The Raj is an Indian restaurant at 461 Lisburn Road in Belfast, combining a modern neighbourhood dining room with takeaway and delivery service. Its menu covers a broad range of familiar dishes, making the restaurant approachable for both a casual curry and a larger group meal.
Starters include samosas, pakora, onion bhaji, prawn puri and sharing platters. The tandoor is used for chicken, lamb tikka, seekh kebabs, prawns and shashlik, bringing charred edges and spiced marinades to dishes that are served with rice and a mild vegetable curry.
Traditional curries range from mild korma and rogan josh to hotter madras, vindaloo and jalfrezi, while house specialities include butter chicken, chicken pasanda and a mixed curry of chicken, lamb and prawns. Biryani, breads and several rice choices make it easy to assemble a complete meal.
Vegetable sides include lentil dishes, saag aloo, aloo gobi and paneer combinations, and the current menu marks many dairy free and gluten free choices. Table service and a full bar support dining in, while online ordering provides a convenient alternative for collection or delivery.
