We loved our lunch in Rasa. It’s unique, innovative and delicious….. clearly they are gunning for the Michelin tier again and my very best so that they can make it ! The place is set up wonderfully between two floors and the decor and table arrangements are lovely.

We ordered the Black & White Calamari and the Chutney Rock Shrimp Uttapam for appetizers and both were outstanding. The uttapam is specially innovative with the shrimp topping and was really delectable. The calamari came with a sweet and sour tamarind chutney that is a unique pairing I have not seen elsewhere. A simple idea but what a twist to the usual calamari , loved it !

We ordered the Duck Biriyani and the Lotus Root Kofta Curry for entree and both were absolutely genius in presentation, taste and aroma. Lastly for dessert we ordered the Chocolate Cremeux and Kesar Pista & Rose Gulkand Kulfi and I was blown away again by the presentation, the combinations and the taste of it all. The Cremeux is a solid chocolate with sprinkling of toasty coffee beans, paired with vanilla ice cream and whiskey jelly. The chocolaty, bitter sweet, crunchy and ice cream all melt in your mouth into a delicious dessert. The Kulfi combo is also amazing, cute donut shapes that my children thoroughly enjoyed !

The service was warm, welcoming and super prompt. Our server was considerate and thoughtfully brought the whiskey jelly separate from the Chocolate Cremeux so that the kids could enjoy. Overall, a wonderful experience, will certainly come back again.

Had a birthday lunch at Rasa and it was a fabulous experience. Our server Jenna gave us a very warm welcome and went above and beyond with our requests. The Sliders and Genovese basil dosa were impeccable and I know they’re gonna be repeat orders for us every time we visit Rasa.
We also tried the Indian Railway Peppers and Lotus Root Kofta Curry with the Kerala Paratha, which were both delicious.

We were so full by the end of the meal that we had to skip dessert. However, since we were celebrating, the staff brought out the most delicious scoop of vanilla bean ice cream with fresh strawberries for us to savor at the end.

We enjoyed every bit of our meal and are already looking forward to our next visit! Kudos to the chef and the staff for making it such a memorable experience for us.

5/5 Stars!

I'm still reeling from the extraordinary dining experience at Rasa in Burlingame, San Francisco! This Indian fusion gem has left me awestruck and craving for more.

The service was impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff who knew the menu inside out. The vibrant ambiance added to the excitement, making it perfect for a night out with friends or family.

Now, onto the main event – the food! We started with the Bombay Sliders (Vada Pav), which were expertly crafted. The crispy exterior gave way to a fluffy, spiced potato filling, all nestled in a soft, slightly sweet bun. It was love at first bite!

The 2-foot Masala Dosa was a showstopper – a masterclass in texture and flavor. The dosa itself was crispy and delicate, wrapped around a generous serving of spiced potatoes, onions, and chutneys. The sambar, served on the side, was a revelation – rich, tangy, and expertly balanced.

We also tried the Butter Paneer Combo, which was decadently rich and creamy. The paneer was cooked to perfection, and the buttery sauce added a luxurious touch.

But the pièce de résistance was the desserts! The Kulfi was creamy and indulgent, with a perfect balance of cardamom and sweetness. And the Chocolate Mousse Cake? Light, airy, and infused with a deep, rich chocolate flavor.

In short, Rasa is a game-changer. The chef's innovative approach to Indian cuisine, combined with impeccable service and a lively atmosphere, makes for a truly unforgettable dining experience. Don't miss out on this gem – book your table now and get ready to be amazed!

Went here for dinner after reading that it's a Michelin starred restaurant expecting an interesting experience.

We had a booking for 6:15. Got seated right away on time. We ordered a few drinks. The names were interesting! We got some - Sir Rajni and another non-alcoholic lemonade (forgot the name!) Sir Rajni was interesting, but to me it tasted like an Old Fashioned. We also got roasted Papad. No complaints with the Lijjat papads.

We then got the White Elephant Butter Paper Dosa, Shepherd's Dosa and Malai Paneer. The Dosas were crispy and decent. The Shepherd's Dosa was interesting in that it came with a lamb keema masala. First time ever for me! The Malai Paneer was decent too. It had layers of Paneer stuffed with spinach. The accompanying rice was flavourful.

All in all, my experience was just okay. Nothing to talk home about. Might come back to try their other stuff.

Came for a nice work lunch and was absolutely blown away. The decor is beautiful and it really feels like they've paid attention to every detail. The service was quick and attentive and the food was fantastic. Got the Shepard's Dosa with spiced minced lamb. It was a perfect size for lunch with many dipping sauces. You could really taste the complexity of the spices and it is no surprise that this place has a Michelin star. This is a great gem in Burlingame!
