The Raj

Read the reviews so decided to visit. The meal was ok ,and the service was ok as well( even though we were only two of six people in the restaurant we had to wait a long time just to get a beer) Had the chicken Korma because we did not want anything spicy but it was too spicy for some on our table which was a shame. Portions are quite small so you may need to order an extra plate. Naan bread was good but the popadoms which we had to start had a strange sauce ( I am used to a yogurt mint Style sauce and crushed tomatoes and onions) but we were given what looked like a sweet marmalade style sauce and a green sauce with no taste at all. We booked with degusta so had meal discount but as seems to be usual nowadays they forget to put the whole meal on the discount which always annoys me especially when I have to call the waiter back to address the bill. As I said, the meal was ok but think I will try other Indian restaurants in the city next time

By far the best indian food I have had in Panama to date. I had an incredible chicken tikka kebab (really huge amount of chicken) a fantastic (kadeer?) paneer and the best naan (cheese with garlic) I think I have ever had. Food was extremely freshly prepared and too hot to eat initially. Spices were really really good.....definitely not watered down in any way for softer palettes. However, the new owner needs to be careful of service. For some reason this restaurant - as it did before - seems to be a meeting point for the local Indian community coming to talk business or just hang out. This for me makes the restaurant appear less serious about what it is there to do. I was the only customer in the restaurant and the owner/manager was talking business to some locals close to me whilst the only waiter sat watching the football. He did check on me, but I think only because I was sat so close to the bar so he had to keep walking past me, otherwise I'm sure I would have been forgotten about if I had been further away. Bearing in mind that the decor and even furnishings are exactly the same as with the previous restaurant....I feel they need to look after the local (non-Indian) business better and improve the service or it will not win more business. Panamanians do like Indian food from what I have seen, but the decor and service needs to be improved to win them over. Having said all this, if you know and love Indian food then you will realise that this place is a step above all the others, and that is the main reason I would go back....and for just the food alone it is totally worth it!

The Raj es un restaurante excelente para comida de la India y para ir en grupo. El servicio fue excelente y hasta el perro quedó bien atendido. Las porciones de comida están hechas para compartir y la comida es deliciosa. Tienen un menú extenso, así que definitivamente volveré a explorarlo más.
