** I was on my way to Michigan, and decided to rest, overnight and grab dinner here in St Louis ** June 30th 2020 - I walked into India Rasoi and chatted with the person inside, older gentleman, he was quite friendly.. I asked if I can sit outside and eat, - he advised that I couldn't, but I can order online. So, I completed my order online, and picked it up about 40-45 minutes later. The food was so good! I got Channa Masala extra spicy, it was made well, tasted fresh, well spiced, and very spicy as I requested. I also got a naan which was pretty big / decent sized. ** Thank you for spoiling me with great food!!** read more

Being from England where there is an abundance of Indian restaurants, I have struggled to find a decent one since moving to St. Louis 3 years ago. This place is the BEST Indian I have had here, and is exactly as everything should be. Nothing adjusted to suit American tastes like I have noticed with British foods out here, just authentic delicious Indian food. Samosa's hit the spot and are fried to perfection, and the accompanying dips complimented them excellently. The curries (I had lamb rogan Josh, she had chicken curry) were spicy, even at the mild level my fiancé had which is exactly how curries should be! The drinks were nice and I was happy to see Kingfisher on the menu! The server was extremely friendly and attentive. I will definitely be here again to hit that curry and a beer spot I have missed since moving here from England! Try it, you won't be disappointed. read more

I cannot rave about this place enough. I called and asked for a special off menu Indian Dish and they were more than happy to make it for me. Absolutely superb service and food. I will definitely be returning! read more

Omg! This was awesome people, order it! I am very familiar with Indian food and asked for something "Indian Hot" and boy did I get it! Spicy yet flavorful food. Thanks Rasoi! read more

Literally so miserably salty I could not even eat more than a few bites of it and I was STARVING. I got carry out so I was stuck with my unfortunate meal choice (chicken tikka masala and veggie Samosas). It was $25 very poorly spent. Would not recommend the food here at all. However the only reason I am giving 2 stars instead of one is because the hostess/waitress/manager (not sure) was exceptionally nice and when I called to complain after getting home and attempting to eat my inedible meal, she offered to give me a new one if I came back tomorrow (since I was definitely not willing to drive back tonight). I'm not sure if I'll be in the mood for this dish anytime soon after this experience, but it's good to know they at least care about the quality of your experience and are willing to right their wrongs. read more

Rasoi - Just gross ... Salty AF - Indian Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Classy place in downtown. Very large place where one can host party and get together. Good food and good quantity. When we reached there the place was booked for a private party still they managed to accommodate us. But the service could have been better. It was slow and we had to ask for refills, sugar and everything. read more

An excellent Indian establishment! I stopped in for dinner on a Monday night and decided to try a new entree (I'm a big Indian food fan). I got vegetable pakora for an appetizer and chicken Karahi for an entree with plain naan. The pakora were delicious (not too heavy, very well seasoned), and my entree was great - flavorful and nicely spicy. The naan was MASSIVE and freshly baked. Attentive service, great decor, and awesome prices - I paid $25 with tip and have enough leftovers for at least one more meal. Highly recommended! read more

Confused, cold and lost a hungry boy named Aaron B stumbled into India Rasoi after he couldn't get his favorite Bento Box next door because Kampai closes at 2:00. I walked here with the legendary Aimee K and was dazzled by the wonderful lunch buffet. I scarfed down two whole plates. I literally wasn't hungry the entire day. In fact, I kept thinking to myself "I wish I ate less" with every step I took. The rice, fried veggie item, and tikka masala were all amazing. I tried a couple other items that I don't know the name of and was seriously blown away by all the wonderful flavors. I'm not super knowledgeable of Indian food, but I loved what I got here and would come back in a second. The buffet was fantastic. I think it was around 11 a person? I can't remember but a fantastic deal. 5/5 would make the same mistake again. read more

This food is so delicious. We order every time we are visiting St. Louis for medical appointments. We love the butter chicken, malai kofta and lamb curry. Garlic naan to go with. Highly recommend read more

