It has declined since opening but it still pretty good.  The food here has real taste, much as you might find in India.  Nice d\u00e9cor.  Many fine touches in the cooking.  The best dish is the spinach (somewhat fried or frittered), with corn; better than it sounds.  The way to go here is to order starters, chats, appetizers, etc., and avoid the good but less innovative main courses.  Good okra, very good cauliflower and I very much like the black lentils.  Going all-vegetarian here is not a mistake.  Good prawns.  Overall a strong entry into Washington\u2019s dining scene.<\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rasika, web site (Flash), 633 D Street NW, near MCI Center, Washington, DC, 202-637-1222 (Metro Trip Planner &#8211; opens in new window) [Washingtonian | WaPo | food-plan | The Hill | Don Rockwell | Yelp | Gayot] Right now this &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/rasika\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,7,16,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chinatownverizon-center","category-dc","category-indian","category-the-best"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=592"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1005,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592\/revisions\/1005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
