What sky white likes about The Raj:
Having visited this restaurant multiple times, I have always enjoyed great food and exceptional customer service. It is definitely one of the best places in Shields for good service. A couple of weeks ago, we had a small issue with our takeaway order, but Ali quickly resolved it for us without any trouble. I highly recommend this restaurant as all the staff are very friendly, respectful, and have excellent manners. View all feedback.

The food was fantastic and the service was excellent.

The Raj, a long-standing family-run restaurant, serves up excellent traditional Asian cuisine with flavorful dishes and a welcoming atmosphere.
