" Had the opportunity to visit Rasika after hearing the buzz on social media and I was not disappointed! The ambiance is fantastic, perfect for date night. I had the shrimp mango curry and went back and forth on whether I'll recommend it. While it was indeed tasty, it lacked the kick I expected. The flavors were more refined, and I mildly missed that bold Indian taste I love. Overall, I’d say it was still a positive experience due to the lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. " (*Curated Review*)

" Rasika was recommended to me by a colleague, and it was overall a wonderful experience. The decor was beautiful and set the mood for an enjoyable dinner. The palak chaat was phenomenal, and I would order a second plate if I could! The main course, however, left something to be desired; while flavorful, it didn't excite me as much. Our server was friendly but not attentive enough, and we occasionally had to wave down assistance. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was a fantastic find during our trip to DC! Rasika was cozy and buzzing – I heard nothing but praise as soon as we entered. Our server was attentive and helped guide us through the menu. The palak chaat was such a treat, enjoyed every crunchy bite! For the main, I opted for the lamb chop which was cooked perfectly, juicy, and flavorful! Overall, a bit on the pricier side but completely worth it for the quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolutely wonderful dining experience! We started with the palak chaat, and I can see why everyone raves about it. The duck makhani was heavenly! One of my friends ordered the biryani and thoroughly enjoyed it too. The service was friendly, although at times felt a bit stretched due to the crowd. That being said, we were all very satisfied with our meals and will be back to try other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh boy, where do I start? We went for a birthday celebration, and the experience was just incredible from start to finish. The waiter was attentive without being intrusive and made excellent recommendations. We tried the tasting menu and each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavors. The palak chaat was euphoric! That crunchy texture along with the tangy yogurt is a must-try. The service was a little slow towards the end, and we waited quite a while for dessert, but the chocolate samosas made up for it. This place is a gem for Indian food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Rasika as part of a group of friends, and we had a great time overall. The palak chaat was highly recommended and didn’t disappoint! My main dish, the lamb curry, had the right amount of spices, but I found the portion to be relatively on the smaller side for the price. The ambiance was chic, but unfortunately, the service could use some improvement – we felt somewhat ignored at times. Nonetheless, the great food kept our spirits high! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch at Rasika last weekend, and while it was a nice experience overall, it didn’t completely wow me. The place is stylish, and the staff were friendly and quick. I ordered the chicken tikka, and it was decent, though I’ve had better in other places. The side dishes were nice – especially the garlic naan! Worth a stop if in the area, but I wouldn’t go out of my way. " (*Curated Review*)
