Rasika Washington Reviews from The Last Year
Rasika is to die for! Everything i've ever had here is
Rasika is to die for! Everything i've ever had here is incredible and totally worth it. I absolutely recommend coming here if you want a wonderful meal.
I had the pleasure of dining at Rasika on Thursday, April
I had the pleasure of dining at Rasika on Thursday, April 11th for dinner around 7:30 pm. My birthday was 1 night before & so my husband decided to celebrate. As we got there, we were seated at a small 2 person table even though there were other 2-person diners seated at a bigger table. Nevertheless, it didn't bother me that much. I looked around & did notice a celebrity dining right next us, which was SO cool. He was in modern family :) I didn't go up to him, but just being in their presence was an experience within itself. To start off, we ordered the Nectar of Soma - gin based, which was so good but so strong! My husband ordered a beer. We also started off with the palak chaat (ended up getting 2), and it was SOO delicious. I'm still dreaming about this! My husband also ordered a lamb dish which he liked but it was too filling and he couldn't finish it (also, I'm vegetarian so couldn't help him). For dinner, we ordered the tandoori salmon, which my husband loved & paneer mirch ka salan, which I did not like at all. The paneer was good but didn't like whatever the gravy was. I know now in the future to fill up on the appetizers, as there were more I wanted to try. All in all, a great dinner and I would come back!
We loved the food here! As Indians that live in Denver
We loved the food here! As Indians that live in Denver where there is no good Indian food, we knew we had to try Rasika when visiting DC based on reviews/friends' recommendations. It did NOT disappoint! We ordered the palak chaat, chicken tikka masala, bhindi, dal makhani, raita, garlic naan and laccha paratha. Everything was very tasty, and we LOVED that you can order half portions (and it was still plenty for 2 people). The star of the meal was the palak chaat. Very unique and light as air. Highly recommend. Service was incredible, and the ambiance was lovely.
This one will go on the regular rotation when we visit DC.
One of the most flavorful and delicious meals we’ve had from start to finish in a long time and I’d consider us “foodies”. If you can request Esteban just let him hand select your menu, sit back and prepare to be wowed. 10/10. Flavors were magnificent.
A group of us had a reservation for April of 2020 when we
A group of us had a reservation for April of 2020 when we were going to be in town for a meeting....and, well...we actually got to eat here in April of 2024! A colleague texted me to see if I was watching "Somebody Feed Phil" on Netflix and his visit to Rasika reminded us we needed to make a reservation for dinner during our upcoming meeting. I would definitely recommend making a reservation; on a Tuesday night around 6PM they were already full and so we were very glad we had a reservation. We went with the 4 course tasting menu since everything sounded good and we couldn't narrow down options on our own. There were really 5 courses if you count the amuse bouche, and everything was delicious. The amuse bouche included a sweet potato samosa and lentil bite; both were excellent. The next courses included the palak chaat, which lived up to the high expectations we had based on all the rave reviews of this dish. The flavors and textures really made this a dish you'll keep thinking about for awhile because it is so good. The next course of scallops was also delicious. The sauce did not overpower the scallops and the crispy rice noodles added a nice texture element. The main course included 4 dishes. While all were delicious, the dal was the surprise standout here; my friend described it as "life changing" and requested a dispenser of this be installed in her house. The chicken tikka masala was excellent as well and we enjoyed the cauliflower and lamb dishes too. The naan was fresh and perfect. We didn't do the wine pairings, and just went with single beverages; there is a really nice selection of wine by the glass and good non-alcoholic selections as well. Dessert included a sampling of cardamom ice cream, fried apple, and gulab jamun. All were good, but the cardamom ice cream was the standout. Service was excellent and our server knew the menu and all the dishes well. Courses were nicely paced so we weren't rushed. The ambiance is classy; we were glad we didn't come in dressed too casually, but were fine in business casual attire. Noise level is a little high when the restaurant is full, but similar to everywhere in DC. Prices are similar to other nice restaurants in DC, so we considered cost reasonable given quality and geographic location. We will definitely be back to try more things and to get the dal and palak chaat again.
Poppadom
I’m glad I came here, I really am. The poppadom was insane. I come from the UK where poppadom is mostly done right and can be so good it’s addictive but this was completely different. The best poppadom I’ve ever had, especially the ones shaped like tennis rackets, they were melt in your mouth good. The chicken tikka and mint sauce, however, was nothing to write home about and our server was annoying and quite forceful with his suggestions.
