- - Raja's changed management in 2005. The old signs read "Raja Indian Cuisine", but the new signs (and ["California Aggie" Aggie] ads) read "Raja's Indian Cuisine". The previous owners had some online coupons. Even though they expired in 2006, they still exist on [http://www.greatcaliforniarestaurants.com/sacramento/rajaindiancuisine/coupons.html this website], which was created by the previous owners and is out of date. Also, [http://www.daviscouponsonline.com/ daviscouponsonline.com] apparently carried unauthorized coupons more recently, to the consternation of the owner and patrons alike.

The owner, who is almost always present has to be one of the most agreeable people I've ever met. He is always welcoming to the guests, and sets the gold standard for graciousness. Great food and great service, what a winning combination! --["Users/BarryHubbard"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-10-29 12:30:34'' [[nbsp]] It's nice to go into a restaurant, be greeted with a handshake by the owner, and then asked at least once during the meal if everything is OK. I agree with the sentiment that the owner is one of the nicest fellows around. I ran into his son, who has been known to run the restaurant's Farmers' Market booth, and he mentioned that lots of folks praise his father and his kindness. The food itself is tasty and sufficiently fresh during the lunch buffet and when one considers the price, it is an incredible bargain. I have also visited on a weekend evening when south Indian items like dosas are available. It's rare enough to find the south Indian cuisine offered, so I was happy to have the opportunity. Well worth going back any time. Oh, the lassi glasses are absolutely huge. --["Users/ChrisV"]

The spice is just right…not too spicy but loaded with flavor. The food is always fresh, delicious and amazing. I drive all the way from Sacramento to have lunch at Raja’s. The service it out of this world! The owner will personally visit your table to make sure your visit is satisfactory. Words cannot begin to share how wonderful Raja’s restaurant is…you must try it to believe! --["Users/KristaMarie"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-10-24 01:41:48'' [[nbsp]] I absolutely love eating at Raja's! I've only been here for their lunch buffets and yes, the menu is limited BUT everything is delicious and well worth the amazing $7.95 price. They always have different types of curries, tandoori chicken, as well as lots of tasty vegetables dishes. (Did I mention this place is super vegetarian/vegan friendly?) Their curries are just PERFECT. Not bland and not too overwhelming in spice..perfect. One of the favorites is the spinach that they cook with home-made cheese... sort of like creamed spinach but better! Their naan is always fresh. They have amazing sauces (try the yogurt sauce and tamarind sauce..mMmm) to complement their dishes. Their sweet rice pudding is AMAZING and not heavy in cream, it tops off the meal just right. I have no complaints about Raja's! + + I love eating here because the atmosphere is so casual and warm, it feels as if I'm eating at a family member's house. There is no overwhelming decor but it's ok because it's all about the food here, and boy are they good at it. If you go on a nice day, sit outside on the porch :) + + There is one other factor, besides the food, that will keep me coming back. The sweet old man, I believe his name is Taranbir, that owns the restaurant! He is super warm and inviting and never fails to greet you with a huge smile and always goes out of his way to ensure that everyone is enjoying their meal. He just might be the nicest man in the world. For some raeson, restaurants in Davis always seem to be lacking in the service department. However, I can honestly say Raja's has THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE in all of Davis. I highly recommend Raja's. EXCELLENT Indian food, great value, and amazing service to boot. --["Users/TingLi"]

He contributed to the Sacto zine symposium, remembered my name after years of not going to rajas, and is warm and kind to everybody. Vegetarians delight at his myriad of tasty and sultry curries, along with a generous portion of naan served by the man himself. Lunch buffet still slays me everytime I go, they have only honed their beloved craft of indian cooking over the years. --["Users/oxnardmalfoy"]

Maybe it was because I was the only girl there, he seemed to direct all the questions to me, like he really wanted to cater to me. I got the Shahi Paneer (I love paneer!) and it was really good. My boyfriend got the Chicken Masala and it was good too; big chunks of chicken. A word of advice though, don't underestimate what "spicy spicy spicy" means.... it means spicy. Like nose-dripping spicy. But all in all, very, very good food. --["Users/KaprilWooley"]

I don't know if he has ever taken a day off but he is one of the nicest people I have ever met and every time I go there he greets me (and everyone else I'm not special its just how he is) at my table. The buffet is delicious I wish I had time to go more often. --["Users/Kagek"]

The food was excellent and the service very attentive and cheerful.Very quiet, no loud music, no traffic noise, no flies, mosquitoes or yellow jackets, no loud patrons. Maybe this was more about what wasn't than what was. Anyway my wife said it was her most enjoyable dining out experience in 30 years. + Brian --["Users/brian1127"]

