Unassuming exterior for good Indian cuisine. I loved the baignan bharta (mashed eggplant). The naan was good as well. We tried the mixed tandoori grill but the lamb was extremely tough and chicken was quite dry. The chicken saag was flavorful though.Service was polite and accommodating to us.

About a 4.5: Raaga offers a great daily lunch buffet, offering Indian and Nepali eats. They offer an extensive menu, which includes various apps, soups, tandoori specialties, seafood/chicken/lamb/vegetarian entrees, biryani, house dishes, sides, desserts, and drinks.Honestly, my prior experiences with Raaga had always been just okay - I never disliked the place, but I never really fully enjoyed the food, either.It seems as if either the management, or, specifically, the kitchen staff has changed, since the food they offer now is SO MUCH BETTER!The hubs and I came here for lunch to partake in their AYCE lunch buffet - the dishes included:+salad and dressings+potato balls+basmati rice+veg biryani+mix veg curry+yellow dal+palak paneer+mattar mushroom+chicken tikka kabab+butter chicken+and, kheer for dessertThe dishes were actually quite delicious! My favorites were the potato balls, the mattar mushroom, the chicken tikka kabab, and the butter chicken - all were so thick, creamy, and so flavorful!The hot naan that comes out was so buttery - it was soft and crispy at the same time, and amazing to scoop up the sauces with.Staff were very kind and friendly; used dishes were taken away promptly, and our water was frequently refilled.Definitely a great option if you're craving for some Indian/Nepali food; the buffet gives you a great variety, and everything was well-prepared and fresh.Plenty of parking in their private lot.+delicious lunch buffet+friendly & kind staff+ample parking in private lot

I was in this area to play golf. I was pretty hungry and came across this Indian restaurant while I was driving by. Initially I was very hesitant as I saw only a couple of cars parked outside the restaurant in their parking spot. I took a chance. I was greeted by a nice hostess who offered me any open seats to sit. I took a window seat right next to another group. This group was a group of young Hispanic boys. The way they kept doing stuff on their table looked sketchy. I will come back to their story soon. Biryani is one of my favorite dishes. It's flavored rice with any meat you want. I ordered lamb biryani as it was highly recommended by the server. They gave free pappad which was nice. Biryani was very delicious. Lots of amazing flavors and lots of meat. I definitely needed a to go container to take the rest home. Coming back to the 4 guys who were sitting next to me. While I was having my dinner, they received the check. Two of the boys walked out while the other two said they will pay in cash. The server walked away to give them some space. Remaining two quickly put some cash and walked out and I could see they jumped in the car and rushed away. When server came back and checked the payment, they had left only $20, but their bill was about $100. I did see them order a lot of stuff. I think they all had their entree and a couple of starters. I felt bad for the server. One advice is to collect the cash payment directly at the register to avoid such scenarios.

One of our family favorite restaurants in Falls Church. Staffs are very friendly, the place is clean and food is soooo good, great balance with curry favor, various spicy levels. Weekday price is $15**, weekend is $19** if I remember correctly, but it's totally worth it since they serve the lamb curry stew during weekend(maybe in different name) that is my favorite dish there.

The ambience/interior decorating and exterior patio could use a refresh, and that is the only reason that I took off one star. The service was friendly, and the food was amazing, succulent, slow cooked deliciousness! I had chicken saag and sweetie pie had curried chicken. The portions were generous, and, in a rare move, we took leftovers home because they were that good. I recommend!

I ate here for the first time last night with two other friends. I had the Dal Makhani. It was great! The service was great. The interior was fine (not sure why others have criticized it). My friends enjoyed their meals as well. We'll definitely go back again.

Raaga is consistently delicious, and it's become one of my go-to spots for Indian takeout food. The offerings are pretty standard for what to expect from a restaurant that caters to Indian and non-Indian clientele. I stick to classics like butter chicken, chana masala, and palak paneer. I tried goat, but it wasn't to my taste here. Definitely order some garlic naan. The takeout portions are good sized. I'd suggest ordering family style and planning to have yummy leftovers the next day.

Went for the buffet after an absence of about six years or so. We had stopped going because we felt the quality had gone down; however I must say it is back and it's a star. The food was delicious. The servers and chef were friendly. The ambience was nice, peaceful and clean. The tandoori naan was piping hot from the oven and tender, flavorful, nicely charred in spots, and brushed with a lovely touch of GHEE.
