The most delicious curry in Shetland. Recommend as a restaurant but expect to be really quiet as it's a busy takeaway. I had Dacca chicken & prawn curry with lemon rice and a handmade garlic naan.

We had red about this restaurant in Lars Myttings novel The sixteen trees of the Somme. Mytting gives the impression that it was his first Indian meal. He is super positive. And I must say: the food was more than ok and the service impeccable. But it deserves a far better ambiance. Do something about the smell in your venue, hire a painter and a home decorator and open a window. We hope to come back once and visit this special place.

Decided on an Indian / Nepalese meal on my last evening & Lerwick & made a decent choice with Raba. It's pretty much directly opposite the Viking Bus Station & Fort Charlotte so easy to locate. This was a Thursday evening & restaurant was very quiet with just a couple of other tables occupied. For my meal I chose Prawn Puri as a starter & Chicken Tikka Rezala. Both options were very good with tasty sauces & good quality ingredients. Decent value at around 28.00 with a Cobra beer, soft drink & coffee. Nice meal, friendly service & would visit again if in Lerwick

Worst Indian meal ever! Takeaway order cold even though we were early to collect & only had 50m back to apartment. Also missing an item which was corrected (lukewarm) . Chicken pakora was basically chicken in breadcrumbs with a strange coloured (orange) minted yogurt. Biryani a tasteless mess with little chicken, lamb dopiaza a lot of gloopey sauce. We have never throws so much food away. Avoid!

My only let down from 5 stars is that the prawns were over cooked. No big deals the meal was awesome. I only got a takeaway. I'm eager to dine there some night. Staff were perfect. You want awesome food? You are there. Chef specials? Yup. You will not be disappointed. Final verdict on the basis of a takeaway? A first class restaurant. I'm sure going back there. So I say you should also.

Fantastic Indian cuisine, used this place weekly for their buffet when working in shetland. Was disappointed one time when we turned up and it was mushroom pakora, bit of banter back and forth and we had full tray of their delicious chicken pakora, fella told us to call anytime we were coming and they would make sure it was on. Great people and great food.. what more do you need?

The Raba Indian restaurant. 26 Commercial Road, Lerwick Shetland. Tel:01595 695585. Date of visit, 19th September 2023. A recent fishing trip to the Shetland isles and the very interesting town of Lerwick, I discovered the 40 or so seater, comfortable clean, Raba Indian Restaurant. On Commercial Road. Lerwick is not overrun with Indian restaurants, it has three that I know of. The Raba, the Excellent Gurkha Kitchen, and the Cinnamon. All within a five-minute walk of each other. I had been to the Island of Yell and stayed at the rather bleak area of Cullivoe where both the fishing and the Weather had been less than kind. And I was in a real need of my curry fix. So, after rushing back to Lerwick in order to sample the only Indian that is SUPPOSED to open from 12 noon until 1400 hours! Two of us arrived at twenty minutes past 1.00 pm only to be told that they were in fact closed, “Close at two” the chap said, “we close at two”! I replied, “Yes, but it is only twenty minutes past one pm!” Yes, but closed, closed at two!” take out only! I argued that I had come a long way to sample this establishment and as I could see that there was in fact two other people sat in the restaurant, I was getting a bit annoyed to say the least! So eventually the waiter, who told me his name was Abdul, relented a little and said, “Main meal only” So, with a sigh of relief we entered the restaurant. And a menu was presented from which we chose two main dishes, a Chicken Tika Masala and a Chicken Madras, Pilau rice and a peshwari Naan. The waiter hurried off at breakneck speed to return a few minutes later enquiring if we wanted a drink. So, a pint of draft Cobra was ordered and arrived pretty quickly. I then proceeded to ask about a couple of popadom’s which seemed to hit a nerve with Abdul, but reluctantly agreed to bring some to the table but insisted that they arrive at the same time as the main meal! So, almost all at the same time, arrived the order, and to be fair, the chicken madras was one of the best that I have had for a very long time, almost going back to the early days in the old Taj Mahal, perfectly spiced, piping red hot, The Chicken Tika was sweet and perfectly put together, soft succulent chicken and a perfect Pilau rice. The Naan arrived a fraction later, a perfect soft layered flaky naan with a nice, sweet filling. Within a minute or so of receiving the meal, the bill was presented on the table!!! The time was ten minutes to two! So, what could have been a good memorable meal was totally ruined by the rather strange anticks of the staff! The food was really good, the establishment clean and comfortable. I then had to argue for a receipt which I was told to photograph! I don’t want a photograph; I want a hard copy! My advice to the staff of the Raba, if you don’t want to serve people at lunch time, don’t bother opening, and again to be fair Abdul was a well-mannered chap, and had spent most of the time glued to his mobile phone, but either, very poorly trained or being bullied from the kitchen. What should have been a really good end to our visit to Lerwick was totally spoiled! OK, Parking was easy and free, Price was £31.65 for the two meals and a pint of Cobra, so, excellent value . The food was 1st class, but that’s where it ends. Rating 4/10

A small and fairly basic Indian restaurant in the far north of Scotland isn't going to be a gourmet experience, but Raba delivered a perfectly good meal with friendly service and at a very reasonable price. Located a few minutes walk from Lerwick centre close to the harbour and museum.

