"Raas is a beautiful Indian restaurant in a restored Victorian house in downtown Lewes, Delaware. The ambience is excellent and there is a veranda that offers outside the restaurant. Each interior has a socket for charging phones, etc., which is convenient. Only my wife and I fed Raas tonight. We started with drinks - she had a spicy mango margarita that was definitely spicy and I had a 1947 beer (wish they had more Indian beers). For an appetizer we had the Cauliflower Manchurian, who were Spcy Fritte with a dipping sauce - delicious, but don't order this dish if you can't treat hot. For dinner I had the deconstructed Pork Vindaloo and my wife had the Lamb Shank roganjosh. Both dishes were well presented. The lambry is served in a small bucket of sauce, which makes it a little chaotic to get to your plate - you have to take it quite a lot with your hands. I was in Indian restaurants where you eat with your hands, but I don't think they thought this as a hand-on experience. The Roganjosh sauce itself was just OK. Light glands. The Vindaloo was also bland. The pig was perfectly cooked, but pork pliers are very bland on their own, and the deconstructed preparation means that the pig does not boil in the sauce and does not absorb any taste. The Vindaloo sauce simply did not serve the pork roast on the side. I applauded her genuity, but the taste simply lacked. Overall for the three dishes, two drinks and an order of butter naan was $120 in front of top. We will definitely go back to Raas, but would not get back from these ducks. We will definitely get the Cauliflower Manchurian back. There are many vegan options on the menu, so we will visit again in the summer when our vegan family and friends are in town will update my review after I tried other entrees."
