Had been here with friends. Please read every possible review and then visit this place. It is very expensive and the food is not worth it. People enjoy hookah here (that’s it) and I don’t have much idea about how that is. Coffee is expensive more than Starbucks and I am not sure if it’s even that good. Ambience is good. Not a good place for family gatherings. Not worth the money.

Great discovery in Bangalore. Very different and serving a wide range on their menu - including decent coffee brew!The setting was great and some wall art that was very nice. They have a snooker table in the middle of the dining hall, we didn’t use, so no idea of there is a charge.Food itself were good and arrived fairly quickly.Staff were helpful and efficient.Location is just off the main Mysore road and set on a big grounds. Parking on site.Lovely little garden in front of the cafe for some pics!Overall a great experience! Will recommend.

One of the best places to chill and have a good time with your family or friends. Food is good, beverages is great and customer is decent (can be improvised). Hookah is also available, which is pretty good with the combo offers. Price is pretty fine, ambiance is great and a place to visit anytime or during night outs. Spacious parking available.

Very nice ambience, great for a relaxed evening. Food was average and over priced for the taste.

Ive never been this disappointed with a church street cafe before. Slow service. Rude waiter and pathetic food. Nothing tasted good. It was all bland. Worst nachos Ive ever had in my life. Pesto pasta had nothing but just cheese. Complete waste of money.

So I chose to drink here, expecting it to be a part of the Bombay/Delhi chain of bars/restaurants by the same name. This innocently labeled lives right at the beginning of church with a tiny entrance that opens out into truly something eyewateringly magnificent. While not the cheapest place on the world the ambience more than makes up for it.Dont expect beer or tap, but smoking balcony and two levels, great decor and a friendly staff. I wish the cocktails were better my long Island ice teas were kinda weak, and the martinis I ordered after were an effront to decency. Still I would rate this place quite highly simply for how nice the ambience is.Dont expect cheap drinks, great cocktails or exceptional food.

The crispy chicken burger was tasty and of perfect size. Also, I loved the Irish coffee. The place has good ambience. Nice place to hang out, both alone or in group..

Great ambience. We got the outdoor seating. Its really calm with some low-key background music. Very peaceful place to chill. The hookah was nice. There are great combos available. The food was yumm. The beverages were also good. Overall a good place to chill. Situated in the heart of church Street.

They kind of have a split. Smoking zone and the non smoking zone. We went into the non smoking zone. We dont get hookahs served in the non smoking zone.This is more like a cafe with a very warm ambiance. Good for families and couples.We ordered a coffee and a pasta.Felt the price was a little expensive however the quality was good.

This plase has good crowd on weekdays. During weekends this place will be too crowded and we have to wait to get a table. They serve both veg and non-veg food. Food is not that great. Cocktails are must to try. Ambience is good.

This place used to be good. The food was super bad. All the dishes were under salted or not salted at all. The meat was under cooked and raw. There was this pungent smell on the garlic bread which made me puke. The service was also poor.

Good place to have good long conversations with your partner because, your order will take time. The place should be visited for the ambience alone. Also one of the quiet places in church street. The food is good, but portions for pasta couldve been better. I really liked the pasta sauce. The salads are surprisingly good. In fact the place has good appetizers

I had expected lot but disappointed as they dont treat CX will we have to wait for long to order or to get order, before you order please ask how they present it as their presentation of food is very very bad its like we have to go and we have to garnish and make our own food their service is too slow they dont care you if you sitting outside. Drink was ok at least it made my mood little better otherwise it was horrible experience pathetic service I had heard its name so i went but it was really bad experience its like naam bade darshan khote.

Good Place to chill in peace with Tree ViewWould suggest to keep Smart Boys for ServiceTried Their Chicken Ghee Roast & Chicken TenderChicken Ghee Roast was burnt and tasted bad.About the chicken tender it was bitter in tasteI was somehow trying to finish itSheesha was good and their combo offer 1 sheesha+2 Mocktails+Starter seemd good and worthy !Must say the service guys need to guide the clients to order ,they just keep shut and dont even say about what they offer or any specials they haveService Matters when we visit a good resto bar like Rasta !

Review №37

There is one particular staff member down who put me off. They need to upgrade to KYC ( know your customer). They cant keep asking for phone numbers every time. There is one lady staff who was not up to the mark. They should not be telling people that they get a lot of customers so they cant recognize me. If thats the case I wont come and customers wont come.

This is a new cafe in Church Street. We went there for dinner on a weekday.Pork ribs, a breakfast and orange juice were all we could have that day. It was plentiful for 3 people (of course, we were not very hungry). As a promise of Rasta Cafe, the food is prepared fresh. It took almost 25 minutes for the food to arrive. I dont know how fast they are on weekends, when there would be a good crowd. They didnt have steak knives, which then did tire us out while cutting the pork ribs. Food wise: the greens, the meat, the other veggies were very well cooked.The decor of the cafe was pleasing to the eye alongwith the serene lighting.We would like to come back and see if Rasta Cafe can better this experience.

Met up two of my my colleagues. Ordered a wood fired veg pizza 12 inches and downed it with a glass of beer. It was not very crowded when we started our meeting. Slowly people trickled in. The pizza was wood fired and tasted good. I too was all fired up and had a good meeting.

This is one of the biggest cafe in Church streetI visited on a weekday , as a result it was less crowded.Ground floor is not really good , it becomes very difficult to breatheThe setup is good but not well maintainedMusic played is very awful and they dont change even on requestI went upstairs in the First floor which is way better and open area but no mosquito control hereI ordered a Rasta Pizza and garlic bread with some whiskyFood is very good , big in size, sufficient for 2 peopleRest the staff is goodLot needs to be improved

The Famous and highway Frenzy Rasta cafe, spread its wings within the city... snow open in MSR layout and Church street makes it easy to access and stay away from the highway......As the name speaks Rasta Cafe is a fusion of continental food with an indian twist..... The food here is kinda different and quite a few new offerings like a full course Meal menu and wood fire pizza, waffles and many more to choose from. Its a good place to hang out with friends and family.

