgot a cheese naan, ordered 2 but received 1

Comimos allí dos veces en una semana. La comida y el servicio de valor representada buena relación calidad-precio.

We were drawn into Tandoori King by a posted menu promising inexpensive prices, "Lamb or Chicken Vindaloo-8.95". My wife just wanted an appetizer and water; I'd have a beer too. We reckoned on a tab of 30 pound or so. First the waiter asked us if we wanted certain extras, chutneys, naan, rice to go with the meal. He mumbled and was difficult to understand, did not speak English well, but led us to believe these were the usual accessories to the meal, no mention of extra charges. In fact each item - which we didn't even want- notched up the bill significantly. Then he insisted the appetizer my wife ordered wouldn't be enough for her and urged her to order the full plate instead. She acquiesced - and they brought out both items and charged for both; wouldn't take away the appetizer even when we said that she didn't need both, she'd only changed at the waiter's urging (might have been owner in this small establishment.) They gave us to believe the appetizer would not be charged us. When we asked for a little additional rice they charged us for a second order. Finally they added on a 12.5% "service charge" to the whole bill which then topped out over 54 quid. The whole episode was disgraceful and patently dishonest in my estimation. Food was OK for what it's worth, but customer beware!

I picked this restaurant because it seemed best value in the street and curry felt right. I was eating alone and I was treated to a conversation about the inadequacies of one of our party political leaders from people who knew him and on the other side the coming and goings of chambers.The food was good too.

My wife and I went for tea. We were the only ones there, now we understand why. The food was very ordinary and for what we got, seriously overpriced.

I came to visit central London for a short holiday was walking past the restaurant in the holborn area, and thought i'll go inside very welcoming restaurant. Food had great taste, and also came sooner then we hoped.This restaurant is a must if you are visiting london. :)

Great quality to price ratio, and delivery was on time, don't know what ppl are complaining about

A funny place this. I have been coming here for many years and the food seems to be based on a sinusoidal wave function. Unfortunately this time we found ourselves in a trough. Poor food, no music and no atmosphere. I recommended this place to a curry loving mate of mine and so it was one of those classic "it's not normally like this" excuses that I had to come out with whilst we were sitting there in the morgue-like atmosphere. We were the only people in there at 8.30pm on a Thursday night and they were probably using a waiter to do the cooking and had given the proper chef a night off. Chilli powder lobbed in at the last minute to create a Vindaloo and a Balti Chicken Jalfrezi that had raw onions and green peppers (but no chillies) thrown in on top - says it all. All in all a poor experience. So why the "3" marking and not a "1"? Simple, I have had some excellent meals there (and recently) and so you pays your money and takes your chance. It's probably worth the risk bearing in mind how busy and expensive restaurants in the area normally are.

last week i was order for delivery it was unacceptable late to deliver . they deliver to one an half hour late . food was hot if i am honest . but delivery man dont feel sorry he is busy with phone i ask for my change he said he is forgot to bring it .

This place is very small from the outside but does say that it has plenty of seating upstairs. The service was impeccable and the food was wonderful. The starter of onion Bhagi was a bit heavy but the main course was delicious. Good prices too for a London restaurant. Would definitely go back again if I was in London.

Slightly surprise to see the restaurant empty at 9pm Friday night, but we'd had a few beers and were hungry. Service was reasonable, the food came quite quickly. I've had better curries, I've had worse. No real complaints, but we found it a bit expensive

Avoid if you actually want to eat tonight my order was 40mins late (so took 1:40 to arrive) and the food was the worst yet!! avoid avoid

Great service, I booked by phone , great communication , food was excellent, I recommend this restaurant , I come again on my next visit

Best Indian restaurant i have ever been in, very clean and food is outstanding food had come out half an hour early. i will highly recommend others to come as it delicious and the service is excellent

Good food, would have been quick if they'd come to the right house.

I got here at 6pm on a Thursday. There was nobody in the restaurant and there was no music on. They did not turn on the music so it was me and one waiter sat there in silence. They turned on the music only when a group of customers came in. I ordered a sheek kebab, which was fine, and a buttered chicken. The curry was the worst curry I have ever had. I could not actually eat it. I asked for the bill, and requested they take off the service charge. I am a student, and I give a tip when I can afford it, but I could not on this occasion, plus I was paying for a curry that I did not eat. He told me he could not take it off. I pointed out it was discretionary and he said no, it was compulsory. I told him the menu states it is discretionary, and he said it states it is compulsory. I picked up a menu and showed him where it said discretionary. He said yes... compulsory. It took a lot of arguing to get him to finally remove the charge and this was embarrassing and just wrong.

Decent Indian food, but nothing particularly special. Had the chicken korma and a chicken rojan dish. Both were fine, but I've had better.

