This is our third time here, each visit keeps getting better! Highly recommend trying the corn chaat and the white elephant dosa. The chaat has such a perfect balance of sweet, savory, spicy, and has an incredibly addictive chew. The elephant dosa is the best dosa on the peninsula - their spice adds a subtle flavor and aroma that is unmatched. Shoutout to our waitress Jenna who was so professional and was so attentive waiting on us. She made our experience all the much better, thank you Jenna! read more

I wanna say I was shocked It's been a few years since I've been to this restaurant I used to love it. It was one of my favorite places I went for lunch on a Sunday. I'm a wheelchair user the first issue was they had a bunch of decorations on the ground which meant that they had to shift and move them there was also no clear way for me to get my wheelchair to a bathroom The music and I kid you not was 1980s Elevator Music to the moon and back to New York City, but done with a synthesizer I love the sliders. I always have mine arrived mushy and the bread looked and taste exactly like it would come from the Hawaiian buns that I bought at the store. The Patty tasted almost exactly what I get at Trader Joe's. I was really surprised that used to be my favorite thing. The $12 ginger ale tasted like the ginger ale get at Trader Joe's again I'm very surprised I used to love all When we got our bill, we were charged for our meal and the meal next to us They were kind enough to take $10 off after we had to set the table for a long time waiting for this to be resolved I don't know if they have a different thing going for Sunday, but everything felt very cheap, including coronations on the table. Nothing felt special. The service was kind, but also not solicitous It felt like a massive downgrade from the last time I had been there, and I was very confused from the music to the food levels to the inability to move the wheelchair around. It was just surprising. I would not have bothered to write this if it wasn't so insanely expensive To have an appetizer with $18 my husband's main was 34 the ginger ale well I understand they make it there was $12 for a glass. It just felt like I was paying for an elevated experience that I did not receive. Again, I've have been going there for years. This was just a massive downshift from what I was used to. read more

The food was delicious. I had my very first Dosa, as a lover of Indian food that was a bit comical to me! It was very good. The Elephant Dosa came with a side of Sambar, in addition to the potatoes and sauces, which was flavorful. The absolute star of the meal were the Rasa sliders. I could have happily doubled-down on them with cocktails and called it a night. The butter chicken was delicious, a little light on the chicken and heavy on the sauce for a dish intended to be shared; but the sauce was perfection. The ambience... I have mixed feelings. I was told that upstairs is better, but we were placed in a little corner booth style table that was designed to be quite cute, except that I found myself stuck making awkward eye contact with the bartender all night... because he was essentially just stuck there staring out into the dining area abyss. It was funny. The little table lamps were cute, and the lighting is lovely; as are the decorations above the bar. It appears to be a very family friendly environment. Our server was doing too much. Like way too much attention, and left us feeling a bit pressured when we wanted a few minutes to look at the menu, I finally asked him to make his suggestions and then give us 5 minutes to consider!! Mind you, we'd been there mere minutes. That level of attention continued throughout and was annoying. Last complaint, which was not entirely their fault, but there are only 2 gender neutral restrooms; so I was caught in a line 4 deep waiting in the hallway by the kitchen... that is too few restrooms to serve a 2 story restaurant! Also, what appeared to be a complete absence of ventilation in them - it's a bit claustrophobic. Overall, I recommend experiencing Rasa and may go back again. read more

Our first time at Rasa. Food was good, service decent but the place is too small to make the ambience personal and comfortable. We were seated at a table near a party of 4 that was extremely loud and boisterous the whole time. I understand the restaurant needs to respect all customers but this unruly table really spoiled our dining experience. In case you are wondering, no the 2 couples at the loud table were NOT Indian. They were so loud that we could barely hear each other talk or the person waiting on our table when he was trying to say something to us. Honestly, there needs to be a way for restaurants to quieten down such diners so it doesn't spoil the experience for others. I don't want to go to a Michelin star restaurant and sit and eat in silence. Really frustrating!! As for food, we liked the sliders, genovese basil dosa and beet kofta with Kerala parotta that we ordered. The drinks were a bit meh and the desserts too. The cardamom brulee was not as good as it sounded, sadly! read more

