The Raj in Kettering

I can fault anything about our experience at The Raj. Our waiter Abs provided the highest quality service that you could expect in a Michelin star restaurant, helped guide us into dishes we may like based off our preferences and was an overall pleasant person to have involved in our evening. The place is decorated amazingly, great atmosphere whilst still being able to talk at a normal volume and I urge anyone to try the rooftop bar after their dinner as the drinks up there were lovely.

Been visiting the Raj for years now and these guys are simply the best! Always amazing service and some great food to accompany it. Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for a Top Indian restaurant!

Raed and Abid provided exceptional service during our time in the Raj! Their service and pricing were truly outstanding.

We were looking for a good Indian restaurant in Corby and we came across this place. They had a good reviews so we thought let's give it a try. We went on weekend and they were fully booked, but managed to fit us upstairs. We ordered mixed starts and main dishes. Food and starters were good except satkora chicken and lamb shank. Satkora chicken was bit bland and lamb shank was boiled which gave us a bit unrealistic taste. Overall it was a good place and food was good. Especially their toilet was clean and quite modern which was a bonus point.

This was my first time here after a recommendation, and I'm extremely fussy with curry house's (I only ever go to my favourite in derby) but omg this place is amazing , first of all the service is first class , everyone was impeccably dressed and friendly , secondly the decor is beautiful and warming, and last of all the food is amazing, we had starters and main with sides and each one I had was delicious, the choices are great , so I shall be visiting again.

Nice fish masala curry Jamie Vardy recommend.

Visited The Raj as I fancied a curry instead of the usual hotel food when on a business trip. Impeccable service from the whole Raj team ensuring guests get a great experience and feel valued. Decor is unique. I had the Dhansak which was made to my choice of heat. Chicken was beautifully cooked and in a rich sauce. So busy in there for a Wednesday evening, but service was swift but unhurried.

Great work get together! We recently had a work colleagues night at The Raj. Fantastic evening from start to finish. The food & service was exceptional. We will definitely be back soon! Thank you to all at The Raj from Avery Park Care Home.

Visited on Saturday 16th November. Lovely warm greeting from staff who were friendly and very attentive. The restaurant is lovely, warm and inviting and is tastefully decorated. The tables in my opinion are a little close together and can be a bit snug for a party of 4 and over especially when the food and side dishes arrive. We had poppadoms and the pickles to start with , which were really tasty. We opted for a Chicken Tikka Balti, Chicken Korma and Chicken Tikka Vindaloo. We had egg fried rice, special rice, onion Naan and Keema Naan and Onion Bhaji`s. The food arrived hot and sizzling and was plentiful. My wife didnt like her Balti as there were no Peppers or tomatoes? Never had a Balti without these ingredients and my wife was disappointed with he flavour overall. The Vindaloo`s were nice and spicy but was it the best i have had? No certainly not. The Korma had a lovely flavour and all the dishes were well cooked with amazing spices. We all commented on the rice, not being as nice with big lumps of egg, the onion Bhaji were delicious and the Naan breads were divine. The staff were delightful and very attentive, and the service was superb. The price is a litter higher than you would normally pay at an Indian restaurant but it is lovely inside with excellent service. The parking could be awkward, so we parked in Sainsbury`s and paid for the parking. Would i come back for a return visit? No, i have had better Indian food elsewhere but it is down to ones individual taste.

We just had a lovely family evening at The Raj. It was great from start to finish. The staff make you feel so welcome and the food was delicious. Nice, relaxing atmosphere. I personally enjoyed the best Lamb Madras I've ever tasted. We are already planning our next visit.

Food amazing as always, very welcoming 5*

Arrived with no booking, manager accomadated me refused to send me away he even gave me complimentary popadoms and pickle dips, serving staff was polite and the professionalism of all staff was absolutely brilliant, food portions was above expectations not to mention delicious. The atmosphere at this restaurant is excellent with loving mood lighting will definitely be coming back with family and friends.

