Rasa Maricham

Not very inviting from the outside - but the experience is really recommendable. Atmosphere sober in pale pink colours and soft, local music, traditional floor lamp, Burning incense, Linen tablecloths. Warm plates. Candles on the table. Small but interesting menu and the quality of the food doesn't disappoint. Food professionally made with balance in taste based on natural ingredients rather than the spice shelf. Service friendly and efficient holding the right distance - intimacy vs privacy.

Pricing, I would say is attractive, but 12.5% of the whole bill amount is charged for service automatically, which I didn’t like. 10% is o.k, but anything more than that should be left to the discretion of customers.

If you are in town this restaurant is definitely worth a visit! I would definitely recommend this place.

I was there with two of my italian friends in February. they were very doubtful as they don't have much experience of Indian food. We thought the food was fantastic and they were just so surprised by how good it all was. The menu is unusual but the fish curries in particular are simply brilliant. The service is pleasantly unobtrusive but the waiters were able to make sensible suggestions about matching rice to dishes. The portions are just right though we always eat too much as we love so many dishes on the menu and my favourite is the Youghurt mango curry. It is good to see so many interesting vegetarian dishes. I have never had a meal in Rasa that has been less than excellent.
