Rasika

We tried the set menu and so worth it. The food is great, and the chefs present Indian food with a modern take but still keep the amazing authentic flavors in the dishes. But the service is hands down the best in town. The staff are very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming, especially Gustavo who we had a pleasure to met with during our first dinner experience in Rasika a couple of days ago. It’s always a bit competitive to get a table there but a must go to restaurant in DC, especially if you love food with a lot of flavors.

LOVE this place! The food is great, the staff is great, ambiance is great. The dishes are a modern twist in terms of flavors, textures and appearance. Yet still heavily connected to the inspiration, so you will know what you are eating. Our favorite was the palak (spinach) dish. Could not take a photo as we were hungry and just dug into the food. The Naan (bread) was like a buttery cloud you would want to sleep on. If you dine-in, you can get multiple small portions of the entree to try out different menu options, which is what we did. We loved the food so much that we ate here 4 times out of our 3 day stay in the area!

Came here to celebrate with a Sunday lunch. We got one veggie and one non-veggie tasting menu so we could try all the options and share. Our server described the courses with enthusiasm and made us felt cared for. We left very happy and full - and even forgot to take pictures of some of the courses because we just devoured them. Highlights were the crispy spinach, sweet potato samosa, blackened cod, mango-shrimp, and the platter sampler that had so many good options I can't remember them all. We're looking forward to coming back! Vegetarian options: The tasting menu has a vegetarian option and the regular menu has many vegetarian options as you would expect from Indian food. Dietary restrictions: Our server asked us very early on if there were any allergy concerns - it seemed the restaurant really cared about it.
