This lamb kebab was very good! It was super tender and very flavorful and I really liked the accompaniments – very classy.

Mmm, this dish was delicious! I loved the deep, rich flavor of this chicken tikka masala. It was well developed and very flavorful. The chunks of chicken were also tender and tasty. Noms!

Fresh mango, cashew nut, ginger, mint chutney. $10
Rasika, Washington DC

The shrimp tasted great, but I wish they were cooked a little less. They were a bit dry and hard. The mint chutney was great along with the diced beets.

Crispy baby spinach, sweet yogurt, tamarind, date chutney. $10
Rasika, Washington DC

This dish was fun to start! I’ve never had an entire plate of fried baby spinach before. It reminded me of the fried basil used for garnish on other dishes, but as a entire appetizer. I liked the flavors and textures of this dish, but after a while you realize that you’re eating an entire plate of fried spinach and the grease starts to accumulate. Not so fun at that point…
