Rasoi was a great experience, everything super fresh and tasty, and also very affordable prices,…read moreespecially considering the portions. A really good choice when traveling in Vienna if you get a craving for Indian food. I came here with my brother, his wife and their 2 kids, and the bill, including drinks and dessert, was less than €100. We had enough leftovers to eat the next day.
Among all of us, we had the samosas, which were fantastic: large, freshly cooked and excellent flavor. I had the chicken tikka masala, and my brother too, while my sister in law had the muttar paneer, which she absolutely loved. I really liked the chicken tikka as well - it was rich, spicy and abundant. I highly recommend it. We ordered 2 sides of rice and it is a LOT, same with the naan, it was a LOT of naan, both also very good. The presentation of the dishes is cool - I got mine in a small copper pan atop a small candle that kept it warm.
I tried a sip of the mango lassi and a bit of the rice pudding. The lassi was tasty but I was disappointed with the rice pudding because even though the flavor was good (cinnamon and cardamom and vanilla, yum!), the texture was not right. It was more a liquid than pudding, I didn't like that.
The service was alright - I'm not a good judge because I'm used to US servers who are working for tips, but our server was fine. Make sure you ask for water because you'll need it if you order something spicy, and if you're used to ice water, make sure you specify that too. Our server spoke English, so I didn't struggle at all.
I enjoyed the decor. There is a bar and a "quick kebab" takeout side. Writing this review made me hungry for this food !
