The Raj in Ards

My favourite Indian food takeaway in Comber and Ards area. Friendly staff and reasonably priced. The decor in the dining area of the restaurant is basic but the food more than makes up for it. There is no corkage charge for our own wine so it is a very reasonably priced dining experience. I have always received a small complimentary Bailey's each time I have dined there. Looking forward to my next visit with friends

The food here (at least what I got) was great and quite tasty. The staff could sometimes have a better attitude when interacting with the customers (they can sometimes be dry with the customers). The atmosphere can be quiet sometimes, but the place is spaced out well and doesn't feel cramped, which is good. Now, however, I have heard over the past few years since the pandemic, that the food is way too overcooked or sometimes undercooked, that the rice often feels like its been re-used or overcooked more than once. I haven't had anything to complain about with their food so far from my experience. But I'm not denying that it's true, hopefully they have improved everything since then.

Real nice fresh food !! 1st time ordering from here and its 1 of the best nice friendly staff too! Will be ordering again!!! ;) A ***** ty!

Best Indian food in County down. And very keenly priced.

Good quality Indian restaurant. I either take away or have delivered without any issues. Online app is clear and easy to use with delivery within the hour. Dishes all as expected, arriving hot and without mishap / mess. Ratio of meat/ veg and sauce seems about right at the prices listed.

Always enjoy our meals at the Raj.

Take away delivered for my wife and I, arrived piping hot and everything was so tasty. We have been ordering from the Raj for 30 years and have rarely been disappointed. Best Indian restaurant in Comber, possibly the best in NI! Thanks again for a fantastic meal.

The food is brilliant but the service is unpredictable and orders are often very slow. On multiple occasions we have had to phone after our order being over an hour late.

Great menu...delicious food...friendly staff...highly recommended...

Food excellent as always they need to employ more staff 3 people waiting for carryout not good going from kitchen to serving tables.

Nice meal ...generous portions. Food served in a timely manner... and obviously freshly cooked. A definite favourite place to go at the weekend...

People swear by this Indian, they do amazing lamb rogan josh that’s done with a layer of cream. Free popadums. The price isn’t too expensive and it’s nice inside. It’s one of the oldest Indians established in the 80s.

Food fantastic as always. The staff are polite helpful and nothing is too much trouble always with a smile. The toilets possibly could do with an update.

Definitely the best Indian in comber the decor isn't anything to write home about but definitely the place to go if you're lookin good grub

Ordered online over just-eat. The restaurant didnt process my order, and it took me ringing to see what was wrong for the food to be cooked, it took 2 and a half hours for the food to arrive. And when it did it was only lukewarm. This was a total shame, as the spicing and flavour was quite good. But overall very let down by the service.

Change of ownership since I last visited, but the fresher decor has brightened the place. Abdul the waiter, made us all welcome working on his own. It is hit or miss with customers through the week, but busy at weekends. My Chat purie was tasteful and main meal being a balti chicken tikka was only a 2star for those that arent into hot spices was full with chicken. No cut backs here to save money, and only 7 miles from Belfast city center, is worth a buffet on some afternoons, or a relaxing indian meal. Unfortunately it is a flight of stairs to the restaurant.

Love this place. Food good bit pricey. Good entertainment on Saturday night

The food is excellent and the head waiter very friendly. However the decor definitely needs direction as it in no way shows of the physical potential of the space.

Frist class service and food was excellent you won't get better anywhere and the delivery driver was very polite to could not ask for better service

Amazing indian. Chicken tikka dopiaza special is amazing. Service is excellent. Well worth the drive from Belfast!!!!

The Raj doesn’t disappoint, it is consistently good. Came here bank holiday weekend, the food is so fresh and staff provided a friendly atmosphere. Catered well for our children 8 & 6, they had home made chicken nuggets, we had tandoori prawns sizzling, good quality and plentiful, also lamb saag which was so fresh and mild, very relaxed and even though we didn’t bring our own wine (had a bottle of house white) it was still good value.

My wife and I where here tonight. Service. Rubbish. Waited 15 min to order starter and main. Starter arrived at 6.45pm. Onion Bahjis. Main dishes. Chicken Tikka Balti. Chicken kebab on nan. Arrived 7.15pm. Disgusting taste and we will never be back.

Warning, if you order food on a Saturday night then delivery times are a lottery. On a normal busy period expect 1 hour. What is frustrating is to be told 30-40 minutes and then to wait 1.5 hours. This has happened one time too many. Food is absolutely fine. But delivery times are random at best. Pick up only to avoid disappointment.

Very enjoyable Indian with very nice dishes.