Rasoi has become one of our favorite restaurants during COVID. The food is delicious..lots of vegetarian options that even my omnivore husband likes...and the portions are huge. We can order a few entrees and eat off them for several days. So yummy. Highly recommend the garlic cheese naan as a side to your entrees. The matar paneer is my favorite entree. :) read more

This is mind-boggling good. We went for my birthday on a Tuesday night and it was definitely a local favorite we could tell. We got the feast for 2 which was amazing and worth every dollar. Can't wait to go again! read more

I've never ordered off the menu at Rasoi. I've always either had the lunch buffet when I've gone to the restaurant or we get it catered at work every so often. I'm a fan of the Tandoori chicken and rice pudding in particular. Indulge in the buffet responsibly if you have to go back to work - you're going to need a nap about an hour later otherwise! read more

I love the Indian food here. The meat is fantastic quality. And out of all Indian food I've had Rasoi is my favorite place. The spices and flavors in each dish are so yummy. It's a bit expensive but pre-covid there was a buffet. read more

The service was subpar, food was tasty, but I won't be back due to how I was treated. I was questioned with a rude tone about why I wanted to eat Indian food. Is it that surprising that a black woman wants Indian food? Did not feel welcomed, did not seem like they wanted my business. I was told I had to sit at the counter to wait for my food, in a controlling tone. I paid for the food and chose to wait outside and call a friend, and told the guy at the bar I would be back. When I came back in to get my order I was asked by a different guy if I had paid. I said yes, and was questioned again, by the same guy, who asked again if I had paid. Very strange service. read more

Ok, so I LOVE Indian food...It's my favorite! I've been to Rasoi twice now and I'm ready to review. Indian cuisine is one of the few that I can say I'm somewhat an expert in (At least Norther Indian cuisine). I know it from traveling there and also living in London where Indian food is more common than fish and chips. I should start out by saying Rasoi features North Indian food, featuring many Punjabi dishes. So for those of you saying you were disappointed because it wasn't spicy (hot) enough....well its not supposed to be! Not all Indian food is spicy hot. The basic rule I've always hear is that the farther south in India, the spicier the food. The most impressive thing for me was that I've requested two things that weren't on the menu and they were easily able to accommodate. On my first visit, I immediately looked for Peshawari Nann on the menu and of course it wasn't there. It never seems to be on the menu of many Indian restaurants in America for some reason. I was pleasantly surprised when I asked for it and they said no problem! Peshawari nann is your standard flatbread with nuts and raisins mixed in. Rasoi's version was decent, but they get points for making it for me. On my second visit, I noticed that they didn't have saga aloo (curried spinach and potatoes) and again they had no problem accommodating. Of course I ordered a samosa for a starter. I love samosas...or sambosas or what ever you want to call it. Samosas are popular around the world in various forms, but basically consist of a fried pastry stuffed with anything from spicy veggies to meats. I had the veggie one at Rasoi which was stuffed with spiced potatoes, onions, peas and other good stuff. It was a good average to above average samosa, fresh and crisp. It came with 3 sauces, a sweet onion tomato, BBQ-ish sauce, and the best one being the mint cilantro. My friends and I shared various dishes on our visits. The prawn angarey dish wasn't bad (about 8 medium sized shrimp). The shrimps are marinated in yogurt, red chilies and cilantro, then grilled. It was good, but maybe just a tad bit overcooked. Meth malai mutter is spinach, peas and fenugreek leaves cooked in a creamy sauce and it was nice. The chana masala (chickpeas & sauce) and the chicken tikka masala are both nice. Note that chicken tike masala is the national dish of the UK...not fish and chips...I think thats so funny! Another dish that we really enjoyed was the chicken vindaloo. It's not considered punjabi but it was the best vindaloo I've ever had. Usually vindaloos are so spicy hot that they make you sweat, however this was a milder version which allowed the delicious non-hot spices to stand out. The paratha aloo wasn't bad either. Paratha is another type of indian flat bread that is usually stuffed with something like potatoes (aloo). It is greasy...but thats how they always are. I almost felt like I was in Amritsar again. I prefer using the breads like naan and paratha to scoop up the delicious sauces. The drink menu seems to be quite creative with some unique drinks. I can't seem to order anything other than a Kingfisher beer though. It's a stander below average beer from India, but I guess I have this emotional connection with it. The atmosphere is nice and I especially liked the indian pop music that was playing and the Indian music videos on TV. I felt like I was in Delhi again with the music videos playing. You might want to make reservations on the weekend. It was easy to get in on my weeknight visit, but on my Friday night visit, there was a long wait. We opted to sit at the bar and eat there which was just fine since there were only two of us. We were told that Rasoi is developing a late night menu featuring some Indian-fusion dishes from a new chef. I got a sneak peek at the menu and cant wait to try it! Overall, I'd recommend Rasoi, the food was on par with most Indian restaurants I've been to in London, and maybe even some of ones in India. read more

