Raag Progressive Indian Cuisine

If you ever attended the Diwali Festival of Lights, then eating at Raag Restaurant would be a delightfully equivalent experience of enjoying a symphony of flavors of the haute Indian cuisine to be lovingly cherished in the Twin Cities! We started with the pleasant taste of freshly chilled mango lassi drinks while relishing on the perfectly grilled scallops & the slightly salty seawind-flavored Bhatti Ka (smoked) octopus appetizers. Followed by the Palak Paneer & the lamb rack with quinoa pilaf entrees, accompanied by the exquisitely cooked Jeera basmati rice & the mushroom truffle kulcha, our meals were so surprisingly delicious that we couldn’t help but to further indulge ourselves with the Paneer butter masala (:)), enhanced by a homemade hot sauce (especially requested on the side) to elevate our gastronomical experience to the next level of umami. Last but not least the incomparable service of our server Bruce exemplified the finest of Indian hospitality having to offer. May this precious treasure of refined authentic Indian cuisine last endlessly long into the happy future of Edina!

What a wonderful evening! I had family in from out of town and wanted to share a special treat with them. We had a lovely assortment of skewers and drinks for appetizers and several great dishes for the main meal. Special kudos to the chef for the shrimp/coconut sauce dish. That yellow sauce was the highlight by far. Wow! All agreed we would be back again soon. Thanks for the great night!

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!

First time at Raag tonight and it was excellent. I ordered the Kerala spiced cocktail and it arrived in a large cloche filled in smoke. The smoke was a bit overwhelming for a few seconds upon unveiling, but the cocktail was very nice. Balanced in sweetness and spice. For food I ordered the butter chicken and garlic naan. I ordered the chicken medium spiced and it was perfect, creamy with a nice amount of bite on the back end. The garlic naan was soft, flavorful, and wonderful in the sauce. Staff was very friendly and attentive while sitting at the bar. Highly recommended.

Raag did a full 2.0 relaunch, so if you visited before 10/21/23, it was a much different menu! The quality and fantastic atmosphere are the same, but I very much feel like the menu is improved (I was eating at Raag both before the relaunch and before the current owner). The best thing about Raag is that it is elevated, but accessible, Indian cuisine. There's no judgment if it's your first foray into Indian food, but there are plenty of delicious staple dishes and fun twists on classics if you're more familiar with the food. A great example is the makhani martini - it might be a little intense for a newbie, but I thought it was phenomenal. There's a great variety of family-style plates and dishes that are plated for one, but I always find I have the best time when I go with a group and we just order a variety and share. The drinks are also all phenomenal, and I always appreciate their commitment to tasty and fun non-alcoholic options. I would HIGHLY recommend their new brunch and happy hour menu -- the new happy hour butter chicken tacos are amazing. Their new brunch menu truly feels like the kind of menu that can handle both a fun girls' day brunch vibe while also satisfying a "I'm craving Indian food" itch. Until their new brunch menu, I never associated Indian food with brunch necessarily, but now I am itching to get a group of friends together so we can go and all sip some drinks and share some dishes and eat more of the amazing red velvet cake. Whether you've got a first date, want to impress a work crew at happy hour, or just want to relax and eat phenomenal food, Raag is the place. They have found a way to balance elevated cuisine with the experience of being a regular where the owner knows your name and greets you with postitive energy and spot-on recommendations. This is truly a unique, exceptional restaurant.

I have been to Raag's several times and I have never been disappointed, especially when we have gone for a buffet. Today we went for the Diwali Bazaar and buffet. The bazaar was fun and I was able to buy some Christmas presents. The food was great. The spices are so well balanced in every dish. I am eating vegetarian and it is so easy to find lots of dishes I can eat. What I especially like is that I can expect to have really good food and service each time I go. As you can tell, I love this restaurant.

Shared a Thanksgiving meal here with my family of four and we had an amazing experience! Dishes were served beautifully and full of flavor, drinks were tasty and also presented well. All around great and we will plan to come again!

The food was fine, the atmosphere was fine. I was rather underwhelmed to be honest. I expected so much more but was let down because everything was just fine. The taste palate is not catered to Indians and it is more for other ethnicities. Chutney is called sauce and there is no dish that is actually spicy on the menu. This is definitely not an authentic Indian experience and is more a western version of indian food. The portion sizes were smaller than usual as well.

When you think of Indian food, it's easy to picture the usual hole-in-the-wall or run-of-the-mill restaurants. But this place breaks the mold, breathing new life into Indian cuisine with a distinctly American twist. I'd call it Indian fusion, or perhaps "Indusin." The flavors, spices, and heat are perfectly calibrated for the Minnesotan palate, delivering just the right balance. What's truly impressive is the consistency--they've nailed the preparation every time. To elevate the experience further, they've infused a touch of Michelin-style presentation into their dishes, making each plate as visually appealing as it is delicious. The meat is always tender and served in perfect bite-sized portions, enhancing the overall dining experience. If you're looking to be transported to a world of flavor and spice, this is a restaurant that should be on your must-try list.

