The latter is excellent but best shown off by a simple grilled dish here the complex curry sauce overwhelmed it. Nice combo of onion rings and squid.Ĭhettinadu Lamb Curry, altho we feel the better rice with it would be jasmine rather than the coconut rice we received. Very rarely do we get served a properly juicy chicken except at very high end restaurants (although Daughter Thai/Oakland does a fine job with their Hat Yai dish).īlack and White Calamari.

But it always is, these days, courtesy of super-salmonella scares. Is Rasa worth 1 star? When you compared it to the vast majority of generic curry houses, especially with the growing trend to make the food ever sweeter and more like dessert than dinner - yes, they probably are if only as an example of “you too could do this if you’d stop being content to serve slop for cheap prices.”Ĭurry Leaf Chicken (Indian McNuggets), altho chicken was overcooked a bit. The Indian sauces were amazing and beautifully balanced, even when paired together the flavors remained distinct, not muddled. Taj’s housemade Indian breads are hands-down, THE BEST bread we have had since Cyrus/Healdsburg closed up shop. The kitchen definitely has the chops to do something more daring, but doubt their clientele would support it. Tried Taj Campton Place and thought it was basically great CA cuisine with a few Indian touches. Sadly we don’t get into SF or the Peninsula much, so we haven’t tried the newest upscale Indian fusion places. Looks from your photo as if Rasa has widened/changed the menu, which is good. Better quality ingredients and more complex spicing is what we look for. We visited in March 2016 and liked it quite a bit.
