Food was wonderful and high quality; the best item was the keema arancini. Enjoyed the lively music and sitting by the fireplace in the winter. read more

Since the establishment was clearly labeling themselves as fancy Indian food, it was very clear that they put a lot of thought into presentation. Most of the food they served looked gorgeous, to the point that some may think they were overshadowing the flavor. But I can confidently say that in terms of flavor, many of the dishes were extremely on point as well. Items like the blackened chicken, the tomato dal, the butter chicken, and the palak paneer were very flavorful. The blackened chicken was juicy and tender, too, on top of containing abundant flavor. The samosas contained an abundant amount of potatoes and peas. I could taste a good amount of tomatoes and coconut milk in the butter chicken, which was very creamy. I could also taste very strong garam masala in the palak paneer, which was a great thing. The butter naan was an excellent addition because the flavorful curry definitely needed more than rice to evoke its full potential, and naan bread was perfect for such. In terms of dessert, the mango mousse was incredible! Its soft but solid texture made it very easy to break up and consume, while maintaining its shape without collapsing. The saffron, milk powder, and cream altogether offered a very integral taste that had lots of depth. I honestly want to try all the desserts on their menu, too, like the coconut pannacotta and the basundi pistachio tiramisu, because they both looked amazing on the menu. While this establishment is not one of those places you visit that often, it is perfect for a date night because it has clean and relatively fancy decor along with flavorful food and can evoke a romantic vibe. I will for sure return here in the future and highly recommend it for those looking for quality Indian restaurants! read more

Raag never disappoints, Absolutely blown away! I came back after more than 5 months, and it's still serves up the most authentic Indian cuisine I've had in Minnesota--hands down. I tried the Palak Paneer and Lamb Biryani, and both dishes were nothing short of amazing. The Palak Paneer was creamy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced, while the Lamb Biryani had that deep, aromatic blend of spices with tender, juicy lamb cooked to perfection. You can really taste the love and authenticity in every bite. The service was outstanding--attentive, warm, and knowledgeable about the menu. The ambiance was modern yet cozy, making it great for both casual dinners and special occasions. Bonus points for plenty of parking--a rare win in the twin cities or may be even the mid west! If you're looking for top-tier Indian food in Minnesota, Raag is the real deal. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. read more

1) amazing Indian food, this is fantastic, great to go with a family or just on a date, highly recommend 2) they also just opened up a coffee shop in the corner which has awesome coffee and fantastic service read more

I liked this place, it was fun and novel ... not a place I would go all the time because of the price and I also wouldn't say the food is knock your socks off good ... but it is solid and the flavor profile is so much more dynamic than the majority of places in Southwest Minneapolis. read more

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. read more

Loved this cute place! The decor was cozy and romantic. We sat by the fireplace, which was nice on a cold day. Service was great- just some advice, leave a drink menu on the table vs taking them all, in case we want to order different drinks. We ordered the scallops appetizer, traditional samosas, buttered chicken, garlic naan and their lamb shank special. Everything was delicious! My favorite was the butter chicken and garlic naan. So much flavor. I'm excited to try their lunch and happy hour menu soon. read more

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. read more

Great service and food. My wife loved the atmosphere. Great date night spot!!! Cocktails were outstanding!!!

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

The service here is absolutely the best. I have been here twice and the food and people do not disappoint. Excellent options if you have a vegetarian in your group, as we did. Wonderful place to catch up too - you can easily hear everyone in your group. read more

The spot is phenomenal., their staff is brilliant, Chef is adventurous, plating a spot on, nice cocktail program, and the owner and his daughter are amazing. The salmon dish is lovely. read more

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. read more

The food was delicious and ambitious was wonderful for a dinner out. Would gladly go there again.

I've been to Raag a couple of times - often for birthdays. We went recently and were left feeling disappointed. I made the mistake of not checking the receipt before paying. We were charged twice for rice (which was supposed to come with the entrees we ordered). We were also celebrating a birthday this past week which we noted in the reservation. No acknowledgment at all. For an upscale place like Raag wants to be, I'm expecting more from the customer experience. read more

Stopped in for desserts after dinner. The desserts were tasty and unique. Unlike most places where you can guess the dessert menu. We sat on the patio which is not the most scenic by I appreciate the attempt. The food is very good. The wait staff is attentive. Watch your tip though - it may already be included in the bill. We were burned once with that. read more

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. read more

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 read more

We visited Raag on a Friday evening around 6:30 pm. We were seated quickly and the severs were ever quick to come take drink orders. I ordered a gin martini with Hendricks and it was perfectly made with very generous portions. I was with a group of five people, so we decided to share some entrees to be able to try more things. We started with the break basket (with garlic naan, butter naan, and plan roti) and the scallops for an appetizer. The scallops were beautifully presented and had a great balance of grill and curry flavor. The lemon on top added a great acidity while the roe added the perfect amount of salinity. Highly recommend. For entrees we ordered the lamb roganjosh, butter chicken, and palak paneer. My one complaint overall is that each dish came with a ton of sauce and only 4-5 pieces of protein. I wish there were more substance to some of the dishes. The lamb roganjosh was great - the lamb was tender, the sauce hearty and spicy, packed with flavor. The butter chicken was the table favorite. It was creamy and rich with a great tomato flavor. And finally the palak paneer was probably the least favorite of the three entrees, but it had promise. The sauce was beautiful and thick, packed with a nice spice and creamy rich spinach flavor. The paneer however, was hard and didn't feel like it had been heated up. It wasn't creamy like I've had in other dishes. Again, there wasn't a lot of paneer in the sauce - I would have loved to see much more paneer in every bite. Each dish was served with rice and if you ask, they will bring more to help soak up every drop of the sauces. We ended up having some leftovers for the five of us, so portions are generous and pricing is very reasonable. I love this addition to 50th and France and I highly recommend! read more

