Rasoi Restaurant

My husband and I ate dinner at Rasoi on June 8th, 2007. We picked the restaurant at random, because it wasn't too crowded and the menu in the window appealed to us. I'm surprised to read some of the reviews below; maybe things have changed in the meantime. We received excellent service: the waiters were friendly and the food arrived quickly. I had chicken tikka masala and my husband had lamb rogan josh. Both were delicious. (We've dined at other Indian restaurants in NYC and Philadelphia, and this was better than nearly every other Indian food we've tried.) The atmosphere inside the restaurant was calm and relaxing, and yet we had no trouble getting our check when we needed to leave in order to catch a movie. We'll definitely return to Rasoi now that we know about it. more

We went to rasoi last week. Ordered Paneer Kadao, Chicken Tikka Masala and Sham Savera. When we asked the waiter which one is what he was confused as well as they all looked the same. They sereve the same base in all their food which is frustrating. The food was oily and we did not enjoy as all 3 itemd we ordered tasted the same. I would not visit this pace again. There are other better options on the street. On our way out we saw this place BOLO CURRY. Will try it soon... more

We travel across state lines on a regular basis to experience the joy that is Rasoi Indian Cuisine. Having tried several other indian restaurants in the area, we can say with confidence that Rasoi is the best - hands down - of any we've tried. Many reviews talk about lousy service, however we do take out which is fast and easy and we've never had a disappointing dish. They will make the food to your comfort level of spiciness, which is a big plus, and have a great variety of vegetarian (and meat) dishes. Our personal favorites: the malai kofta, baighan bartha, and saag paneer and don't forget some garlic naan as well. Well worth the hour drive for us - we can't recommend Rasoi highly enough and our mouths water at the very thought of it. Enjoy more

If you can bear the wait and the service, you may want to check out Rasoi Restaurant. It's located on Newark avenue and is accessible by PATH train as well as local buses. The food is amazing but the service is lousy. It has a lot to do with the fact that the owner keeps the tips and DOES NOT give it to the waiter who you intended it for. Thus, the staff have no motivation to work any harder, than needed. It sucks for the waiters as well as the patrons who have to deal with awful service and wait time(from being seated to being served)! Can't balme the staff though;( more

Those who are willing to brave the Jersey City's famous Newark Avenue Parking nightmare, and find their way through the crowded streets, and squeeze through the double doors, and put up with the less than stellar waiters will be rewarded with what I believe is to be the best Indian restaurant in a very large radius, New York included. I won't say how the food is other than that its delicious. There really is no point until you give your own verdict. The variety is good ( although no South Indian food is offered; sorry dosa fans), the prices are tame ( A lunch buffet is $11 per person, a dinner for four should be under $50) but MOST importantly the serving portions are generous. Folks who need strong drinks will cherish the bar and drink offerings. For newbies, bring along an experienced hand, the waiters....leave you wanting in service and knowledge. All in all this restaurant ranks #1 of my top 20 Indian Restaurants. more

One of best Indian restaurant in New Jersey .Whoever had tasted will prefer to go back again . Their dishes are high quality , great taste and irresistible. Only draw back is waiting time , have to wait for quiet sometime when it is crowded inside usually during weekends (evening) . I guess its worth to wait . more
