We went here as a family both last week and the week before. The sizzling platter starters were delicious and the meat on them was juicy and freshly cooked. All the starters we had were delicious and served with a fresh side salad. There was a good selection of dishes to choose from on the menu. The speciality curries we chose were very tasty. We would highly recommend the Chicken Sulthaney and the Garlic Chilli Chicken, two dishes that were new to us but we all loved the taste of. The service was excellent, friendly and not rushed. Everywhere was clean and tidy.

I just had a Tikka Rogan Josh from The Raj and it was absolutely beautiful. The chicken was infused, tender and perfectly cooked and the naan was soft and also perfectly cooked. I don't usually do online reviews but felt moved to do so after that meal. They prove that they are, unfortunately, the exception to the rule, these days. I definitely recommend them.

"Chicken pakora starter 1.5 pieces of chicken Onion bhajis looked like they had been carved from the foot of an elephant, only the front two feet though as there was only 2 bhajis in the portion. The curry was tasteless and had more oil than a Saudi sheikh. The garlic naan was up there with the worst naan bread i have had and the garlic paste on it resembled baby sick. Collection time was 20 mins after said. Staff were friendly enough. All around poor experience food wise, they need to up there game if they want to compete with alot better curry houses in golcar. Disappointed to say the least. Also 80p per poppadom? Whats that all about.

I have frequented this restaurant many times ever since it started up but will never order from them again - there standards have dropped significantly recently - I live within 30 yards of this takeaway and ordered enough for free delivery - the food had not arrived after over a hour so I phoned them and was told they were sorry but the delivery man had had a flat tyre - I told him they didn't need a car as I was straight across the road only to be told "I'm not walking across the road with it!" I admit to using expletives at his response but I expect better than this - business's should go out of there way to attract repeat customers right now but this company relies only on passing trade now it seems.

I am a regular takeaway customer from The Raj as the food is always delicious, super affordable and a wide selection available. The only downside to the takeaway service is that they are not always on time when collecting the takeaway. I have also visited The Raj restaurant for a casual meal, again delicious food & extremely affordable. However the restaurant decor is very dated. (not a problem for me personally - as long as it’s clean and the food & service is great)! :)

Great food; I always start with 2 poppadoms and the pickle tray. Main course I had a delicious Chicken Bhuna with a plain naan. Great service; Didn't have to wait long for our meal meal. Our waiter was attentive and nothing was too much trouble for him. My friend asked for coriander with his plain naan (even though it wasn't on the menu) to which the waiter said it was fine. We will definitely be visiting here again soon and will recommend to our friends.

The mixed starter comes on a sizzling skillet which is great but it burns the samosas and spring rolls, they end up black. Main course, vey tasty, fresh garlic naan. Good service, good food

I asked the waiter what was on this...told everything. I specifically asked if haddock and seekh kebabs were on it and told yes. When it arrived...very slightly sizzling there were 2 very small pieces of chicken tikka, 2 chicken wings,2 very skinny chicken pakoras, 2 half pieces of onion bhaji and 2 pieces of potato?...on a bed of virtually raw onions,very disappointing. Mixed karahi consisted of 2 chewy prawns, 2 pieces of fatty lamb and 4 pieces of chicken tikka. Sauce was nice enough. Chicken madras sauce was like glue, chicken was nice. Rice mediocre. Peshwari naan was the saving grace....that was lovely and crispy on the outside one of the best i have had. When we got the bill we had been charged 3.40 for 2 popadoms!!! I did manage to get this knocked off. When we left the place had filled up and people were genuinely enjoying the food. Maybe we made poor choices but we wont be going back when there are so many good indian restaurants to choose from

We do go to The Raj on a regular basis, the food and service are always good, lamb chops would be a good addition to the menu. They have no alcohol licence so you need to take your own which isn't a bad thing, there is a petrol station nest door so you don't have far to go for more supplies.

We recently attended this restaurant as a party of 12 on a Saturday evening at 6.00pm. The restaurant quickly filled up and stayed busy all the time we were there. The starters are very average, but the mains are fantastic, tasty without being too hot to enjoy. The naan breads, especially the garlic ones, are out of this world and are worth going for on their own! The restaurant is next to a reasonable car park, so street parking is not necessary. The service was a bit slow and we had to wait for the food probably a bit longer than we would like, but at least that shows that the food is prepared to order! This restaurant is well worth the effort it takes to find it, and is fantastic value for money.

