We arrived at this unassuming din spot in the early evening. It was jammin' already. We got seated upstairs, in eyesight of the two lil' elevators responsible for transporting food to the guests upstairs. Nice. I ordered a glass of Merlot, and was pleasantly surprised. I opted for the vegetarian feast tasting menu. Ay. Ay. Ay. Course #1: buncha' amazing chutneys served with crispy chips (mmmmmm ya, they were solid) Course #2 potato, plantain, aubergine fritters served with a chutney for each (least fav was the plantain, the aubergine with tomato chutney was great) Course #3 lil' bowls of greatness: mixed veggie curry, daal saag, mango yogurt (ah-may-zingggg) served with roti (paratha was a win), spiced potatoes Course #4 rice pudding (had a taste, but didn't eat the rest. Not their best work) Service was a little slow, as they were slammed and basically only had one waiter upstairs. Everyone was super nice tho. There was a bit of a lag between courses, but other than that, it was a great dining experience! I'd go back, no doubt. read more

Rasa is a very very good restaurant. They serve South Indian cuisine which was new to me. We came right when the place opened so things were pretty quiet. Our waiter was incredibly friendly and was happy to help us with any questions. Our friends recommended this place and told us we had to try the Beet Cheera Pachadi and Parantha. We also ordered the Konju Manga Curry and Seafood Starter. It's definitely different from any Indian place I've tried but I'm still coming out of my American shell and making sure to order things other than the Chicken Tikka Masala ;) Both curry dishes (I think they were both curry) had incredible flavours. Sweet and subtle but nice hints of savoury from the shrimp. Both were also very different. The Beet option was the most unique and I really enjoyed it. I could have done without the starter but it was interesting to try the multiple items. The prantha though... holy crap that was amazing! It's like a flatter more sweet naan. We both gobbled it down. (I did just say gobbled.) We had to order two. read more

Ah- MA-ZING! This was the best South Indian food I have ever eaten. From the first bite (to the completely stuffed) last, I found myself humming and closing my eyes and saying "mmm," through the whole meal. The menu is a little daunting for me because there is so much text. I would have like to have taken it to the hotel to read a day before to understand all the great stories being told about the food, how the smells remind the author of one thing or the next from his childhood, etc. But I didn't have that luxury. It was 10pm on a Sat, I was starved and YELP said they closed at 10:30p. (Luckily, on Sat- they don't stop seating till 11pm). I am traveling alone and unlike many prix fixe menus I have seen around town, this one was not a min of 2 ppl. So I ordered the "Non Veg" FEAST. Here's what came with it: - Part 1: Pre-Meal- a basket of cruchies of all sizes, including savory banana chips. All perfectly seasoned and delicious enough that I almost got full just snacking on those! Also included was a small sampling of spicy pickles and a garlicy yogurt - Part 2: Appetizers - served with a small cucumber, carrot and lettuce bed, the apps were a lamb puff, chicken samosa (this was THE BEST SEASONED SAMOSA I HAVE EVER HAD) and a fried prawn. The prawn was just at the right temp, not rubbery or overcooked. The lamb was mixed with potato and a little bit dry- but compared to everything else- a small textural note. - Part 3: Mains- there were three curries- Chicken, lamb and fish- a large helping of lemon rice and a large pancake roti. The fish seemed hard at first, but did not taste dry at all. It tasted almost like it was compressed. Not sure what fish it was, but it was wonderful. The lamb was a solid curry in a dark sauce. It was cooked perfectly. The best of the three was the chicken curry. This wasn't your average tikki masala, the seasoning was just spicy enough and went perfectly with the roti they included to mop up all the juices. Before I could finish this part I was bordering on stuffed. I couldn't resist noshing on more of it, so I barely left any behind. Then I was truly stuffed. and along came... Part 4: Dessert- this was a delicate tapioca rice porridge with hints of coconut, cardamon and little slices of cashews. Unlike other tapioca that I have gotten to finish and Indian meal, this one really knew how to hint at spices without overpowering it. Cardamon is a difficult spice to work with if its not toasted properly and (preferably for me) strained out rather than included whole. They handled it perfectly. The service was spot on, I was visited several times, but not enough to feel intrusive. There was an entertaining party sitting nearby, so I heard some fun conversations. The only downside was the lack of wi-fi and spotty phone reception, or this review would have been posted while i ate. PS: I heard from the waiter that the cousin of the chef/ owner has a restaurant in Culver City on Venice Blvd. He wrote down the info for me. Now I have a place to check out when I get back to LA! read more

