Raj of India

A genuine veteran of the Welwyn Garden City curry scene, Raj of India has been serving the eastern side of the garden city since it was established in 1990, building a reputation for warm, attentive service over more than three decades. Reviewers tend to single out the friendly, polite team and the sense of being well looked after, whether you are dining in with a big group or ordering a takeaway to the door. It is the sort of long-running local Indian that families return to out of habit as much as choice.

The cooking leans into the comforting end of the menu, with a silky, much-praised Chicken Korma held up as one of the dishes to order, alongside richer options like a Chicken Tikka Chilli Makhani for those wanting more punch. Delivery comes in for praise too, with locals noting food that arrives fast and piping hot. For a dependable, traditional curry without any fuss, it remains a steady fixture of the neighbourhood.
