Rasa (Worth going to 3rd Floor)
Who says Malleswaram is conservative and not a place to go around & chill out.
Been regular visitor to this place with my friend 'Kalyan' (I better mention about him otherwise he is going to kill me) who introduced me to this place. But everytime we go there, its a new experience.
Awesome ambience with 'mashal' stuck to the wall :) The seating arrangement is very good... [Dont expect cusioned seating & fancy table...]
We generally sit close to the DJ (for obvious reasons - to flood him with requests & he obliges it also). Yes, music is something which is been worked upon but you would still listen to artists like ACDC, LP, GnR, Metallica (Limited tracks), Eagles but doesn't have Maiden, Megadeth, Godsmack, Pantera, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Nickelback to name a few.
The starters are worth having, esp non-veg (If you are a fish lover then ask for anything in fish). Occupy the place early to enjoy the evening as it generally gets crowded after 8/ 8.30.
Visit this place once to cherish the visit... Can go with opposite sex as well ;)
Cheers!!! Have a nice time!!!
PS - Pl dont litter the place & behave civilised...

Interesting Place
I went to the bar `Soma' ? on the third floor which is quite a nice place - and really nice for some place in Malleswaram. Provides a worthy alternative to Viking if one wants a drink in this part of the city. The Chinese place ( Khao ? ) is also quite nice but the decor is a little on the bizarre side - gun sticking out of the wall, rabid dog charging out... .
The prices had gone up by about 20% the second time I went there, so it wasn't as great a deal as it was the first time. A bottle of KF went up to Rs. 100 for 650ml from Rs.80 but I suppose that that may be related to the increase in prices all around. They promise to have draft beer soon but dont have it as yet. The cocktails are surprisingly affordable ( around 150 bucks ).

Food is rasila but the service is not....
Rasa is a new three-level restaurant in a bylane off the busy Sampige Road in Malleswaram. The first level has Hejje, which offers 'cuisines of Karnataka'. The second level has the Chinese-Thai eatery Khao, and the rooftop has Shish - a Continental, Tandoor, Mughlai place with a bar. Malleswaram has for long been badly in need of a decent restaurant offering something beyond dosas, minimeals and kulcha-kofta-biryani. Hopefully Rasa will meet the need.
Their promotion consisted of a glossy leaflet delivered with the daily newspaper, so one could assume that all Malleswaram knows about it. So it was surprising to see that the place was not very crowded on a Sunday night. My friends and I checked out all three levels before settling for Khao, where only one other table was occupied. The rooftop was the only place that was almost full.
Our expectations that the service would be swift, since the place was so empty, were sadly belied. Our first waiter did not seem to know everything that was on the menu and could not answer some of our questions. Thankfully someone better informed edged him out and took our orders. We went straight for the main course, of which the various items were brought one by one instead of together. A mocktail that one of us had ordered did not turn up at all, and she had to ask for it again - it was served with the desserts!
The food was the saving grace - all the dishes were quite good, though one of my friends found the Schezwan chicken quite spicy. I really liked the vegetarian Gaeng Pak - vegetables in coconut milk gravy, and the Malaysian flat noodles. The veg fried rice was not too bad either. The desserts on offer were not particularly Thai or Chinese, except a couple. We asked for gulabjamun and khubani ka meetha, both of which were not that great. (The best khubani ka meetha I've ever had was in Moksh, Jiggs Kalra's veg restaurant at the Chancery, which, sadly, is no more). But it was well worth it, considering that the bill for four people came to only Rs.615/-! The four stars in my rating are for the good food at low prices.
Rasa offers valet parking and home delivery. What they do not have, to my great disappointment, is a separate non-smoking area. Khao is just one big room with nice seating and well....interesting decor. If they improve their service and maintain the standard of their food, I suppose they should be able to become as busy as Shanthi Sagar!
