The Raj Indian Bar And Restaurant

My son persuaded me to 'go local ' normally eat Indian food in Bodmin. My Dansak was poor supposed to have a sweetness, not apparent and spicy but bland. His Malay pineapple was totally bland with one tiny piece of pineapple even mild curry should have flavour. The pickle tray was very good and staff attentive why it gets a two. Portions are large but bulked out with 'gravy '. Sorry in future will use the car.

We enjoyed an excellent curry in the Raj restaurant. Lamb madras and vegetarian main with side orders were very tasty, good sized portions and good service. Would recommend.

We passed The Raj the previous evening whilst on our way to a restaurant nearby and the aroma encouraged us to visit for a takeaway the following day. We weren't disappointed. The starters and mains were all very good and highly recommended. Our visit was at opening time for the evening and we were served quickly.

Amazingly delicious food, fantastic service and all round good vibes. Cosy comfy seating areas too. Really lovely experience, will definitely be back.

We arrived on time and met at the door then shown to a table. The restaurant was not busy, perhaps only one other table occupied. On being shown to the table I spoke with the waiter of a very specific dietary requirement, which I repeated more than once and was again, very specific. I was assured that my request was able to be met, that the specific ingredient, nor any derivatives is not used anywhere in their meal preparation. Drinks were ordered of which my choice was not available. I had the house red and the others in my party various other drinks. These were delivered by a very bored looking and somewhat disheveled man. Popadoms and sauces were good and then main dishes ordered. These arrived and upon serving I could clearly see the very ingredient that I had so clearly specified to have a problem with. One other meal at our table also had this ingredient which I had been assured is not used in any of their meals. I drew attention to this and despite the initial bafflement my meal was taken away and informed that another will be prepared without said ingredient. This arrived shortly after. My hopes of enjoying Indian cuisine were shattered. The meal was bland, watery and boring. It was however edible and so I ate it. On receiving the bill both me and my wife felt that some adjustment ought to have been made, it wasn’t at that point and neither was an apology offered until pointed out. The bill was reduced to the figure that my wife stated, the restaurant was cash only due to a problem. We will be in Wadebridge again, perhaps later in the year. We will avoid this awful restaurant. Once bitten!
