Raaz Indian Cuisine

Paapadum costs $6 ..thats all you need to know..even in nyc at the most it will be $2 or complimentary..charging $6 is absurd..everything is pricey..food is ok to excellent..depends on what you order. Masala Chai to go is very convenient. I will rate it 3 stars..could have been 4 or 5 if not for absurd pricing.

Great food and great service thank you!

Just loved the food!!! Amazing food and very good service. Authentic indian food. Would go back in a heartbeat.

I was shooded from Raaz after purchasing a meal from them - they are greedy
I purchased a take out lunch from Raaz and expected to be able to eat on some of the metal tables outside. I was on Jersey City to meet some clients and could not easily go back to my office because it is in Manhattan. It was early lunch time 11:40 and I was the only client. Really, the restaurant was completely empty. I got my food and went outside.
While I was sat on one of the metal tables outside I was approached by the same lady that sold me the meal and I was notified that I was not allowed to stay because I had a take out order so I needed to find somewhere else to seat and eat.
I would understand to be asked to leave if I had not done business with them, but I had! I felt like a homeless being shooed! How do they treat a client like this?
I usually don't write reviews, but Raaz should be punished and learn that they are in business because of us, their customers! They are so money driven that without tip you cannot seat at their tables. I m concerned about the quality of ingredients they use to save money...
Ah, regarding the food. Even for the price I paid $9 I was disappointed. After being mistreated I at least would like to enjoy a good meal. It was 65% rice, the black lentil was tasteless, the chicken was good but was a very small portion. Again, money driven.

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.. BIG BIG NO .... Reviewed on 06/14/2015

Horrible food. It was sunny sunday afternoon 2 & being starved for long shopping session, my my tongue craving for Punjabi food. As soon i reached, i was surprised to being forced routed to Buffet. After long plea with rude manager (he was acting as the restro was his ancestral inheritance), i was warned to get the food after 20min which we (me & wife) agreed upon.
Being veg Ordered Paneer Kali Mirch and tandoori Naan which was intentionally delayed to 30min (as i rejected the buffet proposal).

Next surprise was Paneer Kali Mirchi was green curry thinner then gujrati dal with bits of piece of paneer and tasteless with no Punjabi masala ( I can say we you guys have roamed in Indian Railways, you might have tasted better taste food).
We complained to manager (he could not speak English) but after 10min of Hindi debate, he finally surrendered and asked me to choose a replacement.

To win the insane war, he got me paneer kadhai which to my surprise was vegetable bowl rinsed in tomato ketchup which he termed as gravy vegetable.

We didnt eat the food, donated 32$ to their charity (sorry but didn't pay any TIP as manager was my personal waiter).

My review might seem harsh but considering the quality & taste of food to amount i paid was insanely & i can say i have never been cheated in US on food quality /taste like this ever.

My rating for quality + taste of food is rating is -10 & rude manager is -100
Next time if i am starving in Newport mall, i would be more happy to feast even on subway.

Or rather drive to Indian street and eat a DOSA in worst case.

This place is still making bread -

1) Indian community in newport who are not aware of Indian street and lazy to drive or harsh winter climate
2) Indian people starving to death during lunch in nearby banks (JP etc)
3) People who havent tasted actual Indian food in India

WORST EXPERIENCE
