Our contribution to the British Curry is indisputable - for this we are referred to as an “Institution” by the Michelin Guide.

Progressive Bengal Cuisine.

PIONEERS OF THE INDUSTRY SINCE 1989

Le Raj Restaurant was founded by Enam Ali in Epsom Downs with an aspiringly ambitious ethos:

“To showcase the true height of mughal Cooking to British Diners.”

For over three decades, Le Raj Restaurant has been synonymous with Elegance and Luxury. Whilst we pay homage to the humble British Curry House, our Ethos was to elevate ‘Bengali’ cuisine and surpass our diners expectations by providing the finest progressive Mughal cooking to discerning guests. Over the years, Le Raj restaurant has been the showcase of the Curry restaurant industry, featuring countless times on BBC, ITV, Chanel 4, CNN, SKY and Al Jazeera news, pioneering groundbreaking ideas and cooking philosophy, which are widely adopted across the British gastronomic scene today.

From humble origins, Le Raj has played host to A-list celebrities, Politicians and Royalty and have raised over £1.5 million for various charities over the years.

Menu Philosophy

Our cuisine appreciatively bears the immeasurable expectations of our discerning guests. We serve an extensive menu which encompasses an array of tastes and preferences, as a result we never circulate our ever-changing menu in the public domain.

Every dish on the Le Raj menu begins with a simple idea executed to perfection using ancient Bengal techniques, amalgamated with technological innovation. We hand-select the finest produce and spices from sustainable sources to ensure our natural healthy cooking brings the very best ingredients to life from their purest form. From butchering our fresh locally sourced proteins each day, grinding our own spices and growing our own herbs, our team of Chefs ensure the changing of the seasons are balanced consistently to create our world famous cuisine. We even make our own cheese and yogurt to ensure every dish is unadulterated, from our mango chuntney to our ice-cream, everything in our kitchen is truly… Le Raj.

  • The wine world is constantly in evolution and we believe in diversity. Our guests will experiance a real wine discovery experience at Le Raj, explore new flavours and palate sensations with unusual and unexpected pairings. Le Raj have expertly compiled the wine list at the direction of expert wine consultants and sommeliers to the restaurant and hotel industry.

    We source some of the finest examples made by some of the World’s greatest producers, enhancing and complementing the high level of sophisticated cuisine at Le Raj. Featuring a great selection of wine references, which include Champagnes, white, rosé red, sweet and fortified wines, with an impressive selection available by the glass. Our mixologists have also created an excellent selection of Cocktails and Mocktails to entice the palette before the main event… the Curry!

  • Desserts often an after-thought in an Indian restaurant, in the Bengal we have a saying, ‘A meal is incomplete without dessert at the end.’ However, Indian restaurants dared not present traditional Bengali desserts to diners until Le Raj pioneered some of them, including making our own ice-cream, and infusing famous Indian and Bangladeshi sweets, with classical techniques. We believe desserts are about childhood memories and reuniting with the emotions we felt chasing after the ice-cream van or ice-cream-wala (depending on where & which era you’re from). It’s about our past, the carefree joy of youth, our traditions and where we are from. Because of this ethos, we make everything on our menu from scratch and amalgamate ingredients from your past, nuanced with techniques from the Bengal region.

  • South Asia has long been known as one of the best countries in the world for foodies, as well as a dream destination for vegetarians. It’s cuisine is also known for using dairy products – paneer dishes, lassis, milk-based ghee, cream etc.

    However, despite this, many of our dishes are 100% vegan and uncompromisingly delicious. whilst dairy is widely used in our kitchen, oils – such as mustard and coconut – are also ubiquitous and are an easy vegan replacement. Our chefs will be happy to fulfil your request, please do ask.

  • Our front of house team will endeavor to communicate allergens, preferences and dietary requirements to our chefs who place our patron’s health in the highest regard. Our cuisine is GMO free, all natural, organic and vegan where possible and the majority of our dishes are gluten free too. Our staff are happy to assist with any questions or concerns you may have
