It’s sad to see what happened to this restaurant. When Curry Leaf first opened, the food was amazing. I used to eat there three times a week. Unfortunately, after the ownership changes, the quality went downhill.
Rasa has terrible food, poor customer service, and a filthy environment. The only positive is that it’s cheap, but low prices don’t make up for a bad dining experience. In my opinion, there are far better Indian restaurants in Grand Rapids. I’m extremely disappointed and will never return.

Very disappointed with my order. I ordered chicken mejistic , but I received the wrong item. Unfortunately, the food quality was also very poor—the taste was bad, and the food seemed spoiled and was not fresh at all. This was a very unpleasant experience, especially considering the price paid. I expected much better quality and proper service. I would not recommend ordering from this restaurant until they improve their food quality and order accuracy.
Really enjoyed our visit! The restaurant has been newly renovated and is actually two restaurants in one. We ate on the Indian side and chose the buffet, which was a great way to try lots of different dishes.
Everything was fresh, flavorful, and constantly replenished. There was a nice variety of foods from different parts of India, and nothing was overly spicy. The servers were kind.
I will definitely come back. If you’re new to Indian food or want to try a variety of dishes, I highly recommend going on a buffet day.
Not once or twice they made a joke out of ordering or eating food at their place.
Ordered a veg and non-veg appetizer for pickup and if they don’t have it they can say it and offer alternatives which they did for veg, but for chicken they took some leftover chicken 65 or that kind and tossed in majestic sauce and called it majestic chicken.. if it was not during night I could have driven back and asked them to eat and say what they did.
Second time the buffet- most of the dishes are empty and cold when atleast another 2 hours is left for closing. They won’t refill and I asked for lamb pulao and waited 30 mins and all the time they are asking we are making… if refilling a food item takes 30 mins just take it out of buffet. Their drink madam milk is out and they never have it by 1:30pm - why ? On top of it they say we will make it right next time. So can I say I will pay next time ?
Third time I don’t recall exacts. But better be it!!
Done with their ambience or buffet or ala-carte!!
I’m not going anymore.
I placed my order by phone a full hour before I arrived, so it should have been ready when I walked in. It wasn't. When I asked about it, the kitchen told me it would be 5 minutes. I ended up waiting a whole hour.
That's two hours for a phone order, and the "5 minutes" was simply untrue. If you're running behind, say so. Being honest about the wait lets customers decide whether to stay or leave. Being lied to wastes their time and shows a lack of respect.
Poor order management and misleading answers. I won't be back, and I'd suggest ordering elsewhere.
