Raja Indian Restaurant Cambridge in Cambridge

An excellent Indian gem in the heart of Cambridge. We are Canadian, and in Western Canada the Indian food scene is still very much growing. Its light years ahead in the UK so the bar is pretty high, but Raja definitely rises to the challenge. The food was fabulous, very very flavorful, fresh and nicely presented. The whole tandoor chicken is a must, and it seemed like every table ordered it. I wouldnt have cooked it quite as thoroughly, but it was absolutely delicious. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful and wonderful to chat with. Itll definitely be on our got to go to list

Had a wonderful meal here on the 6th, food was amazing, staff absolutely lovely. Amazing value and atmosphere and prices won t hurt the student bank account too much. Definitely will return

Amazing food highly reccomend. Lovely staff.

We absolutely loved it here, delicious food, lovely staff. Thoroughly recommended

Amazing service. Amazing Food. Amazing People!

Small and quiet but nice atmosphere, butter chicken curry and the house chutneys are great. The staff and friendly and can have a laugh. Price isn t bad either.

First meal of Indian food at Cambridge! Super spicy curry and do love it!

Amazing food

Amazing food and service

Very good chicken curry with coconut rice, very friendly staff, would recommend!

Our experience at Raja was the best we could have hoped for. Immediately we were greeted with warm welcomes and big smiles and then had some of the best Indian food yet. Highly recommend the Thali dish to get a good sense of different Indian dishes! Thank you so much Raja!!

A very good Indian restaurant in Cambridge. The name of the restaurant is Raja, which is the name of the owner. The people are very nice and there are discounts for students.

The food was incredible and the service was quick and lovely. Definitely recommend :))

Great food, staff. Was very happy with our meal. Casual everyday place.

Ayb was a star! Amazing service and great food

It was a wonderful experience in this restaurant, great authentic food it was delicious and the staff were wonderful and welcoming 5 stars

Terrible

Initially a bit disappointed that our big group was split in half but they did an excellent job. Food was top notch!

Excellent meal here. 12 of us. Service superb and food really enjoyable.

Good food, great service, comfortable booth tables. Recommended.

A wonderful meal

Phenomenal food quick delivery massive portions... do I need say more

I wanted to like it after I saw it advertised in a food blog, but it needs improvement. A bit inconvenient that they close almost mid lunch so cant get served or Service feels rushed. Closing at 2pm... A bit early, I think. The thali, is advertised as a 7 item dish but I say it is more like 3-4 small portion items with a few extras. Poppadoms are not even a starter in my opinion so, this is not worth the price. Taste was OK, not sure I will rush to go back.

Nice food

Great food and service,

Very friendly staff, helpful, communicative. Find out what you eat and ask specifically how spicy you want to eat

I m still sitting in the restaurant after 9 hours it s so good. Make sure you order the vegetable madras with 6.4 cobras

Fabulous food, well presented. Probably the best Indian restaurant in Cambridge and the surrounding area. A must Vegetarian options: Lots to choose from

Good food, good wine! No complaints

Have been a few times and it is always excellent. Great service and delicious food! I had the Tiffin and loved the curry and the black daal.

Great food, great prices, great banter with the waitresses

Team adjusted us without any pre-booking! They are amazing team with fantastic food taste! Recommended for those visit in Cambridge! Vegetarian options: Many!

Probably my favourite restaurant in Cambridge. Raja low key slaps. Incredible selection of gluten and dairy free. The Afghani lamb is an absolute treat that takes you on a journey through time and space. Pair this with a few onion bhaji and chicken pakora, and you will find yourself in a place of utter happiness. Raja s are absolutely delightful, and I really enjoy chatting with them whenever I come in

Raja is amazing. Its definitely one of my favourite restaurants in Cambridge, I keep coming back. The service is fantastic; they are so obliging to modify dishes, especially to be gluten and dairy free. The food is exceptional. I have been making my way through the menu, and yet to find something thats not delicious. Take away from Raja is also great, but nothing beats eating at the restuarant. Dietary restrictions: Good for gkuten and dairy free

Awesome food and very friendly service.

