Best Indian restaurant and one of the better restaurants in the CWE! Their chicken tikka masala is amazing! I always get it when i eat here. The lamb shank is very good too. The plethora of flavors is great. But if you get the lamb shank be prepared to wait! The lunch buffet is a great deal. All you can eat good indian food! The waiters are all very nice! They remembered me after the 2nd time i went. They pay attention to everyone and are also nice to chat with. If you like Indian, i highly recommend Rasoi. read more

Good dinner options. Appetizers and snacks are excellent. Dinner entrees are just ok. The naan was excellent. The rice tasted like the grains were old. We might give this place another try for a lunch buffet. read more

We were in lunch buffet today, taste of food not satisfactory. When we got our bill they already added tip amount of $7.57 on $42 bill

Always great service and awesome food. Have ordered off menu and done the buffet. Tikka Masala is amazing!!!

We ordered thru doordash & it was delicious! Food was hot, wrapped well so it was fresh when it arrived and really tasty!

Just want to confirm that whether it's the place having lunch buffet and mango tassi? Good food and beverage. read more

What can I say about Rasoi...lots of things come to my mind....awesome..amazing..exceptional. This way my first visit after a friend recommended the place to me. From the moment I walked in the door I had a great feeling about the place. The decor was classy but yet relaxed. The lighting and music added to the great ambiance. We ordered some appetizers. An order of samosa and an order of Tandoori vegetables, both were amazing with great flavor and they came to our table in a timely manner. I ordered the Rasoi Feast and everything on it had an exceptional flavor. If I had to pick my favorite part of the dish it was the lamp chop...tender and a great flavor. The staff was very friendly and fun. I will recommend to all my friends and definitely return when visiting St. Louis! read more

Nice ambience .if u r going for chicken . there are other places too. I did not enjoy dining here .............................. read more

Rasoi - Indian Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Went for lunch buffet, outstanding choices and all very fresh! Great to have first class Indian food in St. Louis, keep it up! Very clean and all the staff were polite with great service. Will go back again. read more

My husband and I tried their buffet today and were very pleasantly surprised! This place is beautiful, clean and plays great music! The buffet is small, but still seemed to offer a decent amount of choices. Even more importantly, everything was very flavorful and well done! I particularly enjoyed the Chicken Tikka Massala, which isn't usually one of my favorites. But this place seemed to have a slightly different seasoning than I've had elsewhere. We'll definitely be coming back to this place again soon! read more

We had lunch buffet at India Rasoi. It was a very cold day which made the top layer of food cold. So the best bet was to take the lower layers from the dishes. Chicken curry was ok ok, fish curry was also okies. Dal makhni and Palak paneer was good but the paneer in Palak paneer was not at all good. So I removed paneer and ate Palak only. They had gulab jamun and kheer in dessert. Both were okish. read more

We decided to try this place the first night of a 5 day stay (for his work). It is walking distance from our hotel and we love Indian food. We were able to walk up and get a table right away as it was fairly early and a weeknight. Water came quickly followed by our server who asked if we wanted appetizers. My husband said he had not been able to see any of the appetizer offerings, pointing to his open menu that was covered in what was obviously a child's marker drawing, making it unreadable. The comment was ignored and we were told he would return shortly to give us time to decide. After a few minutes he returned and again asked if we wanted appetizers. Again my husband said he couldn't read the appetizer section, adding this time we would not order any. The server then went on to ask for our entree orders which we gave him, a vegetable dish, a korma, and a vindaloo. He said "I'll give you rice too", giving us the impression that rice did not automatically come with the dishes as in other Indian restaurants we have been to. After a decent wait (he did come by and let us know the lamb korma was the time culprit) we received our food. The krona was a little bland to others we have eaten but the vindaloo was very tasty and the palak paneer was exquisite! The best thing on the table. Our waters were kept continually full (one of our service measures) and the rest of the meal was peaceful and uneventful. Not the worst Indian food overall but also not the best. We may try to come back for their lunch buffet to give that a try. read more

See all

One of the worst Indian restaurants in CWE and area around. If you are a vegetarian than this is not the place to go. They hardly change their menu for vegetarian. Whenever I go there I find the same stuff. They make some stuff - Uthappam- which is totally inedible. They really need to improve their menu and bring more varieties. The price they charge for the buffet is not justified either. read more

Every now and then, I come across people and places that truly do justice to the phrase that gets thrown about so liberally amongst the ethnic hoi polloi - the "East-West mix". Rasoi is a restaraunt that brings the total package, a rarity amongst Indian (diners) - presentation and substance. I loved my dinner here - the vegetarian dinner platter, replete with respectable portions of multiple traditional vegetarian favorites is a great deal especially if one is hungry. The same was said of the Rasoi feast (the non vegetarian version) - prepare to give up a lot of table space for this one! There are a few items on the menu that fuse flavors in interesting ways. The Calcutta cooler for one is an interesting Indian version of the mojito with cilantro enriching the minty concoction. The pudina paneer was another novelty, which was incredibly good. A trendy decor, subdued Indian music, some great food at great prices - Rasoi is a delightful destination that dispels many a cliche associated with dining out Indian style! read more