My family and I did a walk in, so we got seated at the bar
My family and I did a walk in, so we got seated at the bar instead of a table (so be sure to make reservations in advance)! We ordered the Samosa Chaat and Purple Potato Dosa, which were both very tasty and well presented. We also ordered Garlic Naan, Paneer Makhani and Makhana Kaju Kofta. The Kaju Kofta had too much Cardamom flavor for my liking. The paneer makhani could also have used some more spice. But, again, presentation was great. We also tried the mango mocktail and it was delicious! The dessert was also very tasty, it included some of the best chocolate mint ice cream I've had. Our server was also very nice and the food came out fairly quickly.
Modern swanky almost lounge atmosphere.
Excellent transitional Indian food. Fish was excellent but ordering multiple appetizers is recommended. Especially the spinach. Docking a star because if it's busy they don't seem well organized. Try to go on a weekday when there's not much going on downtown.
Excellent Indian restaurant in DC with an upscale ambiance.
My friend and I came on a packed weeknight and managed to get a couple seats at the bar. Tried the palak chaat (crispy spinach, highly recommended), Kolkata lamb roll, crab pepper masala, red snapper polichattu, and lamb roganjosh. All featured a great mixture of memorable flavors. The Mumbai Manhattan is also delicious. Service was friendly and attentive - I recommend it for anyone in the area.
For the price, food was not best Indian food.
Only the appetizers were enjoyed by our party.
2nd best upscale Indian food I have had in the US!!! It
2nd best upscale Indian food I have had in the US!!! It makes sense why this place is packed to the brim. We went in on a Saturday without a reservation. I really recommend a reservation. We were lucky enough to get seats at the bar. Usually the service at a bar is iffy, but this time the service was phenomenal! Hats off to Shiva, who was seriously such a crucial part of why this was such an epic experience. He made excellent recommendations and also gave us a taste of an amazing cocktail, the Kamini (order if you are intrigued by spiced gin!) We had the tasting menu which was SOOOOO good and perfect for sharing between two people (which they will let you do as long as you order one more thing... I recommend getting an extra order of the palak chaat). My favorites of the night: - the star of the show is the palak chaat! - loved the chili fish! Beautifully cooked and the sauce is nuanced! - dal is usually dal but OMG the Dal Dungharee is TO DIE FOR! The rest of the tasting menu was also very well prepared. Meat quality is high. I also enjoyed their IPA and their Eggenberg Pilsner!
I went to this restaurant in the DMV area on my friend's
I went to this restaurant in the DMV area on my friend's recommendation.One cool thing is it's one of Obama's fave spots! The vibe was awesome, and our server was super helpful. We tried a bunch of appetizers like avocado banana chat, purple potato dosa, sev batata puri, spicy reshmi kabab, and palak chat. Sev batata puri was a hit, we got seconds! Purple potato dosa was interesting and good. I would not recommend Avocado banana chat, I did not like the taste of it. For mains, we had dal makhani, achari baingan, and butternut squash bharta. The Dal Makhani emerged as a clear favorite, delighting us with its rich and comforting flavors. A standout feature is the option to order mains as side dishes, allowing us to explore a variety of flavors without committing to full portions at half a price. We had some bread too--mint parantha, butter nan, and garlic nan. All fresh, but the mint parantha was a standout. And we tried their P&T punch, a spirit-free drink, which was fantastic. Overall, I definitely recommend this place!!!!
Do not go here, worst drinks ever worst food and they don't
Do not go here, worst drinks ever worst food and they don't allow kids indoors. I mean really in this cold weather like how a family can sit outside -1 degree Celsius! Reallllllyyyyyy!!! Worst place ever!!! Upon that they charged for parking $15 like we parked for literally for 20 Mins, I mean this place is just ripping off money! Do not recommend this place.
We saw Rasika on the show Somebody Feed Phil so I put it on
We saw Rasika on the show Somebody Feed Phil so I put it on our list of places to try when visiting DC. I eat vegan and my husband vegetarian and there are plenty of options on the menu. The restaurant is an easy walk from the National Mall, we ended up eating here twice in five days- it's that good! Our first time we came for lunch and the second time we arrived around 5pm for an early dinner. Both visits we got seated immediately. Very elegant dining room, dimly lit with white linen service. Knowledgeable attentive wait staff. We liked that there are many small plate options perfect for sharing and entrees can be ordered in appetizer and full portions. The Palak Chaat was tasty, crispy baby spinach with a yogurt tamarind dressing and date chutney. Beside this dish on our two visits we tried - Ragda Pattice- spiced potatoes with chickpeas and tamarind date mint chutney Avocado Banana Chaat with date and tamarind chutney Tawa Balingen- eggplant medallions with sliced potatoes and peanut sauce Purple Potato Dosa Butternut Squash Bharta - smoky with onions, tomatoes and walnuts And for dessert we tried the black sticky rice pudding with cardamom ice cream and edible silver We enjoyed every dish, but would say the avocado banana chaat and dessert were our favorites because of how unique they are. We enjoyed everything about this restaurant and will definitely go again whenever we are in DC.
