Got some coupons in the mail to check out the nearby Rasa (Mosaic District) so tried them for the first time last night. Downloaded the app, which wasn't terribly straightforward due to all the links they make you click through to set things up, but eventually figured it out.
As a somewhat picky eater, wasn't a fan of the preset dishes (e.g., "Tikka Chance On Me", "Open Sesame", etc.) that they feature on their menu. It took me a minute or so to realize that you can build your own dish in lieu of ordering one of their preset dishes (under the "You Got This" option - wish their menus were labeled more straightforwardly, nothing wrong with keeping things simple).
Ordered the lemon rice with chicken tikka, an add-on of spicy beef, on tamarind chili, which I think is their spiciest sauce. Used their $5 off first bowl coupon (that was mailed to me but is also available on their website), so the order came out to around $11.50, including tax, which wasn't bad at all.
Was a pickup order so drove down the street to pick it up about 10 minutes later. Mosaic District has curbside parking for pickup orders so you can park right in front if a spot is available. Rasa is right next to the Target in the Mosaic District so you can also park in the big garage for Target customers, though that's a bit farther of a walk
Parked curbside and picked my order up off the to-go shelf, as the order was already ready. To-go orders at Rasa come with a spiffy paper bag, which I appreciated LOL.
The food itself was very good. Very tasty and filling. I'd say it's not quite as flavorful or as much food per dollar as you'd get at other Halal spots like the Halal Guys or Kabob Palace but it's on the same level and about as good. Not quite as spicy as I was hoping considering I got what I thought was their spiciest sauce, but was spicy enough and again was a good meal.
Have a couple more coupons to use so I'll definitely be back and maybe try some other options on the menu. Reccomend checking Rasa out if you've never been!