the food was outstanding ready on time and 5 stars the service was even better. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you for looking after us. Thanks Cambridge Fire Station red watch

A very nice restaurant if you re into traditional Indian kitchen! We thoroughly enjoyed our food! Vegetarian options: A lot of vegetarian side dishes

Some of the best Indian food I ve had in England, the service is great and they give you great extras like pre meal chips and sauce and post meal sweets. Would recommend to anyone in the area

Daal and rice were amazing, lovely naans. Very affordable (side dishes are enough for a lunch with rice)

Royalty like service and excellent food with a relaxing atmosphere. Would highly recommend especially. I ordered the Raja Grill, desi loaded fries and mango lassi

Beautiful place with amazing food and lovely staff. Can definitely recommend

Great food and great service from Nima. Highly recommend the Aubergine Lamb

We are delighted to have discovered this restaurant - the food is so good, and the staff super friendly and efficient. I have a hard time with spice, and all the dishes can be made mild with no trouble. I havent seen some of the dishes in any other Indian restaurant - and they are all good! The decor is lovely as well - very airy and our group didnt feel crowded at all.

Amazing

Absolutely recommended!! Visiting Cambridge and stumbled across this little jewel. A chap coming out of the restaurant highly recommended the Fuchka and we werent disappointed. Everything we chose was absolutely delicious. A wonderful meal, reasonably priced (and were from the north!) that will be remembered for years to come. Staff were very welcoming and couldnt be more helpful.

Simple setting but the food is excellent. We rediscovered some Indian classics but with a twist and so subtle flavors. The stuffed naans were perfectly cooked (crispy outside still smooth inside) with excellent chutneys. The service was excellent inclusive of good advice and complementary dessert Our best indian experience for quite sometimes. Can only recommend Raja for all those reasons.

Friendly staff and amazing food

Thank you for the tiny free cheesecake, but it would have been better if you d sent the salad we paid for. Not the first time order has been short. ?!?

Excellent food, especially the beef with fenugreek, portions are large! Wasnt keen on the poppadom deluxe but maybe thats just our taste. Couldnt fault it otherwise. Would definitely return / recommend.

Wonderful restaurant, food was lovely. Recommend coming here, I will be back

One of the worst experiences ever. The samosa was burnt at first. Then the food portions we ordered were not served all at once until we called the manager and said this is only for 4 people when we were 8 and we ordered 2 portions each one serving 4 people . Then later on the food we ordered was very simple and not tasty, and we got charged at first £63 for 2 dishes of lamb Biryani which actually came missing the side served with it (dhall) and on the menu it is for £13 something. How is it possible to get charged that much for 2 dishes that should be maximum £30-32. Similarly with the chicken Biryani that was not on the menu and we were never told that it wasn t there when of our guests asked for it and it will be charged this amount, he decided to charge us £59 for it. Then the restaurant added other things we didn t order in our bill. They changed the bill 3 times for us and went down from £272 to £180 due to so many mistakes. However, the manager raised his voice and shouted at me, and decided to talk my male friend instead of me saying he doesn t want to argue with me as i was a female. I was like i am the one paying and this is absolutely unacceptable. He tried apologizing afterwards saying oh i want you to be a customer, forgive me. Anyway check your bill guys before paying, even though i do not recommend the place at all. Very unpleasant experience in front of my guests.

Very nice!! Would definitely recommend!!!

Great food, atmosphere & service loved the butter chicken

Best curry in cambridge Vegetarian options: Great Food : 5/5 |

We have been coming to the Raja for years and they never disappoint. Service is always very polite and very quick, and the staff are lovely. Food is great with a variety of regular curries and a huge menu of specials. They even sponsored our football team and gave us free cake for a friend s bday! Vegetarian options: Hella veg curry

Thank you to our dear friends at the Raja! We have been coming here for many years and we have always been looked after exceptionally well. The food is first-class, the staff are so friendly and the space is perfect. We hope to come back for many years! - Jack (The King s Men, Cambridge)

Simply the best!

Great tasting food.

