Quick info
About The Raj
The Raj is an Indian restaurant in Wigan, built around traditional Bangladeshi cuisine and run as a contemporary curry house. Colourful mood lighting fills the dining room, so the setting is as modern as the format. The menu lists 16 dishes, and the curry choices include Saag, Vindaloo and Karahi, which diners can order by name from the list. The kitchen's focus stays on Bangladeshi cooking rather than a broad mix of regional styles. Guests who arrive by car can use the free parking on site.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the food, calling it delicious, and several rank it among the best Indian they have had, with one singling out a Lamb Rogan Josh as the best in a long time. A vegetarian dish suggested to one diner's wife turned out to be great, and a takeaway order left another reviewer impressed and calling the price good. Friendly, welcoming staff come up repeatedly, and a few describe the service as excellent and the prices as competitive. The one complaint comes from a reviewer who loved the food but felt staff were more interested in football on the TV than in checking whether tables needed anything. That diner still plans to keep going back for the cooking. One visitor on a work trip had two spicy poppadoms sent over by a local.