Raag in Minneapolis is the perfect cozy spot for a fall or winter date night. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a charming fireplace that makes you feel right at home from the moment you step inside. The staff here is incredibly kind and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that adds to the overall experience. For starters, I tried the traditional samosas, which were hot, crispy, and paired with a tangy tamarind sauce. It was the kind of comfort food that feels like a warm hug. The pani puri was a delightful surprise with five different flavors, each one refreshing and bursting with flavor--definitely a fun twist on the classic! For the main course, I went with the Delhi Butter Chicken, which came with fragrant rice and soft, buttery garlic naan. The butter chicken was packed with spices and had that perfect creamy texture that made every bite feel indulgent. Honestly, it might just be one of the best butter chickens in the Twin Cities. My only very minor complaint would be the portion of chicken in the butter chicken. At $21, I was hoping for a bit more, though the flavor and overall experience more than made up for it. In the end, Raag has a winning combination of delicious food and an inviting atmosphere. I'd happily return again and again--this place is a true gem. Highly recommend!

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.

Raag is a fantastic spot for authentic Indian cuisine in Minneapolis. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff is attentive and friendly. I tried the lamb rack with quinoa, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly spiced and beautifully presented. RAAG strikes a wonderful balance between traditional Indian dishes and a modern dining experience. Highly recommend it for a memorable meal!

Great service and food! The ambiance was modern and the presentation of dishes was artistic

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!

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!

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!

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.

The server was so attentive to detail, my glass was never empty!! The food came prepared so fast! I felt so appreciated as a customer. Now Oh my goodness the sauce on the lamb chops were so flavorful!! I will definitely be back again! I love this place!

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.

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

Excellent Indian food in the cities. We tried the lamb keema pav, palak paneer, dal, and lamb rogangosh. All were excellent. The service is great and the ambiance is great for a night out.

Dosas , sambhar and chutneys were amazing. The Schezuan indo-chinese dosa was too oily and spicy and it upset my stomach. The Ghee Podi and Potato Masala were good but my favorite was ghee podi. They only serve dosas on weekends. Nice ambiance and great service.

Highly recommended. Wonderful taste. Beautiful food. Attentive service. This place presses the yummy button!

We did not make a reservation but were able to find a nice high top spot in the bar. Service was a bit slow and the waitress was not extremely knowledgeable about the menu but the food was great! Everything came out in a timely manner and was perfect!

An all-around fantastic experience. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the ambiance was perfect. I'll definitely be back.

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.

Beautiful contemporary setting with excellent service and food. Parking too. Recently took a guest to their special Independence Day brunch buffet and we all were extremely pleased with the interesting variety and quality of everything . It was a great chance to to try some special items plus menu standards. Highly recommend this restaurant for a special meal. Sound level is also pleasantly calm for talking.

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.

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.

The mushroom naan is very delicious. Great service. I randomly tried different dishes and they all taste good.

I had a repeat visit last month and the experience was extremely compelling with small really good improvements on the menu. Fantastic food overall as before and had a great time with a small group. Fusion drinks left quite an impression as well traditional Indian taste very nicely done. Service was quite improved since my past visit in 2023 and noticeable. Raag overall pleasantly surprised the group I came with even the Minneapolis locals who were discovering Raag for the first time and made a great impression. Appetizers like haryali tikki, jal tarang(golgappe), scallops, blackened chicken were very liked. Main course popular on our table included paneer tomatillo, butter chicken, fig kofta and a fantastic well done Daal malhar. I am a vegetarian and Raag remains my favorite go to Indian restaurant in Minneapolis. 5* and highly recommend. Few very small things on ambience, experience and it's definitely getting worthy of Michelin mention.

Food: very good. Any of the yellow sauces (curry or not) were the absolute best. Drinks: mostly good Recommend sharing dishes to try more! Service was very attentive.

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!

We visited this place with some friends who are Indian. The food was fantastic! The service was great! We definitely hope To return soon!!

