    Having booked a table for four at The Raj in Blackheath for 8:30 pm, we arrived on time, only to be left waiting outside in the cold as our table was still occupied. After some time, we were taken to a temporary table for drinks while we waited. When finally seated, our table was positioned in the main aisle, meaning we were constantly jostled by passing diners on their way to the restroom. At one point, a waitress even knocked over our drinks as she walked past. Service was polite but somewhat disorganized. Our waitress was friendly but struggled with English, making ordering a challenge. We opted for several shared dishes, which, while delicious, completely overwhelmed the small table. Unfortunately, three dishes never arrived, and staff, seemingly preoccupied with a large party, made little effort to rectify the issue. Once we finished our meal, we requested the bill, only for the waiter to suggest adding a tip—a suggestion met with amusement given the experience. Overall, the food at The Raj was excellent, but the chaotic service and cramped seating made for a less enjoyable evening. A visit on a quieter weekday might offer a far better experience.

    I have often dined in this local restaurant to me. Last night was not pleasant. It was Saturday night so very busy. We were seated at the small table between the bar, the place where they sort out dirty dishes and communicates and receive dishes from the kitchen, and where people come and wsit to collect their take away. It was noisy, erratic, glass bottles thrown in the bin, i had someone’s backside nearly in my plate while he was waiting for his takeaway Impossible to relax and have a conversation They should not be a table at this spot The food was nice but it was completely spoilt by the stressful atmosphere. Certainly never going back on a weekend
