Rasoï

La nourriture est excellente.
Le décor est très original, la musique est très bonne!
Par contre, le pourboire suggéré lors du paiement interact est de 17% et je n’ai pas pu le changer.

Amazing food and service. I will definitely be coming back. We didn’t have reservations but the owner was kind enough to find us a table.

Amazing Indian fusion restaurant. I have tried a variety of their dishes and my favorite is the vindaloo… service is always exceptional as is the food!

Such a disappointing experience! Went to Rasoi a few weeks ago with a group of 14 people. We had a $ 35 4 course fixed menu. I knew we were off to a bad start when one of the group members showed up late and missed the first course. and the servers refused to serve her the food she missed. Oh sorry, or she could PAY EXTRA to get the first course. We are talking about an onion bahji here… One little fried appetizer! Would it have been a trouble for them to bring it to her? Absolutely not. Service is off to a great start. From there things just went from bad to worse. The time between courses was a good 20 – 30 minutes, and the portions were oh so small! For a table of 4, we were served 3 pieces of shrimp. Three. When we inquired about the missing shrimp, we were told it was not missing. You only get 3 shrimp for 4 people, and 4 shrimp for 6 people… What!!! We were served lots of bland vegetables to fill in space. Finally we got the naan pizzas. they were very tasty, but once again very small and not enough food. When we complained this time, the manager agreed to bring us an extra pizza. Wow finally doing something to accommodate! The curry dishes were good but by this time (I had probably been at the restaurant for almost 3 hours now), everyone was just pissed and it was hard to enjoy the meal. All the servers were so rude. It is unfortunate because the food is actually delicious but I will NEVER go back due to the extremely poor service. these people don’t know how to treat customers. Of course then we were forced to tip well thanks to the service being included as we were a group… thanks for stealing more of my money!

The food tastes nice and was cooked well. Ordered the chilli paneer which was delicious. The tandoori tikka paneer is great as well. However, my only complaint is that the portions are really small.

We ordered from Rasoï online last night and had a very unpleasant experience.
Order came close to 30 minutes late, even though we literally live about 1 metro station distance away from the actual restaurant. It was a Friday after work so delivery seemed like a nice treat.
We were disappointed by tiny portions of both the $ 12 Butter Chicken (I counted six inch-​sized cubes of Chicken which arrived in a small styrofoam cylinder mostly full of lukewarm non-​spicy sauce) and also the $ 14 Vindaloo Goat Curry (which, to be fair, had tasty sauce, but was marred by a lack of goat and had two large bones which gave the illusion of the container being full.)
The $ 4 marinated carrots were okay but unremarkable.
The Garlic Naan was tasty but only one small piece for $ 3, so I ran out mid-​meal and had to resort to using a fork.
BTW no rice is included with the prices above. Expect to just get nearly full, lilliputian Styrofoam containers with questionable meat to sauce ratio.
When you add in the $ 2.99 delivery fee, safe to say that I won’t be ordering from there again. I wonder if the in house experience would be better? But if so, why treat some customers better than others?

Location: On Notre-​Dame West, a few minutes away from the Lionel-​Groulx station. Street parking is available but metered. You may find free parking in some of the partially zoned areas (residential) but check the signage.
The place: I LOVED the Indian-​ispired décor: gorgeous brick walls, beautiful furniture + lighting, and the large sculpture of Ganesha complete the look and offer up a warm and cozy atmosphere. Let’s not forget those crazy colourful ceilings, either!
The food: After reading great reviews, I’d bookmarked Rasoi as a place to try. When the opportunity arose to do lunch with a friend, we decided to stop in. Having had two breakfasts (OK, don’t judge), I kept my order small — I went with the Tuna Tartar [on mango and avocado served with a spiced mango purée and tortilla chips]. There was nothing Indian about this dish at all. Now, did I know this when I ordered? Yes. However, I expected this wouldn’t matter since I’m a big fan of literally, all the above ingredients. While the presentation was pretty, the food itself was bland. I’m talking zero use of seasoning or spices, here. There’s only so much you can do with raw tuna, but avocado and mango? You can totally spice/​flavour that sh*t up. I’m not sure if the tortillas were store-​bought or homemade, but they were also lacking in flavour. My side of naan was good but again, the flavour was missing. On the flip side, my friend ordered the vegetarian Thali and loved it. I could smell the amazing flavours emanating from her dish and regretted not ordering the same thing. The onion Bhaji was great, as were the chick peas. There was Basmati and naan served with this dish, along with a few other things that I don’t recall — my date seriously enjoyed everything but the pickled carrots. I had a taste and I’m not sure if these guys were pickled in wine or cider but umm, no. Totally didn’t work.
Service: Under normal circumstances, this is where I would dock stars but our waiter was alone on the floor, and the place literally filled up right after we arrived. I’m sure Rasoi staffs accordingly during rush hour, but it was unfortunate to see our poor server running around trying to cater to everyone, while apologizing repeatedly for delays.
Price point: Depends what you order — my Tartar (it was an appetizer not a main) + naan was $ 20 with tax. The Thali ranges between $ 15-​$ 21 though I’m not sure why. I’m going to presume this has to do with whether or not there’s meat involved…

