    Overall our experience was very good and Rasa continues to be one of my favorite restaurants. We ordered the cauliflower, corn fritter and calamari to start. The cauliflower and corn fritter were both very good but we didn’t care for the calamari. The batter on it was chewy and tasteless. We have had the calamari before and it was much better. Not sure why they changed the preparation but hopefully they will go back to the original. We then had the basil dosa which they offered to pre slice into 4 portions making it much easier to share and it was delicious. We also had the rack of lamb and butter chicken and they were both very good.

    ⭐⭐☆☆☆ Disappointed by Unexpected Charges Despite Good Food and Service We’ve dined at this restaurant before and enjoyed it, so we decided to return with a party of seven. While the food was good and the service attentive, our recent experience left us feeling disappointed and a bit misled. We brought our own wine, as we’ve done in the past. However, we were shocked to find out after the fact that the corkage fee increased with each bottle — $45 for the first, $55 for the second, and $75 for the third. At no point were we informed about these escalating charges by the restaurant staff or assistant, which felt unfair and not transparent. For a restaurant we’ve previously enjoyed, this left a sour note on an otherwise pleasant evening. Clear communication on charges—especially ones as steep as this—is basic hospitality. We wish we could say we’ll return, but this experience left us with a sense of disappointment and frustration

    Their chicken butter masala was really bad. Just lumps of chicken. The other items were ok. The duck biriyani really good.

    Rasa is one of our favorite restaurants in the bay area. They never fail to impress. All our non indian friends this is the first restaurant we recommend for a introduction to indian food. Love the personal touch from the owner Ajay also. Always get an email from his to make sure we had a good experience. Hope he opens many more such exclusive food experiences:-)
