More than just a rating. It’s a promise kept. 🏆

If you have been searching for an authentic Indian street food restaurant in Basingstoke, you likely know that true flavor is only half the story. The other half happens behind the scenes, long before the first guest walks through our doors.

Those five stars currently displayed in our window were not achieved by accident. They are the direct result of early mornings and late-night efforts.

Our journey to excellence starts at 4:00 AM. While Wote Street is still quiet, our team is already at work. It is a daily cycle of relentless scrubbing, the deep cleaning of every stainless steel surface, and a commitment to hygiene that never takes a night off. Our team treats the kitchen at 29 Wote Street with the same level of respect and care they give to their own homes.

We are incredibly proud to announce that Raai has officially been awarded a 5-Star Food Hygiene Rating from the Food Standards Agency.

Why this matters for your dining experience?

When you are looking for traditional Indian street food in Basingstoke, you deserve more than just great taste; you deserve total peace of mind. We believe that "authentic" must mean more than just following old recipes—it must mean providing a safe, clean, and meticulously cared-for environment.

Whether you are bringing your family in for a weekend treat or meeting friends for a quick midday bite, we want you to feel confident in the meal you are served. We obsess over the details that often go unnoticed: the precise storage temperatures of our spices, the absolute freshness of our ingredients, and the clinical sparkle of our food preparation stations.

To us, those who walk through our doors are not just customers. You are our guests, our neighbors, and the heartbeat of our local community. You have supported Raai from day one, and achieving this 5-star rating is our way of saying thank you for trusting us with your dinner.