We ate here for the first time last night, New Years Eve, around 8 PM. The restaurant is very pretty and modern. We sat at the small bar and had a drink before dinner... they have an interesting selection of martinis and we tried a flight of 3, all of which we liked. We sat at a booth and then moved to a table because of the cold coming from the door. It was still freezing. We noticed several other people move to tables farther back in the restaurant, and a couple people wearing coats. They really need to find a way to fix this problem. The food was OK. Not great. We ordered samosas, naan, palak paneer, chicken tikka masala and vegetable korma. Everything was good, but not great. We talked during dinner about the other STL Indian restaurants that we think have better food: India Palace, Ruchi and House of India. The food is definitely overpriced for the portion sizes, but I think you're paying for the atmosphere and location. Our waiter looked frazzled and was not very friendly. We ordered a samosa when we sat down, just to have an appetizer while reading the menu, and he said "that's it??!". I thought he was going to fall over. [I explained we'd be ordering dinner in a few minutes. lol.] When he brought the food, he brought both plain and garlic naan... we explained that we only ordered plain, and he asked us if we want the garlic anyway. We said we'd be happy to taste it even though we didn't order it. Of course it was on the bill and we had to ask to have it removed. Overall, this was an underwhelming experience. I suppose I would be willing to try their lunch buffet sometime, but this place just made me yearn for Ruchi read more

YUM! Best Indian in town- I had a meal with 6 people and we ate almost everything on the menu (well not almost, but close!) The chicken tikka was incredible- we had leftovers and they were devoured the next day. The Lamb Shank Korma was also to die for- the flavors were out of this world. I had a shrimp dish that was great once I dunked my shrimp in a little sauce. All of the sides: cauliflower, eggplant and mixed vegetables were excellent. The garlic naan was doughy but delicious...just the way I like naan! I will be back- It's amazing indian food. YUMMO! read more

I live in NYC and have had the good fortune experiencing excellent Indian cuisine (not just Manhattan, but especially Jackson Heights in Queens). My boyfriend, who lives in the St. Louis area, came to visit a few months back and experienced Indian food for the first time and fell in love with it. So when I came to visit St. Louis about a week ago to celebrate my birthday, we decided to check out Rasoi based upon the good reviews. Because of living in the foodie capital of the world, I was cautiously optimistic. Well, we have found a little oasis in Mid-America. It was an extremely cold midwest night and entering Rasoi we were greeted with the Hindu goddess Annapurna-given aromas of cumin and chilies and a warm smile from the chef in kitchen view. The decor is hip, funky, and fun. It was packed, and even though it was a Saturday, this was not expected the day after New Years. With reservations, we were seated promptly. We had a cozy corner seat. Lighting was perfect - enough to see the extensive menu, dim enough to not have to wonder if you needed that extra coat of mascara. We ordered the traditionals - veggie samosa, chicken tikka marsala, and malai kofta. The true test was could they make it spicy enough for these seasoned taste buds? The veggie samosa was good - could have had more veggies than just the standard potato filler, but the accompanying dipping sauces helped make up for that. The entrees were as tasty as one would find in a good Indian restaurant in NYC, exceptional in St. Louis, where such ethnic restaurants are gems to treasure. Basmati rice was done right, the spice level of the entree sauces met our standards accordingly without being overpowering. The chicken was tender and flavorful. Service was attentive without being overwhelming. Our water glasses were kept filled without asking. My boyfriend had informed Rasoi it was my birthday when making the reservation. Half-way through our dinner, the manager, a lovely man, came to our table and wished my a Happy Birthday and had his signature chocolate martini sent over. Omg - sin in a glass. And for dessert we indulged in a decadent mango creme brulee. Note (good) Indian food is very satisfying, and very filling. Take your time and savor it. Done right, you will be full half-way though your entrees - take the remaining home and save it for the next day - like we did - for breakfast! The spices take on a whole other nuance! Thank you Rasoi for a lovely birthday dinner to remember! read more

