Le Raaj - County Durham

No prices on the menu (is this legal? Popadoms and dips were not like any other I have ever had before just bright coloured sweet slop. The main course could only be described as NEON it was so brightly coloured did not taste bad but the meat was not tender or succulent with only 5 cubes of chicken in my dish. I dread to think how many “E’s” were in the meal definitely not authentic .Poor food at inflated prices certainly disappointing and not to be repeated.

If you’re looking for a place to buy Indians, this is the place you need to go! Let’s talk about their service. without us waiting we were able to get a table. the service was perfect and fast. they sat us down and asked about our day (a thing most places don’t do) . They were polite and caring, making sure our night will be great. we ordered drinks and got popodams. POPODAMS R SO DELICIOUS OFC I HAD TO GET THEM. Anyways back on track we ordered our mains. Let me tell you this. the Flavour was wow! The food was exceeded my expectations, seeing a bunch of reviews my opinion was mixed there were people talking about no flavour. Excuse me this is by far the best indians i have ever had! The food portions and quality WHERE AMAZING. I never was a big fan of cleaning my plate, as i always can never eat as much as i ordered. Well today was different I cleaned my plate aswell as everyone else in my table .Once done a young waiter, around 18 came along to check on us, making sure everything was well. Had to tell him to tell the chef i said thank you. We had a little laugh while talking to him, he was able to make the whole table crack up. Anways back on track we where then offered dessert which i had to refuse as i was full. We decided it get more drinks . in the end we all left happy and amazed wanting to come back again. the price was up there but what can you expect, this restaurant offered high quality food with good portion size aswell as fantastic service making you feel at home and comfortable . overall experience today 10/10

The food at this restaurant was excellent and exactly what we needed after the long Christmas and New Year. The staff were friendly and provided service with a smile and a bit of humor. The food was exceptional and we will definitely be back soon. The prices have gone up slightly, which was expected after COVID, but the quality is still top-notch. We plan to bring our extended family next time.

Food was ok. But very expensive my friend adored her choice and the band were gorgeous. However one particular waiter was dining constantly. He was clearly tipsy and smelt of alchohol. Which is shocking for a restaurant charging those prices. He was an older 40ish man and just was saying the most ridiculous things to us. It really was bad another table also noticed and said he was also coughing all over them. Won’t be back drunk staff is a big no no!!

Completely disappointed with the food tonight Been here lots of times and food has always been superb and we recommend to friends However : Onion Bjahi tonight so dry and no flavour Indian fish starter was so small and had absolutely no flavour and this was almost ten pounds for a sliver of fish and dry salad Keema naan bread ‘’ well no filling ‘ nothing else to say Lots of people sat at other tables were complaining Unfortunately will not be back