Almost perfect, but not quite so! I love their indian fusion cuisine! The tuna tartar with an indian twist– very exciting! Butter chicken is just the best in town. However some items on the menu are just little better then average, thus a 4star. Nevertheless we love going to rasoi.
Almost forgot NEVER take their doughnuts soaked in something like «rose» water (not sure, see the menu). It was close to one of the most horrible things that i tasted!!!

A wonderful addition to this fast growing St Henri neighborhood. This is Indian fusion food and not for people expecting the «traditional» menu. They do a wonderful job blending traditional with modern. It’s an eclectic menu with freshly prepared food a friendly, chill vibe.
We went for an early-​ish dinner (6PM) so it wasn’t too crowded and were able to snag an outdoor table. The mango salad was terrific (but be warned: even though the menu says it comes with tuna, what they don’t tell you is that they charge you an extra $ 6 unless you tell them you don’t want it).
Nice curries, freshly cooked naan, great appetizers too. Definitely worth a stop here.
Be patient tho — the food takes awhile (cause it’s fresh!). So enjoy a beer or a drink, talk to the people you’re with and relax!

Whether you’re indian or not, dont go in there. Specially if you’re not, coz it will spoil your impression on Indian food.
Tapas isn’t just serving small portions with a fat bill. Its the quality and care given to each dish.
Food took 45mins. Naan was cold, sent that back.
The owner gave a free crème brûlée as a dessert. Hence three stars. But otherwise one.

Excellent restaurant pour ce qui est de la qualité des plats et la fraîcheur des ingrédients. Leur menu cocktail est également très créatif. Service un peu inconstant d’une visite à l’autre mais somme toute adéquat. Décor très agréable et la terrasse plutôt jolie.

Just ordered from Rasoi using a delivery service (
).
Butter chicken was very watery and chicken, the very little there was, was very dry. A very unsatisfying meal for $ 25 with tip (butter chicken and white rice, no drink). Delivery was 90 minutes because of a demonstration in town, even though the place is 5 minutes by car if you ask Google Maps.
Oh, and you have to use your hands to eat as they do not deliver with utensils or even a napkin.
Sorry, but Rasoi sucks.

Un très bon souper avec happy hour à 5 $/​bière ou 30 $/​bouteille de vin.
Le poulet tandoori arrive fumant, la poutine de chèvre est un délice, l’agneau et son riz, un succès. Un régal pour les papilles dans un décor féérique aux couleurs vives et lumières tamisées.
Petit bémol côté service, trop de service tue le service, on se sent un peu observé et pas sitôt fini son assiette qu’on nous l’enlève. Attention aussi au 17% d’office attribué au service lors du paiement par CB.
Sinon rien à dire la nourriture est super bonne et originale. Belle découverte!

How should we start
Called a week or two ahead for 15 people. Called & emailed the day before to say we’d be closer to 10.
Poured out wine into the wrong people’s glasses then tried to throw our glasses out. Even though we were only 9 people they forgot drinks. Tried to take away mid-​done glasses of gin. Poured white wine into half filled glasses of people’s rosé. The chef made a point of visiting the table once asked and was more than friendly but that didn’t make up for the waitresses lack of attention.
We weren’t allowed to only have portions for the number of people who showed up. We were stuck with the portions for 15 people despite telling them a day in advance and despite telling them at the time we were less people. It’s a Friday night. It’s IMPOSSIBLE that the food UNCOOKED would have gone bad before their next service. ENTIRELY un-​effing-​acceptable. I couldn’t believe a restaurant would act so recklessly when it comes to people buying 7+ $ 8 drinks on top of 6 bottles of wine and gave advanced notice of a possibly smaller group. Then they decided to «be nice» and only charge us for 13 people. When the confirmation call for the reservation was made, we were told we could move chairs, and that a change in numbers wouldn’t be a problem. As if that was some huge favor. They also accepted a reservation for 830, knowing that their service takes so long and that they were «doing us a favor» by staying open late while we waited for our food. Our main dishes hadn’t even come by 10:50. The last service, the actual main dishes, they gave us only 3 portions instead of the 4. So they’re charging us for 13 «as a favor» but giving us portions for 12. So much for a favor… and these dishes aren’t even enough to be mains for individuals, sincerely nothing impression in regards to portion size.
The appetizers were good. The salads were awful. $ 12.80 bottle of SAQ wine for $ 38? That’s way more than mark up.
Would I come back as a a group? F*** no. As a couple? I would certainly come in and enjoy a couple of dishes with someone who could offer good conversation. The way this was treated as a smaller than expected group was entirely unacceptable and clearly avoidable. We tried to compensate with other purchases (like over priced wines and drinks) yet we were met with nothing more than callous disregard for repeat business. I would like to say that I wish the business the best of luck, but sincerely, I don’t.
$ 110 (18% added to the bill for tip despite the service by the waitress being less than prime to say the least) later I am SERIOUSLY disappointed. Certainly no desire to return beyond the décor and maybe 2 – 3 plates to share. To quote another reviewer (Blake) «The food: over priced, overwrought, unimaginative, tepid and unfulfilling.»

