Superb food - everything tasted about as good as it gets. The meat samosas were full of flavour. The chicken dhansak and saag aloo were up there with the very best. Atmosphere and service were great, too. I look forward to trying other dishes. Highly recommended.

The Raj Garden was closed for a short time in wave 2 of Covid and I had to swap to the Don. I have to say it reaffirms just how good the food is from the Raj. I can not recommend this restaurant enough the best Indian in town
