The Raj Indian Restaurant ..28 High St, Barton Upon Humber

We hadn't initially decided to go out this Monday but Sara nagged and nagged, so out we went. We decided to visit an old favourite of ours, for several reasons apart from always enjoying the food ,the staff are so nice and welcoming. When both myself and Sara go for an Indian together we don't order the spiciest of food as Sara doesn't like it to hot and we always share our main courses. I do like a jalfrezi but its hot hot for Sara and if you ask them they will do chicken tikka and king prawn jalfrezi ( ummm ). So this time we opted to bypass the papadums to go straight to the mains. I ordered Akhori lamb special (£9.45) and Sara ordered chicken Badami (£7.75), both medium spiced meals with special fried rice (£2.75) , mushroom bhaji (£2.75)and keema naan.(£2), unfortunately on leaving the restaurant we forgot to pick up a take away menu and we going on memory, so the prices we are quoting are in the region of being right. The Lamb special we ordered was so nice we commented to a member of staff how much we were enjoying it. He said it was one of his favourites and that the chef slow cooked it previous day in spices, then he marinated overnight and slow cooked it again. We must say the meat (sliced Lamb, not chunks) was so tender it just fell apart and never had one ounce of chewiness about it. With that in mind every course we ordered was lovely and flavour packed. We did order a little bit to much, but we could have taken it home with us if we wished to. If there was one complaint we could have made on the night it was the Liverpool tie (one of the staff was wearing)....Hahaha....Bad taste....T&S
