Rasoy

Unforgettable Flavors & Top-Notch Service Shine

Nestled on a bustling street in Claygate, Rasoy offers not only a taste of Bengali and Indian cuisine but also an enchanting culinary narrative. Stepping inside, you're immediately enveloped by a warm, familial ambiance exuded by the friendly staff whose dedication to service hardly falters. During my spontaneous visit, I was graciously accommodated without a reservation, deftly underscoring their hospitality. The menu, teeming with vegetarian options akin to typical South Asian establishments, showcases dishes like the vegetable Pathia and mushroom pilau rice, each conveying an orchestra of spices and fresh produce that playfully pirouette across the palate.

Rasoy shines with authenticity, proudly reflecting the nuanced flavors typical of Bangladeshi kitchens fused with a hint of Sri Lankan tastes. Their Sunday banquet is a particularly pocket-friendly indulgence, dishing out sumptuous portions that would leave any gourmand at peace. Complementing my meal—a succulent plate of garlic chili chicken—was a Spanish house red wine, an unexpected testament to their well-rounded appreciation for variety. Yet, despite minor hiccups such as forgotten orders—which were promptly and courteously rectified—the establishment’s charm remains firm. Rasoy is indeed a vibrant gem, worth every effort whether for a soul-warming weekday dinner or a weekend bike jaunt that culminates in spicy, savory satisfaction. — Clarissa Cuisinier
