Made from scratch, every day

Recognized by the Michelin Guide, Inspired by India
RaaSa's menu is bright, refined and expansive as it meanders through the myriad Indian regions. Kick things off with an order of bhel puri, a palate-pleasing combination of sweet, spicy and tart that is a popular street snack. Coconut rice, garlic naan and raita make delicious accompaniments to the likes of lamb curry in a tomato-based curry that balances sweet and savory with notes of sweet onion, garlic and a subtle gingery kick. If that doesn't leave you wanting more, desserts like kulfi falooda garnished with vermicelli, tapioca seeds and rose syrup, will do the trick. Drinks are equally strong, but there's no going wrong with the creamy mango lassi.

Awesome flavors! I’ve had a lot of chicken over rice from more places than I can count and this place sits at the top of list. Great spice, really good white sauce and hot sauce. On top of that, the brown sugar milk tea is comparable to any pure bubble tea shop! Good experience all around. Bonus poBonus points for having celcius energy drinks available
I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. What really impressed me was their customer service even though the dish I wanted wasn’t on the menu, they still made it for me with no hesitation. That shows how much they care about their customers. Definitely one of the best halal spots around. Highly recommended!
This chicken and rice (or chicken and lamb combo which is my preference) is as good - if not better - than the street meat halal guys in the city. Plus, you don’t have to wait on line in the cold for it. Always, without fail, hits the spot! Thanks for joining our neighborhood, Rice and Spice! It’s so great to have some diversity amongst the pizzerias!
