The Raj - Southend-on-Sea

Absolutely appalled by the experience we had on Sat night. Booked a table for 11 people (family came down from Ipswich, a yearly catch up). It was booked a couple of months ago and confirmed on the day. Was never told there were a few sittings. Our meal came fairly quickly and all was good up to that point. As soon as our meal was finished so our bill came which we never asked for as we were still drinking. They never even asked if we wanted a dessert or further drinks. We sat for a short while but was asked to leave as they needed the table. We were fuming as it had only been just over an hour since we got there. A long way to come for an hour. Needless to say we will not be going there again. So please when booking there make sure they tell how long you have.

Took an hour and 55 minutes to arrive. Had to keep calling to find out where it was. Lied to by person answering the phone about when it would get to us. Food was bland and luke warm when it did finally arrive. Absolutely terrible and when phoned and wanted money back was offered a bottle of soft drink. Totally ruined our evening. AVOID ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS

Ordered a first time takeaway from Raj. Was told 20 minutes. We normally would collect a takeaway but thought we would let them deliver. After an hour we rung up to be told it was ready but awaiting driver. Another 20 minutes we rang to be told it was with the driver. When my husband said it would be cold the manager said I call police and said he cancelled the order. Great customer service!!!! Unbelievable. My husband wasnt rude but just explained that 1 hr 20 minutes .this is not acceptable.so the order was cancelled and we have to wait 2/3 days for a refund. We will never go back there. The Khan shoebury is a better option. Should have stuck with them.

Always delivers on quality,portions,and value.Just eat happy to bring to the Echo Park estate, near Cuckoo Corner Cannot fault it !!!!

I can honestly say this has been the best indian meal we have had in such a long time. Food arrived hot, generous portions, chicken was tender and moist not dry like most other indians restuarants/takeaways serve up. 100% we recommend this place over and beyond any others in the area. A big thank you to the team who prepared, cooked and delivered the meals for a family of 4. Michelle
