Another great meal at Rasoi! My stomach was a bit unsettled, so I went for what I think of as Indian comfort food...idli sambar, lentils, rice, and saag. A meal for me is not complete without a Rasoi green salad.
Rasoi RestaurantResponded on 18 November 2024
Hello Deborah. Thank you so much for your kind words. We appreciate your thoughtful idea about Hibiscus Ginger Tea. We’re always looking to enhance our menu, and we’ll certainly pass it along to our team for consideration. Your feedback and support mean the world to us. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! 🙏

Tried the new Saturday vegan thali, which has replaced the buffet. I've enjoyed the Saturday vegan buffet for years and was eager to try this new dish. I was not disappointed! It includes some of my favorites, such as sambar and uttapem as well as new items like a vegan korma. There was no vegan dessert available so I was able to substitute vegan naan, a great swap, imo. The lemon basmati rice was absolutely delicious! I ordered my usual Rasoi green salad, which made for a bit too much food for me. I'll have the thali again, happily, but will probably skip the salad...or maybe Rasoi can offer a smaller salad on weekends?
Rasoi RestaurantResponded on 12 November 2024
Hello Deborah, Thank you for sharing your experience with the new Saturday vegan thali! We're so glad you enjoyed the dish and that it included some of your favorites. We’re also happy to hear the lemon rice hit the mark! Your feedback about the salad is really helpful, and we’ll definitely consider offering a smaller option on weekends. We look forward to having you back to try more delicious dishes soon!

The Chef-Entrepreneur is amazing and has been consistently improving the food, service and ambience. You don’t see many such restaurants around the Boston area. It’s a tough business to be in and the pandemic threw a huge wrench on top of it. These guys are amazing!

Our team is committed to bringing you the best in food, service, and ambiance, and it means so much to see that recognized.
