    This place reminds me of childhood. Curry is such a home time feel. Trying curry as kid really understand the culture of these wonderful and kind people. The taste of goat is so dye for. The mango shake here so creamy and tasty. So so fresh. Can't wait to eat there very and made to order Naan. The goat curry is very mild with amazing flavor. Today I got goat curry to go. The to go goat curry was huge and had a lot of meat. Does feed two to three people. There lentils and chickpeas are very taste too. I always love eating here with my hubby with fresh salad on the side. All there curry here you should try. There sweets here always so delicious very fresh. Promise we something please get the Naan. I promise it's the best naan you ever tasted. All you need to do is to pick which crurry you want to taste. IFY they are closed on Tuesday. It's worth the wait. Enjoy peeps.

    While Raja Sweets provides probably the best Indian desserts/Mithai, I was severely disappointed with the Mango Lassi, me and my yelpies had recently.  

    Lassi, traditionally usually comes in 2 different variety.  Either sweet or salty.  Ours was neither.  When I started sipping on my Lassi, I could not taste any sweetness whatsoever.  Also, the lassi tasted sour with an after taste to it.  I knew right away, that the yogurt was either stale or definitely expired.  Normally yogurt can go days after its expiration date, but this one was definitely old.

    I threw away my cup as I couldn't deal with it and plus our next pit stop was at an ice cream parlor, so I figured I could just have a shake or smoothie their.  

    As the Mango Lassi was a bust, I recommend yelpies to try it at Shahnai Restaurant or Aga Catering and restaurant or Agha's Juice.  You wont be disappointed.  For me, I will just stick with a select few desserts at Raja's.

    Really fresh desserts! My partner's first experience eating jalebi (orange treat on the top in picture) was in Kuwait, and he said this experience completely changed his opinion of Jalebi (unimpressed to "wow this is really good!)

    Pros:
    - freshly made desserts
    - patient staff (I had to ask for the name of things 3-4 Times)
    - inexpensive

    Cons:
    - wish items were labeled for us non-natives to the desserts

    Yum! Delicious and not overly sweet! So many different flavors! I feel inadequate to give a review because I'm not familiar with Indian desserts, but these are just so addicting!
    I tried almond (fav), cashew, pistachio, chocolate, honey, milk + sugar, and many others!

    Ever since being introduced to the Halwa at Maharaja Bhog, I've been in love! Thanks to yelp members who posted menus of Raja Sweets, I saw that they sell this delicious dessert by the lb. excellent. I cleared my schedule and dropped by.

    Like other reviewers mentioned, this place is not fancy. It's a hole-in-the-wall, mom and pop shop that serves an assortment of Indian sweets along with samosas, pakoras, chewdas, and a small selection of hot Indian food. We got the chicken curry with aloo Gobi on naan and a side of samosas. For dessert, a delectable piece of almond burfi. Food portions are huge, and very filling for two adults. This place actually reminds me of Yellow River in Chinatown. Cheap food, not of highest quality but tasty. Chicken curry was on the saltier end, but perfect with plain naan. Aloo Gobi was good as well. Overall not my favorite Indian food place, but great bang for your buck.

    Now the highlight was the Almond Burfi. Not overly sweet, very dense and full of Indian spice flavors (think cardamon). I was in love all over again. Ended up also trying the carrot halva and pistachio burfi, all excellent. The only hard part about ordering is that none of the sweets have labels. Perhaps if I grew up on these desserts I would be able to tell what each one is, but the sari wearing Indian ladies behind the counter will patiently tell you what each one is. So glad for this place and will be back for more!