They gave us these tortilla chip kind of things for appetizer which I didn't really like, they weren't bad, but there was something herby about them that I didn't really like, but I ate them nevertheless. The samosa appetizer was two huge samosas. they were soooo good. I recommend them. They're filled with potato. The chicken samosas were about 6 dumplings which were reallly good too. + + And like everyone else says, the owner is adorable. When I was paying for my meal he was going to let me pay 22 cents instead of 33 when I made a mistake when I was counting out my change! When we finished our meal he patted me and my friend on the back saying "Wow you finished already!" haha --["Users/Shasta"]

- ''2005-05-14 18:18:13'' [[nbsp]] This place has a pretty limited selection for an Indian buffet place, and the food does not compare to good old fashioned Indian mom cooking. Even so, I go there occasionally when craving Indian food. --["Users/JeyKottalam"] - ------ - ''2005-05-23 00:49:05'' [[nbsp]] better food can be found at ["Kathmandu Kitchen"] and even better food, that is just as cheap, can be found at that new indian place by tapioca express called ["new delhi chaat cafe"]. also the buffet items are rather bland. not good indian food. i only went there because it was a real cheap bargain for the buffet. but the quality of the food in the buffet has made me not go back for their more expensive dinners. to be honest, i havent ventured back into their buffet for a long time. ["Kathmandu Kitchen"]'s buffet is one of the best buffets in Davis and is only a dollar more. the only reason to go to Raja's buffet is if your in a rush to class, since its right by the campus. --["Users/MattHh"] - ------ - ''2005-05-23 07:11:14'' [[nbsp]] The food is delicious. The people who run the place are very nice. --["Users/GeorgeLewis"] - ------ - ''2005-07-06 18:57:27'' [[nbsp]] I agree that the food is delicious and the service is WAY better than that damned Kathmandu Kitchen. --["Users/StevoDragun"] - ------ - ''2005-07-28 22:05:36'' [[nbsp]] From an Indian person's perspective this food was really bad, totally bland. However if you don't mind its a cheap place to eat and close to campus. --["Users/AnupMankar"] - ------ - ''2005-07-29 06:55:12'' [[nbsp]] I recommend it if you have a craving for masochism. --["Users/ChristopherMckenzie"] - ------ - ''2005-09-11 16:04:36'' [[nbsp]] NEW MANAGEMENT! HOORAY! The food is better, the decor is nicer, and the service is much friendlier. The buffet food that was formerly bland now has flavor, and everything got spicier.

My grandparents and parents came up from LA to attend a major chorus concert I sang in, and we ate at Raja's as our special meal out. We had an absolutely delicious meal. --["Users/ReginaSikora"] - ------ - ''2005-12-03 16:56:47'' [[nbsp]] This is my favorite Indian place by far.

I was so hungry I ate plate after plate and had to hold back from licking my platters clean. It was so delicious I was in ecstasy. I think the guy started to get mad at me so I got out of there but not before grabbing some of those crispy chips to much on the way out. Next time I'm hungry I'll make sure to clean them out again.

Raja's is by far the WORST indian place where I have eaten at. I gave it a try to both old and new managment. but the food quality just sucks.

It is absolutely addicting! The service is wonderful as well. The people know you there, even the chefs. It is how it should be in a small town like Davis. Also try the buttered chicken. --["Users/LarinLucero"] - ------ - ''2006-11-14 22:35:00'' [[nbsp]] Excellent food...Excellent Service...and Excellent atmosphere.

