The best restaurants serving Indian food in Nork Reigate and Banstead South East

Excellent succulent flavoursome

How the mighty have fallen. This used to be the finest Indian restaurant in Surrey with wonderful food and great service. Not any more. Having visited for the 1st time in about 2 years the change was jarring. Having been shown to our table it took over 25 minutes until we were able to order drinks and food which is unacceptable in any restaurant, but particularly somewhere as prestigious as Le Raj. It then took a further 30 minutes before the starter finally arrived (restaurant was around 50% full) and well over an hour before the main course arrived. Food has gone downhill too. I had possibly the most unappetizing naan I've ever eaten, which appeared to have been glazed with some sort of sugar, making it hard texture, sweet to taste & deeply unpleasant. My wife (who is an award winning Asian chef herself) discovered her biryani was infused with Rose water prompting the question "so wrong - just what are they doing back there ?" I don't think "disappointing" is quite strong enough to express how I felt when I left. I won't be coming back.

I eat here all the time , I've never had a bad meal. The chefs is passionate about his menu and it shows in the flavour and cooking. I will always come back as the service is the very best . Thank you foe another beautiful dinner .
