The Days of the Raj in Newcastle upon Tyne

Food is really nice and service was spot on. Will be back again. Price was reasonable.

The first time I came here, The smell was .. questionable? The food was good , but the chicken was not that cooked , so it was half raw. There also wasn’t that many food for kids and the chicken nuggets were the only ones my brother liked. Plus the food was VERY EXPENSIVE , around 55 quid just for a people of four. Could improve , but overall Not bad but not good.

Was looking forward to the food tonight as it was good 3 weeks ago .we ordered chicken bhuna and chicken madras Very poor..both dishes were effectively chicken and gravy.....no spice whatsoever

Overall a dissapointment. I was looking forward to trying here for a few weeks. Ordered a takeaway for the first time and the food was tasty but we ordered a vindaloo that had no spice to it whatsoever. It could've been a pasta sauce. Unsure if the chef had forgot to add any chilli but regardless it was a let down and spoiled the meal when it was our only curry.

Nice meal which was delivered quickly. Food arrived hot & there was plenty of it. Enjoyed by all diners.

Used DOTR for a long time but the Jalfrezi I had on Saturday was the best for a long long time. Thanks lads.

Food very good. Not too busy. No drinks licence, so take your own or buy from a nearby store

Enjoyed a lovely meal here. Very tasty and well presented. Service was faultless. The restaurant is extremely clean and prices were very reasonable. Would recommend.

Had a delivery of lamb pasanda & chilli chicken. Both really nice with the garlic & coriander nann bread. Only thing was the nann could've been hotter.

excellent service 10 out of 10

Ordered a Chicken Tikka Korai and cheese naan takeaway. Curry was gorgeous, was pleasantly surprised. Super flavourful, big portion and easily enough for two. They should have warned that it is quite spicy! But luckily I like my spice. The restaurant it self seems to have had a facelift. Looks great inside. The Last Days of the Raj has been around for decades. I believe management changed hands earlier this year. It’s the no nonsense traditional old school style Indian/Bangladeshi restaurant with a few modern hits. We’ll be back!

Amazing food. Ordered munchie box on just eat was very good value!

I have used this restaurant for a number of years, but what an improvement since it changed ownership. The service is first class and the food, well it was the best butterfly king prawn my wife has ever had. The rice is fluffy and well cooked, and the side dish of bombay aloo, with sag, was equally tasty. The lamb tikka starter was succulent and tasty. My madras was well spiced and flavoursome, with lots of chicken, complimented by a very tasty sauce. The boss has promise a large pack pepper, mill, just to add that little bit more. We will return.

Saturday night, just home from travelling, was hungry and ordered on the off chance, having not ordered from here before. It was the best paneer I ever had, it turned up on time, piping hot, lovely flavours. Thank you!

Fantastic- will order again for sure!

missing multiple items however.

This place in under new management now. The take aways are still good and delivery is very quick. The restaurant now is alcohol free but they are happy for you to bring your own and don't have a corkage charge (the garage next door at the time of writing has a deal for 2 large bottle of cobra for £5). The food is still very good and the service is absolutely excellent with all the staff very friendly and professional. Great place.

Ordered Chicken Balti and prawn balti was delivered. Called the restaurant straight away, left a voicemail. No one got back to me. Raised the issue with Just Eat. Complete waste of a meal with no main dish!

Excellent food quality and it was ready for collection immediately on arrival, handed to me by friendly staff. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Curry container lid was not on properly. When food arrived all the curry spilled out of the container when I tried to lift it out of the bag and ruined the whole meal.

Not up to the usual high standard and quality

Second time ordering, lovely quality tasty food good price. Definitely recommend

First time ordering from here and the food was really great and roasting hot when I got it home. Staff were lovely when I went in to collect. Will be making this the new go to.

visiting Newcastle staying at air b@b close to restaurant. A little put off by previous comments but mew ownership so decided to try. best decision ever made - first class decor, lovely atmosphere, great waiters and the food to die for. Seriously the best Indian restaurant in the north east and as a fan of indian food I've been to many. do yourself a favour and try it - you can even bring your own drink which saves on the bill. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Absolutely gorgeous! Best in a long time. Like angels crawling all over your tongue!

Worst Indians I’ve ever had. It was swimming in grease and the bitter chicken had no taste. the chicken wasn’t fresh it was chewy which was fine as we only got 5 small pieces. Wouldn’t order again

This is the first time we have visited The days of the raj, despite living locally, it certainly won’t be the last! The restaurant has a lovely vibe and ambience, the two waiters who served us were incredibly polite, efficient and helpful. The menu is great, with lots of choice and very reasonably priced. Food was absolutely delicious, the perfect temperature and very well presented. The onion bhajis were to die for!! We also loved how they allow you to bring your own alcohol. We can’t wait to return!

Main was bad - fish was chewy. Everything else was ok

Delivery late foid cold notcgoid enough i should have some sort of refund please

Our regular go to Indian restaurant for nights out with friends or family meal with kids Huge range of food including staple traditional curries plus house specialties We loved the mid week banquet offers and took the chance to try random options we’d never normally go for . Always made a fuss of the children and gave them sweets !

