To quote Guy Fieri, this place is a freight train straight to FlavorTown.
If you hate Guy Fieri then don't let this review deter you. Navy Yard (and DC in general) has been in need of an Indian fast-casual concept. Something in between Cava and Roti, that's more Indian than Mediterranean. This place fills that void and delivers across the board.
In the two times I've been, I've tried the lamb and spicy beef. Both were flavored to perfection. The rice noodles were also a pretty unique and tasty base. I was adventurous and picked my own vegetables/toppings and the end product turned out amazing.
Also shoutout to whoever decorated the place. Makes me feel really shitty about the Ikea paintings in my apartment. Go check it out - you won't regret it!
Rasa brings an option of food to navy yard and DC that it was desperately in need of. Between the colorful restaurant and amazing decor, the food itself is incredible! I loved the Home Cooking bowl. It had amazing flavors and it has an amazing price point for some of the best shrimp you'll taste!
Similar layout to chipotle or cava amd places like that. The interior is super cute with a modern flair. Food is perfectly seasoned and tendered while also not having an overbearing flavor. I love their coconut sauce.
Literally AMAZING.
I went here for lunch and the staff was so nice. The atmosphere is relaxing and beautiful (Tina of things to look at!)
And the food is 10/10.
Think of it as a Indian version of Chipotle 😅😋😋😋
This is a great fast casual option in navy yard. It’s not Rasika, but for clear casual, this is a great option for a healthy and tasty meal. Think of Rasa like cava or roti with a Indian cuisine twist. Innovative! Tikka Chance on Me!
Cool super friendly vibe. Gave samples to help me decide. Spicy beef on arugala and basmati with a garlic naan and mint cardamom limeade. 20 bucks. Awesome and delishious. Just blocks from Nationals ballpark and metro.
Highly recommend!
First time here and I am very impressed with the flavor of everything. I ordered the Open Sesame - (Lamb Kebabs) , switched out the peanut sauce for the garlic coconut and tomato garlic sauce. SO YUMMS. As someone from Malaysia and is part Indian. I really enjoyed my meal. ♡ Will definitely be back if I am ever in the area.
Enjoyed the bowl with sweet potato tikkis. Their tamarind chutney was delicious too! Wish their peanut sesame sauce had more flavor to it, it tasted quite bland.
Large space with plenty of vegetarian options. Ideal for grabbing a quick lunch.
I loved everything about this place. Good vibes overwhelming. The staff was so friendly, you can really tell that they loved what they were doing. Food is off the chart. I cannot possibly over recommend it!
They serve Indian style cuisine but know that it's not what you would get from a true sit down Indian restaurant. You can build your own bowl or go with their bowl options. I get what they already designed and it's always good. I usually get the Aloo Need is Love bowl which comes with these amazing sweet potato tiki balls. The fresh naan is delicious as well. You'll spend about $15 for a bowl and naan. If you want a delicious and hearty lunch served quickly this is good place to visit.

As the street gets darker in Navy yards DC when you walk away from Nats Stadium and you pass by the not so interesting (but sometimes reliable) Chipotle, you will find this amazing space called Rasa. The moment I entered Rasa I knew this was gonna be fun. From deep meaningful painting at the entrance to the really cool music inviting you, the ambience passed the vibe check.
The bowl in Rasa is a mix of various cultures of India. The gravy sauces, the protein, veggies and the base all delicious. Even the supergrains, which can be bland in other places, are flavorful.
Ordered for Spicy beef which had taste of kerala in it, but that topped with peanut sesame and tomato garlic sauce and side of mind blowingly delicious veggies that reminds you of different types of cuisines in India, gave a brilliant flavor profile that knocked me off my feet (not that I am gonna marry the dish but could’ve if it was a real person)
The staff was nice and helpful to give chutneys on the side.
Don’t miss the Lassi too. One of the best in Nova/DC area.
Only thing missing was naan to complete the whole meal, but the blissful burp after the meal is telling me to ignore this nitpick.
Everything was amazing - the food is delicious (I had the TIKKA CHANCE ON ME and OPEN SESAME) and the decor is awesome! The swings by the window are a fun touch!! It is a beautiful spot, can't wait to go back to try the other bowls, the mango lassi and the G&Ts on tap!
