I recently went here again with my wife and was pleased to see that the food quality is still as good as it was the last time I was here three years ago. I got a burrito with chili chicken, and it had outstanding flavor, chicken, and heat. I highly recommend for your next pre- or post-game meal at Nats Park or Audi Field! read more

Clean space, friendly faces, and food so fresh it practically fills out its own comment card. The veggie options were crisp and bright--always a good sign that the kitchen cares about more than just the proteins. And speaking of proteins... the lamb meatballs. I'll be honest--they weren't winning any beauty contests. But one bite in, and boom: perfectly spiced, tender, and surprisingly addictive. A true "don't judge a book by its cover" moment. Great neighborhood casual spot, great staff, and flavors that overdeliver. I'd come back. read more

Came here the night after July 4th... happened that the Nat's game just finished and also a bunch of kids were firing fireworks at cars and the crowd. Massive police activity as a result. The food was very salty! The portions also feel a little smaller than previously. We ordered online and was able to customize. By the time we arrived though, there was only one person working, so we still had to wait until he was done servicing in store customers. But he was a very very nice server. read more

So, I stumbled on Rasa randomly as I was trying to decide on what my taste buds desired as I walked from the Wharf to the Navy Yard. While walking past and eventually into Rasa, I immediately noticed that they were a cute, casual spot, that served Indian food. Needless to say I was sold. Rasa gives Chipotle/CAVA/Bindaas vibes (affordable food with decently healthy options). Additionally, the workers here were patient with honest recommendations, which I greatly appreciated. Prior to making such a hard decision lol, I sampled the chicken to help solidify my choice. The chicken by itself was flavored very well, which led me to get the Tikka Chance on Me Bowl. The bowl itself was great, portion wise, however there were some sauces and ingredients within the bowl that reduced the impact-fulness of that wonderfully flavored chicken. Due that, the bowl was just average to me. Overall, I had a good experience and will be open to trying something different at Rasa that amplifies the flavors of their chicken. read more

Listen I love me some Rasa! Ever since I was first introduced to them thru Yelp. Now I am working on a 6 week project at Navy Yard. Ask me how many times I have had them in a 2 week span :-) lol. Today marks number 5. Today we were greeted by Dejuan who not only made recommendations but also supplied us with top customer service. I got a bowl with arugula, chicken, chickpeas, yellow rice, cucumbers, corn and to top it all off the chickpea noodles! The quality of food here is what makes me keep coming back. I try something new each time, whether it is the lamb, or a topping or a sauce. read more

would've given it five stars if one of the employees was a bit kinder in her approach. the food was good for fast food indian and i love that they had a vegan masala chai soft serve option. i did not love that i wasn't told there would be an up charge. the way they rang up a customized bowl felt like an up charge. instead of informing me kindly the woman was kind of like so be it. didn't love that and felt a bit petty. ordered a bowl with lamb and cauliflower and potatoes with the fixings. it was pretty good and filling. we had some garlic naan on the side and i ordered a couple scoops of the soft serve with their chai cookies as well. again, a chai lover here. love the flavor! appreciated the education around the owners and all the nods to indian culture around the restaurant. read more

Summary: solid meal. We ordered for pickup, so not too much to be said about service, but it's kind of like Indian food meets CAVA/Chipotle. The portion size in my case was a bit underwhelming and they were a bit stingy with the sauce for my entree. Otherwise, the flavor was good and the shrimp was cooked very well. It's a great meal for a reasonable price and they have a good selection of drinks too. read more

I'm late to the Rasa train but I'm glad I'm on it now! Rasa is hella good and very reasonable for the quality of food. The decor is super cute and colorful with swing chairs included. It is very spacious for DC and more like a Chipotle style line when you enter. The menu has a great variety of bowls, drinks (nonalcoholic and alcoholic) and desserts. I've had their butter chicken bowls, mango lassi frozen yogurt and hot masala chai. All 5 stars! I'll have to try new items next time I go but I like sticking to my regular order lol. read more

Always enjoy getting food from here because I know it will be fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend their Tikka Chance On Me bowl!

To describe this place, I would use the words...reliably delicious and fast. The format is a fast casual line where you start at one end with your base and the add on all of your extra is you progress towards the register and ultimately pay. I built my own bowl and had the tandoori paneer. No notes, it was awesome. I also enjoy their mini samosas, and the service was great. Very warm people working there. I'm honestly surprised there weren't more patrons inside, but I think the location might be relatively new. I don't think it will be long before RASA is very popular in that area. read more

Great customer service! I also really like how now they have classic indian plates like Chicken Tikka Masala instead of just the bowls. My favorite is the butter chicken. Every time I order online, it's ready in like five minutes which is very impressive. Good rewards program too. Wish they had their outdoor tables set up still though! read more

