Really nice meal and great service. Salted Lassi made with coriander and caraway. Not over salted. Malai Paneer creamy and pleasantly spiced. Lamb Biryani well cooked and succulent. Waiter friendly and attentive but not too much. Well priced. Clean. Couldn't speak highly enough of the whole meal.

Ordered for take away - arrival time was as expected, but the food was terrible. A very ordinary order. Chicken Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala, Rice, Naan, chips. We actually considered the fact that we had Covid. Both curry's were utterly tasteless. My Keema naan (which is the bit I most look forward to), was the worst Keema naan I have ever had. My partner's Peshawari naan was equally bad (and burnt). The chips were lovely though. The Raj used to be nice! Won't bother anymore.

We’ve been coming to the Raj for a number of years. It recently changed management and updated its menu, and it’s been faultless since. We’ve eaten here as a couple all the way up to a group of 16. The food, waiting time and service is always spot on. Highly recommend the Raj, a wonderful place to eat and one of the best Indians in Basingstoke.

Had a takeaway from the New Raj this evening and I must say the portions were tiny compared to usual, must of had 6 smalls bits of Lamb / Chicken and absolutely loads of sauce. Chips portion were small as well. Preferred the old Raj but may give it another go as it’s right on our doorstep.

Food we got was good, but there were a few major problems: - vegetarian missus ordered veg samosas, got 1x veg and 2x meat (only found out they’re meat after biting into it - that’s really not ok) - paid for chicken tikka curry, got chicken curry. paid for nothing effectively - chicken pakora advertised as battered but they’re breadcrumbed. not a major problem, but i was disappointed

having ordered online and paying on what looked like the raj website ,we then get a text 20 minutes later saying they are not open and we will get our money back in 3-5 days!(it was a food hub website which looked totally like the raj website!) so we ring the raj and they say its got nothing to do with them ,they are trying to shut it down! if you dont get it shut down you WILL lose customers! so we thought we would re order as it is our local indian and we have always had good food from there! being under new management we thought the food would probably be better as you are trying to keep your customer base and keep people coming back! im afraid to say that the food was poor ! the chicken tikka over cooked and bland came with just a bag of chopped onions chicken pathia ,less chicken than normal,bland chicken tikka masala ok we will not be going back there ,and we live 4 minutes away ! its sad to see that the food when opened at home looked very under whelming!

The Raj is now under new management so we thought we would try it out as we had been a regular customer at the "old" Raj. We were welcomed upon arrival and shown to our table where our drinks order was taken. We all ordered something different and every one of us thought our meal was delicious - perhaps slightly hotter than usual, which is fine by me. The pershwari nan was freshly cooked and tasted amazing. We will certainly be returning back very soon.

Food was great, I went there a couple of year's ago and it was not a good experience but going back there tonight was totally different. What ever has happened there now is 100% better and I recommend it to anyone, it is well worth a visit in my book. Polite staff and clean place to eat. On the whole visit and food I would honesty give them 4.5 really, so im looking forward to going back again and hope it's still at the same standard

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE AND APPALLING FOOD! What has happened to your service and food Raj of Black dam? We ordered Chicken Tikka Byriani Saag Aloo and Pesharwi Naan. The Tikka was cold the Saag Aloo was too spicy, other people who read this review might agree when I say it should of mild taste. We didn't get the Vegetable Curry that normally accompanies it. When I called the restaurant to let them know this they said they would call back.... no call back This is terrible service and food shame on your restaurant We will not be ordering from you again. instead we will make sure to order from another Indian restaurant in Basingstoke.

The whole meal was excellent, super tasty and proportions large. The tables were nicely spaced so that some feeling of privacy was given at each table. The decoration was traditional and made us all feel very welcome. The waiting staff were all very attentive to each table and very polite at all times. We will certainly be going back again soon. I do have one regret that no desserts were on the menu as I have this desire to have jelabi that i remembered eating from many years ago. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

Used the Raj for quite a few years and it was without a doubt the best indian in Basingstoke , most recent delivery turned up with the updated menu showing it is now called the New Raj At Blackdam , obviously expected the price increases with current climate but did not expect the smaller portions and less taste. Really disappointed and my hunt continues for a decent curry in Basingstoke. Obviously under new ownership and I feel robbed.

After coming from India my search for authentic Indian food continues...... Tried Raj of black dam and I wonder how can a food be called Indian food when the food is so very unworthy of even eating it , I ordered tandoori prawns and duck curry and chicken curry, only thing that I would rate my one star is the prawns ,it cannot be more than one star for the prawns , the duck curry was stale and curry was disgusting, the chicken curry.. oh my god , I wonder why you people are spoiling the name of Indian food ??? Being a reviewer I would want you guys to serve proper Indian food with proper indian taste, otherwise call it as something else.. I would be eager to change my review about your food so please do take it in a positive way and make changes in your food. But for now it's a full No!! No!! For me .

Been coming to raj for 25 plus years for a good reason, amazing food, great service, can not fault them , onion bhajee are so good, lamb curry is my go to sauce, lots of lamb in each portion, naan bread spot on, and mint sauce sooo good. If you pick up order for home enough food per portion for two people just order an extra naan as you get two bhajee s per order. Try raj and you will never go anywhere else again for an Indian meal. Staff very professional and pleasant to speak to.

I was a regular customer for years and now it’s time to stop. First of all the past month or so the people on the telephone were absolutely atrocious. So rude and can barely speak English and was hard to understand them. I’ve been going for so long that I know their names, which is Francis and Rocky. Not good enough. Next the chef Mujeeb did a horrendous job. I don’t know how he still has the job after all these years. I have had food inside and all I can hear is him shouting rudely at the staff and once I heard him shout at the customers. The environment as a person dining in is TOXIC and hostile and very old fashioned interior that needs updating. Anyways the food was disgusting, pink meat and the korma which is meant to be the easiest and most common dish was horrendous. There was a piece of hair in my food which I assume is from mujeeb. I’m sorry but you thought the food was disgusting, but the delivery time was tragic. It was over 3 hours late and I got nothing as compensation. No refund no curry on the house. Mujeeb, Tony, Rocky and Francis should be ashamed of themselves on how they are running the place. NEVER ORDER FROM HERE!