Rasa has a lovely atmosphere, and parking was easy, which made it a convenient place to meet for lunch. However, the menu felt much more limited than I remembered from several years ago, when it seemed more interesting and expansive. My friend and I shared the Chutney Prawns for $18 and the White Elephant Dosa for $26, along with one cocktail and one mocktail. Unfortunately, I was not especially impressed by the food. The prawns felt underwhelming for the price, and my mocktail was not particularly memorable. The dosa was visually impressive at two feet long, but it is ultimately still a very thin dosa and very crispy, and I found the seasoning somewhat overwhelming. The gunpowder and spices overpowered the dish for me, although the sauces and potato masala were flavorful. Our total came to approximately $90, and for that price, I expected a more satisfying overall experience. Service was also inconsistent. It was slow initially, and while our server was cordial and kind once he assisted us, he did not return to check on us after taking our order. We ultimately relied on the bartender for items such as an extra spoon and the check. The ambiance is beautiful, but between the limited menu, high prices, uneven food, and inattentive service, I do not feel the experience justified the cost. Unfortunately, I do not plan to return. For Michelin rated I expected more. read more

Updating based on a visit from a few weeks ago. All the dishes were flavorful and well presented. This restaurant is one that keeps reinventing itself. I wouldn't say Michelin-worthy but worth a visit for elevated presentation of classic Indian dishes with a modern or fusion twist. On this visit, I had the Corn Chaat (a favorite!), fried Andhra fried chicken and chutney prawns and meen vazhayila pollichatu (white fish in banana leaf). Kulfi was the most flavorful for dessert but otherwise dessert game is poor here and would recommend going elsewhere. Can be a little pricey for the size of the dishes but good for a business meal and sharing. read more

We love this place and always try to find reasons to come. Everything we've ordered has been great - the dosas, uttapam (which comes with a tasty tomato chutney), curries, and even the General Tso's Cauliflower. The food tastes high quality and comes across relatively light for this fare - great to see solid dairy-free options too. If you don't have a reservation, there's usually seating available at the bar and their bartenders have great personalities. read more

Blissful deliciousness in every bite. The very unique, flavorful, and not too sweet dessert is perfect. Take your time enjoy this one, because once it's gone you're going to want another. The cheesecake is topped with fresh whipped cream and little mango jelly delights. 10/10 read more

I can't recommend Rasa for the price. FYI they close the kitchen at 2PM, but they allow you to make a reservation until 1:45. This allows for little buffer between arrival time and the last call for food. They attempt to be creative, but the flavors and service are nothing special. Similar to Saffron, their sister restaurant, the flavors are not bad, but nothing above average. I enjoyed the thickness of the sambar, and the layered parathas, but the rest of the dishes are lacking flavor and mostly forgettable. There are only 4 cocktails on the menu, and they are more interesting in name than flavor. For example, the Surya Namaskar is simply a mimosa with a large proportion of orange juice. We averaged $70 per person, including drinks for half of the party. read more

The lamb is perfectly done! The accompanying mushrooms and Brussels sprouts were also delicious, however the sauce was very sweet and overpowering. My date and I loved the fried chicken and I also enjoyed the beet salad. The desserts were detailed perfectly on the menu, but I'm a sucker for créme brûlée -so when I asked the waiter if the "brûlée" was in fact créme brûlée and he responded saying "it is our version," I should've passed. It was a brûlée'd piece of sweet, milky bread-and massively underwhelming. All-in-all this is an excellent date night, and I would absolutely return for the lamb and to try more of the menu. read more

