We had a great time dining at Rasā, provided with great service. Highlights for us were the cauliflower and chicken satay! I normally don’t even like eating cauliflower omg. Basque cheesecake was also refreshing. Thank you.

Bold, punchy South-East Asian flavours, beautiful plating, and a lively room that actually feels fun in Double Bay. Most dishes hit hard, service is warm, and the cocktails are excellent. A couple of plates lean a touch salty and portions are modest, but overall it’s easily one of the best new spots in the east. Happily going back. More

We were early for our 7pm booking and this wasn't a problem for the maître d’. The food was delicious and service was attentive. They didn't have the wine that I wanted but the Sommelier suggested another bottle that was fantastic. All round great evening and we will be back to try the rest of the menu. More