Went there and the place seems a little dull however I have seen worse. The food was ok nothing to talk about, the restaurant was dead quiet and found it interesting when there was 3 waiters just watching me eat my food as they were bored out of their brains!!!

Good food, would have been quick if they'd come to the right house.

настоящая Индия в центре города! не могу упрекнуть ни в чем! действительно очень хороший ресторан! да и официанты вроде как индусы)

A good deal here for lunch 12-3. £6.95 for the buffet. The tins contained (on various days) minced lamb and potato, prawn and green beans, chicken and spinach, potatoes and spinach, chicken curry, mutton curry. Always some tandoori wings, pickles, salads, two veg options. Nicely flavoured indian home cooking. I was quite pleased and the buffet option allows in and out within a lunch hour very comfortably. I ate here seven times in two weeks (working very close by as a temp) and found it reliably sound.

A comida é muito boa, atendimento igualmente bom. Entretanto é um lugar com preço elevado. É possível encontrar inúmeros outros lugares em Londres com o mesmo tipo de comida e por muito menos, especialmente em feirinhas de rua (região de London Bridge).

You eat like in India! I believe by far the best Indian in town! Chicken tikka masala outstanding.The beer COBRA is worth well to taste

Staff not very friendly.Popodums slightly stale, chicken on my main course very tough. Onion base badly mixed.Simply not very nice for the price.This was from the fairly expensive menu, not the buffet. Not somewhere I would visit again, since I recall how nice this restaurant was on Theobalds Road rather the cramped location it is now in at Red Lion Street.

Very clean, great service and tasty food. Everything tasted fresh and well made.Recommend keema naan and tikka masala and vindaloo.As I said, definitely the best in London so far...avoid brick lane!

Taken here by friends who had forewarned us this restaurant did not look much from the outside but the food was good. They were right! It looks like a corner cafe but the service was good, the food tasty and well priced. Good honest Indian cuisine which does not pretend to be anything it is not. Definitely one to go back to.

called in friday night after sightseeing all day,had chicken tandoori and some chips tp take away and it was lovely,would recommend,

Have eaten here before and it is what it looks like an Asian corner café, it is clean and the staff fine, apart from the attempts at upselling.I sat down and I only wanted a simple evening meal, so being asked do you want a Cobra / Poppadum’s ?, I took as being a bit stereotypical. I just wanted a simple evening meal so ordered, water, Lamb Madras and a chapatti. I was told that the chapatti was very thin and did I want two – no, I ordered 1 (surprisingly I do know what a chapatti looks like), do you want rice – no. I think they just thought they could lump all sorts onto the offer and normally people just agree, as I said, I just wanted a simple meal. The food its self was good – It was that tangy gravy sauce which I like and the meat was well boiled mutton, again as I like it.Would I go there again – yes.

We came london for visit .we love indian foods and beside to try tandoori raj.it was a small restaurent but foods and service was cxcellent.I recommand my friends and everyone visit this restaurent.

It didn't look very inviting but I thought I'd try this place as I'd not previousy noticed it. On the plus side the service was fine - staff were courteous and prompt, but the place looked neglected and the food was really not good at all. I had a Biryani which was dry, tired and tasteless, and a bhindi bhaji which hadn't been cooked properly. I won't be going back

This is catergorically the worst restaurant I have ever been to!! I was visiting london on business and met a friend for dinner. Not knowing the area, we found this Indian restaurant close to our hotel. It was fairly late on a Monday evening, so alarm bells didn't ring when the place was empty - they should have!! We ordered chicken samosas to share, when they arrived and I bit into them to my disgust they were lamb which I can't eat!! The waiter apologised and brought chicken ones. Onto the main course, one curry came out that was the wrong one and we had to wait 15 minutes for a replacement, not ideal when you are dining together and one persons curry isn't there! The waiter kept blaming the chef saying that the owner was out and he doesn't know what the chef was doing! Finally when we got our bill, they had the cheek to charge a service charge!! I complained and said that it was awful, twice we got the wrong thing - to be told 'yes but you're not being charged for the wrong things!!' He finally agreed to take a whole £3.50 off and said he can't take anything else off as his boss will think it's something he has done and get into trouble?! The most apalling restaurant ever!!

Perfectly good if pretty standard grub. Excellent chapatis, papadums and Bombay alloo. Chicken madras not bad either.

