The food was truly amazing. The shrimp curry was the best I have ever had! We shared empanadas and kofta and we not disappointed with anything. The wait staff were friendly and informative. There was an acoustic guitar play that created a very nice ambiance. I would HIGHLY recommend and will definitely return soon.

Service is very poor. Dosa came without without sambharl potato and chutney. After 5 minutes, chutney came, and sambhar came after another 10 minutes after multiple reminders. Owner came and spoke with us thereafter, and tried fixing things with new set of dosas, but they lack process to run a restaurant. Though he seemed like a nice guy, but needs help in running the place successfully.I wont eat dosas again there, quality was poor.Aloo bonda was very good.Omlette with chicken tikka was good, I think chiken tikka was dry and could use some kind of moisture in it to make it pallatable.DONT order chai...it was very cold. After owner tried fixing it, we order coffee, it was hot and nice, but took them forever to make it. 2 coffee cups came within 10 min....other 3 took 20+ minutes.I dont know if I will go there again.

I wish that I could give a rating lower than a 1. Unfortunately, I could not provide a zero or a negative number.My wife and I have been regulars at this place both dining in and taking out. However, we completely stopped going there after our last visit. We placed our orders and made sure the server got the items down correctly. Instead, we were served items that we never asked for. However, the server smiled and suggested that we have no choice but to eat it. He was very defiant and verbally aggressive.While we were getting ready to eat the appetizer, yet again they brought us the wrong one. We asked them to get the one that we placed an order for and the server started to argue with us. Finally, they served the rest of our meals (and there was a mistake in that too) and one of them came up to apologize for the mistake in communication but not for their poor behavior. We accepted their apology for getting our orders wrong.However, we are quite certain that their apology was insincere as my wife and I got violently ill after having the food there. It took us an entire week for both of us to recover. We are suspecting that they contaminated our food. We will never go back there again.

My parents and I had lunch at Raag this week, and we all loved the experience. As a vegan I had a lot of delicious options, and everything was labeled (vg/ gf etc.). The atmosphere is serene and beautiful, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend Raag and we will be back again soon!

Food was great and good atmosphere. Service was fine. Not as good as it was hyped to be with Michelin chef, but still very good.

We have been to Raag a few times now, but all times for dinner. The food was phenomenal.Our most recent visit was for brunch and we were surprised by the lack of flavor in some dishes. Hope it is a one-off.

Came here for Holi brunch. A wonderful experience with kind people, amazing food and an overall wonderful experience. The food is some of the best Indian food I've had and is definitely an upscale modern take. We'll be back again.

A unique yet a different approach towards Indian cuisine. Casual and relaxed atmosphere with a cute bar to enjoy a drink before a fusion style Indian food.

To be honest, the food was mid. The drinks were midplus. Going to Raag Indian Cuisine for the second time was a huge downgrade from the first time all in all, but hey I got a cute picture of the drink!*because of the day we went on, it was busy, but at this price point you expect a certain level of both service and food quality. We tried the Rogan Josh, which was a bit too sweet and felt like they had just stirred in chilli powder when we asked for spicy, the meat was unflavored, the empanadas were served with nothing but a simple chili sauce which didn’t do much to balance the flavors of the dry empanada, the chicken biriyani was mild but flavorful, however it made no lasting impression. Towards the end we weren’t able to get dessert because the kitchen closed and no one notified us even though we had just received our meals.

Staff told us that there are relatively new owners and the menu is a bit different.They have a good variety of vegan and gluten-free options.We have been here a few times and have tried all the vegan options, including the jackfruit creme brulee - all excellent.Plan on spending more at this Indian restaurant than others.Dietary restrictions: Vegan, gluten-free option available.

Good choice for vegetarians. Vegetable fig kofta and the spinach yellow dhal is amazing!

Update Dec 2023:Went back recently and Ill say this is still a great place to eat and a great place to take friends and family however my latest experience bought my pervious 5 star rating down to 4 star for a couple of reasons.First, they do this really cool thing where they put an aromatic dry ice fog thing on the table when you sit down, but they didn’t do it for our table, I saw them to it to other tables but they forgot or didn’t bother on ours.Second I asked the server whether the Panna cotta uses Halal gelatin or not and he said ‘no no there are no animal products in the deserts’. I had never heard of a gelatin free Panna cotta so I asked him to please confirm with the kitchen. He came back and said that all the deserts are totally halal. Ill accept that is the case for the Panna cotta but one of the 4 deserts is a rum soaked date cake desert… how can that possibly be halal? It just felt very dismissive.Lastly we waited a very long time in between courses to get the servers attention to order desert for example.These are all small things, but when you go to a fine dining place and pay fine dining prices the finer things do matter.Anyway, like I said, still a great place, may have been an off night, the server was actually very nice otherwise and I will probably go back.————————————Great food and great service every time. The food is innovative and progressive yet familiar and tastes as good as it looks! Highly recommend.

Best aspects: wonderful big fireplace, best chai in Twin cities with fresh ginger and cardamom!!Challenges: many items taste similar limited vegetarian options- no tofu, few all vegetable dishes, price high.