Great staff make you feel very welcome and the food is always of a good standard. It's got no drinks licence but not to worry just take your own, if you forget this there is a petrol station right next door that sells wines, beers and ciders. It's a varied menu but a few additions would be nice as it's been the same for years. Used to get cold in winter but hopefully that's now been addressed. People don't like to be cold and that would certainly put me off but as it was April when I last went, this I don't know? Be warned the food can be a bit spicy so unless you like Mega heat have a word when ordering. Once had a vindaloo and my word it was Mega hot! Nice though but it did beat me.

I recently visited the Raj for a family meal, we were booked in for 6pm, and on arrival found the place very cold, however we put a heater on nearby and it soon started to warm up. We initially ordered some poppadoms and pickle trays for the table, the poppadoms arrived promptly but we had to chase twice for the pickle trays. We ordered starters which were all very nice with no complaints on that front. Mains again arrived in a reasonable time and were ok in my opinion but nothing special. The bill arrived and very reasonable it was too, there was 9 adults and 2 children all fed for around £110. I guess all in all the Raj is reasonable you can bring your own drinks, and get reasonable food for a budget price. Will we visit again, I would say if invited there then yes.

Well I'm a bit of a wimp so I'm probably not the best person to rate curry but my other halfs family are up in Scotland and when he goes back home he has to take back a curry for everyone because they reckon there is nowhere up wher they live that do a decent curry and that The Raj curries are always lovely. I went this evening with family and really enjoyed what I had, lamb Makhani, I'm a bit of a wuss and can't cope with spicy food but this was lovely and I have to say that their Garlic Naans are the best I have ever had from anywhere, they are gorgeous, We used to take my mum when she was alive and they always used to make a fuss of her, made my mums day and bless her she didn't have a big appetite so never ate it all but she loved it, we've always been treated really well and gotten to know the staff over the years, always come away feeling stuffed!

We visited friends in Golcar this weekend, and they suggested we tried a curry from the petrol station! Not as strange as it sounds, as we found out.Its what used to be the car show rooms next to the petrol station so its easy to identify. When we went inside we were warmly welcomed and seated straight away. After a 3 1/2 hour drive in terrible traffic we were tired and hungry,faced with a large menu we went with a buffet style option. Starter, main, sides, and coffee. £11.95 each. we asked the waiter to chose the mains. We had a skillet I think, between us for starters.Wings, Barjis, Samosa, ect on a hot skillet with salad. This was after popadoms and pickles. Then 4 curry dishes, 2 Chicken and 2 Lamb. I now there was Lamb and chick peas and Chicken and spinich, not sure what the other 2 were. 2 rice garlic nan and chappatis. After a large starter, we thought this was a lot of food! We shared all the dishes, and they were all very very good. And there was not a tiny bit left!.After that we had coffee and tea. The staff were very helpful and came round and checked if we needed any thing else, more food more coffee or tea but they were not pushy. We left well fed and very satisfied. You can also take your own drinks or buy them there. We will go again without fail. They also do take aways!

The Raj is actually our local restaurant, so we go very often, but we went for a change to usual Christmas traditional lunch on Christmas Day. Nothing was too much for the staff, we could all choose our starters and mains, and sweets were on a serve yourself basis. We went with the family and friends, and everyone, including the children really enjoyed it. Excelent value at £22, cheaper for the children and added bonus of taking our own drinks and chapagne.

The food was tasty, staff very friendly and excellent value for money. You can take your own alcohol and for starter and main for two it only costs about 25 pound. It's a great night out and relaxed atmosphere.

As is the norm over the past number of years, we headed to the Raj. The place was packed but we didn't have to wait long for our table. Whilst ordering, the owner asked if I would like to try a curry that wasn't on the menu. He remembered that this is what I did the previous year. We ordered the usual starters curries and sundries and everything was excellent. My 'special' curry was outstanding. The overall cost was £25-00 per couple which was outstanding value. (you bring your own alcoholic drinks). I understand that everyone has their own favourite curry house but The Raj really is a restaurant serving good food, providing excellent service at very reasonable prices

Don't be put off by this restaurant being attached to a service station. The whole experience is quirky, friendly, and swift. If you want alcohol to drink, you pop next door to the garage for it! Haaaa. Excellent. The place is clean, the staff are friendly, the portions are good, and the curry is exceptionally good. If there is something special you want, the guys there will do it for you if they can. I've been there a few times now and it's fast becoming one of my favourite places.

