“Excellent start to the weekend with a little bit of spice!Raas has a very large menu so it is hard to make a decision. In the end, we selected some winners. What an experience. The wait staff is well-trained and very professional. The chef, GG, came to our table and talked through almost every menu selection with regards to spice and allergens. We found out the waiter was on his 5th day but you would never know it. He explained to us that he has been doing this for many years and had been a server in NYC, Vegas, Chicago, etc and that he was a true professional server. It made for one of the better dining experiences that I’ve had in a long time.Of course, always start with a cocktail.I went with the Indian spin on a Marguerita with mango, Indian chilis and peppered tequila. Hot!! Sarah had the “Indian Winter” which is Vanilla Vodka, Honey Cardamom Simple, Lemon Juice, Angostura bitters, and Star Anise. She loved it (no pic).Raas offers several different types of naan and I insisted on the chili cheese. Spicy!For appetizers, we selected Tandoori Prawns and Chicken Seek Kabobs. The shrimp were grilled and delicious but that fresh “slaw” they were served with was outstanding. The chicken kabobs were interesting. It was ground chicken mixed with herbs. The appearance is unusual but after one bite I made the statement, “I could eat a whole bucket of those”.Dinner was a tougher choice. Sarah and I both had numerous entrees that we were debating but in the end we went with Cinnamon Curry Chicken and the Lamb Shank Rogan Josh. What you first notice is the perfect preparation of the rice. It is small grain, light, fluffy, and doesn’t stick. It’s spot on. Sarah was very pleased with her dish. Like most Indian food, it has a lot of herbs and spices with the cinnamon at the front. My Lamb Shank originally came out in a copper bucket where the server carefully pulled it out of the bucket to keep the meat intact. It was literally falling off the bone. It was tender and the sauce was outstanding (not spicy). However, there was a saffron pulao on the side that almost melted my face off. Spicy and delicious.By this time we were stuffed but why not get dessert? They make their own ice cream and we went with Mango, Tamarind, and Saffron. I love tamarind but that flavor was just ok for me. I found the saffron ice cream to be my favorite and it is very smooth and light for a saffron-based dish.The star of the dessert show was the chocolate mousse. Very complex and very dark, it paired well with our aged port.One note, we found ourselves loving the music, a blend of lounge covers of songs from bands like Radiohead and the Beatles. One Shazam and we found an artist named Karen Souza. Understand there is a time and place for this type of music but it is definitely late night bourbon background jam material.“
“We wanted to like it more than we did. Our server Casey was wonderful. But we were kind of “meh” about the food. Lots of interesting sounding choices, but we weren't wowed by ones we chose. Duck seemed a little dry ish. It was dumpling night, so had a few of those too. Seemed sticky with fried edges and inside wasn't all that flavorful. Nice for Rehoboth to have another Asian restaurant, but don't know that we'd go back...“