The prces are incredible for an all you can eat, and the head guy is extremely nice. Also, visit on different days as the menu changes slightly each day. I got in a habit of going the same day every week and I missed out on a lot of good food. --["Users/JohnHumperdinkle"] - ------ - ''2007-01-07 12:50:47'' [[nbsp]] The food USED to be good until they changed owners. When my friends and I went, we noticed that the tandori chicken was recooked from the day before. Generally you can tell when it is extremely dry. The flavor taste a little different and we just don't go back anymore. --["Users/BeeBooBee"] - ------ - ''2007-01-16 23:31:14'' [[nbsp]] The owner of Raja Indian is refreshingly polite in a town that is filled with restaurant owners who often forget about just how many restaurant choices a student has. Although offering a buffet, the counter of food would be more accurately described as, just that, a counter of food. Though the selection is not extraordinary, most of the individual dishes are an exceptional value, and the attention to detail is duly noted. A plate filled only the homemade Indian curry chicken and steamed rice would alone be worth the $6.70 for a buffet plate. The endless nan was fresh, warm, and all you would expect from homemade nan. Overall, although hardly a gourmet Indian restaurant, Raja Indian is an exceptional value for an endless amount of homemade Indian fare. --["Users/JeffKauf"] - ------ - ''2007-01-25 16:41:48'' [[nbsp]] raja's is amazing...chicken tikka masala mmmm... --["Users/SandyRose"] - ------ - ''2007-05-01 13:04:03'' [[nbsp]] Does anyone remember when the Raja lunch buffet was $3.99? It wasn't really that long ago. Eight or nine years ago. It seemed impossible that they could offer it. So while many of you commenters seem to think that this place is a good deal at $6.99, I beg to differ. The food quality has tanked since the new owners took over. Service is still friendly, but no buffet on weekends is a severe backwards step. And I long for the day when Seth (wasn't his actual name, but do you remember the constantly smiling waiter from the original family who was missing a front tooth?) would fill my ice water practically everytime I took a sip. I've sworn this place off since the last time when I ate a piece of tandoori chicken and bit through an intact corpuscle that spurted blood, and another piece had a kinda rancid day-old taste. --["Users/RickEle"] - ------ - ''2007-05-25 18:57:10'' [[nbsp]] I love Raja's. I split the vegetarian special dinner with a friend and still had leftovers! Super yummy and great portions! Plus the service is tops, everyone was really friendly! We never had to ask for anything, it was always delivered before we even realized we wanted it! Better price, better service and better quantities than Kathmandu! Love this place! --["Users/domesticgoddesss"] - ------ - ''2007-06-19 17:27:00'' [[nbsp]] Raja's is fantastic! I've never had a more glorious dinning experience!

The service is excellent too.-- ["Users/cjjones"] - ------ - ''2007-07-13 13:16:53'' [[nbsp]] Anyone got a handle on how many times ownership has changed, cause it seems different now post the 2005 change which was disastrous to my favorite dishes. --["Users/AlexMandel"] - ------ - ''2007-07-21 17:26:47'' [[nbsp]] I've had the lunch buffet here a few times. It's quick. It's convenient to campus. The owner is very friendly and seems to want to go out of his way to make sure you are comfortable and happy. The food was good, but nothing to get excited about. --["Users/CovertProfessor"] - ------ - ''2007-08-08 22:28:52'' [[nbsp]] All you can eat????? you must be kidding!! The owner didn't let me to eat more chicken after my 4 little piece. He said that I had to pay more if you wanted to eat more chicken... He should change the sign... and say ALL YOU CAN PAY instead all you can eat... Also, the food is not that good and it is always the same... --["Users/SuBnorMal"] - ------ - ''2007-09-15 11:49:16'' [[nbsp]] We love this place! Best Indian Food in Davis. The wonderful service Raja Indian cuisine provides separates it from the other Indian restaurants in Davis. The lunch buffet offers delicious cuisine and great variety.

Here's the deal: - Asked for Makhni and received Tikki Masala. - Incredibly bland - Disgusting sauce for the meat dishes - Slowest restaurant in Davis despite there being just a few people there - Gave my family enough Naan for 1 person even after they said they would get us extra, and we all ordered dinners that came with it - Gave us Raita we ordered after we were almost finished with the meal (and then we had to ask 3 times) - Tiny portions compared to every Indian restaurant I've ever been to. - Toughest Lamb I've ever had in my life (obviously old and undercooked) - Watered down Mango Lassis - The entry says its not very expensive, but the dinners are around $11 and up and DON'T EVEN include Thali.	+ = Recent Reviews =

