  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood 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.

It was probably the best restaurant meal we’ve had since moving to the area a year ago. The restaurant is in a lovely historic home, cozy yet spacious, right in downtown Lewes, which was so beautifully decorated for the holidays. Our group had limited experiences with Indian food. Our waiter, Jonathan, was outstanding. He helped us navigate the menu and choose dishes according to our tastes and heat level preferences, and gave us friendly and top notch service. We chose wines from India, though there were many other choices available. Appetizers included vegetable samosas, spinach and kale chat (my favorite) and a water chestnut dish which my daughter loved. I chose the Paneer Saag as my entree. It was very delicious, and I plan to have it again on a future visit to Raas. Husband had Butter Chicken. So good, tender chicken and a rich delicious sauce. Daughter chose Goan Salmon, as did 3 of the people at the next table. She loved it. All entrees were beautifully presented, and we enjoyed each dish thoroughly. The dishes had some heat of varying levels, but this was a background to the rich savory sauces and worked perfectly. We wish we hadn’t waited so long to try Raas. Highly recommend.

Our server, Jess, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and guided us to some interesting dishes with wonderful flavors. We especially loved the appetizers (shout out kale and spinach chaat and smoked eggplant chokah!) and the Pomfret (worth the de-bonjng effort!). The restaurant is homey and lovely. We highly recommend Raas—a great experience all around!

Our food was delicious and interesting. Everything was presented so beautifully that it looked like artwork - we almost felt guilty disturbing it. My chicken was the most tender I had ever had and my husband's whole fish was very pleasing to him. It was a good experience to sit in a comfortable booth and observe the kitchen staff at work. The kitchen looked very clean and organized and the chefs certainly knew what they were doing and did it smoothly. They were very gracious in responding when I thanked them from afar.
