Rasika West End - Calumet-Norvelt

Great Indian food and drinks. We visit here every DC trip. Must visit. Very busy.

This place is excellent in service, food and atmosphere. What more can you ask for? Best Indian food I ever had.

I am giving this place a 3.5 overall. The front of the house was not warm and welcoming. Our server was not good. He didn't communicate well with us about recommendations and suggestions. He seemed unhappy. He asked us if we were ready to order, like we were wasting his time, and he was in a hurry. We asked for a recommendation for a dessert and he didn't seem interested, or enthusiastic about providing options. The food runner and water person were poorly trained. The food is delicious. The restaurant is well designed and comfortable. There are many different areas to sit, dine, and drink. If we had a different server it would have been a more enjoyable experience.

This was our first time experiencing this restaurant. And boy did we enjoy the food. The service was excellent, the food was even better. We tried multiple appetizers, entrees and desserts. Every dish was spot on. We tried vegetarian options, chicken, lamb and sea food. They also offered a complimentary dessert as we were celebrating a birthday. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back next time we are in the DC area. Mango rasmalai was our favorite dish by far.

Fantastic. The service was amazing. As soon as one dish was done, it was taken and the next arrived. The star of the show was the mango shrimp. Next time we would skip the tandoori paneer.