- The worst part was that they rejected a VALID coupon from http://www.daviscouponsonline.com/ !!! - First he said the date had expired, and after I pointed out that it was valid that day he lied and said that it was an online scammed one. The people who worked here were incredibly dishonest it seems. I found the wiki entry to be very inaccurate here, but it has always been useful in the past with other restaurants. So, I wouldn't recommend this place to my enemies because of that nasty experience. And remember, they don't accept their own valid coupons. Run away! --["Users/AnnaF"] - ------ - ''2007-10-21 12:55:23'' [[nbsp]] A couple weeks ago I went in with the coupon I got from daviscouponsonline.com for the buffet meal and the owner also told me that the coupon was invalid because someone tampered with it and changed it online. It's inconvenient because the only reason I went in that day was because I thought I'd be getting a discount on my meal - I've been there a couple times before and the food really is mediocre Indian cuisine. The owner has always been very nice whenever I've gone in, bu he really should contact the people at daviscouponsonline.com and tell them to remove Raja's coupons on their website. --["Users/AmyLee"] - ------ - ''2007-10-22 12:46:13'' [[nbsp]] You're better off going to Sac for Indian food. Or even better SoCal. Oh how I wish Davis had the Indian food choices of SoCal. --["Users/TusharRawat"] - ------ - ''2007-11-06 18:28:56'' [[nbsp]] I eat Indian food a lot and haven't tried Raja's before. I gave it a try and ordered the Chicken Tikki Masala. The food arrived and I was dissapointed by the lack of chicken in the dish and the overall flavor. The dish was spicy but lacked the complexity I am used to at other Indian restaurants. The service was great but food lacked everything in my opinion! Water was good though. --["Users/Kyle"] - ------ - ''2007-11-08 18:02:09'' [[nbsp]] I agree with you Kyle, I was really disappointed with that same dish as well. As a fan of Indian food, I really wish that they would put some more effort into making their food taste good, and to improve their restaurant over all. If you do insist on going there, it seems that the vegetarian dishes are better than the meat ones. --["Users/AnnaF"] - ------ - ''2007-11-11 18:04:47'' [[nbsp]] the lunch buffet okay at best. the owner is a nice guy but my biggest complaint is the lack of variety and my biggest gripe is about how the food isn't that warm. --["Users/DonaldJaye"] - ------ - ''2007-11-15 19:57:34'' [[nbsp]] The food isn't the greatest (it was lukewarm and overly greasy with a fast food indian taste- one or two of the buffet dishes were kind of good) but the staff is VERY nice, and you will leave full. It is a good place to grab quick food for lunch since they have their buffet ready for you. I would suggest trying to go when they first serve lunch though because I have a feeling they just make their dishes once... --["Users/KenichiSan"] - ------ - ''2007-11-16 13:07:05'' [[nbsp]] The lunch buffet is great! The guy who works here is super-friendly too. yum. --["Users/GregMediati"] - ------ - ''2007-11-29 21:23:33'' [[nbsp]] I love this place! Like many have already said, the food is great and the manager is such a nice guy. --["Users/Chantal"] - ------ - ''2007-12-17 14:25:03'' [[nbsp]] Vegans: this place is for you. It is the only Indian restaurant where I've been able to order Naan bread, they have a lot of vegan dishes. My favorite: Baighan Bartha, the best ever (eggplant dish). Katmandhu doesn't beat this one, both in quality of food and service. The food and service might look simple but it is such a nice place to be, with a super-uber-friendly guy who remembers you every time!!! Raja's is my favorite Indian in Davis!!! --["Users/SandrineJ"] - ------ - ''2007-12-24 20:44:44'' [[nbsp]] The buffet leaves a lot to be desired as far as selection goes, but the food is good. Try it! --["Users/thelonepiper555"] - ------ - ''2008-01-07 03:53:22'' [[nbsp]] The owner is so very friendly & welcoming. Sadly, the food is just so blah. I think the price is now up to $7.99, but unlike Kathmandu, which is $8.99, Raja's buffet does not include appetizers. (Samosas are available for an extra charge, but they aren't worth it). Kathmandu has more flavor & way more options. As mentioned above, Raja's does however, offer vegan bread which is delicious. --["Users/AprilAries"] - Are you sure the bread is vegan? Almost all naan is made with yogurt. Maybe it isn't naan. --["Users/ScottWeintraub"] - We were assured by the owner that the bread was vegan, but I'm not sure if it is naan. ["Users/AprilAries"] - ------ - ''2008-01-26 16:02:35'' [[nbsp]] Good food, good service, the owner is (sometimes too) friendly to his regulars. I agree that the lunch buffet is definitely worth it. Does anyone know if there's a pattern to the main lunch buffet entree during the week? --["Users/cdmarqua"] - ------ - ''2008-02-24 21:01:40'' [[nbsp]] I tried this restaurant only once, despite a love of Indian food. The service was slow, and the food was not particularly good. The mango lassi that I had was definitely not among the better lassis that I've had in my life (it was rather watery.) I also had the buffet, which was not terribly good either. While I might consider going here again, I really was not very impressed. --["Users/IDoNotExist"] - ------ - ''2008-03-06 01:29:09'' [[nbsp]] As a few people have already pointed out, the owner DOES NOT accept coupons from daviscouponsonline, even though the dates ARE valid through 2009. As AnnaF said, we too were told the coupon was old/expired. When we showed him the date, he argued he had not approved the coupons to be offered. - Just checked Raja's website, and their website advertises, bring in a coupon to save money off the buffet. --["Users/AprilAries"] - (As of 5/27/08 it appears Raja's has been removed from the Daviscoupons website.) ["Users/AprilAries"] - :Currently Raja's has no website. Most probably the one you saw was put up by the former owners. --["Users/Bergamini"] - I suppose it is possible, but it seems strange to me that the ownership changed in 2005 & the website was still up in 2008. It's even weirder that daviscouponsonline continued to post coupons in 2008 dated as valid until 2009. Thanks for the info though. ["Users/AprilAries"] - ------ - ''2008-03-23 15:39:14'' [[nbsp]] A very below average buffet. Food is bland and often dry. Selection is mediocre. Good only if you want to gorge and don't want to veer far off campus. --["Users/tombrokaw"] - ------ - ''2008-03-25 14:34:53'' [[nbsp]] I've tried the lunch buffet and the dinner menu, and had a great experience both times. - - For those who say the buffet food is bland and/or dry, I suggest maybe taking advantage of some of the chutneys, raita, etc. available on the side. I can't say I've had a bland experience, and the food (even at the buffet) is worth savoring. - - The dinner specials are huge, big enough for two or for another meal of leftovers. I had a vegetable biryani, which included lots of veggies and cashews. Very satisfying, and I couldn't finish more than a third of it. - - And they mix a great masala chai. Beautiful. - - Anyway, I like it, and it's different from Kathmandu. Nice to have in town. --["Users/eyecantremember"] - ------ - ''2008-04-05 10:45:30'' [[nbsp]] I really enjoy Raja's. I've only tried the lunch buffet, but I catch a meal there about once a week. I'm not sure how some of these reviews can call the food bad... In my experience it ranges from pretty good to incredibly good, and I've never had a bad or 'bland' dish. Once one of the buffet items was a little too salty once. That's it. I recommend heading over right when the buffet opens at about 11:30. The food will be piping hot and as fresh as it gets. Oh, and the manager is a really good guy. He'll give a free chai once in a while to his regulars. And I got free, fresh-from-the-oven garlic naan when I brought my family, and on my birthday. --["Users/AaronD"] - ------ - ''2008-04-08 20:22:21'' [[nbsp]] Raja's is my favorite restaurant in Davis and several of my friends with whom I eat there regularly feel the same. The food is great and the portions are sizable for the cost. They've got the best saag dishes I've ever had. It's also certainly he warmest and friendliest sevice in town, or in most towns for that matter. --["Users/MichaelSteinman"] - ------ - ''2008-04-09 11:12:12'' [[nbsp]] Mike and I come here at least a few times a month, one of my fav restaurants, the owner is the best --["Users/BrianAng"] - ------ - ''2008-04-10 16:30:01'' [[nbsp]] It's pretty good stuff. --["Users/AlexanderHo"] - ------ - ''2008-04-24 20:27:10'' [[nbsp]] I had their vegetable kabob for dinner and it was very good. The owner, a friendly old Indian man, gave me a free appetizer to snack on while I waited for my meal. The wait took around 20-25 minutes (not a place to eat if you are in a hurry) but the outside balcony provided a lovely view and the weather was very cooperating. The vegetable kabob meal consisted of a garlic naan, herbed rice, and a one foot skewer with potatoes, onions, cauliflowers, and carrots. The food was worth the wait and I took the herbed rice home for lunch tomorrow (but if you can eat a whole chiptole