I am a big fan of Indian food but often find other people struggle with knowing how to approach it. Rasoi offers a buffet which is a great way for people new to Indian food to try things out. The buffet was well stocked and very fresh tasting. Waitstaff was attentive and helpful. Will definently be back. read more

Great basic Indian food with nice ambiance. Attentive service, and the food was yummy. We had the crab cake appetizer and then shared the Navratan Korma and Aloo Gobi. None of it was particularly unique of special but definitely tasty and exactly what I wanted. read more

This place is fantastic! I had the paneer tiki masalaa and it was delightful. The service was great and we received our food in an exceptional fashion. read more

Could there really be another good Indian buffet somewhere out there in St. Louis? I don't know why most Indian restaurants in the U.S. have a lunch buffet, but I am not complaining. I went out to the Central West End to meet up with a good friend for lunch. And no, I didn't choose Rasoi because my friend happens to be Indian, it just worked out that way. I got there a little before my friend and waited a little bit. I took the time to look around. I noticed the décor and cleanliness of the restaurant. They definitely kept it nice and neat, and it was very welcoming. After my friend arrived, we were helped to our table. I do have to admit, though, the tables are a bit close together (in order to allow for maximum occupancy, I'm guessing), but not so close that it was uncomfortable. Now onto the most important part, the food!! Much like other Indian buffets, again the staple foods were there. I'll go through them and give my thoughts. Basmati Rice: This was nicely cooked, and very good for complementing the entrée dishes. Nan: The nan was money. It was soft and yet had a little bit of crisp, which added great texture and was again great for complementing the entrees. The flavor was great. Tandoori Chicken: I'm not sure if Rasoi actually makes Tandoori chicken because it tasted more like Buttered chicken, which would be another item commonly found on Indian menus. It lacked the normal Tandoori red color, which I think is part of the fun of Tandoori chicken and to be honest, I was a little disappointed at the lack of moistness of the meat. It was above average, but the Tandoori chicken at Priyaa is much better. Chicken Tika Misala: I'm glad that this menu item did not disappoint. The chicken was moist and the sauce was delicious. Poor this over your basmati rice and scoop it up with some nan. Beef Curry: Another great item! The flavor is a bit strong for my taste, so I only had one plate of it. Pour it over some rice, and scoop away again with that tasty nan. Potatoes: I forget what the name of this one was, but the potatoes were very good, and they go well with the curry, too. Dessert - Kreer: This was like rice pudding with a hint of coconut. The texture may take some getting used to, but what a great way to finish off a delicious meal. Others: There are also some other items on the menu: a decent salad bar and some vegetables as well as fried foods, but I stuck to the good stuff. I tend to go for value when I go to a buffet, and meat is where the money's at, naw mean? If you're out in the Central West End and have a craving for some good Indian food, hit up Rasoi. However, beware of the exponentially increased dinner prices, which I've heard are pretty high for the portions you receive. read more

Delicious and as authentic you can get in St. Louis. Not a bad find and would definitely recommend. Portions seems smaller than House of India in University City-- but that's not a bad thing. I really enjoyed their chai tea. I would come back for sure! read more

Always consistent food and service. The staff is very friendly and treats me like family, making eating there a special experience. Definitely one of my go to spots. read more

Very poor customer service. Waiters were unpleasant and were talking about non Indian customers in Hindi amongst themselves because they were getting impatient and wanted to close the buffett. In addition buffett was billed at almost 15 dollars which is extremely high and price was not listed on their website and the food was nothing compared to any quality Indian restaurant. in addition to all this the cashier had the audacity to demand for a tip just for refilling water three times. I will not be reccommending this establishment because they don't treat their customers with respect and are extremely overpriced. read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SERVICE! Nothing worse than walking into a restaurant and not feeling welcome! We were hurried from the moment we walked in "We close at 2:30, we close at 2:30, we close at 2:30! WE GET IT, we can read! We asked to see a menu and the waiter said "NO!" in a very rude manner. That is how businesses loose loyal customers. read more

Rasoi set the bar high for Indian restaurants in my book. The chicken tikka masala, chicken curry, and garlic naan were all fantastic. If you tell the servers how much spice you want, they will accommodate your tastes. The decor was beautiful as well. read more

Went there last Saturday night with some friends to have a fun dinner. The wait staff is terrible, we were there for 2.5 HOURS. There were 6-7 of us and it took them 40 minutes to take our order. We also had to track down our waiter so we could get our check, and then track him down again so he would actually take the check off our table so we could leave. It is pretty pricey for Indian food, and the menu is not very large. I love Indian food, probably eat it about once a week, so I was surprised at the lack of choices I was given at Rasoi. The food was delicious though, I ordered chana masala and meat samosas, nothing to complain about there! However, I think you would be much better off going to House of India on Delmar where the food is cheaper, there are many more choices of things to eat, and the service is just as terrible. Overall, the service was below average and I won't be going there again. read more