Always enjoy my food from Rasoi. The entrees are consistent and very flavorful. The staff cares deeply about serving good food and takes the minor modifications I ask for each time. I have tried several Indian restaurants in a few cities and this one is top of list. read more

Malai Kofta!!! Thats what my friend had last time. Its like meatballs but made of vegetables. Actually I did'nt like them that much. Its the sauce that rocks. and its fantastic with the garlic naan. Service was just okay - our waiter tried relentlessly to upsell us on everything, which was super annoying and made me feel cheap for having no drinks, no apps, no dessert. I just want to eat, man! read more

Have been here before but have never reviewed! I only go here for lunch so I am not sure what the menu looks like and what you can order. The lunch buffet is great! For $12.07 you get all you can eat delusions Indian food and all the greatness that comes from it! The chicken is amazing and everything taste so darn good! The wait staff is super friendly and nice and the place is super clean! If your looking for a great lunch head to Rasoi and you won't be disappointed!!! read more

AFTER coming in at 10:20PM (which I had been told that it would be fine to come in this time), my boyfriend and I had been seated by a nice waiter. The incredibly RUDE manager walked up to our table and continued to yell at me and my boyfriend for coming in so late. Flabbergasted by the lack of respect and insolence, there was absolutely no way we were going to even consider staying there for dinner. Never have I felt so disrespected by an establishment. You can definitely count me out for ever eating at this restaurant. read more

Indian food. One of my favorite most versatile cuisines along with Chinese food. Could survive my whole life due to the 2.5 billion people and vast subvarieties. Anyway, most Indian food ends up a 4 star and this is no exception. Buffet style, the lunch time buffet is a steal for 12. The tandoori chicken is above average, so is the fish offering and gulab jamun. Its yhe best I've had in the USA so far. The naan is also excellent , lighter and fluffier than many other places. Works well for those of you on low carb diets. Absolutely decadent and you will have a food coma after stuffing yourselves. read more

It's as elegant an Indian restaurant as any I've visited. The buffet wasn't the largest I've seen, but each and every item was excellent. Our server was attentive, and the selection of hot tea was nice. I liked it very much! read more

I'm not a fan of Rasoi for multiple reasons. My largest reason is the size versus price trade-off. A $13-16 item of the menu is not nearly enough for one person. Traditionally, Indian food isn't eaten that way, either. You get multiple items which are shared among the table (ie that Tandoori chicken isn't just for you, it's for everyone). So if you have a table of 5 people, you find yourself having to order 8-9 items just to have enough food. When all's said and done, you're looking at $40 per person at the end of the night. That would be ok if this was the best Indian food in the city. But it's not. Within the city, I can think of three other restaurants with better food. I can't place my finger on one specific dish or one specific reason the food's not great. It's just...unimpressive. An upside is the buffet, which I've only been to once. It has good variety and they restock pretty frequently. The interior decoration is well done, though I feel the same CD is playing on repeat and I find myself hearing the same Bollywood song playing a few times. read more

Great food pathetic customer service if you are going with good friends or family for weekend dinner just avoid it you would repent the customer service you receive read more