I was confused on how to rate this place. If I leave all preconceived notions behind, for the ambiance and food it's a solid 4. BUT, since they were awarded a Michelin star, I was expecting a lot more. For starters, none of the dishes were creative, nor were they extraordinary. I can name a restaurant in the bayarea itself for every item on the menu which makes it better. Might sound unfair but I guess that's the price of getting awarded a Michelin star :). Or maybe, just maybe, the non vegetarian items are better here. We went on a day we don't consume meat and had to pick off the vegetarian items on the menu. It was celebratory lunch but we had to stick to vegetarian food and hence chose this place. We got almost all the vegetarian items on the menu *two foot dosa: 4/5: there are restaurants that make bigger dosas so this was not the wow factor. The dosa and chutneys were decent but not extraordinary. *lotus root kofta curry: 3/5: this came with a side of asparagus stir fry and rice. We got some extra paratha as well. The curry had no finesse. The consistency was off, it needed more cooking time and more attention. The asparagus stir fry wasn't noteworthy as well. It was a very simple stir fry with coconut. *Corn chaat:4/5: this was a warm chaat with corn. It was similar to bhelpuri and had a decent interplay of sweet, sour and spicy flavors. *Rasa sliders:4/5: these were like mini burgers with potatoes. read more

Was able to squeeze in before the lunch closing at 2pm. The dosa and egg curry was super flavorful and filling. They did not have the cardamom bread pudding unfortunately. Service was fast and setting was somewhat casual. We definitely recommend stopping by at least once if you're in the area! read more

We came here on Christmas Eve and it was the best decision we could have possibly made. Our servers, Avi and Drew were fantastic. They were friendly, had great recommendations and answered our questions with details, passion and history. We started off with the rassam mussels because mussels are a favorite of ours and rassam is good for coughs (hello, flu season). This was *good*, but I'm looking forward to the sliders, which are great. We ordered some parathas to dip in the rassam and the parathas are so crispy. Highly recommend. The white elephant dosa was my favorite dish. This was the crispiest dosa I've ever had in my life, all the way through. They had "gunpowder" of seasoning 85 on the other side making it soooo flavorful. I liked the green dip best and my family liked the potatoes. The lamb shank had a perfect au jus and was cooked to perfection - it just fell off the bone. Seasoned to perfection and paired perfectly with the potatoes and greens. The chicken tikka masala was the BEST thing. Rich, flavorful and aromatic. It came with this greens side dish that was simple but perfect - coconut, greens and radish. Highly recommend. The interior is beautiful, classy but still has Indian elements, like in their gorgeous wallpaper. I feel that the price to quality ratio is more than fair given the excellent food and phenomenal service. I'll definitely be back. read more

This is a highly reputed restaurant in Burlingame for its unique takes on Indian food. First time I have visited restaurant where service is impeccable. Five starts for service and amazing ambiance. This place gives vibe of nice high end restaurants in India which are hard to find here. These dishes are inspired from delicacies in Mangalore, India. Which gives it its unique character. We tried lot of things: Fish wrapped in a leaf : This dish is a star. Extremely flavorful. Highly recommend. Every dish comes with warm salad - porial. It is so good that I can come back just for that. Chicken fry starter : Very flavorful and perfectly spicy. It comes few veg fritters here and that is fun. Malabar shrimp curry : Another favorite!! Very unique taste! Nizam style lamb : Had amazing presentation and lamb was cooked to perfection. However we felt less on heat for our Indian taste buds. Kanganadu chicken curry: This chicken is perfectly cooked, mild spice level and nut free. This was popular in kids. Lotus root kofta curry : I liked this dish. Kofta is soft and crunchy outside. Curry is smooth and creamy. I would have loved little bit of more spice in the curry. Overall amazing experience!!! This is the spot where you want to celebrate your special occasions. Highly recommend. read more

Service was excellent! Quieter than expected on a Sunday afternoon. Food was elevated but still felt like home with the authentic flavors. Andhra Fried Chicken comes with crispy spinach pakora (yumm) on top & diced onions mixed in. Masala Omelette had cheese and brussels sprouts which were not listed in the description - make sure to confirm the ingredients if you order it. Chutney Prawns were moist & well flavored. Old Madras Dosa was surprisingly authentic with yummy masala & chutneys. read more

Food and service was good. They took the 1:45 pm reservation. We were little late to reach there. They said we have to order everything by 2 pm since kitchen will close afterwards. We had to order everything from cocktails to appetizers and main course at once. There Dosa, chutneys and sambhar were really good, potato filling was very wet. The chicken, paneer, egg curries were good. Cocktails were refreshing . Vada pav sliders and Andhra fried chicken were the two items everyone enjoyed a lot. Chutneys were really good! Burlingame downtown has nice vibe. Finding parking can be little challenging. read more

