The Raj

2 Rohit Singh - 3 years ago

The reason I am giving 2 stars is purely because their ambience was 5 star. 1 star for the food and price. It is one of those places where you can for a romantic dinner, spend some time and enjoy the ambience. The food caters to the local's taste of Indian Cuisine, rather than being authentic Indian. Everything will be a bit milder and sweeter compared to a real authentic Indian taste. Also, Raj as usual is among the costlier Indian restaurants in Joburg. And inspite of the extra cost, they don't serve complimentary rice with curries, which is customary and every other Indian restaurant does. However the staff was friendly.

Think this place is pretty and smart with good service in that you dont wait too long to place your order and recieve the meal. Has nice appeal to it, indian food is tasty and hits the spot especially when you have that indian food craving.

Leans towards authentic Indian cuisine (as opposed to South African Indian). Food is decent but there are other restaurants in Joburg that make the chicken Tikka masala much better. Very pricey .. a vegetarian meal priced just R10 less than a chicken meal... doesn’t really make sense. Also for the high prices , naan or rice isn’t included (I’m not sure if this has changed because i ordered previously from Uber eats and rice was included ) . The service is in the average-to-good range, and the ambience in the restaurant is pleasant especially for a romantic night out. no reservation was needed on weekdays ... we were the only ones at the restaurant on a Tuesday evening .

Just walking into the RAJ there was the smell of good Indian cuisine everywhere.

From the waiter to the authentic Indian cuisine, it was an amazing experience.

Definitely going back there soon.

I ordered a meal for take away. Chicken Tikka Masala. Cost R128.00
The Chicken was dry and stiff, not fresh...and no fresh ingredients was used in making sauce.
It was a paste. Left an uncomfortable after taste.
Really disappointing for an upmarket location and ambiance.

Ordered a Fish curry through Uber eats. This was the worst curry I have ever had. The fish was dry(like it was cooked last week) and the curry sauce was very bland. Even the naan bread left a lot to be desired. Very disappointed, the dish was over priced and terribly made. I will not order or dine in there again. There is way better indian cuisine available from more reasonably priced restaurants.
