“Rasna – Steam Hot”

Rasna – Steam Hot – as the name suggests tangy and tasty, is a small joint in Mulund. It’s a small dingy place with a menu of amazing rolls, sandwiches, toasts, toasts with melted cheese, special Steam Hot snacks, diet special snacks, paninis and many other items from the bread basket, ice-creams, fresh fruit juices, milkshakes, kulfis, fresh fruit creams, sodas, mocktails, etc.

Sandwiches are a specialty here made of fresh vegetables and tasty green chutney. They are served in white breads as well as in Whole Wheat Breads here. The sandwiches are grilled and crispy and amazing. The rolls which are served here are steamy, hot and buttery with the perfect taste of the toppings. There are masala rolls and paneer rolls, fresh garlic rolls, etc. The Pizzas are not very delicious here. We prefer our pizzas at better joints!! Don’t we???

To add to the sandwiches they have toast specials where you can add your own toppings the way you like. The toasts with melted cheese served here are mouth watering. You can order these and be rest assured you’ve done justice to your bread & cheese craving. The melted cheese takes you to an entire new level altogether. They are delicious and you can have various toppings added to them as per your choice and make your own toast. They already serve various combos of toasts where you get 4 different toasts in a single dish or 5 different varieties of toasts in a single serve. I know the cheese and bread definitely add onto your calorie count per meal, but it’s not just limited to that. They do serve all toasts with a salad of cabbage, cucumbers, carrots and tomatoes mandatorily, no matter which dish do you call for!! So you can satiate your hunger pangs with the right balance of food.

Rasna serves delicious Garlic Special Steam Hot Snacks which is more or less like the Garlic bread but better. It has melted cheese as a topping and the bread and cheese just melt in your mouth. This is the specialty here and is one of my favorites.

For the diet conscious crowd, they serve all these dishes made in whole Wheat Bread and also an entire section of the menu for the people dieting. Haven’t tried and tested anything on this front, so sorry!! Can’t comment on how it tastes!!

The juices and milkshakes available here are also awesome and delicious. The fresh fruit juices are seasonal and many combinations vary as well. These combos are blended well with the most perfect taste you’re expecting and looking for. They also serve fruit milkshakes which are yummy and very filling too. Just two items ordered here and you’re through with your lunch/dinner.

Ice-creams and milkshakes are also blended well in a very appealing way. My favorite drink/dessert here would be the Masala Milk with ice-cream. The Masala Milk is flavored with kesar and seasoned with Almonds, Pistachio and Cashews. Its taste is just about right. The Strawberry cream is lovely too when served with ice-cream.  One of the other desserts which I like here is the Chocolate fudge with Roasted Nuts. This is served with 3 scoops of vanilla ice-cream with lots of chocolate sauce (made fresh) and lots of chipped almonds on top. The photo on the right is this dessert. (I know one can make it at home as well, but this is one thing which I love having here!!)

Do visit this place. It’s something different from the usual joints we go to, and am sure you won’t be disappointed. It’s a lil expensive if you’re going for some snacks, but a quick lunch or dinner would be fun here. The staff here is friendly and will definitely cater to your appetite.
