Reviews for Saffron Burlingame (Formerly RASA) in Burlingame, CA
Amazing amazing restaurant. One of the best indian places in the bay area. One star less only because their appetizers and... drinks are decent but not very good. But the main course is really amazing. Especially the kofta curry. All the curries have aunique taste and it's not like the same base being used in multiple curries. Will definitely be back for more :) Read more
Good Indian food selection with a new style. Great taste, and they have outdoors and indoor seating. Staff is helpful and fast,... can be cheerful and more welcoming. Portions are on much smaller size and price is on much higher side. Read more
Outstanding dishes. The General tso's cauliflower, corn soup, beet berry salad, dosa, and sliders had rich and vibrant flavors.... Very fast and attentive service. Patio seating was pretty, but a little loud as we were seated near some big groups. Willdefinitely be back. Read more

Food was really great ..and so was the service. butter naan was below average ..aam sutra cocktail and rasa drinks were not at... all good and had were very sweet. Rum old fashioned was good. Ambience was very very loud for the small space with the musicand people clamoring .. we could enjoy the ambience after 8 15 pm. For the price and ambience, I would actually rate a 3.5 stars Read more
Everything was divine. We started with several appetizers and a couple of drinks, progressed to the lamb and fish curries, and... finished with a delicious cardamom ice cream and puff pastries. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I amhesitant to suggest what to order because everything was really good, I’m pretty sure if on picks what they are interested inthey will like it. But I didn’t take one picture for you. Read more
Rasa offers great Indian food with some focus on South Indian cuisine. Very refined food and elegant looking plates. We ordered... pepper fries for starters. It was South Indian Bhajji and North Indian chaat in one plate, tasted really good. The gingercocktail is very refreshing. Genovese dosa is a great twist to traditional masala dosa, loved it. Pumpkin kofta and Keralaparotta is delicious. You must try Coconut Espuma in desert, which is mind blowing, that definitely is a Michelin star dessert.The service is good but is not at par with what we expect from a restaurant with so many credits. That’s the only thing thatdisappointed us. It was a special occasion that we went for, but it felt like a regular dinner place. At the same time we alsounderstand the trouble they are facing with staffing and managing to keep the restaurant open for their customers during toughtimes. We were glad that we could dine at Rasa. The food here is definitely a must try. Read more