Went to the Raj on a cold wet Tuesday night, it wasnt busy so the service was especially quick and efficient. Seekh Kebabs for starter cooked to perfection along with a tender lamb jalfrezi they added chick peas and spinach at my request, fantastic taste, top curry and great service.I am surprised that this place is not rammed full every night of the week.I would advise booking on a Friday and Saturday as we have missed out before by not booking in advance.Good Curry, lots of choice, Very Good Price, Great Service what more do you want this is not a fancy place just great value for money, take your own alcoholic drink as they dont have a license !

As a family we've eaten at the Raj since it opened and at Solos before that, Solo and Gaf are both great hosts, but the thing we go for is the food! I live away from the area most of the year, but the food I always eat on my return is from the Raj, i have it served Asain style and I'm never disappointed. My favourite is Fish Khari, closely followed by Lamb Sag . The interior decorations have just been completed and look good, but my advice is if you want a great curry tell them how you like it and you will become a convert like me

Ive never had a bad curry at the Raj, when we do visit we always enjoy the curries immensely. I've tried several different mild ones as I prefer them and have to say the Lamb Passanda is the tastiest mild curry I have ever had. I've tried them from other curry houses and they don't come close! They also do them to take away which is a massive bonus for me, although occasionally on the take aways they miss something out which is annoying! Can't fault the food here or the service.

Been to the Raj a couple of times, such a shame there is a petrol station right next to it, always put me off slightly knowing that i'd come out to the smell of petrol fumes.The curries here are top quality, on both occasions we have visited it has been fairly quiet and the service has been excellent. The waiter always has a smile and is very knowledgeable and helpful with my 'weak' tounge when it comes to curries.Wasn't aware the first time that you had to bring your own alcohol but with the petrol station next to it selling some we were allowed to nip out and purchase someOnly problem is they dont accept card but will not stop me coming again in the future

Dined at the Raj tonight with my best friends Diane and Robert and good friend Jenny, our food is always cooked just how we like it. Portions are just right including a lovely pickle tray. The thing I love most about this venue is that the staff and the food is always at its best and I would always recommend it to all my friends and family. Tonight Raj you have done us all proud again. Many Thanks and cannot wait to see you again. Luv Laura.

I've been going to the Raj for about seven years now. I go once a week with family. Now it's not the Ritz, but I go to the Raj for a good curry and that is what I get! The food is good, nothing is too much trouble, if you fancy something different, just ask and the staff will do everything they can to assist. The place isn't licenced so you can bring your own beer/wine. The garage next door is always open if you forget to bring some. This place got some bad publicity a number of yeas ago, but the regular customers stood by the place and it now proudly displays its 5 star hygene rating.Give it a go, its down to earth value for money!

The Raj serves the best Jalfrezi I have ever had, make sure you ask for it 'Asian style' to get the full experience! The staff are very friendly, chatty and the service is excellent. Ok the surroundings are not those of an overpriced curry house in Leeds or Bradford but you should see past that. Bring your own beer or pop next door to the garage, if you're not drinking alcohol the soft drinks are very cheap. The menu isn't extensive but you can always ask them to tweak dishes and I even asked for a pathia which wasn't on the menu but they happily made. You can easily eat for less than a tenner each and have change from that!We moved away from the area a while ago but still travel back to eat here.A great little curry house.

Nothing wrong with this place but nothing special either, take your own drinks and get a good feed for a tenner or so. Pleasant staff and nicely laid out tables, lighting a bit gloomy though, my wife couldn't see to read the menu! Worth a visit if you're in the area but don't go specially.

My only reason for not 5* in this place is there so quick,no other takeaway says an hour an turns up in 20mins. Like how can they be so fast maybe they have these dishes prepped as they are a restaurant. Other times I've just finished paying online and theres the familiar knock of the driver. The lamb tikka and the wraps are great if you want something quick and easy. The food quality has been VGood an I've taught the staff not to put salad an coke in with hot food😆

I've been going every week now for about 4 months ( grope of 6 friends). Trying loads of different dishes has been excellent so far. It's worth a visit
