Cafe Raj

Established in 1999. Cafe Raj is an authentic northern Indian eatery in Albany serving delicious lunch, dinner and takeout made with the best ingredients available. We take the time to select these ingredients for each dish, from our lean cuts of meat that are always hormone, steroid and antibiotic-free to our complex blends of spices and fresh vegetables. We make everything in-house, from our bread dough and ground spice blends to our samosas and desserts. Each dish is made to order, and our open kitchen allows you to watch the magic happens as our chefs prepare your meal. The food at Cafe Raj is served family-style, in generous portions to encouraging sampling and sharing of our many tasty dishes. Whether you are new to Indian food or pride yourself on your discerning and sophisticated palate, we have the perfect option for you. We are known for our impressive vegetarian and vegan options, as well as the always-popular Chicken Tikka Masala. Cafe Raj opened in February of 1999 as a tiny neighborhood restaurant with six tables, high hopes and delicious, consistent curries and tandoori grills. In 2003, we expanded to twice our original size, creating much more room for dining while maintaining our open kitchen and cozy atmosphere. Now in our second decade, Cafe Raj remains committed to providing perfectly-balanced food served with a smile. We appreciate each of our customers, and hope that when you leave you feel like family.Read more
