    Crispy Asian Salad (df, gfo), Sticky Cauliflower (vg, gf)
    Mark M.

    One of my top 3 all-time meals in 60 years of dining throughout the U.S. and Europe. (FYI, the other two were in Illertissen, France and Paducah, KY, if you can imagine.) Perfect for us vegetarians. Mango mousse dessert was a highlight, as was a beet-filled kofta. Super creative takes. Relaxed but professional service. Spacious, bright (in daylight) room.

    No-jito

    Gorgeous decor and setting. Tasty dishes and friendly, efficient service. Great spot for date night or dinner out with friends. Also offers mocktails. Try the No-hito and Butter Chicken. Spice levels can be high for a more bland palate, but medium is a safe bet.

    Lamb Yakhni Biryani (Dinner)

    The restaurant environment is very nice! It's great to hang out with friends or just for family dine out. I ordered those dishes with an Indian friend. So I know they are authentic and also yum! The blackened chicken is a little dry to me. But the cheese appetizer is amazing, like tofu!

    Love the concept and this is truly the only place with a mix of both traditional and modern, fusion dishes in the city! We tried the lamb keema bao, butter chicken empanada for starters which we loved. The bao was our favorite for sure. So unique and delicious! For mains we got the shrimp moilee, eggplant mousakka, and lamb rogan Josh. The shrimp was some of the best curry we've had and I loved the eggplant as well. The pieces of lamb in the rogan Josh were tough and chewy, but everything else was great. I also had a chai which came hot and was well spiced. Overall a great spot and hope to try more of their dishes soon!

    Enjoyed a delicious brunch at Raag. The food is perfectly proportioned and a visual treat, with very good variety. This isn't a typical Indian restaurant- it is modern, upscale, and "progressive" so to speak. Enjoyed trying a chai-tini martini to start with. For mains, our party had various dishes including chole bhatura, Szechuan dosa, dhokla, and noodle dishes. The meal was preceded by a unique sensory aromatic experience on the table! While the dosas were flavorful and unique, these were not the large crispy dosas evoked into memory from traditional South Indian restaurants. All the other items were very flavorful and tasty. Finished the meal with various self serve sweet treats. Really enjoyed this unique Indian meal.

    Raag amazed me. This place is full of flavors and surprises. We came here for brunch and ordered several items from the brunch menu. The Dosa was made live and we could see the making. We ordered the Szechuan flavor and they are not shy on the amount of hot sauce on the dose. Chicken Tikka omelet, chicken waffle, puffy bread with chickpeas, cake, all the desserts. I do wish their website gives a clearer menu as we usually try to identify dishes we want to order. Perhaps we weren't looking at the right spot. All the dishes we shared was amazing!! I am in love with this restaurant and we can't wait to come back to try their dinner.

    This place isn't what it used to be like. The food quality has changed a lot. The fig kofta was my favorite but from my recent visit, I did not like the taste of it. The gravy has been changed and so it doesn't taste as good anymore! I did enjoy the mini idly on the menu! Ambiance is great as always. I just wish they didn't change the food recipes. Vegetarian thali was mediocre. The stew wasn't as flavorful and the garlic naan came out not that crispy, which is how I prefer. I hope they go back to their old recipes. Service is good, people are always nice when we go there.

    Dosa
    Greg W.

    Had them twice now. Once for takeout and once for brunch dosa. Both times are amazing with great food, friendly staff, and a relaxing atmosphere. The dosa (rice and lentil crepes) are perfectly light and crispy; not at all greasy/soggy like some places. Chutney was also great. My favorites were the paneer and ghee ones. Wife got the lamb wrap and it was also fantastic. The naan was crispy and charred on the outside but still super soft and flexible. Lamb was very moist and tender. Very flavorful but not overly spiced so you still get the "straw" flavor of the lamb. Cocktails were good as well. Very unique signatures. Having been back for dinner I will say that it gets expensive fast.

