Saturday, May 30, 2009 - With a pint of draught Kingfisher nicely freezing my hand, the menu at Hason Raja looked reassuring. So did the room, a standard Indian restaurant of the late 80s with lots of light ersatz wood about and waiters in dinky uniforms. I asked one what he would recommend as a main course, ‘oh the chicken tikka masala!’ he said, quick as a flash. I searched his features for signs of irony, but he seemed completely serious…This is an Indian that plays by old skool rules with mostly Bangladeshi dishes and it does the job well. Not fine dining but fill you up food with a subtlety that marks it out from more suburban ‘Indians’.

After a near 2 year absence from this delightful Indian restaurant in Holborn I decided to once again make an appearance along with a friend of mine whom I extended an invitation to and when we arrived we were greated with the most polite and most courteous waiting team who have made out time at their restaurant a pleasant and relaxing one from the word go.

The food is a joy as always and my friend really liked the food they served as much as I did, we give our very best compliments to the busy chef and cooks who go out of their way to provide us with such good food and is a highly recommended restaurant for those who love Indian food.

Well done to all the waitering team and kitchen staff for providing such excellent service and cooking such delicious food and hopefully the Hason Raja will be around for several more years to come for loads of hungry folks who adore Indian food just as much as we do.

Chose this place as i was looking for a reasonably priced indian in central to meet a few friends for a reunion. The prices are good for this location in central london and the menu is extensive and interesting. I enjoyed all the food i ordered, including some interesting side dishes. However i was dissatisfied with the service, within moments of being seated i felt rushed into ordering both drinks and food and when we asked for some more time the waitor did not seem pleased and given that the restaurant was not full i didn't understand why we were being rushed.

The starter came within 15 seconds of ordering which was a little disconcerting. The main meal was very nice and was laid out nicely in the centre of the table. However, following that, the waitor came back several times while we were eating to ask if we were finished which we clearly weren't and they then cleared away our glasses without offering us any more drinks and then brought the bill without us asking for it. I was prepared to stay a while and order another drink/coffee but was cut short. With respece to the service we had received we decieded to pay only 80% of the service charge, and as we got up to leave the waitor came back and asked for the remaining service charge. I pointed out this was not compulsory and left. I would recommend this restaurant for a reasonably priced tasty indian in central but i would not return on account of the service.

What a shame that the high quality of the food was ruined by dismal service. It took forever to get some water and the main dishes took a long time to come out. The staff were impatient when we asked for explanations regarding the dishes that they served.
