My husband and I were quite sad when the Rasoi in London closed. So when we found out there was a Rasoi in Geneva we were thrilled and I quickly made a reservation.
What a mistake.
This restaurant is expensive. I mean EXPENSIVE. And portions are tiny. So tiny that I left hungry (and I weigh less than 100 pounds if that tells you anything).
Food itself is just okay. I will say that presentation is quite nice for most of the dishes, especially the halibut appetizer, but 30 CHF for 3 tiny 1-bite samosas? No presentation justifies that price.
Service is confused and inept at times. Our first server was excellent and took time to explain every dish, asking about our allergies. The next server (who took our order) was less friendly and didn't convey the allergies to the chef. The third server really didn't know anything at all.
So our food came out with nuts, which I don't eat, and which I found out about after a few bites. And this was in 2 separate dishes.
The first waiter tried to make things better by apologizing and taking away the nut-containing dishes. He offered to bring out something else, and ended up bringing us another plate of halibut and some plain rice, which we were not charged for (thus the 2 stars). But honestly we were just so over the service, the prices, the wait time, and the confusion that we just wanted to leave.
Needless to say, I don't recommend Rasoi at all, unless maybe you have an expense account and zero allergies. read more
