This Indian used to be amazing. We popped in and ordered a takeaway yesterday at 6pm. The onion bajis were re fried and not edible they were so dry i can only imagine they had cooked previously and put in fridge or freezer and the deep fried again and again. The Balti was VERY salty I hope this is a one off bad day but I personally will never give it a 2nd chance.

By far the best Indian restaurant in Billericay and probably Essex. Great staff and the food is always top class. Special night on Sunday to Tuesday starter, main, side dish plus rice or bread all for £15.99 you can’t go wrong. I’m boring and usually have the same dish and it’s always the same constantly very good, not like some restaurants where dishes taste differently on each occasion

My first visit to the Raj, or its predecessors, in many decades of living in Billericay. We ate as a party of four and we particularly enjoyed the seclusion of a booth for four people. Service was very attentive, but not intrusive. Papadums and dips vary little between Indian restaurants so no comparison there. I particularly enjoyed my chicken tikka biryani (served with rice and a side dish of a very good creamy vegetable curry) and both types of naans that we ordered. We felt no pressure to leave after eating resulting in a nice leisurely evening out with friends. Spotting this was a Birthday celebration, the manager offered a drink on the house at the end (which we declined, but we thought it was a particularly nice touch). Good car parking options (free after 6pm) in the car park.

A freezing cold night and this place was full to capacity - first time here so this was an encouraging sign. We hadn’t booked and got lucky that a table was just being vacated. It was cleared and we were seated quickly. Considering how busy it was, table service was prompt and starters (popadoms/pickles) arrived quickly - and were fresh and tasty. The mains were the most right sized portions I think I’ve had at a curry house - usually a piece too much/little chicken, sauce and rice, but I finished the plate(s) and felt comfortably full. Would recommend and will be returning.

I don’t normally write reviews but we thought we’d try the high street rather than driving to maldon for our Indian, it’s quite dark in there and the walls need a paint the warmers were rusty their trolly was full of mess under the food? The food was very salty infact that’s all I could taste. Nothing to write home about, we wouldn’t return.. saying that it was packed in there?

First visit and really enjoyed the food. 2 of us went for the £15 three course offer. Starter, main, side and sundries for that value is excellent. You'll have to pay the extra for a lot of the dishes, especially chef specialities, but it's still great value. Service was a little slow, but I think we were being delayed by a big group order ahead. The restaurant was busy and had a pleasant atmosphere, a little loud for conversation at times. Overall the food was the highlight, excellent curry and great value for money. Restaurant needs a little TLC here and there, but I shall be back again!

Had a table booked for 8pm for 12 people. We Arrived at 8 to be told to wait 15 minutes. We understood and waited for our table to be ready. At 8:15 we asked when it would be ready to be told a table is just finishing. When looking over they had just been given menus. we received a round of drinks after complaining that we had been left to just wait. After 45 minutes we still was just left to one side and as you can imagine we was getting more and more frustrated. To then be sat on a 8 seater table so 4 of our party could not even be sat. We ended up walking out due to them constantly lying when it turns out that the staff sat people on our table at 7:30 just so they can get more money. They didn’t apologise and was very unhelpful don’t recommend booking the raj joke of staff.

Had a very pleasant evening at the Raj, service was very attentive and quick, as soon as we were seated we we offered drinks and popadoms and and shortly after our order was taken. Food arrived promptly, was piping hot and tasted delicious. Only grip was the closeness of the tables, we were enjoining our evening until a table of four were seated next to us and it kind of killed our evening as their conversation drowned out ours, tables need to be spaced further apart… Overall it’s a great restaurant.

I’ve eaten in & had a take away this month & both, as always, were delicious! The flavour of every dish is distinct which I don’t always find is the case with Indian restaurant food. Our favourites are chicken shashlik, tikka biryani, passanda & madras. The peshwari naan is light, fluffy & mouth watering. We always find the service friendly & attentive. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Well having been been to the raj some four years ago,vowing never to return,due to miserable staff,food that had been frozen or rather defrosted by microwave,it was only a chicken tikka masala not a difficult meal,it was awful,the sauce was thick as is usual when defrosted,the chicken was hard to find then having to be served by a miserable moustached guy,who cleary has become a celeb for his lethargy, glad we never went back as things have not changed, still remember that awful place.

I really hope its because it was a busy night with it being valentine's and we ordered a takeaway but this is genuinely the worst Indian cuisine we have ever had but also the most expensive. Thankfully, I paid in cash for the discount, otherwise would have paid over £50 for not very good food. The rice was flavourless - both coconut and pilau. How can you have flavourless coconut rice? My prawn puri was ok. Nothing to write home about. Lacked flavour but ok. My prawn curry was swimming in so much oil it sploshed on and stained my white counter tops. Not many prawns. Too much sauce and again no flavour. Salt was lacking across the board. Despite reading back the order three times my partner ended up with mushrooms instead of Bombay potatoes. I like mushrooms but these again were flavourless. My saag bhaji was oily. Butter chicken was just ok. There is nothing worse than calorific food that tastes bad. Way too expensive for what it was. After eating from two of the best Indian restaurants in Stoke Newington - Royal India and Tiffin Box, I've been disappointed by the offering in Billericay so far. On the basis of this experience I'll be avoiding takeaway unless its fish and chips. Positives: The staff were friendly and I was given a rose upon pick up. Poppadoms were lovely. Rather luminous green (yogurt?) sauce, I couldn't quite make out was ok. Basic raita would have sufficed. The peshwari naan was also good - sadly the best part of the meal for me. My son liked his Mutter Paneer. Peas were substituted for chick peas.

The service is always spot on at The Raj. Very attentive and informative staff help you get what you want, and the service is always fast. There's nothing worse than waiting around for your food! The food itself is flavoursome, piping hot, tasty, and the portion size is generous. Fantastic selection of dishes to suit everyones taste buds, from mild to incredibly spicy and everything in between. There is also a good selection of beers, wines, and spirits to help wet the pallette. The atmosphere is always lively, and the restaurant is almost always very busy during the evenings. Parking is literally on the doorstep and with The Raj being situated right near the middle of the High Street, you can even choose to continue the night at a pub, bar or club afterwards. I have visited this restaurant many times, with a group of friends, or just me and the wife. Will happily return.

Have to say I don't think I've ever had a disappointing meal from this fine establishment. Tried them on my journey home once from Essex to central London and have actually moved locally and glad I have as this is our weekly family treat. Food is top quality and just packed full of flavour credit to the chef for the jalfreizi and tikka masala. Perfect food, perfect service and very reasonably priced in my opinion. Definitley recommend to all to try them!
