LUX Life Restaurant & Bar Awards 2018

Page 80 www.lux-review.com LUX Restaurant & Bar Awards 2018 Founded in 2015, the Last Days of the Raj has achieved incredible success and become a popular dining venue for a wide range of clients looking for authentic, quality Indian food and exceptional service. Syed discusses how the establishment works to provide high quality dishes that suit every palate. “Here at the Last Days of the Raj, we serve a great range of traditional dishes as well as some of our signature dishes so that there is something for everyone. We always endeavour to provide the best possible food by using fresh ingredients where we can, less oils and fats as well as absolutely no colouring. We are also proud of having been awarded a 5-star hygiene rating. “As tastes change, so do we, and as such we also try to cater for all of our customers by specialising in gluten free, nut free, vegetarian and vegan food. We also have a high level of standard for our front of house staff who provide the customers with exemplary service. This all means that we have regular customers coming back week after week.” These dedicated and professional staff are central to the restaurant’s success, as Syed is eager to emphasise. “Since inception we have been lucky that we have a core team who have worked with us for the last 10 years at various establishments. As we like to promote from within, we rarely take experienced staff as we would rather train someone in our methods and then they will be progressed within the organisation. This ensures that everyone here is dedicated to providing our clients with the very best service and support possible.” The Last Days of the Raj is a traditional Indian restaurant based in Dinnington, just outside of Newcastle. We invited Syed to provide us with a fascinating overview of the establishment and the secrets behind its success.
