I love Love LOVE this place!! I like Indian food, but this place puts a twist on it that makes it even better. I'm vegetarian so I can't speak about the meat dishes, but all the veggie items are crazy good. The decor is serene and lovely. The staff and owner are warm, friendly and eager to please. I really can't say enough good things about this place. Just go there.

Rasoi snapped me out of my canadian food coma and made me see the flavourful and gorgeous light.
I am proud to say I have eaten here twice and beam about it.
Great service, cucumber water, incredible wine and Jash the owner will make you feel like you are being cooked for at your home.

As a lover of world cuisine, I was thrilled to learn that my friend's brother Jash is the owner of Rasoi. And it took me THIS long to finally try it out.
The decor is clean, modern and elegant as I walked in. Jash greeted me warmly and got me a glass of water (cool, refreshing cucumber water with not too much ice) as I looked over the menu.
I chose the coconut curry shrimp with naan to start. The curry was flavourful, but delicate and fresh tasting. There was a slice of lemon perched atop the tiger shrimp, which is both visually stunning and delish. And the naan? Holy. I love naan bread, but these sweet, soft beauties are the best I've had in a long time. When I was finished with the shrimp dish, Jash brought me some more naan to enjoy the curry with. Good thing! I wouldn't want to waste any of it. Compliments to the chef (who I also got to meet)!
I also tried a new lager from Montreal. Refreshingly Canadian and a surprisingly beautiful complement to the Indian fusion food.
Also, Rasoi's equipped with free wireless and is fairly quiet for weekday dinner time. You will need to come early or make reservations for weekends, though. Will definitely come back with a group of friends for some after work bevvies. Gotta say, I love it! -

We visited this restaurant during a Vine and Dine event. And I was in heaven.
I did think we were going for Indian, but during the introduction it was made very clear that it is more of an Indian fusion, with flavours inspired by Indian cuisine, but using lots of local ingredients.
I love Indian food, and this was just as good. It was amazing to have those flavours in the food, and a good transition to my partner who had never eaten Indian before.
The food was so detailed it's hard to come up with it all, and the menu changes with the seasons since they are supporting local farmers. When were were there we had a bison roast which was to die for yum, and a squash soup which had a goats milk cheese twisted through.
Definitely a place to visit! It's quaint and the staff all seem very passionate. -

I was hunting for someplace a bit "different" to take a friend for a belated birthday supper. Natasha K's review of Rasoi convinced me that this place was worth a shot. Indian fusion sounded like it had just enough of a twist.
Monday night turned out to be a great night to head up Marda Loop way. We had no trouble finding a place to park on the street and we had the place to ourselves when we first walked into Rasoi.
The decor was clean and trendy, the lighting wasn't too dim or too bright, and our server was just the right amount of friendly without being overwhelming.
We perused the menu for a bit, but ended up ordering from their Karma Menu. What is a Karma Menu you ask? Well, for $30, you get an appy, an entree and dessert. The menu is set out with two choices for appys, same for entrees and then this yummy little Indian doughnut kind of thing to finish it off. The bonus is that once food costs are covered, the extra money made from the Karma Menu is donated to a charity in India. I was in do-gooder heaven.
The best part of the meal was the pakora, although my sweet tooth wants me to say it was the dessert. The beef and veggie entrees we ate ran a very close second.
At first I gave Rasoi four yums up, but the Karma Menu got them their fifth star. It's only running into December though, so definitely try these guys out soon. -

This is a sexy little restaraunt that seats maybe 35. It is comfortable trendy, good service and has ample parking.
So why only 3 stars? I am an Indian and am always trying and disappointed by these 'new' fusion Indian restaurants coming out. They are way overpriced and adding a large wine list does not constitute fusion. Wild caribou or smoked salmon samosa's (if someone uses these, I would like the credit ;)) are fusion, under spiced everyday Indian food with an English description is not.
Don't get me wrong, the food here was good and if you haven't had Indian food before you will enjoy this, but as an Indian growing up with this food I expect more.
One pet peeve I did have about this place was at these prices, clear away and bring new cutlery for each course. Taking my dirty fork from my dish and putting it back on the table just looks really sloppy. -

Overall I failed to see the western infusion of the whole western/indian fusion. There were crab cakes and that was about it.
Overall the flavours are decent but not enough to wow. The lamb entree and pistachio cake were the best of the night. Pani puri was a let down though.
Good natured waitress. For the price I would ask for more. -

Rasoi is a Marda Loop gem I wish more people knew about. Indian fusion at its finest. Small but to the point menu and there's usually some sort of feature going on like the Karma menu that's happening right now. Jash (the owner) knows his stuff and has created something unique in the vast Foodie-land that is Calgary and I wish him much success!
Do yourself a favour, try it! -
