Raja's Curry Kitchen & Grill - Butter Chicken, Vegetable Samosa and Butter Naan - Indian Near Me - Lake Charles, Louisiana

Definitely some of the most underwhelming Indian food I've had, and I cook and eat a lot of it. Veg samosas completely stand out here though and keep us coming back on the rare occasion. read more

We absolutely LOVE this place! The butter chicken is hands down the BEST. And pair it with some cheese or garlic naan and it's a slam dunk of flavor. read more

The butter chicken and chicken curry are delicious! I also love the naan! Rajesh the owner is so personable and inviting. Definitely recommend read more

This is place is very expensive. They are highway robbers. This is not the way you make money. I ordered two beef samosas. The are very tiny samosas. I never saw those small samosas in my entire life. Price is $7.79 Plus other charges they charge. Going there is your choice. Please be careful when ordering. Let them show you the quantity and size. For me no more going there. I stick with local foods and Chinese foods. read more

While working at Barbe High School. I decided to try this place while I was on a lunch break. I ordered the Gyro Mix $11.99 1/2 and 1/2 mixture of lamb and chicken gyro. Served with rice and special sauce. This dish was absolutely delicious. The lamb and chicken or buttery tender. And the flavor was unbelievably delicious. The sauce was really good I guess I should have asked what it was. But it was really really good. My server was okay just not very personable. read more

Just damn the flavor was definitely there along with the tender chicken. It touched all taste buds. 9.8/10 read more

Excellent every time love it! The service is amazing and the flavors of the food are unmatched.

My friends and I are south Asian, so we are very critical of South Asian food. Initially, we were concerned when there wasn't anyone dining in. That quickly changed. Almost 20 minutes, three or four parties filled the restaurant and we knew we were at a local favorite. The food was amazing! We ordered a dish of biriyani, the eggplant curry, butter chicken, chicken tandoori, the appetizer sampler, and some naans for the table. I totally recommend, we were STUFFED after our meal :) read more

The food here is great! Husband ordered the lamb kabobs and they were unlike any we have had before. The flavor was very delicious and there was a seasoning we hadn't tasted before. I had the lunch buffet and it was loaded with different types of flavored chicken. My favorite was the butter chicken. I could have drank that sauce. The restaurant and buffet area was small and very clean, it smelt fresh and clean when we arrived. The seating was really nice and comfortable. The waiter was really informative and very nice. When he wasn't assisting customers he was wiping things down. A+ The worst part of the restaurant was the restroom. It's in the back with the store closet. It was real creepy and moldy and felt unsafe. read more

Great to see Indian option in lake Charles. We had the buffet during lunch. No chicken tikka masala but they do have butter chicken. Hard to tell the difference really. They had panner masala but the spice was not as good as the butter chicken. Buffet also had a couple non Indian items like hummus and baba ganoush. Buffet comes with naan bread which was super fluffy, more like pita. I loved the curry chickpeas! Price was high $15 for limited options on the buffet but food was delicious. I would definitely go back. read more

While road tripping through Louisiana from Houston, TX, we decided to stop and grab a bite at Raja's before continuing onto NOLA. My family and I agreed that the food was pretty good- no too spicy and somewhat flavorful. Our favorites dishes were the Green Chicken Masala and Butter Chicken, paired with the delicious naan bread. Before leaving, we grabbed a cup of Chai to-go, which was a great way to end our meal. As this restaurant was the only real Indian cuisine on the map while in Lake Charles, I would say you should check it out if you're in the area. read more

I'm in Lake Charles on deployment with FEMA. I'm here for three months, which gives me ample time to try all the different restaurants in this and surrounding areas. I haven't had a bad experience yet, but Raja's was so good, I had to leave a review. The food is amazing! It's probably the best Indian cuisine I've had since I responded to Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and ate at an Indian restaurant in Suffolk County, Long Island. Honestly, if I wasn't watching my weight and had more per diem, I'd eat from Raja's every day. The staff are exceptionally friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Thanks, Raja's! This was wonderful comfort food to have while being so far from home. read more

Staying the night in a hotel here in Lake Charles. Too tired to go out. GrubHubbed this place and was so please I did! Great flavors... nice spice... exactly what I hoped for ... and even the delivery was faster than anticipated! read more

Iv never had Indian food, so I'm not sure how much weight my opinion holds but whatever. Tried thus place because It was open on a Sunday and had vegetarian options. I got the Samosa Chaat with garlic Naan and the Aloo Gobi. It was pretty good! Not too spicy, flavors Iv never had before and very filling. Not really sure what I was eating but will probably come back. read more

How on earth this place has 4 stars is beyond me. It's more of a Greek place that serves some Indian food. My stomach is rumbling as I write this. I'll spare my emotional thoughts on the meal and jump straight to it: not clean, not authentic -- serving pita bread and calling it naan -- and just straight up not inedible if I'm being honest. My husband nearly flung a cube of the butter chicken at me while trying to cut it. We gave our dog a bite of the "naan" and she spat it out. The bathroom... I've been to less scary gas station bathrooms. Yeeesh. The one redeeming quality was the server, who was pleasant. This is just a no. read more

Had the Gyro Mix and hummus delivered to my hotel and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were spot on and the serving was huge. I would definitely recommend stopping in and giving them a try! read more

Butter chicken was spiced just right and the chicken was nice and tender. Naan was fresh and had excellent flavor. Friend has the lamb gyro and said it was really good also. Defiantly will be back for some more scrumptious food. read more

