What deadpledge likes about The Raj:
Very friendly and accommodating restaurant, with a very good selection of vegan options. We shared 3 curries, which were a dansak, rogan josh and dopiaza, with boiled rice and chapatis. Each dish had such depth in flavour and were spiced really well, but if you are averse to heat, you may wish to ask for your curry to be made mild. Even the dansak was spicy and I'm pretty sure it had naga chillies in! Great meal over... View all feedback. What Thomas Ross doesn't like about The Raj:
Eating was okay, but very small portions. The bill was wrong and the owner gave the mistakes to the young waiter, although he actually prepared the bill! Keep a copy of the menu and double check your bill as others had the same problem! View all feedback.

Visiting this Indian restaurant in York offered a mixed experience, with some diners enjoying the food and atmosphere while others found aspects of their visit disappointing. One review mentions small portions and issues with the bill, while another criticizes the quality of the food and service. However, the restaurant also received positive feedback for its wide menu, vegan options, and friendly staff. A separate review highlighted the excellent service, traditional pub atmosphere, and extensive drink selection at a nearby pub. Overall, while there were some criticisms, many customers found the food and experience at this restaurant to be enjoyable and worth recommending.
