The Scene
Unpolished but cozy, with red walls, arty sconces and deep, comfortable booths, Raga calls little attention to itself. There's a downstairs room for parties or busy nights. The service is casual and skillful; servers are able to discuss the restaurant's well-chosen wines and beers at length.

The Food
Raga does a brilliant job with Indian fusion dishes as simple as vegetable curry or as ambitious as pan-roasted lamb sirloin with cranberry beans and nigella ragout. Nigella seeds also scent the otherwise conventional roasted potatoes, which typifies the restaurant's inventive, yet solid, approach. Across the menu, and even within a single dish, there is a stunning variety of scintillating, distinct flavors. Mussels in deeply aromatic lemongrass broth make an excellent starter, as do the light and spicy house samosas. Keep an eye out for safari-esque specials featuring wild boar, alligator and the like.

Went there last Saturday only to find that"Death & Co" bar had taken its place-ended up having a drink there though which was good

i became acquainted with this restaurant a few years ago and always make it a point to take someone new there each time i go. i've had my birthday dinner there, i've taken my dad there when he came into town from FL, i've taken my friend who was visiting from san fran there and i'll probably have my anniversary dinner there next month. their red wine reduction sauce on the filet mignon is just to die for, as are the samosas. i've also been known to down a few raga-ritas in my time (or were they raga-tinis?). whatever they were, they sure get the job done!

Raga is perfect in everyway! My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this restaurant on a lazy Sunday evening and I am so glad we did!. Raga is a cozy little place, with great music and the staff couldnt be nicer. However the real standout is the food ! We took our waiters suggestions to order the wild boar with coconut rice and the lamb chops. WOW! They were both amazing. The way the Indian and French styles meld together is perfect. The meat was sooo tender and tasty, best lamb I have ever had in any restaurant by far. The Indian spices give everything a unique and tantalizing flavor. Try the Naan bread with mango chutney. Give Raga a try you wont be disappointed.
