My house is in Rajaginagar, and our place has very few options when it comes to good non-vegetarian restaurants with good ambiance. Hence, we decided to head to Rasa in Malleswaram, which has three restaurants, Hejje (malnad style), Shish (open air) and Khao (Chinese). I have previously been Hejje and Shish several times (I am impressed with both restaurants), hence, decided to try out Khao.
Let me give you a crisp review on Khao:
Taste: The starters were quiet good, however, “clay pot fried rice” was a disappointment, it was normal fried rice which they decided to call clay pot fried rice. Overall, the food here is above average, but nothing to write home about.
Quantity: Reasonable
Price: Not very expensive, considering the area it is in and the ambiance of this restaurant. A heavy dinner for two without drinks should not cross 700 bucks.
Ambiance: This is the best part of this restaurant. The interiors are very well done; the lighting is not too bright, which is a good thing. If you are able to occupy the sofas (recommended), then you will be not feel that the place is crowded. However, they need to work on ergonomics, there is something about the sofas and the corresponding tables that make eating a little uncomfortable.
Service: Now that we have spoken about the best part of this restaurant, let me reveal the deal breaker for this restaurant. The service truly sucks; man I can go on and on about how bad the service is. You will have to wait for anywhere between 30 to 45 minutes for the first order, read starters, to be delivered, and another 45 minutes for subsequent orders (main course) to be delivered, even though you have placed the order for main course when you placed an order for starters. Your patience will be tested in more ways than one. I would recommend this place, if you want to test the patience of you partner and make a decision based on that, or if you are planning on raising a family in this restaurant.
Will I go there again?
Even though the ambiance is good and the food above average, I really don’t have the patience that is required to eat here.
