Raas

All around fantastic experience. The building is so cozy and beautifully decorated and so clean. Our waiter (believe his name was David from California) made great recommendations.. he is a truly classy guy who made our experience very special for us. The food was 10/5 stars and I think that’s all you need to know. Perfectly cooked, and out of this world taste. You can tell there is care put into each dish. We shared our meals as we didn’t want leftovers and it was plenty. cannot wait to be in the area again to visit this wonderful place once again

Not your typical Indian restaurant. The menu is focused (not a hundred items) and there’s definitely some pan Asian items on there. You should have your expectations set on cost: everything is expensive. Ask what the market price of that 3.5lb Branzino is so you don’t have sticker shock when the check comes. Hint, it’s more than a tomahawk. This restaurant is more of an elevated, fine dining type of place and it’s priced accordingly. For example (beyond the $130 fish, which was amazing with the garlic lemon coriander sauce) butter chicken is $32 and I wouldn’t say it was “special” vs something you would get for half the price at a typical restaurant. Rice to go? $6. Thai green curry with lamb which packs a punch $34. $20 for 3 beef samosas which were on par with what you would normally get for $12-15 elsewhere. Daughter enjoyed her salmon curry ($36) and we enjoyed the stuffed mushrooms ($16 for 3pcs, each of which were like a little mushroom macron with cheese in the middle of two mushroom) and bacon wrapped plantains($18 for 3). Garlic naan was delicious and we saw them make it in the tandoor oven right in front of us. Deserts are all made in house. The mango ice cream ($12 for two scoops) was good We enjoyed to food, and our server David was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and very caring and helpful when our daughter had a nose bleed. David makes what would be a 3 star rating due to cost/value a 4 star rating. Address the cost or wow me on a $32 butter chicken and this is a 5 star shop. It’s good but just set price expectations. This is the most expensive place in lewes/rehoboth we’ve been to and we’ve been almost everywhere. If you’re looking for typical Indian menu and prices, this is not going to be the place for you. If you’re looking for elevated fine dining then stop in.

Raas is a beautiful Indian restaurant located in a restored victorian house in downtown Lewes, Delaware. The ambiance is excellent and there is a front porch that offers outside dining. Each of the inside tables has an outlet for charging phones, etc., which is convenient. Just my wife and I were dining at Raas on this evening. We started with drinks- she had a spicy mango margarita, which was definitely spicy and I had a 1947 beer (wish they had more Indian beers). For an appetizer we had the Cauliflower Manchurian- which were spcy fritters with a dipping sauce- delicious but don't order this dish if you can't handle hot. For dinner, I had the deconstructed Pork Vindaloo and my wife had the Lamb Shank roganjosh. Both dishes were well presented. The lamb shank is served upright in a small bucket of sauce, which makes it a little messy to get onto your plate- you pretty much have to grab it with your hands. I've been to Indian restaurants where you eat with your hands, but I don't think they intended this to be a hands-on experience. The roganjosh sauce itself was just OK. Slightly bland. The vindaloo was also bland. The pork was cooked perfectly but pork tenderloin is very bland on its own, and the deconstructed preparation means that the pork did not cook in the sauce and didn't absorb any flavor. The vindaloo sauce served on the side simply didn't make up for the bland pork. I applaud their ingenuity but the flavor was simply lacking. Total for the three dishes, two drinks and an order of butter naan was $120 before tip. We will definitely go back to Raas but would not be getting either of those entrees again. We will definitely get the Cauliflower Manchurian again. There are many vegan options on the menu, so we will visit again in summer when our vegan family and friends are in town Will update my review after trying some other entrees.

This is one of the best restaurants I've been to in recent memory. We went early to beat the crowd. David, our waiter, was amazing he made us feel like family and the whole dining experience was better with him as our server. The place is a beautiful restored Victorian home. I don't really know much about Indian food but everything tasted amazing. Fish was incredible. Highly recommend.

Their food was the best, presentation is great!! But I think their price is very high, Close to some very high end restaurant in NYC or Philadelphia! I am only giving them 4 because of their very high price and less portion. I would have given them 3, but we only visited them during 4th of July, post Pandemic weekend so I want to generous in my ratings. Restaurant business adversely affected due to The Pandemic... Overall a really good experience!! Their service was ok but the manager/owner was very nice!

THE BEST Indian restaurant of all the ones in Virginia, DC, Maryland, and Delaware and easily one of the best on East Coast. Best char-grilled scallops bar none (and I’ve had scallops across Michelin rated restaurants and all up and down the country). I hope Chef GG, who’s an awesome guy, opens up a DC outpost soon. His talents definitely deserve a wider exposure. 5/5.
