    Outside of India Cafe

    Food is good. The location is tucked in a strip mall next to a drugstore. It's got a huge pillar blocking the front of the store so you can barely see it except for the sign. Windows are all covered with signage of menus and specials so do not expect a lot of sunlight in this restaurant. I got the paper dosa which is measured at 2.5 ft. It's essentially a south indian style crepe with potato masala, coconut chutney and a soup on the side. For $9.99 this is a great deal and easily shareable with friends and family. I would say the cook time is a bit slow, just for a simple paper dosa took 20 minutes to make when the restaurant was completely empty so just be aware of that. Lots of free parking. The staff could definitely be happier/more enthusiastic. I've been here three times and they do not seem that helpful navigating the massive indian food menu.

    Ok, this place is so amazingly delicious that it took me a very long time to come write a review simply because I am afraid it will become popular and no longer be free of waits. For starters, it's a family busy and they are extremely nice people. Then comes the food. I have tried more than half of the menu, and my recommendations are: lentil soup for appetizer; masala dosa and the sambar are honestly the best in town; butter chicken and chicken tikka masala; and of course plain naan bread. Before coming here I thought the chicken tikka masala at Ghandi Mahal was the best in town, but this is way better!!!!!!! Don't be scared about the location and outside of the place, it is truly friendly. The portion size here is universal size, NOT American size, meaning it's plenty for one. This place is so authentic they even have Thumbs Up!!!!!!!!

    What a pleasant surprise! When you walk into this place it seems a little underwhelming, its small (maybe 10 tables) and there are two buffet stations about four feet long but wow! does the food pack a punch. Tons of flavor in all items that i tried and some dishes were even pretty spicy, which i can never get enough of. The chicken curry was super tender and the meat was falling right off the bone. The masala was perfectly creamy. I also loved the chicken soup, which cleared my sinus' it was so zesty! The employees were polite and brought fresh naan to the table which was nice. I will definitely be back, ive paid a heck of a lot more downtown for food of equal caliber. Ill take an affordable hole in the wall over decor any day.

    Does this look like $35.00 worth? I sure don't think so.

    I have given this place two chances to deliver. Both times they screwed it up. They don't check their online orders. I figured that out the first time, after waiting 90 minutes. This time I called immediately after I placed the order, they said they didn't get it, but never bothered to actually check. Once they checked, LP and behold my order was pending. After 50 minute wait, my phone rang...I'm in a condo, so fully expected delivery to my door. Nope. The guy delivering had kids in the car and couldn't leave them. Don't bother. What I got cost me $35.00. Anywhere else it would have been $20. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Not getting a third chance.

    Food is quite tasty. The restaurant is located in the same mall as Kabob place. But the decor and ambience of restaurant is quite bad.The restaurant is small and is blocked by a pillar.It was quite dirty. Customer service was pathetic. I instantly regretted it after entering but still gave it a chance. Have to say the food was really quite tasty. I would have rated it 5 stars if not for the decor and service. I had to ask for water couple of times before it was served. Restaurant was quite empty but the used plates were not even picked up from the table. The Buffet was quite cheap in price, But I felt the quality of food was quite good. I might give it a try and order delivery to see how they fare because of their food. But certainly not going back.

    Delightful vegetarian and meat dishes.

    I have been to many MN restaurants but this one blew me away!! I was in the mood for some curry and…read morecame across this restaurant. I had the chicken Chettinad and it was a great portion size with the perfect amount of spice/flavor combo. The garlic naan was to die for. Our server was also very attentive and professional. He was able to answer all of our questions and was very kind. I will be visiting many more times in the future! Vibes of the place were super chill yet also felt elevated.

    We popped into Raag during the Edina Art Fair, so the whole area was already a bit chaotic. Inside,…read morethe food came out quickly and our server was absolutely great, but the front of the house was a bit of a different story. The young host was running around looking very flustered, which made the vibe feel way more chaotic. Thankfully, it looked like the owner noticed and helped take over organizing the staff and getting guests arranged at tables. We noticed they have a really fun cafe setup called The Corner Café with its own window in the corner. It was closed when we were there, but it turns out they actually operate as a full-service artisan coffee shop during the morning and afternoon, serving Spyhouse coffee and pastries before shifting entirely to fine dining at night! For dinner, my husband ordered the sticky cauliflower as an appetizer and declared it "the best cauliflower 'chicken' bites he's ever had"--he also absolutely loved the white sauce it came with. He also got the mango yuzu drink which was super refreshing. For entrees, we ordered the coconut curry, which had a great flavor and wasn't overly sweet (which can sometimes happen when a kitchen overdoes the coconut milk). I ordered the Delhi butter chicken. The waiter mentioned that their spice scale is a "Minnesota spice" scale, so I felt safe upgrading to medium since I usually order mild. Flavor-wise, it had a bit too much tomato flavor for my personal preference, but it was still well prepared and the pieces of chicken had a lovely, smoky flavor.
