  “Incredible spot! I ordered a delivery Tuesday lunch. I had the Thali, every single dish was gorgeous. It wasn’t oily or watery. The curry was thick and rich in depth, the tikka was full of warm spice. Shockingly my favourite part was the vegetable mix (veg curry). The Rogan Josh packed with tender meat. Naan was sweet and pillowy. I often regret getting a takeaway for lunch… this was not one of those times. Really great quality and portion size for the price. I’ll be ordering again 10/10”

  “Very professional service and great food! The restaurant was extremely clean and good very high quality. I had the chicken tikka and my partner had lamb tikka masala, both extremely tasty. Wasn’t super busy on a Thursday night and is quite tucked away in begbrook so would be easy to miss but definitely deserves more custom!!”

  “Had a delivery from here, Portion sizes were good, but the food quality was mixed and not good. Sag aloo was really tasty, but the rogan josh was quite bland. Biryani was mostly just rice with 3 pieces of very dry & overcooked chicken. Big shame, as we expected more based on the reviews.”

  “Been to this place before and it was great about two years ago. Now it seems to have gone downhill. Food wasn’t nice, there seemed like there was just no flavour, everything, and i mean everything tasted so heavy with tomato. I’ve worked in restaurants before and tasted alot of Indians. I had high hopes going here again but it really let me down. The lamb biriyani was absolutely shocking. Tasteless. It tasted like pilau rice with some lamb pieces, thats it. The lamb was dry, it stuck to the roof of my mouth. It looks dry, like it had been left to air out for a couple days (see photos) they did remove the price of the lamb biriyani and the manager was friendly but after this experience its a shame that i wont be returning.”

  “RayMahal has clearly stood the test of time, having been around for 35 years, and after my visit, I can absolutely see why. From the moment I walked in, I was met with warmth and genuine hospitality. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and made sure everything was just right throughout the evening. Onto the food, because that’s where RayMahal truly shines. No Indian meal is complete without poppadoms, and RayMahal does them just right. They were crisp, fresh, and served with a generous tray of dips and sauces. The standout for me was the mango chutney, sweet and tangy, and the perfect complement to the crunchy poppadoms. It’s the kind of simple starter that sets the tone for a great meal. For the main course, I had the lamb pasanda, a sweet and creamy coconut based curry that was absolutely delicious. The sauce had a beautiful balance, rich without being too heavy, with that subtle sweetness from the coconut that paired perfectly with the tender lamb. The meat was cooked to perfection, soft, juicy, and full of flavour in every bite. The rice was fluffy, fragrant, and cooked just right, not oily or clumpy, which is always a good sign. I also ordered the chilli cheese naan, which brought a nice kick of spice and a cheesy richness that paired wonderfully with both the pasanda and the chicken tikka. The chicken tikka was another highlight. It’s a dish that’s often served too dry in other places, but here it was juicy and full of flavour. The smoky tandoor seasoning was spot on, and it worked beautifully with the chilli cheese naan. Even the toilets were clean, and to me, that always says a lot about a restaurant. It shows they take cleanliness seriously across the board, not just in the dining area. All in all, RayMahal exceeded expectations. The combination of friendly service, high quality food, expertly cooked dishes, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to see why this place has been a favourite for decades. I will definitely be coming back, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend RayMahal for a work do or a group meal. It’s a gem of a restaurant that clearly takes pride in every detail.”

  “Our first visit. One of the best Indian restaurants we have been too. Fantastic food and they catered the low/no spice level for our young children too. Lovely service, clean and welcoming. WiFi available too which is fab bonus for the kids!”

  “Please avoid this place as the chef doesn’t have a clue about INDIAN COOKING. Went this afternoon for lunch but messed up my meal completely. Very disappointed. I would like to post pictures of the dishes ordered and they are not anywhere close to Indian food. Nan was not authentic and hopeless. All the mains were cooked in same curry. The receipt is hand written and when you pay by credit or debit card it appears as GRAND BENGALI INDIAN RESTAURANT and not RAJ MAHAL. NOT AUTHENTIC AND NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL. Kindly find alternate. I believe all reviews on the google are PAID.”