An absolute hidden gem in London. Amidst the high end luxury stores on Bond Street sits this awesome southern Indian restaurant serving amazing food at REASONABLE prices! I was flabbergasted. We ordered a bottle of wine 4-5 plates and our bill was £60. We started with the lamb puff, which was shockingly good. Although this dish is typically a street food type of pastry, they way Rasa prepared it was elegant while retaining the best features of the dish. Superbly flavored lamb and a beautifully fluffy pastry texture. The kingfish curry was outstanding. Deep tomato sauce, but very well balanced. Kingfish was cooked perfectly and very fresh. We also ordered the Tikkhali curry, a vegetarian dish, but an amazingly rich, and creamy sauce. The paratha went was soft with a beautiful texture and went perfectly with the curries. Overall we had a tremendous dinner at Rasa and will definitely be returning soon! read more

What we ordered: Nair Dosa - This was amazingly delicious. I've never had something like it in the States and all I can say is "wow!" The crepe-like pancake is out of this world. Good for sharing with 2-3 people. Banana Boli - Love the texture of the batter and the flavor goes well with any savory starters. Chicken Samosa - Surprisingly yummy samosa. One of the best I've ever had. Kappayum Meenum - Tasty spicy fish dish. Remember to order a side of their coconut rice to go along with it. You won't regret it. Overall, Rasa might not be the fanciest Indian restaurant in London, but the food here is solid and tasty! I'd recommend making a reservation first since it gets packed quickly during dinner hours. read more

Had lunch at Rasa a few days ago...here are my thoughts: Ambiance is just okay. The restaurant could use a facelift - it sort of reminded me of the 80's. It was fairly busy for a Monday afternoon. Service is quite friendly and food came out quickly. Food is also just okay. --Nair Dosa had excellent flavor but was SO SPICY that I couldn't taste the excellent flavor after just a few bites. --Masala Dosa was also tasty but deemed spicy by my MIL who can definitely handle more spice than me. --Husband had a chicken salaan dish, not sure which one, but he seemed to like it. --Plain rice, paratha, and roti were all good. Since I can't handle Rasa's level of spice I doubt I'll return. There are far too many better Indian restaurants in London to subject myself to another round of heartburn. read more

Most of my favourite Indian restaurants are named Rasa. Not kidding, there are many Rasas all over the world and I happen to like many of them. This is one of such. A cute, pink, multi-storied establishment, you won't miss it when you are near it. The interior is nice and cozy, with a sleepy atmosphere - perhaps a tad too sleepy as the waiters were more than a bit slow. The food was delicious though. The menu is more South Indian, although you can definitely find tikka masala amongst the dishes. The curries were delicious and complex in flavour profile, while the breads (or starch) didn't disappoint. Leave some room in your stomach and round it out with one of their desserts. It is certainly hard to compete with all the other great Indian restaurants in this city, where even the flights serve curry onboard. Rasa doesn't disappoint and can definitely stand its own. read more

They do Take Away! It's a great thing to have such a good restaurant in such an expensive area, but to also have the offer of Take Away makes it amazing. Although its a take away with a difference. One can only decide between three options: vegetarian, meat or big meat Mealbox. I normally go for the Vegetarian Mealbox, which includes two sorts of spicy curry, rice, a mini bread, a side dish and some milk pudding for desert. It's a good sized meal for £4. It makes me happy. As the curry flavours don't change this is not something for every week, but for special "I need a treat." days. read more

