Rajah Spice Tandoori

Nestled just off Queen Street in the heart of Wells, Rajah Spice Tandoori offers a quietly inviting refuge where the warm, aromatic allure of Indian spices greets you even before stepping inside. The restaurant’s upstairs location gives a cozy, somewhat intimate feel — a gentle retreat from the bustle of the town center. There’s a relaxed yet polished rhythm in the air, with attentive staff weaving effortlessly through tables, balancing friendly attentiveness and unobtrusive service, inviting you to settle in and soak up the comforting atmosphere.

The space carries a subtle elegance that hints at its fine dining leanings, but without any pretense. It’s the kind of place where the focus remains on the food as a shared experience, around tables laden with fragrant aromas and colorful plates. The impressive menu draws from North Indian traditions but puts its own thoughtful, modern spin on each dish. Here, naan bread arrives with an inviting warmth and various subtle twists, perfectly suited to scoop up richly spiced curries and smoky kebabs that hold stories in every bite — whether you’re drawn to something gently creamy or a dish with a touch of fiery boldness.

What stands out most is how well it fits into the local rhythm, especially for those in search of a dependable late-night meal or a welcoming space after an evening out. It holds a gentle liveliness even when busy, rooted in genuine hospitality that feels both practiced and personal. Families with young children find it welcoming and accommodating, while couples and friends appreciate the measured pace that lets conversation settle in comfortably alongside the food.

Whether you're pausing by after exploring Wells’ historic streets or carving out a quiet moment for yourself, Rajah Spice Tandoori presents a quietly thoughtful approach to Indian dining — where flavors unfold naturally, and the experience feels at once familiar and carefully considered.
