Excellent Indian food in Santa Fe! Spiced exactly right. Very authentic Indian food hitting the same and better quality bar as the Indian restaurants in England. 10/10 recommend. Great for takeout ? the tikka masala is out of this world

If this restaurant were based in Denver CO I'd frequent it every week. You Santa Fean's are in luck that there's an East Indian Chef that brings out the wonderful flavors rather than the spice which is where ALL the other Indian restaurants have got it wrong. I am originally from India and prolly ate Chicken Curry as my first baby solid food in the early 80's. I always rate a new Indian restaurant on two staple foods... Chicken Tikka Masala and their Mango Lassi. This guy ... Chef Paddy ... got both these foods right and actually set a new benchmark for flavors in my book. I've eaten 100's of Chicken Tikka Masalas in 100's of restaurants in India and the USA and the food here is the Chicken Tikka Benchmark of Indian restaurants.My wife ordered the Paneer Tikka and Butter Chicken on different occasions and she was impressed. We ordered the baklava based on another review and it did not disappoint. We are considering getting food from here again today... a third day in a row for our 5 day Santa Fe trip, this speaks volumes of how good the food is. 8.11.2023

I ordered 4 entrees for takeout yesterday. 3 of the entrees were inedible. It was just the worst food I’ve had, probably anywhere. I got pad Thai-not the slightest resemblance of the dish, the noodles were way over cooked and mushy, just gross-flavors were severely off. 2nd dish-a flat noodle dish, it was like they opened a jar of sweet and sour sauce and just poured it all over the noodles. Shrimp was wagyu over cooked-one bite and I wanted to spit it out-a $28 dish at that. 3rd dish- vegetable biryani- way too much seasoning, couldn’t enjoy because it was so overpowering. Last dish was chicken massaman-the only edible dish, but it was not massaman, and just a curry of some kind.Chef-taste your food, this was just unacceptably awful for the price. I would never let this food walk out of my kitchen.

We were lucky enough to have been able to enjoy Chef Paddy Rawal's cuisine in East Lansing, MI when he had his Mumbai restaurant there. We made a point to stop in Santa Fe, NM while on our way to Phoenix AZ, to again enjoy the sophisticated and complex flavors of his wonderful lamb vindaloo. It was just as good as I remembered!! Thank you, Chef!
Parking: Large free parking lot behind the restaurant!

We are on vacation in Santa Fe, had a craving for Indian food, and found Raga Go, a gourmet, takeaway venue. We looked at two other restaurants but since it was a Monday, both were closed. We are so glad they were! Chef Paddy Rawal greeted us and immediately offered to make us an appetizer that his mother used to make him. It was delicious and nothing like we had ever had before. We brought food home and it was amazing. Thank you Chef Rawal! We may see you again before we head back to Boston. - Michele & Isabel
Mmmm Meh
Our go to pick up spot. Not everything is amazing, but the dishes we like are on point. The crispy okra is our favorite! I wouldn’t suggest their biryani. Surprisingly their Thai masaman curry is some of the best Thai curry in town. Be warned though when they say mild, they mean MILD. We usually get spicy, but had a guest over that can’t do spicy, so we got mild, and that apparently also means no flavor. It was the blandest Indian food we’ve ever had.
Vegetarian options: Good veg options.

Best Indian food I've ever had, and I've had it in many major cities across the U.S. and UK. I was in Santa Fe for a month-long business trip and regret not discovering this spot until the day before I left. All the ingredients were top notch. The sauces were extraordinary. The chicken was tender and delicious. I would fly back to Santa Fe from the East Coast for this food. Also, oddly enough for an Indian restaurant, it was the best baklava I've ever had from any Greek restaurant. If you love Indian food, add this place to your bucket list.

Chef Paddy served me rancid shrimp for $25. We ordered take out this weekend and were given food that would have surely made us violently ill. The shrimp where the consistency of toothpaste and smelled like a dead cat. There is absolutely no way they didn't smell the shrimp when they were cooking it. Honestly, we were excited when Raaga made their return, but we will never order food from them again after this horrid experience.

We had Raaga-go for the first time tonight, and ate it while watching Chef Paddy beat Bobby Flay on TV. Food was a phenomenal blend of spices (I had the Biriyani). Paddy truly is a gift to Santa Fe!!

What a hidden gem! Both of us are gluten-free and vegan and the options at Raaga Go are plentiful, abundant and delicious! We have ordered three straight weeks in a row… The chef is so personal and amazing at what he does! Our new go to spot in Santa Fe!
Vegetarian options: Amazing GF and Vegan Options… Hands down, the best in town!
This is the place for ridiculously delicious Indian food. Even in a foodie town, the dishes here stand out.The Paneer Palak, Vegetable Korma and Pad Thai were fabulous. So much flavor and just the right amount of heat!Paddy is a true Master!

Palak paneer was bland and just not very good. Whatever, there aren't good choices for Indian food in Santa Fe and I was craving it. What I can't believe is they literally gave me one piece of frozen Trader Joe's garlic naan for my order of naan. I am not kidding. I buy Trader Joe's naan all the time and it's great to make at home but, seriously??? I am really angry that I paid for this, and it was not cheap.

My daughter and I order take out every week. Tandori chicken is our favorite! The food and service are amazing!

Food was good and available when promised. Close to the historic area. Open for dinner takeout only.