This is located in Burlingame downtown. It has 2 levels & I love the Indian decor! They place musical songs with no lyrics, which was nice. On their walls, they had Michelin stars from previous years. Service was attentive & kind, they clean up your dishes before the main course. Food 5/5: -White elephant dosa: I love the flavor of this dosa, it reminds me of a cheesy chip, very crunchy & savory -Corn chaat: this dish surprised me, because I've never had corn made this way. I always get it as an appetizer because it's delicious -Malai Paneer Curry: spinach & cottage cheese dish. I love how the cottage cheese was in the middle & firm. It kinda reminded me of tofu. -Butter Chicken: flavorful & delicious. Can't go wrong with getting this dish! read more

Delicious!!! The food was amazing! And the service was great! It is an adorable spot for dinner! The white elephant dosa was a must have!

This was probably our 4th or 5th time to this excellent Indian restaurant. Service has been consistently good and the quality of the food is also excellent, tastefully prepared. Sliders (vada paav style) were prepared to perfection.. crispy crust, tangy chutney, superb blend of flavors and taste. The corn chaat was new, but very nicely prepared.. with fresh corn. We ordered our usual Madras dosa.. also consistently excellent. Our son and his friend also ordered chicken curry and fried chicken and cleaned it up..they said the items were finger licking good .. Excellent restaurant maintaining consistent high quality! read more

Came here with a few friends for dinner and loved our dinner here. Everything is fresh and flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the dosa and the corn chat. The corn chat was something my friend ordered and don't expect anything like your typical corn - it was very different in a good way. The chicken dry was also very good. Quantities were generous and service was attentive. Overall, this is a nice Indian spot with some good food. Recommend read more

Rasa has a chic ambiance, and we were excited to try a Michelin-star experience. The meal had a few highlights, but overall it didn't quite justify the price point. The sliders appetizer was easily the standout and absolutely spot-on (5/5). The butter chicken, however, was underwhelming (3/5) and came with an unpleasant surprise, a hidden piece of red pepper in one of the sides that caused an intense burn. The beef with bone marrow was tasty, but the dish felt misleading since the bone marrow heavily overshadowed the actual beef portion, making it feel more like a bone marrow dish than the beef entrée that was advertised (3/5). The raita was the biggest miss, bland overall, overly salty, and paired with large cucumber pieces that didn't work well (2/5). Service was polite and respectful, but inconsistent at times, with long stretches where no one checked on our table and empty glasses went unnoticed (3.5/5). The atmosphere was definitely a highlight and deserves a solid 4/5. Overall, some flavors were interesting and creative for a first visit, but the experience didn't live up to the Michelin hype or the pricing. I'm glad I tried it once, but I wouldn't rush back. read more

If it was just the slider would has said 5/5. Unfortunately the dosa was not that spectacular for me which is why it was 4/5. The slider was flavored so well and every bite was bursting with flavor and textures. The dosa tasted pretty plain and crumbled very easily. The chutneys were good tho. Inside it's a nice ambiance though. Nice decorations and enough seating and can definitely be for a fancy ish night out. read more

Finding a nail in my food at a high end restaurant is totally unacceptable. The server was very apologetic and came twice. We genuinely appreciate the waiter. But we were greatly disappointed by the indifference of the restaurant management. The reaction shown was far too casual given the potential health risks if I had sallowed the nail. No manager bothered to talk to us. I have picture of the nail after I spit it out. I am not recommending this place to my friends. read more

Me and my friend had dinner at Rasa on April 25, 2026 around 5:30 PM, and unfortunately had a very concerning experience. I ordered the chicken curry, which came with a salad containing Hyacinth beans (Lablab beans). The beans were noticeably undercooked. My friend was already full, so she didn't eat any of that dish and was completely fine. About 5 hours after the meal, I became seriously ill with constant diarrhea and vomited three times around midnight. The symptoms were consistent with food poisoning. I went to urgent care the next morning (April 26). When I talked to my friend and we did some research, we concluded that the undercooked Hyacinth beans were the culprit. What disappointed me even more was the restaurant's response afterward. We contacted them politely with the receipt to inform them about the situation, mainly because we were concerned about food safety. However, we have received no response even after more than a week. I understand that mistakes can happen in any restaurant, but ignoring a customer's report of a potential food safety issue is unacceptable -- especially at a restaurant positioned as a higher-end dining experience read more