I booked a table for a conference dinner, we had a fantastic time, the staff was super friendly and helpful and accommodate all our needs. Food was great too! My favourite were the onion bhaji!

Absolutely perfect food and service. Si is THE best!

Great food and fun people. Family run business, very loud guests on our particular visit, but overall good.

Vegetarian options: Great selection Food

Wonderful, as always. Been coming here for years. The best!

Fantastic food and service, truly our favorite in Cambridge!

Modern interpretation of an indian restaurant. Great food, nice an pleasant staff

Vegetarian options: Lovely food, also vegetarian. Great service Food

Amazing food, amazing service. We will be back soon. 5 star services

My favorite Indian restaurant in Cambridge - never had a bad dish here

Brilliant atmosphere, delicious food, excellent service.

Fantastic. Everything. Vegetarian options: All delicious. Food : 5/5 |

Great food and great service.

Raja is a very sweet/welcoming restauranteur; the butter chicken, nan bread and prawn dishes, were fabulous.

I love this quaint adorable place that resembles a vintage train station and has the best Indian food in town! The owner is also such a lovely welcoming and friendly person! It s a must try if you re in the Cambridge area!

Great food and atmosphere. Friendly staff.

The food is beyond good I recommend visiting, the staff is great

My colleagues and I swung by the Raja last night for a last-minute dinner, and it was a fantastic experience! Even though we hadnt booked beforehand, they were really accommodating and sat us down right away. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which created a great atmosphere. The menu at Raja is extensive, offering a wide variety of dishes. This made it easy for everyone to find something they enjoyed, regardless of their spice preference. Overall, it was a great night out, and Id definitely recommend checking out the Raja if youre looking for delicious Indian food in Cambridge.

Very nice food and great service. We showed up a bit late in the evening but they served us anyway which was great. The atmosphere is good and everyone working there is very nice and helpful.

Food was delicious. We enjoyed it. But we didnt have masala tea. Waitress told, that they doesnt have a masala tea, because owner went now to India. Probably he took with him a kettle Food

My favorite Indian restaurant in Cambridge! Wonderful atmosphere, great service and better food!

An Indian restaurant with many delicious tikka and biryani varieties The restaurant is quiet and not crowded, and we must book before arriving Fast service and reasonable price

Ordered from here on the 1st May. Food previously had been good in previous order. This time mint and mango chutney were missing and my coconut rice had been replaced with onion rice. Not impressed at all, especially as i dont like onion rice so my curry had no rice for it to go with, surely these things should be checked before sending out. Order #4928 deliveroo.

We had the Thali. It was not too bad.

Was our first time in Cambridge, a very pleasant experience. Food was truly amazing. And service was great

13 of us had a great evening at the Raja. The food was excellent. The staff were very attentive. Food recommendations from the staff were fantastic. We all had different types of meals so can t individually recommend them but the feed back was that they were all lovely and tasty. Will definitely go back sooner than later. We liked the lay out and the metal plates to eat off, very traditional

It was such a delightful experience to have dinner at this very beautiful restaurant, the service was really good, the food was delicious and very authentically Eastern Indian, Thank you for a wonderful experience!

The service was great! Very friendly! The food was delicious! Authentic Indian food in a great restaurant!

The flavours are washed out, and the tandoori items are obviously cooked in a normal oven / grill and not a tandoor oven, a very disappointing lack of char on those. The gravy items fare better, maybe go with those. 1. samosa chaat - 6/10 2. meat platter - 5/10 (taste is for British, not Indian) (very mild, the coriander chutney is flat, the chicken they give is a pretty unimpressive breast piece) 3. afghani lamb - 8/10 mild but flavourful and cooked well, a star 4. garlic naan - 9/10, solid 5. tandoori chicken - 5/10 (absolutely no char, definitely not cooked in an actual tandoor oven)

Meal at Raja was spectacular! Celebrated a Friend s Birthday there and they were superb in offering us free starters. The food was amazing, the staff is super attentive and it is honestly one of the best dining experiences in Cambridge.

Wow I hope you re hungry because the portions are big!!! Chicken dansak with onion rice and chips with green papadoms and free dip and it was absolutely amazing . You have to try this one out guys I highly recommend it ..

