Raja’s Curry House sits comfortably on Charters Towers Rd, offering an authentic Indian dining experience that locals have been returning to for over a decade. This is a full-service restaurant where family ties run deep—evident in the warm greetings and familiar faces, including the owner’s grandson who’s now part of the team, carrying forward the culinary tradition.

The atmosphere here leans toward relaxed and unpretentious, reflecting a genuine, home-style Indian kitchen rather than an upscale or touristy vibe. It’s the kind of place where regulars gather for both dine-in meals and reliable takeaways, often with friendly staff making recommendations or sharing dishes to try next time.

The focus is firmly on richly spiced, meat-forward curries paired with a variety of Indian breads—from everyday plain and garlic naans to the more textured coconut and cheese naans. Completing the meal is an array of chutneys and pickles that add layers of pungency, sweetness, and heat—perfect for those who like to customize each bite.

Visitors best enjoy Raja’s Curry House in the evening or on weekend nights when the place is lively yet comfortable enough for families and groups. If you appreciate generous portions, straightforward service, and a community feel, this spot suits anyone hunting for Indian flavors that nod to traditional roots without fuss. It’s especially popular with those who have had Townsville’s Indian food scene for a while and are looking for consistency and authenticity.

Whether stopping by for a hearty dinner or grabbing takeaway for a casual night in, Raja’s delivers familiar tastes with a sense of history and care that’s rare to find outside close-knit, long-standing local restaurants.

Every time I visit Townsville, I have to visit Raja's Curry House. I love that her grandson is now working there and keeping the tradition going.