I learned of this restaurant from an article talking about how they reopened in 2024 and it was a former Michelin Star restaurant. We had a celebratory opportunity recently, and we chose to dine here given the upscale nature of this restaurant. We booked a last minute reservation on OpenTable for 5:30 on a Sat night. Finding street parking wasn't too terrible at that time, and street parking is free after 6 pm, so we only paid for 30 mins of parking. We showed up and were promptly seated afterwards. I started with an order of Mango Lassi. The price is steep ($8) but absolutely delicious and refreshing. The lassi is Thick, and there We ordered a variety of dishes to share, including the White Elephant Dosa, Butter Chicken, and Duck Confit Biryani. -White Elephant Dosa: 2ft long dosa! We greatly enjoyed how crisp and flakey the dosa was! It was nicely spiced such that it wasn't too spicy, and you can taste the butteriness of the dosa by itself. The chutneys were tasty and flavorful. -Butter Chicken: The chicken was incredibly tender. It was easily falling apart using your spoon alone. The curry was creamy, but didn't taste heavily dairy-based. The veggies and basmati rice that accompanied it went well with the chicken. -Duck Confit Biryani: I was surprised by how much raita we received because usually many other places would skimp on the raita! We enjoyed the biryani a lot, and it wasn't too spicy at all. The duck was less tender than the chicken from the butter chicken, but we greatly enjoyed the dish overall. We ended the night with an order of Cardamom and Pistachio Rose Kulfa. Both were packed with flavor, and the ice cream was incredibly smooth. They also gave us a complementary ice cream scoop topped with strawberries and a lemon wafer since we mentioned we were celebrating. It was overall a very nice restaurant with incredibly tasty food that is worth going to for a nice celebration dinner! read more

Came here on a Sunday night and it got super busy around 6/7ish for dinner! The food and cocktails were really good - lots of alcohol options. For dinner we ordered: Lobster Appetizer - Least favorite item of the night - couldnt really tell where the Lobster was. White Elephant Dosa - definitely the coolest thing we ordered and I'd def recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it before. Keep in mind that it is 2 feet long, so make sure you're sharing it unless it is the only thing you plan on eating! Corn Chowder - the corn was sweet and this was the perfect Chowder texture. It was sooo good, but keep in mind that it is quite filling! Butter chicken - favorite entree of the night - really good flavors and I love how it comes with rice and a veggie Duck confit biriyani - Good flavor but the duck was overcooked a bit and crispy instead of tender. Overall enjoyed our experience here! Lots of families and young kids, so expect some noise. read more

We ordered 4 appetizers and 1 dessert for 2 people: - rasa slider: spice and clarified butter come on the side for you to adjust to taste. The sliders have good flavors but a bit greasy for my taste. - anhdra fried chicken: come with some battered fried leafy green. The spice is good ( I prefer the leaf over chicken) but again pretty greasy (esp the chicken) - shrimp uthappan: the marinate in the shrimp is good. But the pancake tastes a little bitter and is not crispy. Would totally not recommend this. - white elephant dosa: crispy and a little bit of chewiness in some part. The orange chutney is very gingery (which I like) and the white chutney has strong coconut taste which is also very good. Overall a solid dosa but nothing too crazy. - the chocolate dessert: the star of the meal. The whiskey jelly is interesting. Both the mousse and brownie are well done and have perfect sweetness level. The vanilla ice cream is too hard though, would be better if a little more soft. Would recommend this. This place has won Michellin guide several times so I expected the food to be better than this. Price is high and portion is small (except the dosa and dessert). Service is slow and we waited pretty long for each dishes. read more

Went here with a group, the appetizers were better than the meal itself, in my opinion. My butter chicken had 5 pieces of chicken and lacked the authentic Indian flavor I usually get. For a Michelin restaurant, the presentation of food was average, nothing fancy and doesn't stand out. Our server was nice and friendly. 5/5 The reservation for "private room" cost $300 itself. It was in front of the kitchen door and register on the second floor, which was very disappointing for the price paid. read more

