My landlord recommended that I go here, and as an annual visitor to India, I trusted his advice,…read morebut sadly, although good, it didn't live up to the rave reviews, and I think there are better options in the area. It's a "traditional" english curry house - all linen table cloths, flock wallpaper, faded pictures, and the feeling that it never has, nor ever will change. I like this aspect of the place - it's a refreshing change from the super-trendy new era Indian restaurants with their obligatory plasma screen, shiny surfaces and fusion cuisine. However, in these establishments, the service is usually impeccably polite and attentive - in this place is was not, and rather veered on disinterested. The food was also a let-down. I had an uninspired and almost bland tikka masala, and my friend an equally boring bhuna. Perhaps, the new-style Indian houses have ruined my taste buds for more traditional UK curry house-fare, or perhaps this one simply doesn't make the cut. Either way, I will always favour others over this one - especially as the prices are unnecessarily high.

One of the accolades for which this curry house feels pride in her glorious journey is "The Lifetime Achievement Award 2016" - a curry industry-benchmark based-special recognition bestowed by "The British Curry Awards" through an annual gala event & televised live by BBC in the UK. As a food critic what really astonished me ( and whet my appetite after taking taste of two signature main dishes named 'Rajeshwari' & 'Lamb Tarkatan') was uncompromising food quality standard retained by this cuisine for decades while consistently meeting the needs of "connoisseurs" of Indian curries. Affluent fine selection of wines available here will definitely make the "gastronomic" dining experience a memorable one for all.

The Chicken Tikka Balti here tastes really authentic and is served on the proper metal rounded plates. We came on a Saturday night so there was a bit of a wait for food. The atmosphere in this place is good, brown and subdued. Day of The Raj is not a big place but it is really good which is why it's lasted so long. The curry served here is not oily at all (something that is very important to me). You get the real sense that Day of the Raj relies on local business and it therefore good. My brother raved about this place and this is why I had to try it. There is a Sunday buffet on offer but the good news is they do not stop providing dishes from the regular menu. You can't go wrong at this place but be sure to reserve on weekends.

The ones in America have a thick crunchy exterior and lots of veggie filling served with a nice Tamarind sauce. They did not offer Tamarind sauce ( brown sauce ). Odd enough the tamarind sauce that I have tried here from the grocers ( Morrison's ) was a bit vinegary. Perhaps that's how it is made here. I also had tried the Chicken Tikka Masala. That was also different here in the England. It seems it is made with a sweet sauce. I've tried several Indian restaurants and the Tikka Masala sauce all seem to be based on a sweet sauce. In America it's not sweet. It has a tomato, green pepper, basil and cream flavor. The Garlic Naan was alight. I would had preferred it to be more warm and crispier. The service was good. So was the ambiance. Because the food here is differently prepared from what I am used to, I think a fair rating would be 3 out of 5 based on service, ambiance and portions. If the above recipes are standard to you then feel free to add another star.

If you'd prefer less heat, probably best to order mild. The roti doesn't travel so well so I'd recommend that for a dine in adventure only. The murgh tikka masala and saag aloo don't suffer at all in transit and I'd order both again.

The first impressions were good and the interior is well maintained and clean. The seating arrangement is also pleasant with two level seating whether you want to sit on level one or the ground floor. The service was also impeccable and we were shown to our table instantly. Everything was going on well Cons we ordered, the food arrived and we couldnt believe how small the portions were. We were all disappointed and although we didnt say anything we ate, paid and left still hungry and way out of pocket!!! The downside is that they are expensive and there portions are way too little. if you can afford it, thats not a problem but otherwise I think you can get better priced restaurants for a similar menu.