Its a small Restaurant with great food and service. I can whole heartedly recommend the afghani lamb. I couldve eaten a whole bathtubs worth. Its definetely in the mild side but is full of flavour Food

Food was extremely delicious. Came out over a great pace and we all had a great time.

Extremely friendly. Normal prices. Plenty vegan options. Just had to give an additional tip.

Simply fantastic the best indian food I have ever had. Had a great lovely waiter very kind and helpful. Food didnt take long. Great!!

I would give it a higher rating if I could! Honestly brilliant - brilliant food, brilliant staff, brilliant prices! Couldn t be happier!

Loved the food and service especially from our server, Nima. She was polite and helped us with the menu. We lovedddd the butter chicken and a the garlic and cheese naan. The price was worth according to the food. Loved the place overall. Must go.

Unfortunately my first time here and i felt the biriyani i had was a bit bland and did not have enough flavour. Even with the lentil curry, it was still lacking something. But i m happy with their timely service and enjoyed the poppadoms. Hope you don t mind, but hopefully this feedback will help you. All the best

Food was ok, service definitely not: The bill was presented when we hadnt finished yet. We made a reservation for 7 pm (and started earlier to be fair), but were asked to leave at 7:15 pm? ... Hint for the grumpy old man: Just politely ask next time if you would like to give the table away again ... Manners are key for the experience. PS: The rest of the staff (the young ones) were very nice and pleasant.

The food and also the service by the waitress were really good. Unfortunately the evening ended with a very unpolite behavior of the Restaurant Manager. After one hour, we were told that we can not order more food and drinks. Then he asked us to pay and leave the restaurant in a very unpolite way, as he needed the table for other guests. Never again!

Excellent as ever

A fantastic curry house. Very friendly greeting me by name after booking by phone at late notice. Delicious and good sized portions. Free water with the meal. Meal for 4 @£70 seems great value to me Highly recommended

Wonderful authentic dishes with fantastic and distinctive flavours. Nice presentation in a comfortable and nostalgic setting. The service was also phenomenal by lovely staff. Highly recommend the Shere Khan Chicken and the Mowgli Beef.

Dined here on boxing day with friends for the first time and so glad we did. The food was great, packed full of flavours and presented beautifully. It was matched by the warm and friendly service. Everything was spot on!

Highly recommend Raja Indian restaurant for service and great food to suit all tastes of spice

I visited Raja on New Years eve, was very please with the service, the food was excellent, the only advise I would give is that the madras is too hot. I will revist the restaurant again but order something mild, overall a great place to eat and to enjoy the atmosphere and deco of the indian railway .

While the food was very flavoursome and hot the restaurant itself was cold, it was a cold evening outside (-2) the restaurant itself had no heating other than in the toilet and a front door which kept blowing open in the breeze, the only way to really enjoy the meal was to sit wearing out coats.

An average Indian dinner. Had last week Roganjosh but wont recommend to anyone.

Poppadoms and pickles good. Lovely beef and black lentil curry, excellent! Naans OK as was my Prawn Puri. No sweets, which was a shame. Noise level significant on a Wednesday evening at 1900. Service friendly and pretty laid back! We look forward to returning!

Odd experience at the Raja this evening. Was enticed by the good looking menu and the comfy interior. But sadly the manager comes across as angry & deluded. So desperate to take your order and then move you on- but the restaurant was only half full and it was only 7pm?!

Rushed to order and eat, then staff took ages to take order. Food bland and tiny portions. Decor and atmosphere was only saving grace.

Top Cambridge curry, though portion size a little small by some comparison. Certainly the lamb dish was quite sparse? Having said that, staff team very attentive and gave a great service.

Good service, friendly atmosphere, good food, reasonable price, open late, assisted me when I left my wallet in there, interesting beer, put up with 5 middle aged men shouting at each other. Decent.

Family restaurant with excellent food and cosiness in spite of standard decor.