Not sure about the food other days but we specifically made reservations to go have the Vishu Sadhya. All I can remember was great food coming onto my banana leaf and immdly jumping into my tummy. We had amazing fresh food that was served and a great variety for the saadhya. It was on a weekend so the restaurant was pretty full ! The servers knew to explain each item (although only when asked) and it was the right amount of quantity. They could have gone a little generous with the servings , but with the number of items I get that it was wise of them to have done what they did. Overall a-satisfied-meal experience. A bit pricey for what they offer, but defly worth it, for the occasion . read more

My favorite Indian restaurant period. Lentil soup is awesome and so is everything else. Mango Lassi, Paratha was perfect, Prawn Mango Curry was my favorite, and the Biriyani and Masala with chicken was great too. The owner's brother helped us and gave us nice history of south Indian cuisine as well. I hope they open a location in northern California soon..I will be there!! read more

It's Wednesday midday, off to lunch with a friend Where to go? Where to go? On Yelp, we depend!! Yelp, Yelp, on the wall... Who has the fairest dosa of all... The first place to show with cuisine from Kerala Is Rasa... looks good! Time for masala! For me, my fave from South Indo, the rava dosa Crispy, flavourful, unique, almost better than my beloved samosa My friend, a lover of Indian cuisine Went for a fiery curry, what a spice queen! The food, the starters, the chutney all great My dosa was a bit greasy, but not a major debate As I believe one visit is too brief I will def be back, to try their meal on a leaf!! read more

Ok so.. First things first: do you remember last time you went to an indian restaurant? Ok take everything you remember from that experience and throw it away, as this is NOT the usual indian. It's Kerala cuisine! Much more similar to Tamil/Sri-lanka food than to Rajasthan! You will understand the difference from the very beginning: more flavored, with bananas, coconut, lots of fresh cardamom, different types of curry.. Take a minute and try to understand the different flavors you find in every bite: amazing uh! Anyway, speaking more in particular about the place: it's pink, SERIOUSLY PINK. I call it (in italian at least!) "ancient pink", I'm not aware of any actual translation... Anyway, the restaurant is developed on two floors and it's quite small: that means that it will be crowded and noisy, please don't bring your date here (as I saw today....)! Bring your friends or your at-least-two-or-better-three-years-partner here and have fun! We took the non-vegetarian menu: a set of flat bread/dry bananas with sauces (awesome sauces!!), a starter composed by three pieces, lamb puff, chicken samosa and fried prawn (please don't ask me the exact names!), and an assortment of main dishes, chicken, lamb, fish, potatoes and rice (something like a biryiani), and a small dessert to close everything, the classical rice pudding (if I remember well it's called kheer...). Damn! this food is good!! I mean, it's not simply good (maybe not for everybody.. it's hot! but well if you don't like spicy food why the hell you are in an indian restaurant!?!?) but it's INTERESTING: As I said before, try to think about what you're eating at every bite, it's simply unbelievable! wonderful raw products and with a lot of experience in mixing them in a terrific result! Thatìs why I'm suggesting the menu, so that you can actually taste the highest number of different plates in a single meal! Just a bad side-note: they were a bit slow (but that's ok, it's saturday night!) and I hate to pay for white rice in indian restaurants usually rice is for free! but anyway totally recommended, come and discover a new state of India and its wonderful flavors!! read more

I stopped in for lunch and was very pleasant and had a lovely warm atmosphere. I found the waitstaff to be helpful and the service to be good. I can't say it was my favorite Indian but overall it was a positive experience. read more

Mediocre food, terrible service. We had a reservation for 7 p.m. and we were there right on time. We sat on the second floor (there's a weird spiral staircase to get up there) and placed our orders pretty quickly. I don't know if this is just standard for England, but rice isn't included with your dishes; you have to order it separately. We also asked for water. The waiter brought over sparkling water to pour in our glasses, but that's not what we wanted. I don't think you should assume people want sparkling water. We told him we wanted still, and he seemed really pissed and went back to the bar to get a bottle of still. I saw him putting down the glasses rather forcefully. Our appetizer came quickly; we got the selection of various fried starters. I thought the frying was heavy and nothing seemed particularly inspired, though the eggplant (tempura-style) was probably the best. The dish also had plantains, a lentil donut-type thing and a potato ball. Our entrees took FOREVER, about 45 minutes. The table next to us came later and got their food faster--they didn't order appetizers, but I still don't think they should be all the way through their main course before we even see a main course show up. The waiters never took any time to explain what was going on and seemed to avoid eye contact with us when they walked by. The food, when it finally came, was just fine. It lacked any hint of heat-- we understood it wouldn't be Indian-level spicy, but thought it would have something-- and came in pretty small portions. The best was probably the chicken biryani and the roti. Everything else just seemed rather uninspired: the chicken tikka masala, the fish curry and the spinach and lentil vegetarian dish. It was also very hard to see how any of these dishes could take that long to make. They tacked on a 12.5% service charge at the end, which seemed high, given their attitude problems and our interminable wait. read more

