| - I was hunting for someplace a bit "different" to take a friend for a belated birthday supper. Natasha K's review of Rasoi convinced me that this place was worth a shot. Indian fusion sounded like it had just enough of a twist.
Monday night turned out to be a great night to head up Marda Loop way. We had no trouble finding a place to park on the street and we had the place to ourselves when we first walked into Rasoi.
The decor was clean and trendy, the lighting wasn't too dim or too bright, and our server was just the right amount of friendly without being overwhelming.
We perused the menu for a bit, but ended up ordering from their Karma Menu. What is a Karma Menu you ask? Well, for $30, you get an appy, an entree and dessert. The menu is set out with two choices for appys, same for entrees and then this yummy little Indian doughnut kind of thing to finish it off. The bonus is that once food costs are covered, the extra money made from the Karma Menu is donated to a charity in India. I was in do-gooder heaven.
The best part of the meal was the pakora, although my sweet tooth wants me to say it was the dessert. The beef and veggie entrees we ate ran a very close second.
At first I gave Rasoi four yums up, but the Karma Menu got them their fifth star. It's only running into December though, so definitely try these guys out soon.
