Garlic Naan
Angela S.

Definitely a fun and new take on Indian food. Ordered the chicken tikka bowl, iced chai, and garlic naan through delivery and everything came very well packaged. The sauces and toppings on the bowl were very delicious. The Chai was definitely worth getting! Disappointed with the garlic naan, it seemed more like a flatbread from the grocery store with a little bit of garlic topping.

Create your own Grain Bowl

Grain Bowl: 1/2 South Indian Rice Noodles, 1/2 Lemon Turmeric Rice, Spicy Chili Chicken, Coconut Ginger, Kachumber Salad, Mango Salsa, Roasted Lentils, Pickled Onions, Ginger Tamarind Chutney. Honestly it was okay but I probably would not go back due to the lack of sauce, I wish there was more to mix in. I never would have thought I would complain about having too much protein, but the bowl had too much spicy chili chicken (at least it was seasoned right but I had a couple chewy parts). I just don't think there was a balance of each side, plus the South Indian Rice Noodles were DRY, CRUNCHY, therefore inedible In addition, the mango salsa was not sweet & used unripe mangos. From eating authentic Indian food to this chipotle style eatery, I think if you are looking for a quick to go meal this would be your type of spot. Otherwise, just stick with the traditional Indian cuisine, I respect the concept though.

First had RASA years ago after being introduced through a Yelp elite event. I loved learning about the history of this business. It's such a great story. My first time at this location was a great experience. I easily placed a mobile order via the app. I was warmly greeted right away and my food was ready when I arrived. It's been so long that I literally forgot how much I enjoyed their food. The "Tikka Chance on Me" bowl was delicious! The bold flavors really come together so well. Add the spicy tamarind chili - you won't regret it! I will visit again!

Butter Chicken
Carley M.

I have had their catering ordered to my office once and it was good! But i ordered on uber eats and it was gross. It tasted lemony like tangy and not how i have ever had butter chicken before. The bag was sealed shut so it hadn't been tampered with but I was highly unimpressed this last time

The service and atmosphere at Rasa was great! The decorations in this place is gorgeous and the staff member were very friendly and patient with me as a first-time. I ordered the Butter Chicken online a coworker recommended it to me and I must say it was absolutely outstanding.I love the flavors. I will definitely be back to try other dishes.

Wow this place was great. I never tried this place before and I'm happy that I gave it a try because it was amazing. The inside was beautiful and the staff was super helpful. Food was amazing, they really stuffed my bowl. They had a water and ice machine with water cups on the side for those who don't buy drinks which I really appreciated. The forks were made from recycled material and were really good quality. Altogether this was a great place with great food, no complaints at all. I will come here again for sure.

Stumbled across this gem in rockville. Honestly beat my expectations. Service was good, ordering was not complicated at all. The flavors of the bowl were amazing. The Naan was just mid, kinda dry. The spicies and sauces complimented each other so we'll. I will be coming back for sure

Tikka chance on me
Whitney L.

I first tried Rasa for the first time in Arlington, VA as it was located right downstairs from my apartment. I absolutely loved the variety of ingredients and freshness behind it. so it made me super happy to know they opened a location in Rockville. The concept is like a chipotle with Indian cuisine. I really loved the tikka chance on me bowl (they currently have a special with this one) and the chicken tikka avocado salad is alright. Mango lassi here is also VERY good. Employees are friendly and attentive. It's very clean in the restaurant and utensils are by the beverage area.

Open Sesame with lamb.

There are a number of fast casual restaurants in the area that serve bowls (a lot!), and this is similar, but with an Indian flair. We went to Rasa yesterday for lunch and were pleased. We each got a Chef Recommended bowl. I had the Spicy Chili Chicken Bowl - the chicken was well cooked and had a mild spice. I really liked how all the ingredients worked well together, including the coconut flavor in the sauce. On the negative side, the white rice was a bit mushy. Also, I was surprised that the Bowl is named "spicy" because the item my partner got, the Open Sesame, was much more spicy. My partner also paid another dollar to include chick peas in the bowl. Open Sesame - delicious ground lamb meatballs (spicy!) with eggplant, rice and other tasty items in a peanut sesame sauce. My partner subbed the turmeric rice for the white rice that comes with it, and said the rice was delicious, with thinly sliced almonds and raisins. Garlic Naan - most of the bread, except for the outer edges, was very soggy. Either the bread needed to be cooked more or it was put into aluminum foil to keep it warm and it got soggy in the packaging. But it did have lots of garlic flavor. Yum! The server who prepared our dishes was friendly and helpful. There is a large variety of items for a design-your-own bowl. There are bottles of a hot sauce available in the front of the restaurant. To spice up my meal, I took one and - honestly - had a hard time getting the product out of the squeeze bottle. The tip of the bottle was blocked by what appeared to be dried out hot sauce, which I had to remove with a tissue and the edge of a fork. Either the product is a paste (which suggests the spout of the bottle should be larger) or the sauce was dried out. I don't know for sure. It was just unexpected.

