Korma and Tikka Masala Chicken with rice
Beth K.

We got this thought door dash and it came well wrapped and still pretty warm! The portion were very big. The online ordering was very easy . We definitely want to go to the restaurant next time!

Does this look Shahi Paneer to anyone?

After a tiring day I placed a delivery order of my usual Entrée of Shahi Paneer today and I was very disappointed by the food. Their customer service has always been bad and today it went over the top leading me to leave this review. The Shahi Paneer was looking very different from last several times I ordered from them. It was having crushed / shredded cheese instead of of cheese cubes. So I called the store. The owner confirmed to me that that the Shahi Paneer should have cheese cubes. The owner was not willing to offer me a refund or send the correct item since it was a delivery order. She showed a lot of disbelief and wanted me to come back to the store for verification of the item. Alert !! Do not eat here.

They should know what they're offering
G R.

I want to be clear that this was a customer service issue. Not the food, I did enjoy the food. I ordered through Uber Eats, and yes I did send an inquiry to them also. I read the reviews of Rasoi and got excited people seemed to like the food overall, and they had a special through Postmates which is ran by Uber. Right on the site, it said, buy one get one free, good deal, right? Well I put in 2 thinking I needed to cover the quantity, then it charged double so I went back and edited it to one. I ordered both of the buy one get one items. Only to get my order and get none of the "free" items. So I called to inquire, and was asked if it was Uber Eats, I said yes, she was irritated and said if it says one, you get one. Well, I asked don't you know you're running the special? People are mentioning it on Yelp, so you must know? It's your restaurant after all. At best they could have called to check. Maybe I should have went back and put in two, and seen if they did a final adjustment. Or, next to the buy one get one free, mention you must enter two. I know this might be an Uber thing. However, I still maintain, they know what the special is, and that the order came from Uber and is advertised that way, because people are order it and have received it. It's not as if the order dropped out of the sky. Instead, she raised her voice at me stating that it was from Uber. I get it, Uber takes a cut and I usually order directly so the business doesn't lose money, but it was an attractive special so I thought they're trying to get some business. I may have skipped trying the place if it weren't for the special. Now I won't go back because of the way they handled it. It's really too bad, because this place is a walk away from my STL place and I love Indian food. I guess I'll get my fix when I'm in Chicago.

Onion Naan Bread
Paul K.

Have to be honest here, wasn't very impressed with the food on my recent visit. Got a few dishes for takeout: 1) Chicken Tikka Masala (2/5), not sure if this was an off day but the chicken (especially the larger pieces) were extremely dry. 2) Chicken Makhani (3.5/5), this was much better than the Tikka in terms of the chicken quality. While still not super juicy, it was much less dry than the other dish. The masala was a little on the sweet side for my taste 3) Onion Naan (4/5), kind of expensive for just one piece of naan ($4) but it was tasty. Wish there were even more onions in it. 4) Vegetable Pakora, fried vegetable fritters, pretty good flavor, would taste best fresh out of the fryer I'm sure. Good value at $5. 4) rice was well done, no complaints there Overall, would not order the tikka masala again, but would consider chicken Makani again if I was in the mood for Indian food. This place is decent for STL standards but not nearly as good as places known for good Indian cuisine such as the Bay Area in California.

Palak Paneer and Garlic Naan
Marty D.

there are not enough words in the human language to tell you how delicious this was. the girl naan was phenomenal, the perfect flakey yet doughy texture, packed to the 10s with garlic. I usually go for saag when ordering Indian food but I def have a new favorite. the palak paneer was so incredible. it was creamy, hearty, loved the crunch of the peas. my mouth is watering thinking about it. heaven

Naan, veg samosas, tikka masala, chutneys
McKena S.

Okay, I'm between three and four stars because a couple things went wrong but we will get to that in a second. We ordered vegetable samosas which included two chutneys, mango chutney, roti, and chicken tikka masala. First, I want to start with the good. Rasoi was doing an INSANE deal on Postmates offering buy 1, get 1 free of the chicken tikka masala and veg samosas. The veg samosas were SO good and the chutneys that came with it were awesome. Generous portions too! I loved both chutneys. I tried the mango chutney but it was a bit too sweet for me. My partner loved it though. The naan (lol they did not send us roti like we ordered) was really delicious. Perfectly moist and large portions, but I wish it was roti. The chicken in the tikka masala was great and a generous portion. I have had some seriously bad chicken at different Indian restaurants in the area so this was refreshing. OK so the bad. Well, like I mentioned before, we got naan instead of roti. Also, the tikka masala was SO sweet. I have no idea if this was intentional or not but I had a lot of trouble eating it. I'm hoping I can doctor it a bit to salvage it but I don't have high hopes. I'm pretty sad the main dish was almost inedible. I definitely want to come back and try different dishes becuase of how great the naan and veg samosas were, just hoping for less sweet dishes next time.

