Chicken Tikka + Avocado Salad Good stuff. plenty of flavor. A bit of "spiciness" (heat), enough to make it interesting without going overboard. I don't actually recall, but there are probably options from completely mild to "call 911!" I got spinach and "sexygreens" (kale & arugula) as the base, and added the "potato & cauliflower" option.
I also opted for the Garlic Naan, which uses RAW, FRESH garlic, and plenty of it. Pretty powerful. My wife found it overwhelming; but once I realized what it actually was (At first I thought it was some exotic Indian spice or herb, but then I recognized it was just very strong raw garlic), I liked it. But it's not for the faint of heart. They also offer plain naan.
Especially with the naan, this is a full meal, and then some, depending on how hungry you are. I ended up saving part of mine for the next day.
AND, with the DashPass BOGO, it was an excellent deal. I liked it, will probably get it again.

I was actually pleasantly surprised. After ordering I looked at the reviews and they were not great. The portion I got is definitely more than I think others may have gotten. The flavor was so good. I had side samosas which were so flavorful with the sauces. I finished with a masala chai and the masala chai cookies. That was the best ending. Would definitely order again. Thank you :)

The Chicken Tikka Masala was entirely misrepresented in the picture. I received chicken and diced cucumbers over rice, coated in a watery sauce with some tomato mush stirred in. Oily water pooled at the bottom of the bowl underneath the rice, making everything wet and bland. Perhaps my order was wrong, but I've ordered the Tikka Chance on Me bowl before and this was neither that bowl nor anything approaching Masala. This was the kind of meal that made me go, "oh, that's not right" the moment I opened it up.
My partner said it felt like one of those frozen meals from the grocery store. I also ordered Naan, which was fine but very overpriced for the amount we received - each order gives you one round piece - around 6" in diameter - also similar to something I'd pick up at the non-Indian grocery store. Finally, I ordered a side of sauteed spinach, and I got about a cup of spinach for over $6. It's wild how cheap the entrees are and how much they over charge you for the sides.
RASA is pretty cheap for Indian Food and I'd say it's the fast casual of Indian Food. I'd also like to say that you get what you pay for, but I didn't get what I paid for - neither in terms of quality or quantity.

I ordered Spicy Chili Chicken Bowl. Both Quality and Quantity are very bad. I don't recommend this place.
