Rasoi - Providence?

I noticed that the new spot in the Garden Grille/LJ's strip looks open. Has anyone had an opportunity to give it a try?

    I went on opening night and then did takeout last night. My take is that there are some standout dishes and some less so. Considering that it occupies the same neighborhood as Not Just Snacks and India, I think they made a savvy decision to make it slightly more exotic than the standard fare, in order to differentiate. I had a chicken dish last night (Chicken Chettinad) which I found to be delicious and touched with spiciness. My husband really enjoyed the goat. Takeout is a smooth operation and they promise they'll be delivering soon. One more menu for the file...

      We went last week. It was wonderful. Open kitchen, attractive bar; doesnt look like Barney's anymore. The food was unusual, unlike most of the same-old choices in our few Providence Indian restaurants. My husband had something with lamb and I had something with eggplant. Meals are accompanied by a choice of rices or a very good potato dish and a chick pea mealnge. All wines by the bottle are $20 and by the glass 5.50 with a good selection of wines that you can't get at a liquor store for that price. Service was lovely. I highly recommend it!
