    I was excited to try Rasa. They have a similar concept to other restaurants where you order and build your bowl. I ordered online but I didn't select the correct sauce for the tikka bowl. Thankfully the sweet employee gave me a small portion to add to my bowl. My tikka bowl was overall very good! I enjoyed all the flavors. It was a nice location and was ready when I arrived. Rasa is located right next to the Target street entrance facing Jinya. It was easy to find while I was in Mosaic district.

    Ambiance: This place has very beautiful, creative, and aesthetic decor. Service: The staff member who took order was super nice, professional, and made recommendations. Food: The food was flavorful and delicious. Mango lassi (3.5/5 could've been a little more sweet), paneer tikka bowl/BYO (4/5) spicy chili chicken bowl/BYO (4.5/5), garlic naan (3/5 - was soft but some parts were chewy), masala chai cookies (5/5 - absolutely fantastic) masala chai soft serve ice cream (5/5 really good!) I will definitely be coming back for the cookies and to try out additional items.

    Inside ordering and seating area

    Very nice, vibrant decor inside with outdoor seating available. Easy to order menu. You can make a build your own bowl, or opt for the specials on the menu. I did a build your own bowl where you pick your rice or grains, greens or veggie base, add protein, sauce and veggie toppings. Additional dressings and other crunchy toppings available. I went with quinoa/spinach/salad greens as my base. Tikka chicken as the protein. Selected a midly, spicy coconut sauce, and plenty of veggie toppings. The mint-cardamom-lemonade was ok. I mostly tasted overly sweet lemonade. Reasonable prices. Everything was very fresh and full of delish flavors. Service was fine. I would equate this place to Chipotle, however with Indian infused flavors instead of Mexican. Highly recommend.

    I was excited to try this place after looking at all the great reviews. I was a bit disappointed as my chicken bowl was overly saucy and the server behind the counter wasn't the friendliest. It didn't help that the front window was fully open on what my friends and I thought was a chilly day.

    So many options & combos. I really enjoyed the chicken tikka with the South Indian noodles, spinach, and a bunch of other toppings & sauces. I feel like I could eat here everyday for a month and have a different bowl every time. Indoor & outdoor seating. It was a nice night so the windows were open and it made for a nice setting. There are also 4 swings inside which is fun! If you're a first timer, would recommend looking at the menu & options in advance. It's hard to know what's what & there are so many options for toppings & sauces! Not sure if this is typical, but there was only 1 person working the whole line + cash register. She did a great job, but it was slower overall. Putting this on my list for future fast casual go to!

    Beautiful decor

    This review is long overdue. I have been here soooo many times and have yet to encounter an issue with this place. For starters, I love the bright welcoming decor! My kids are obsessed with the swing chairs so that is a nice plus. Customer service is always SUPERB! Props to all the wonderfully friendly staff working here. I ate here today with my family after a few months of not stopping by. I was a little sad that the staff from before wasn't around but the "new (to me)" guys were amazing too! Very knowledgeable, friendly and patient (shout out to Gabriel, and couldn't get the name of the other 2 that helped us). It was the first visit from some family members from my party and all the staff was super helpful in explaining them the menu and patiently answering their questions so kudos to them all! The place is always spotless, which is also very nice. Now on to the food, I always get the same: noodles for the base, chicken tikka, garlic tomato sauce, spicy chickpeas, and a few of their yummy toppings. I love the concept of building your own bowl. And for a fast casual format, the food is amazing! Great flavors, fresh tasting, very nice portion sizes (I always end up with leftovers) and a good variety of options! A lot of vegetarian options too which is nice. The mango lassi and chai soft serve are divine to finish off the wonderful meal! Always a pleasure dining here! I'm sure I'll be back soon.

    Harvest Chicken Bowl with La Croix
    Jon T.

    Right next to the giant Target in Mosaic District, it was a no brainer that I had to try it out! This place has an outdoor dining section so you can watch across the street where the open field was and inside had giant tables and swinging chairs to relax in. This place is very aesthetically pleasing if you like pastel tones and even better since it's clean. Like any fast-casual chain, you can build your own bowl and pick what ingredients you want. I was lazy so I opted for the Harvest Chicken Bowl and a can of La Croix. The Harvest Chicken Bowl had vegetables, lemon tumeric rice, chicken tikka, tomato garlic sauce, cucumber, pickled onions, cumin yogurt, coriander chili and roasted lentils. There's a lot of ingredients here and they all add to the overall flavor of the dish. Surprisingly this had a kick to it and it wasn't spicy enough for me but my nose was running for a bit after eating. The bowl was filling and I'd even say that everything complimented each other even more. I made a great choice and I'd get it again. Would I come here again? Absolutely. There's no doubt that I can't say no to Fast-Casual Indian food, I really think it's overlooked.

    Amviance: sooo cute (just look at the photo). Super stylish and clean. Service: great - I asked our server her honest opinion about the spiciness levels of some of the food, and she gave it to me straight lol - some of it is super spicy and I'm glad I went with a milder option!! Service was also generally friendly and fast. Food: delicious!!! After my partner and I ate it, we were already excited to return. Loved the quality of the food, the flavor, and the portion sizes too.

    I got the tikka a chance on me. I thought the food was pretty good. The flavors were really good in it. However, the bowl was not super full as you can see in pic! The service was not super good either. The service is really fast. They didn't seem like they wanted to answer any questions about any other products or anything so that was a little offputting. I would come back here though. I thought it was really good as a bowl I got was good so I'll try more. The place is a casual restaurant, next to several other casual restaurants in mosaic district.

    Is the chicken dark meat or white meat?

    It looked like white meat to me.

We kicked things off with the Shakshuka appetizer platter, featuring four flavorful dishes: Acili Ezme, Haydari, Hummus, and Baba Ghanoush. Each one brought its own unique character, and every bite was packed with bold, authentic flavor. From the rich and satisfying Royal Laghman to the perfectly prepared Plov, every dish was outstanding and beautifully crafted. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, making the entire experience even better. If you're looking for Uyghur and Turkish food this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended.

It made such a great impression that we decided to visit the restaurant in person, and the experience was just as fantastic. I ordered the manta, which are a bit larger than traditional Turkish dumplings, and they were incredibly delicious--I couldn't stop eating them. My husband had the Mongolian beef and loved every bite. And whatever you do, don't leave without trying the honey cake--it's the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Highly recommend!

The space itself was cozy, and the wall decor made it feel warm and comfortable, perfect for a nice dinner with friends or family. The lamb skewers were so flavorful with generously-sized chunks of lamb on the skewer. I was so curious about the noodles and I'm glad we got the chance to try the gambian soman. You can tell the noodles were hand-pulled, they were so bouncy and absorbed the flavor of the meat (we got lamb) and the bell peppers so well. For dessert, we had the honey cake, which was also amazing. The cake layers were a little crumbly which complimented the cream layers in between, and the sweetness was perfectly, which I usually am cautious about when it comes to food sweetened with honey. I did end up coming back two days in a row because I was craving the lamb lol

I have been to almost all the Ughyur food spots in the DMV and Eerkin is simply my favorite for several reasons. The food is served piping hot. Like pipe down hot or whatever you say... and it is darn delicious. This time around I went there on a date and even though the date went horribly wrong because the girl was telling me if I want to be with her I have to stop wearing shorts but as soon as I took a bike out of this Thawa Lamb Shank her voice became mute and all I could hear was the storm caused by the flavors in my mouth. Everything here tastes amazing, from the soft and chewy hand pulled noodles to the dumplings and the pilaf. I love this place. 5/5 I won't mind having more bad dates here.
