Rasam's menu features signature dishes from the southern states of India. We tried Dahi Vada, South Indian Lassi (buttermilk), and Butter Sada Dosa. The tempering on the dahi vada consisted of authentic southern flavours with the curd beaten up to just the right creamy consistency. The butter sada dosa was light, airy, and soft -- quite unlike the crisp versions available elsewhere. Personally, I would have liked the butter to shine through a bit more. The accompanying sambar and coconut chutney were top-notch too. We enjoyed the buttermilk very much as it was steeped in green chillies minus the heat, lending a unique flavour to the drink. The decor was simple and clean, with brass bells and wooden Kathakali masks on the walls. Carnatic music playing softly in the restaurant was a bonus. Had no idea that The Stadel offered such a pocket-friendly vegetarian dining option. We will definitely come back for more.
The best South Indian restaurant at Kolkata. It is really nice taste. I had Onion Rava Dosa, Rasam and Kesaria tea. Rasam was top notch authentic like they make in my village - they actually add real saffron in the kesaria tea which is a nice touch. One can really appreciate the quality and the attention to details in the making of the south Indian food. So glad I chose to dine in here. I will come again when I visit Kolkata again.
This place is the only name that comes to my mind when I am craving for authentic South-Indian meal. My personal favourite is the Sambar Vada and Plain Butter Dosa. And the oh-so-good filter coffee is a must after a sumptuous meal. Prompt service, polite and helpful staff and absolute cleanliness is their bonus point.
