Not sure why every single time we order from Rajas, there’s always a problem. Hair on the fries, they got our order wrong, and now we even found this wire in their fried chicken. Food is not bad and it is affordable especially for students like us but theres no hygiene at all that one of my friends had gotten a stomachache and puked right after eating the chicken. Not to mention sometimes the staff are rude too.

Order a food by mistake on UBER EAT to Great Western Road. Food arrived late and the food was so disgusting. Full Peri Peri chicken was very dry and burned. It is a TEMU version of original Raja Pizza Bar Pollockshield. I wouldn’t recommend Raja Pizza Bar Great Western Road food branch.
Read on Google MapsIn my personal experience, Raja’s Pizza on Great Western Road is one of the least hygienic and most poorly managed food outlets I’ve encountered in Glasgow. I’ve visited multiple times hoping for improvement, but each visit has only confirmed a consistent lack of cleanliness and quality. The grilled chicken has an unbearable odour, the rice has tasted off more than once, and the New York burger I tried was, quite honestly, the worst I’ve ever had in the UK. It’s incredibly disappointing to see a food establishment operate with such disregard for standards and customer satisfaction. In my view, this place urgently needs a complete management overhaul. Until that happens, I cannot in good conscience recommend it to anyone. I strongly urge others to consider their health and expectations before dining here.
Read on Google MapsDisappointing experience at Raja's Pizza Bar. Ordered around 10:55 PM, and the estimated delivery time kept changing - first 55 minutes, then 57 minutes. Called the restaurant, and they said they were waiting for a driver. Waited for over an hour after that, and when I called again, they said they had closed new orders but would deliver mine. Confirmed twice if they could deliver, and they assured me yes. However, the food never arrived. Unacceptable wait time and poor communication. Would not recommend ordering late at night from here.
Read on Google MapsI was given a rotten chicken that is expired and tasted and smell rotten. I had severe stomach issues. I reported this to the police in the hospital. I also reported to the Scottish safety food organisation a. Basically what happened is that I ordered and then I also came as the wrong order and they refused to give me a refund so I’m never gonna buy from this horrible restaurant that gives you garbage food. I am utterly disgusted like extremely. You are lucky and should be grateful that I’ve given you only one star