Rasa is fabulous and I wouldn't be surprised if it keeps growing like Cava did. Like others have said, it's kind of like "Chipotle but Indian"--except there are dishes you can actually order without choosing each ingredient, they have more options for sides (the samosas are my favorite!), they have alcoholic beverages (including local beers!), they have much cuter decor (very colorful and hip), and they have an adorable origin story. In that sense, it's better than Chipotle and shouldn't be compared! Service was excellent, and I loved everything I ate. Unsurprisingly for Indian cuisine, there were plenty of options for me as a vegetarian. I highly recommend Rasa! read more

Convenient, but very very westernized food and isn't authentic at all. Definitely catered to the taste buds who have no clue except believe it is exotic. Samosas are good though. It's also a cute shop - that is the best thing and definitely clean. But if you are looking for authentic Indian food, this definitely isn't the place. read more

We checked out Rasa for the first time for a quick, casual dinner after a comedy show in Navy Yard. I love Cava / fast casual bowls and Indian food, so I was excited for Rasa! The flavors were delicious. I made my own bowl, but I think next time I would try one of their curated creations. The samosa chaat was underwhelming unfortunately! I loooove samosas so I was looking forward to that side dish - but the samosas were super dry. The ambiance inside the restaurant is super cute and cozy. I will be visiting the downtown location for lunch soon! read more

I ordered Rasa for delivery while in my hotel in DC and I was so glad to have tried it! Really fresh flavors, good portions, and a good price. I ordered a Greens+ Grains bowl. You can build your own bowl. I ordered mine with tofu, cauliflower, rice, greens, chickpeas, tomato, avocado + chutneys. Also ordered garlic naan, samosa chaat, and masala chai cookies. The food was really delicious! Great flavors. Only downfall was I didn't get any tofu despite ordering some in the bowl and the chai cookies weren't very the best/fresh. The naan was yummy though and complimented all the flavors in the bowl well. Definitely a great option for delivery or to even dine in as it looked like a nice spot! read more

I have never been to a beach party in Goa, but I would love to go someday. I imagine that visiting Rasa gives a little bit of what that might be like, in the best possible way. One of their menu items mentions Goa and I have been thinking of it ever since. Service was smiling, warm, friendly, attentive and casual. I felt like I could ask anything that I needed to as a novice with Indian cuisine. We ordered the lamb bowl. It was a large amount of food/a good value... rich with complex layers of flavor. I finished mine before I could take a photo. Oops! The desserts were two varieties of "creamy crack" in that they were good enough to become addictive. I ate both and left The Date to fend for himself. :#) I'm sorry to post photos of empty dishes but the food was gone by the time that I gathered my wits. I'm sure to be back very soon and will try to get a photo. read more

We typically do take out/pick up using the online ordering. This time we did order ahead and set a time for our food to be ready. When we got to the restaurant it was packed and ready to go when we requested for it to be ready. I've never dined in but we do like the decor of the restaurant. There are lots of color usage but not over the top and I really do like the hanging egg shaped basket chairs. They're fun looking. Our food was good. I ordered a Tikka chance on me. Chickens good and enjoy the sauces veggies and other toppings. One customization I do is half basmati rice and half noodles, I like the variety. There are a lot of options to build your own if you want to be creative or have a particular craving. Will be back for more bowls and garlic naan! read more

Always enjoy the food at rasa. I came by around 8 pm to pickup some dinner. I thought about ordering ahead of time on the app (and in retrospect, I really wish I had), but I figured they wouldn't be too busy on a Tuesday so I just took a chance. I ordered the new Tandoori Paneer Bowl (tandoori paneer | tomato garlic sauce | lemon turmeric rice | sautéed spinach | cucumber cubes | cilantro | tamarind ginger | mint cilantro | chickpea noodles). I also got a side order of garlic naan. They were out of the tomato garlic sauce so they asked if I wanted an alternate sauce or if I would wait a few minutes for the tomato sauce and I opted to wait for the sauce. The staff member told me to have a seat and he'd bring my food out to me. About 5 minutes later he brought me my bag of food and I hopped on the metro and headed across town to head home to dig in. When I got home I realized the naan wasn't in the bag which was a huge bummer. Definitely my fault for not checking before I left, but also the restaurant was mostly empty while I was there and it felt like a basic thing to forget. I called to ask if they could refund me the cost of the naan and they seemed confused and after having me on hold for about 5-10 minutes they said they had processed the refund but I just checked my CC and they never actually did so that was a bummer! Definitely double check your back before you leave read more

Lately it's been much better here! The bowls are consistently tasty and healthy, and I haven't stayed inside for more than a couple minutes each time (pickup orders only), so I can't comment on the current state of the indoor mosquitoes (not taking that risk again! ). read more

I had to rush and go try this spot out after seeing all of the great reviews and post from yelpmdburbs event the other day. Since I was on this fruit and veggie fast I tried the veggie samosa and they were amazing! I didn't know what I have been missing out on. I loved the darker sauce with them. I notice that they have other great things on their menus that I can't wait to try. The service was great. I was able to get in and out and the lady was very helpful. This place is too cute. Next time I'm going to get me a photo in front of their blue big door! I will be read more

I had the Paneer Tikka Bowl and it was fabulous-- so flavorful and rich! The staff were also lovely.

