Cafe Raj

I would never ever eat here again. We were a large group and we were offered a £10 per person deal for starter, main, naan/rice and 11 bottles of wine. To start off the wine was literally vinegar, like I don’t mean cheap wine I think it was actually vinegar. The white wine that we had must have been mixed with a sugar solution as it was cloudy and never settled. They seemed in a rush to serve us and mixed up our starters because they wouldn’t listen to what we said we actually ordered. They started handing out the wrong curries and just tried to ‘trick’ us into thinking we got the right ones. This was just the start as when we received the bill they had overcharged us one person and then there was a charge for £19.50 and when I asked what this was for I was told it was for poppadoms. We had asked the waiter if poppadoms were included and were told yes so I said that this was a ridiculous charge that we were not paying as we didn’t order them and told they were free. The man/manager/waiter started to get aggressive at us and I said, ‘Do I look stupid that I would pay £19.50 for poppadoms?’. The waiter/man replied, ‘Yes you do look stupid!’. After this followed a swearing match with the restaurant in which they continued to yell at us and insult my whole table as we attempted to leave the restaurant. I would never recommend this place as I have never been treated with such disrespect in any establishment before and would not expect this from any restaurant in any country.

Terrible, stay away from this place. I should have followed my instinct when I saw the place empty. The dish I asked had a watery sauce and the meat uneatable. Avoid

Was tempted into cafe raj by a great deal of 25% off the bill & a free bottle of wine but was sorely disappointed with the food. It has to have been the blandest curry I have ever eaten-I am including ready meals in this statement also. We sent in back with the guarantee the next one would have more flavour but got the exact same curries back. Will never eat there again!

Cafe Raj, Brilliant Place, although off brick lane it's a very good place, the food is quite simply delightful. Good price, got a 3 Course meal for £12 only with drinks! Good service, Fast and very polite. Good Reccomend!
