What Hannah Dörfelt likes about Raj Douth:
We love Raj Douth, it is charming and has a warmth which is an inviting, cozy atmosphere and the delicious array of dishes showcase authentic flavours. The staff are super friendly and add a personal touch, making the dining experience truly enjoyable. If we’re not dining in then we are ordering a takeaway from here. View all feedback. What JohnJampot doesn't like about Raj Douth:
Not been here for a while, but as the restaurant we wanted to go to was shut, we thought we can't go wrong!! We were wrong! Bombay mix was crumbs. Poppadoms, OK (just), Curry was bland, with tasteless chicken and had no resemblance of a Madras. Won't be back. View all feedback.

The restaurant has received mixed reviews from loyal customers who have been visiting for years to first-time diners. While some have had negative experiences with undercooked food, poor service, and lack of apology for mistakes, others have praised the delicious food, friendly staff, and excellent service. The restaurant seems to have made improvements over time with some diners noticing upgrades in decor and quality of dishes. Overall, it appears that the restaurant has potential but may need to address consistency in service and food quality to regain its reputation as the best Indian spot in town.
