Taste of Raj in Richmond upon Thames

Been here several times, including last night ,the food is very nice, staff excellent.

Amazing food, really good price and lovely service. Will definitely come again

Upon entering this restaurant, a damp, moldy smell was immediately noticeable, which affected the ambiance. Although the service was good, the freshness of items like the mint chutney and salad was lacking. Despite labeling itself as an Indian restaurant, the food does not reflect authentic Indian cuisine. As someone familiar with true Indian flavors, I noticed that many dishes seemed to rely on a one type of curry paste, resulting in a bland, one-dimensional taste. Indian food is celebrated for its complex layers of flavor—not simply hot and spicy and that depth was missing here. If the owners are looking to improve, I’d recommend visiting authentic Indian establishments, like Cha Chaz in Feltham or Flavours of India in Hounslow East, to experience genuine Indian cuisine. I hope this feedback will be constructive—thank you.

Not really good experience- staff is horrible

Taste of raj is always my first go to curry! never had any issues with any occasions so far great work keep it up good work regards Ash

On a Friday night it was very disappointing to have reheated, gritty, tasteless rice, lamb chops arriving on a sizzling dish at least five minutes before the plates arrived (then being told this is normal), reclining on a bed of reheated boiled onions, jalfrezi served in a soup bowl and being charged £1 for lime pickle that we ordered in order to jazz up the soggy poppadoms. On top of which being made to wait to pay the bill due to take away drivers taking preference, our poor decision to give this restaurant a third opportunity to redeem itself was our own fault. However, I believe we've finally learned the error of our ways. Cannot unreccomend enough.

I live in Manchester and am currently working in London 2 days a week and ordered a takeaway last week which was delivered to the Cabbage Patch pub in Twickenham. I have eaten in nearly all the restaurants in Rusholme Manchester commonly known as the “Curry Mile” and I have never had a better Lamb Jalfezi in any restaurant there which was as good as the one The Taste of Rag delivered last week and the garlic bread and starter were also excellent.

Delivery came on time, the food didn’t taste like it had before, no spice and too fruity. The poppadoms were stale, we couldn’t eat them and called the restaurant 2 times over 2 days, left a voicemail each time but no return call. Poor service, listen to your customers.

The service provided by the young Bangladeshi man was 10/10. he deserves all the good credit.

This is the eat-in to have. Food is always nice. Fresh and a lot of flavour. Always arrives hot and fast. You can call up and ask any questions about new dishes that you would like to try. They will always do there best to explain what it is and what it has in it. The people who work there are super friendly very polite nothing to much for them.

Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful and staff are super friendly and the food…..damnnnn the food is delicious and authentic. The food was mouth watering and tasted even better. Everything about this restaurant was amazing. Taste of Raj is one of the best restaurants I tried in Twickenham so far. I don’t normally leave reviews but I feel compelled as the food was absolutely exquisite. Honestly a 11/10. Will definitely be recommending this place.

Very recommendable, very tasty food, fantastic service, worth going and trying 😄

Absolutely fantastic , the service great and the waiter Emon was just perfect with great hospitality.My family went there on Friday and we were impressed. The restaurant was cleaned and the aroma was fantastic and making craving for more.The prices were exceptionally low surprisingly for the service, they gave free chocolate and he offered some complementary drinks just a wow.Would definitely recommend. .

Shah makes fantastic mocktails, fantastic food would recommend

Ambient atmosphere, really friendly service, and last but not the least, delicious food options. Also its Halal, overall, its a well round experience, i'd definitely recommend.

Just been for a wedding anniversary meal. Food was terrible only had few bites before I had to stop. Food was too salty and the meat had gone off. Looked like it was microwaved after a long time in freezer.

Unbelievable service from the friendly staff and fantastic tasty food, very well priced especially for the area and we can’t wait to return next time we’re in the area.

Great food, service and atmosphere.

Was really bad service there was a hair in the rice...The plates were dirty & the waiter just cleaned the plate with a napkin & I said I would not eat of this plate....food was cold and curry was sweet would never go again nor I would not recommend

Good restaurant, and the best for Indian takeaway in the area.

Best curry in twickenham Emon looked after me and I couldn’t ask for a better service Sunday buffet at it’s best will definitely be back here again

Service and atmosphere were great and location was a little spot near the green. We got the poppadums which were lovely- chutney were interesting but could have had more flavour. We got lamb chops, sheekh kebab and pani puri to start which were good but just needed more flavour and a sauce. We got the butter chicken and lamb korai for mains which were both good- I enjoyed how sweet the butter chicken was. We got garlic naan and rice which were both great accompaniments. We booked through the Fork and our bill was around £35 which is very good value.

A potentially bad experience turned great! There was a slight issue with my order after ordering online, but the owner was quick to offer a resolution when I collected my food. A great family run restaurant that has been in service for the community for many years. Thank you Taste of Raj! It is all love!

