Customer Review Summary
Pizza anchors most accounts here, with the achar pizzas and a Paneer masala pizza praised for flavor and the chicken zinger burger singled out as a standout, alongside wraps, wings and samosas from what one reviewer calls an old school menu. Several describe fast turnaround even during busy rushes and note extras like chips and a drink thrown in with an order. But a substantial thread of complaints runs alongside this: multiple reviewers report pizzas arriving raw, watery, or oily with rubbery cheese, one wrap described as chicken chopped up instead of full strips, and staff described as blunt, grumpy, or rude, including one account of a request to wash hands being denied and another describing dirty seating areas. One long-time customer instead describes the staff as having gone out of their way during a family illness. The experience seems to split sharply between visits reviewers found reliably good and others they call a disappointing decline from what it used to be.

“We ordered a Veg Hot pizza for us, pizza was ok, however the person on the Till was so frustrated and so rude. No Customer services at all, it seems like we were bagging rather than ordering and paying for it. Requested for a hand wash in the toilet and denied by the Front end staff, comprising with poor Health and safety with customers. I wouldn't come back again for sure, and do not recommend anyone aswell.”

“Ordered 3 pizzas, which are now 20 quid, and some wings. I have absolutely no clue what they put in it but it by far has to be the worst thing I’ve ever eaten. The pizza was raw on the inside and just full of oil and rubbery cheese. The wings don’t even taste like chicken. The staff were extremely blunt and act like you don’t exist. I also waited over 30 mins for my order and it wasn’t even busy.”

“Ordered this Paneer masala pizza. Definitely recommend this to anyone who is considering going to Rajas pizza and grill. Food was delicious, wasn’t waiting long at all, service was amazing. I’ve ordered a few times from Raja’s and their food never disappoints. Definitely worth trying out ✅”