Oh my god i am never the type to write a review but this place is PERFECT when you're craving a savory flavor-packed hot meal. The prices were reasonable and the portion size was huge. Cant recommend enough. Just look at the color of that sauce

a restaurant with tables and chairs
Tikku G.

Amidst the COVID crisis, I had to grab some take-out from Rasoi as opposed to dining it. I've been here before and it's my go-to Indian food place here in St. Louis. Of course it doesn't beat my momma's food but can't imagine I'd find a place that does. The food was ready within 15 minutes of ordering. My favorite dish is the lamb biriyani and I make it extra spicy. It comes with a side of yogurt that complements the dish well. The biriyani is flavored very well and the lamb rips apart easily. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking to satisfy your Indian food craving!

I came in a little after they opened for dinner and was warmly greeted. I was surprised at how small it was inside but the lack of space made up for it in the delicious food. Since I've come the last two weeks and unsuccessfully I might add, I knew which entree I wanted to try. Once I sat down and looked at the drink menu to order, I found out they only served the buffets on Sunday! Whoops! I decided to stay since I came this far. Drink wise, I got the passion fruit Batida but with no milk. As I made my way up to the buffet, I was amazed at everything that was out. I managed to get quite a few things on my plate but didn't want it be overflowing as not to waste food. Some of the things weren't labeled, so I had to make an educated guess and hope for the best. I really enjoyed the fried grouper, plantains, and pasta with white sauce. The other things were good too but weren't labeled. I didn't eat very much but got full pretty quickly. As I went up to pay, the head chef asked how I liked everything and offered a complimentary shot. I ended up staying and talking with the staff and had the best time. I def enjoyed the food and warmth of the staff as it's something you don't always find. I can't wait to come back in a regular day to try more dishes.

I'm not sure if there under new management or what the story is but AVOID AT ALL COSTS, the food was SCARY cold im not sure it was safe to eat. Only redeeming factor is the place is clean and well decorated, good ambiance, horrible experience will never return, would give it 0 stars if I could.

TLDR: Good Food, But A Lot of Red Flags…read more I had been wanting to try Shabu Day for a while and finally made it out. The food was honestly really good -- but there is a lot this place needs to fix before I can fully recommend it. The first thing that hit me when I walked in was the smell. And not in a good way. It smelled like a sewer. Not what you want when you are about to sit down and eat. It lingered the entire time we were there and was really hard to get past. The front of the restaurant looks okay at first glance. But once you sit down you start noticing things. The tables are wobbly and clearly rigged up with makeshift fixes. Extension cords are running visibly across the floor which looks bad and feels unsafe. The menus and sauce bottles were sticky -- like they had not been wiped down in a long time. Little things like that add up fast. I caught a glimpse of the back of the house and it looked grimy and dirty. That is a problem at any restaurant, but especially at a place where you are cooking your own food right at the table. The staff were not very welcoming either. They were hard to find when you needed something and did not seem very interested in making sure you were having a good time. Now here is the thing -- the food was actually fresh and delicious. The broth was flavorful and the ingredients were good quality. That part genuinely impressed me. But for the price they are charging? The total package is just not there yet. Good food can only carry a restaurant so far. They need to clean things up -- literally -- before I come back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ UPDATE: One more thing worth mentioning that I think is really important. Shabu Day is strictly all you can eat -- and that is the only option they offer. For most people that is fine. But for anyone with a medical condition that limits how much they can eat, this format is a serious problem. You are being charged full all you can eat prices for food you physically cannot consume in that quantity. That is not fair and it is not inclusive. A lot of restaurants in this space offer a la carte or smaller portion options for exactly this reason. Shabu Day should do the same. It is a simple change that would make a big difference for a lot of people and would show that they actually care about all of their customers -- not just the ones who can eat the most. Clean things up, fix the smell, train your staff to be more welcoming, and give people a fair way to order. The foundation is there. Now build on it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
