Rasoi

I got served a beer that was expired—and not by a day or two, but clearly past its “best by” date. I even found the bottle stamped with a date two months ago. The taste was flat, stale—nothing like a fresh pour. I flagged the manager about the date—they just shrugged, rolled their eyes, and left it alone. No apology. No offer to replace it. Zero acknowledgment from the manager when I asked to speak with them. Very disappointed with this place.

A proper Indian restaurant with good ambience. The food quality and taste is amazing, the staff is very good and professional. I have buffet over here so many times and it is very nice and delicious. A la carte as well is equally nice. They have options for drinks also if you want. If you want to eat some authentic Indian food then this is a must go place.

I'd been hearing great things about Rasoi for a while, and I'm so glad I finally got to check it out. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish, and it's definitely a new favorite for me in Jersey City. The moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. It strikes a nice balance between being modern and clean while still feeling cozy and authentic. The aroma of spices hits you right away and you just know you're in for a good meal. Now for the best part—the food. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and tasted incredibly fresh. We started with the vegetable samosas, which were perfectly crispy and not at all greasy, with a delicious, well-spiced potato and pea filling. For our main courses, we went with the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Saag Paneer. The chicken was so tender, and the creamy tomato sauce was rich and complex—one of the best I've had. The Saag Paneer was also a standout; the spinach was fresh and flavorful, and the paneer was soft and delicious. And you can't forget the garlic naan—it was warm, fluffy, and had the perfect amount of garlic. The service was also excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and happy to offer recommendations. Everything came out in good time, and we felt really well taken care of.

This is one of my favourite go to restuarant in Jersey City. Everyone in my family loves the foods and everything. But from a recent experience, it became one of the worst restuarant for me. And I will stop going there as well moving forward. So we went on a dinner and order food and beverage. For the beverage part, we ordered 2 mango lassi and told the waiter to divide it into 4 small glasses. And in the final bill there was an extra $5 dollar charge for just divinding that 2 mango lassi into 4. The waiter didn't told me upfront for this extra charge. If he would have told me I would just buy 4 instead of 2 mango lassi. I have done this previously as well with no extra charge. Also never had this type of extra charge at any other restuarant. Just because of that, won't be going anymore. I have attached bill for visibility.

One of the best Indian restaurant in Jersey City’s Indian square. Weekday buffet is $14.99 and it’s worth every penny. Naan was soft and freshly served. Huge selection of veg and non vegetarian dishes even in a weekday is wonderful. 2 desserts were available but items will differ depending on the day. Friendly staffs, awesome service. Highly recommend.

First time in this section of Jersey city and the food here was absolutely delicious. I’m mad I didn’t go sooner considering I’m in the area. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back. Only thing that could be better is it was hard to read the staff — they came off somewhat disinterested that said it could’ve just been a one off occurrence. Nonetheless they found a new fan.

I will promise you with some Yummy Curry!! It was my first time in the district, we were looking for Authentic Indian Curry with some meat. Because majority of the restaurant in the block were 100% vegetarian( Which we are not used to at the moment.) The price is higher than a other restaurant but this restaurant will guarantee to serve you some real good Indian food will satisfy you. I will definitely like to come back again.

I like the food and service at Rasoi in Jersey City. The wait staff is polite and helpful, but lacking in numbers. Sometimes the service is lacking when the staff is overwhelmed with the amount of orders. Need to hire and train more staff. (Get more staff properly trained, you will have 5 stars) as a customer I don’t want to be looking or calling out for the wait staff. Food is phenomenal, been coming to Rasoi since it was first opened up. During college time, me and my cousin gave them thousands of $$ business. We enjoyed the food, the drinks, and yes the food. Last time I was there, my mom had special request, and they came thru. They actually made something off menu. We are customers and will be. I live in another state, but when I come to see mom and dad, we come here almost every night. They were working the Covid restriction safely we felt safe.