I can only comment on the buffet, but I will be back for the "sit down" experience. Being the first people in the door, I'm always afraid of the staff running around preparing, rather than paying attention to us. No need to worry - the staff was very attentive, even after I nearly took out the fellow with the water pitcher on my mad rush to the buffet. The food is definitely worth the price -- as noted by others, the chicken tikka masala is excellent, as is the fluffy naan. Oh, the tandoori chicken is excellent as well. I know there was a veggie dish that was good as well (but like somebody else wrote, the meatballs were meh - tasted more like TVP than meat) read more

I'm so glad I ignored all the whiny reviews about small portions. Newsflash, people: we've had ethnic restaurants in the USA for a while. Sure, maybe they served abundant portions at first, using "bang for your buck" to reel you in so you would try something unfamiliar. All of that is over now. We all know Indian food rocks. You want piles of food? Hit the Shoney's buffet line. Tonight I had the Vegetable Samosas, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Garlic Naan. All were delicious and the portion was large enough I was able to save half (okay, maybe 40%) of my meal for the next day. I also had a Mango Lassi for dessert, which was bright and wonderful. So glad Rasoi is just a nice stroll or quick bike ride away. read more

My credentials: At least 15+ visits to both the new and old Rasoi CWE locations and even the one in Clayton back in the day. Many visits to other Indian places in the city on the regular My Verdict: Rasoi does have the best decor in the Indian restaurant realm here in STL. This is the Indian buffet that I frequent most in the city. This does not mean that it is the best. Location is key as to why I frequent this establishment. The food is good, but some days are better then others. Enough to earn 4 stars from me. However (this is just my thing, work with me) Every fucking time, they run out of flat bread on the buffet. I can not tell you how much this makes me want to start my own version of "falling down" with Micheal Douglas. I am sure that I am taking it too far, but I want to F'in flip out on them each and every time. I could discuss this topic longer, but I think you understand. Hence, they lose a star for this simple and correctable fact. read more

very poor service.the food was very low quality. For the starter we ordered a lobster dosa and a kabab sampler. the dosa was soggy not crispy at all.kabab sampler was ok but the portion was very small.the meat pieces were very small. for the main course we ordered some tandoori prawns forgot the name of the dish. the prawns were overcooked felt like rubber.then we had some kharai chicken that was a good dish.malai kofta was very salty.we had somy hydrabadi lamb biriani.which was ok. for the drinks we ordered some mango and strawberry lassi.those were very very sweet felt like drinking suger syrup. I have worked in many indian restaurant and I am from Bangladesh so i have a vast idea about the indian food. Wont go back again in this restaurant.. read more

I have not been to Rasoi for their lunch buffet since they were located in Clayton. I've had dinner at the Laclede Street location many times, but the new Euclid location takes Rasoi to a whole new level. I'm not sure what I can say that hasn't been said about the decor, except that I agree. The beautiful and vivid colors are gorgeous, fresh, and new, yet they still pay homage to the culture and cuisines of India. They have reduced the variety of food that they used to have on the buffet, but it is fresh and yummy. The Chicken TIkka Masala was good, the Vindaloos was tasty and kicked my butt (sweet pain), and the Palak Paneer was great too. The Kheer (rice pudding) could have had more seasoning. It was a wee bland. The only real complaint I had was that the plates weren't cleared on a regular basis and they added 18% gratuity to our bill . 18% is not standard for buffet service. Especially since this buffet service was basically busing service and inadequate busing at that. In addition, one of the members of my group got yelped at by the waiter for setting her plate on an empty table when she needed to make a spot for her new plate. They need to have a location for dirty plates if they aren't going to be around to keep up. Still, I was very pleased with the atmosphere and quality of the food. Some of my other local favorite Indian restaurants have changed ownership and quality, so it's nice to know the Rasoi is consistently improving under the same management. I'm looking forward to making a trip back for dinner. The dinner menu looks marvelous!! read more

