Excellent. We hadn't booked, it was a Tuesday night in March and the place was packed, but they managed to get us a table. Food was absolutely amazing. Service was first class
Very good restaurant down some stairs just off church street. Nice break from busyness of town. Friendly welcoming staff. Food was delicious we ate all poppadoms. Delicious curry, perfect rice and crisp nan bread. Good food on great location
Wow. Some of the best curries we've had anywhere. Really friendly and prompt service from the guys running the restaurant, and on our trip to Inverness we went back for a second time. The Garlic Chilli dish was just the best we've had anywhere. All food was fresh and tasty. The staff were simply incredible and catered to our needs.
I've been visiting the Rajah since I was a child in the early 90s - A curry was a Sunday night staple for my family during my childhood. We moved to Australia in 2006 and visiting the Rajah is a must every time we return to Inverness. In the ever changing world we live in, it is such a comfort to know that the Rajah has remained as wonderful as its ever been. Today's visit was no exception, we were treated to an excellent meal, just as incredible as I remember it being, with quick attentive service, for a very reasonable price. I've done a lot of travelling, but the Rajah's comfort and consistency, is why it remains my favourite restaurant.
Perfect meal and charming service. Definitely recommended. Best Indian restaurant in Inverness. Any bad review is totally inaccurate.
The best Indian in town! We always come to the rajah when we fancy an Indian and it never disappoints, it’s delicious every single time! We love the coconut naan especially. The staff are so polite and friendly with quick service, we are always given a little chocolate and hot wipes before we leave which is lovely. We wish there was an option to add a tip on the card machine as we didn’t have money on us and would have liked to have given one. Will see you again soon!
I’ve got nothing bad to say about this restaurant. As someone who enjoys Indian food, this was one of the nicest I’ve had in my lifetime - tasty and freshly cooked. The restaurant itself, despite being in a basement, was well-lit with mirrors and didn’t feel at all claustrophobic - you actually forget you’re underground. The next time I’m in town, I’ll definitely be going here!!
I was seeking Indian food my entire week in Scotland and finally found a place that hit the spot. The restaurant is nice, and clean (a bit tight on seating, but not too bad). The food seemed fresh and well prepared - definitely full of flavor! The whole meal wasn’t too experience and the staff is very friendly, conversational, and there to help.