The butter chicken is amazing - recommend the naan w/ butter. Servings are large and plenty for a 2 person split.

Went here for weekend buffet. First the good: Pani puri was okay. It is a stand and a person hands over puris.However, it is not the same quality as other Pani puri stands in the area. But I would still count it as a good addition to buffet. Desserts- Gulab jamun was fresh and good. Rice pudding was also okay. Vegetarian options especially Sambar and chole were good. Not so good: I would rate the non-vegetarian options 1/5. Butter chicken was perhaps the best of the lot (2.5/5).

Food (5/5): Not sure why this place is only 3.5 star as the food was amazing! We ordered the chicken makhani, paneer pakoras, and mango lassi. All the items we ordered were delicious. The chicken makhani was creamy and had good tender chicken, the deep fried paneer was delicious and came with nice sauces, and the mango lassi wasn't too runny or thick with good sweetness. Service (5/5): Overall great service where they were attentive, fast to get food out, and many servers available. Ambiance (5/5): Beautiful and well lit interior with Indian music and decorations. The art looked nice and I liked the white and blue contrast lights. From the outside it looked like one of the nicer maintained restaurants in Indian Square.

I went here on a date and absolutely loved it. The service was great. Our waitress made recommendations for our order that were well-received. I highly recommend Paneer Pakora (fried cheese). We also had the Samosas which were yummy. For our main course, we split Dum Aloo, Paneer Tikka Masala, and Saag Paneer. We got medium spice which was perfect, everything was perfectly seasoned and spiced. I really enjoyed the Paneer Tikka Masala. I would go back here and try other dishes!

This review is for the weekend lunch buffet. It costs 18.95 plus 15% tip for parties of 6 or more. Lots of varieties of curries, rice, and items. They had good service and no lines on a Sunday lunch. I can't read any of the stuff, but it clearly labels if each thing is vegetarian or not just in case. My favorites were the tandoori chicken and the bbq chicken which were not dry. The biryani was also good since it was spicy. I won't give it 5 stars because I did see a couple flies flying around, and I wish there was more meat like beef or goat. For about $24 total, it is not a bad deal!

It's good but does it live up To the hype? I don't see what the hype is. I have eaten here a few times and it gets the job done. Service and ambience is good though.

The $19pp weekend lunch buffet isn't going to wow you with unique ingredients or exotic dishes or creative presentations--but it's $19 effing dollars which is practically free in these high inflationary times, so I'll just enjoy my watery chicken tikka masala and vegetable biryani with canned veggies.

I went to Rasoi with my parents for lunch last week. We were originally headed to the Iselin location but Jersey City was a bit closer to us and it was getting late. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. There was 1 other party when we walked in so we were seated right away. To our dismay they only offer the lunch buffet on Friday-Sunday. The menus still say they offer the lunch buffet on other days but the staff was quick to tell us the menus are outdated. For appetizers we got fried paneer and fried okra. Both were very tasty. They came with different dipping sauces which paired well with both dishes. I ordered the chicken malai kofta and my parents shared the goat curry. It took well over 30 minutes for our entrees to come out. I remember because I had paid for an hour of parking and I was starting to worry that my time would run out. Both the entrees were cooked well and tasted great. The goat was very tender and the level of spice was perfect. The chicken malai kofta tasted great too but my only gripe is that it only came with 4 tiny meatballs. It's served in a decent-sized pot so I was a bit disappointed to find how much little meat I got. Nevertheless, the two dishes were seasoned well so even the broth(?)/soup(?) was good enough to eat with the included basmati rice. I would definitely come back here to try their lunch buffet. This would be a 3.5 but I'm rounding down because of the slow service. We came in around 1:30PM on a Thursday; they didn't seem too busy.

