After our visit to the cheddar gorge we stumbled across this Indian restaurant so decided to have some dinner. Having after climbing the steep stairs we enter a really beautifully decorated restaurant so my expectations were high.Staff seemed tired but took us to our table. We were sat by the window with wonderful views. The restaurant had 3 other dining parties.Our table cloth had a stain on it. We ordered the mixed grill, lamb jalfrezi, chicken tikka biryani and 2 cokes.The cokes arrived and were rather flat; definitely did not quench my thirst, definitely end of the bottle of maybe a different version of cola.Food didn't take too long to arrive and the mixed grill smelled amazing and the presentation was well thought through.Taking a first bite of the lamb kofte: dry. The chicken tikka had a nice flavour but also rather dry. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection medium but was actually a little chewy. The onions were probably the best part of the mixed grill.. with a nice charred taste.Moving onto the chicken tikka biryani; lacked flavour; wheres the spices?Now onto the lamb jalfrezi, the lamb was cooked well and quite tender but being a spicy hot dish there wasn't hot for me, rather mild. So maybe this was just me personally and maybe the local taste is different. Prices were reasonable but I did find the taste rather bland, I couldn't taste the spices that you'd usually find in Indian cuisines. Never the less I ate all my food and was full and the other diners looked like they were all having a great time.

Excellent food, excellent service and fantastic ambience. We will definitely return when we are in Cheddar again. Thankyou for a lovely meal.

Great food served in a lovely restaurant by friendly and helpful staff, what more could you want?

We just got home from a wise last minute decision to go for a curry. The food was great, the service was great and the price was good. We are stuffed and happy and will be returning soon.

Me and my dad had the most amazing meal here last night. The food and service were fantastic, we will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing food, lovely staff, will definitely come here again, top marks amazing place x

Excellent food and very attentive staff. We'll definitely be back again ☺️

We really enjoyed our meal at the Rasoi. The decor was beautiful and we had a table in the window overlooking the town. The service was great, the waiters were very friendly and offered us popadoms to start which were fresh and delicious. They only offer non-alcoholic drinks but you can take your own alcohol or buy from the bar downstairs which was quite convenient.They brought the mains out on a trolley which was a nice touch, as well as the linen napkins, it was all very grand which we enjoyed the 5 star service.The food was absolutely delicious, we chose the special madras biryani which was exquisite, and a variety of other dishes including one of the chicken specials plus some vegetable dishes. The peshwari naan was so light and fluffy too.We were too full for dessert but there was a great selection on the menu, however they did give us some lovely orange chocolates with our bill, and offered us more when they saw we liked them!Thank you to the staff for the beautiful food and for making us feel so welcome.

We had the Sunday buffet meal. The starters were delicious and the portions a very good size. Would definitely come here again!