Great food if you're looking for a different kind of cuisine! It certainly isn't Cajun or Louisiana Southern but it's definitely good! The lamb dish is excellent! The eggplant and the okra dishes are great but very spicy which I like! They do have a buffet, I'm not sure about the hours but I have eaten the buffet and enjoyed the meal! I definitely go back to Rajas now and again! They also have a nice menu to choose from and the food is prepared fresh to order!! Very good!! read more

I used to get gyro here but the other day, Worst chicken gyro ever.. looked like they were out of the rice and they put some cheap rice on it read more

I love this place. I'm so glad they are on Grubhub. The food is alway fresh and the order has always been correct. So far I've ordered the buttered chicken and the mixed gyro. They both have been very good. In have ordered them multiple times.I definitely be back here. read more

2 stars for food 4 stars for service Honestly, my husband and I both said that if they wouldn't have been so friendly we would have gotten up and left based on food alone. As other yelpers have mentioned there was a layer of oil on top of both dishes. It made us feel like the sauce came out of a package. I really wanted paneer but it was discontinued on the menu. The waitress said she thought they might actually have some in the back so I ended up ordering paneer masala. My dish tasted sour and the paneer was the wrong consistency. I was able to eat most of my food. It wasn't rotten sour but almost like a lightly sour seasoning i guess. My husband got butter chicken. It was much better than mine, but still not to our liking. We love Indian food and have eaten it in many different states in the U.S. as well as internationally. We weren't familiar with any of the tastes that were displayed nor have we ever seen the type of rice they serve with the dishes. We are used to jeera rice or white rice but we have no clue what we were served. We will not go back. I made a mistake and took the photo from to far away but if u really zoom in you can see the oil on top of both dishes. This place was really busy with take out orders when we went. I noticed they had Mediterranean food on the menu as well so maybe the people of LC are loving the Mediterranean and skipping the Indian? read more

Raja's Curry Kitchen & Grill - Butter chicken and paneer masala - Indian Near Me - Lake Charles, Louisiana

Delicious food and always friendly staff. Hummus with garlic naan and chicken gyro over rice are both great.

Fantastic food! On par with the best Indian places I have visited in San Francisco Bay Area.

Worst "Indian" food I've EVER had. The chana masala (chole) we ordered came out looking a pale yellow and there was visible thick layer of OIL on the top. Color and oil were a turnoff but the taste was worse. The gravy had a sickly taste and smelled & tasted like meat (possibly because of using the same cooking pot for meat and non meat curries). We had driven out of our way to get here and it was the most disappointing (so called) "Indian" food I've had. They should just call it middle eastern and Pakistani cuisine so people who come looking for indian food don't go home confused, hungry and disappointed. I think the reviews are left by those unfamiliar with Indian cuisine, additionally its more of a mediterranean and pakistani cuisine place, many items on the menu are crossed off & unavailable. I wouldn't recommend the Chana masala or wheat naan/roti. We didn't want to order anything else because we were turned off by the taste and lost our appetite and couldn't get out fast enough. Anybody following a YouTube recipe for Chana masala would be able to make it better than what we were served. read more

First time visit. Unfortunately, waitstaff was limited to one lady managing the entire dining room, including take out customers. Vegetable samosas ( two to an order) was very good. Chicken Tikka Boti was served sizzlng at the table. Disappointed that the underlying onions were burnt to a blackened charred unpleasant crisp. The chicken boti was very well spiced and cooked perfectly with a nice clean spicy edge. Accompanying rice was savory, but average. I will certainly be back. A nice find- and popular as well jedging by the number of take-out customers. read more

Very clean and very fresh food considering I'm at the lunch time buffet. Best time to go if you're like me and new to India cuisine, is at lunch so you can get a little taste of everything. Loved the chicken curry, cauliflower curry and beef nahiri. They give you naan for dipping and hummus was awesome. read more

I would definitely recommend you go to this place! read more

I've had Indian food in a lot of places across the country, and Raja's is among the best I've had. The food has the perfect amount of spice, and the Tabouli is a great side dish to cool the palate. And the naan was everything! I tried the garlic and the butter naan, and they are both really good. Other Indian restaurants I've been to don't serve garlic or butter naan. To top it off, the service was great! read more

Limited items on the menu but reasonably priced and value for money. I ordered the butter chicken and chicken biryani and it tasted really good. I would definitely recommend this place if you are passing through Louisiana. read more

I'm so disappointed, I'm use to the butter chicken tasting amazing and I didnt taste good at all today? Like no flavor what so ever and salt didnt even help? I like lots of flavor at indian places, today just wasn't a good day for the buffet I guess I had to eat sides since the chicken curry didnt taste good read more

We found this place on our way back from Lake Charles to Houston and were craving Indian food. Yelped and found this place.. when we reached we were skeptical as we were the only car in the parking! But once we came inside it was a pleasant surprise. Ambience is not bad but the food was just amazing! We opted for the buffet and every single item was beyond good! Glad we found this place. Highly recommended!! read more

I had the tandoori chicken platter, which is basically 4 different kinds of chicken dishes served over grilled onions and rice. I didn't eat the rice, but each of the kinds of chicken was really good. I came for dinner, but see they have a lunch buffet, albeit a small one, I would be interested in coming for lunch just to be able to try a few other dishes. The service was great and prompt. read more