I wish I could give this place 4.5 stars, because I love their food, I just don't quite love it quite as much as I think is worthy of 5 stars. I've had take out from Rasoi, lunch talks catered by them, and I just finally tried their lunch buffet. I have never been disappointed! Their food is all very well seasoned and bursting with flavor (although the naan at the lunch buffet was a bit too chewy for my liking). And I know now that their medium spiciness is a lot spicier than I expect when I say medium. The service was good when I went for brunch, and the interior of the restaurant is very nicely decorated and spacious. It's quite beautiful. Oh, and their mango lassi! I've never had one that tasted quite that freshly and strongly of mango. Delicious! I'll definitely be eating at Rasoi again! read more

YES. India Rasoi is THE BOMB! This was my special birthday meal destination 3 years in a row while living in St. Louis, plus other special occasions when friends were in town. Outstanding Indian food. I love the shrimp tikka masala, cheesy garlic naan bread, the tempura vegetables, and the vegetable samosas. Seriously, I would slice open their naan and use it like a sleeping bag and then eat my way out if I could. It's that good. They have a great drink menu as well, and have a great room for hosting bigger parties. It's a BEAUTIFUL restaurant. The service is friendly and helpful - I will say that if you're in a rush, this might not be the place to sit down and enjoy a meal. It can be a longer dining experience than you're used to, but absolutely worth the extra time. The food will blow your mind! Outstanding Indian food - one of my favorites in St. Louis. read more

A friend suggested we meet here for lunch. Never having had Indian food, I was a little nervous that I wouldn't know what to order. No fear was necessary as the buffet was just fine. Unfortuantely, I'm not sure what I ate, so I can't make a recommendation. I don't think I'd rush back, as nothing but the Cilantro dressing made a major impression. However, if someone wanted to meet here, I'd be fine. read more

Rasoi - First plate from buffet - Indian Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Ever since they moved from Laclede location to Euclid a few years ago, I feel like the quality have gone down. I'm not sure whether they changed owner and cook at that point... but I wouldn't be surprised if they did. They've gone "upscale" and all ballywood. The food didn't get better, but the price tag went up. Lunch: They still have the buffet at lunch. In a jam, I'll go there. If your chicken tiki marsala looking a little red... it was yesterday's tandori chicken. Times are hard... I get it. Why waste good chicken? But I'm not going to be happy paying $11 for recycle chicken. Dinner: the menu is small. Everything is pricy. They do charge you extra for naan. You can easily ring up $30-40 for two. NOT worth it. The only upside is that you can specify how spicy you want the food verses the lunch buffet which is mild and mild. My palak paneer came out spicy but completely lack of salt. I think I can get palak paneer from a pouch at Trader Jose that tasted better. I think I'll stick to my guts and say "No thank you" the next time friends suggest we go there. read more

I've been to Rasoi for the lunch buffet and dinner. The buffet was a better value, imho. Our server at dinner was constantly upselling us. "OK, a bottle of Riesling," he says. "No," I reply, "I want one glass only." The boldest example of this came during dinner. We had turned down his dessert offer but, knowing it was a birthday celebration, he came out with a mango creme brulee with a candle and four gulab jamuns, telling us he'd only charged us for two gulab jamuns. If it wasn't a birthday celebration, you can bet there would have been a "scene." I won't be rushing back anytime soon. read more

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of the service. The bartender took an extended amount of time for drinks and we only ordered 2. The waiters were even heard telling him that he was taking too long. This did not even seem to affect the time it took to get a drink. He was heard to say he was busy with customers and there was no one in the bar area. The food , however was great. The prices were right. We ordered the feast for 2 and there was more than enough for both of us at only 48 $ and that included desert. It was nice to have such a variety of different foods. It is a great choice if you are not sure of what you want. Love this place! Will return. read more

During these extremely stressful times with COVID 19 and the way that it has changed our lives in the short term (hopefully!), India Rasoi is a beacon of light for a wonderful meal. I so thoroughly enjoyed the Chicken Tikka Masala and the garlic naan tonight with my husband. It made for a very nice dinner and a happy time. We walked over to pick up our order and they delicately handled the carry out from the bottom of the bag and not the carry handles. This is great service and the food as usual is excellent. It will be a staple for carry-out during these times. Can't wait to get back to the lovely dining room there. Be safe everyone! read more
