Tried to order online, however once we got to payment screen it came up with an error message saying the order could not be processed and therefore payment had failed. So we ordered from another restaurant, only to find that ‘The Raj’ had in fact taken the money out of the account, we called the restaurant to inform them of the error on the website and to cancel the order (after all we had now ordered from somewhere else, due to the error message we had recieved) only to have a gentlemen answer the phone very rudely, and argue with us that there wasn’t a problem with his website and then try to give us a sob story after we had explained the situation to him, and yet he still denied there being a problem! Although common sense would make it obvious that if there wasn’t a problem while ordering, we would not have felt the need to have order from somewhere else! Due to this experience alone, I will NOT be ordering from this restaurant again, and I most certainly will NOT be recommending to family and friends!

Not tasted food like it at this restaurant so good, it reminded me way back when I was 20 when I first started eating curries in a restaurant in hampstead, I was hooked straight away the food was outstanding. This restaurant was better. I would describe it as better than the hampstead restaurant. I have been eating curries from the age of 20. I am now 74. The raj is the best curry I have eaten since my hampstead days. I would describe it as the Michelle star of home cooking and the best contemporary India food I have eaten. Thank you for a very pleasant evening spent with you guys 👦 ❤️

We were visiting chippenham on our way back to london from our trip to Bath. This restaurant was very close go the station and we decided to get a take away (4th Indian place in whole of england!!) as we had to take the train in 30min. When we got home after almost 2 hours the food spilled a bit but everything was sooooooo tasty. The price was a lot cheaper compared to anything around my house and had so many rarer options available(one of the recommended dishes had chicken cooked in minced lamb) i wished we could have dined in as the service seemed to be really good too.

We chose this from Trip Advisor and were not disappointed. There was a good selection of dishes some unfamiliar to us. I tried a starter with sardines. There was a busy atmosphere but service was prompt and efficient. All our main courses were good though we did struggle to distinguish a chicken pasanda from a butter chicken - feeling that both were probably the former. Not to worry - a good time had by all!

This was a birthday meal out for my son who is a very fussy eater. We have used this restaurant for many years but this time he was unfortunately given lamb instead of his order preference of chicken. He was disappointed, but the staff managed to bring him a chicken dish after he waited for a while. Then I requested to take home my half a bread and half a dish. I was told there was a £1 charge for this, being the first time I heard of this I agreed anyway. But then, when home, I realised that I was only given half the dish and not half my bread. Instead, my bread was replaced with a bag of browning salad.

Disappointed with our meal when visited recently, food was generally good although the chicken was dry even though in sauces. we took our own drinks on the BYO as we have always done., when the bill arrived we had been charged corkage at £1 per person, their window clearly states no corkage and their website does not mention any corkage charge, if it had been mentioned as we opened our drinks it wouldn't have been too bad and we would not have mind paying it, but to have it appear on the bill with no notification seems deceitful. The manager said it was written on the menus but not one of our party saw it, maybe that was due to the dim lighting! I understand all businesses are suffering at the moment but honesty and transparency goes a long way to keeping clientele, other BYO”s locally don't charge this. Maybe having less staff front of house might save costs,( 5 for approx 30 customers is a bit excessive).

This was a takeaway for two: chingria special and vegetable dhansak with side dishes aloo gobi, brinjal and bhindi bhajees plus rice and bread. Whilst my companion found his chingria special okay, I was distinctly underwhelmed by the dhansak and the side dishes. All were bland, lacking in either heat or spice with the side dishes seemingly all served in the same 'sauce'. Disappointing.

4th best in UK? Dubious at best, but Super friendly waiters, (apart from the grumpy boss guy), and ok food. Not sure I’d place in a prominent position in the window a visit by Boris Johnson, unless you want to deter future customers. Must be a decision by the grumpy guy I guess.

The food is always good, this review is about the experience and how ‘rushed’ and ‘pressured’ it was. On my way back after 2 days working in London, having arrived at the station I went for something to eat before getting a taxi home. I sat down having ordered a drink and within 5 or 6 minutes of sitting down I was asked 3 times if I was ready to order by 3 different staff, which happens every time I’ve been there. Allow people time … I ended up saying “I’ll tell you when I am ready to order” When the food (which was great) arrived and I started eating, instead of being left to enjoy my meal, there was someone hovering by the table, pacing past me every minute or so, again not a relaxing experience. It was made even worse when they started clearing the table, saying ‘are you finished’ as I was still eating, again I had to say something so they left me be until I was finished. A very pressured uncomfortable environment, get them in, get them gone mentality - if you want to go out to relax, then this isn’t somewhere you can do that. It isn’t the first time this has happened, but, despite the good food, it will be the last for me as I won’t be returning there as a result.