We were with friends for dinner. We took two starters and each a main course. The food was tasty, seasoned, plenty of choice on the menu. And if you're not sure what you want to eat, the friendly staff are there to help. The place was clean, the service super, the food fresh.

I bought my partner for a meal, we were amazed at how Goyas, Aimaan & all the staff once again took their standards even higher in delivering an amazing service from the second we walked into the restaurant right until we left! If your looking for a curry night for a date, family or any occasion look no further!!

After 5 years of going to the Raj never again. I have never been treated so poorly and food was not what I ordered. The host argued with me although he gave me something I did not order . £60.00

We had a fantastic meal here on Saturday night. My starter of King Prawn Puree was perfect and presented really well. The mains were equally as flavoursome. The service was very efficient and friendly. I’d highly recommend popping in and having meal. Just make sure you book in advance to avoid disappointment. It was fully booked last night from 7pm. Thanks again to Gaz and the team at The Raj for making us feel very welcome.

Wow! Food, service and atmosphere... everything 5+

Couldn’t have been better! We came in flustered, hungry & in a real rush. The staff were incredible and got us a table straight away, with absolutely delicious food. Brilliant service all round. It’s no wonder it was full on a weekday. We’ll certainly be back for a more leisurely meal!

Both times we have gone to the Raj recently, the service has been attentive with attention to detail so it is more of a dining experience than just a meal out. The menu is vast and the sizzling platters give a great choice as you get to try different bits in one dish, the food came out fresh and delicious. The restaurant was clean and tastefully decorated. You can see the effort and pride that goes into maintaining the reputation of the restaurant by ensuring it is well staffed and all trained to high standard. As they were so friendly and accommodating to our children. Would definitely recommend and be back again

Went for my dad’s birthday meal and can honestly say it was one of the best dining experiences. The restaurant is beautiful. The staff were exceptional and very attentive, going above and beyond to ensure everyone was happy and satisfied with their meals and experience. The food presentation was 10/10 and tasted just as delicious as it looked. I will deffo be back and recommend to family and friends to visit.

Absolutely amazing food and service my daughter is fussy and they catered for her a special Meal we’re so good I couldn’t rate them any higher the chicken was so tender I’ve never had better such a lovely experience and the restaurant is lovely

Been here before and again we couldn't find fault with anything, the food was perfect,the service and the staff were impeccable and so polite and friendly. I would recommend The Raj, to all if you want ambience and fantastic service. Well done to all the staff at The Raj for being so welcoming. Alex New Zealand

Banging food service class. Atmosphere 10/10

Dined here after completing the Vitruvian triathlon. Absolutely superb dining experience from the moment we stepped through the door. So personal and friendly, food was amazing, service was one of the best ever experienced. Compliments to everyone for the part they played. Highly recommended.

Food and service are both fantastic! My partner and I dropped in with 45 minutes to spare before we needed to leave for a train, and the staff were amazing, making sure we were able to eat and leave on time despite the restaurant being very busy. The food was also delicious (possibly the best naan I've ever had) and, being completely made to order, they were very accommodating of dietary requirements. We will definitely be returning!

Lovely vegetarian menu outstanding flavor and delicious, enough flavor without the need to add too much gee to make you feel bloated. Really great staff friendly and attentive to all the customers who were eating out. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants decent quality Asian cuisine.

Had a brilliant time at the Raj this evening. The food is incredible and the hospitality is exceptional! Highly recommend.

My visit to England was worth the journey because I got to know the Raj Restaurant. What a beautiful place, tree in the center with all the fairy lights. The Waiters all in black suits, very smart. Service was impeccable, no sooner we were seated we were given the Menu Card, and what an amazing choice! The Waiters were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Food was to die for, I have never had a better Indien meal, another thing, the plates were not overloaded, portions just right, no left overs on our plates. By my next visit to England I would very much like to eat there again.

