One of my favorite places for Indian food. The food is consistently good which makes it reliable and customer service is great too. No complaints thus far in my experiences dining here. read more

We came by for lunch - a good place with well-spaced tables. Each of us had a thali - one with meat the other vegetarian. Both were very tasty. My wife had a strawberry lassi. I ordered an extra puri which was not as light as it should be. I mentioned this to our server who took it off the check (without my asking) which I appreciated. read more

We were visiting family in the area and they suggested we meet at the restaurant for lunch on a weekday afternoon in late August. I ordered the Thal lunch plate with the Nirvana selection. It is a lunch plate with a number of small dishes that are selected to complement each other. It reminded me of a personal buffet. I enjoyed it. I think you would too. read more

Rasoi - Thal lunch plate with Nirvana selection - Indian Near Me - Pawtucket, Rhode Island

Came here for a quick lunch. Nice setup inside. Parking was not a problem. We were in a bit of hurry so didn't explore some of the detailed menu. We had the lunch specials - madras chicken, saag paneer, chili & cilantro naan and rogini naan. The service was good, food was good too, my hubby asked for it to be a bit spicy and we got killer spicy. Something to remember when we come next time. read more

An update: most recent visit was 12/25/23. I've never eaten at Rasoi on Christmas Day before, so perhaps this comment is applicable only to the cooking staff working on holidays? Our server was attentive and fast, and he even helped me look up my rewards balance at the table, so no service complaints! I ordered the Lamb Barra chops (cooked in the Tandoor) which were delicious but within an hour of eating, kept burping/repeating on me for about 3 hours. I have never had this problem before when dining at Rasoi. Burping after eating curry is a sure sign the curry spice has not been properly prepared (or "cracked" in oil). The masala potatoes were slightly underdone (perhaps the result of being cut into larger than usual chunks). I suspect the curry seasoning in the potatoes wasn't prepared properly either. So when I went to reach for my leftovers today, I reheated them by chopping up the potatoes into smaller bits and frying them and the remaining chop in a fry pan for 7 minutes. Luckily, the spice "cracked" with this reheating technique and no burps! My husband ordered the Tandoori Salmon which was a generous portion and cooked to perfection - but alas, also resulted in hours of burping. We'll come back some day soon and try Rasoi again (but not on a major holiday) to see if the cooking has improved. If not, I'll be sad to see the end of a 16-year relationship, but all good things must come to an end. read more

Alright, alright, alriiiiight! I really I mean reaaaaaally enjoy this spot. Every layer of a meal here is spot on. One random thing I loved was legit seeing the meat hanging and being flavorized right before my very eyes! They are slow cooking some supreme flavors. The staff are extremely personable and professional. Attentive. It is worth mentioning that beyond the delicious meats they offer a solid vegan section of offerings. My personal favorite dish is the goat vindaloo. The goat falls off the bone tender. There is a kick that comes on at the back end and doesn't leave. Their classic dishes are outta bounds phenomenal. Oh, and if you don't get the entire naan menu you aren't living!! Every single naan is uniquely amazing. Highest recommendation Fam! Bon appetite!! read more

We absolutely love Rasoi! The staff is amazing, the food is delicious, and its the perfect spot for gathering with friends and family. They make you feel so welcome. read more

This place is amazing!!! Ordered takeout from over 30 min away and it tasted like I had dined in. EVERYTHING was fantastic! Garlic naan, chicken Tika, chicken Rika masala, pepper chicken, and some other things. The menu is SUPER easy to read and gives great descriptions and if you're ordering online it's even better with pictures added. I know not everyone may need that but as someone who has only tried Indian food twice before I don't really know what I'm doing unless I Google search the whole time so the menu is very user friendly for someone like me. This meal is Def in my top 5 for life. Cravable! read more

