Mediterranean restaurant, Restaurant
Ajja is a true gem. A chance to try Michelin worthy food at regular restaurant prices. The plates are designed to be shared, and I recommend trying as many things as you can.Stock up on extra bread, as you will want to dip the bread in everything.The menu changes seasonally, which makes every visit a new experience. Everyone is so friendly and attentive and you can tell how much they really love working here. The food is like a Middle Eastern light Indian fusion, but it's really hard to put it in a specific category because the dishes are so unusual but yet approachable.We brought the grandparents with us this time, and even though they prefer milder dishes, they very much enjoyed the burst of flavor as even though there was a boldness to the spices it wasn't overdone.Be sure to try their unique twists on cocktails and special desserts. Ajja is the best nationally recognized fine dining restaurant, James Beard nominee, that you can easily get reservations for, arrive in jeans and a t-shirt and not feel out of place, and eat a meal that will not break your bank.I highly recommend this to everyone!
Without question the best restaurant experience I’ve had in Raleigh in a long time.Loved the atmosphere; next time we will plan ahead and leave time for a drink by the outdoor fire pit with a perfect view of downtown.The staff was wonderful.Very creative cocktails.The food was incredible.Definitely share so you can try as much as possible.Unique and wonderful tastes, presentation was outstanding, so great.Cannot wait to go back.Highly recommend; make a reservation and go to Ajja as quickly as you can!
I read one review that said “food was fiat”.I’m stunned by that.Food is bursting with flavors: fennel, garlic, fresh dill, cilantro, candied nuts, etc… it’s really delicious and beautifully presented, very appetizing. The atmosphere is what I loved the best, it’s unpretentious, quiet, pretty, fun.Our waitress was really friendly, giving us advice, joking with us.A must in Raleigh!