It's sometimes the places you literally have been going to for years that you realize you've somehow never left a review for. I've lived in this area since 2016 so I can only say that I have been to Rasoi or ordered delivery there countless times over those many years. I love the Mixed Tandoor, their samosas with or without chole, and mango lassi. All, the highlights. I like how it has a funny club vibe in there with the lighting. Most of all, I love how the head waiter always gives me the respect of someone who has been coming to his establishment for 7 years. It feels like my Indian home away from home. One of the first places I recommend if someone has actually made the venture out from NYC to see me. My only detractor and there's only one place I know of on India St. that has this, is I'm a cocktail girl and you won't really find that here.

Food tastes ok, but not very generous. The shrimp curry is a lot of sauce and 4 small shrimp

4 stars is just for food ....we did a quick take out on Saturday night. We had ordered paneer tikka masala and baigan bhaarta. Food was tasty and portion size was decent. When i went to pick up the food, the indoor seating seemed decent. May be worth a try next time. The hand held to receive payment did not work inspire of multiple swipes, so I had to do inside to make the payment and the pick-up didn't remain a 'quick' anymore. Invest in better equipment or train your staff not to bend the credit card to get it to swipe?

I'm mad I hadn't ordered from here before now. This food was awesome, and any worries I had about it getting to me and tasting as good as it should after traveling were squashed. I got to greedy, and forgot to take photos. Seems like there are enough here to see. Doesn't even matter, just go, the food is good enough to stare at in person. Food packaged up well, and a recycled cloth bag came with, which was a nice touch. I had: Onion Kulcha. Truly for the onion lovers, seasoned well, soft and lovely, and huuuge. Wrapped in foil and opened like a warm gift. I dunno which sauces came just for that, I tried all of em, but it really doesn't need sauce. I'm thinking maybe a creamy raita sauce would be good on it for Day 2. Pani Puri. Cute lil fried crispy puffs, about 8 of em, just waiting to be tapped with a spoon til it provides a hole, and filled with the stuff in the lil cups that came in the takeout bag. Don't know which was which, but I taste-tested it all and put a combination inside. Pickled onions, a green creamy sauce, a stuffing-like filling, and a tangy brown tamarind tasting sauce, plus there was a small soup-sized container of a vinegar-based thin sauce, which I've never seen before. The vinegar sauce didn't seem to combine fabulously with any of my dishes, but hey, I tried it. I didn't think this dish would travel well, but it did, and it was fun to eat. Lamb Korma. Brilliantly spicy, creamy, bright, distinctively authentic. I was so glad there was so much of it, I didn't wanna see it go. The lamb was tender, and bite-sized, I ate it with the spoon I used to serve the rice. Sauce was dreamy. Wasn't overly oily. I want to try every version of this. I've already favorited this place in my mind and whenever the craving hits, Rasoi is gonna be my go-to. Go Go Go!

Good option if you are looking North Indian Cuisie, especially Appetizers, Curries, and Bread. I didn't like the Biryani that much, and the meat in the Biryani, as well as their Tandoor options tend to be overcooked at time - really depends on the day. I try to order different Curries and in my recent visit, I had ordered Veg Kolhapuri and Khoya Kaju. Both the curries tasted really good, and I am eager to try other curries they have.

Excellent experience. I was a bit overwhelmed at first by the length of the menu and array of options, but worked through it very enjoyably. We started the table with the garlic and regular naan, samosas and samosa chat. All were excellent. I proceeded to get (and share, because all portions are shareable) the chicken tikka masala. I loved it. The saag paneer was also great. Highly recommended. Will return and explore more of the menu. Service was very polite and helpful throughout. The decor is basic, but clean and sufficiently nice.

Rasoi is not recommended for any vegetarian foodies. Even their gravy has distinct smell of non-veg and place used to be good but now is converted to a non-veg hub. Any vegetarians or Jains please dont waste your time, money or energy since this street is full of choices for foodies and better places to go than rasoi. We had Naan, Mango Lassi and Paneer Tikka Masala. Paneer Tikka Masala had the orange tomato gravy smelling of smoke from the non veg cooking. Paneer was also not fresh. Mango Lassi was sweet and concentrated. Garlic Naan was ok. Not extraordinary. It was also not well done. Again expectations may be high because its the "Original" Rasoi but for vegetarians and jains they are not there.

