Wonderful inventive spins on classic Indian dishes. I had an amazing fish with cheddar! Who would think to add cheddar to fish at an Indian restaurant? The result was so wonderful!
This is clearly a very popular restaurant in DC for Indian food. We showed up without reservations a Saturday evening and were able to get a table after a pleasant half hour wait at the bar during which we enjoyed a cocktail. The food is well prepared and presented and the service attentive.
Atmosphere is great, but not true Indian food – Reading the other reviews, it sounds like people really enjoy Rasika. Did I miss something? Did I not order the right dishes? Perhaps it's my midwestern style that clouded the true wonderment of Rasika. For some reason, I was really not enthused by this Indian Restaurant. Granted, the wine list is huge, the place is nicely furnished, and the service was just fine, but the food was not up to parr at all. I've been to Indian restaurants all over the country, from Boston to San Fr... read more
Citysearch Editorial Review – One of the most popular restaurants in Washington, this upscale Indian spot in D.C.'s Penn Quarter serves up authentic, flavorful fare--"rasika" translates to "flavors" in Sanskrit--in a lively open kitchen. The dishes may be traditional, but the décor is all modern: A dramatic crystal bead curtain separates the dining room from the bar, and square white plates and angular stemware feel chic and updated against white tablecloths. Regulars swear by Rasika's signature dishes; the palak chaat is cr... read more
what a meal – Fantastic food and attentive service. Don't miss the palak chaat (crispy spinach) appetizer. I had to change a reservation two days beforehand, and they were polite and very accommodating about it. Even though this is a more upscale place, our dinner party with a baby was welcomed warmly (note: no booster seats available, but you can bring your own). I'd recommend coming with a larger group simply for the excuse to order several dishes.
Fun spot to dine – Wow! Fantastic, sublime, delicate food with attentive yet appropriate service even in the bar. Another lovely meal that we could enjoy with our teenagers that they then raved about. You'll see this is not an unusual review for Rasika so if you want to "just drop in" like we did, be there just before 5pm and if no dinning slots are available, ask to be seated at the bar tables. ambiance, staff and experience are all excellent.
