Tandoori Raj, Red Lion Street, Holborn
Poppadoms: 6/10
- Arrived without prompting, but only one and it was on the bill
- Slightly tired looking onion thing (and with cucumber, so I left it alone)
- Mango chutney tasted OK - not too sugary and nice and sour - but a bit runny so hard too eat on brittle poppadoms
- Lime and aubergine pickle - dry, salty, nice and spicy but a bit hard to eat due to saltiness and general lack of appeal of aubergine
Starter: "Raj Mix" 3/10
- Tiny onion bhaji
- Tiny little bit of lamb tikka
- Tiny little bit of chicken tikka
- Small, clearly from-a-packet, vegetable samosa
Main course: 7/10
- Balti lamb tikka bhuna - at 11.95 tied for the most expensive item on the menu. Taste good, meat very tender. Not a lot of balti (couple of little bits of onion and green pepper, small sprinkling of coriander)
- Came with really excellent naan - light, soft, brushed with butter
Sundry: 7/10
- Tarka dall - nice and sloppy (and a bit buttery, as advertised on the menu) with a bit of hotness, but a bit starchy, garlic raw rather than fried and no onion or mustard seeds
Liquid:
- Big bottle of kingfisher - hard to go wrong
- Noticed bottles of wine behind the bar with custom labels - classy or what?
Value for money: 3/10
- The above was passable enough but not worth 27 GBP exc service. Better food and more generous portions are available not far away at Euston.