Went with 2 friends, one of which had a tastecard, specifically the one on the card as they have now made this an option.We booked the table as normal, however when coming to ask for the bill they refused to take our tastecard as they wanted a hard copy one. They agreed that the virtual is valid, however said the bill would still be full price. We tried to explain amicably that you can now choose to have a virtual one, and they refused and walked off. When asking if we could speak to the manager they kept shoving another tables hard copy tastecard in our face saying this is all they are accepting. We chose to follow him up to the front desk.Trying to speak to the one we assumed the manager, as the others had repeatedly reported back to him on several occasions, he lied and said that the manager was actually 'outside' and all the waiters there were all the same. He then followed on by rudely speaking over us and openly refusing to listen to our side. When trying to sort out payment between ourselves they took the notes before we were even finished, and refused to let go of them!When booking, if they had specifically said they wanted only hard copies then of course we wouldn't have even booked, agreeing to be part of tastecard means that they should agree to take any form of the tastecard-hard or virtual. They were at fault, and should have kept to their end of the tastecard agreement. To finish up, it was the most shockingly appalling, rude, abrupt and undermining behaviour that I have ever come across, and will definitely never think of returning or recommending this restaurant.

I have never written a review before but after the worst restaurant experience I have ever encountered, I felt outraged, incessant and obliged to comment. My friends and I decided to go somewhere that was part of the tastecard scheme so we decided to choose this place which is pretty local to where we all work. After booking a table and asking 3 times whether they accepted the tastecard (once over the phone and twice when we had arrived) they assured us that they do. Thinking we'd get 50% off the bill we decided to have a look at the menu and ordered what we fancied. I'd like to add that when we entered, the restaurant was completely empty and as another reviewer below had pointed out, we should have taken that as a sign to leave.After eating, we showed them our tastecard (which was on my friend's iPhone) but they refused to accept it as it was not in card form and refused to give us our bill. My friend showed her driving licence and debit card to prove that her name on the tastecard matched. We also explained that the upgrade of the tastecard is no longer in card format. They still refused this. I honestly felt like they were trying to scam us. By this point there were other customers in the restaurant but the staff were happy to have a full blown argument with us in the middle of the restaurant. Does this sound like good customer service????? I THINK NOT!They spoke over us, gave us absolutely no chance to speak and then every time we spoke to them, they turned their backs to us and walked off. It all got very heated. I have never seen such rude behaviour. We asked to speak to the manager but he refused to come to us even though he was standing two feet away from us overseeing the whole thing. At this point, we had had enough, so we got up and put our coats on and then went over to the manager. The 'manager' had then claimed that the real manager was upstairs. Oh wait, now he was outside. They even had the cheek to tell us to get a tastecard (in card form), come back, and then they'd give us the 50% off our next bill!!! NO THANKS! If a restaurant chooses to be part of this scheme, it's absolutely necessary they know what the rules are rather than picking and choosing rules which are most convenient for them. We have used the tastecard in several restaurants before without any problems.After 45 minutes of arguing, they grabbed the money off our hands when we were splitting the bill amongst ourselves. They then refused to give the money back to us when we asked for it back to make sure that we had given them the right amount.I can't even rate this place as I was so disgusted by the service!!!!

Worst restaurant experience I have ever had! Phoned ahead to check they were accepting a deal and they said yes so booked a table. After asking for a bill they changed mind about the deal and was adamant on charging full price. Extremely rude staff (apart from one guy) not helpful, took money from our hands whilst we were splitting bill between us, talked over us when we were asking to speak to the manager and fobbed us off saying he was not available. They should not be allowed to pick and choose the terms of the deal if they have signed up to the scheme. They said they would offer the deal if we came back - no thanks! Would not return there. Food was mediocre at best.

Visited on a weeknight night with friends. It's in an ideal location with lots nice old pubs nearby and consequently filled up very quickly. The poppadoms and starters of onion bhaji and samosa weren't bad but the main courses were fairly rough. The chicken in the special I ordered was very rubbery and the large chunks of onion in the dish seemed not to have been cooked properly. My friends didn't enjoy their curries much either and the chicken tikka jalfrezi didn't look at all appealing. I found my choice to be oily, greasy and unsatisfying. Cost wise, I did think it was reasonable at £80 for three however.

Very good flavoured food - well cooked and presented. What lets this place down is the waiting staff - they are distant and aloof - with a poor grasp of English. This is not the way to be in our capital city.It's an average place at best.

Me and my boyfriend decided to try out the lunchtime buffet one Sunday afternoon.To begin with the selection was minimal and being someone who has tried many Indian buffets this was disappointing. There were no sauces either as 'you have to order poppadums' in order to have the sauces.Then we actually tried some of the food, the chicken wings and potato pakoras (which is all they had for starters) were cold. It was as if they'd been left out before they were put in the metal containers. It's was terrible.Then to top it off (and led to us leaving without even trying the main) was the waiter who was coughing over every plate, glass and meal he was bringing out. I couldn't believe the lack of consideration. It was disgusting, and knowing that he was involved in serving the food put me off completely. We told the waiter that he should be covering his mouth when he coughs but I don't even think he knew why we were so offended!Never going back there.

