About Raj on Taj Unley by Vijay Singh (original)

Tucked along Unley Road, this family-run stalwart delivers time-tested North Indian curries and smoky tandoor breads without fuss. Regulars have returned for decades for the hospitable dining room—where Uncle Vijay and the team treat tables like visiting guests—and an open kitchen offering front-row views of chefs working the pans. Midday visits draw a brisk crowd for generous, wallet-friendly lunch sets, while evening diners linger over garlic naan, slow-simmered butter chicken, and chilli cheese naan pulled straight from the fire.

  • Open Prep Kitchen: Unassuming dining room gives guests a direct view of cooks preparing curries and tandoori bread to order.
  • Midday Lunch Specials: Affordable, fast-moving midday lunch specials serve up generous portions for local workers and regulars.
  • Decades of Family Hospitality: Longtime patrons highlight welcoming hospitality from Uncle Vijay and family, pairing rich curries with blistered naan.
