walking around the hood before dinner, i walked by Rasika and saw several complimentary articles posted on the door & windows. I wanted to see if any chowhounds have dined there and ask what you thought of it — we love good... (5 replies, last updated by librichman November 5, 2007)

Steve’s description of Rasika is elegantly diplomatic. You might consider that diplomats and staff from the Indian Embassy often go to the White Tiger on Capital Hill. While it’s certainly not as trendy as Rasika,... (5 replies, last updated by ChocoHound May 24, 2007)

I’m pretty sure Rasika is my favorite restaurant in DC. We went Saturday night, moved up our reservations so we could see a movie after, and then arrived WAY too early (cab vs. metro!) but they were happy to seat us. We... (18 replies, last updated by littlew1ng August 25, 2009)

Hey All, i have reservations tonight for Rasika, finally going to try it out after reading the rave reviews. For anyone that has been, should we order the tasting menu or just order from the menu? Does anyone have any... (15 replies, last updated by Elyssa August 20, 2009)

I’m finally trying Rasika tomorrow night for the first time. My boyfriend and I have been trying to go there for months now but every time he’s in town they are either booked or closed. This time I planned well in... (12 replies, last updated by Jeserf May 21, 2009)

I’ve been to Rasika now a couple of times. Each time I have enjoyed the food, but have had terrible service. They aren’t rude but inefficient, slow and don’t really pay attention. Both times I was there they... (3 replies, last updated by discojing December 31, 2008)
