If you're on the lookout for authentic Indian cuisine, The Raj in New Milton is a must-visit gem. Nestled at 1 Old Milton Grn, this restaurant has quickly become a favorite for both locals and visitors alike. Customers rave about the exceptional quality of food and the warm, welcoming service that sets the tone for a delightful dining experience.
Reviewers frequently highlight the stunning presentation of dishes, with each plate resembling a work of art. The Naans, in particular, have garnered significant acclaim—described as "unreal" and a perfect complement to the rich curries. Jack James, a satisfied diner, mentioned that the atmosphere feels intimate with cozy booths and charming decor, akin to dining in a "posh train."
The variety on offer at The Raj is impressive, catering to all dietary preferences, including an array of vegetarian and vegan options.

I visited here with my family whilst on holiday. What can I say. Stunning beautiful food, fresh, hot & generous portions. The staff were so friendly and accomadating. Lovely people. One of the best curry's I've ever had - the naans were unreal! 100% recommend! Thank you The Raj ...

Best Bangladeshi food in the South of England, maybe even country. It is always incredibly delicious, they will alter the dish based on your preference. The service is great and the food is constantly yummy. They have vegetarian options, meat options, prawns, vegan options, you can’t go wrong. Take out or eat in: you’re winning. Not to mention, you’re supporting a local family when you visit!

Just loved this place. Went there last year in November. Can’t believe I didn’t post before. It was so so spot on. Went back to our hotel Pebble Beach full up. Too full to be honest. But wonderful.

A nice quaint small restaurant located in Christchurch, New Milton. Staff were very friendly and polite. Reasonable prices, no more than I expected. Portions are very good and filling. Food is delicious. My wife and I ordered a Mix Curry made up of Lamb, Chicken and Prawns and a Mix Veg with two Chapattis, yum yum . All washed down with a Cobra beer and a Pineapple juice. I would have taken pictures of the food but I..err..ate it before I could .