burrito, then you would have no problem finishing the entire meal). The total cost came out to $12, which is pretty expensive for students. Note: this review is for the dinner menu, not the lunch buffet. --["Users/justinhu"] - ------ - ''2008-04-26 13:39:16'' [[nbsp]] I have eaten here a couple of times now, and each time I have been impressed by the food. The owner is a really nice guy--very accomodating, and even throws in a free appetizer... - It's also really nice to sit outside on the deck on a warm evening... --["Users/adiabatic"] - ------ - ''2008-05-01 11:46:51'' [[nbsp]] I LOVE this place, I go here all the time and it's great, and they're always so nice to me...I wish the buffet was still 5.99 tho :P --["Users/Kry"] - ------ - ''2008-05-28 20:32:18'' [[nbsp]] I don't go there often, but it's always a treat when I do. The owner is about the friendliest I can ever recall in any restaurant -- like being served by your favorite uncle. I'm not an Indian food expert, but everything I order is delicious and memorable. I've only been there for dinner, not the lunch buffet, however. --["Users/RussellSnyder"] - ------ - ''2008-06-06 00:55:51'' [[nbsp]] In my opinion, food is great and the service is awesome. I usually eat here once or twice a month since I am racked up with classes. The old-man is really really friendly. He gave me free mango lassi & coffee occasionally when I'm there. --["Users/xcutioners"] - ------ - ''2008-06-25 19:29:39'' [[nbsp]] Tried the Chicken Saag and Vindaloo. They were both very tasty and at least on par with Kathmandu Kitchen. I think the prices are maybe a buck or two cheaper. The main difference was the old guy in the turban (the owner I assume) who was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I'll definitely go back and try the buffet. --["Users/BlairGoss"] - ------ - ''2008-07-31 18:17:11'' [[nbsp]] I was incredibly disappointed the last time I had lunch here. Compared to Kathmandu, it was awful. Compared to how it was in 2004/2005, it was atrocious. --["Users/PhilosopherDave"] - ------ - ''2008-10-11 19:04:56'' [[nbsp]] Had a great meal last night. Try a bottle of the J.Lohr Riesling with your dinner for a real treat. --["Users/JimStewart"] - ------ - ''2008-10-24 20:45:07'' [[nbsp]] The owner is a real nice guy; very approachable. He has regularly come out with complimentary pakora or chai when my wife and I visit. Those who had bad experiences with expired or unauthorized coupons were probably offered complimentary things as well, I would guess. Anyway, the guy certainly does not put profit before service and kindness. Between the quality of the food and hospitality, it's one of my favorite places in Davis. The vegetarian special is excellent, and enough for two with leftovers. --["Users/Bergamini"] - ------ - ''2008-10-31 13:00:41'' [[nbsp]] I am very fond of, and regularly go to Raja's. The owner is a superb guy who is honest and provides great service (even during the lunch buffet). After he took over a year or two ago, the quality of food and service shot up quite a bit. Taranbir (the owner) buys nearly all his ingredients locally at the farmer's market. Because of this the selection of food for the lunch buffet is fairly limited (12-16 dishes, about), but they're all extremely delicious. Raja's is one of those special small-scale, hole in the wall places that offers superb food and service. It is definitely not one of those huge assembly-line places that pumps out massive quantities of sub-par food, though. If you are used to eating fast-food style Indian food, this place might not be for you. However, if you like the lunch buffet, be sure to come back for the dinners. The buffet is good, but the dinners are out of this world. Be sure to try the mango yogurt-smoothie concoction. --["Users/aammdd"] - ------ - ''2008-11-03 19:55:49'' [[nbsp]] I love this place! They have amazing food, and the best service ever, fresh naan right to your table! I go here on a weekly basis and always leave happy and full! --["Users/Selby"] - ------ - ''2008-11-04 12:55:38'' [[nbsp]] Super Fantastic!! I love going to this place for lunch buffet (haven't tried it for dinner). The owner is GREAT! He is always very nice & brings over fresh chicken & nan to your table even though its a buffet. There is indoor or outdoor seating. All you can eat for less than 8 bucks! And its good food! Makes my day. --["Users/LauraBruno"] - ------ - ''2008-11-05 19:06:06'' [[nbsp]] I went to Raja's for lunch today. Very good food. I mentioned to Taranbir that I have an alergy to milk, and he had the cooks make me one of the dishes without the yoghurt that it normally includes. Great