About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Vegetarian-friendly
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.

    First time here and will definitely return. Food was delicious, price is comparable (if not better) to similar tier restaurants, service is amazing—friendly, efficient, helpful and fun! Atmosphere is charming. Did not expect to like it so much but certainly will be one of my “go-tos” from now on!

    The food is superior to the vast majority of Indian restaurants where I have dined. The flavors are more complex and nuanced. The dishes were delicious. Service was excellent.