The chicken was a bit dry and flavourless - however it was easily tearing. I had korma but the sauce was underwhelming, and there wasn't enough sauce to finish off the rice AND nan, could have done with much more sauce. Other kormas I've had have a much more complex, rich taste rather than a very bland and subtle taste. If visiting again I'd give tikka masala a go instead. The pilau rice was decent. However, they do have mango lassi on offer which is often hard to find, and was very nice. Service was very good, strictly professional. It was very noisy but overall well kept and clean. About £30 each for two drinks, poppadoms, a main, rice and nan.

Terrible curry. Went here for a birthday and it was just a standard British Bangladeshi curry, not Indian. I am guessing that the people of small town Chippenham dont actually know what a good Indian curry is. Dont wate your money on this food. Go to an authentic curry establishment. Hard to find in the UK as most are Bangladeshi and not Indian but they do exist.

I have been a regular at the Raj ever since it opened some years ago. Both service and food quality have steadily risen over the years to the point now where, in my opinion, it is the finest Indian restaurant in the area. The food always tastes fresh and is never greasy or oily; dishes are spiced perfectly, and naan breads are light and fluffy. Portion sizes are also good and particularly generous on takeaway orders. For me though, a really important thing is consistency, and some Indian restaurants can be somewhat 'hit and miss' in this respect; not so with the Raj, where I have come to appreciate my favourite dish tasting just the way I like it on every occasion. There is a delivery service which, in my experience, delivers according to the estimated time they give you, but with a free 'bring your own bottle' scheme I prefer to dine in, experience the atmosphere, enjoy my favourite tipple and best if all... no washing-up at the end of the evening.

Very very disappointing tbh.. We're staying across the road and it looks nice. Decided to try it out last night but my bro and I weren't that hungry. We thought we'd simply share a starter and a main and a dessert.. Simple as.. The waiter couldn't be understood as we tried to order drinks.. I asked what beers they had and he hadn't the foggiest.. Was wearing a mask, so we gave him a pass. Ordered a couple of Pops, as ya do.. Then when it came to order the main... Chicken Jalfrezi with rice and garlic naan, we were told it wouldn't be enough for 2 people.. I'd recently eaten an edible ( medical reasons 😉) ..so was pretty chilled when he came back and said they could make a big one.. I just didn't wanna argue but guys.. THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT... When they brought out the main meal, the chicken was lamb... We complained politely.. The waiter then said... And I still can't believe it.. " oh don't worry.. We'll only charge you for chicken" 🤔🤔🤔🤔😜😜😜😜🤔🤔🤔🤔 We wanted chicken for a reason... We LIKE chicken... "shall I make a new one"? He asked.. We said yes but then got worried it'll take too long and would they put as much care into a second curry knowing they'd fluffed the order.. If ya know what I mean 😉😉😉😜😜😜 We told them we'd stick with the lamb as didn't wanna stay long.. Then another waiter came a completely wiped down our table whilst we were chatting after the main course.. Couldn't even wait till we'd gone... Food was quite tasty but we were put off by the circus of untrained staff.. VERY DISAPPOINTING 3/4 STAR FOOD 1/2 STAR SERVICE. MUST do better.. We should have been comped in a proper restaurant....!!!

Got a takeaway, korma and butter chicken. Both were exactly the same colour, taste, texture. Only difference was the korma had what looked like left over tikka chicken in it. Otherwise both tasted of coconut. The bajis were old, sloppy and smelt odd, almost like coffee and the taste was rank. Our narns, one coconut and one garlic, had no difference in appearance, taste wise one was sweeter than the other.. no garlic hint at all. Rice was dry, again almost old.. very disappointed, will not be ordering again.

Last night we ordered a takeaway for collection. We were told it would be longer if we had a delivery but when my husband went to collect, the delivery was sat in the entrance area. We had previously had a bad experience with ordering takeaway some time ago but decided to try again. Big mistake. The food was barely warm. There was absolutely no flavour in the dishes. Oddly there was cabbage and sprouts in the dishes which just didn't work in our opinion. The mint sauce for the poppadoms had a "sour" taste. 1 of the naan breads was so black from being burnt that it had holes in it. The strange thing is that a month ago I had the same meal in the restaurant and I was upset at not being able to finish it because it was so delicious. Although I will add that the level of noise from one of the tables was unacceptable, rude and offensive due to the bad language. The staff did nothing about it. We were unable to hold a conversation at times because of it. I rang and spoke to someone last night who insisted the food for takeaway was exactly the same as the food served in the restaurant. He apologised and said he would pass the details onto the manager. Unfortunately I do not feel anything will change. Will definitely not be ordering again!

Service was very bad & dirty. One woman does not know how to serve papadoms. Drink & food services are very bad and slow. I took the food in the box, even the dog didn't eat it. The manager no longer works there. We will not go there again.

Got a take away just now. Curry had a layer of oil on top and was cold, rice was cold. Didn’t taste great. Took 1.5, close to 2 hours to deliver the food. If you’re going to be that late make the food good at least 😭 the delivery driver was very nice, at least.

Served us at 10:26 on a rainy Sunday night after our train was delayed. Everything else closed except for them. Food good too!
