EAT IN - TAKE OUT “Best in the City.”

Kathy Tait, The Province

Classic East Indian Cuisine

When the Raga opened in 1981, it set the standard for all other East Indian restaurants in Vancouver, offering world-class classic North Indian cuisine. The menu designed by Indira Gandhi’s chef Kopotra, features more than one hundred dishes.

Over the years, the Raga has played host to many people, including Ravi Shankar, Mel Gibson, Tina Turner and Bryan Adams, to name a few.

All the servers, many of whom have been there more than twenty years, are able to explain the intracacies of the menu, especially for those customers who have food allergies.

The Raga “Serves food fit for the legendry Mughal emperors. Raga’s charcoal-fired tandoor produces luxuriously tender meat. Chicken is unbelievably juicy, prawns are plump and tender. Light curries allow the spices to sing - this is why you fell for Indian food in the first place.

Many vegetarian options are available.”

(Vancouver Magazine April, 2008)

ABOUT VANCOUVER Vancouver is the largest city in the province of British Columbia and the third largest city in Canada. It’s surrounded by water on three sides and is nestled alongside the Coast Mountain Range. Vancouver is home to spectacular natural scenery and a bustling metropolitan core, and boasts one of the mildest climates in Canada.

Vancouver is Host City of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

It is one of the world’s most beautiful cities and also one of its most livable cities. It is renowned for being innovative and on leading edge of ideas. And it is recognized as a leader in the areas of sustainability and accessibility/inclusivity.