So a friend of mine and I decided to visit Tandoori Raj as she had a Gourmet Card (on her phone) with 50% off. As it was nearby to where we were, we booked for 9pm on a Saturday night.The corner position and central location should offer it ample opportunities for customers, but when we arrived it was completely empty. Automatically, the gut feeling is that we should have turned around but we walked in anyway.We were seated and started perusing the menu - the usual fare, with a section for chef recommendations that offered a few different dished. It gave us ample time to look at the interior - tables cramped up against the window, tacky looking tableware, and a TV showing Bollywood videos blazing in the background.So our order - plain naan, saag aloo, a prawn and crab curry, and a lamb vindaloo, washed down with a beer and coke - came out quick and the food was decent. It's nothing I'd write home about, and very similar to the multitude of restaurants you'd find in your neighbourhood. However, flavours were good, naan was freshly baked and it wasn't swimming in oil like some takeaway food. Only the rice was slightly disappointing - reheated and dry.The terrible part came when it came to pay. We mentioned to the waiter (1 of 2, with the other having disappeared). We mentioned our card and he came over with a handwritten bill, and we showed him the Gourmet card on my friend's phone. His response - 'Not the Gourmet Card. Need the actual card'.Now though there seemed to be a language barrier (I'm being nice here) he kept on insisting on seeing the plastic card, when you have the option to have the card on the app. A little more tete'a'tete and he waved us off, saying we needed to speak to the manager (the missing waiter).10 mins later he arrived, and communication was better. I asked if he was the manager. Affirmative. I asked if he believed the app showed the Gourmet card. He said yes. I asked if we could take up the offer then. He replied 'no'. He then said if we wanted to take this further I should speak to the manager, pointing to the 1st waiter.I'm sorry...so you believe it's the Gourmet card, you're the manager but now you're saying the other guys the manager??The exchange got more and more annoying as we carried on, with the 1st waiter insisting we needed to produce the plastic card to claim the discount. This went on for another 10 mins. Finally, exasperated, we showed him my friend's ID which matched the app. All of a sudden the waiter replied - 'Ok'.Really? You wasted 20mins of our time wrangling over the bill because you wanted to see ID? Well why didn't you just ask for that in the first place?!As I paid the 2nd waiter apologised, which is great as it does show he did care about service. But by the time he said 'It won't happen again next time' he'd already lost us. It's incidents like this that really damage a business, and I hope that the 1st waiter (who I suspect is the owner) leaves any customer interaction to his employee, otherwise I'm fully expecting to see a different restaurant in that location by end of year.

Fairly Average Indian - Tiny Indian Restaurant that insists on playing Crappy Bollywood Music Video's on Repeat. Decor of the place acceptable for a late night curry but you wouldn't take a date here. Food was OK but didn't wow me - Personally think this place needs to try harder.

This is a great Indian restaurant just off the Main Street. It was something of a surprise that we had it to ourselves on a Saturday night, but this legal area of London is quiet at the weekends. We had courteous and efficient service and food as good as any we have tasted. Deserves more custom.

We were simply wowed by the food here. My husband had vegetable thali, which has multiple little dishes, each of which had a different and special taste. I had tandoori lamp chops, both succulent and spiced correctly. And they carry Cobra! The service is sort of "eh" but it doesn't matter - they were polite, and did not ask me for our PIN when we gave them our card (as per another review).

My girlfriend chose this reaturant prior to our visit to london as part of my 30th birthday celebration. I am a big fan of curry and this restaurant served typical north indian food. taste was good and nothing shout about, but overall plesant experience. given the greater numbe rof Indian restaurant in central london, i would try other restaurant before i come back again.

Fairly typical fare; decent quality, no issues. Good value for central London.

Nice place to have Indian Lunch and dinner in central london, quire close to Holborn stationFood costs around 6 pounds for unlimited food per person

Very average food. I ate the food but I won't be returning. I'm not a food expert but I know curry houses and this will not get another visit.

Nous sommes tombé sur ce sympathique restaurant après que notre premier choix le resto Rasa soit fermé. Petit restaurant de 40 places que nous avions pratiquement pour nous seul. Accueil professionnel, courtois et réserver. Nous avons choisi pour deux le deluxe à 32.00$ qui consistait en deux entrées, de l'agneau Korai, un poulet Rogan, des légumes mélangés, du riz pilau et pain nan. Nourriture goûteuse, savoureuse et selon les goûts épicés si on prend la sauce qui accompagne. Pour moi ce fût une découverte.

My fiance and I had a fab meal in the raj..the service was really good (rob served us and was fab). The decor is nothing fancy but the food was quick but not too quick between courses that you felt rushed..as for the food - sooo tasty..will definately be going back next time we're down in the big city!! We hope you enjoy their tasty food as much as we did!