Rasoi - Indian Near Me - Pawtucket, Rhode Island

Great place for Indian food in Providence! The atmosphere and ambiance are colorful and lively inside the restaurant. I've been here multiple times over the last 3 years. Their mango lassi is pretty good although their cocktails are Aok. Among their dishes, I've tried their potato and peas samosa which is usually good. The chutneys that come along make a good pairing. I've also tried their cauliflower 65 and chili chicken, both are very good as well. Among larger plates, their chicken biryani, chicken lababdar, saag paneer, and lamb rogangosh are pretty good. Sometimes, the lamb pieces can be pretty big. I've also tried their non-vegetarian thali which is quite good as well. Overall, I'd definitely come back here, would like to try the weekend buffet. They could improve on the consistency of their food, especially on the weekends when it gets busy. read more

My family and I enjoyed the dinner we had here over the weekend. Service was great. The food was good, with the Korma and Masala sauces a little on the thinner side, but still tasted good. The samosas were very good (we had potato and pea). A nice spot!! read more

Rasoi - SAAG 8 oz, D- CHICKEN KORMA, D- CHICKEN LABABDAR (MASALA) - Indian Near Me - Pawtucket, Rhode Island

Located in small shopping plaza in a no-frills restaurant, Rasoi can easily be missed; but make no mistake - the food here is worth stopping by! Available for dine-in, pick-up, or delivery, this restaurant does not disappoint. The menu boasts delicious egan, vegetarian, and meat lover options and gives a customer the opportunity to try "a little bit of everything" for a tasting of South Indian cuisine! My colleagues and I decided we all wanted to try the Nirvana lunch special, which consists of: chicken tikka lababdar, madras lamb curry, potato and eggplant avial, basmati rice, rogini naan, and kachumber salad. My favorites were the chicken tikka lababdar and the madras lamb curry. My rice and naan loved all the sauces, and the salad was very fresh as well! One thing I would like to point out is that they do have beer, wine, and cocktails if you so wish to indulge, as well as weekend brunch! This place can literally do no wrong. The waitstaff was great and the service was excellent. read more

Rasoi - Indian Near Me - Pawtucket, Rhode Island

THE SERVER REMEMBERED OUR WHOLE TABLES ORDER! (There were 8 of us) So first, let me start by saying there are a few locations for this Indian eatery: Providence, East Greenwich, and Pawtucket. I've dined at the Pawtucket location for years and always enjoyed the food; for the most part, it is extremely consistent. However, service has always been a hit or miss. For instance, sometimes some staff they have aren't knowledgeable about what they are serving, but other times they will specialize the food to exactly what you want and work around any allergy or special diet you may have. There occasionally can be long wait times, but the staff is efficient for the most part. So since the family was still in town after Christmas, we decided to eat out, and the consensus voted for Indian cuisine. Not even thinking, I went to Rasoi without making a reservation, and there were eight of us. Instantly when we walked in, we realized this place was packed. But what the heck? I still asked if they could seat us, and they did. Within fifteen minutes, we were sat at the front by the window. While everyone was trying to choose a seat to sit in, the server stopped to tell us he would be right with us. This guy was himself taking the whole restaurant, and honestly, I didn't think the service would be good, but I wanted a Chicken Korma, Naan, & Mango Chutney. It wasn't long before he was back, and we ordered a handful of Lassi drinks (mango and sweet lassi) along with a couple of herbal teas. He dropped off the drinks, and I noticed that all the teacups had hot water in them, making them warm before pouring the tea, which I can say has never been made at any other place I've been. It took us about ten minutes to fifteen minutes to figure out what we were going to order. The server saw we were having trouble, so he gave a few suggestions and then said something like, "so I don't keep interrupting you while you figure out what you want, stack all the menus together, and he would see that as a signal we were ready." It was nice we didn't feel rushed or uncomfortable even though it was taking us a while. So finally, we started giving him the order we started with crispy wafers and chutney, Aloo Tiki Chat, and Cauliflower 65. He didn't move and asked us if we had any menu questions and if we were ready to order our dinner. You could see the anxiety on my mother in laws face immediately noticing he wasn't writing anything down and had at least ten other tables other than ours. So before my mother-in-law said anything, I asked if he was sure he didn't need to write anything down. He ensured we would receive the food correctly and in whatever order we wanted. At that point, all my family started calling out things they wanted. Initially, his facial expression looked as if he might have thought this was a bad idea, but by the end, he seemed pretty sure. This still blows my mind! For food, we had ten different entrees that we all shared: Aloo Gobi Chicken Korm, Okra, Saag Paneer, Tandori Chicken, Vegetable Mango Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, Shahi Paneer, Lamb Vindaloo, and Lamb Saag. We also had three Garlic & and cilantro naans, two plain naans, and a Date naan. Some of our dinners had potatoes, some basmati rice, and some brown rice, and I don't know how but this guy had appetizers out once we finished, had all the entrees come out with the right side, and all the good naans. As I mentioned in the beginning, I have been going to Rasoi for years but have yet to write a review, and this amazing experience deserves a review. Between the food, which I love and always love, and the service, which was on a different level compared to any restaurant I've been to recently, I had to give Rasoi five stars. I don't remember the server's name but look for the guy looking like he is training for a marathon! Give Rasoi a chance they deserve; you won't regret it. read more