Great food and fast service ,always order from here when I want an Indian 👍

Super clean new place. Best chicken Dumpling in town. Dragon pawn sushi was also very tasty. Even the brownie which is surprisingly very good also. Have to come back again. Thank you guys 🤩

Consistently great food, delivered promptly and with a smile every time! Undoubtedly the best Indian restaurant in Twickenham.

Enjoyed a fabulous Madras here last night. The friendly staff and pleasant environment added to the overall experience.

Had a great meal with family and friends and the staff were very friendly

Last night, our group of seven had a fantastic time, and everyone couldn't stop praising the food! I highly recommend it.

Beautiful decor, attentive staff, delicious food & excellent, extensive menu.

Very nice meal . Service very good.

one of the best Indian meals I've ever had so tasty🙂

We've lived in the area for a year and a half and we've tried at least 6 different curry places trying to find a good one with no luck. Came here for the banqueting night, the food was fantastic and the service was absolutely top tier. They kept our water topped up without us needing to ask, and they were super accommodating. When I asked for the vindaloo extra hot they actually made it as hot as they could! Finally found our new regular spot!

This is my all time favorite Indian Restaurant in Twickenham..I have used it for more that twenty years and apart form the wonderful view of Twickenham Green the staff are friendly, efficient and mostly family..The food is consistently of a high standard..fresh and plentiful even when the restaurant is quiet..perhaps that is because many people use it for take aways too.. Highly recommended Lesley

I Really love this local family run restaurant and have enjoyed fabulous food and service for over 20 years. The food is always freshly cooked, interesting and a consistently high standard with good portion sizes for the hungry. Staff are friendly and helpful.I feel so lucky to have this restaurant so close to my home and with the added bonus of watching the seasons change on Twickenham Green .. over a very good curry.

Me and family come here all the time. Food is always perfect. And staff are always attentive and polite. Especially Emon! If you’re in the area you should definitely give this place a go.

Discovering this place was a gem – they were very accommodating with excellent service. The food was outstanding and beautifully presented. Definitely worth a visit! 👍👍

We enjoyed an excellent meal, and despite the bustling crowd, our wait for the food was pleasantly short.

I recently stumbled upon this wonderful place, and the food is truly authentic – freshly cooked and bursting with flavor. The pricing is more than fair. I've revisited multiple times and have no plans to stop anytime soon.

This spot unquestionably serves the best curry in Twickenham! The BYOB policy is a money-saver, allowing you to indulge in more delicious food. I adore this place.

During a one-off visit, I found the restaurant to be charming, with excellent and very fresh food complemented by good service.

Best ever food awesome service excellent all round great night

Fantastic food and friendly staff very hospitable

Just came back from a lavish £11.99 Sunday Buffet with some friends from the local church! Amazing food as always.All freshly cooked and plentiful. Particularly noteworthy were the chicken and pakora starters and the lamb and saag aloo curries. The best in London! As for the chutneys - all freshly made, they were soo tasty a few of us asked for a take away of them. The service was impeccable. Emon is the perfect host and makes the experience even more delightful. We all (14 of us) left feeling very full and content and planning our next outing there. If you’ve not been there yet, trust me, you just have to go!!! Thank you so much Taste of Raj.

Ordered a couple of times and couldn’t fault anything. Definitely our new go to Indian restaurant. Would 100% recommend.

Brilliant evening. Lovely surroundings. Attentive and friendly staff. Food - Indian food was not my favourite before I visited this restaurant but I changed my mind once I tasted the food here. 😊 xxx

Great food and service! Thank you to the chef for cooking us amazing food! Amazing restaurant! Wish you many more years of success!

Absolutely beautiful curry, the best sag paneer I've ever had and wonderful service. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

I had used another Indian take away for many years but they have gone downhill, someone recommended taste of raj and have now had 4 takeaways from here in 2 weeks, really can't beat it, easily the best Indian food around here.

Service really good & the food is excellent.We will definitely go back again.

Absolutely top-notch! Not just for the delectable cuisine, but they went above and beyond to cater to a party of 12 for my brother's 34th birthday today! Everyone relished the food, and the staff's hospitality was truly exceptional. A solid 5 stars for the fantastic experience at Taste of Raj! Thanks once more.

Highly recomended for eating or takeway .awsome food excellent service & very cheep

We always have an amazing time at the Taste of Raj, lovely welcoming team and great food 5 stars all around

The Taste of Raj was recommended – I used to live close by and it seemed a good idea for a family meet from different locations. It certainly lived up to the recommendation! The food and service was very good. We all agreed it was an ‘old school’ Indian restaurant – small, booths, no fancy nouvelle cuisine stuff, owner serving the food and tasty dishes, good value, too at under £27 per head (no alcohol, though as we’d spent an hour in the Prince Blucher beforehand!). Just like the places we went to when we first started the family Indian meal out idea. Worth a trip to go and we’ll do it again

Very nice and friendly service, chicken and lamb was tender I would go again anytime soon!

