Who we are We are the Khaitan family. Originally from Rajasthan, and based in UP before we shifted bag and baggage to Goa in 1998. We love Goa and Goans. In return for everything that Goa has given us, we decided to bring our unique offerings to the table – authentic North Indian food and sweets. The Rasoda (literally, the kitchen, in Marwadi) was conceptualised in September of 2018. It became a family enterprise. Neha developed the recipes and trained the chefs, while Yash took on management and marketing. Kush did the interiors. Mrs Sapna Khaitan shared her home recipes and trained the chefs as well. The vision was formulated under the guidance of Sh. Deepak Khaitan. And so we launched The Rasoda on the 18th of October, 2018, on the birthday of Late Smt. Swaran Khaitan (Yash and Kush’s grandmother). What is The Rasoda The Rasoda is an attempt to bring traditional North Indian food and sweets to Goa. Authentic. Vegetarian. Specializing in Rajasthani and UP fare. We are setting up mithai shops, restaurants and catering services across Goa. We love the multi-cultural aspect of Goa. Goa has welcomed people from all over the world, and each has brought with them a bit of their own culture to this beautiful melting pot. As Rajasthanis, who have lived all our lives in UP, this is our unique offering to the land that has adopted us. What makes The Rasoda special? When we say authentic, we don’t just mean the recipes. Genuine ingredients are as important. • All our items are prepared in Desi Ghee. • The spices are procured from their place of origin. All spice mixes are freshly ground by us. • No preservatives. No colours. • We use less sugar, so you taste the ingredients and not a sugar overload. • We prepare our own Paneer, Mawa and Khoya in-house. • We prepare our own flour so that there is no possibility of adulteration. • We like to promote healthier grains like jowar, nachni, bajra, makka. • Use of traditional for cooking methods. You wish to travel to Rajasthan or UP, these beautiful states to experience their culture, we encourage you. But to try their (vegetarian) food, no need to leave Goa. Just come to us! We’ll greet you with a Namaste (no English greetings in The Rasoda) and serve you food, you will find hard to forget because it will be like your ‘ghar ka khana\'. Not to mention the royal “Atithi Devo Bhava” treatment! Remember, we cater to parties big and small. We can come over with our complete set-up.