I visited RASA at noon just before the lunch crowd arrive. Upon walking in, you get an immediate sense of trendy fast casual restaurant. The decor was great and the restaurant is clean! Ordering was easy. They have a build your own menu, as well as, a Chef Curated menu. I ordered the Tandoori Paneer Bowl, Spicy Chili Chicken Bowl and a side of Samosa Chaat. Everything was very tasty and priced properly to the area. If you have a craving for Indian, give RASA a try! Note: Parking was easy for me but I can see it being a pain during peak times!

I came to RASA on a Monday night for dinner with a friend. RASA is located off of Rockville Pike and shares a parking lot with other nearby restaurants such as Honeygrow, Cava, etc. The parking lot can get packed on the weekends though. RASA is setup so you can either select premade Indian inspired combinations or make your own. I decided to make my own bowl: - Basmati Rice as my Base (step 1) - Chicken Tikka as my Main (step 2) - Tomato Garlic as my Sauce (step 3) - Sautéed Spinach & Spring Chickpeas as my Veggies (step 4) - Corn Salsa as my Topping (step 5) - Mint Cilantro Chutney as my Topping Sauce (step 6) I loved that there were so many options for my custom bowl. Staff were friendly and kept the line moving quickly. I really enjoyed my dinner, it was very flavorful and everything seemed like it was freshly just made. There is plenty of seating available inside, where you can seat yourself. If you are craving Indian and want something fast and casual, I would recommend RASA :)

I enjoyed the chicken Tikka wrap, though I'd prefer it with more sauce, and I'd like to try a spicier version. I expect to come back.

The food doesn't taste good, a bit salty. Our body react to some things in their ingredients and start scratching. We dont like it at all

Have you ever loved a restaurant so much you went back twice in the same day? That was me here…read more This Pike & Rose gem in North Bethesda is everything you hope for in a neighborhood spot -- fresh, imaginative Mediterranean-inspired food, a vibrant yet cozy atmosphere, and the kind of place you immediately start planning to revisit. Everything I tried was fantastic, from the perfectly prepared chicken kebabs to the cod with farro. The blackberry vodka cocktail was beautiful and delicious, and the saffron steamed milk with ginger for dessert was absolute perfection. The entire concept feels current, welcoming, and effortlessly cool without trying too hard. Can't wait to return the next time I'm back in town for meetings!

I've had this booked marked for over two years and my cutie pie always says, "what is in this book…read moremark of yours", lol. Although he will lead most times, I pick one place every weekend so we can check it off together. This Friday (5/16) I picked Julii! He's a regular so although super packed they made it work and sat us immediately without a reservation. This place is popular and a reservation is needed. While I thought the menu was limited, it does the job. I wanted Branzino and had that in my mind the whole day but was disappointed that it wasn't on the menu. Welp, y'all know I love a burger. Service was fantastic! Ambiance feels like stepping into a French‑Mediterranean boutique café that someone elevated into a luxury dining room. It's warm, intimate, and softly glamorous without trying too hard. Let's get into it! Chicken Kabob - Seasoned perfectly over rice! Really good! Burger - Added bacon and mushrooms- Absolutely delicious! Drinks were delicious! No apps because I wasn't that hungry! I will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

The sweet potato fries came with the ribs and my goodness, by far my favorite sweet potato fries ever - crispy, crinkle cut, rectangular shaped fries.

I had to wait a few minutes for the host to return to the stand, but was seated promptly and a 4-top table in the center of the dining room. Service was attentive and polite. My water glass stayed full throughout and she helped me navigate the differences among several espresso martini options from the bar. The dining room has lovely high ceilings and the bathrooms were pristine. I ordered the Costa Mesa salad and added chicken. This brought the cost of my entree to $32 -- which I did not feel met the value for what I was served. The food was good, but there certainly wasn't enough of it or ingredients that I felt warranted the $32 price tag. I also took home four cookies ($5-$6 each) to share with my family. The cookies were good, but again, not worth the price tag. A return visit is probably not in the cards for me any time soon. This is a convenient spot to the iPic Theater and other "downtown" rockville spots so it might be nice to get brunch and then go to a movie or do some shopping. Parking is in a garage nearby.

Some of the servers are super great, and some are not so much. When a burger without certain ingredients was ordered, one waiter rudely said "then what do you want on the burger" however, the burger still had plenty of ingredients listed, that the person ordering didn't ask to be left off. It's difficult to order a plain burger with the only burger on the menu has bacon and cheese. The food is standard fare. Burgers, sandwiches, salads. The chef pays attention to allergens. I've tried the shrimp roll, the Caesar salad, and the turkey club. All of these can be made gluten free, although the menu doesn't denote it. Another in my party enjoyed the shrimp tacos and the burger. Being inside the Marriott, it is a little overpriced, but the food is good, just hit or miss with service. Great for a quick bite if you're staying in the Marriott.