Food was late but was worth the wait it was delicious

Nicest food I’ve had in a long time a1garageDOORS

The Days Of The Raj has always been a good restaurant, but the management has recently changed and it's even better! Every dish I've had so far has been delicious, and the staff are great.

Cheap frozen kebab meat from Iceland disgusting went in the bin will not be ordering anything from here again

Excellent quality food at a reasonable price. and a friendly delivery driver

Another 5 star meal from the Raj. Excellent quality food delivered on time and piping hot

Amazing food! Friendly delivery driver! Recommend..

The new owners have introduced ‘Feast For All’ on a Thursday and Sunday, we live reasonably locally and thought we would give it a go, it’s cheap enough what have we got to loose and no corkage on the wine you bring in….. winner winner! Well it certainly was a winner, although not busy and early Isr Su day evening, the food was really good, the service was attentive but not intrusive, the banter with the staff was good too, all in all a really good experience. For those locals who were out off by the last ownership, give it a go, you and your taste buds will not regret it.

My son recommended this restaurant. he said it was the best Indian restaurant in the area. I pre-ordered a meal. the meal arrived 30 minutes late. the food was cold on arrival. the quality of the food was terrible. The Butter chicken was bland and had no taste. the onion bhaji.s were cold and rock hard you couldn't cut them with a sharp knife. Nan was like rubber. Very disappointed with this restaurant and will never order from here again

The food was delicious and the new staff are very friendly. It’s a massive improvement now it’s under new management. Keep up the great work, I’ll 100% be back

Wow!! Where do I start?! Chicken tikka Madras with mushroom pilau and naga chips. The chicken tikka was very tender and tasty. The Madras sauce was outstanding and the instruction for extra garlic in the sauce was met!! The naga chips were absolutely amazing; crispy, tasty and not crazy hot!! This is a place I'll 100% return too and look forward to sitting in for a meal very soon! Thank you to the kind staff and the brilliant chefs 👨‍🍳

Top quality and very tasty. First time ordering and won’t be my last! Five Star!

First time I’ve ordered from here and it will certainly not be the last!

Always good! Have changed the menu but still found a fav!

I ordered raj special starter with chicken chicken madras as main the food was absolutely fantastic yet again thank you

Delivery was very quick and the driver was friendly. The chicken madras was very tasty with fresh coriander added. Pilau rice with peas and peshwari naan were very good too. Will definitely order from here again, when we are in the area

Lovely but the king prawns were cut into small bits and others stringy, would prefer to have full king prawns

Absolutely beautiful food thank you

Ordered a delivery, waiting time was good, around 45 mins to an hour which given it was an England match I thought was excellent. Slight issue with our mains whereupon our vegetable dish had meat in it but I have to say they were amazing about this and quick to put it right, another dish turned up within 10 minutes. Extremely tasty dishes, loads of flavour, plenty spice where you needed it and great quality. Have to say the management takeover is working and this has now become an excellent Indian. Delicious with great staff and service.

Place is legendary, great deals, great service and great food.

absolutely fantastic food....and it 5 stars from me

delivery took longer than expected but the food was incredible!!! it was worth the wait

Delivered early which was great and the food was absolutely delicious

Takeaway ordered via Justeat. Delivery was approx 45 mins late but it was well worth the wait! Every dish was incredible, very flavoursome. Delivery driver very apologetic too. Will order again.

We had a meal at the Days of Raj. It has recently been taken over. The new owners are currently modernising the restaurant. Food is excellent and the service is very attentive. They no longer have a licence which I see as a benefit as you can take your own alcohol. If you didn’t you can pop next door to the garage and buy some. We will be back

Ordered the set meal for 2 to take out. Food was hot, service was great, quick and efficient. Food was a big disappointment, everything was just so very very bland! Chicken Korma sauce was delicious. Chicken on the otherhand was very dry. Onion bhaji was oily but also very dry. Tikka side- again Chicken was dry and pretty bland, onions tasted great, nice and crunchy. Lamb bhuna- bland, bland, bland. On a positive the lamb was cooked perfectly, so was a shame. Keema naan- cooked well but couldn't taste any keema what so ever. Aloo gobi- potato cooked well, sauce again was bland. Had been here a few month ago, and the food was amazing, so full of spices and flavour. Now not so much.

Hadn’t tried this place in a while but it is under new ownership. The food is delicious and excellent quality. Great portion sizes too. Will be using this as our regular for Indian now

We tried again recently since under new ownership. Had chicken tikka bhuna and a chicken sag to share with lemon rice. Both were delicious. Really fresh, just the right amount of spice. The lemon rice was refreshing and tasty. We have had take away and sat in. We usually get take away here but sitting in was a nice experience too… the staff are lovely warm and friendly. It has a very traditional feel to the restaurant which is rare these days and we liked. Only thing to be aware of is they don’t sell alcohol anymore in the restaurant but you can bring your own.