One of the BEST saag paneer preparations I've had anywhere. Rich, smooth, beautifully spiced. Food here overall is awesome. I especially love that, as a white dude, they don't dumb it down when I ask for it spicy.

Review is strictly based on their tandoori chicken, which is the best I've had along with chili naan. And when you say spicy, they do spicy!

Loved all the food! The mango lassi was delicious. The garlic naan was soooo good and fresh. The chicken tikka was substantial and delicious. The chicken makhani (butter chicken) was so good and there was so much sauce to dip your naan in and put on rice. Everything was so fresh. Highly recommend. The service is a little slow but that's it.

The buffet is only on Friday, Saturday, and Sundays but well worth a visit on any day.

Rasoi Kitchen in Journal Square is an excellent spot for Indian food in an area that's crowded with options. The interior is pretty spacious and it should work whether you're here with a group, or if there are few of you. We arrived a little early, which is why it took a long time for the food to arrive, but that's understandable. Try to be here past 5.15 so they've had time to prep. The butter chicken is fantastic. Hands down among the top three I've had in the NY/NJ area. The sweetness come through along with the creamy flavor, and they blend to create a really pleasant experience. Rice is included in the price, and even though the food isn't cheap, it is likely to last beyond a meal, considering the portions. The goat biryani is a very solid dish too. Too much ghee seems to have been used for my liking. But hey, it's North Indian cuisine -- I know what I signed up for! The pieces of goat are nice, but the meat is in bone. So not sure how much protein you'll get out of it. We weren't disappointed, and I'm glad I took my mom to this food spot for her first time in JC.

Love the food! They have the best Dal Makhni! Would go there again. They also offer drinks

Very authentic Indian Food! The curries were really good and creamy, I loved their starters as they were particularly spicy and flavorful!

some of the best food i have ever had. absolutely delicious, authentic indian food. great service, large portions, priced right. will be back sooner rather than later.

I ordered lamb Rogan Josh and chicken tikka masala for pick up . They totally screwed my order up. The lamb was cooked in the same sauce base as my chicken tikka masala. Not sure how you can screw it up that hard. By the time I realized I was already home. Will never come back here .

Good food. Good Indian curries. Good soup. Indo Chinese okayish! Ambience is good.. quick service

Ordered takeout - paneer tikka masala, mutter malai and 3 types of bread. Paneer - not soft, sauce sweet even though it was supposed to be medium spicy. Mutter Paneer - peas not tender but gravy was good. Rotis ordinary nothing great Last time, had ordered kadai paneer and even that tasted like paneer makhani. Rating 3/5.

Absolutely fantastic! On a street filled with Indian restaurants, this stands out! I went with one of my Indian friends. We had Rogan Josh, Chicken Tikka Masala, a creamy vegetable dish, and okra prepared with Indian spices. Everything was tasty! Great atmosphere. Hope to see you there next time!

