My first visit to Rasa but definitely won't be my last. Went with my daughters who recommended it and it was excellent. I had the honey ginger duck with brown rice and did not leave a scrap, it was delicious. We ordered 3 types of nan and enjoyed them all. I am an old fashioned aficionado and my waitress suggested I try it with there chai syrup, it was awesome. We can't wait to go back.

I can’t imagine ever not giving Rasa five stars! It’s super consistent and always a great experience. Really good food, good drink selection, and excellent service. It’s gotten a little pricey for what it is, but prices have gone up everywhere, so I can’t blame them.

Haven’t been to Rasa for at least 3 years as was living out of the county and because of the pandemic. Went there for lunch, food was excellent as always, very good value for money. Lovely spicy chicken with tomatoes/onions (Jalfrezi) and the naan bread was the best. Looking forward to going back.

Overall good, however a young woman seated two tables away continuously spoke at an absurdly loud and frenetic level the entire time we had drinks and ate dinner. Despite mentioning it to the waitstaff it continued. It seems she’s a regular. Disappointing and a definite negative.

Interesting experience and a review that must also be taken in the context of holiday dining. Went for Valentines Day weekend. Very experienced with Indian food and after seeing the reviews, made our way to give it a try. The drinks took awhile to arrive. Only one bartender to deal with food and drink for an entire bar full of customers as well as drinks for everyone else. No worries, but notable. Apps were nice. Really enjoyed simple papadums and chutneys as well as Samosas. Mains came and it was a disappointment. Ok. It was inedible. Food was lukewarm at best. Indian food must be served piping hot. Chicken tikka masala looked beautiful but was flavorless. We didn't bother with the Aloo Gobi after the first bite and it was taken away. Naan was also lukewarm. Manager/owner came by and immediately rectified it. Problem is, kitchen did so by simply amping up the heat. Guys, this isn't a taco and it is insulting that the restaurant would treat American eaters this way. A proper chicken tikka is cubes of chicken SIMMERED In a mild sauce. It isn't kabob grilled chicken dumped into a prepared orange sauce at the last minute. And it tasted like it. The “fixed” stuff we took home was nothing more than the same chicken tikka with a dose of hot sauce. I have never had such awful Indian food in my life.
