About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Charming

The Queen Anne Victorian at 210 Savannah Road in Lewes, DE has stood tall for over 100 years. Built in 1899, Captain W. “Diver” Johnston at the age of 52 collaborated with his business partner (William H. Virden) to build a beautiful new house for him and his wife, Isabella. Records indicate that he paid $400 for the entire lot, one of the most prominent sites in downtown Lewes.Over the next 100 years, the Victorian structure built in the style of Eastlake, an English architect, served as a home for many families, including longtime Lewes Mayor, Otis Smith.

The team at Raas is proud to continue the story of the Queen Anne Victorian. Each chapter of the building’s history has added to its charm and we at Raas are excited for its next chapter.

CELEBRATION OF FOOD & CULTURE

Our team’s interpretation of the word "Raas" is a celebration of food and culture while showcasing the medicinal value of Indian cuisine.

This is such a friendly restaurant. The staff seemed genuinely happy to see us. The chef walked around checking on diners. Our waiter, Jonathon, was happy and attentive. I'm not always comfortable choosing Indian food, because I'm not familiar with the sauces, but the menu was clear and easy to navigate. My husband ordered lamb and I had cinnamon chicken curry, and we thought they were both delicious. While the atmosphere is welcoming, the restaurant still has an elevated atmosphere. I highly recommend Raas for a comfortable and lovely evening.

Raas was wonderful. The food was incredible. The manager was our personal guide and waiter. It was both my anniversary and birthday. They gave us complimentary champagne and birthday cake. The only thing I thought would add to the ambiance is to have authentic music playing.