From a wide range of options the Murg Silsila looked appetising - as a Chicken dish - with a sauce which had coconut, almond, yoghurt and fresh cream and was described as mild. it was nicely served , in a smart upstairs Restaurant, and tasted good.

The RAJ is a family favourite and has a broad menu of great tasty food. We find that the Balti dishes are great with lots of flavour. Another lovely meal is the jalfrezi - it's hot but not crazy hot. We often visit the restaurant too and the service is always pleasant. We are blessed to have such a nice takeaway in Comber.

Terrible. The food did not look and taste good. Veg samosa was soft and lacked flavor. The 2 curry dishes we had ordered had not got the fresh flavor and interesting spice to it that the menu had suggested. Peswari nan looked and tasted very plain and doughy at that. Sorry guys but it had to go in the bin!l

Been going to the Raj for over 10 years. Has. Never. let. Me. Down. Not once.

We've been going to the raj frequently for about a year now and the food is probably the best Indian food I've had, I generally have a different dish every time I visit and all I've had is super tasty, I love that with a selection of the dishes, you have the choice of a balti variant. Overall, the staff are very friendly, the food is delicious and price is more than fair. I visit at least once a every few weeks and will definitely go back. Would recommend to anyone who's a fan of Indian food.

Fantastic food and amazing service! The chicken pakora was particularly nice along with the chicken tikka masala! The Indian breads where delicious and do fresh definitely a must go to Indian restaurant!

The Raj is by far the best Indian we have eaten in for a long time. Complimentary popodoms as soon as you sit down and Bailey's at the end of our meal were lovely add-ons. Staff were friendly and helpful and it doesn't seem badly priced.

Very friendly atmosphere with a great ambience. Staff are very friendly and efficient ..The menu carries a wide range of diverse dishes. Monday and Friday nights are special eat all you want deals for a set amount which is great value

Nice Indian food, either sit in or takeaway. Nice staff. You can bring your own wine, which is a plus.

I have been coming to The Raj (and getting takeaway) for almost 20 years and I have never had a bad meal in it once. It is by far the best Indian in Comber. Despite the main courses all being really filling I always have to order onion bhajis to start as they are just too good to resist! Can honestly say they are he best bhajis I have eaten. The highlights on the menu would be the chicken tikka masala and the dupiaza and my other half loves the spicy chicken starter. The buffet on a Sunday is fab value and really good selection. Would highly recommend.

Great value for money. BYO a bonus yet they have a licensed bar too!

This was an Indian restaurant in the middle of a small village. We were staying at the nearby La Mon hotel and called them - they kept the restaurant open till we ordered. Can't thank enough.

Having moved from a different area into the comber area about 3 years ago we had to make a change from our usual Indian (planet spice) and while i absolutely loved our old Indian I've got to say the food from The Raj has been consistently good over the last 3 years. You call in an order and within 20 mins it's ready, its extremely good value for money and portion size is perfect.

Usually have a carryout never fails to impress gorgeous food lovely people would nt go for any other take away menu this restaurant is amazing 😊✴✴✴✴✴

I love this place and the staff! It has the best indian food that I have tested yet so far!!

The best Indian restaurant in the area. Staff are excellent and are always so helpful and pleasant. They go out of their way to please you. Definitely recommend

I've been eating food from The Raj since it opened years ago and can recommend it. Hot & spicy or mild & creamy - they'll ensure you get what you want. Decor not great but food is.

Después de siete años de comedor en el raj, FUI hace unas semanas con un grupo de amigos, fue muy bueno, la comida fresca y abundante, servicio rápido y agradable. Trae tu propio vino fue una gran ventaja y efectuarán servir licor. Está autorizado y nos sirvieron los disparos de cortesía al final de nuestra comida. Estuvimos allí durante un par de horas, pero nunca nos sentimos presionados. Estupenda relación calidad-precio también. Fue una buena experiencia, regresamos una semana después con mi marido, que también estaba muy impresionado. Bien hecho el Raj británico. .

Best Indian food in area! They also offer a buffet on Sunday nights.

Great place. Have been using it as the standard against which all other Indian restaurants must compete. Downside? For some reason they felt the need to paint over the character of the place. The decor is bland now. The murals on the walls have gone. I loved those. It's in bad need of a revamp. Can't complain about the food tho. Love it.

Just back from my birthday dinner. Great food and lots of it and excellent service and wonderful staff make it my favoritem place to go for a celebration. The staff treat you like a queen!

Me pasó por la semana raj durante un viaje de negocios y comisaría de ver un viejo amigo. He estado aquí antes y de nuevo tuvimos una comida maravillosa.