Amazing best Indian I’ve had since moving here the service was friendly it was on time and the taste was out of this world the chicken tikka masala was so nice the chicken was tender the sauce was full of flavour and just the right level of spice I couldn’t pick any fault out of anything I’ll definitely be back and I’ll definitely be eating in aswell Great work

The best Indian in Gosforth. Delicious food and top quality service.

Order was very late, when I rang to ask where the food was the person on the end of the phone was rude, made excuses that they were busy. Terrible service. Won’t be ordering from here again.

Lovely, best I’ve had in ages. Keep up the good work 🙂

it was lovely a bit warm .. but being an hour late is understandable ...garlic chicken was fantastic as was chicken rogan only thing missing was the onion bhaji ..but will still get my takeaway from here

Lovely meal out. I had a shami kebab and chicken danzak plus some rice and naan. All out plates were empty at the end which is always a good sign. You also take your own drinks and there is a shop next door in case you don’t realise. Good times.

best indians I have had for a while food hot nice portions will definitely be my indians from now on

Well we’re do I start, food was late , cold , missing starters , rice was runny had not been drained properly. Was looking forward to meal but all I got was a big disappointment

Ordered a masala and lamb shashlik, both meals were lovely nann bread was cooked perfect and the garlic chips are the dogs nuts! Foods really nice would definitely order from here.

Lovely food and charming staff. Doesn't look much from the outside, but pass through the beautiful stained glass and brass door upstairs into a great atmosphere for dinner.

New owner made myself and my wife feel right at home. Great service fantastic food. Will definitely be back again soon.

The food was wonderful. The service was very polite and helpful. Definitely will be going back.

Ordered food at 6pm. to be delivered for 6.45pm. Arrived at 7.45pm 1 hour late. Cold also with items missing from starter. Very disappointing.

One of our starters was missing but food was delicious!

Food was absolutely beautiful. portion sizes are always fantastic and all at a great price. the chicken chaat is always my favourite so we always have to include it when we order. friendly service when going to collect and spoke to my son giving him a lolly. our favourite Indians around here

Good food, although slight error on order. We ordered chicken pakora and vegetable samosa were delivered. Otherwise very nice

We fancied an Indian and saw Day or Raj online just down the road from where we were staying. Friendly staff, food was absolutely delicious. Reasonable prices for Indian food. Very happy. Thank you 😊

Sag aloo received instead of sag paneer. In general lacking in flavour. Disappointed.

Possibly the worst service I’ve ever had the displeasure to receive. Ordered online for delivery at 6:30. At 7:30 it arrived and it was just warm enough to eat. Excuse of vehicle breakdown I can honestly say it’ll be an experience I won’t be revisiting. The worst service and quality I’ve ever had. Avoid at all costs.

lovely food hot and delicious will definitely use again

mixed up one of my mains I ordered chicken tikka masala but got chicken tikka dansak. And had already ordered a Chicken Dansak. both tasted very nice as usual. but bit of Dansak overload. But still my go to Indian restaurant.

Went with family. Nice service, kids menu available. Food was great. Nice to get lollies and after eights at the end with the wipes.

Amazing, used loads since, food was so so nice

Have been a few times, brilliant staff, great food Strongly recommend 10/10

Really helpful staff the food was excellent aswell be going there again when I'm back in gosforth

Highly recommend this place. You probably drive past and dont really notice it but try it someday. Someday soon. Lovely atmosphere. Nice warm welcome. Comfortable. Polite and accommodating staff. Reasonably priced. Beautiful food served in a very acceptable time. Staff check in to see if you need anything but it's not invasive like some places. I have nothing but praise for this place. Try it ASAP!

Food is always amazing and always hot when delivered, we order from here all the time

Always great food! Nice veggie options too

Delicious food, generous portion size and arrived earlier than expected.

Food usually missing or cold just made an order and cancelled for no reason.

Food usually cold or missing just had an order cancelled for no reason. Would avoid if you don’t want to be disappointed

Beautiful food as always. Tiny mess up with being sent the wrong meal which was quickly rectified. The only down side is I think the delivery man on Sunday night (6th) has given my Husband COVID! :(

Ordered thru Just Eat Easy mistake was made, but they were great and fast at fixing it. Definitely recomend

Great for any occasion. We we're made to feel very welcome and looked after from start to finish. The meal was amazing and very reasonably priced. I would definitely revisit again.

The best in Newcastle. So happy to live nearby.

Ordered a take out all the food was horrible throu the the hole meal away what more can I say if they wanna respond and explain that would be grate

Chicken quantities were small. Madras was bland. Disappointed.

My favourite Indian restaurant/ delivery in the area. Food is always tasty and generous portions. And always hot on delivery.

Nice hot tasty food, however missing 1 naan bread from the order.

Lovely place to celebrate mine and my partners first anniversary,great food,nice atmosphere,staff looked after us well,thankyou

Food quality and portions were decent, would definitely use again.

Part of the order missing. Wrong items in the bag. Prawn vindaloo was terrible lots of sauce very few prawns and a big lump or half cooked potato. Delivered way earlier than advised it would be and never received a notification to say it was on its way. Will not be using this place again.