This was my first time visiting Rasika after many years.
Very good experience on a snowy evening . We booked a reservation a couple of days prior and instantly got seated inside when we arrived. It also has a outside patio seating. I'd give 5/5 for the service and ambience. Very sophisticated, inviting vibe. Our server was very attentive, gave us great food recommendations. The presentation was fantastic. We shared the following appetizers: 1. Palak Chat: 5/5 2. Spicy Reshmi Kebab: 5/5 3. Cashew lemon rice 4.5/5 The Palak Chaat was one of the most unique, delicious dishes I've ever tried. Fried spinach. I know, right? But this reading that was so crisp and just perfect. Then the delicious sauce and garnish. It was incredible. It doesn't sound fancy. It doesn't look fancy but the textures and flavors are phenomenal. I got the 3 meat platter. The salmon had a light almost nutty savory flavor that reminded me of pumpkin. The salmon 2as perfectly cooked. The chicken was amazing. For the mains, we ordered mutton roganjosh. It was rich curry that was simply heaven in each bite. Definitely stood out as my fav. Mutton cooked well but disappointed in its flavours a little bit as it was sweet. The mains don't come with rice so I had to order garlic naan.
Restaurant manager, Mr Santosh went above and beyond to
Restaurant manager, Mr Santosh went above and beyond to accommodate our seating requests, whenever I visit here am made to feel like family, this has been my favourite restaurant in DC for the past decade. Food and service are exemplary as well.
We were visiting from out of town, and Rasika came highly
We were visiting from out of town, and Rasika came highly recommended. We had the crab pepper masala, mixed grill, and black cod, along with the truffle oil naan and chilli pepper naan, with gin fizz cocktail to accompany. The food and drink were quite good - though the food was waiting on a service table for a few minutes and not quite as hot as it should have been. Also we asked for hot water, and the server brought out a tea pot which had clearly not been fully rinsed. We finally had some leftover rice, so we asked for some raita. We had to ask three times before it finally came out. So we are singing Rasika for the service, though our waiter was quite nice.
The palak chaat.
The palak chaat! Have celebrated 2 special occasions here and have been completely satisfied every time. The food is amazing. Ask your server about the house specialties if you're unsure where to begin. Amazing professional and friendly service. It's pricey, but for good reason. I recommend ordering 2-3 dishes with naan if you're a party of 2. The portions aren't enormous, so try out a few new things and split the check if you're on a budget. I usually dress up a little when I come here -- the ambiance is nicer approaching on business casual in the evening.
The ambiance is excellent.
I have been to the other location in DC but this one is even better. The food was hot, tasty and rich. I wouldn't say their quantity is bit but is good enough.
Great spot to go with a group for Indian food.
It had a great selection. The chicken biryani is where they really shined. It was spot on. Loved the shrimp curry. The lamb roll was OK and so was the Tika sampler plate. The table they offered us was in the back literally stuck behind a pillar. Not the best seat for sure (although we didn't have reservations).
Rasika is an elegant, high end restaurant with high-quality
Rasika is an elegant, high end restaurant with high-quality food in sizable portions. I was here for a work event, and the waiters didn't let anyone's glass empty. The food was outstanding. Only after did I find out Obama had a birthday here. Not shocking. We all are and drank our hearts out. Located downtown, this place is a worth a visit.
