The Queen Anne Victorian at 210 Savannah Road in Lewes, DE has stood tall for over 100 years. Built in 1899, Captain W. “Diver” Johnston at the age of 52 collaborated with his business partner (William H. Virden) to build a beautiful new house for him and his wife, Isabella. Records indicate that he paid $400 for the entire lot, one of the most prominent sites in downtown Lewes.Over the next 100 years, the Victorian structure built in the style of Eastlake, an English architect, served as a home for many families, including longtime Lewes Mayor, Otis Smith.

The team at Raas is proud to continue the story of the Queen Anne Victorian. Each chapter of the building’s history has added to its charm and we at Raas are excited for its next chapter.

CELEBRATION OF FOOD & CULTURE

Our team’s interpretation of the word "Raas" is a celebration of food and culture while showcasing the medicinal value of Indian cuisine.

    We had the best dinner at Raas last night! Everything from cocktails to apps/small plates to dinner itself was amazing! We ordered lots of starters for the table- the swordfish tikka with green mango chutney, tandoori scallops & prawns, and cauliflower fritters w/ coriander. All delicious and could have been a meal in and of themselves. For dinner we ordered both salmon dishes- tandoori and curry plus GG's Dum Biryani with lamb. Everything was so flavorful and just delightful. Everything on the menu was tempting but we had great suggestions from our server. A little expensive but certainly perfect for a special occasion. Well done Raas!!!

    One again, Raas knocked it out of the park with every element of our experience! They were accommodating when our reservation changed. We were greeted and seated promptly upon arrival. Our server immediately started with our drink order and the cocktails were tasty as usual. Selection is also good. Appetizers are large enough to share with a friend or two. Entrees arrived with good timing and were enjoyed by all 7 of us. Everyone took home leftovers. If you don’t order extra chili cheese garlic Naan, you have made a huge mistake. The best! Will be back very soon!

    We had a fantastic dinner and drinks at Raas. Our server Lynsey was very attentive and helpful. We got the staple chicken tikka masala and deconstructed pork vindaloo, which was delicious. The butter naan is fantastic. Owner GiGi gave us an amazing history lesson about how he has trained as a chef and how he takes pride in his craft.

    Incredibly fabulous experience! Only 2nd time having Pan Asian and we were all blown away! Kate our server was knowledgeable in all & guided us with choices to handle a taste of so many!!! From the Naan, to the Tandori Prawns, Masala, Rosemary Pork and more! Each dish unique in it’s flavor. Dessert was just as special with their house Bread Pudding & Chocolate Mousse . Atmosphere was lovely as well. We look forward to many more visits & experiences @ RAAS

    What an exceptional restaurant. I would say Best in Delaware for sure. The food is exquisite, so flavorful and so many great choices, the service is the best (waving at Lauren and Wayne), and the restaurant is beautifully decorated and the vibe is so welcoming and fun. GG, the Executive Chef and Owner, made us so welcome. For me, as a person with food allergies, I was so well taken care of with the best and tastiest meals I've had in years. So good that we came back 3 nights in a row.

    The folks here were very nice. The ambience, besides the music, was very nice as well. Unfortunately that’s the best I can say. The food was fair at best and not good value for the price. We got the tasting menu which included a tasting of very basic and common Indian dishes. There were 7 small dishes - a fish tikka or hara bhara kabob (vegetarian option), couple pieces of lamb rogan josh, couple bites of chicken tikka masala, lentils in a sauce, saag paneer kofta, tawa vegetables, and gulab jamun (dessert). There was also a small serving of rice, laccha paratha (plain Indian bread) and a small glass of mango lassi. Across the board all of the proteins were overcooked. The paneer was house-made but not very enjoyable nor was the sauce. The tawa vegetables were very tasty, the best of the dishes. We ordered garlic naan which was also good. The mango lassi was very nice, but it was overwhelmed with ice; it should only have a couple of ice cubes to keep it chilled. All in all, I will not return.

    Food is bland, bland,bland. So disappointed. The presentation of each dish is beautiful but the taste is horribly bland. Most run of the mill Indian restaurants in DC are far tastier than the food here and for half the price. If you’re at the beach and want to scratch the itch for Indian flavors this might hit the spot but be prepared to pay through the nose. We had the spinach saag, pork vindaloo, duck korma; all bland. The Chana masala was bland and mushy. The cauliflower was way over salted. The naan was very good on a bright note.