Rasoi - D- CHICKEN KORMA MANGO CHUTNEY 8 oz BASMATI RICE - Indian Near Me - Pawtucket, Rhode Island

This time, I went with a friend who was visiting from Worcester. We both started with soup, as I had the excellent Lentil & Vegetable soup, while he enjoyed the Mushroom & Spinach soup. For dinner, I really indulged in the Spicy Garlic Shrimp. He took great pleasure in eating the Korma Chicken dinner with special in-house tea. As usual, the service was excellent. And I hope to bring more visiting friends to this restaurant in the near future. read more

We stopped by on Saturday December 2, 2023 and tried the sampler platter before 3 pm. The waiter wasn't very attentive as he brought us both brown rice when we specifically asked for the white Basmati. The food is very good, especially the lamb curry and saag paneer. Ambiance is upscale cool. We will return. Recommended. read more

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT! I went there to meet 6 of my friends for dinner last night (Thursday), after work. One of my friends was already there waiting before 9pm and the rest of us arrived at 9:03pm. We sat down and the waiter rushed us to order saying the kitchen was closing! Online the hours said they were open until 10pm and it printed on the door. Once the food was on our table he kept coming back soon after to see if we had finished. We felt very rushed and not welcome at all. The remaining waiters kept staring us down forcing us to leave. I've worked in the restaurant business previously for 10 years and have NEVER done anything like that. We were taught to treat customers with gratitude and respect! Even when people walk in 1 minute before closing! We would wait patiently until the customers were done! We spent almost $200 and we treated very inhospitably!!! It's VERY RARE that I ever leave a bad review but the way we're treated was so rude and on top of that the food wasn't even that good! We will NOT be returning to or recommending this restaurant ever again! If I could leave 0 stars I would have! read more

Reviews were great so we thought of stopping by this weekend. From the outside, the restaurant looked underwhelming but changed as soon as you enter. The layout is quite different. There is a bar seating as well but we went at around 5-5:30 PM EST and did not see anyone there. The staff was very friendly. We ordered a lot of food and I mean a lot for 2 people. So let me start with the food. IPA - Good Mango Lassi - Not good. It tasted very diluted. For $5, that's pretty expensive for a watery lassi. Chicken Tandoori - Excellent. Don't order the potato masala. We did a mistake there. Should have just taken rice. The potato masala is basically the masala put in masala dosas and I am not a big fan of that taste. The lentil which came with the tandoori was too good. Bengali mutton - I have no idea why it's called Bengali!! I am from Bengal and a pure Bong. If you say Bengali mutton, my mind goes to mutton kosha or even homemade mutton and Bengalis love potatoes in mutton which it did not have. So I wouldn't rate this at 5. I will give it 3 just for the mutton pieces. It wasn't chewy, unlike other restaurants. Bengali seafood stew - Again why is it Bengali?? Just adding peas doesn't make the food Bengali. In Bengal, prawn/shrimp curry is famous but it's mostly malaikari. But this was very salty and bland. So I would give a 1. It's expensive as well. Chicken Biryani - Noooo. How can you mess that up!! It was too much spice and not the authentic Indian biryani taste. At least nothing like we get in Bengal or Chennai or north India. Hard pass on biryani. Chocolate lava cake - It was good. So overall I will say it's very expensive. Quantity is enough for two people. But don't know if our 2 hr drive was worth it. read more

