Finally: An Authentic South Indian Restaurant in Sierra del Oro

If you live in Sierra del Oro, you know the struggle. For years, finding high-quality, authentic Asian cuisine meant driving deep into Corona or trekking over to Orange County. 

That changes today. 

We are proud to officially announce that Rasam Indian Restaurant is open at 2721 Green River Rd. We are the first dedicated South Indian restaurant in Sierra del Oro, bringing the vibrant, coastal flavors of Kerala right to your doorstep. 

But before you order, you should know that this isn’t your average curry house. Here is why Rasam is different. 

 

1. Beyond Butter Chicken: The South Indian Difference

Most Indian restaurants in the Inland Empire focus on North Indian cuisine—heavy creams, mild spices, and naan bread. While we serve those classics (and they are delicious), Rasam specializes in the South Indian and Kerala traditions. 

If you haven’t tried it, you are in for a surprise. Our cuisine is defined by: 

• Coconut & Tamarind: Instead of heavy cream, we use coconut milk and tamarind for lighter, zestier sauces. 

• Rice Specialties: From Masala Dosa (crispy crepes) to Appam (fermented rice pancakes), our breads are gluten-friendly and perfect for soaking up curry. 

• Kerala Seafood: We are one of the few places in the area serving Fish Moilee—delicate fillets simmered in a coconut milk gravy with ginger and green chilies. 

2. The Commuter’s Best Friend (Hwy 91)

We know that living in Sierra del Oro means dealing with the Highway 91 commute. Rasam is located literally seconds from the Green River Road off-ramp. We are the last stop before the traffic hits. 

• Skip the Gridlock: Don’t sit in traffic hungry. Order online before you exit. 

• Priority Pickup: By the time you pull into our lot, your hot dinner is ready for curbside pickup. 

• Golfers: We are just 4 minutes from the Green River Golf Club, making us the perfect “19th Hole” for a flavorful dinner after 18 holes. 

3. Halal Options & Fresh Ingredients

We believe that great food brings the community together. To ensure everyone in Corona can enjoy our food, our kitchen maintains strict standards to accommodate diverse dietary needs. 

• Halal Options: We are proud to serve Halal meat options for our chicken, lamb, and goat entrees. 

• Vegan: Because we use coconut milk instead of dairy for many dishes, we have a massive selection of naturally vegan options like Paal Kappa (mashed tapioca) and Vegetable Stew. 

Come Support Your New Neighbors 

We are locally owned and excited to be part of the Sierra del Oro community. Whether you want a sit-down family dinner or a quick takeout meal on your way home, we invite you to taste the difference. 

We are open Tuesday – Sunday. Stop by and try something new.