Fantastic Americanized Indian. We went with a friend from India, and she intended to go back!

Not bad! Didn't give me the authentic vibe I love, but it was nice and quick meal. The facility was clean and they had good amount of seating! The naan was smaller than what I normally see at a Indian restaurant, so I would pass on that next time. read more

So good! Oh, so, so, so good! My salad bowl was so full of Indian flavors, I could eat another two days in a row. Heck, I'd eat it all week. I was super excited that I could eliminate the rice and have sexy greens! That's a win right there. So my salad Bowl had  Sexygreens, Arugula, Chicken Tikka, Tomato Garlic (Mild), Sauteed Spinach,  Kachumber Salad, Masala Beets, Pickled Radish, Pickled Onions, and Strawberry Rhubarb Chutney. Rasa was not skimpy on any of the ingredients especially the chicken. I was still eating chunks of chicken as my last bites! I love the concept of an Indian poke bowl. I had so much food to try all in one bowl. I loved every flavorful bite. And let me tell you what put this place over the top for me. Not only did they have an option to NOT get plastic utensils with our pick up order but our food came in a re-usable cloth bag! No one has done this at any of the restaurants that I have ordered from. You bet I will be re-using that bag. It makes a great lunch bag. I am so glad our community have these food drop offs by restaurants that I would not have had the opportunity to try. I'm rarely in DC so this was such a nice treat! I would love it if RASA had a location in MoCo! Please, RASA, can you open one near me? Please? read more

Ordered take out for our Board and RASA put together a tasty, budget friendly menu. It was ready on time and RASA staff helped put it in my car. Everything was packaged so well that, despite the Board meeting going overtime, the food was still warm. RASA even provided plates, napkins, cutlery and serving utensils. This was the first time tasting RASA for most of them and they raved about the food. This is the best restaurant with a 4 letter name in our neighborhood! Only wish they would answer their phones. read more

The food here is amazing - every bite is like an explosion of flavors. I got the Caul Me Maybe, the Samosa Chaat, and the masala cookies. The Caul Me Maybe had a lot of things going on - all of which are good. There were various sides and veggies that all had unique flavors. The Samosa Chaat is a shareable side dish with some samosas and chickpeas. The masala cookies are small but pack a punch. They resemble biscuits but are soft and extremely flavorful. I definitely plan on coming back here again! read more

It was love at first bite! And I wanna say the rest is history. Unfortunately not. Today was my first time trying them and how have I not known about RASA?!?

Haven't had Rasa in the longest while since pre-covid. I went today since I was at the office and it's their 5 yr anniversary (so $5 we got you bowls). I went there around 1130am and it's just so different without the lunch crowd, but luckily the food is the same. I got the Open Sesame and at first I was taken back by the soft texture of the lamb meatballs, but the mint cilantro chutney tied it in nicely with the eggplants and cuke cubes. The rice was oddly hard and I wished it had a softer texture, but it will do! The flavor is pretty awesome! (You can order ahead online for pick up.) read more

Sometimes you don't realize the character of a business until there's adversity. I had always wanted to visit RASA for the food of course though not gonna lie also for the decor too!!! Colorful interior? Swing chairs? Blue door??? Yes, photo ops!!! While all of that exists, my first experience didn't include any of that. It was via delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. My sister and I enjoyed their Home Cooking bowls, Chai Masala cookies, and samosas. All so good, I couldn't even snap a photo of everything but trust my word...amazing!! Going back to the beginning of my review, what I've been so impressed by is RASA's response to it all. Like everyone in the restaurant industry, these times are really the toughest ever yet I've felt nothing but good vibes since I began following them on Instagram and have appreciated their support of healthcare workers and grocery workers, who are some of many on the direct frontline. Thinking of the community and their staff and customers, that's worthy of all the love. Now everyone please continue to practice safety and care for others and soon we'll all be able to enjoy the good food, decor (I call dibs on a swing chair!!), and overall good vibes together again. read more

Best build your own bowl place in DC. It lets you pile on almost as much as you can without charging extra. RASA is a fast Indian restaurant where you go through a line. Has lots of options to choose from. The food smells so good too. I had one of the bowls. It's about $10 with your choice of protein. The proteins include beef, chicken, and tofu. It's garnished with toppings of your choice. There's noodles and rice. It has all kinds of hot and sweet sauces to pour on. There's a lot of different vegetables. It's easy to get carried away with all your choices. The bowl can fill up way fast. Luckily it won't charge you for each topping, or this would be very expensive. The drinks are good too. It has various flavored lemonades and iced teas, and you'll need a drink if you get a spicy sauce. Thankfully these also seem to be unlimited refills because no one's ever said they aren't but please don't quote me on that. It also has some side items. The loaded up bowl is more than enough for me so I haven't gotten the stuff like samosas. It seems like a much better version of CAVA. It's for sure better than Chipotle. You won't be leaving here hungry after filling your bowl up. read more