Love to go there for lunch. They have a diverse and great selection of entrees. Appetizers are great to share first

Our first time here and We ordered take out and got the Chicken Biyrani. To be honest this dish wasn't as flavorful as other places we've eaten at in the area. Some kind of flavor was missing it didn't taste like biryani and was a bit plain. Would come back to try other dishes. Maybe because of this quarantine dishes are prepared properly or have been made rushed is my assumption read more

The food is astoundingly delicious and perfectly cooked. We love the ambience, as it's very lively. The folks there are so helpful and offer great service!

Yummy food. Seems authentic. Nice atmosphere. One of the best Indian restaurants in the area

Lame, no idea about the fo*d because I'll never go here! I called the other day to ask if they had a few specific dishes while driving. Guy on the phone wanted to tell me "We are living in a world of technology so look online" if I had time to go to your janky half assed website I would have dude! You lost your owners or yourself $50 and a new potential customer! I recommend PRIYA in Lowell MA! Little bit of a drive but they are THE BEST Indian food in MA! And they have lots of dishes this place and many others don't in RI! I know this because I called almost every place in the area asking the same questions and I got all great answers and really nice people! This place is clearly just too lazy and unprofessional to train their employees correctly! Again go to any other place in the area or take the ride to PRIYA and you will be the most satisfied. As a business owner myself, I don't do business with people that can't take a simple phone call. read more

Loved this place . Such a cute little restaurant . My best friend & I visited providence for a weekend and came across this gem . We wanted Indian buffet but settled for an Indian thali. It was perfect. A little bit of everything . We also order samosas which were amazing . We came back the next day to do a take out order from this place . I loved their outdoor seating area with bright colors and throw pillows . So warm and welcoming . read more

My mother got us takeout from here and it was absolutely amazing. I had never been before so I was open to anything, and their menu was full of different good options to choose from. The people inside were nice and it was quick enough to pick-up. I think next time I'll have to eat in, because it looked so nice and comfortable inside. We both got a masala chicken over basmati (one medium and one hot) and let me tell you they delivered on everything. It was the perfect spice for each dish, and the flavor was impeccable. You can just taste all the different delicious things that went into the meal. I also got a garlic cilantro naan that went with it perfectly. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to try Indian cuisine, as it definitely exceeded my expectations. read more

Rasoi is my favorite Indian restaurant in Rhode Island and I've been to quite a few different ones. While Rasoi may not be the fanciest, and while their service isn't top notch like some other Indian restaurants, their food definitely makes up for it. Their cauliflower 65 is to die for. My absolute favorite appetizer probably anywhere. It is the only time you will ever catch me eating cauliflower. The cauliflower is fried to perfection in the most tastiest sauce ever. Some of my other favs include their Chana masala, dal, and phirni dessert. All so yummy! They also have a vegan buffet on Saturdays that I try to go to whenever I can. There's a buffet Sunday as well for non-vegans. read more

For starters, the cocktails were top notch. I got the Tamarind Margarita and my fiancée got the Cardamom and Pear Martini. Both were creative but well- balanced. The grilled chicken tikka was solid, but the garlic naan and saag paneer were really excellent. The service was great as well. We'll definitely be back! read more

