We're regular customers here, both dining in and takeaway and have never been disappointed. Our daughter was home for a visit so we booked a table and the meal and service were excellent as usual. The standards never seem to slip, and you're always made to feel welcome. So glad to have such a good restaurant, so local.

Great experience, wonderful food, full of flavour and so glad to see place busy, vibrant with people waiting for a table to become free.

Disappointed. Food used to be so good here. Now their mild dishes are so sweet! Could be served as dessert. Their dishes used to be rich and aromatic. Now bland and sweet. Still very nice decoration. Shame .

The food is the best thing about the Raj-delicious. A good choice of the usual fayre, with a few Raj specials but not the widest choice I’ve seen. Delicious grub though, cooked and served up quickly and efficiently. Nice decor and a good pint of Cobra. What lets the place down though is a small, confusing “car park”, and the service that goes with the meal. When I parked at the end of the front of the building, right next to a sign declaring that the space was “For Restaurant customers only”, a man in a small red car beeped at me and suggested I park on the roadside at the side of the building. I mentioned the sign, to be told that parking there would block the thoroughfare for traffic (delivery drivers?) and when I questioned the burgundy Jaguar FPace parked adjacent to me in not the most caring of manners, I was told that that car, although occupying a large amount of space in the car park that was “for Restaurant customers only” actually belonged to seemingly the proprietor of the adjoining convenience store. That was ok though……..🤔 Service, as I said, was another letdown. The same man in the red car appeared, like Mr Benn, once we were inside, and took our order efficiently enough, although we were pressured into the upsell of two onion bhajis when we tried to order just two mains and rices, with a paratha and a naan. They were very nice though. Our plates barely had time to be cleared of the last grains of rice though before they were cleared away by another male member of staff adorned by a face mask, and when clearing the final plates away, the same man lifted a napkin off my plate and literally threw it in front of me, which Steve, my dining partner, also noticed and was taken aback by. It was Steve’s turn to pay for the meal, which he did in cash, and I don’t think a tip of any magnitude was given. Or earned, to be honest. The food is, as I said, the best thing about the Raj. I think our next meal will be Chinese at Ponteland, which Steve raves about. Hopefully we’ll be made to feel a little more welcome there and I can park the car outside without complication. Hmm.

Great takeaway, even better restaurant. Really lucky to have this locally as it may be the best Indians in the North East. The takeaway here is great, every dish I've ever tried has been delicious and brilliantly cooked. The restaurant is always criminally empty so if you can it's well worth it to book a table and eat in as well, the foods somehow even better when it's hot and fresh out the kitchen.
