Rasa reviews
The staff were friendly and attentive but the food was really poor. We shared the mixed pickles to start - nothing special... except the raw garlic one - ugh! I had the chicken starter and it tasted of nothing at all and came with a baby food tomato sauce which also tasted of nothing. Then a vegetable curry which was the worst I've eaten in many years. The paratha and rice were OK, but generally speaking the menu is a triumph of pretension and, considering the appalling quality of the food, an insult to the intelligence. Sort it out mate!
by tomolongo, 27 Oct 2007Went to Rasa on Saturday and it was the best curry I've ever had! It was so different to the traditional curry restaurants that I usually go to. The flavours they used were out of this world, none of the food was greasy and I felt pleasantly full afterwards rather than overstuffed. Going to this restaurant made me want to plan a trip to southern India. I will definitely be going back again, hopefully soon!
by TDL, 05 Mar 2007Brilliant Keralan food. If you want to try a bit of everything there's a massive Keralan feast for £16 per head. Well worth it.
by Anonymous, 04 Feb 2007This is the best Indian I have ever tasted. The service is great, always pleasant, and the waiters are full of information about the food (the menu is great too). The smells alone make me salivate. The spices are really fresh and authentic, and the fish dishes have never failed. I love coming here.
by the squirrel, 28 Jan 2007Great food - not your standard Indian as it is Kerala sourced, so you have to spend some time studying the menu. The waiter was very helpful and pointed out better side dishes than we had originally chosen. The lamb stew is amazing, as are the 3 breads that they do. Definitely worth a trip.
by mevans, 02 Oct 2006I can't understand how this restaurant ever merited the Time Out review it bears in its window. The food is fine, if you want a stomach-full of batter (seemingly every dish is deep fried in a not-particularly-pleasant batter). The waitress helped us choose our dishes and frankly I wish I hadn't asked her as they were pretty execrable. Rather reassuringly, I don't see the restaurant as packed out as it used to be.
by food lover (2 reviews), 08 Oct 2005Rasa specialises in Keralan food, which is vegetarian and invariably delicious! The restaurant itself is on the small side and can get crowded, but it's nicely decorated in pink and has a nice atmosphere.
Rasa is definitely worth a special trip.
T, the original place is crowded and intimate with great food.
Have we missed a great restaurant in London? Let us know.
