Amazing place for a date. Waiters were courteous and the food wait time is less even though it was crowded. Ambience was nice. Started with a chicken appetizer. It was delicious and crispy. Then we had Kerala parrota with Kerala chicken curry which was tasty and authentic. Chicken briyani was so and so. Not bad. But the best part was the cardamon brûlée which was top notch. Had a nice time. It is one of our favorite places for a date.
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
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.
Based on the standards of the one Michelin star I have to say that they can most definitely do better.The food is decent, normal flavors and average ingredients, I have had better at non Michelin star rated restaurants.Besides that, I really gave it my best, as always, by ordering exactly what I would serve if I had a private dinner at my house, a couple appetizers, a couple dosa (side dishes) and a couple entrees, all accompanied by a decent bottle of whine, a normal dinner in my book.Good sliders and halibut, but every else is lacking fantasy and passion.A very very negative point goes to the up-keep, a dirty bathrooms, it is unjustifiable, grime on the sink that hasn't been cleaned for weeks is a lack of care not only for establishment it self but also for the customers.Overall it deserves a ok. And the really high price doesn't match the return.Paid $300 for 2 people!
I went to this restaurant reading Google reviews however it wasn’t upto my expectations from this awarded restaurant.I ordered dosa and sliders. Dosa wasn’t great tasting and it was hard to chew. Curries we’re ok. Beware with Ghost Chili as it is hot. Sliders were ok but it didn’t have that kick. Overall it was ok as It tasted just like any other average restaurant.Staff was polite and friendly.
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 like a regular dinner place. At the same time we also understand the trouble they are facing with staffing and managing to keep the restaurant open for their customers during tough times. We were glad that we could dine at Rasa. The food here is definitely a must try.
This is by far one of the best upscale Indian Restaurants with super-unique menu-items in the Bay Area. Their Beets & Berries salad and Bombay sliders are absolutely delicious for vegetarians. Their "Aama Sutra" cocktail with mango, jalapeño and mezcal was also surely unique. There are just 3-4 dessert choices, but the cardamom brulee is decadent and extremely satisfying!
extremely bad tasting food and bizzare combinations....miffed at kichadi like biryani with no flavour and being served with aam ka achar....god knows how this restaurant got Michelin star rating ....Shame on the chefs and the owners for ripping off the customers with overpricing of the food for poor service, absence of any ambience or decor
Different from the typical higher end Indian restaurant, with interesting options on the menu. Really liked the appetizers. Main dish presentation was great (same with appetizers) but I was not blown away by any of the 4 dishes we ordered. Desserts were pricey but good.
This place is great. Second time here. The brunch here is reasonably priced and the food was fantastic. On top of tasting delicious, the presentation of it was just off the charts. Had three main dishes and went family style with my friends. Definitely the way to go if you want to try a bunch of their stuff