Rasoi is a solid fixture on Newark Avenue in Jersey City, and I'm glad I had the chance to have lunch here today. Making my way in trying different restaurants on this Avenue, my visit to Jersey City usually accomplishes 3 things: 1. Picking up some necessities at Patel Bros market 2. Indian lunch or dinner 3. Completing it all by having a refreshing paan at Patel Paan Bar Rasoi, which means kitchen, basically displayed much of their kitchen as visible at the buffet stations. Their food was a combination of both Northern and Southern Indian styles. I usually am not equipped to eat much food at any buffets, but ordering a la carte (also offered at Rasoi) might be less practical in terms of price and variety. Their all-you-can-eat buffet was only about $10.99. My friend and I walked in around 1 p.m. and the place was quite filled with most, if not all, patrons hitting the buffet stations. There were two with most options being vegetarian. These were some of the selections: *papadum and the variety of chutneys * raita * channa salad * dal * basmati rice * pepper pakora * paneer jhalfrezi * sag * warm naan * chicken tikka * chicken tandoori * medu vada with the side sambar * pani puri (made by a woman as the individual eats it) One of my faves * gulab jamun * kheer I didn't try the two chicken dishes but they looked pretty good. Aside from what I outlined, there were a few missteps/dislikes with what we tried. I wasn't crazy for the pepper pakora since the coating was soggy and thick. My friend didn't like the channa salad pointing out that something (maybe the tomatoes?) was rancid and tainted the entire salad. Thankfully, I didn't try it. Also, the paneer pan was empty for quite a while and we had to ask several times if there would be a refill to the buffet table. The food at Rasoi was very good, ambiance was better than average compared to other restaurants along Newark Avenue, restroom was clean and service was pretty good. Overall, Rasoi is a keeper and I'd love to return for an a la carte meal or perhaps a dinner buffet. They also have a decent sized bar. Rasoi is on my permanent, rotating list to return to when in JC.

We live in JSQ and have have tried several of the Indian restaurants in JC, always finding our way back to Rasoi. Their food is always so fresh and tasty + the portions are great for the price point. We always get the Amritsari Choley (chickpeas), Saag Paneer, Dal Tadka, and Chicken Tikka Masala with a side of naan and even our 2.5 year old enjoys the meal with us. We usually get 2/4 dishes medium spice level and the other half mild. I'm happy to report, after dozens of take out orders over the years, we've never had an issue with poor quality, items missing or incorrect in our order, or delays in receiving our food. Highly recommend and will continue ordering from Rasoi. Like many restaurants, you'll save a few bucks calling in your order Vs pickup on their webesite or ubereats.

I love this spot. It's great at lunch because you don't need to know what you're doing to enjoy the buffet. For dinner, the options are excessive - I mean 100+ items on the menu is unnecessary. Keep it to 30 and we're good. So, it's hard to know what to get if you aren't all-knowing on your Indian food. But, with that being said, I've never gotten something that I did not like.

I ordered from this restaurant for a Thanksgiving family dinner. Rasoi was nice enough to prepare the catering order for the same day. I called in the morning, and the food was ready to pick up by 3 pm. Rasoi has an extensive menu and varies from different Indian cuisines (Gujarati, Punjabi, South Indian) - including vegetarian and nonvegetarian. I ordered two small trays ($45 each and can feed 8-10 people) of entrees and one small of naans. The entrees include a complimentary small tray of jeera rice and salad (lettuce, onion, tomatoes, lemons). Although the customer service was excellent and order was made rapidly, food quality wasn't the best. I've had tasty, delightful flavors when I catered from other restaurants and paid the same price. I ordered paneer burji and malai kofta. The paneer burji was watery and had a lot of peas. Also, it was not spicy at all and was very bland. The malai kofta had a tastier curry but was still sweet. In addition, the kofta (ball-shaped pieces made of paneer, potatoes, and spices) was packaged separately and was not enough for 8-10 people. The jeera rice was alright, and the salad wasn't fresh. The naan was soft and buttery, which everyone loved. Overall, the food quality is below average, and this restaurant is overhyped. I would recommend checking out Bombay Blue (Edison) and Canteen Desi Dhaba (Jersey City). The catering menu is the same, but the food quality is ten times better.

I LOVE RASOI! My go-to for Indian when I am in JC. Food is always delicious and so authentic. My family and I have been visiting for years. Highly, highly recommend for eat-in or take-out. I have not had their buffet, so cannot comment.

Ordered take out from Rasoi several times. Ordered lamb dishes. Great portion sizes. Food was good.

