Terrific food and service at this quaint Baldwin Indian. Every dish ordered was flavorful, complex and fresh. Spice level was exactly what was requested. Nothing but empty bowls of food when we left. It's a good thing I snapped those yelp photos to remember. Most definitely will return. Be warned though that they are a bit pricier than some of their competitors over in Hicksville. They have an e-club where they will send you promotional offers. The waiter mentioned also they run a nice lunch special for just over $10.00. Wife and I both agreed they earned five stars the right way.
ALWAYS on point. I go maybe once a month now that I've discovered this hidden little gem. I've been passing it by for years, but since it's in a strip of fast food sort of shops, I've never looked at it twice. Until I was craving something different and away from the drab norm of Long Island favorites (Italian, Chinese, sushi..).
This place is so cute on the inside- maybe about 12 tables in all, very quaint and private…you're in an intimate environment, but not on top of eachother. The waiters and cooks are super nice and welcoming and always ask (multiple times) if the spice level is ok for you.
My favorite is the chicken acchari curry- medium spice..and I'm just a little white girl with sensitive taste buds- so I'm telling you, this dish is the bomb dot com.
Do yourself a favor and start off with the platter of crushed samosas appetizer (I snapped a pic below)…ITS OUT OF THIS WORLD.
Ordered food through yelp. Received a confirmation and the food was NEVER delivered.
We tried to call several times with no success. Phone line is constantly busy.
Very disappointed. Just submitted to Yelp for a refund.
Follow up. Restaurant calls and offers to deliver 90 minutes past when it was ordered.
Follow up to the follow up. Owner of restaurant calls because of my Yelp and offers to deliver the same order tomorrow for free. I explain I already received a phone call telling me it was being delivered.
End result. NOTHING WAS DELIVERED!
These people are confused beyond belief. Absolutely ridiculous!!!
Wait… Wait… Guess what 2 1/2 hours later food delivered. Too late I ordered Italian locally because we were starving.
What a disaster!
Just spoke to them will be reopening on June 20th
Still absolutely love this Indian spot. The owner is such a kind woman. On Friday night my friend and I traveled here yet again for our craving. Around 7 p.m. we walked in to a packed restaurant. We had to wait a bit for a table. The owner was kind enough to put our entire order in while we were waiting on our table to be ready. By the time we sat down all we had to do was relax and hang back until the food came out.
Attentive waiters and delicious chicken vindaloo!!!!
I enjoyed the food here a lot. I had a chicken curry. I had Samosa and naan. The atmosphere is casual. I love the BYOB policy. The waiters are very friendly.
Raagini is the best Indian restaurant in Nassau County and is up there with New Chili & Curry (in Hicksville) as one of the best on Long Island.
For starters, we split the vegetable appetizer platter. This is a great choice to split between two or three people. It gives you the chance to try four different appetizers and none of which are overwhelming spicy so anyone should enjoy it.
For my main course, I had the lamb jalfrezi. It's an extremely tasteful dish with a slight kick. It was great over a bed of the basmati rice.
For dessert, we split the rasmalai. For those who don't know much about Indian food, rasmalai consists of small premature cheese balls (which have a consistency similar to tofu cake) which are immersed in cold creamy milk topped with nuts. It provides a pleasant neutralizer after a slice filled meal.
The service here is attentive and friendly. I highly recommend Raagini for Indian food on the south shore. I would rate it four and a half stars.
WOW WOW WOW.
this place is so good I'm deleting any other Indian food book marked I had up until now.
My wife and I are in search of our new favorite spots in our new area of living and this is now our favorite Indian spot.
From appetizers to main courses everything was perfect juicy, good sauces, flavors, presentation, service and most of all at the end the prices. They give a25 percent of at the end of the bill oh yeah!!!.
The items we had were Bombay crab cakes, lamb briyani, mixed tandoori grill, shrimp from the app menu forgot name, vegetable samosas the best we ever had not dry perfectly cooked. Even the white rice wad perfectly seasoned and fluffy.
I have eat Indian food in many states, India, Bahrain and from my friends mothers kitchens and this is the best I've had.
Cone try it I guarantee it will be good as long as they don't change anything.
We will be back here for sure.