Nice venue, very tidy and well presented. Great place to meet with friends and enjoy drinks and good food. Menu has plenty to offer, and food is a good standard. Parking: Parking on the side streets is free after 6.30pm weekdays. Kid-friendliness: Took my 13 year old, was made to feel welcome.

It is a nice family business. The food was very nice. The owner of the place looked after us well. The beef was very delicious.

This is our third time in Cambridge and we have always been very satisfied. Food and service good. Staff very nice and accommodating. Always my pleasure

Lovely restaurant! Absolutely delicious food and such a welcoming staff

Resturant smells wit cooked meat. no proper ventilation

Absolutely 10|10 We were visiting from London and was not disappointed. The food was outstanding, the setting was perfect. The staff were fantastic, so helpful and lovey to chat with. You can t visit Cambridge and not come here for a meal. Please go and visit a fantastic family run restaurant. I wish this was in my local town

This was our first time dining at Raja, and it will be our last! My partner and I found the courses itself very nice, but unfortunately the meal was ruined by the service we received. After finishing our meal we asked to take the leftovers home (quite common). Bearing in mind this restaurant does also offer a takeaway and delivery service, we were told no, we do not do doggy bags. The owner argued that he would prefer us to eat his dishes in the restaurant, and that there wasnt enough food left to take home whilst lifting the last nann breads with his fingers. When I responded he walked away whilst I was mid sentence. We were quite honestly shocked! We had noticed earlier that the owner had reprimanded a member of staff in front of us/other customers, due to a miscommunication with our drinks order. He then went behind the bar and aggressively threw 2 beer bottles in the sink. I do not often leave bad reviews, but I have never come across such a bad attitude as a customer in the hospitality industry.

Just brilliant service and food from this nicely presented restaurant. Made our night even better with a welcoming atmosphere.

Dissatisfied with delivery and pertain no telephone manners who was at phone.

Delicious indian food, familyfriendly and excellent service

Great place, great staff and great food1 Really looked after us and honestly couldnt ask for anymore

What an awesome find. Came across this by chance and very glad we did. Its got a good food menu and the excellent kingfisher beer is available here too which I love. Food was very innovatively presented and quite tasty. I was impressed by the Thali and highly recommend it. Looking forward to visiting again!

Nice food and good service

Amazing curry and amazing customer service! My boyfriend and I get takeaway from here regularly and never have any complaints, always 10/10 in every regard.

Pretty amazing food. Staff are nice and welcoming.

Excellent food, great service and a relaxing atmosphere. Recommended.

Really amazing, loved the food and the staff were brilliant

A wonderful experience Food are delicious with excellent services Highly recommmended

£34.. Chicken tikka masala For 1 course and 2 poppadoms...

Unplanned visit turned out very well as we had a quick meal before going for a Saturday night out. The staff was friendly and accommodating to our needs before the closing hour. I look forward to visiting you next time with more time to enjoy your delicious food.

Great atmosphere and service but I got Tikki Masala and it had an entirely different flavor than I ve ever experienced. It was too sweet and very grainy, so while I appreciated the experience, I didn t like the food at all.

Great service and wonderful food!

Wow, better than all the restaurants on Brick lane together !! Once again the best !! Absolute magic Food : 5/5

The food is disgusting and the manager is very rude avoid avoid at all cost

Food was absolutely horrendous. Watered down, no flavour. Even the vindaloo was bland?!

Very nice food.

Reading some of the reviews, Im a bit confused as to whether these are pertaining to the same restaurant or not. My family & I found all the food to be fantastically flavoured. Great choices for all pallettes. Personally, Id prefer it to be slightly more spicy, but thats not a criticism, its just my taste. All dishes, including mango lassy drinks were very tasty. Highly recommend a visit to this restaurant and if we lived closer by, itd become a regular visit.

Had a really tasty meal here, chicken tikka ceylon was delicious and just the right amount of spice for me. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed their meal. The mushroom rice was fluffy and tasty and the garlic naan perfect. If we lived closer this would be a new favourite. Food

Welcome greeting by staff excellent,Excellent food and presentation. Excellent customer service. The restaurant clean and tidy. A must visit this restaurant...

