Popular Items at Taste of Raj
Taste of Raj is a well-established fixture in the UK’s Indian dining scene, particularly recognized for its balance of traditional curry house staples and modern “Power Bowls.” The menu is designed to cater to both the classic takeaway experience and a more health-conscious “Conscious Canteen” crowd, offering everything from velvety mild kormas to fiery madras curries.
- The Chicken Tikka Masala is the most widely chosen item, frequently cited as a national favorite for its smoky, tandoor-roasted protein and rich, velvety tomato masala sauce.
- For fans of indulgent textures, the Butter Chicken is a staple, featuring succulent morsels in a luxurious, silky tomato glaze with a hint of butter.
- The Indian Power Bowls (like the Jhalfrezi or Bhuna variants) have become signature modern choices, distilling the traditional feast into a single vessel with pilau rice, fresh salad, and a golden onion bhaji.
- Traditional items like Onion Bhajis and Samosas remain popular starters, valued for their consistent crunch and authentic seasoning.
Budget-Friendly Choices at Taste of Raj
While the menu features premium house specials, there are several practical ways to enjoy a full meal at an accessible price point. Utilizing the “Conscious Canteen” section or the set meal options often provides a more cost-effective way to sample multiple flavors than ordering a la carte.
| Option Type | What to Expect | Smart Choice Example |
| Value meals | Complete meals at a fixed price | Set Meal for One |
| Light meals | Smaller, balanced portions | Chicken Tikka Rice Bowl |
| Saver deals | Handheld or simple builds | Chicken Wrap (Chapati) |
| Everyday picks | Practical and affordable | Special Fried Rice |
- Choosing a Chicken Tikka Rice Bowl instead of a full curry and separate rice helps control total cost while maintaining a macro-friendly balance.
- Simple meal deals, like the Wednesday/Thursday Banquet Night (where available), are the most practical for diners looking for a starter, main, side, and rice for a fixed price.
- Opting for Wraps (Chicken, Lamb, or Paneer) provides a portable and cheaper alternative to a traditional sit-down main course.
What to Order at Taste of Raj Based on Your Needs
The menu is categorized to help diners navigate by heat level and protein preference, ranging from the very mild to the extra spicy.
- For solo meals: A Power Bowl (like the Handi or Madras) provides a balanced portion of curry, rice, and salad in one container.
- For chicken lovers: Options like Chicken Chana Crunch Bowl are commonly chosen for a high-protein experience that includes fiber-rich chickpeas.
- For beef and lamb lovers: Hearty options such as the Lamb Rogan Josh or Lamb Tikka Masala are preferred for their deep, savory flavors.
- For budget-conscious users: Selecting items like Chicken Wraps or Dall Soup helps manage spending without sacrificing spice.
- For quick takeaway: Handheld Wraps or the Conscious Canteen bowls are easier to carry and eat if you are on a short break.
- If you prefer a spicier or stronger flavor, the Jhalfrezi or Madras Power Bowls may be more suitable for your taste.
- If you are looking for a lighter option, the Grilled Chicken Salad or the Tandoori (Grilled) Mains are often easier to manage.
What to Know Before Ordering from Taste of Raj
Understanding the difference between their traditional menu and their modern “Bowl” concept will help you get exactly what you want.
- Portion sizes vary significantly between the Traditional Curries (which usually require separate rice/naan) and the Power Bowls (which are all-inclusive).
- Combo deals like the Set Meals often provide better value than ordering papadums, starters, and mains as separate units.
- Add-ons such as Masala Papadums or extra chutneys can increase the total cost quickly but are a traditional part of the experience.
- Some items like the Special Mixed Biryani may be more filling than expected, as they are often topped with an omelette and served with a side of vegetable curry.
- Availability of specific daily deals, such as Banquet Nights, is usually limited to mid-week (Wednesday and Thursday).
Is Taste of Raj Halal, Vegan, or Vegetarian Friendly?
Taste of Raj offers a highly transparent menu with clear indicators for those with specific dietary requirements or health goals.
| Category | Availability |
| Halal | Many locations confirm that chicken, lamb, and prawn items are Halal-certified. |
| Vegetarian | Numerous options including Paneer Tikka Masala and Vegetable Ceylon. |
| Vegan | Dedicated vegetable curries and lentil-based dishes (like Dall Soup) are standard. |
