“ We nearly didn’t go but we’re glad we did! We walked past the night before and nearly cancelled but inside it was great. It was busy which is always a good sign. I booked a table online and got confirmation well before time. Service was quick, there was plenty of staff on. There was a good range of food and the starters (prawn puri and chicken chat) were excellent. The mains were great, lovely fresh coriander used and the nans were really nice. All in all a great experience! ”

“ Always great! Food is always Try the Staff Curry. Thank me later Consistently good food and 5 service I'd forgotten about this place! Been so long since I've been in that little shopping complex where The Mogul Raj is located. Ordered a curry with them for collection last night, and was not disappointed. The food was lovely, and the customer service was top notch. A lot of other establishments could learn from these guys. Friendliness and good service with a smile goes a long way. Unfortunately these days, this is becoming a rare trait. Keep it up! I'll be back again for another curry soon, and will likely have a sit in meal at some point in the near future ”