We recently travelled an hour with the family to dine at The Raj in Kettering, and it was absolutely worth the trip! The food was amazing, with each dish bursting with flavour, and the service was exceptional. The staff couldn’t do enough for us, making us feel incredibly welcome and well taken care of throughout the entire meal. We had a fantastic experience and can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommend!

It’s sexy and you know it….Wow, wow, wow…. We love to be wined and dined, and travel all over to experience this sort of impeccable service, so you can imagine our delight to have found The Raj on our doorstep! As we entered the restaurant the stylish, beautiful decor is the first thing to catch your eye then to be greeted by the very smartly dressed staff who didn’t even flinch as we mentioned we had arrived 45 mins early :-) The food was cooked to perfection and presented beautifully, service throughout was top quality, nothing was too much trouble for any of the team. At the end of our meal we were greeted by a charming young man who offered to show us round the rest of this spotless, stunning restaurant but unfortunately we had not planned for such a fantastic experience and had other arrangements in place. We highly recommend visiting The Raj and will certainly be back very soon to experience more…. Huge thank you to all the staff and congratulations to the owners for achieving and offering such a fantastic place for all to enjoy. Scott and heidi

Great service from really friendly and welcoming staff. Amazing food, especially the prawns and lamb shank meals. Definitely coming back in the very near future.

4 of us popped over for a meal recently and once again this place never fails to be anywhere from excellent! ! From walking through the door to leaving there was nothing but brilliance.. Staff were on top of every little detail and the food was amazing... Gaz you truly are a gent and your lads are a testament to you. Thank you for a really lovely evening. Ps.. Are your lads too old for a bouncy castle now? 🤣...

Travelled well over an 1 hour to come and try after seeing a video on TikTok. All I can say is Wow!!! From the moment I walked in the door to leaving the service and attention to detail was phenomenal. The food was the best Indian food I have ever had!! Being from Birmingham I have experienced a lot of different Indian restaurants but nothing has come close to The Raj Kettering. Can’t recommend it enough. Massive thank you to all the staff for making the evening so special.

Such an amazing hospitality. Manager gave us special Lamb dishes and was superb. Highly recommend 💯😍

I recently visited Raj and had an amazing experience. The ambiance was beautiful, and the food was delicious, with rich, authentic flavors in every dish. The staff were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make our visit special. Considering the quality, the prices were very reasonable. I’ll definitely be back—this is the best Indian restaurant I've been to, and I highly recommend it. (Shout out to Abs for making it such a great experience)

This place should be 5 stars it was amazing the presentation the atmosphere the service the food was 10/10 the staff was amazing and friendly. I highly recommend you visit this Gem - Teddy & Demi

We recently dined at The Raj with my two kids from Cambridge and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance is elegant and inviting, with a perfect blend of traditional and modern decor. The service was impeccable; the owner and he’s sons & the staff were very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. My kids were over the moon by their wonderful hospitality and didn’t want to leave the restaurant, we really enjoyed & had a great evening at The Raj …. Really appreciated The highlight, of course, was the food. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with authentic flavours and beautifully presented. The Raj offers a fantastic dining experience that is both luxurious and comforting. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy exquisite Indian cuisine. Five stars, without a doubt! It’s definitely worth a visit…. See you next time

Delicious and outstanding service. Each dish had a distinctive flavor profile and was exceptional. The service was top notch and no details were left undone; from the way the napkins were folded to the warm towel at the end of our meal. Well done! Side note, I left my phone in the cab and the staff at the Raj called the hotel and the cab company and tracked it down - saving me from a potential disaster. Thanks again!!

What can I say!!! An amazing evening at the Raj! My fiancée treated me to a birthday meal at the Raj this evening! The service was out of this world! They are so polite and so accommodating! I would highly recommend this restaurant 10000%! Will definitely be going back!

Just had a very nice dinner here. Very good food in a nice place. And also, very good, pleasant service!

