  “I keep on refusing to go to eat Indian food because in general I find the offerings substandard or greasy or lacking in protein or heavy or all of the above. I booked our table at Le Raj a few weeks ago mainly for my husband, who loves Indian food. Much better than your average Indian restaurant but not as good as Rawalpindi in Twickenham used to be is how I would put it. A lovely place for intimate dinners or celebrations with anyone you love. Nice decor and good service. The French house white wine was none too shabby. If you're not drinking, you can keep the cost down. Still a bit low on the protein and the orange juice was very poor quality. The aircon should have been turned on sooner. All my clothes will be aired and then if not better have to go into the wash tonight. Worth a trip out into the suburbs? Yes to feel a bit spoiled. I would not say the food was mind-blowing but it was perfectly pleasant with nice flavours and not swimming in grease like the meals served in some establishments.”

  “Went here for my daughter’s birthday, was an amazing experience!! Food was great, had the chicken tikka curry, probably the best I’ve ever had. Service was great, staff were very welcoming and food came out right away.”

  “I had an absolutely outstanding experience at Le Raj. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and beautifully designed, striking the perfect balance between comfort and elegance. The service was exceptional. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, genuinely friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. What impressed me most was the consistency across everything: food, service, and ambiance were all top-tier. It’s rare to find a place that gets every element just right. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning soon!”

  “Visited Le Raj recently and honestly had a really nice experience. The food came out fresh, hot, and full of flavour, i really loved their chicken tikka masala and specially the naan was soft and fresh. Staff were very welcoming ,polite and friendly. The place has a relaxed atmosphere, good for both family dinners and casual nights out. Service was quick even though it was fairly busy. Prices were reasonable for the quality and portion sizes too. Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants around Epsom. Would happily go back again.”

  “More of a formal Indian restaurant with nice old world charm, very friendly attentive staff, clean and pleasant. My partner enjoyed her cocktail in particular which was quite well done certainly for a restaurant setting. Nice crispy fresh poppadoms and good quality chutneys, raita and pickles. Skipped starters as decided to have multiple sides for main course. Partner vegetarian so she went for a vegetable based curry, medium which she enjoyed, along with an aloo kobi(cauliflower and potatoes) a spiced pumpkin dish(Lau Bhajee) and an okra dish (Bhindi Bhajee), for myself I went with a Beef Vindaloo which used a Naga chilli. The beef was slow cooked although not quite so tender as I had expected and the heat level was far more towards a medium but enjoyable and well balanced. The coconut rice was a bit wet, water still at the bottom of the bowls served in and tasted fine but packed any punch of coconut. The naans were nice, slight crisp outer with fluffy inside, drizzled with ghee, I went with the coconut version which again tasty although drizzled with honey and made for a very sticky affair b with no finger bowl provided (when asked though the team went above and beyond to provide a large bowl with small lemon pieces and warm water, however am surprised this wasn't a standard affair as am sure others must hit the same issue). After dinner they do provide a nice warm mini towel which was a nice touch. Prices towards the higher side(but not extortionate) which was expected, the quality and service justified. Nice theatrical presentation of an after dinner chocolate and Turkish delight a bowl surrounded with a little dry ice which the server pours hot water over to give a lovely smokey visual spectacle Portions were of a decent size, a reasonable and sensible size. We did end up taking a little of my partners curry and a small amount of sides home and were full. Unfortunately resulting in us not trying any dessert which there was a reasonable selection for an Indian restaurant and a good selection of after dinner alcoholic drinks, coffees and teas. One dessert option that particularly intrigued was 'a can't decide' option whereby for a price that was lower than the other options the team would choose for you, no doubt a selection that they had higher amounts of or short shelf life left but a clever god value option that for sure we'll try next time. Adorned to the walls at the entrance are various photos of celebrities that have enjoyed the restaurant, a bit of fun to browse at the end of a lovely evening. Discretionary service added to the bill at 10% which was reasonable so was happy to round the bill up to closer to 15% after an enjoyable service and evening.”

  “Fine dining restaurant. Nice decor, a bit darker inside. The staff are very nice and the service was quick. We were the only people in the restaurant. Not child friendly at all. No high chairs. They opened the bottled water without asking us first. Food wise, the poppadams were good along with the assorted condiments. The chapatis were good. The daal had a little too much garlic, was otherwise ok. The paneer was a pinkish in colour, something i have never seen before. The rice was ok. All in all, the food was average. If i had other options, I wouldn’t eat here.”

  “Le Raj is absolutely sublime, every ingredient tastes fresh and perfectly selected. No matter what you choose to have, it always tastes authentic and Michelin star. I have never had a bad experience with any dishes and cannot shout loud enough from any mountain top as to how good Le Raj is!!!”