Sólo he tomado de este lugar y el pollo es tan fresco y blanco y cada plato que he tenido ha sido increíble! ! Mi marido no puede manejar el orden al vindaloo, así que el pollo balti dansak si ambos estamos comiendo pero pide que nada es caliente y madrás una molestia. El personal siempre es amable y acogedor. Yo comer desde aquí al menos una vez al mes durante 3 años y nunca he tenido una mala comida. El peshwari naan es increíble y el rojo con el duo poppdoms es magnífica. La mejor comida para llevar para mí de lejos

Visitamos dos veces recientemente tras una recomendación de amigos, pequeño gran lugar, la decoración es un poco anticuada, pero la comida y el servicio es fantástico, precios razonables también, lo que hace que sea aún mejor. Sin duda volveremos, me gusta mucho la comida india...

The food is outstanding, possibly one of the best indian restaurants ive ate in. I went here years ago, and...

Visita de los martes por la noche, así que el lugar era tranquilo. La calidad de la comida era excelente. No te desanimes por la naturaleza a veces peculiar del Raj, como el estándar de la comida ha sido consistentemente alta durante los muchos años que he visitado en y fuera. Prefiero pedir fuera del menú y el precio es muy razonable. El tamaño de las porciones de comida son generosas con un personal servicial.

Mi esposa y yo fuimos a este restaurante hace un tiempo. Es un restaurante muy agradable situado en la calle principal de Comber.

Food is good. The place itself is a little old and dated but it has a certain timely appeal to it. It has a bar. And staff are very welcoming.

Just back from the Sunday night buffet couldn't have been better service and food superb. Will be back soon. Paul and Jeanette

Just love the food. Service great. Food delicious and never fails to hit the spot Chef always helps out by reducing the ghee in some of the meals helping those of us who are slimming.

I always love going to this Indian thought I don't go very often. the staff were always very pleasant and I always had a great korma.

Just called in here with friends for the first time and was very pleasantly surprised.House White was great and I had the sizzling tandoori chicken, peshwari naan & aloo potatoes.First class food, great staff and reasonably price Will certainly be back!

Service poor. Ordered a bottle of wine and jug of water. Both were set down without a word at other side of table. You waitresses clearly have no training although lady in charge knew what she was doing.Onion bagi was mushy on inside. Lamb dish was tough as old boots. When I complained I was told they would have a word with the chef.Have eaten here a number of times but it will be a long time before I return.

Great Indian restaurant, friendly staff. Great for a carryout or a sit in meal. Does an excellent buffet weekly at a very reasonable price,

My family and I would visit this Indian every 2 weeks or so for a treat! The service is fantastic, the food is amazing and although the decor isn't the most modern it does not stop us visiting often. Staff are so friendly and welcoming and one of the main points for returning. I personally would recommend the chat puri starter it's awesome! Best Indian in comber and Ards!

Watery sauce. Not very nice at all. Cheap tasteless water sauce you get what your pay for here. not recommended. Delivery service ok.

We have eaten Indian food in many countries, some were good and some not so good.The Raj is the best and most authentic of them all and great value for money. Staff great..You out there who love Indian food should give it a try..

Great tasting dishes - wasn't disappointed, the restaurant was surprisingly quiet - considering how good the food was! Will definitely be going again.

BYO, homely Indian visited by locals and has become a firm favourite. |The quality of food is very good and byo makes it very reasonable

My family found this little gem years ago and have been going ever since, I had not been for a few years but tonight was fantastic, great food and service. Highly recommended

My family and i have been going to the Raj for years and i can honestly say i am yet to sample better service and food in an indian restaurant. From the warm welcome even on a busy night nothing is ever too much trouble! Firm favourites have to be the Chilli Massala (my husband compares every one hes ever had to the raj and none compete) and Lamb Shashlik. superb value on a sunday as they do a buffet and they even cope when we bring our toddler who doesnt like to stay still too long!Did i mention they do takeaway?! Cant reccommend them enough.

I have eaten in a lot of Indian restaurants and I have to say the Raj just cannot be beaten!! Ok so the decor is a little dated but the staff are very friendly and the food is superb. Nicest Indian food in my opinion. Worth a visit to sit in or takeaway!!

First time at the Raj at the invite of friends and sadly my first impression wasn't great. I was a bit disappointed that the room reminded me of my old primary school dining hall except that the furniture was just full height! But 5 minutes later that was forgotten about when the poppadoms, the wine and the banter started. But it's all about the food. Superb. Tasty, well presented and plentiful. All the dishes were uniquely different and all beautiful. I'm a very happy customer who will definitely be back. As for the bill?? It was about half of what you would expect to pay in Belfast for similar. And the complementary flaming sambuca was a perfect touch. Just remember to blow it out first!!

