The photographer who took pics of me when I was first launching this blog cited this Pawtucket restaurant as a go-to, confiding that she’d actually discovered it after being unable to get seated at the neighboring Garden Grille again and again. (Hey, we’ve all been there…)

For those in the know, I am indeed talking about Rasoi on East Avenue, just over the Providence line.

The person who really illuminated the menu and dining experience there for me, though, was my niece B.: I mean, she’s the one who introduced me to their five star appetizer, their Cauliflower 65, a sweet and spicy fried cauli that folks go absolutely wild for.

PS And BTW, so many choices for vegetarians and vegans, so don’t despair if you can’t get a table at GG…although Rasoi is quite busy nowadays and there’s no guarantee you can just waltz in any ole time and get a table but I highly recommend trying.

The hubs and I went back and I’m here to tell you that the service and that app are as amazing as ever — and the interior looks absolutely fab!

Now we’d already made stops at several other eateries in the vicinity that afternoon, so we only opted for a few small plates, but a return trip to dip into a table full of meat free dishes is most definitely in order.

Regulars adore their weekend brunch, creative cocktails, seafood entrees, naan, saag paneer, mango curry, and samosas.

Find Rasoi at 727 East Avenue in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