My boyfriend has been obsessed with trying this place out for a month now and today, he found that they offered delivery for lunch and he decided to surprise me with a miss-​mash of some of their delicacies.
I was lukewarm to start with, I live literally a stone throw from two fairly decent Indian restaurants, but fine. He’s paying after all.
The BF ordered the tandoori paneer, a fried rice and some seared tuna. The seared tuna and the paneer; both flavourless. BORING, BORING, BORING. Not bad, just not, anything. And that is not something I ever imagined saying about Indian food, not from any region, any time or any place.
The only redeeming thing was the slaw with the tuna, which was a mango and pistachio mix which I did enjoy, but it would have been better if it were more crisp. This didn’t feel fresh to me.
The fried rice was passable and the only thing I actually ate more than one bite of. I did like the flavours and the pieces of chicken and shrimp. But fried rice isn’t going to give me the incentive to order from here again, let alone visit the restaurant.

Great food. Great service .
Very nice place too
Had 8 different items on the menu … And we could not complaints on anything
Good twist on the Poutine too

Dined here with friends and thoroughly enjoyed the flavours, smells environment of this place. the service was very friendly and the prices reasonable. Our orders were taken in a timely fashion and delivered hot very tasteful.

Lorsque vous entrerez dans ce restaurant votre esprit sera transporté dans un environnement indien enchanteur !
La nourriture est de grande qualité et j’y ai dégusté une pizza au figues et au fromage paneer plus qu’ excellente. Vous vous sentirez à l’aise dans ce bon restaurant au décor fin !
C’est le meilleur restaurant Indien à Montréal et si vous désirer gouter la meilleure nourriture indienne avec un très bon service, faites-​vous une faveur et essayer ce restaurant !
when i enter in this restaurant the decoration will takes your mind in a little trip to India.
The food is as good as the decoration and they do takes chances. we taste a delicious paneer cheese and fresh fig pizza that was tasteful and new !
You will find yourself at ease in this nice restaurant and i think it’s fair to say that it’s one of the best Indian restaurant in Montréal ! We also taste the curry chicken and it was very good. The service is as good as the food !
This restaurant is in a class all by himself, and if you want to taste the best Indian food in town with a excellent service, this is the place to try !

Cute little place. Very good prices. Smells delicious when you enter.

Dining in Rasoi was an enjoyable and flavourful experience. We were party of nine and our long table was in process of being set up when we arrived, so the bar was the obvious place to attack with an immediate demand for Bloody Caesar. The smiling bartender fixed a pretty good drink for some of us, mine being non virgin and non vegetarian spicy version with beautiful piece of bacon.
Once seated our orders were collected promptly. Bring a magnifier if you have one as the menu is written in the smallest possible script and it may be hard to read the detailed descriptions of the dishes. Appetizers and mains arrived orderly, and were served with a smile, even the chef checked on us. The arugula salad was nice mix of fresh ingredients and could be ordered without the few fried calamari pieces, which I realized too late. For mains I tried two of the traditional Indian vegetarian dishes: okra masala and chick peas. Both were absolutely delicious and quite spicy, definitely not spicy hot, but seasoning was used generously. The food was served in small bowls and its quantity is more of a tapas size, but I find it sufficient in terms of value for money.
The interior design of Rasoi is to write for, there are a lot of nice cultural elements incorporated in the brick walls that indicate the ethnicity of the cuisine you would try, but the ceiling is what made me smile that night. Its colourful hippy flowers remind the 70s and made me sing in my mind «love, peace, freedom, happiness». My only complaint is the fact that my cloths smelled curry the next day, obviously the ventilation in the kitchen can be improved, but this is not a good reason to remove rating starts. Great dining option in the area!