Beautiful modern space and an apparent love for Taylor Swift (we heard most of her discography). We ordered potato samosas (not pictured) that were AMAZING. flaky pastry on the outside and a creamy potato inside with great, spices and good heat. We ordered the shareable palak paneer, and the red lentils both medium spice. the palak paneer had a great smooth texture, but was not spicy or warm in anyway. the paneer tasted homemade, which was a highlight but the aforementioned attributes did not make this a very memorable dish. The red lentils were very good. Flavors, temperature and heat were right on point for the medium spice level. We ordered the 3 naan baskets and it was really quite good. The service was very attentive with the water, maybe too much with lingering with having us order pretty quickly because it is such a big menu. Overall would return for their brunch crepe bar! read more

Don't bother spending your money here. The Indian food is not that good and on top of that, the company is very stingy. The service isn't quality either.

Came here to celebrate my friend's Birthday and it turned out amazing! First off the owner was super friendly and I even called ahead to ask if they would allow us to bring in a cake and they said it was totally okay. Once we got there the owner let us store the cake in the fridge while we were eating dinner and then brought it out for dessert. They even put the candles on top that we had brought and played a cute birthday song while bringing the cake out! Besides the amazing service, the food was so good! Everything had a ton of flavor from all the different spices they use. They also have different spice levels to choose from which was nice to have. I tend to like really spicy dishes while my friends were more into mild spice so it worked out really well for us. All in all I think our favorite dishes were the potato samosas and the lamb shank! I'm not a huge lamb person but that dish was life changing. read more

The good: this restaurant has nice decor and and setup. The food was good and there was a great variety to choose from. I also really liked the Raag mule I ordered (so much that I had two). The not so good: it was confusing that the entrees are listed as "share" sized but in reality they were actually on the small side, even for 1 person. Also, I wish the waiter gave us a run down of how many appetizers and entrees we should order for our party size to give us a better understanding when we were ordering. There was only one food runner for a full restaurant on a busy night. Not sure if someone called out or not but he was pulled in too many directions. For example, we ordered Samosas and they were served with an empty sauce dish. It was another 15 min or so before the waiter stopped by and we asked for the sauce that usually comes with the samosas. read more

Raag is a beautiful restaurant with good service and some great dishes, though some are misses, and all are a bit pricey. Raag is very approachable for those who aren't familiar with or comfortable with Indian food. Beautifully appointed with a bright full bar, and helpful servers who will answer your questions. Dishes are plated nicely and presented well, and represent many regions of India. To start, we tried the samosas, sliders and paneer skewers. All were quite good, and the samosas were some of the best I've ever had. The mains were a mixed bag, and all were overly sweet. The lentils were creamy and had a great flavor. The butter chicken was good and only a little too sweet. The dish that fell flat was the one they highly recommended - the spring vegetables and fig kofta. While it had good flavors, it was so sweet that it was hard to eat. At the end of the meal, everyone kept offering the leftovers of this dish to others. Overall, Raag is a nice experience that offers Indian flavors with a more western dining experience at Edina prices. read more

Really enjoyed my meal at Raag last night. We ordered the Raag Mule off the happy hour menu; was a fruitier version of a standard mule. We also ordered the Masala French Fries from the happy hour menu; really great cut and seasoned fries. Served with ketchup, but even better when dipped in the other dishes. Additional from the small bites happy hour menu I had to try the street style samosa - "so good" doesn't cover the sentiments of how much I enjoyed the dish and mint tamarind dip. We split the Delhi Butter Chicken and I loved that you can ask for what level of spice you want. I'd order this dish again. The chicken was so tender and I want to put the sauce on everything. Our server was very attentive and didn't pressure us to leave (we were catching up for several hours!). They had a mandolin (?) guitar player that was nice ambiance, but it did get a little loud. There is parking behind the restaurant that was a little hard for me to find, but I'll take it since street parking was full. read more

I was really excited to try this restaurant. The menu looks amazing and I was really pumped about progressive Indian cuisine. Unfortunately my experience was underwhelming. On walking in, there was a very strong smell of intense that was almost chocking. Not great. Ordered a Manhattan and my date ordered the Moscow Mule. The Manhattan was served with ice in a cocktail glass. It drank very watery and I really missed the vermouth flavor. The Mule was good. As an appetizer, we got the sea bass. It was incredibly delicious. Flaky, flavorful , yummy. For entrees we got the goat stew and the butter chicken. The goat stew lacked seasoning but the goat was really tender and nice. The butter chicken was delicious ! We got the chocolate dome for dessert. It was okay. Service was attentive ! Really hoped for a better culinary experience read more

Start to finish amazing! Really pretty space with attentive enthusiastic service! Date night here was memorable. We loved the dry ice display brought to the table when we sat down. On the weekends they offer a street food experience where a dish is made table side. Fun & delicious! I think it was the manager who helped us decide what to get off the menu when we told him we wanted more Authentic Indian instead of the fusion. I had the spring vegetables and fig Kofta and it was sooooo amazing I can't stop thinking about its sweetness. We had garlic naan too. Husband had lamb something and he loved his too. Looking forward to going back! read more

Excellent ambience. Great food. Reasonable price. Good service. Food presentation was fabulous.

So far my favorite Indian restaurant in Minneapolis with the most fancy interior. Loved the food! The usual Indian food like curry is obviously very delicious. I would like to give 5 star to the sea bass I ordered. I think this can be a great place for Indian food with a bit modern/ fusion twist. Love it! read more
