Stumbled upon this restaurant almost by accident and I was delighted I did. I’ve eaten in dozens of Indian restaurants, and this might just be the best of the bunch. An interesting menu which goes beyond the standard fare, and everything we ate was top-rate. They even know how to mix a great cocktail. We’ll be back

Really good food, I had the Mung Salli Zandaloo and it was delicious. I also loved the Bhaji and the samosa, super tasty. The venue is really tastefully decorated and the staff are friendly and professional. Good selection of wine and spirits too. I will definitely come back and bring some friends along. More

  • Richard Hyams

Probably one of the nicest Indian meals I have had. The presentation of my Chicken Tika was superb. The chicken was succulent. The accompanying vegetable side dishes were varied and all excellent. The service was attentive and informative when it came to the menu. Absolutely worth a visit.

  • Charlotte Jarvis

Excellent food. Some of the best Indian I've had in North London. Big issues with service. One couple walked out without paying because they had been waiting so long while I was waiting for my take away. However, they gave me free beer for my wait so I left feeling rosy.

  • Larisa Markeeva

I found the design of this restaurant is very nice and stylish. It has the right vibe for the evening meal. The staff is very polite and nice. The food is super tasty and the price isn't high for this quality. I definitely would recommend you give it a shot.

A really pleasant experience. The hospitality was stylish and professional, our waiter good humoured and attentive and the decor was beautiful. Just sitting down at our table was a nice experience. We ordered Chana Masaledar and the Chicken

Absolutely fantastic!! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, food and drink was delicious. Bartender recommended a Hendricks Gin Cooler, and it was one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Garlic naan was also exceptional. While not the

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch at this restaurant recently. They are offering a very good value dining menu at the moment at both lunch time and in the evening on several days of the week. They also have an excellent full menu if you want

This place is a gem on Holloway Road - feel lucky to have found a great Indian locally. The new fit out is great - it’s so nice inside - would highly recommend people eat in rather than takeaway. The service was also without fault and the

Came here for my birthday meal. No flavour in the food and lots of sneaky charges on the menu. Servers watched whispered about my table for most of the evening creating and not friendly at all. Another customer even asked for something to

I had excellent chicken with apricots Gujarat style, full rich spicey flavour. I was with a big group on table 12 and 14 and everyone appreciated the food including the vegetarian dishes. Service was attentive and friendly. Fresh modern

  • Giles Bird

We had lost our previous reliable Indian restaurant. Not careless of us, a new owner stole its soul and sacked the chef. The Raj was therefore a new venture for us, after an unanticipated fasting period, so we went with high hopes and

  • IEMT Practitioner

I walked past her last night and saw the set menu outside. It was 2 courses for £9.95 or 3 for £12.95. I decided to go in and was really surprised at how modern and nice it was inside. A really big bar, looks like a cocktail lounge.

  • Jodie Riley

Found the Raj for the first time this evening and was really impressed! Started off with some cocktails, I never considered cocktails with curry but these cocktails were great - the watermelon martini and Hendricks cooler were our

Delicious! Generous portion, fair price, and have a wide range of vegan options available (below are Saag Bhaji - cooked spinach and Tadka Dal - cooked yellow lentils). The staff is very friendly too. Would definitely go back.

The food is sooooooo good, I am so pleased to find Raj of islington in this cold and rainy night, all the ingredients are exquisite! The staffs are all very friendly, I will give 6 stars if there is an option. From table 1.

  • Neil Littman

A cut above most Indian food. One of the best places in town. They also use good quality ingredients including the chicken. Samosas were obviously hand made. Unusual range of regional specialities and not overpriced. More

  • Alfie Mountford

I think good Indian food is hard to find in north London. I was very impressed by the Raj, very flavoursome curry and the service was great. It was extremely quiet, I can’t think why - more people should go here. More

  • Chris Gage

You walk in and get the impression it's going to be an expensive meal but actually the food is incredibly good value. Delicious sauces and lovely crispy naan. Very friendly & fun service too - strongly recommend More

Stylish interior, good service, and tasty dishes (especially liked the paneer shashlik). Re-designed over the lockdown period & all the better for it. My dinner companion enjoyed the passion fruit cocktail. More

Take it from a south asian, hands down the best south asian food in Islington. Every dish had its own unique taste, which is amazing. Fresh food, great service and great prices for fine dining experience. More

  • Steve Tupper

Very pleasant 3-person lunchtime meal. We basically had starters and then one main meal, some rice and lots of side dishes between us. All very tasty without being very chilli hot.

  • Harry Belle

Food took a long time to arrive and then arrived cold (even though there was hardly anyone there). We ordered the korma and sheekh kebabs and they had almost no spice or flavour.

I read that this place was highly rated so we cycled up last night. We were not disappointed, a nice little menu that feels a lot more sensible than most curry houses.

We walked in without a reservation looking at the rating on Google maps. That's a big mistake it turns out.
