The Raj (swindon) - West Swindon

Food average. Expensive. That aside, it appears that the owner of this establishment will not allow his waiters to keep any tips handed over. I suppose he pockets it for himself? Where did the service charge we paid go? If this really is the case, it is certainly immoral, at best. I would not return for this reason alone. Treat your staff with decency and let them take tips for their work. It says a lot about the management. Food: 3

We family of 3 went to have dinner there. Restaurant was freezing as it was -2 degrees outside, so we asked staff can you please adjust the temperature as it’s too cold and my son (4years) was shivering. One staff said ya it’s done, and after few mins I realised still same I did ask another staff member can you please check if temperature is set correctly as it’s still freezing and he said this side of heating is not working. We asked him can we sit somewhere else as most of the restaurant was empty. But he refused and said all seats are reserved which was b t. We couldn’t enjoy our food and finished as quickly as we could in our thick coats and jackets and left. Staff even was not apologetic about it. And the last thing they add service charge on bill which is not even mandatory. So just to give everyone heads up please check the bill before paying and ask to remove it as we did ask them after paying and staff said cannot reimburse now. Will never step in there again. We went to have a nice time but would have rather sat at home and ordered it from somewhere else or went to some other place where they can control the temperature and don’t leave customers to freeze.

This was our first trip to the Raj on a cold Sunday evening while our son watched a film next door. In the 2 hours we were I 'm the restaurant we were the only 'eat in ' dinner. There were also only two takeaways collected in the same time frame. This was quite a surprise to us as the food was delicious, well cooked, and very fresh. The menu is extremely broad, including various vegan options as well as the usual as veg and non-veg dishes. The staff were friendly and very attentive... although maybe they were just pleased to have someone to serve! So in summary, we 'd recommend it!

Friendly people. Fab food. However, the toilets were not good. There was no toilet paper, and the ladies hadn't been cleaned. I'm disappointed on that front. Mentioned it to them and they said they'd sort the issue as I was leaving. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
