Visited The Raj with friends from Kettering. Excellent customer service - the welcome was caring, the attention to detail ( like taking your drinks to table) was refreshing. The food was excellent and the after-meal entertainment upstairs in the Piano Bar was first class. The service really s above the average. All-in-all a very good eating experience. This is one...

I have been keen to visit The Raj for a year or so as I am a regular visitor to Kettering, yet after finally eating here yesterday evening I cannot emphasise my disappointment enough. The atmosphere was ok, though no more than you would expect in most curry houses on a Saturday evening. We were sat in a corner table... More

Hospitality, surroundings, food and value are unbeatable.I've been to many Indian restaurants around the country but this has to be the best all round experience I've had.

We visited The Raj on Valentine's evening and had the most wonderful time. The restaurant always impresses on style but this surpassed all expectations. We were shown to our table upstairs in R91. Normally this is a lovely cocktail lounge to relax and enjoy a pre or post meal drink. For Valentines night the room had been transformed. The candlelit... More

I'm a bit surprised by the rave reviews on this site.The food was ok,but I've had better Baltis in Thrapston where I live.The service was attentive,but my 3 companions and myself all found the closeness of the tables quite intimidating,barely room to squeeze between them.It made for a unrelaxing evening.I would expect a bit more privacy at these prices.

We have just returned from an amazing evening at 'The Raj'. The whole place was filled with red balloons and red roses for the ladies. Upstairs romantic music from a live pianoist - what more could you want. We have been regulars at the Raj for over 20 years and cannot fault the service or food. The decor has transformed... More