Most authentic and well reviewed restaurant in the Little India neighborhood of Jersey City. From their appetizers, samosas come two per order with three chutneys. All of their chaats are very flavorful. And garlic naan with good texture. Entrees. Favorite by far is their vindaloo, I've had both the goat and lamb. Very smooth creamy curry with flavorful herbs. Special biryani comes with an assortment of meats. The Rasoi platter is also popular, also another assortment of meats. Entrees typically run between $14-20. Overall 5/5 don't forget to order a mango lassi!

Best chicken makhani ever! I've been going to this restaurant for over 25 years and it truly is the best Indian restaurant in New Jersey. And I have tried many.

Great service,very courteous staff and great food.We loved their chilli chicken,fried rice and goat curry.

My fiancé and I were walking by this restaurant and thought let's give it a shot. When we looked from outside it was barely any people and this area is usually pretty busy. So I was a little skeptical from the beginning. There was a girl who looked at us when we walked in - didn't ask us anything. some guy came after and asked how many people - we said 2. We were told to choose our table. When I walked in, all I could smell was cigarettes so right off the bat I was turned off by the service and environment. What even made it worse - our waiter had a Covid mask on when he came up to us to give us the menu. As he started to ask us what we want he was coughing. I told him give me a few mins. I told my fiancé I am not eating here. Not after the waiter coming to us with a mask and coughing! Absolutely ridiculous! When he came over again I told him the order but to go. While I was waiting for the food I hear the girl that was standing at the door coughing and sneezing. I took the food, paid and dropped the food nearby. I was not going to eat from a place that had sick people working. If I could give this people a zero I would.

All these years later, and I still cannot get enough of this place. Rasoi in Jersey City is a CLASSIC & the establishment is a staple for indian food. For me and my family, it's the place we compare every other indian restaurant to (and we have yet to find anything better!). Not to say that other places aren't good, because they definitely are, they just don't hit the spot like Rasoi does. Ordering food here is usually family style, get a few dishes and share them with the table. The staff is so kind, friendly, will give great suggestions and they're quick. The parking situation however, is not too great, you'll find yourself circling around to find an empty meter on a busy night so I would plan ahead. They've never had outdoor dining before COVID, but this year they have a cute little set up and I am so here for it! They're also a BYOB place, so def don't forget your wine and beer at home. Some of my favorites: - Paneer/Chicken Makhni - TO DIE FOR. This is my go to. I'm vegetarian so I get the paneer, but the chicken is supposed to be just as good. It's basically in this rich & creamy tomato and onion based sauce. Trust me, if you get this once from here, you will come back craving it in no time. - Navratan Korma - If you want to have the same creamy taste as the paneer makhni but you want to get some veggies in, choose this! It has assorted vegetables in the flavorful gravy which makes it super yummy. For the Makhnis and the Korma, I recommend getting the medium spicy level, I think it's just enough without being overpowering. - Chana Masala: Super good. Very flavorful but has a different taste than the paneer makhni and the navratan korma, which makes it a good addition to the table - Mango Lassi - MUST HAVE DRINK with your meal. It's a thick yogurt and mango based drink. Super yummy, but also sweet -- so if you're not into really sweet things, you might want something else. What not to get: - Aloo gobi - It's just kind of dry for my taste. I just think there are better things on the menu! I also don't love cauliflower so maybe I am biased. - The Pina colada - Just way too sweet for my taste. Overall, favorite place. If you've never tried indian food, this is the place to do it!

Such a gem in the neighborhood. Four of us ordered 4 dishes and that's more than enough (family style). Chicken biryani is a classic and simialr to any other restaurant, but my favorite was the chili chicken masala. The spicy flavor really elevated the classic dish. Chicken. Makahni tasted very similar to masala but more on the sweeter side. Baltic chicken was interesting but not as memorable as the other curry dishes.