A plentiful, delicious meal was served to us by polite, and kind waiters, not to mention Gaz, the owner of the restaurant, coming to us personally several times throughout the wonderful meal, and having some great amiable conversations with us. At the end, he even presented me with a free ice cream as a wonderfully kind bonus! Greta (12 years)

Amazing, amazing, amazing. What more can be said. Absolutely everything is amazing, including the staff. Couldn't recommend more

Once again I was visiting Kettering for the annual VJMC motorcycle club rally. I made a point of visiting the Raj with my friend as the experience last year had been so exceptionally good. Once again I was delighted. Staff were helpful and welcoming and the food was absolutely first class. Prices are very fair for such exceptional cooking. This is no ordinary restaurant. It is spotlessly clean, the staff are smartly dressed, the decor is fresh and modern and the welcome is genuine. I love it and will go again.

Great service and great food as always.

No more bargain weekday menus but still worth it. Amazing food and excellent atmosphere. Staff some of the best in the business.

There is always a warm welcome here. Family owned and run, award-winning restaurant. Smart and attentive staff, excellent service and really outstanding quality food. Superb! Thank you very much. You know we'll be back!👏🤝🏆🥇

Lovely restaurant; staff were super, service was fab, food was great, nice decor. We booked up to visit again before we left.

We were recommended The Raj and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the restaurant to anyone looking for great food. The atmosphere, staff and food were fabulous, possibly one of the best Indian restaurants in the area. Nothing was too much trouble, they offered advice on Vegan options and even cook off menu adding that extra special touch to cater for dietary requirements. Goyas and the team worked incredibly hard to make this an exceptional evening, thank you and we’ll be back soon. Booking advisable. 🙏

Second visit to the Raj upon stumbling across this place during a search. Food is unbelievable and the attention to service is even better. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back again .

Beautiful restaurant and excellent service! Made to feel very welcome and lovely atmosphere.

The Raj was a fantastic dining experience with its flavoursome dishes and warm ambiance. The menu features a variety of exceptional dishes. We had the Raj King Prawns & Tandoori Mix Grill. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant visit. The Raj is a great choice for those craving delicious food in or passing by Kettering.

Very clean restaurant. dining for the first time. It was a delightful experience. The dining experience is outstanding. I started with the King Prawn Butterfly appetiser then had the Elios Grill for my main course, all of which were delicious. Great selection of drinks also (Alcoholic & Non Alcoholic). Excellent ambiance as well! Recommend to everybody.

I was so excited after reading the reviews and we left so disappointed. Starter of paneer shashlik and chicken pakora both flavourless. Mains prawn madras and Shobzi Karai with pilau rice and garlic naan. Nothing tasted of anything really, I’m not sure I’ve ever had a meal with so little flavour. The rice was dry and flavourless and even the naan bread didn’t really taste of garlic. I think the nicest part was the popadoms. The madras was very salty but no real flavour apart from that. All of this for the shocking price of £80+ (we had 4 drinks too). When asked how our meal was when they cleared our plates, I awkwardly said (I never complain) how it was, the waiter didn’t say anything - not a sorry or anything. When we asked for the bill another waiter asked how our food was and we said, again there was no reply. I can’t stress enough, I never write reviews or complain. The staff were lovely until the end when they just ignored our complaints. This is hands down the worst meal I have ever paid for.

Had the most wonderful dining experience to celebrate my sister’s 40th Birthday at Raj restaurant. The food was tasty, well presented and the staff were absolutely brilliant and so friendly and professional. I must also say, the most modern and best decorative restaurant I have been too locally - Loved it!!👌

Beautiful atmosphere, Prompt Service, Good food

Beautiful and delicious restaurant.

Absolutely first class experience at the Raj. Staff were fantastic as was the food. Very well decorated giving a great experience all round. Even a bonus race motorcycle tucked away for viewing. Probably the best Indian restaurant I've visited for all round appeal. Highly recommend.