Most people only go on web sites like this to complain but I just want to say that my family and I eat in The Raj about once a week and we've never been let down by the food, however, recently it has just been unbelievably tasty. Not only that but it is great value as well - there is an early bird special - on until 9 pm which consists of a starter, main course and drink - you can even bring you own wine without a corkage fee,We have tried a lot of other restaurants in the Belfast, Comber and Newtownards but keep coming back to the Raj for the great food, service and value - you won't be disappointed!!

Again took family here for my daughters birthday. This is the children's favourite place for birthday meals. The restaurant has had a total makeover and looks lovely now. Food as usual was excellent especially the Swiss Sag! Was rather disappointed that the Wed evening buffet is no longer on as kids always enjoyed that. Perhaps you will reinstate it!

Great food, dansek unbelievable. Brilliant Staff and service. Very,very reasonable prices. Can't wait for my next visit.

If you want great food and value for money then you must visit the Raj Comber. Service is second to none and they even offer a complimentary drink at the end of your meal. Looks great after the recent make over. Menu is varied and food delicious. The blend of coffee they use is amazing and a must try.

Although internally dated this did not detract from the food, which was of a very high standard, both in presentation and taste. Blended with exceptional customer service and value for money this was my first but certainly not my last visit to this restaurant.

Service was really great the food fabulous and the cost really reasonable. Would highly recommend the buffet. The decor is a bit dated but is just about to have a make over. Can't wait to see it. Love the specials and always try to order one different dish when the family visit. The staff are always on hand to help with any questions and always eager to please. We order carry out once a month for all the family and they always get the order correct even though it's usually 10 or more meals. Very tasty. Feel lucky to have a good restaurant on my doorstep. Keep up the good work

Never disappointed with the Raj. if you want a pretentious Indian that costs too much this is not the place for you. The specials are great and the staff are always friendly and efficent

We recently visited The Raj Indian restaurant in Comber with friends and while the décor is trapped in the seventies, the food didn't disappoint. Having said that I would not be in a rush to return as there are other better restaurants (in my view) with a better offering of both food and ambience. Although it was a Wednesday night, it was still quite busy but lacked atmosphere. I would go back, but only after considering other options. Worth a try though, so give it a go. Good food at low prices, what more would you want?

Visited The Raj a restaurant that we have visited countless times and sadly for the first time ever I was a bit disappointed with some of the food. I make Indian food from first principles and the Shahi chicken was not good, particularly the sauce which was extremely sweet and of a very odd consistency. The Raj could do with improving its internal decor , a repaint would be worth it! I am really sad about this review but feel I have to be honest or else I make a nonsense out of my other reviews.

We usually visit here on a Wednesday evening simply because their Indian buffet is so tasty and also such good value! 2 courses, as much as you can eat, all rounded off with tea/coffee and a wee After Eight....you couldn't beat it! The food is always freshly prepared and I couldn't fault it....always a good choice of main course dishes including a veggie option for the non-meat eater. Even our young children love it, and will opt for The Raj for birthdays and other special occasions ahead for the more usual burger/pizza restaurants! Staff are always pleasant and friendly, especially the owner, who is always on hand and is very attentive and knowledgeable.

How lucky we are to have an Indian Restaurant in our home town that for years has consistently been serving great food every time.Although the decor remains unchanged it is always lovely to pop in and have a really enjoyable meal with no fuss that doesn't cost a fortune.Keep up the good work and see you again soon.

good food good staff always on hand to serve your needs the place could do with an update but don"t let that put you off parking on the street is ok very nice people

live nearby never been before- unusual starter with kebab in a omelette lovely sweet and sour chicken- friendly staff - good value

I only visit the Raj as it is handy and the food is very good. The staff are very friendly and it is a place to relax. The decor is poor but the food more than makes up for this. I recommend the lamb madras if it is not too hot. Also, it is one of the few Indian Restaurants that can do great takeaways without messing up the food.

I have been dining in the Raj for many years and have always found the standard of the food and service to be of a high quality. Meea and his team provide good Indian cuisine at a reasonable price.I would highly recommend this establishment!

RAJ is a great little restaurant with a first class range of food. Staff are also very friendly. Highly recommended.

Am a regular customer of the Raj in Comber and always am happy. Buffet nights twice a week on a Wednesday and Sunday evenings, £10.95 per person currently. 4 choices of starter, 4 mains (including 1 vegetarian option) and rice.Service always good and a great spot to eat.
