Signature Dishes
Starters:1) Papri Chaat - this is a cold dish with circular biscuit-like bits. Slightly sourish and very tasty.2) Samosa Chaat - another not-so cold fish with fried samosa bits and chick peas. Also sourish and very tasty tooMains:3) Aloo Gobi - my all time favourite! They do theirs well here.4) Spinach with Cottage Cheese - smooth blend of spinach with chunks of cottage cheese. Good flavour too!5) Mushroom Curry (I forgot the name - this is very awesome! I couldn't stop eating it!!!We ordered Naans to go with the curries and their Naans are soft and fluffy. The butter and garlic ones are even more wonderful with the extra flavours on the top! Good!!!It's not cheap but a good place to bring vegetarians.

Full review and pics: http://www.dairycream.blogspot.sg/2013/05/raj-indian-vegetarian-restaurant.htmlGoing to an Indian vegetarian restaurant can be a problem for me because I am illiterate to the menu, especially those without diagrams. However, after the last visit and reading up a bit about the cuisine, I am feeling more at ease when dining at these places. Founded in 1965 in India, Raj landed on the Singapore island in 1988, serving Indian vegetarian food from ....North, South East West of India??? (the website says so)Before you start navigating through the menu, it is good to have some Papadam (5 at $1.80) to silence the growling stomachs. After all, everyone may also need some time to decipher the long list of food, especially when the menu at Raj is more extensive than Ananda Bhavan. So, the million-dollar question is : What to order? Well, the simplest step is to pick any items from the Dosai list. For instance, this Butter Marsala Dosai ($4.70) is a good set that will fill up any average adult. Its a typical triangular crepe filled with potatoes chunks, tomatoes cooked down to a mash. They come with the three chutneys-mint, tomato and coconut. Alternatively, go for the plain-flavoured ones like Sada Dosai ($2.90), Paper Thosai ($3.80-pic above), Garlic naan ($3.20-pic below) and choose from the array of vegetarian curry pots for dipping. The paper thosai is suitable for those who like it crisp but it is also more greasy to the touch. Ours came as shiny as a bald man's head that reflected the dining lights very well.Our first dip was Palak paneer ($10), a familiar North Indian dish that consists cubes of home-made cottage cheese immerged in rich spinach puree. It had the smoothest texture out of the 3 and received the most number of thumbs-up at the table. But it should be consumed in moderation as it was extremely savory. Alternatively, there is the Dhal Butter Fry ($7.50) which had a slightly tangy flavor imparted by the spices in the pool of simmered lentil gravy.The chef's specialty--Soya Keemar Mattar ($10), was a delectable pool of minced tofu and green peas (mattar) in an aromatic semi-solid gravy. It had a thicker consistency than the dhal butter but was less salty. The dhals were all tasty, but we underestimated the sizes of the dhals curry and still ended up with at least half a pot.In order not to contribute to the amount of food Singaporeans are wasting each year, we ordered more sada dosai and also the above Sadam Uthappam ($3.30), a thicker version of dosai. Imagine tu-tu kueh minus the filling. One experiences a sharper tang even though both Uthappam and Dosai are made from fermented batter of rice and lentils.And I am proud to say that all the food were 100% polished off at this farewell class dinner=D The slight hiccups in the service did not deter the mood as everyone chatted merrily into the night. While Indian vegetarian cuisine may not be the cup of tea for everyone, I believe it was a good cultural experience. Should you be interested to try out, Raj is a good and affordable place to begin with! Full review and pics: http://www.dairycream.blogspot.sg/2013/05/raj-indian-vegetarian-restaurant.html

I've always loved the Indian vegetarian food here at Raj restaurant. They offer a wide variety of North and South Indian dishes. We have a group of 4 dining here today, so we ordered some dishes and Naan to share. We had 2 samosas for starters. I was quite surprised to see that the samosa each came on a big plate with 2 dips - a mint/coriander chutney and and a sweetish sauce dip. The samosa (the indian version of a curry puff) itself tasted really good enough on its own without the dips - spicy with potato chunks, mixed vegetables and even some raisins within. The chutney would be even better if it's a bit thicker but that's up to your personal preference.- SamosaThe garlic naans (baked tandoori bread) we ordered were soft & fluffy and not overly chewy - just nice, very good with the garlic and herbs. They went very well when eaten together with the gravies and sauces.- Garlic NaanHere's a recommended combination of dishes you can try:Aloo Gobi : Potatoes and cauliflower tossed in a delectable dry gravy. The potatoes and cauliflower were cooked till soft in a dry masala-like sauce - I like!Paneer Kalimirch : Home made cottage cheese, served in cashew nut gravy, with crushed pepper corns and fenugreek. The cashew nut gravy was very smooth and creamy but yet not heavy-tasting. The crushed pepper corns added plenty of hotness to the dish, but it was good. Cottage cheese itself has not much taste as that's how they are, but the sauce eaten together with the cheese is a pretty good combination.Bhindi Masala : Ladies fingers fried and cooked in thick tomato masala gravy. The ladies fingers were cooked till soft and very well-immersed in the tasty masala gravy which had tomatoes in it too. A really yummy dish as well.For all the dishes, there were plenty of spices in addition to the regular chili-hot fieriness to add dimension to the dishes. Really lovely!- Aloo Gobi, Paneer Kalimirch, Bhindi Masala (clockwise from top)Even if you are not a regular diner of Indian food, the menu here has comprehensive descriptions for all the items, which makes selecting the dishes much easier for non-Indians.If you are in a mood for nice & authentic Indian vegetarian food, give this place a try!

Upon a friend's recommendation, a group of 8 of us decided to head there for dinner to give it a try. We were apprehensive at first because of its location. Being situated at Biopolis, surrounded by many office buildings, the place seemed rather far off and quiet in the evening.Fortunately, when we stepped into the restaurant, we were comforted by the number of tables being occupied by westerners accompanied by Indian locals.We knew there had to be something good about this place!We ordered twenty garlic and butter naans (about $3+ each) and a variety of other gravies and curries. Being an entire table of chinese, we weren't certain of what the different South and North Indian dishes were, so we picked according to our gut senses, hoping they would be good.To our amazement, they weren't just good, they were very good.The naan was well-flavoured and very soft. Loved the texture and taste of it.The Palak Paneer ($10.00), which is actually finely pureed spinach, topped with cubes of homemade cottage cheese, is now a favourite of mine. Very flavorful and authentic.Other dishes we ordered include the Palak Kofta Curry ($10), Kaju Mattar Khumb Curry ($10.90), Kadhai Mushroom ($10.90).
