Cafe Raj

Cafe Raj: North Indian and Pakistani Cuisine

Ate here back on March 31, right after my dentist appointment. Mom took Oliver, Samuel and I out to lunch here.

I had been wanting to try Cafe Raj because anytime we have gone past it, especially on the weekends, it has always looked packed--which of course is an excellent sign that the food is good.

We went for lunch so it didn't seem very busy, though we did wait quite a while for our food. The atmosphere is casual. The servers were all very nice. In fact our waitress came over to Oliver, squatted down so she was face to face with him and had a little conversation with him--it was very cute. So, it's a comfortable place. Also, it is clearly authentic as everyone working there is Indian and all the voices come from the kitchen were Indian sounding.

I ordered the Chicken Tika Masala. This is the first time I have ever had this dish and I didn't really like it that much. I do not know if my not liking it very much is due to the way it was prepared by this establishment or just that I don't really like this particular dish. I also ordered it mild and there was no heat as far as I could tell, so next time definitely need to get medium. Mom had some sort of mushroom curry, which I did not get to try as Samuel was very unhappy and I had to walk home with him. I got to take about four bites of my food before leaving. Overall it was not a good dining experience but that was entirely Samuel's fault. Mom really liked her mushroom curry though. The next time she was over here she wanted to go again.
The Naan bread was very tasty.

Definitely need to try this place again. But from this first time eating there I would say it's good but not as good as Bombay House in Provo.
