Rasa offers great Indian food with some focus on South Indian cuisine. Very refined food and elegant looking plates. We ordered pepper fries for starters. It was South Indian Bhajji and North Indian chaat in one plate, tasted really good. The ginger cocktail is very refreshing. Genovese dosa is a great twist to traditional masala dosa, loved it. Pumpkin kofta and Kerala parotta is delicious. You must try Coconut Espuma in desert, which is mind blowing, that definitely is a Michelin star dessert. The service is good but is not at par with what we expect from a restaurant with so many credits. That?s the only thing that disappointed us. It was a special occasion that we went for, but it felt l...

One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever tried. The food did not disappoint, in fact, it was really good. I walked in without a reservation but was immediately seated at the bar. I suggest calling for a table ahead of time because the place filled up in minutes after I got there and they also had people waiting outside as I was leaving. For one who doesn’t consume chili all that much, the spice level was perfect, so if you’re anticipating fire in your mouth, you might want to consider asking your server for added heat. Staff were brilliant, by the way, they were all warm and friendly which one should expect from a more intimate space and they did it just well. Absolutely recommend!

Great ambience for an office lunch! We had great service and the staff was extremely helpful regarding portion sizes. They also accommodated half orders for appetizers based on the number of people. I particularly enjoyed the Indian railway and Bombay sliders appetizers. The main course curries particularly the kofta and dal makhani were excellent as well. The coconut rice was flavorful on its own and accompanied the curries perfectly. I also found the kulfi delicious for dessert. The one disappointment was the mango lassi. The mint on top didn't work for me and ruined the lassi. Overall, a great spot for big office lunches.

Everything was divine. We started with several appetizers and a couple of drinks, progressed to the lamb and fish curries, and finished with a delicious cardamom ice cream and puff pastries. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I am hesitant to suggest what to order because everything was really good, I?m pretty sure if on picks what they are interested in they will like it. But I didn?t take one picture for you.

An interesting twist: Indian Street food, cooked upscale! Sure $19 for a dosa, but you are going to love the impeccable cooking, and the ghost chili chutney! The sambar was authentic. For appetizers, try the Bombay peppers, very well made. The prawns are perfect for the person who loves seafood. For dessert we ordered the cardamom bread pudding, but after trying it we wished we ordered the rose Panna cotta. Good service.

Food was really great ..and so was the service. butter naan was below average ..aam sutra cocktail and rasa drinks were not at all good and had were very sweet. Rum old fashioned was good. Ambience was very very loud for the small space with the music and people clamoring .. we could enjoy the ambience after 8 15 pm. For the price and ambience, I would actually rate a 3.5 stars

It was a worthwhile experience! As a Michelin-star restaurant, they deliver excellent service and a classy atmosphere. The menu offers a solid selection of dishes that are worth trying. As for the food, it was decent but not extraordinary. The Malabar Shrimp Masala with coconut rice was just okay. I found the lemonade to be a bit overpriced at $12.

Outstanding dishes. The General tso's cauliflower, corn soup, beet berry salad, dosa, and sliders had rich and vibrant flavors. Very fast and attentive service. Patio seating was pretty, but a little loud as we were seated near some big groups. Will definitely be back. Book a table now

Wow! Food is delicious and presentation is great! We have four people, ordered four small dishes to share and two main courses: butter chicken, curry fish. Coconut rice and garlic bread. Everything is so good. My favorite is their appetizers and drink. Don’t miss it.
