Oh yeah!

What a delight! At first it is easy not to notice Raja Tandoori with its unimposing but, when you take a second look, delightful exterior. Inside it pretty much looks like so many of your classic Indian restaurants with heavy, colourful decoration. It's about as classic as it gets! The menu is quite vast, all the Indian classics as well as some British favourites - although I have to say people don't really come here for the latter! The thing that I truly appreciate about Mr. Chaudhery's (he's the boss here!) eatery is the fact that you are guaranteed to find something that will suite your taste buds. First thing is that there is a healthy range when it comes to your food's heat - we're talking the mildest of the mild right through the hottest of the hot dishes - an option that I find many of the other Indian restaurants in the area lack as, in my experience, most of their food is just plain hot! Not great when your pallet isn't wired for those Jalfrezes or Vindaloos! Both veggies and meat lovers will find something that suits them on this menu, there's also some surprising and interesting fish dishes. One of the simplest dishes on the menu is my resounding favourite - the Mulligatawny soup - with a nan a meal in itself! Whilst I have yet to find something to fault in Mr. Chaudhery's food the service is friendly and always delivered with a smile, most of the time Mr. Chaudhery himself will take a turn at your table to check on his customers. They have some great early week meal deals and recently added a Sunday special too. Always a pleasure, thank you Mr. Chaudhery!
