Fusion(indian with twist) food, tasty but can improve.

Each dish at this Michelin-worthy restaurant was a delight. The White Elephant Dosa arrived perfectly crisp and golden, while the Lotus Root Kofta Curry was rich and full of flavor. The homemade lemonade was just right—sweet, tangy and refreshing. For dessert, the traditional kulfi was creamy and melted in my mouth 🤤 Every dish was beautifully plated. The warm and attentive staff made the whole experience even more special !

We visited Rasa yesterday with my family, looking forward to a comforting Indian meal—dal makhani, naan, and a variety of vegetarian dishes you’d typically expect at an Indian restaurant, especially since I have been there twice before. Unfortunately, the experience fell short. There were only two vegetarian entrées on the menu, which was quite disappointing, especially for an Indian restaurant where vegetarian options are usually plentiful and thoughtfully prepared.
While we made do with some vegetarian appetizers just to avoid leaving hungry, it wasn’t the experience we had hoped for. I want to acknowledge that the service was excellent—attentive and warm—but great service can’t make up for the lack of fulfilling options. As an Indian who grew up with this cuisine, it was disheartening not to find enough food I could enjoy. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be returning.

My husband and I have been here three times now and we have deeply enjoyed everything about this restaurant. The service is phenomenal and is incredibly accommodating. The items on their menu are flavorful and delicious. We have ordered the white elephant dosa each time we’ve been there and always a reliable dish for the table. I have celiac disease and cannot have gluten. There are so many options for me to choose from and I have been symptom free each time. The cocktails are also worth mentioning. We are lucky to have Rasa in our neighborhood and look forward to more wonderful meals!

Had a fantastic dinner. Unplanned stop on a busy Friday night and lucked into a table. The sliders were fantastic. The dosa crisp and authentic. I have a pretty low spice tolerance and was worried that the biryani would be as spicy as it was in Hyderabad. It was perfect. The lotus root curry was delicious, but too spicy for me. Desert was something to behold. Cardamom brûlée.

Awesome food. We tried many dishes on menu and each was very good. Everyone enjoyed the food. Vegetarian and Meat dishes both were very tasty. Drink choices were decent. Kulfi was excellent. Had good fun. Thanks chef Arun Sudhir and staff.

Rasa is one of our favorite restaurants in the bay area. They never fail to impress. All our non indian friends this is the first restaurant we recommend for a introduction to indian food. Love the personal touch from the owner Ajay also. Always get an email from his to make sure we had a good experience. Hope he opens many more such exclusive food experiences:-)
We have come to Saffron now called "Rasa" a lot but this is the first time I have been disappointed or since their inception to "Rasa". Apps were good but Entres were disappointing. We had a butter chicken and Malai paneer curry. Both of them had 2 pieces of chicken/paneer with heavy taste on tomato paste. They call it a Thali style meaning single person orders own entree. This concept didn't sit with us as this is not a Michelin star restaurant and they basically balanced out the portions with a side of salad and rice. Unfortunately Saffron is not what it used to be and this new management is trying to make it into something like Michelin star which will not go right because of this change. As much I loved Saffron before, I would not come here to Rasa

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!

This is my third time visiting this restaurant, and it has never disappointed! The drinks are always spot on, perfectly mixed and refreshing. The food is consistently delicious, with flavors that are rich and satisfying every time. Whether it's my first visit or the third, the quality remains exceptional. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great dining experience!