Although the portions were pretty good for Europe something was just missing!! we had couple of starters and they were quite good. Esp. the lamb puffs. The meals were just OK 2 chicken, lamb and veggie dish. We asked one spicey and it real was as we like it. But they were just OK. The nan was very poor compared to what I am used to. Very similar to the frozen ones we buy. Price was very expensive for us. Has to be the most expensive indian food I ever had. But then again everything seems expensive here in London. I thought Canada was expensive!!!! Everywhere else in Europe seems very fair even Paris. read more

My husband's co-worker recommended this restaurant to us, and I must say what a great recommendation it was! This restaurant is probably the best indian food I've ever had. It was quite different than I expected being that I normally have a more creamy based/coconut milk type sauces. Rasa is more of the South Indian style which made food quite flavorful, but not rich and heavy like some of the dishes I've had in the past. All the dishes we ended up with I would highly recommend and would get again - 1) Chicken Masala - just enough of a kick that it went well with the bread and which complemented the flavor 2) Vegetarian curry with mango and ginger - the most unique dish 3) Plain rice/steamed - a must have to give the curry something to sit on, without it the curry would have been a bit too watery to really get a hold on. We didn't try the coconut rice, but we saw it at the other table and it looked quite popular and came highly recommended 4) Bread - more a flakey pancake type that didn't have quite as much structure as a Naan, but was quite good and still allowed for the wrap type concept. One thing I did notice is that the portions were a bit small. There were only two of us and with 4 dishes we finished everything and we don't generally have extremely hardy appetites. If you are a rice eater or don't like the spice, you may want to get two sides of rice or bread. Maybe I'm just used to the portions in the US, but while this did end up filling us I was a bit unsure when they brought the plates over. Overall, we walked out of there very satisified. I would highly recommend and it looked like mostly local folks bringing visitors in. This place would be very easy to miss if you didn't know it was there, a bit in an alley way, but definately go and find on Dering Street! read more

This is a great Southern Indian restaurant in a surprising location. I have family of Keralan origin and they will testify that the food served here more than echoes home cooking. Try to avoid the meat dishes, as these are for the naive Indian restaurant visitor and are inventions for the region. Anything with a veg focus, or the prawn and king fish will be fantastic. I think the prices are a little more than they should be, but this is not unexpected given the location. Highly recommended. read more

I had some friends visiting, and when Americans come, Indian is always a safe bet. Even the okay stuff goes over well with them. My usual go-to has recently had a menu overhaul (not in a good way), so I thought about trying out Rasa. We arrive. There's a ton of space which is nice, but not many people. Of course, it is a Tuesday night, so that may have something to do with it. But after careful consideration, we decide to go for the non-vegetarian feast (£30 pp). And we order a bottle of red wine. Which turned out to be really good. The non-veggie feast started with snacks (poppadoms, banana chips plus more delicious goodies) and SIX chutneys. It was like being back in South India again. And they were all really good. The coconut and the lemon chutneys were my favorite. This is followed by some starters. You can also tell them what starters you're interested in, and one of my friends wanted the samosa and my partner wanted the lamb puffs, so we made sure to get those both. There was also a fried prawn. And a couple of really nice sauces. But then the feast arrived! FOUR different curries, two different rices, potatoes, paratha and chapati. Wow! It filled up the table. And it was really good. The potatoes were spicy. My partner said the paratha was better than usual (I get them quite a bit because I love them, and he always tries them). The curries were great. My favorite being the lamb and the spicy chicken. The fish curry had nice flavor, but the fish was slightly over cooked. The meal ended with some rice pudding. I loved the flavor. I think if I had a choice, I'd probably get a different dessert as the banana dosas sounded great. Speaking of dosas, the table next to us ordered them and they were huge. I'm definitely going to go back and try them. I loved my time at Rasa. Good food, good service and good company. I'll definitely be back and probably be bringing visitors who want some good South Indian food. read more

