"Reading through the reviews (maybe I should’ve read them first.? t would appear that takeaways don’t score so well at this restaurant. I’d never tried this place before but did so on recommendation from my daughter who lives in Hitchin although she’s not normally a fan of spicy/Indian food. We ordered chicken balti and chicken dhansak plus Bombay potatoes and I can honestly say it’s one of the worst meals I’ve (nearly eaten in a long while. The sauces were both swimming in oil, there’s absolutely no need for it and it made me feel quite ill despite having drained off a tablespoon before eating. The chicken didn’t seem right either, indeed nothing seemed fresh, it tasted like it was leftovers or warmed up from a couple of days earlier. I actually didn’t sleep too well that night as I couldn’t t get rid of the unpleasant taste and that ran into the next day. I just can’t understand why they would serve this up, surely you want to keep custom and spread the word I’m baffled and wouldn’t dream of returning."

Fantastic Service Excellent fresh ,hot and tasty food. My new favourite restaurant. I can reccommend The Raj Douth Special, The Donia Chicken and mushroom rice.

I had a mixed grill. The lamb was very fatty and the chicken was poor quality. I also had sag bhajee which had a strange texture and not a lot of flavour. Won’t be ordering again View menu

Pre booked a table for 8, made to feel very welcome. We all had mixed starters followed by our main meals, all were delicious with no complaints washed down with Cobra, Kingfisher and wine. Well done to all the staff, will come again soon

We love Raj Douth, it is charming and has a warmth which is an inviting, cozy atmosphere and the delicious array of dishes showcase authentic flavours. The staff are super friendly and add a personal touch, making the dining experience truly enjoyable. If we’re not dining in then we are ordering a takeaway from here.

We had a selection of dishes including their Raj Douth house special and they were all fantastic. Freshly prepared with lovely side dishes and beautiful fresh breads. My chum likes a Methi which wasn’t on their menu but quickly created especially. Top marks all round and a lovely chat with the owner capped off a great evening. Thanks very much. View menu

We went out with our friends and had a great night. The staff were very friendly and helpful with great service. The food was lovely and all the dishes tasted perfect, we were all well fed and happy with our meals. The best part was the bill very good price for the food and 2 rounds of drinks. We will definitely be going back, thank you all very much we had a lovely night.Mark PritchardChienmei Pritchard

So disappointed with the whole experience from the minute we arrived just after 10pm, welcomed by a Very rude and grumpy waiter who told us they stopped serving in half Hour and proceeded to makes Us feel pressured and uncomfortable Food was bland and almost cold. Toilettes were dirty as was the back of the restaurant. When my husband went to use the toilet the waiter told Me To hurry up and get out. I was shocked and furious. Hitchin has many great restaurants- choose one of them Above this filth And disappointing Establishment
