Valet was very nice, we got in and got seated immediately after arriving at our reservation time. My fiancee, mom, and I went out to celebrate my birthday and we all had a great time! The service was excellent and the food was incredible! This was my 3rd time at the Penn Quarter location and each time I get excellent service and amazing food.

I first dined at Rasika on a business trip in Feb 2023 and I have been dreaming of returning to Rasika ever since! I finally got my chance :-)

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rasika's ambiance, cuisine, and service. I especially recommend the palak chaat, tandoori lamb chops, and house made cardamom ice cream!

Very refined Indian food. Equally refined ambiance. A combination that earned then a Michelin recommendation and a most sought after reservation. We had Palak Chaat (a must-order), Sweet Potato Samosa, Truffle Seekh Kebab. For the mains we had Saiji Lamb Shank (best dish and best value), Duck Vindaloo, Halibut Goan Curry, Goat Ahuna. Go ahead and order extra rice or roti or nan as the sauces are heavenly.
