| - I had to contribute a review to this because I completely disagree with the bad review below! I love Raj Mahal. Living in Philadelphia I have access to a lot of really great ethnic food, but honestly, outside of New York's Curry Hill, this is the best Indian food I have had. Their lunch buffet is on point, with the standard tandoori chicken, chicken makhani, fresh and buttery naan, excellent saffron rice (a surprisingly hard thing to get right!) and aloo gobi. Their gulab jamuns are excellent as is their rice pudding- and they are literally the only Indian restaurant outside of London where I have been able to get jelabi. I can't get those in Philly- not even in New York! Their menu items are great too- especially the chicken vindaloo. Yum.
The ambiance of the place is something I really love about it. It's a legit ethnic restaurant in Akron, OH. They have fun Indian decorations, and it is neat and clean if a bit sparse. The bathroom is questionable and it can get chilly if you are sitting near the windows in the winter, but it's really a cool place to go. Oh and they have a shop next door, which makes going to lunch or dinner a little more of an outing. This place is great- I really hope that people keep going because it is one of my favorite places in the Akron area.
