Indian Rasoi

Very tasty food, good portion sizes, and fast service. Thoroughly enjoyed the naan as well, which was both crispy AND soft. The chicken in our dishes was good quality breast meat (you know how heinous it is when restaurants skrimp and throw in crummy meat) and the spicing of all dishes, including the naan, was lovely.

Although I’m sad café colucci is gone, I’m so happy it’s replaced by such a delicious and welcoming Indian restaurant! The atmosphere inside is warm and beautifully decorated. Everything is really nice and clean. The food was amazing as well! The aloo tikki was delicious as an appetizer. Not a big deal but the menu said 4 and we only got 3 for our portion which was still more than enough. The main dishes were tasty as well, the chana masala was well seasoned and fresh, it paired beautifully with the garlic naan. The coconut curry chicken was also really rich and tasty as well. Very comforting on a colder night. The service was wonderful, very attentive. So glad to have this place nearby, and looking forward to going back soon and trying more.

The BEST samosas I’ve had in the Bay Area! They hit all the right notes—perfect spicing, texture, and density. Just as impressive as these yum-triangles was their generosity: they donated them to our fundraising event to help save the dogs of Contra Costa County. I’ll write more after I return to try more dishes…and I absolutely will be back soon. Can’t wait!

I'm so excited for a new and GOOD restaurant in this part of Oakland. So far I've had the lamb saag, mint chicken kebab, aloo gobi, regular and garlic naan, and the mango lassi. Everything has been fresh, generously portioned, and extremely tasty. The lunch bowl (I think it's only available for in person orders) is a great deal in particular, its easily enough for two meals for less that $20, and if you stick to the vegetarian option it's under $15. The decor is cute, very bright and cheerful. The small staff have all been friendly and the chef clearly knows how to handle a kitchen. The owner owns other restaurants in the bay area so I'm hoping that experience will help make this place a success.

I’ve been loving our new go to Indian restaurant that moved into the space where Cafe Colucci used to be. Great, friendly service. Attentive, yet relaxed. I’ve come several times with large groups and they’ve so graciously accommodated us, individual checks and all. Excellent food. Reasonably priced. Sweet cheerful colorful space, yet cozy and chill. And even when the room is full it’s easy to have a relaxed conversation. Highly recommended!

Awesome to have a quick, clean, and tasty Indian restaurant in town. Pani puri, malai kofta, and garlic naan were all great. This is quick and easy North Indian fare. Service is exceptional and while busy, I didn’t have to wait for a table for 1. If you are looking for Indian food in Berkeley, this is a solid choice.

The food here is incredible, with a varied menu that has some welcomed surprises. The food was piping hot, clearly freshly made to order, and rich with spices. The music and the twinkling lanterns and umbrellas on the ceiling set the right vibe. Not to mention the service came with a smile. This is a great casual or date night spot, just make sure you come with an appetite so you can try everything! We had: chana daal, veg pakoda, aloo gobi, paneer naan, and they were all great.

Ordered pickup - chicken vindaloo (spicy), rice and garlic naan. Was excited and started with dipping the naan in curry sauce, sauce was a bit thin/watery and was not spicy but was still optimistic. Once I really dug into the dish itself it was primarily large chunks potato and not much chicken. The chicken that was in the curry was stringy dry white meat. I understand potatoes are a significant component to vindaloo but when paying $16 for a to 2 cup to go bowl of curry I’d hope for either a thicker curry sauce or a better chicken to potato ratio for the price. While the staff were nice for my pickup o would not order from here again given the quality of food.
