About Rasoi Waterfront
On J Shed on the Swansea Waterfront, Rasoi Waterfront is a modern Indian restaurant serving lunch, evening and special event menus. The kitchen leans on fusion plates, with the Lucknow chicken biryani a regularly recommended order. A bar programme runs alongside, including a brûlée cocktail and other themed drinks tied to occasions such as Valentine's Day. For those wanting something lighter, the restaurant also serves an Indian twist on afternoon tea. The team notes special occasions when asked, and has marked anniversaries and graduations with small gestures like prosecco or a card. Tables can be booked in advance to guarantee a spot at lunch, evening or event sittings.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly single out the Lucknow chicken biryani and the biryani generally, with one diner calling it the best they've had, as the standout alongside dishes like the prawns, lamb bao, and Muscat Gosht. The gulab jamun with saffron and cardamom syrup draws specific praise for dessert, and themed cocktails, including a brûlée cocktail, come up often for special occasions like Valentine's and anniversaries, with staff bringing out prosecco and a card for one couple celebrating. Several note the lunch menu is reasonably priced even as full dinners with drinks run higher on occasions like Christmas. Service is repeatedly described as attentive and welcoming, with staff checking if diners are celebrating anything. A few mention booking ahead to guarantee a table. One review flags the wine list as worth checking carefully before ordering. Multiple reviewers reference returning for a second or further visit, and one closes on being invited back after a daughter's graduation was treated as a special occasion by staff.

“The food is very decent, the service is good and friendly, and the atmosphere is nice for a night out. We went after a couple of drinks in the marina and we had a nice dinner there. It’s better than your average curry house both in terms of food and ambience but the price remains very reasonable.”

“Great service from the first greeting to the last goodbye. Food was utterly amazing. I had Lamb Bao to start, and Muscat Gosht for my entree, which did not disappoint. Great flavours, vibe and location.”

“An excellent restaurant with a subtly different approach to Indian cuisine. I thoroughly recommend a visit to this place. The food was exceptional, the drink options are varied, check the wines available a little carefully. Service was very friendly and timely. Toilets, although small, were very clean and welcoming.”
