Stratford Raja

RACISM ALERT!This review is based on personal experience does not concern other customer reviews.At first we assumed this restaurant is same as the RAJA in KITCHENER but unfortunately the owner Mr. Zafar has copied the entire concept but fails to provide best service like The Original RAJA Of KITCHENER does.I have heard “Brown people are greatest enemies of brown” Mr. Zafar is a perfect example of this.The restaurant doesn’t mention itself as a “Fine Cuisine” on Google Maps.Since it is the only INDIAN restaurant in Stratford, we arrived there at 5.30pm in the evening for some chai pakoda as suggested by maps. The server mentioned that they have launched Buffet but of course being an Indian I would not prefer to eat a buffet in the evening at 5.30pm so I proceeded with Coffee pakoda from their snack menu. (The pakoda was uncooked, it was probably made from previous day leftover batter, on informing it was replaced with other plate which was again the same).While we were waiting for the order we heard Mr. Zafar say “YE LOG YAHAN SIRF PAKODA KHANE AYE HAI”. But while taking our order, the server did not mention us that they don’t server just the snacks we probably would have walked away, there’s no short of better restaurants if one can drive a few kms.After we were done, we asked the server isn’t this Raja same as the one in Kitchener she said no it wasn’t the same, then Mr. Zafar walked to our table to tell us that his restaurant is a Fine Cuisine Restaurant we had to eat something huge they don’t serve just the snacks coz his table cloth itself costs $5 he previously worked at Original Raja Kitchener I felt the burn for him.I really felt sad for this man knowing the incoming of (Indian) customer is very low and that he only pleases the white people, anyway that’s not my concern.I CAME I ATE I PAID.Vegetarian options: Old stale foodKid-friendliness: Old stale foodParking: No parking at allWheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair accessibilityDietary restrictions: Old stale food

The food is fantastic. Restaurant interior decor is lovely! Located about half a block from the Avon Theatre. Parking is near by. Outdoor seating is available.

Great place! We really had to rush to catch the play and we ask them if they could accommodate us and they were so great about it and the one of the managers Aishna really helped make that happen thank you so much

This place has it figured out!Everything was absolutely perfect!Service was amazing, the food unbelievable good.So impressed that even though they were very busy the attention to detail never changed.Little things like wiping every plate before a table is reset …… that is attention to detail. Serving from the correct side.I am sure to be back here!Please keep up the great efforts!

We are a party of four and we so appreciated the service and excellent food. Superb! The staff were very friendly and genuine. Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Staff were helpful in choosing non dairy options. Flavour was extraordinary!