The food is really good, but the last time I came here I literally saw a mouse run through the restaurant and I lost my appetite. Hopefully once the place meets sanitary standards I can come back again

I love Rasoi, it's probably my favourite spot on Newark Avenue when I'm craving an Indian feast! It feels a little more restaurant-y than the other spots in the neighbourhood as it has a bar and a liquor license and proper plates, cutlery, white tablecloths etc. The decor isn't bad either (although they do have these odd colour changing lights in the ceiling that give it a bit of a cheesy 70's disco vibe). At lunchtimes, there's a buffet and it is the best one in the area with a vast array of different dishes to choose from. At night the menu is a la carte and there is a long menu with plenty to choose from. Both mealtimes have plenty of vegetarian options and there's even a smattering of Chinese dishes available. Dinner portions are on the large side, I'd recommend ordering a variety of things for the table and sharing everything. One of my favourite things to order here is the Rasoi Platter which contains a variety of grilled meats - so good. All the food is good though, with the exception of the breads. I've tried a few different ones and always been a bit underwhelmed but hey they have poppadoms so I just order those. Service seems a bit muddled and chaotic at times but it all works out okay and every table gets complimentary poppadoms and chutneys which is a nice touch. Prices are extremely reasonable.

Before covid you would find me here every Saturday for lunch buffet, I enjoyed their food very much. Now, I have been ordering delivery and the food is still amazing, the portions are huge, and the price is right. I miss seeing the friendly staff and the amazing host that would greet you with the biggest smile. Try the lamb korma, garlic naan, samosa chaat, and the panipuri.

Eaten here twice and the food is delicious. Food comes fast & the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.

I moved to Hoboken in June of 2019 and my cousins invited me to dinner and a movie at their place on Friday night. She insisted that this was the most authentic Indian food around, and me not knowing anything about Indian food except a couple of sporadic chicken tikka masala dishes over the years, I naturally just said ok. Welp it's been almost two years and I couldn't tell you if this is the most authentic Indian around, but I can confirm it's mouthwatering enough that I've never tried another Indian restaurant in the area. The movie title may change weekly, we may have company come through and add another dish or two to the order, but restaurant has been consistent the whole time. Rasoi is part of our little family tradition: Baigan Bharta, Chicken Tikka (no sauce), garlic naan, roti, basmati rice and samosas with that good good brown sauce. I've also had the goat curry, lamb curry, chicken tikka masala and probably a few others, all delicious! When I'm having a crappy Wednesday... this is what I dream about during Zoom calls that drag on for hours... only two days until Rasoi & a movie and I'll be in my happy place again.

Ordered from Rasoi on grubhub on a Saturday evening after reading some great reviews on yelp as well as other blogs/food articles. Surprised the overall star rating isn't much higher on yelp because this was the best Indian I've had in Jersey City. Many other spots wind up being very greasy, but the dishes I tried from Rasoi were fresh and authentic. We got the samosa chaat, rasoi assortment (chickpea battered fried pepper, paneer, and potato), chicken tikka masala, sag paneer, and garlic naan. Absolutely loved everything. This is 100% my new local indian takeout spot.

Let me tell you how much money I've spent at this place. If you're looking for me, you can probably find me here at least one day of the week at their lunch buffet. Tip: Friday's and Saturday's have the best lunch buffet because they have panipuri. (See photos of multiple times of me dining in and ordering out)

I can't speak to every single item on the menu, but I have to say that Rasoi's manchow soup is the BEST in town. Seriously hits the spot, every single time. I would honestly say it's even better than the one indo-chinese place in the area. My husband is from Mumbai, and said it seriously tastes super authentic. 5 stars because there have been some days, where all we could think about was this soup and we would literally only order that. It always put a smile on our face, because it's just that good. Thanks Rasoi!

They claim it's Northern Indian cooking, they must be the worst cooks in Northern India.

I ordered takeout and it was delicious. Garlic naan and sag paneer. It came with so much food! The flavors were nicely balanced.
