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.

My friend and I ended up switching plans after walking by Raag. We were immediately greeted at the front door and sat. Our server was extremely attentive and asked thoughtful questions when making menu suggestions. He asked about what spice level we wanted and what types of proteins we preferred. Looking at other pictures of the blackened chicken on Yelp made me nervous, as this was definitely outside of my comfort zone, but I am so happy that it was suggested by our server. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful. Would also highly recommend the vegetable and fig dish. Would definitely return!

I wanted to like this place, but I won’t be back. Nice atmosphere, but the food is seriously lacking. We ordered 5 dishes, all were insufficient. Rogan Josh was like pasta sauce with four pieces of lamb thrown in just before it was served. Makhni the same - dry (white) chicken added to a bland uninteresting sauce just before it is served. Portions of dal too small and missing complexity. Rice portions also too small. Please add some meat and interest to your dishes!!!!

We had dinner here last Saturday and haven't stopped thinking about it! Everything was great from the ambiance to the service to the food and spice levels. (We ordered Medium and it had a nice kick to it). Favorite app for me was the paneer - I've never had it served that way but it was fantastic! For an entree you can't go wrong with the Butter Chicken. Don't forget about the cocktails - I had a martini with tikki misala and it was amazing! Perfectly balanced with different notes throughout. This restaurant reminds us of the way they do Indian food in London. 5 stars!