Food quantity is less for a higher price. We had to order paneer and its gravy separately (for the spice), which just sounds absurd. The chickpeas were bland too even after we told them to make it spicy. However, the atmosphere was good and the taste was not too bad.

Averagely overpriced food. The vegetable bhaji on our shared platter was very dry and obvious it s prepared in advance and left on a hot plate / cupboard. The aubergine slice in batter was bland, tasteless. The sag paneer was very bland, not seasoned well, the tandoori roti wasn t cooked fully and parts were raw. Very disappointed with the food. The chefs and wider team need to improve or this will damage their reputation,

I had a lovely and affordable meal at this family-owned Indian restaurant in Cambridge, I d highly recommend going there for dinner due to the friendly staff and nice ambience!

Fantastic food, been about 12 months since my last visit, and still one of the best curries I have had.

Good food good service

Great food, Shere Khan is a must try if you like a spicy dish!

Poor quality Indian food. Disappointing experience

Worst food taste, not good taste at all. Not recommended Food

Very nice food and service was really great. I would pop in again if Im ever in Cambridge.

Great discovery a few minutes from the historic center of Cambridge. Its really very good. Totally fresh. And the service is remarkably friendly. Go there with your eyes closed!

Worst curry I ve had in a while. Extremely overpriced, tiny portions, and no better than a basic ready meal. Have never been so upset about a meal out.

Worst restaurant ever. I wouldn t recommend to anyone. We had very bad experience. The manager was so rude when we ordering food. Very poor customer service. Never ever go to this restaurant. We spent £111 for 6 guests which is equal to £18.50 per person. We ve been to so many restaurants in the UK. This was the first time that we were unwelcome in the restaurant and the manager doesn t know how to speak to customer politely. Please don t go.

Poor quality food, food tasteless, chicken was rock hard & undercooked with pink flesh in between. One of the staffs mannerism was appaling & we had to tell him not to serve us. We ordered boneless chicken but got something else with bone, the curry tasteless the worst I have eaten in my life, dont waste your time going there. There are better places in Cambridge. I know where not to go next time . Dr K.

Had a lovely meal! Last night we arrived late at night and the team we re so accommodating to get a table for us. Great food, flavour so fresh and hot. 100% recommend! Vegetarian options: Lots of yummy veggie options!

Welcoming service, good atmosphere (especially since they have refurbished). My partner who has been going to the Raja since it opened introduced it to me. Highly recommended! Food

Very small but fine and tasty Indian restaurant.

Excellent Thalia and Aghani Lamb. Also loved the poppadums and chutneys

The food is very authentic, with plenty of flavour. The menu is somewhat limited compared to typical Indian restaurants. That said, theres plenty of variety, so Im sure everyone will find something. The service was very efficient but not overly friendly or flexible. One dish we wanted came with a certain rice, which we didnt particularly want, so we asked if we could swap it for another and pay any difference. The answer was an emphatic no, we would have to order the rice we wanted as an incremental dish, which we did. Also, on Sundays they offer free poppadoms and chutneys. We had one each, they charged us for them. We mentioned this. They said nothing in response but took the cost off and added a 10% service charge. We were going to leave a tip anyway, so no big deal but hopefully, this gives you a sense of the service and the way customers are treated. Would I go back? For the food, yes, but as an overall experience, doubtful.

Worst customer service I ever had. Very rude, ill mannered, pathetic. Dinning Table was oily and sticky. Don t waste your time Food : 1/5 |

Amazing quality food and plenty of it. Very reasonable pricing too. I had the Thali and it was superb. Great service with friendly staff. Amazing bonus of a birthday cake for my other half too. Thanks so much for a great evening.

One of the busiest indian restaurant in Cambridge, lovely staff, lovely owner very gentle man......good food

All a bit meh . Lovely people working there, ambience was ok . Food was so bland, so bland... Walked away feeling like I hadn t had a curry?!

