A Taste Of Raj

I was really disappointed with the last meal I had here. There were 5 of us eating, and we opted for a selection of 5 Curries to share. The food was mediocre in most, but the biggest disappointment was the lack of spice on the hotter curries. We raised a problem with the waiters that both the hot curries (ceylon and dhansak) as they were both very mild (same as the tikka massala).
Two waiters had to resort to the menu to look up how hot the curries should have been, and there was no apologie for the error. We were simply told that the chef cooked it that way (despite the menu stating the curries as very hot). One waiter did try the curry and agree that it was mild, but there was no effort to resolve the problem, no offer of replacement or refund.
If you like your curries, then you will hate this place. You would be better off with a microwave curry from budgens down the road.
Bad points
rude staff with little knowledge of the menu
— mediocre food
— run down interior (think 80’s curry house)
Good points —
There were plenty of spare tables on a Saturday night.

Outstanding. Our first curry in the UK for 3 years and we weren’t disappointed. Service was impeccable, the staff were always nearby without being intrusive. We shared the mixed starters and went on to a Chicken Korma and the Chef’s special lamb cutlets. Outstaning all round, the meat was spiced well while still remaining tender and juicy.
Also worth a mention is the lime pickle which was fiery without being overbearing on the taste buds.
My only complaint (if you cold even call it one) was that the rice portions seemed a little mean (although that could just be 3 years if California portion excess coming to the surface!)

Excellent Food, nice big menu. Excellent Buffet on Sundays, only £8.00, drinks are not that badly priced.
