Fast service and great atmosphere. However, the food is hit and miss. The palak chaat and beetroot appetizers were really good. The Aloo bukhara curry was very sweet and kind of weird and not expecting flavor. The breads were cold.

Good quality, modern take on Indian food. The palak chat is an absolute must try. The paneer tikka was flavorful. The sweet potato samosa were nice but could be better. They came with the tamarind dip but a spicier dip would be better to cut the sweetness from the sweet potato. We also got the biryani which was good and the cheese kulcha tasted yum too. I went there for my birthday so they even gave us a free dessert. Overall, very attentive staff and the place has a good ambience along with good food. Make sure you make a reservation especially over the weekends as they might be booked out.Vegetarian options: lots of veggie options to choose from.Dietary restrictions: Vegan, vegetarian friendly. Customizations for some dishes can be made if requested.Parking: We found street parking which was paid, but in case you don't find that, there are some more expensive public parking in the area where you can park your car.
This is a cute place, they however do not have happy hour and when compared to other spots in the area, their presentation is very lackluster for a $16 cocktail. Flavors nice, though. Need to improve their effort on presentation because their competitors do this very well.

Spacious, modern atmosphere with a good variety of dishes. By default, spice was on the muted side. So ask for spice level when ordering. Large outside area that’s really nice And also indoor dining area and a lounge area.

I recently ordered from Rasika West End through UberEats and was left utterly disappointed. I had high expectations given the reputation of the restaurant, but my experience was far from satisfactory.I ordered Paneer Lajawab with garlic naan, a combination that I usually enjoy. However, the food I received was far from enjoyable. The paneer was stale and the naan was cold, a clear indication that the food was not freshly prepared. To add to the disappointment, the food was excessively salty, making it virtually inedible.The quality of the food seriously undermined my dining experience. It’s disheartening to see such a lapse in standards from a restaurant like Rasika West End. I hope they take this feedback into consideration and work towards improving their food quality and delivery service.

Saltiness is an understatement to describe the biryani "veggie " dish. On the level of a trader Joe's frozen Indian dinner. Veggies were few and tasted like out of a can. The Naan was lacking as well. Sorry we went there. Dc deserves better.

First timer. Tried Goat Biryani, Vegetable Biryani, Chicken Tikka, Mango Shrimp and guess what? Terrible taste.Not just that, absolutely overpriced and ridiculously low quantity.Would not recommend to anyone if you are going there to enjoy food.Note: They add 20% mandatory tip to the bill if you are a party of 5 people or more.

I was a fan of Rasika once and had multiple visits there, but I won't visit it again.As a person who is familiar with this cuisine, I used to applaud for the new uniqueness they brought through their dishes yet maintaining the bold indian flavors unapologetically, through both veg and non veg menu. Low key was proud of it back then.During this visit, I was highly disappointed. They started bold with their entrees( Palak chaat and beetroot goat cheese Tikki), but it all went downhill from then. The mains were totally bland, no flavor at all, and not even warm. It seems like they dish was ready for long, and they forgot about it.The dessert was next, and the graph went down again. Kulfi had a cookie at the bottom and was too hard to even pick up and chew. We asked them, replied very rude, saying this is how it is eat or throw it.Service was quick, but food was a disaster.As a person who loved Indian cuisine, Rasika became a huge disappointment.
