Dining in Davis: Raja’s Indian Cuisine

Just like the hot Indian men in my life (of which there are naan), Raja's Indian Cuisine takes the Indian cake in spiciness.

Having tried a couple of the other Indian and Nepalese places in downtown like Indyna Bistro and Kathmandu Kitchen, I was itching to try Raja's. But to be honest, I was turned off by the subpar wraps they offer at Davis Farmers Market. Still, I was determined to give them a chance to make amends with my taste buds.

In Wednesday's article "Parks and facilities outreach meeting to be held tonight," the date of the meeting was incorrect. The meeting will take place May 20 at 7 p.m. The Aggie regrets the error.

Ethiopian art and portraits lined the walls of Queen Sheba restaurant. Red, yellow and green cloth bordered the ceiling, and a tiny platform was marked off with a straw overhang. A DJ played music in the corner and a lone microphone was set up in the middle of the platform. This is where the poets performed.
