Raj Mahal Indian Restaurant

I was greatly surprised by the food served at this restaurant. It was our first time visiting. The service was spot on. The food was well prepared and well presented. The price we paid was very reasonable. I have been to a few Indian restaurants, Balti, Whitecroft and Raj to name a few, but I must say, I really enjoyed it here and prefer this one and I will definitely be returning.

Hands down the best Indian in Darwen. We used to use a different restaurant until we had some disgusting customer service however it was a blessing in disguise as the Raj Mahal is now our go to Indian. We've been visiting regularly for a year now and the food and service always excel. If you like lamb you have to try this place as it is always the most tender you'll ever eat. It's also lovely to always receive a nice warm welcome from the owner. Highly recommended and it's great value too. Thanks to all the staff there for great food and service.

We travelled from Norwich for the football and stayed close by. Phoned the Raj mahal and they soon found us a table within 30 minutes. One of the best curries we have had Great value for money and brilliant staff, even ordering us a cab back to hotel. Highly recommended this Indian and will be returning when back this way. We'll done gentleman 👍

Great food, excellent range with many dishes I've never seen before such as Zeera, a garlic and ginger flavoured dish. Regarding vegetarian although it wasn't mentioned on the menu they said I could have any dish with paneer or vegetables. The onion bargee's were some of the best I've had 😋 and I loved the takka dhall and garlic and cheese naan 😋😋 reasonable prices as well.

UPDATE. This is definitely the best Indian in Darwen. Although not on the menu, they do do a cauliflower side and tonight I even took my own aubergine. The food is always delicious and plentiful and the service is top notch. Toilets not quite finished but getting there. I wish they would bring the bill with the Bailey's. PREVIOUS We went there last night, Wednesday, at 5.30 for a change from our usual Sunday venue. We were warmly welcomed and served drinks (two pints of Cobra). The heating was on. We ordered three poppadoms (which came with a far too big a pickle tray), 2 mains from their chefs recommended specials with a vegetable rice, a garlic and cheese naan and a portion of onion bahjis. It was absolutely delicious, faultless and plentiful. Giving The Akash a run for its money? Most certainly at £42.00 with complimentary Bailey's. The decor is lovely. Miminalistic muted greys with the colourful paintings as a beautiful contrast. Not too bright. The service was discreet and professional. Not overly friendly. Downside? The toilets reaĺly do need attention to finish the refurbishment. Thank you. We will return very soon. Looking forward to their Sunday buffet which they said, is coming soon.