Located right in St-​Henri Rasoi is a restaurant that focuses on Indian fusion. They have plenty of dishes that are considered traditional Indian food but they also have a few that combine Indian cuisine with that of another country. Prices are reasonable for the area.
The décor is Indian-​inspired but also very warm and inviting. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by a very friendly host who seated us immediately. Our waitress was also efficient and welcoming. The only minor complaint I have is that after our main dishes were cleared we weren’t asked if we wanted dessert, coffee or tea and we had to flag her down to get the bills.
To start I had Street Cart Spring Rolls which were traditional spring rolls with an Indian twist. They had been seasoned with curry which was different but added a nice touch. I topped it off with a naan pizza which was loaded with tandoori chicken, yogourt, cheese and onions. The pizza was quite heavy but I really liked the chicken on it. Most restaurants play it safe with the spice but these guys don’t and I like that!
They have happy hour specials on beer and wine seven days a week. We were able to split a bottle of wine for $ 30 which was pretty reasonable. Also take note that the restaurant was fairly packed so it is best to play it safe and reserve (which you can easily do from the Unilocal app FYI).

Le quartier St Henri se repeuple d’habitants longtemps abandonné par les guerres de gangs mais aussi d’excellents restaurants!
Razoï est une excellente surprise et un lieu accueillant.
Tous d’abord le décor est somptueux, inspiré de l’orient et en particulier de l’Inde.
Je qualifie la cuisine d’indien fusion.
Je recommande leur cocktail en particulier le mojito aux mangues, un délice!
Le curryest délicieux.
Niveau prix: 20 – 30 $ /​personnes pour un repas complet

Amazing food, atmosphere, and waitstaff. Great, charismatic executive chef who checked in on our table to ensure we were satisfied. The food is absolutely delicious (we got channa masala, chilli paneer, coconut seafood curry, goat vindaloo, garlic naan, and bhatura). Also yummy drinks. We will definitely be back each time we’re in Montréal!

I walked in on a whim with a friend from Toronto after we were given the cold shoulder at the burgundy lion.
Everything was perfect from the start. Rex was an amazing host and the wait staff were attentive and friendly (shout out to Val).
We loved the food suggested by Rex and will definitely be back for more. Thanks for making my out of town friend feel at home. Great job, great food.

Dreadful.
Boring, overpriced food, obnoxious servers, and creepy management. Caught the owner lewdly gazing at my girlfriend. Not my favourite dining experience!

C’est par un vendredi pluvieux que j’ai décidé avec ma copine d’aller essayer ce nouveau restaurant indien cuisine fusion du sud ouest. Il se situe au 3459 Notre-​Dame Ouest, c’est juste à côté du marché Atwater.
Avant de commencer, si vous voulez juste savoir si vous devez y aller ou non: Vous devez y aller. Pour les autres, je continue avec ma critique.
Pour ceux qui né le savent pas, j’aime bien l’indien. J’ai essayé le Cari Mela dans le coin qui était pour moi un choix sûr. Par contre, je dois dire que Rasoï est dans une classe à part du Cari Mela, c’est beaucoup plus de qualité.
En entrant, vous pouvez déjà y voir une atmosphère différente.
C’est fait pour être plus zen. Ma banquette avait des petits coussins sur celle-​ci, on né trouve pas ça partout.
Le menu est assez simple, mais offre beaucoup une dizaine de choix. Tous, sinon presque tous, les mets sont indiens. Il y a le grand classique du poulet au beurre et tandoori.
Nous avons commencé avec une entrée, du fromage pan’eer enrobé d’épices indiennes avec une petite salade. Sérieux, prenez ça à deux et ça sera malade dans votre bouche. C’est excellent.
Au niveau du plat principal, j’y suis été avec un classique poulet cari tikka qui vient avec un bol de riz et une salade. J’ai pris l’extra pain naan, car c’est très bon à manger pour ceux qui né connaissent pas. Le plat était délicieux. En terme de quantité, j’ai du prendre un doggy bag à la fin!
Ma copine a décidé de prendre une pizza suite aux conseils de la serveuse. Ça fait bizarre prendre une pizza dans un restaurant indien. La pâte de pizza était… du pain naan! La pizza qu’elle a choisi était figues et pan’eer. C’était un goût vraiment spécial et très goûteux. Je vous avouerai qu’elle n’a pas été capable de manger toutes les figues puisque c’est sucré un peu.
Malheureusement, nous n’avions plus faim pour le dessert.
Je recommande beaucoup. La facture avec deux verres de vins (la sélection de bouteilles est quand même grande) a été de 77 $. Je risqué d’y retourner!
À découvrir!