Fabulous restaurant. Amazing food and great service. Beautiful decor too.

Fine dinning Food amazing Service was the best Couldn't fault anything

This has to be the best Indian in Kettering the atmosphere is fernominal and the food is top notch and the staff are so helpful and very polite so good 👍

Our first visit but it had been recommended. Gorgeous food. Will return

Nice Indian Restaurant with good service

Beautiful restaurant with fantastic food and great atmosphere. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming.

Arrived at 11pm to be greeted by the very friendly staff. We was shown to a table and was immediately given our menus and asked if we would like drinks. Poppadoms and chutneys were brought to our table. We ordered our food and once the owner realised we came from Essex he was very attentive and reminisced with us as he used to live near us. He was so friendly and the food we ordered had to be the best we've ever eaten. What with the beautiful setting of this restaurant together with the excellent food and attentive staff was a wonderful end to our evening. If you are ever in Kettering or anywhere nearby please visit this restaurant. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. Thank you for a wonderful evening

Just back from the most amazing Mothers day meal at the Raj kettering . The food , service , staff , atmosphere and cleanliness were 110%. Dietary requirements were accomodated and remembered from a previous visit. Thank you for an amazing meal .

Went with 4 friends and were welcomed. Sat at our table and we’d ordered drinks within the first minute. We ordered popadoms and the main at the same time. Popadoms came and approx3-5 mins later our mains arrived. 2 of our party were still eating them. Food was ok meh. Reluctantly didn’t finish the popadoms, had around 20 mins to finish the mains and then the bill came. Whole meal took an hour. We were crazy rushed so much that I’m now left with indigestion. Spent £150 in just under an hour. I asked if they had a busy night and the waiter said yes. Feeling ripped off. BYW service charge on bill, I think around 14%. Certainly not worth it! Avoid and go Bengal up the road. Far better food and way better.

Party of five, three of the main coarse dishes were tasteless and lacking alot spice. The chicken used was the frozen pre cut rubbish. Extremely disappointed with the food

Visited The Raj for the first time and we were blown away by the standard of service and quality of food, Aimaan paid lots of attention to our requests and made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in, best curry night we’ve had in a long time! Will definitely be coming back soon!

Brilliant atmosphere and service 10/10. Staff were always on point. Best restaurant experience I’ve had in a long time.

Absolutely amazing food and outstanding service. Our Valentine's Day dinner was enjoyable in your restaurant.

Brought my partner here for our Valentines Day dinner and have to say we were NOT disappointed! From the moment we entered the restaurant the attention to detail was amazing with red helium filled balloons hanging from the ceiling creating a lovely romantic atmosphere. The staff were incredible, highly professional and courteous and despite the restaurant being fairly busy, quickly ushered us to our seats. We were served our meal fairly promptly considering how busy they were and the meal was amazing! Thank you to everyone at the Raj for making our evening special.

Service was fantastic but the food was bland and wet.

Can’t praise The Raj enough, I’ve eaten many curries from many towns but this one is top of the list , the attention to detail, great ambience and decor made this a dining extravaganza . The staff were welcoming and attentive and most importantly the food was magnificent and presented beautifully. A perfect evening & dining experience just wished I lived nearby 😁

The nicest staff, the nicest food and great experience. The best curry house I have been to. Everyone is well mannered and try and give you the best time. Will definitely come here again.

Best tasting curry I’ve ever had, incredible service and lovely decor and atmosphere, staff is amazing friendly and hospitable, overall best curry house.

As a group of tradesman working away from home for the week looking for a decent restaurant can sometimes be challenging. We ended up coming to the Raj twice in one week. The restaurant was busy Monday and Thursday and the food was amazing. The staff - particularly the family based hierarchy of Father and 2 sons proved to be the difference. The hospitality and professionalism was second to none and they backed up their confidence with real quality meals. Both nights we changed our choices and were far from disappointed. The meals and hosts were excellent. There isn’t another word to describe it. I would wholly recommend this restaurant to anyone living in Kettering and anyone visiting. One very happy customer and will visit this restaurant again if the opportunity arises..