I gave Rasoi a try the other night after a quick Yelp search for Indian food nearby. I saw good reviews for the Cauliflower 65 and that was what made me pick them. It did not disappoint! Cauliflower 65 was awesome, and the chicken korma I had was good, just a little less sweet than I am used to. Food was a little pricey, but most Indian is. I would definitely go again and try some of their other dishes! read more

Their covid pickup system is poorly organized and puts people in danger. We are all standing right outside the restaurant with no clear lines for distance. No one on the phone can tell me where I am supposed to wait- I understand the term curbside pickup to mean that I can stay in my car, but Rasoi thinks we should all be standing in the same space waiting for our food. If we were in a building instead of standing in the parking lot this wouldn't be allowed. Order delivery but don't order pickup for the time being. Also my food was over 10 minutes late even though I ordered two hours ahead. TLDR: unsafe read more

Used to come here a lot as a kid and get the Nirvana dish which a sampling of a few dishes and a bowl of rice. Came back recently and noticed it wasn't on the menu. Apparently the server had forgotten to give us that part of the menu. We order the cauliflower appetizer and Nirvana entree with brown rice. The food arrives and the cauliflower is good, and the Nirvana is decent. The servings were fairly small for what we paid and they gave us white rice instead of brown. Unfortunately, I don't think we'd come back since there are better tasting and cheaper options nearby like Not Just Snacks which also has much larger servings. I did appreciate the constant refills on water and the extremely personable staff. There's also a great atmosphere, they open up the huge windows which is nice. The drinks are also really interesting and reasonably priced so perhaps I'll have to check that out later. read more

Went here for brunch buffet and unfortunately their interpretation of healthier vegan options meant less flavor and spices. not that many entrees to choose from and there were no dessert or appetizer options like samosas. I guess the point is for you to order more off the menu but it was so small and disappointing. read more

I went here for lunch yesterday. The food looks like Indian food but doesn't taste like one. Please go here only if you are desperate

My absolute favorite place. Always start with their Cauliflower 65 and 9/10 times I get Thali. Their service is impeccable, plenty of food options with detailed descriptions so you know exactly what you are getting. I also love that they have a parking lot, so I am not worrying about street parking like some other places in Providence. I have gone 10+ times now and have only had good experiences. I'll definitely be back! read more

If you are new to Indian food - this is the place to go to! They offer tasting menus so you can try various items on the menu - this trip tried the winter tasting menu and it was worth it - don't forget the Naan- gosh that Naan bread is Devine! read more

Hello my fellow Indian food lovers! Rasoi provided top notch flavors. Heavily delivered with the saag paneer , it was so tasty and perfect moisture. The chicken in the red/Orange sauce is named in the photographs and it was beyond what I could imagine in flavor. I chose medium heat and it was not very spicy, I eat lots of spice so it was a pleasant surprise to eat without a runny nose. Highly recommend the potato side and the samosas, chefs kiss. The garlic and cilantro naan was not fully cooked and had a very doughy and stringy consistency, other than that 10/10 would recommend. read more

Delicious every time and great service. We love rasoi! Highly recommend the cauliflower 65

Always great food whether carry out or eat in. Great selection of wonderfully seasoned options.

Came back again since the owners reached out and got the tandoori chicken again and the Bengali goat curry along with some garlic naan. I have to say, I really do love their tandoori chicken, its always so flavorful and tender while being hearty all together. The goat curry was pretty good, some of the goat seemed to be very fatty or just bones and I need to learn what dishes don't have huge cardamon pods in them because it always leaves an unpleasant taste in my mouth but the overall flavor of the curry was quite delicious. The garlic naan is normally my weakness but it was holding up this time around. I still want to come for the buffet one morning for brunch to just be able to try everything they have to offer. Thanks again read more

One of the best Indian restaurants I've been to. We loved the chili shrimp and chicken Korma.
