Raja Fine Cuisine - Belmont Village - (I grew up just blocks from this strip and it has changed a lot except for John's Submarines and TD Bank)
I went for dinner with my son to the Raja Fine Indian Cuisine restaurant on Friday (January 23). It was a very relaxing and enjoyable dinner with attentive wait staff.
We ate a la carte from the menu with very traditional foods listed and served. The food was very tasty but not as spicy as I had hoped for.
Our appetizers were vegetable pakoras and I enjoyed the Mulligatawny soup. We shared the Chicken Tika Masala which was very tasty but we both like a little more kick. We also shared the Aloo Gobhi which was amazing. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the cauliflower was not over cooked with a wonderful curry sauce. Two different rice dishes added to the aforementioned. All in before the tip the bill was $83 which is expected in a fine dining restaurant.
As the non-driver I enjoyed a very fresh mango martini at $11.
Final comment: it was Friday night and the place was full after 7:00 p.m. but no waiting, about 30-35 persons, most of them overheard to be full of themselves university profs and significant others (that was the only regret of the evening ... listening to them blah, blah blah as I must listen to their ilk all day). We will be going back soon to have them kick the spice and curry up a notch.
Cheers,
William
P.S. Two fo the three tables near us, which included ours, were rocking like cafeteria tables. Hopefully they can adjust the feet of these tables to approximate the level or lack of level of the floor.