Rasika is a delicious Indian culinary experience in Penn
Rasika is a delicious Indian culinary experience in Penn Quarter that is packed full of unique flavors with every bite. Went for dinner with friends after work and we were excited to dive into some of Rasika's popular favorites ranging from the Palak Chaat, Tomato Lamb Curry, Raan-e-Rasika (lamb mince shank), and their famous cod. The Palak Chaat was crispy and fresh. It reminded me of the delicious flavors of Bhel Puri with vegetables and dahi (yogurt) mixed in. The Raan-e-Rasika was phenomenal. If you are a lamb lover, you'll be practically licking the plate clean with how tasty the masala, curry, and lamb meat compliments one another right off the bone. I can best describe it as savory without being greasy. Anyone from an Indian household knows how difficult that is to master! The true star of the show is the Black Cod! It was the perfect blend with notes of garlic-ginger paste, yogurt, and chili under a bed of soft, pillowy potatoes. One of the best seafood dishes I've ever had - worth every penny! To drink we had the Mumbai Manhattan (love the name!) and the Nectar of Sonoma. Both were strong and paired well with the Indian fusion flavors of the meal. As for service, the wait staff was speedy on a busy night. They were accommodating, kept our glasses of water full, and offered fantastic recommendations. The ambiance is dimly lit and luxurious. The color scheme of the restaurant is soothing and intimate for a wonderful meal to share with those that mean most to you :) Rasika will go down as one of my favorite spots in DC!
Delicious elevated Indian food
Made reservations here during a recent vacation and sat purposely at the kitchen table section so we would have something interesting to talk about while eating. Had a great experience. DH and I split tikka masala, small cauliflower dish, mango shrimp appetizer, chickpea and potato appetizer and the combo chutneys with papadam. Everything was good although would say the shrimp (recommended by our waiter was an unexpected favorite.) this amount was perfect for 2 hungry people. We order Indian food a fair amount but really loved trying several new dishes here. Would def come back if in town again.
I don't love Indian but I LOVED Rasika
I am not a fan of Indian food in general but for my wife's birthday we finally made it to Rasika. She loves it and I love her so... I have to say, it was nothing short of spectacular. Every bite was amazing. Full of flavor, colorful, deep, bright, a true pleasure to dine here. The spinach is a MUST and the 4 course tasting menu was about 8 courses. Great value and great bites. The lentils were my favorite and I don't even like lentils.
Outstanding restaurant week meal
Came here for restaurant week as 2 couples. $65 tasting menu for 3 courses. As we were 4 people, we basically ordered almost everything on the menu and just shared. Everything was excellent and the portions were quite generous. The service was outstanding. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant.
Busy lunch crowd
Order the black cod. A little disappointed that the signature dish didn't come with any sides just a stingy bed of cauliflower puree. It was very good cod and decent sized but, they could've put some side vegetables or a bit more of the cauliflower! We had to order a side of rice to go with it. The chicken tikka masala thankfully came with rice.
Thorough enjoyed our dinner
Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at this restaurant. Service was good and the food was so flavorful. Sweet potato Samosa was tasty as well as the ragda pattice for appetizers. Our mains were good, lamb chops, paneer mirch ka salan with a small portion of gohbi mattar. Very enjoyable dinner and would return.
Perfect in every way
My husband and I had a wonderfully romantic dinner here, for at least the third time. The staff has an Old World elegance in their professionalism, friendliness, and class. Water glasses are discreetly refilled, and your server always appears at just the right time. The manager stops by to say hello. The kitchen serves modern Indian - such heavenly flavor combinations! Also try the truffle-oil naan and for dessert, the lovely light date pudding. The decor has understated sparkle, and the vibe is quietly romantic. Even with a full dining room, we could hear the low background music. Highly recommend, and do make reservations first!
Love this restaurant ❤️
Love this restaurant so much !! Every dish is perfect!! I highly recommend it. The ambiance and decor are also a highlight . The service is also top notch! Every time I visit DC I go and I never get disappointed .
Underwhelming
Service was not very good at all. Didn’t see our waiter for very long periods of time. Had to request someone to take our order and sat with empty glasses for 15 minutes during the meal. Food was decent but service really made the experience underwhelming. Will not be back. Recommend passing on this place…overrated.
Delicious Indian dishes
Overall a great dining experience. My second time here and I needed vegetarian food options, which did NOT disappoint. It was my husband and our friend’s first time, they enjoyed their cocktails, lamb, and chicken dishes. Service was outstanding, thanks Mohammed! We can’t wait to be back.
Fantastic food and flavors
We had reservations for a party of 5. We got the corner table. Phenomenal service. We did the Chef’s tasting menu - with a series of amazing stuff brought to our table. From Kale Papri-chat to Sweet Potato samosa to Delhi Papadi Chaat - the flavors were amazing, the rice and breads were good and the curries were amazing. We were pretty stuffed and the desserts were good as well. Washed it all down with MacAllen 18 fine scotch. Really an experience to savor and an evening to remember.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