food, friendly service. - Aaron. --["Users/NeedlesFamily"] - ------ - ''2008-11-06 11:52:11'' [[nbsp]] The food is good, the owner is very friendly. I visit this place quite often and I totally recommend it. They close at 9pm, so get there before 8:15pm if you are planning to go for the dinner buffet. --["Users/Praveen"] - ------ - ''2008-11-09 01:26:12'' [[nbsp]] This place is great. I don't think I've ever ordered anything other than the chicken makhanwala or the chicken korma, but it's always delicious and my friends have all enjoyed their dishes. A chicken curry dinner dish with rice and naan is just under $12, and unless you are starving or otherwise unable to restrain yourself you will probably have leftovers. The owners are consistently very warm, hospitable, and accommodating. I was there for dinner earlier this evening with a group of people. The owner threw in a couple of free appetizers and had no problem splitting the check seven ways for us (when we all discovered no one had cash, only debit cards), which was pretty awesome. --["Users/WhitneySharp"] - ------ - ''2008-11-10 17:58:11'' [[nbsp]] Great food for a price that anyone can afford!! The fresh naan and tandoori chicken is something to look forward to~! --["Users/ecj"] - ------ - ''2008-11-10 23:53:22'' [[nbsp]] The owner is quite possibly the nicest man in existence. I go to Raja's just to be around him. He is extremely accomodating, constantly asks how he can help you and is genuinely concerned with your eating experience. Raja's food may be limited in variety, but it isn't bad. I like going there for lunch because it is so close to campus (and the owner is such an awesome guy). I can EASILY fill myself up with delicious Raja's food, and often dine in their outdoor eating area with friends during spring and fall quarter. Aree Rating: 8.5/10. --["Users/ArianeMetz"] - ------ - ''2008-11-13 22:11:33'' [[nbsp]] Not only is the food divine, the service is amazing! Everyone there is so friendly and it makes lunch time such a treat. My roommates and I go to the lunch buffet every chance we get! We haven’t gone for dinner, but it must be great since the lunch is phenomenal. This is my favorite restaurant in Davis. --["Users/JennyDickinson"] - ------ - ''2008-11-17 21:40:04'' [[nbsp]] This is the best indian food in Davis!!! mostly because of the owners. The owner is so sweet and always gives me chai tea while I wait for my food...the Benghan Bharta is delicious. I definitely recommend it! --["Users/MollyM"] - ------ - ''2008-11-18 19:20:30'' [[nbsp]] The food here is always incredible. I've never had the buffet, but I've been here many times for dinner and have never been less than completely satisfied. It's a tad expensive, but the owner is always extremely attentive and they have so many vegetarian options. I vote yes on Raja's! --["Users/Co0lToWn*"] - ------ - ''2008-11-21 14:03:37'' [[nbsp]] Great food, good service. If you like indian food you have to go and try the food --["Users/manu"] - ------ - ''2008-11-22 00:33:54'' [[nbsp]] This is my new favorite restaurant in Davis! The lunch buffet is fast and the food is really good. And the service is really warm and friendly. --["Users/Ursina"] - ------ - ''2008-11-22 14:02:11'' [[nbsp]] I go to this place all the time. The buffet is a great deal and the location can't be beat. Best part about the place is the atmosphere and service. The owner is always there and is really friendly and helpful. I recond this place to all my friends and is one of my favorite places to get a filling lunch of the cheap side. --["Users/bukj303"] - ------ - ''2008-11-23 12:09:21'' [[nbsp]] I have been coming here for a good 2 years and I have always loved their food. If you eat your share the price isnt that bad, and the types of food they have does change daily, and everytime people show up at the store hes more than happy to fix up a fresh batch of nann. Even more than the food, is its owner who every time I have come to the establishment have always been the kindest most caring personI have ever met. I have tried the other place and the food is alright, but their service was horrible, and for me I think I'll stick to Raja's. --["Users/Perot"] - ------ - ''2008-12-01 02:13:30'' [[nbsp]] Taranbir, the owner, is the nicest person I've ever met. You forget that you are in a restaurant -- I felt like an invited guest at his house! The food was delicious. New lunch favorite, hands down. --["Users/MichellePalmer"] - ------ - ''2008-12-04 08:56:57'' [[nbsp]] I had never had Indian food before and LOVED it! It was spicy and delicious. The owners were so nice and service was great. --["Users/Stacey"] - ------