Wow. This. Food. Was. Incredible. Very spicy. Try the rice pancakes. Try the aubergine based dish called Bagar Baingan. I've previously had South Indian cuisine, but thought that meant just dosas. In fact, South Indian food includes lots of saucy dishes with light notes of coconut. (It tastes lighter and healthier than most creamy North Indian dishes.) The server we had upstairs, Harish, was nice and polite, and very informative about all the dishes. He basically picked our dinners with some minor input and we definitely didn't regret it. The appetizers were really special. Try the banana boli!! It was sweet but had a great peanut sauce. :-D read more

This was a good, not great, local spot... They didn't have all the dishes that I normally like (like Vindaloo, etc...) but think it is traditional of the area... The food was not as spicy as I would have liked, but had a very nice meal. The staff wasn't the most helpful when it came to recommendations or descriptions. Especially difficult for someone who didn't see his usual favorites. read more

I'm South Indian by blood/culture, so it's always a little interesting going out to eat 'home' food...mainly because I don't consider it 'glamorous' or worth it enough to eat out, and because I'm overly critical of it when I take the plunge and it's done poorly. And it's often done poorly. Luckily, this was not an issue at Rasa. In fact, I want to bathe in the sauce used in the basar baingan (a dish of fried aubergine in a creamy cashew, yogurt, and chili base). Please feed this to me every day (and watch me get really fat. It'd be totally worth it). read more

I am one of those who complains all the time about how UK does not have any authentic Indian restaurants but well, err, I guess Rasa has made me finally shut up! I was quite literally bowled over by the menu as they had some very unique south Indian dishes which even I had not tried before. India is such a massive country that it is pretty much impossible to try all Indian dishes even when you are an Indian (Yes there is a lot more to Indian cuisine than curries). Rasa has several branches around London (sadly not in Manchester yet... *sigh*), I went to the one near Bond Street for a work dinner. We were 15 of us so you can imagine the amount of food we ordered, I can safely say we pretty much ordered more than half the menu (which means I get to try a little bit of everything -- yay!). We commenced our meal with a starter platter which included aloo tikki, wadas, fish cakes and prawns along with a plate full of chutneys --- yummm (not saying anything more). For mains we ordered Dosa, Aubergine curry in a cream sauce, coconut rice, chicken madras curry and many more (pardon me for not remembering the names of 10 dishes) and all of them tasted absolutely delicious and very authentic. For all you people who know Bollywood stars, Aishwaria Rai (ex miss world) has visited this place several times (saw it on their website -- :D). The pricing is not sky high either, rather I would say it is very affordable compared to other London restaurants. Verdict : Definitely going back when I visit London next and I hope they open a branch in Manchester soon (Rasa -- are you listening?) read more

My friend and I kind of stumbled on Rasa while Leonida's shut the door on our face... south Indian food, at reasonable prices, and very attentive service, maybe b/c my friend is from Kerala... regardless we got the two Feasts (the veg and meat options) one for about £20, and the other for about £25. a complimentary basket with dippables came first with a selection of 6 chutneys (lemon, coriander, garlic, veg, mango, and coconut). Then the apetizer consisted of a fried aubergine, potato ball, and fried banana (for the veggetarian version accompanied with tomato chutney, peanut sauce, and coconut sauce, whereas the meat version had one lamb pastry, one potato ball, and a chicken samosa with tomato chutney, tomato sauce, and a mild chutney. by this time, i'm taking it slowly, and glad that loose clothing was in effect! main course consisted of three curries per veg, and meat, so yoghurt curry, veg curry, and a potato/spinach curry of some sort, whereas the meat option, had lamb curry, chicken curry, and fish curry. All these were accompanied with paratha bread, and pancakes, in addition to saffron rice, and this curried potatoes bowl.... s t u f f e d t o t h e b r i m part of the feasts were desserts, so we had one rice pudding (which i am personally generally not a fan of and looked a little runny to me, but tasty nonetheless), and the pistachio kulfi - A M A Z I N G!!! very rich tho. all this for £50 (with service chg included). a complete feast.... made for an anorexic breakfast, and an even less nutritious lunch the next day... will defo be back!!! P.s. there is a VERY strong smell upon going in the restaurant, but authenticity comes with a price.. right? read more