Absolutely brilliant. From start to finish you have to visit this restaurant. The food was amazing and equally was the service.

Very nice food and very polite staff, though getting a bit borderline on being too attentive. Throughly enjoyed my chicken puri (without the puri) starter and chicken tikka main with mushroom pilau. Not sure if I missed it last time but a 12.5% service charge for a restaurant in Kettering is out of order. That took a point of Diet Coke to over a fiver!!

Every time I go to the Raj it exceeds my expectations. Wonderful meal tonight and my daughter from Brighton was very impressed. Immaculate service as usual - what a treat!

Been going here for 33 years, and goyas is the best host, closely now followed by his well trained children. Bill

Great evening for our works Xmas party.

I absolutely love this wonderful restaurant I think all the food is absolutely delicious plus a service and tribute to the staff and restaurant. They can't do enough for you here. I have been coming for over 20 years that must say something.

We had a really lovely time at the Raj for our first visit. The food was delicious, there was loads to chose from including some really interesting dishes and the ones we had were great. We tried the honey chicken, muktaj and lamb pathia but can't remember the name of the one that was flambé but they were all gorgeous. All the accompanying dishes and sundries were cooked perfectly and we will definitely return.

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff . Nice curry house in ketteing Town. Good atmosphere in the restaurant and the staff are very attentive . Food was on the whole ok and I would probably visit again .

The service was amazing they took time to specialise a meal for a particular dietary requirement, wonderful ,thank you !

Booked the Christmas Day meal, food was delicious, staff were very welcoming, great atmosphere, loved it, thank you all 🙏🏻

We visited the Raj for Christmas dinner 2023, it was delicious and the service was fantastic. Timing was great and no one was ever left waiting for a drink. Would definitely recommend.

Just enjoyed the most fabulous Christmas Day Lunch at The Raj, Goyas and his team did a remarkable job. Everything was simply excellent from start to finish. Loved it all. Bravo to all

Excellent Indian in Kettering. Would highly recommend 👌

Staff were excellent and very professional. Our drinks and meal were served very quickly. The meals were superb. I couldn’t fault any part o our evening. Great atmosphere great staff, fantastic food. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Award winning restaurant, recommended.

The Raj is great for Christmas meals as there is something for everyone. They offer tasty Vegan options and the owner gives me confidence that they understand Veganism. I had a Vegan Channa Daal & Chappati for a starter and a Vegan Shobzi Karai with boiled rice and Khasta Roti. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The restaurant has a busy welcoming atmosphere. A great experience! L

Didn’t wait as long as last time to come back here. One of the most polite and professional set of staff I’ve ever experienced. Huge credit to them and made a real difference to the experience. The food was modern Indian food, well presented but the stars of the show were the staff.

Great food great service great staff,defo recommended for a great curry

Excellent food, service and atmosphere.

Had a wonderful 1st experience at this beautiful restaurant. The staff are attentive and interact very well with the customers, they had a comedic way of dealing with the customers that added that extra touch most restaurants don't have. The food was great and the decor is unlike any other indian restaurant I have ever been in, it is modern and kitted out to a very high standard. I will definitely come again and recommend to others.

My second time eating there, this time I ordered take away, it was ready in half an hour. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Amazing food, one of the best restaurants I’ve ordered from. I highly recommend this place!

Always good food eating in or takeout. Friendly staff. Good attention to detail.

The company leadership team has been here many times, so we decided to have a work celebration to celebrate Diwali as always, the food was delicious! Great efficient service, the staff are amazing. Atmosphere was good, they catered for all our needs. Very clean, lots of effort to keep tables clean after each course. Would definitely recommend for all.
