About us
RAH is a recent concept launching October **** on Chapel Street, Windsor — an eight-course Silk Route degustation kitchen drawing from Persian, Mughal, Levantine, and Central Asian cuisine. Technique-forward. Coal and ember-driven. A restaurant built around serious food, thoughtful hospitality, and a guest experience that feels completely its own.
