Clean environment, deliciously authentic food, fast service and delightful ambience. What is there not to love about this place? I stumbled on the gem of a restaurant and enjoyed the best Chicken Tikka masala. I happen to be a good connoisseur of Indian food by virtue of having studied in India for over 4 years. I’m coming back for the butter chicken next time.
It was our first time here, and Brayan and Olvin made our visit a truly great experience. They took the time to explain how everything works and even recommended some of their personal favorites, which we really appreciated. Their excellent customer service and warm hospitality were a perfect representation of the brand. On top of that, the food was delicious! We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! We also notice they have happy hour which we would love to try.
The food tastes so fresh, and is cooked thoroughly! I loved the I had both chicken and lamb, which was very flavorful. The avocado just right. The coconut sauce, and mint lemonade I loved! I feel much better over all, after having lunch here! Great & healthy wholesome meal.
I had an amazing experience at RASA. The food was absolutely delicious—no complaints at all. The chili chicken bowl was heavenly, and the burritos were light yet still filling. You won’t get the “itis,” but you’ll definitely leave feeling pleasantly plump. The service was just as impressive. Elizabeth gave great suggestions and really helped me pick the perfect burrito and juice combo. Mm, mm, mm… tasty. 10/10!
First time trying Rasa and I was not disappointed. My naan wasn’t quite ready so I started to eat my take out inside the restaurant. The ambiance was relaxing and the taste and portions of the food went above expectations. My naan arrived and I ended up dining in to fully enjoy the Rasa experience. I will be returning.
This was my first time trying RASA and I ordered takeout. Everything was packed well and still hot when I got home. The food was flavorful, fresh, and didn’t feel heavy or greasy. I liked how customizable the bowls are, and the portions were filling. The spices had good flavor without being too much. For a first takeout order, it was a solid experience and I’d definitely order again.
Really delicious fast casual Indian fare. I spent slightly more than I usually do on a fast casual lunch, but only because I couldn't resist the delicious-looking samosas at the counter. Those and a Cauliflower Quinoa bowl 🍜 were more than filling for lunch. Very yummy! I was there on the late side for lunch, and it was a quiet and lovely atmosphere, with pleasant music 🎶😀The only reason for the 4 stars on service is that it felt like the guy at the counter was surprised to see me at that time of day.
Why is this place always empty !? FOOD IS BOMB. Always has been since they opened. And that mango lassi is 10/10. I get something different every time and it never disappoints. PLEASE even if you “don't like” Indian food …. Give it a try.
Amazing service and amazing food. Visited yesterday and destroyed that bowl so fast. Came next day in the morning cus i found some more things to try. Everything was delicious and the staff is the friendliest ive ever met. Love rasa sm
Made a mobile order to pick up in the store for to-go. It located in the same building from CAVA, honeygrow, Xian Famous Foods, Five Guys and others. There were plenty of complementary parking lots surrounding the building. Arrived at the time of promise, and thebags were ready for pickup. The decorations were modern. There were indoor and outdoor seatings. The bowls contained various ingredients as expected.