We reserved a lunch spot on Resy after reading some really positive comments about this place (we were heading to the city anyway so it's a nice stop midway). There's plenty of street parking nearby. We were actually pleasantly surprised to learn that this place had won a Michelin star for a couple years previously. It seems though they change their menu quite frequently so some of the comments we read here that are a couple months old no long apply. We ordered the mussels and fried chicken for appetizers and butter chicken and duck for entrees. Both chicken dishes were really good, particularly the butter chicken which is very very tender. Probably the best Indian chicken dish we have had. The duck was also quite good though not as impressive. The mussels were ok, nothing particular to remember (the only thing we regret ordering). One thing to note is that we came here for a birthday celebration and the owner served us a complementary dessert. Very nice of them. Overall I would still give this place a five star for its service and some quite impressive items. Five star means we will revisit next time we are around the area. read more

If you know me I'm not a fan of Indian food. So I'm going to rate this per my sister and niece's comments. So they loved all the flavors and all the dishes and raves about how everything was so flavorful. Here are the things I actually thought was good. First the fried kale that was with the fried chicken was super crispy and had was a tasty 8/10. Then we had some sort of a flatbread with mushrooms on it and I thought the flavor profile was awesome!! 9/10. read more

I came here with a group of colleagues, so the company was already excellent. We began downstairs at the bar where I started with their thyme me up cocktail. This is a greyhound with more ingredients and I like it. We then went upstairs to our table. I like the wallpaper you pass with its birds and palm trees. We started with the vegetarian sliders with their mild flavor. Our next course was what they described as a type of idli, but really it seem to be more along the lines of a mound of green ponggulu (sp?) balls. Idli are usually larger, fluffier and shaped more like disks. The green color likely came from the chutney they had been dipped in. Because they were described to me as idli, I was first put off by the texture, but once I took them for what they were, they were fine. I wouldn't go out of my way to order them, however. Then came some calamari rings. The texture was a little tougher than I would prefer, but it didn't stop me from eating my share. Then were brought uthappam. These are little onion pancakes with very mild flavor. A little bit rubbery texture. The accompanying chutneys gave the flavor. Then came my main course. I already know they do a good butter, chicken, so this time I went with the duck biryani. The rice in the biryani was well prepared with each grain being separate. The flavor and aroma was very appetizing and there was plenty of duck in the dish. Some parts crispy and some tender for a good variety. I would definitely order this again and I left no leftovers :-) For dessert, we had the mango ice cream, Yum! And also the kulfi which arrived at the table looking like two frozen donuts. I believe one is flavored with rosewater and the other with cardamom. For my wine, I had a glass of the pessimist, which I suggest to let sit a little bit after it arrives at table, so that it opens up more. A member of our party fumbled her wine and the staff was there immediately to clean it up. And they were very good also about clearing dishes as they were finished without interrupting our conversations. Since we were more than a party of six, the add tip was 20%, to which I added a little more. The service here is very good with a number of people looking after the tables. read more

I came here last night to celebrate my would have been grandfathers 87th birthday. Indian was his favorite food so I really wanted to go out for a special dinner. To start, the food was SO expensive and the portions were so small. We ordered the butter chicken and it was like a child's portion. There was only two pieces of chicken, it was cold, not spicy, and lacked flavor. We also ordered the white elephant butter paper dosa, which highly recommended by our waiter. The gun powder dust was like crunched up Cheetos and it was quite thick and soggy. We told the waiter and they replaced it with the Genovese Basil Dosa and honestly we were still unimpressed, it lacked flavor and wasn't anything special. Overall a very expensive Indian spot and I don't know what the hype is all about. I've had way better Indian food in the Bay Area and will not be coming back anytime soon. read more

The food was not bad, presentation was nice but I wasn't blow away. I do prefer the India man food in Fremont more than the more refined Indian food. The rice was a bit dry, but the butter chicken was good as that's my favorite dish and my go to. They do have a good drink menu so if you're here for drinks then it's a good spot. read more