    Awesome evening. Brought in some guests from out of town and wanted to show them a great meal and experience. Across the board, they all were amazed at the food and the taste of the dishes. Special kudos to the shrimp and coconut dish. The yellow sauce was a huge hit and popular around the table. Yum! Thank you for taking care of my guest who has celiacs. She felt comfortable and safe and loved how knowledgeable and accommodating the team was for her concerns. Thank you! That meant a lot for her

    Shrimp Moilee (gf, df, cr) Paneer Makhani (cr)

    Food was AMAZING. We also got the paneer appetizer that was so so good. The decor is so pretty. You can tell they put a lot of thought into every detail. You can tell the food and drinks also have that extra level of detail that makes it stand out!

I love boba and a little alcy boba is so fun and unique (in the US at least). I also love that there is an option for food there as well, though I haven't actually tried any of it yet. Just nice to have food option! I went for the Valentine's specials that were donating part of profits to Immigrant Law Center of MN (woohoo go Tii Cup for doing what you can!). We came during trivia so there was a bit of a wait to be seated, but we got in after 30ish minutes. We just waited downstairs, which was nice because same building obviously. I got a cocktail that I cannot actually remember anymore (a good reminder to do reviews ASAP) :( I remember it was fruity (strawberry?), light, and yummy. My friend got the Golden Raspberry Beret which was more whiskey heavy. I liked it though, good amount of raspberry and cream and the popping strawberry boba were sooo good!

Stopped in for Valentine's Day special drinks at the bar, we came right when trivia was happening on a Sunday night so it took a while to get a table but we were able to wait downstairs and get some regular boba drinks. I got an Ube Twister with Coconut Snow and added Lychee popping boba, completely delicious. About 30-40 min later we got seated upstairs in the bar after being added to the waitlist by phone number. Super cute place, very cozy and low light. My drink was something with Japanese whiskey, raspberry, and popping boba. A bit heavy on the whiskey for my taste but my friend's fruity little cocktail was much better. Sadly we were seated after the kitchen closed so we didn't get to try any of the food, but will definitely be back!

It even came with a side salad and salsa to dip it in! For $15-16 it was a large portion and easily was 2 meals.

I came here a few days ago during their "crabby hour" from 8-10 pm and we all each ordered our set of a truffle fries, a Granada slider, and a mahi mahi taco. The fries were incredible. They were super crispy, cooked perfectly and I love truffle with fries. The best part however was the aioli that came paired with it. It had a citrusy, umami flavor that was just so incredible I would have taken a whole jar home if I was able to. Absolutely perfect and can make any dish. The Granada slider was also awesome. It was bigger than I expected and included that wonderful aioli again, along with some greens, the patty, manchego cheese, and bacon. It was delicious and once again that aioli is just perfect and it was a much larger amount of food than I was expecting. I also had the mahi mahi taco as well which was good, but not my favorite. I'd probably try something instead of this again next time. Also, the staff is super funny and really awesome. We had Cassie (sorry if I got this wrong) and she was super kind, made a lot of jokes, and even gave us a tour of the theatre when we asked if we could take a peak to see what it looks like. Incredible service, we had a really great time with her. We all are definitely going to come back soon, and maybe even come for a show! But the food alone is worth a visit for sure in my opinion. I strongly recommend the Granada Slider and you have to get the truffle fries with the aioli. A side note the menu is a little confusing as they are transitioning menus so be patient as the staff have no control and the food is worth the confusion.

It had a 1920's art deco vibe which I love. We had a reservation but the host seemed to struggle to find it, almost even questioning the validity of it even though I showed her proof they texted confirmation. Thankfully they gave us a table right away anyways. The restaurant is attached to a theatre so it gets really busy prior to showtimes and the service becomes slow or non existent. At one point it even seemed that they forgot about us and the manger noticed so she made sure to get our food to us. The server later apologized and was very kind but I couldn't help but notice she took the time to chit chat with coworkers while we waited. When the theatre performance started it loudly traveled into the restaraunt through the walls. While it didn't bother me I can see how this may bother others. I'm actually glad we went because we learned about the theatre and would like to attend a show sometime. I just wouldn't recommend going to the restaraunt unless you are seeing a show there.

The mushroom bruschetta similarly underwhelmed - it felt like it was missing something to make it stand out. The bright spot? The drinks were solid and well-crafted. I wanted to rate this higher based on the atmosphere and service alone, but at the end of the day, the food has to deliver. With so many great options in Minneapolis, Nightingale needs to step up its culinary game to match its lovely setting. I'd consider returning for drinks, but probably not for dinner.
