There are a lot of good Indian restaurants in London but Rasa is special and has a strong following to illustrate this. Rasa is a showcase for innovative and delicious vegetarian Kerala cuisine from South India that won't break the bank.
From the start to finish the service was warm and attentive without being over bearing.
We started with some delicious appetizers. The Medhu Vadai - spongy delicious dumplings served with coconut chutney are a must try together with mixed pickles and chutneys.....save room for mains though! They can also put together a mix of appetizers which would work well with a bigger group.
We tried the Beet Cheera Pachadi which is a vibrantly colored beetroot and spinach curry served with yoghurt sauce with roasted coconut, mustard seeds and curry leaves....mouth watering. The Cheera Curry made of Paneer (curd cheese) and spinach cooked with garlic, peppers and tomato in a creamy sauce was rich and tasty and was a nice accompaniment to the beet curry.
To compliment these two dishes we had coconut rice and the Kerala specialty of Paratha, a wheat dough layered and coiled into then grilled.
Rasa has a number of restaurants around the UK but we visited the one in Stoke Newington N16.....delicious! Can't wait to go back and try the other dishes next time.