The food is outstanding as well, and all of the staff is friendly. Outdoor seating is great, and you really can't beat the price for the quality of food you get - especially the lunch buffet.

We decided to try Raja's because we love their Naan at Farmer's Market. It is made fresh right there. (Unlike Kathmandu which gives stale naan with their Farmer's Market dinners.) We were totally impressed. The food was delicious. Incredibly fresh and tasty. Owners were so nice and friendly. The owner explained that the food takes longer because they make everything fresh. I don't mind the wait if the food is good. I had recently been to Kathmandu and was totally unimpressed. The food was so-so at best. I haven't been to either place for buffets because, in general, buffet lunches just aren't as good anywhere you go. I will definitely go back! --["Users/Tania"]

Sure Kathmandu has more selection, but how often to they bring to your table fresh-out-of-the-over naan? Or greet you with a warm smile? The food is always delicious and the price is right. --["Users/MikeAmerica"]

The price was VERY reasonable and you get a great amount of food for the cost. The owners are really nice and made great suggestions for appetizers. I had the chicken tikka, which was delicious and not too spicy. It came with basmati rice and naan bread which is great because a lot of the other places I've been to charge extra for those things. I highly recommend this place for anyone who's looking for a great dining experience. --["Users/BabyCorn"]

Taranbir is super nice and very accommodating. I had the Chicken Tikki Masala, which was really good. I asked for it to be spicy. He asked if a 9 on a scale of 1-10 would be fine, I asked for 8. Turned out perfect! Heh! I like spicy foods, and whenever I ask for dishes to be spicy while eating out, it almost never turns out as spicy as I would have liked it. + + One bad thing was that I could tell that they used a somewhat cheap canned tomato sauce. For a second I thought I was eating Chef Boyardee. But other than that, it was good. Each dish comes with rice and naan. Soooo filling, every single person in my group (3 other people) were full and still had leftovers to take home. Oh yeah, meat samosas were good. But only comes with two. I also tried the sweet lassi (drink), which I've never had before. That was delicious. My friend had the mango one, which was also really good. I would definitely recommend this place. The food is good, the service is good, and prices are reasonable. I'm glad we chose to go here. --["Users/JenniferGiang"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-03-23 13:16:39'' [[nbsp]] Keeping in mind that we live in Davis, Ca and have a handful of Indian Restaurants to choose from I think Raja's has the best service with good food as well. This past weekend I picked Raja's for a group of 7 friends and we ordered every appetizer in addition to sharing seven different entrees. Everyone had a great time. In the past I've eaten at Kathmandu and while the food quality is comparable on the average, + I give a slight edge to Raja's here (the Naan is far superior at Raja's). The service is where Raja's really shines. I've had too many experiences at Kathmandu where the staff doesn't give an "eff" or honestly seems kind of pissy and impersonal. Taranbir at Raja's is always welcoming and nice and happy to explain the menu items or make substitutions. He truly cares that you have a good time at Raja's. Please give them a try. --["Users/MarkHixson"]

The chicken tikki masala is the best. The owner is the sweetest man I've ever met, treats me like family, hooked it up with a free mango lassi when I went there for my birthday with friends, even asked for my name. Great service, gernerous with the naan. I've been to Kathmandu's Kitchen once, the aloo gobi was watery and bland and the service was mediocre. I prefer Rajas over them in a heartbeat. Great food, great service, great location. What more can you ask for? --["Users/Ruby777"]

I admit it's more bland than a lot of Indian restaurant food, but most Indian people don't eat super spicy, heavy dishes every night or else they'd all have ulcers. This food is a more modest and realistic version of the Indian diet, according to my own experience. --["Users/AmanpreetSingh"]

If you eat your share the price isnt that bad, and the types of food they have does change daily, and everytime people show up at the store hes more than happy to fix up a fresh batch of nann. Even more than the food, is its owner who every time I have come to the establishment have always been the kindest most caring personI have ever met. I have tried the other place and the food is alright, but their service was horrible, and for me I think I'll stick to Raja's. --["Users/Perot"]

The owner is always there and is really friendly and helpful. I recond this place to all my friends and is one of my favorite places to get a filling lunch of the cheap side. --["Users/bukj303"]

It's a tad expensive, but the owner is always extremely attentive and they have so many vegetarian options. I vote yes on Raja's! --["Users/Co0lToWn"]

I don't think I've ever ordered anything other than the chicken makhanwala or the chicken korma, but it's always delicious and my friends have all enjoyed their dishes. A chicken curry dinner dish with rice and naan is just under $12, and unless you are starving or otherwise unable to restrain yourself you will probably have leftovers. The owners are consistently very warm, hospitable, and accommodating. I was there for dinner earlier this evening with a group of people. The owner threw in a couple of free appetizers and had no problem splitting the check seven ways for us (when we all discovered no one had cash, only debit cards), which was pretty awesome. --["Users/WhitneySharp"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-10-31 13:00:41'' [[nbsp]] I am very fond of, and regularly go to Raja's. The owner is a superb guy who is honest and provides great service (even during the lunch buffet). After he took over a year or two ago, the quality of food and service shot up quite a bit. Taranbir (the owner) buys nearly all his ingredients locally at the farmer's market. Because of this the selection of food for the lunch buffet is fairly limited (12-16 dishes, about), but they're all extremely delicious. Raja's is one of those special small-scale, hole in the wall places that offers superb food and service. It is definitely not one of those huge assembly-line places that pumps out massive quantities of sub-par food, though. If you are used to eating fast-food style Indian food, this place might not be for you. However, if you like the lunch buffet, be sure to come back for the dinners. The buffet is good, but the dinners are out of this world. Be sure to try the mango yogurt-smoothie concoction. --["Users/aammdd"]