The staff were absolutely amazing, very tentive and great attitude and help. Unfortunately just for us, the food wasnt to our taste. I think it caters more for the non Asian palette. Food

Visited while on holidays to the UK from Australia. The food, hospitality, aesthetics, and intentional care provided by the owner and workers was honestly 11/10 service, it was so lovely to feel taken care of after a long hot day (during the heat wave). Highly highly recommend. Was a lovely experience :) Dietary restrictions: Halal

Excellent food , great service and family atmosphere

Amazing food, very good prices for the quality and quantity. Highly recommended.

Staff are very nice, food is also great. The curry is very rich in flavour: I enjoy the afghani lamb the most.

The food was really good. Amazing Indian food and prices are higher than average but totally worth it. The ambience is really nice as well. The staff were very friendly and gave very good suggestions. Will definitely visit more often.

Nice and cosy restaurant in the heart of Cambridge. Good food and excellent service. Highly recommended.

Fantastic

Superb food with a wide range of authentic Indian flavors, but most importantly above and beyond service from the staff. Me and my wife came here for our wedding anniversary and could not have chosen a better place. Thank you for making our day special. We will recommend to others warmly and will be back soon.

Food portions are quite small!

This is not a review of the restaurant per se, but of the staff and management: On 19 Nov 2023, along with 9 other people, I witnessed A MEMBER OF STAFF ASSAULT A MAN who was drunk (and probably homeless). It seems the man had entered the restaurant, but was on his way out. Staff pushed him very hard making him fall badly. He fell onto another person, but if he hadnt, his head would have hit the edge of the kerb and he would have been SERIOUSLY INJURED. A more senior member of staff defended his colleague, and refused to make a report to the police. (We rang the police, but they wouldnt accept a report from a third party.) Id call this bad service and a bad atmosphere

Food was delicious and had wonderful customer service

Worst butter chicken I ve ever tried, somehow the sauce was basically flavourless, with the small hint of flavour being what I can only describe as brocolli water.

Mowgli beef was amazing, however the butter chicken was very bland and didnt really have any depth. Same can be said about the tandoori chicken. The lamb chops and kebabs that came in the raja grill was really top notch and so was the masala fries which I would say is a must try. Food

Smokey

Ok, so the chicken in the curries was too dry, but this place still deserves 5 stars for food as the flavours were amazing. I have been eating and cooking Indian food for over 30 years and am often disappointed by Indian restaurants, but not this one. Everything tasted as it should and then some. The vindaloo was deliciously hot and sour without being overpowering, the ceylon filled your mouth with delicious coconut and subtle spice, the aubergine side dish really tasted of aubergine, the lime and cashew rice delicious and the only problem with the bread basket was I wanted to eat it all!

We visited Raj recently when on a short break to Grantchester to visit our daughter. We d been to the restaurant previously and had a nice meal each time and were well looked after by the staff. But on our last visit the chef and front of house team surpassed even their own high standards. Ordering the Kashmir Lamb main course for the first time, that was superb, our compliments to the chef resulted in another portion of Kashmir plus rice and popadom all on the house. I can t recommend the restaurant and the team enough. If you ve not been then you simply have to go there. We ll be back again in June for graduation and another excellent meal and experience. Thank you guys, see you June 24!

Beautifully crafted curry here, wonderful spices, careful but not fussy presentation, inventive menu including all the classics ..... ticks every box and more. Great decor, lovely family running the place and friendly owner. Perfect for our 10th anniversary. Cant wait for our next visit!

I am literally still sitting here! Amazing food and EXCELLENT service. In love with the aubergine and paneer side dishes and really recommend the thali (mixed platter and delicious). Popadoms super tasty! I cannot say it enough, the staff is incredibly friendly nd attentive- excellent service. The owner is very passionate about the place, and you can tell but how good the experience is. Can t wait to visit Cambridge again and have dinner at Raja!

This is my favorite traditional Indian/Bangladeshi restaurant in Cambridge. It has amazing ambience and the staff are so sweet. The Black Daal and Sag Paneer are some of the best I ve ever had! Can t recommend it enough ~

Great food and very cozy vibes - perfect for a winter night.

Amazing food and super friendly!

The Peshwar naan is legit if you are a coconut lover!! The restaurant also has very nice and cosy interior design.

Delicious affordable Indian food. Very friendly owner
