If you don't live local to Chipping Norton, avoid like the plague. My partner and I booked to stay in Chipping Norton for 2 nights mini break. This is the first break we have had in 4 years due, to myself caring for my disabled Son and Dad. I booked a table in advance and was so looking forward to a relaxing meal and a few drinks. All was going well until we walked through the door. The owner was very abrupt the second we walked in. After being seated we waited and waited and waited a bit more. None of the staff acknowledged us. After two more parties come in (clearly regulars and greeted like royalty) they we're served before us. Still we sat, no drink and clutching menus. (I was actually fanning myself with mine, as I'd already looked at it for 20 minutes and it was very hot in there) eventually I managed to catch one of the staff and asked if we could have some drinks. Again, I felt like we we're an inconvenience. When the drinks did turn up, I asked if we could order some poppadoms. I was grunted at. They arrived, we ate them (they we're tasty but by then I'd of eaten anything) and then back to the waiting while the other customers we're spoken to, joked with, asked if they needed anything extra and tucked into their food while we still hadn't had our orders taken. By now I was get hangry and was turning out to be an absolute joke. It wasn't like my partner and i we're having a lovely relaxing time over a drink, our glasses sat empty for 40 minutes, so I placed them on the edge of the table, hoping that some miracle we would get refills. I had to ask twice for another drink. My partner got his, they didn't give me mine. A member of staff took out order (thank the lord) but an hour and a half later it finally was plonked on the table. By then I was past it. I'm diabetic (I did tell a staff member this) so 2 diet cokes and a poppadom, I was starting to feel unwell. We both had enough, we ate half of the food and asked for the bill. Funnily enough that's the only thing that came to the table in lighting speed. To top of the insult to injury, I had a mint chocolate thrusted at me, even though I had told the same staff member, I have diabetes. £62 bill of disappointment. If I'm even in the area again, I'll be trying the other Indian restaurant, but I won't be gracing Cafe Le Raj with my presence again. I'm sure they will be pleased.

We had a take away from here when staying locally. The food was excellent and reasonably priced

Don’t order Chicken tikka , its the worst tikka i have ever eaten..Madras chicken is just a normal chilli curry, nothing special. Naan is overly thick.. not fresh ..
Jeanette Davies

Dan Northcote-Smith

We were staying at a nearby campsite and drove into town to look for a pub, but saw this restaurant. We decided to try it and this was a good decision. The menu was interesting and reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly and polite. We had a delicious meal. A good first night of our holiday.

Had 2 previous deliveries - very nice. Ordered tonight waited nearly 2 hours for delivery. Food lukewarm, incorrect order delivered and overcharged. The lid on the biryani was not on properly and spilled in the bag. Called asking to speak to the manager. He doesn't work Monday.

Outstanding food and customer service!We’ve traveled the world and had many Indian meals. Nothing comes close to this!If you love an authentic cuisine you must taste the wonders of this restaurant!

Woo, what a find, we visited "Chippy" this week, and fancied some Indian food, it's was terrific, not just my view, but locals .. Any restaurant in a smaller town with twenty covers by 7pm on a Tuesday night has to be doing something right! I had the tandoori chicken, and some channel masala both perfect, my wife had the lamb biryani again really good.Going back to sample the special Chippy menu soon!!
Stopped in there late last night & had Lamb Mango & Prawn Rogon Josh. Absolutely first class flavours. Loved it. Yum!Even the poppadom relishes tray was great :)

The food was good but the service was an absolute shambles. We had a booking in the restaurant but had to wait for an hour and half for our main course while about 30 takeaways were provided. Need to prioritise in house customers over takeaways. Not going back.

I went for a takeaway and I made a mistake on my order but they went out of their way to get me what I wanted in super quick time. Really impressed. The food was delicious as always.Thank you Cafe Le Raj!

We had the best experience here, lovely food, great atmosphere, wonderful team. Thanks for this, we will be back.

Food was nice but the tikka massala had 4 chicken pieces in it, the lamb had just as much and the saag aloo was all potatoes, hardly any spinach. Probably a better experience if you eat in. Had better.
