Raga restaurant
10608 151a St, Surrey, BC V3R 1J8
What a pleasant surprise. We checked out Raga tonight. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with friendly service. The atmosphere and the restaurant was pleasant the music was in the background where it should be and conversations at tables next to us we couldn't hear which made the dining experience pleasant.
Hubby got a glass of the Gehringer Riesling and I had the Pfaff Gewurztraminer which paired perfectly with our meal and the spice level. Started off with the Punjabi style vegetable pakoras which was different as each component was individually battered and deep fried and to be honest was excellent because you get to enjoy each flavor on its own with the tamrin sauce or the mint chutney which were fantastic. Oh and it had the cutest mini Samosas I've ever seen that were yummy.
For the mains we went with the classic Butter Chicken medium spice, which was rich, creamy, and the chicken was nice and tender. On to the Rajware Gosht mild, tender Lamb cooked in a cardamom, ginger, pistachio in a cashew nut Curry. Heavy on the cardamon side but the lamb was so tender it melted in your mouth. Last but not least was the Seafood Goan mild, perfectly cooked salmon, white fish and prawns in a beautiful coconut mint Curry. Has a slight sweetness that made you crave more. Perfect for dipping you Butter Garlic Naan bread in. Of course we had a side of plain rice.
We were so full we didn't have room for dessert so now we have to go back so we can try the desserts lol.
Our waitress Preet was excellent and super attentive making sure we had everything or if we needed anything. Even the floor manager came over to check on us and he was super nice.
Overall it was an excellent dinning experience and can't wait to go back while they have their 50% off on food till August 15th and $5 beer and house white wines. Perfect time to try out some more new dishes.
Lots of parking in the front of the Sandman as well as in the back . read more