The food was not bad, korma and rice, was ok and for £10. Initially arrived at 1.15pm and told that the restaurant was closed, no time of it me to sit in. (Restaurant is advertised 12-2pm). Disappointed I was told a takeaway would be quicker and to do this. Order was then taken. Literally after an order was taken from the table of two that must have just sat down in the restaurant and away he went with both orders. Shame that really he couldn’t be bothered to have me in the restaurant. Didn’t provide any cutlery for my takeaway, knowing I’d need it as I was originally going to sit in. I don’t understand why you advertise something you don’t offer or at least say a time for latest order, because it appears that the lunch time restaurant times should be 12-1pm

After waiting 10 minutes after our order was due to be ready, curries and nan were brought but not hot and barely warm. Nan was very chewy. Not many prawns in prawn bhuna. Curry tasted good though. Maybe just a bad night as most recent reviews are good, but we won’t use again.

Not sure why they keep getting our takeaway order wrong. First time they left out an entire dish, now they've gone and given us a cheese naan rather than a pshwari naan. Also, the staff are really weird and intrusive, grabbing my phone and looking through my Facebook after asking for the time. I did ask for my phone back, but they continued to pass it amongst their staff members showing it off. Not going to be ordering again! Very disappointed

I visited the Raba, on two occasions on my recent holiday to the Shetland Islands. My first experience at the restaurant made me want to go back for more, so I did! We ordered a Vegetable Pakora and a Chicken Pakora on the first visit and the second visit, as they were that good! I nearly ordered a second portion. But I had a Chicken Madras, Vegetable Rice and Garlic Naan on order for the main. The main courses were as good as the starters. I honestly feel so lucky to have stumbled across this wonderful Indian restaurant and got the luxury of enjoying dining there twice whilst on my holiday. I recommend this restaurant to everyone it really is the best Indian cuisine I have ever tasted. I will be back. I was wondering if you sent food by post?? Lol. The service was also brilliant, the waiters were so welcoming polite, friendly and knowledgeable! I hope you are both working the next time I am up in Shetland. Be great to see you both again, you really made us feel so welcome and valued customers.

Wasn’t a good start. Arrived and could see the restaurant was totally empty. Guy was on the phone speaking Indian to someone but broke off his conversation to show me to my seat give me a menu and returned to his conversation. After 10 minutes he returned to ask me what I wanted to drink - a pint of Cobra please? He then dealt with a few take away orders and even indulged in a lengthy conversation with one of the take away customers while I waited on my drink. After a further 5 minutes of being totally ignored I put my coat back on and left. And in all this time I was the only customer in the restaurant. Shockingly bad and ignorant service. I won’t be back.

It took forever for us to pay, because the waiter was in the staff room (there were no other customers he could be busy with). We had to pay cash.We found whatever the thing in the picture is, in the rice.

Drawn by Sunday opening, (few Sunday options in Lerwick) we found ourselves on the buffet menu which was underwhelming. Enthusuaistic Indian restaurant goers from the mother country we were disappointed by the tepid options and poor service. Just one guy running front of house, table service, and take away counter,. A second employee turned up to take our money.

Good food, but one of the strangest service experiences we can remember. While we were there they were doing a land-office take-away business, but although the restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, we got the impression the owner? manager? was doing us a favor seating us. They had a buffet or you could order from the menu. When we chose the buffet, it was clear there wasn't much food there. We were told to try starters and they'd have more food. Eventually we got plates and food. You might think it was us, but this happened with everyone who came in. The only people who got attention from the man in charge were 2 young men. He talked with them about their cell phones. A woman staff who worked for the man tried to move things along. One man ordered off the menu and she got food his food to him. Hard to fathom what was going on. Maybe it was an off night.

What’s good. The front of house are lovely. The atmosphere is not all that, a bit tired and mouldy. The starter was ok, not good, and not what I ordered but edible. The main, ordered as a vindaloo was tasteless and mild. They offered to recook the main, they did and it was better but still not great. I felt bad and paid £30 even though they only asked for £15. The beer was good and cheap, I liked the people and feel bad for giving a poor review but it’s about the food and I wish I’d gone to the Chinese. Sorry

Looks like a takeaway from the outside so I was a little apprehensive from the start. I was greeted with a warm sunny smile by the waiter, who I have to say is an absolute credit to the place. I took his advice of chicken Tikka rogan josh as I like it hot but not ridiculous. The guy bought the meal and returned on my first mouthful to ask if it was ok. I advised that it could have been a bit spicier and he immediately offered to take it and spice it up some. "it will only take 2 minutes" it was back in less than that and was perfect. I was told in future to ask for vindaloo hot. to be fair I wouldn't do this anywhere but here. but will definitely take his advice which will hopefully be soon.

We did not book ahead, & as we are vegan, we expected a problem or two. However, once the manager (owner?) understood what our needs were, he was most accommodating. The restaurant was fairly busy, mostly with locals. The food was good, without being inspired, but it was filling & not outrageously priced.