This fine dining Indian cuisine has been on my list to try for quite sometime . I would recommend making a reservation before arriving . The service was a little slow , but once things got started , the server was very helpful with recommendations and suggestions. They start you out with a beautiful dish that creates smoke, and this is supposed to "awaken your senses " I tried the Peru Blush, which is one of their signature cocktails . This drink had Vodka, Guava Juice, Ginger Ale, Lime Juice, Angostura Bitters, Curry Leaves. Wow, im still thinking about this drink, because it was so so different . The first sip tastes like egg and then fades in to a light fruit flavor . This drink will not be for everyone , but I really liked it . We started with the tandoor grilled scallops . The presentation is beautiful . I am a huge fan of scallops and these were good but not my favorite . I wish the scallops were a little crisp on the edges . There is a nice citrus flavor , I feel the watermelon caviar gets lost , but the sauce is a treat . Four our main dish we did the butter chicken which is listed as a "sharing main." If we didn't have a starter, and bread I feel like sharing this dish would not be suitable for more than one . On another note probably the best butter chicken I have had . We got the "spicy " for spice level, if you can't handle spice definitely pick a different option . The sauce was a beautiful color and the spice was perfect for me , the chicken was very tender and delicious , and the rice was very light and cooked to perfection. The wild mushroom and truffle stuffed naan was a SHOW STOPPER . Perfection . My mouth is watering talking about it . 100 percent get this . For dessert we had Shahi Tukda (Royal Bite) New Dish: Reinvented Royal dessert of kings, fried bread is topped with cream, saffron, reduced milk & nuts. For a dessert it wasn't too sweet and fried bread was done so well . If you like a sweet dessert this isn't for you . The cream I could put on top of any sweet treat, it was a delight . Overall I would recommend Raag and I will definitely be coming back .

Fine dining for Indian food is rare to find in USA. This place has the whole fine dining experience and the food is so finger-licking good!!!! The severs will help you order based on your taste preferences. The food presentation is beautiful, servings are large enough and flavors are on the spot. The interiors of the restaurant are beautiful and tastefully done.

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.

The food, drinks and ambience are excellent here. We have been here several times and have always had a good time. It's our favorite Indian restaurant in the metropolitan area.

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.

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

The menu is consistently delicious, the food is fresh, the service is lovely. One of my favorite spots in Minneapolis.

Raag is a fancy, mostly North Indian restaurant serving "progressive Indian" cuisine, whatever that means. It has a couple labeled vegan options but the food is underwhelming. I've been to Raag twice and was unimpressed both times. The street style Delhi samosas ($8 for 2) are fine but nothing special. The chutney glazed potatoes ($14) are vegan by default and not terribly well-executed. The flavors are sour and sticky with a mushy potato bite (despite the menu saying the dish would be crispy). The tofu kedegree ($18) is one of only 2 labeled vegan main dishes and not particularly good. I've learned a lesson the hard way over many years: Indian restaurants don't know how to cook tofu. I say this as a piece of tough love, as an Indian myself, and a longtime vegan who has eaten a lot of great tofu elsewhere. This dish was a couple bites of lightly-sauteed tofu sitting on top of 1 pound of rice, with a moat of decent-tasting curry. But the dish doesn't come together and consists almost entirely of empty carbohydrates. The Tandoor plain roti ($5) is one of two vegan breads (the other being a multi-grain roti) and perfectly fine but not different than what you'd get at an Indian restaurant in a stripmall in the suburbs. I did like my cocktail, though. And the live music was nice. Given the lack of vegan options and the mixed quality of the food, I can't recommend Raag highly. If you want better North Indian food, go to Hyderabad Grill in Bloomington. If you want more delicate and unusual flavors, go to Gorkha Palace in Northeast Minneapolis (it's a Nepalese restaurant, but has similar ingredients to North Indian food).

I was suggested to try this restaurant at the behest of another Yelp user, as part of my exploration of the Twin Cities Indian food scene. I had been putting it off due to the menu having prices that are a little high for my budget, waiting for a special occasion to present itself to justify the indulgence of dining at such an opulent establishment. Eventually my birthday came around, so I took the jump and booked a table for myself and my girlfriend. After finally dining at Raag, I can't help but feel a little deflated, like the bread lid on my biryani after it cooled down. I feel like I have to give full disclosure when discussing my experience, that I was not in a good mood during my birthday dinner. Perhaps we had already been too excessive with the amount of food and drink consumed that day, but the aura at my table was not at all celebratory but in fact quite tense. I shall try my best not to let this cloud my objective experience at Raag, however. The restaurant is bright and modern, and it had a lovely hearth in which a fire was burning. It wasn't quite fancy in the way I expected, but it was nicer than your average Indian restaurant. The servers were polite. Unfortunately the vibe at my table was not improved by the food. As an appetizer, we had the jal tarang, which I suppose is the restaurant's name for panipuri. The hollow crisps are filled with a mixture of vegetables and grains and served atop shot glasses of flavored water, which is to be poured into the crisp and eaten in one mouthful. I usually love the burst of flavor and texture you get from panipuri, hence why I ordered it, but I really didn't like this version. The crisps were much too large, and I almost choked twice on them due to there being so much liquid in each one. The liquid was very sweet, like grape kool-aid. When I have had panipuri in the past, the liquid was more complexly flavored and not so cloyingly sweet, and the smaller size of each panipuri was more manageable in the mouth and less of a choking hazard. I felt a bit unwell after starting the meal with this. For the main course we ordered two curries, the vegetable and fig kofta and butter chicken, as well as the chicken biryani. The presentation was very beautiful, with care taken to the placement of each ingredient in the dish. The vegetable and fig kofta wasn't as delicious as it looked, however, tasting a bit sour, almost like Campbell's tomato soup. The butter chicken was solid, but frankly no better than any other Indian restaurant where it costs half the price. The chicken biryani was ultimately my favorite dish, served in a pot that had a layer of flatbread baked onto the top of it, like an inflated lid. It was tasty, but perhaps a little more one-note than the biryani I had at Godavari in Eden Prairie, for example. I could probably warrant four stars for this restaurant if it weren't so expensive. I feel I was misled by the high pricing (and that Yelper who suggested it, damn you!) to believe I would have a very luxurious meal at Raag. If you can see past the pretty plating, you might feel the same way. In the end, the food at Raag was just not exceptional enough to make me forget my joyless birthday dinner. With this sad memory in mind, I will likely not return.