I've been and always will be a regular customer at this restaurant. There food is amazing there staff are very friendly

The way they welcomed🫶Loved everything about this place, from the traditional ❤️cozy ambiance to the taste of authentic asian food , I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for richness ❤️in flavours, enlightenment of tastebuds and extraordinary food 🥘 taste 🥰.………….

Excellent service, fantastic food and the draught Cobra was superb. I booked this restaurant on *The Fork* app to celebrate a birthday curry with 2 of my besties and it was class.

I took my elderly disabled Dad out for an early evening meal this evening, as I live 75 miles away and have not lived in the area for 20yrs I was totally out of touch with good places to eat. I visit Dad often and he used to love a good curry, well, we couldn't have asked for a better meal, Dad doesn't walk far or eat much and they catered for him no question, Emon, thank you for your hospitality and being so kind, food honestly was superb, we will be back

Very lovely meal with great tasting food and greater service by the staff. Arshil’s dedication to waiting is unrivalled.

Service is always excellent, and the food is always wonderful. the server emon went above and beyond

Went for a quick meal with my sister on a Monday eve and had a lovely meal! We had the set meal for two and we were served by our attentive waiter Emon who was great at recommending food and drinks! Love this place and we often go back.

Amazing experience. Great food Team are brilliant. Arshil & Emon provided great service and hospitality.

Arshil is a wonderful man, hes kind, respectful and a wonderful person to be around.

A great evening out with delicious food and excellent service (shout out to Arshils and Emon!). Thank you - we will be back!

The only reason for 1 star is my son and I waited over an hr for delivery it was just down the road I had to phone restaurant to ask where it was and if it wasn't hot it was going back lucky it was but still annoyed at long wait

A homely little restaurant, clean environment and great food. Hosted some functions here, staff are friendly and wonderful at accommodating to large parties.

Love the interior design in this place! The perfect place to hold parties/functions. Delicious food, great service and hospitable staff. Will definitely be coming here again.

Another superb evening at the taste of Raj. The team there are amazing and are more like family now. If you haven’t been there you just have to go….and also the food is amazing!!!! Best Restaurant in London!!!! Cheers Brothers! Sav n Maria.

Food was really nice & delicious. Service was good. I can give them 5 ⭐️ anyway

Lovely food and friendly customer service

Best place in twickenham undoubtably. Nicely designed and clean ambiance and mouthwatering food 😋attentive service

Taste of Raj Taste of crap!!! Absolutely bloody awful food Cold, bland and tasteless. Staff were rude, arrogant and Very unfriendly. Plates dirty, cutlery un clean. And the toilets...OMG I've eaten in thousands of restaurants over the years. This is the worst of the worst. Close it down!!!

Excellent restaurant. Very polite staff. Good food, but limited selection.

Lovely food, wonderful atmosphere and welcoming staff.

Very clean, nice and cosy environment, the owner and staff are very welcoming and helpful. The food was exquisite and it’s all halal. I specially liked the location of the restaurant just opposite to Twickenham Green.

Just had a delicious meal and couple of drinks. Well looked after and a lovely welcome x

Another wonderful experience!!, the best Indian restaurant in the local area with excellent service:).. special thanks to Emon and team.

Amazing hospitality by arshil. Very happy to go again

Superb experience yesterday at Taste of Raj. Eamon was first class and the food was nothing of short of amazing. We had the banqueting menu and it was very tasty with amazing sized portions and the food just kept coming. Been to pretty much all the Indian restaurants in Twickenham and this is the best by far. Don’t just take my word for it - try it!

This is the best curry in SW London. Go here.

Best curry in the area by far! The food is so tasty & fresh. The staff are also so friendly & helpful. We wouldn’t order from anywhere else

Last time I order here I ordered the set menu 1 I asked if I could swap the chicken takki for the butter chicken they said yes with no extra charge when i got my order there was no butter chicken and the rest of the meal was horrible I wont be ordering from here anymore

We wandered in here pretty late attempting to grab a few beers. The chap was friendly and welcoming so we had a seat. Then decided we could probably all do a curry. He said the kitchen was still open so we had the works. Enjoyable food. Good variation of curries. He also let us play Depeche Mode thru their sound system all night as we'd just come from the DM gig. A great night was had by all.

Good curry in Twickenham Green. Recommended

Only had takeaway food from her food generally excellent , delivery can be slow. Website does not have all of the menu on it, so often have to ring through order.

Second time we have been here and both time have been fantastic! The service and the food are out of this world! We will visit again!

Great experience what a beautiful curry had with great ambience

Had a fantastic meal in taste of raj with my hubby during my holiday in London lucky enough to find this place

Delious food,very good service. Definitely will be back.
