I travel to DC for work once or twice a year, and I always make a trip to Rasika. The restaurant environment is lovely--sophisticated, not "typical" Indian restaurant decor. The menu has so much amazing variety. I typically sit in the bar area if I'm...More

I've been meaning to try this restaurant for some time as its reputation of the capital's premier curry house was too enticing, The venue has a very nice vibe and is, as to expected, extremely busy -- in fact, we could only get seating in...More

We are semi regulars at both Rasika and their equally excellent Rasika West End. This time we were a party of six, including three family members who were new to the restaurant. As we always do, we ordered a zillion dishes of all sorts and,...More

This upscale restaurant serves some of the very finest Indian cuisine this diner has ever had the pleasure to consume. Truly a life changing culinary experiance - Rasika delivers on every front.