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!

The best of indian food by far. Ambience is warm n welcoming. Staff knowledgeable n helpful. Excellent crafted cocktails. I fell head over heels for the makhani martini. Food is a feast for eyes n pallet. Their new additions is a must try. Ordered watermelon soup. A perfect balance of ingredients. The flavour kept developing as I relished it to d last drop. The octopus is a marvel. A combination to die for. The katsuzi Lamb chops was so tender melt in d mouth. Smokiness of d dish elevated the experience. The Gucci edamame curry dazzled me as it was vegan but equally delicious. Never had I experienced a vegan curry so creamy n flavorful. Finally we tried their new dessert selection...Coconut phirni...oh u have to try it. All I can say thank you guys for doing an awesome job.

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!

A dinner experience to be remembered There doesn't seem to be a strict dress code but the vibes are a little fancier than a usual Indian restaurant. They start with setting a bowl of dry ice?/spices on your table for a cool effect. We ordered a variety of dishes: Blackened Chicken Tandoori Sabudana (Sago Bean) Fritters Butter Chicken Hudson Bay Shrimp Moilee Dal Raag Malhar Lentil The Great Indian Crisp Board w/ assorted sauces Pears Bomb With Vanilla Ice Cream Gulab Jamun Cheesecake Cocktails: Asian Superstar Neel Gagan Peru Blush For 4 people, the cost turned out to be ~$50 after tax and tip per person. I would say this is really good pricing for presentation, portions, and flavor.

Love Raag! Raag is one of the few restaurants in MN we really enjoyed and will go back frequently. The food/drink was very delicious and pretty, service was so warm and friendly, and the exotic culture vibe was so fun!

My wife and I were prowling 50th & France for lunch and stumbled upon Raag. First off, the space is beautiful. It feels modern and high-end, not something I expected in this neighborhood. Second, although it seems like a pricey place, they have a good lunch menu. We had the tandoor chicken naan wrap and the tikka flatbread. Both were excellent, but I think we agreed that the tandoor wrap was the best. The service was very good and prompt, perfect for lunch. I would like to come back for dinner soon as the drink list and dessert menu both look fantastic!

I visited Raag when it first opened up and was excited by the idea of an upscale Indian fusion restaurant. While they did a good job with the ambiance and decor, when it came to the food, they really missed. While most of the dishes were fair nothing stood out. And when we ordered the lamb chops, they were under cooked. Haven't been there since. Granted they had recently opened and may be going through initial obstacles, I was expecting better. I have heard good things since and I might give it another try. If I do and have a better experience, will update this review.

We keep coming back for some great Indian food. The flavors, the presentation and the freshness of food are amazing and a different league than most of other places. We will be back again.

I just stopped in for lunch but I was stunned! The interior is beautifully decorated and sets an amazing vibe. The food was also incredible and I am already planning on coming back with a group for dinner. It wasn't very busy so the severs were extra attentive and you could tell highly trained.

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!

Went here for dinner with my parents. We got a bunch of small plates and a couple cocktails. We shared everything. The food was quite good, everything made fresh. The environment was very hip with blue vibes everywhere. The portion sizes were a bit small considering what you paid but overall it was very tasty. The service was attentive as well.

James at the bar, the best! The owner is always there, friendly and helpful! Food is homemade and excellent!!!

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.

One of our favorite restaurants ever! Visited this place multiple times and tried many dishes over time... never disappointed on the taste or service... we recommend it to all our friends... Food is so flavorful, you'd leaving thinking to visit again and try some more... Their Nargeesi kofta is a must try for anyone visiting for the first time...