Finally Rasta is in the heart of the city - Church Street. They have just opened their new branch here and the place looks awesome. It does not have all the walls painted like the original Rasta Cafe. But the lighting and seating arrangements are really good. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We decided to sit outdoors, theres no view as such but the place is peaceful with good music. The staff is really courteous, he always had smile on his face and greeted us really well. He helped us in choosing the dish from the menu and served them well. We ordered veg nachos (macho nacho), one of the best nachos I have had. Good balance of toppings and it was presented well. The chicken starter was good too, though less in quantity. We had sneaker shake and that was too good both in quantity and taste.Thanks Rasta!! Will visit soon after your opening and hopefully you will have hookah by then.

Review №58

WORST SERVICE EVER !!!!!! I seriously would not recommend to anyone, one of the worst services in the city, waiters doesnt know how to behave, very rude, unmannered and I can just go on... very much disappointed with the waiters behavior. This was my first visit to Rasta and had the worst experience ever. You people must know there r many other options in same lane and yes indeed I found a better place than Rasta.. may be its coz of one employee every person working there represents ur cafe you r in a hospitality business need to know how to behave ad have some basic ethics.

This place is just a month old on Church Street. So much so that they’re yet to even have an official launch.Having been to other Rasta outlets in Delhi, I can definitely draw a comparison and tell you that these guys have done a good job.The space they’ve got is huge and the place is spread across two floors. They have a nice outside terrace seating space as well wherein you can enjoy your food and drinks in the lovely Bangalore breeze.Pricing is ok ok.. we called for three starters and 4 drinks and paid approx 2000 Rs which honestly is not bad.We called for the Spicy Chorizo Pizza (according to me it was ok, nothing too awesome), the Greek salad (good), the spicy cheesy fries (V good). Two rounds of beer and 1 x Absolute and 1 x 100 Pipers.Can’t wait for the place to be fully functional Coz I know it’ll be one happening joint!

Located on Church Street the place serves drinks , sheesha and food. The dining area is separated from smoking and drinks place which is good if one wants to visit with kids. The menu has wide variety and is surprisingly not very expensive given its location on church street. The interiors is well done but the place was empty. Not sure if that was because it was a weekday when we visited or due to covid situation.

I’m pretty sure most of us Bangaloreans have taken a late night drive to Rasta Cafe Mysore Road since it opens through out the night, well guess what!! now Rasta Cafe is in the city itself and right at the heart of the city & you definitely have to visit this place.As I entered the narrow pathway which have an art element on the walls, the place opens up to a beautiful ambiance with high ceiling and a bar, I took the stairs to check what’s upstairs and to my surprise there was another bar and a seating area upstairs with sofas and also high chairs options. I love the outdoor seating cause it opens up to a beautiful background with trees and greens with fresh air and who would have thought that such places existed in Church street!The staff and managers are very courteous and friendly.Well, if you are a vegetarian or non vegetarian they catered to both. For starters I love their platter which consists Coorgi pork bites, zaatoni chicken tikka, chorizo, prawns and Guacamole on toast, in the vegetarian platter I like the beet, orange & feta in toast, charred pepper, mushroom on toast.Main course, the slow cooked BBQ pork ribs-sauté vegetable, mash potato is the bomb and taste deliciously good, if you eat pork you should definitely definitely try this here.The Red wine braised lamb shank-couscous, glaze carrot, confit potato was scrumptious too.Desserts: The chilled kulfi cake, Rabdi, blueberry & rose petal is amazing and the Japanese cheese cake is good but not great.Overall it was a lovely time and would come back real soon!

Hukkah here only look good and they dont know how to make it.Service here is no service. After asking 3-4 time they service.Food ke ko kya kehne. They dont have better chefs. Pasta lacked gravy and was too stiff. Pizza appearance itself was too bad that u dont feel like eating.Extremely bad eve since i spent here. Waste of 2k.I strongly disliked this place.Not at all recommended.And 1 paid 100 rs as service charge too for this service 😂😂😂😂😂

Review №77

Liked the place but there was hardly any one to take the order. We ordered loaded fries but it was soggy and sent back, they replaced it after a long wait but with not much difference. Also the drink we ordered was not available and had to settle to the one the waiter suggested as the staff was busy getting ready for the evening. Finally when the drink arrived it was way to sweet - guess it was someones first day at the bar. Did not like the attitude of the staff. We had to literally beg for fork. This is not the expectation from a place like Rasta.

Went to attend a show. Had to take a mandatory food/beverage pass for the show. Went to order food, restaurant asked to have a self service for all the people who attended the show. In the bill added service service charge when we had to have self service. Employee gave lame excuses for the service charges. Food was horrible not cooked correctly, service was terrible. Will never recommend the restaurant.

Such a nice place to relax and have a good chat with you friends. Loved their waffles. Service could be little better , but the ambience of the place is modern, comfortable and food is good too. They have a separate seating arrangements for hookah, cafe and bar, you can choose your spot according to your mood and company, that was really thoughtful.

I took the dance floor for my visit.The music was great, thanks to the DJ he did a great job on the console 📀🎶, he got the crowd grooving.The bartenders were attentive and provided quick service. I dont drink now, but my friend said the drinks are good and it got him tipsy. Food seems to be Ok. Pub remained open till 1am, but the kitchen closed by 11pm, that was a bummer.It was a decent crowd for a saturday night. Due to covid the place could appear less crowded during weekdays.
