Rasika West End
Sterling Distinguished
Rasika West End is the 2012 outpost of one of Washington D.C.'s most celebrated Indian restaurants, bringing the acclaimed Penn Quarter original's modern Indian kitchen to the city's West End neighbourhood.
Rasika's Penn Quarter original, which opened in 2005, established itself as a benchmark for contemporary Indian cooking in the American capital; the West End location, launched in 2012, extended that reputation to a second address at 1190 New Hampshire Avenue NW.
