Enjoyed an incredible dinner here after attending Lewes hospitality night and wow it truly was a wonderful experience. The service was excellent and the food was delicious ! We can’t wait to go back again.
First time visit the place. I loved the food and ambience of the place. Love that they have halal options - makes its extremely convenient Tried salmon coconut curry and lamb korma and both were delicious. I felt the price was on little expensive side - but the quality was top notch

Would give it 6 stars if I could. The food is fantastic, the service is warm and friendly. One of our favorite places on the shore. Never disappoints.

An enjoyable birthday dinner for my wife. I booked a reservation at the request of my wife for her birthday dinner. It is usually our treat on our anniversary, but she decided to mix things up. I was perfectly fine with that! We brought along a known “curmudgeon” guest and his wife...both of whom had never dined at Raas or had any Indian cuisine. Yes, I expected them to “back out”, but was very pleased they joined us. Kim our Server, was a lot of fun and showed extreme patience and kindness to our table, as our guests tried to order. Kim managed them like a pro! Thank You! We all tried the two orders of the Scallop appetizer and everyone agreed....excellent! Perfectly seared scallops with the right amount of fresh seasonings! Delicious! I was going to order us the Tasting platter so they could sample a little of everything, but Mr Curmudgeon spied the lamb shank and that ended that conversation. He was all in! I gotta admit, it looked and tasted amazing! Yes, I swiped some of his plate! My wife got the Cinnamon Chicken Curry and it had just the right amount of spice and heat! Mrs Curmudgeon ordered the Shrimp Tikka Marsala and despite her feeling it was a bit too spicy, I noticed there was little to nothing left on her plate. I went for the Indian Spiced Tuna and thoroughly enjoyed it.....not being critical, but could have been a little “less done” to my taste. Still....delicious! The smoked vegetables (fresh carrot and peas) were wonderful! The staff are amazing, friendly and funny! Appreciate the dessert they provided.....though to be fair, my wife never had a chance to get in her suggestion as to what dessert she wanted.....Mr Curmudgeon was very vocal about ordering the chocolate cake to share amongst us....lol. My wife was kind and agreed. We all enjoyed the delicious chocolate cake slice that Raas kindly provided. Oh, by the way...creative cocktails and delicious lassi's enjoyed as well. Thank you to the owners, staff and of course, Chef and his team in the kitchen!

We dined at Raas last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I had alerted the Raas team of our special occasion and they couldn't have done a better job to make our evening special. The entire staff knew of our anniversary and wished us the best. The service, food and setting were exceptional. Thank you to the entire Raas Team for helping to make this a wonderful evening!!

This was our second time at this highly underrated Indian food restaurant on a quiet street corner in Lewes. We live in Washington DC and I think Raas is as good or better than anything we can get in DC. The cocktails are imaginative and true to the season. The server was so friendly and very knowledgable about all of the dishes. Raas takes basic dishes, like daal, and elevates them to the sublime. And they have offerings on the menu that imprint their own take on Indian flavors. The swordfish tikka was other worldly. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated; my only minor suggestion is that a little background music could add to the experience and provide some privacy between tables. It's slightly more on the expensive side, but nothing compared to the prices we pay in DC, only in comparison to some of the other local offerings. And Raas' commitment to quality ingredients and a great dining experience is well worth the money. We will go back whenever we are in town.

The best food we've enjoyed in Lewes! Curtis, the bartender and server, was exceptional—offering great recommendations and fantastic drinks. Head Chef Sadam, the kindest person, is truly passionate about his cuisine. He's interesting and friendly, making the experience even more special. They were also very generous with complimentary items. We can't praise our visit enough and will definitely return!

Excellent dining experience. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Our server was most helpful and provided us with a pleasant dining experience . The food was fresh and delicious. My tastebuds were tantalized. We will definitely be back !
The ambiance of Raas is quite beautiful and charming and we have very much enjoyed previous visits. This time we ordered the chef's tasting — served all at once, on a tray for each diner, as an assortment of about a dozen recipes which ranged from very good to a disappointment (the chunks of lamb and chicken were dry, very tough and nearly impossible to cut in the tiny bowls those dishes came in). Though service was very friendly and attentive, we are unlikely to return.

Our recent visit to Raas in Lewes was extremely disappointing. From the start, mistakes kept happening: the Italian wine we ordered was actually from Sonoma, and the server’s explanation was confusing. My husband’s Branzino arrived wrong, and the replacement was unexpectedly large, with no warning. While waiting, staff offered naan bread, but we were later charged for it. The Branzino cost $132, and the wine was $12 more than expected.
We noticed a note at the door stating “under new management,” which might explain the series of errors. Having enjoyed two previous visits with excellent experiences, this recent visit completely shattered our expectations. Errors after errors ruined what was meant to be a special evening. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.
After our review: The manager personally called to apologize, and we could feel how sincere he was. It really impressed us — it’s clear he’s someone who takes his work to heart.