Every now and then, you simply have to eat some Indian food. Even more, when you're living in London. So one night I went to Rasa W1, to taste their kind of Indian cooking. The best was their mixed poppadom etc. plate for starter. Mostly, you just get one or mode poppadoms (and almost every Indian restaurant write it differently anyway) with the usual chutneys. Here you get a selection of normal poppadom, some special poppadom, some tasty crunchy sticks, and some other thing. With the usual chutneys, but also with some lemon chutney or pickle, what I haven't tasted before. The main then was okay, could have been a bit more meat, but besides that, it really tasted good. They also offer a special pancake as side it sounded good and I was curious, so I went for that instead of plain naan. The pancakes, called appam, were really good. Very different from naan bread, but also a good supplement to finish the delcious masala sauce. The mango lassi also turned out to be a good choice. The problem began, when I wanted to order a dessert. If you don't like bananas and raisins, the dessert menu becomes quite short. I wanted to try a special sort of Indian ice cream. Unfortunately, they did not have that this evening. I don't go to an Indian restaurant, to eat just normal ice cream, so I left without a dessertsad ending for a otherwise good dinner. The only thing, I really did not like, is the colour scheme. And maybe music. read more

Excellent all around experience at Rasa. We had the veggie and non-veggie feasts (tasting menus) and all the selections were good or great with not a single misfire across a dozen dishes. Quite impressive indeed but no single dish was epic like at Roti Chai or Trishna so that's why it's just short of 5 stars. Also, service while attentive and polite was not always in sync with the cadence of the meal (we had long waits between courses). Decor is cozy and traditional, nothing too chic like the modern venues but holds it's own homestyle charm. Highly recommended, and great value for the cost. read more

Oh my... Simply awesome. Little unassuming place just off Oxford Street across from House of Fraser. Was welcomed like family. Started with the Banana Boli (battered, deep fried plantain with a peanut ginger sauce) which was very nice. Followed up with two curies because I could just pick one: adipolu erachi mulegu (lamb cooked in chili and turmeric) and beet cheera pachadi (curried beet and spinach in a yogurt sauce). Both were fabulous with boiled rice and a side of malabar paratha (fried bread) to sop up the leftover sauce. No room for dessert, but that's ok because the food was THAT good! read more

Usually grab a takeaway to take back to work. By those standards pretty good. I are in the restaurant once probably...

We both ate "The Feast" from the front of their menu. Really too much food for us, but we "suffered" through because it was so good. We called ahead to make sure there was a table, as we heard it was a popular place. We got a very good table and the staff spent a great deal of time talking to us and explaining the food that never seemed to stop coming. Talked a bit about the Kerala region as the source of the spices and preparation, and even brought out a book so we could a read a little bit about it. WIll definitely go back next time we're in town. read more

Rasa was a good solid Indian meal with a friendly, attentive staff. They have a nice menu with some slightly different Indian dishes. They have some of the usual dishes and some standbys are missing too. I asked about one of my favorite dishes that they didn't have (Vindaloo) and the waiter suggested a dish they could prepare hot that I would probably enjoy. He made a great suggestion and I really enjoyed the dish. We tried both the Tomato Rice and Coconut Rice and they were both good. Unlike most Coconut Rice that has Coconut Milk, this has some shredded Coconut added which adds some great flavor and texture. All this and the prices were very reasonable. Rasa was a good find and I'd gladly go back next time I'm in town. read more
