About Little Raj

Little Raj serves Indian food from an old building on North St in Ashford. The kitchen prepares lamb chops and lamb shank alongside popadoms and chicken biriyani, with Bombay aloos among the vegetable dishes, and all food is halal. A buffet runs on Wednesdays, and a separate Sunday special package gives another set option for those meals. Staff check in periodically during service. Car parking near the restaurant is limited, so some guests arrive on foot or account for that when planning a visit.

Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly single out the lamb chops and lamb shank from the newer menu as standouts, with several also praising the chicken tandoori and chicken biriyani and one reviewer highlighting the Bombay aloos. Portion sizes come up again and again, described as massive with plenty of leftovers, and the curry and spice levels are consistently called flavorful and well balanced. Takeaway orders draw particular enthusiasm, with one regular calling a recent curry the best eaten in years and noting the generous amount of meat. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, attentive, and accommodating, including with large groups and children, and several mention the cozy atmosphere of the building itself. One reviewer flags a lack of car parking as a downside. A single takeaway order drew a negative report, describing every dish, including the madras, as tasting like butter and causing discomfort afterward, leading that reviewer to say they would not order again.

    “What a little gem! The restaurant has plenty of space inside with good sturdy chairs. Lighting and atmosphere is cozy and pretty. The food was excellent, we had the Tabdoori platter, lamb shank, special mixed rice, kong prawn jalfrezi peahawari naan, lamb chops and some Other stuff (we were a large party) they were very accommodating. We had a lot of children with us too. Spice level was adjusted to what we wanted. The staff were so lovely, patient, accommodating and friendly. I can’t recommend this place enough. 5* from all aspects.”
