British Raj Express

My family and me picked up a takeaway tonight on our way back home from Baldock at the British Raj in Royston. It was recommended on the Cambridge Curry Community and so wanted to give it a try when passing. I always try to give a fair and balanced review. I would definitely recommend the British Raj. The kids korma was outstanding, consistency and flavour amongst best I have tasted but personally I like heat! Unfortunately the Ceylon lacked a little in heat and for me needed more sour. The Patia was also a little oily, but otherwise very tasty with good heat. The oil though didn’t detract. The meat which was chicken in all dishes was superb and tender. The rice was the best I ever ate, the special rice was a real highlight for me. Incredible flavours and very light. The naan breads were tasty but a bit heavy, I would prefer them lighter and crispier. All in all I would return though and would certainly recommend this to others. The food was a solid 7.5 out of 10 for me. Some parts were a 9, but I have reviewed it as a whole. Really recommend though. For me it was consistent with the other restaurants I have tried in Royston. Bonus marks for the staff who were very friendly and I found out they can deliver to us which is great news! Prices were also very reasonable.

Take orders they “don’t receive” and then steal your money. 40 days waiting for a half hour call back. Avoid. Food wasn’t even that good. Waited ages for food after they said to arrive after 20 minutes. Waited another 20 minutes after that. Problems every time I’ve been there.

Fast and friendly service. Really nice food, well spiced.

Ordered a delivery from here for the first time over a weekend and it did not disappoint. Some of the local takeaways can be hit and miss on a weekend, due to how busy they can be, but the food from this place was really fresh and tasty. Even the salad was fresh and did not look sorry for itself, which we have received in that state in the past from other takeaways...I sometimes wonder why they bother! Anyway, all dishes tasted good and the rice was flavourful too. We will order from here again for sure!

Got a curry to take away from herelast night. Excellent service and outstanding food!! Thanks all!!

Exceptional as always. Safwaan, Siraj and team have done them selves proud. Popped in to catch up with some old friends and were treated to an amazing feast. Chicken tikka jalfrezi, chicken tikka and chicken tikka biryani a selection of naan breads and the best onion veggies we've ever tasted. We will be back again next time we are in the area my eldest says once he's past his driving test he will make a trip personally. Thanks again see you soon.

We have had a takeaway/delivery a few times. The service is excellent and the food is the best Indian takeaway we have had.

First and last time using this place. Man at counter was rude and surly. Keep waiting for 25 minutes as a walk in.Order the garlic lamb which, any where else is a dry dish and a garlic nan. Got this!Only good thing was the plastic fork.

I am vegan and I was overwhelmed with their amazing huge vegan selection! They also do other dishes vegan on request, plus side dishes and everything is so clearly labelled! The guy who answered the phone was really well informed and it arrived promptly AND WAS DELICIOUS!!! Never going back to another Indian restaurant!

Simply divine. I've tried most of the Indian restaurants around the area and this one tops them all. I've never had an issue with the food. Good portion sizes too.