I will say that I'm pretty picky when it comes to Indian food. Having said that, Rasoi does many things well. However, the price for the quantity of food sometimes seems exorbitant to me. I do however continue to eat here intermittently when I feel like I'm okay to spend 50 bucks; they do give a large quantity of rice. The garlic cheese naan is one of my favorite things in any restaurant anywhere although I really don't think we can call what is basically cheesy bread an Indian food item. The tandoori chicken that I've had at the lunch buffet is delicious, as are the various curries they have. One thing that was a little shocking to me was that they have beef in an Indian restaurant but hey, to each his own, I just avoided it in the buffet. The chicken tikka is what I get time after time because of how amazingly seasoned the meat is as well as the delicious sauce. I also get a vegetable dish, I've had both the navratan korma and the malai kofta which are great but oh so heavy. I probably eat three bites of each entree and am set, due to the amount of cream, but I'm not complaining it clearly works. The one time I ordered the lobster dosa as an appetizer it was clearly not worth the price; it was extremely small and shared between three people we each probably got a taste in, but there was also barely any lobster. I'm sure there are more authentic Indian places especially in the Loop and West County but for someone who lives down here, I can make do. The one thing I will say is the service is very hit or miss. I had a horribly rude experience a few years ago where I left a not deserved 20% tip on the bill (our water glasses were empty for the entire meal, no one asked us if we wanted anything to drink, and we were rushed to order with only a few other tables in the restaurant plus my friend got chicken tikka splashed on her by the waiter who delivered the food). As we're walking out I see our waiter who is talking to another waiter, pointing at us, and he loudly says 'low tip' while pointing. Truly a ridiculous experience and I didn't go back for a year after that; now I stick to takeout from their restaurant. read more

The food here is always amazing !! I love coming for the lunch buffet so I can get as much curry and bread lol! The servers there are all So pleasant and they make sure they take care of there guest. The place is always clean and the food is always warm/ hot ! read more

Mmm, chicken tikka masala and extra extra hot lamb vindaloo. Delish! Skip the garlic naan and stay with plain naan.

Went on a Monday afternoon for the buffet. Lack of choices for both veg and non vegetarian. They never filled empty trays making people wait. Taste was average. read more

This is a Lovely restaurant. It accommodated our party (three adults and two children, 2 & 4) nicely for an early dinner. The server, Marvin was great with recommendations and knowledgeable of ingredients in the dishes. We have a dairy allergy and we ordered the Lobster Dosa, Calcutta Fish & Chips, Kachumber salad, Salmon Pondicherry, and the Paratha with Spinach. The food was delicious, especially the entree and bread. read more

Very delicious, flavorful, and large portions. Very strong flavor. Everything was tasty! It also looks very fancy and classy inside. Booking on opentable was easy. read more

Good food, decent service.. It can be a little slow when it's busy.. If it's cold out, sit away from the door, their extra entry way doesn't work very well. read more

Pretty good lunch buffet. They have a really nice selection of a variety of dishes, including a handful of very tasty vegetarian options. Vegetarian Lorna was yummy, as was the somewhat spicy chicken masala. For $10 it's hard to say no!! read more

Decided to go to CWE on a Friday night (not always a great idea...) and did dinner at Rasoi. They were able to take a late reservation and the food was quick and tasty. I have been here a few times before and always like the food, but they are more expensive then other indian places in town. Still, it is a good place for a date or if you have guests in town. read more

Delicious, friendly, great service! Attended a rehearsal dinner here and really enjoyed it!

The $10 lunch buffet is a great deal as they include many items in the buffet! The only problem is that the food is mediocre! I probably won't go back unless I'm absolutely craving some Indian food and there are no other alternatives. read more

This place is legit. I'm from NJ and have had some really good Indian food so I think I have fairly high standards. Would Def come back. Nice ambience too. Had the lunch buffet. Definitely go for the butter chicken and chicken biriyani. read more

The tamatar soup is probably my favorite soup in the world. Also amazing lunch buffet and great, cozy atmosphere.

Mistakes happen, I guess-they were probably just having a bad day when I went for the first time. I love their buffet-it is awesome. However, I knocked off a star because this place is very pricey. I think I paid like $16.50 for chicken tikka masala takeout a few weeks ago, and it only came with rice...come on, for that price, you can throw in some salad or a piece of naan or something. read more

Rasoi - Chicken biryani - Indian Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

The buffet offers a variety of food to choose from. The naan is very good, and the chicken tikka masala is delicious also. The restaurant is on the classier side, and you can also order off the menu if the buffet doesn't offer something you want. Service is great, and the staff is always willing to accommodate your needs or replace anything that you ask for. Will definitely come back when I need my curry and naan fix. read more

Got the chicken tikka masala and the flavor was good. If only the fifteen dollar takeout actually included rice to eat it with.
