"In the next six months or so, RASA will be making three times as many chicken “Tikka Chance on Me” bowls. Washingtonian reports that the well-regarded, fast-casual Indian counter in Navy Yard plans to open a second location this winter in Mt. Vernon Triangle (475 K Street NW) and a third next spring near Amazon’s incoming HQ2 headquarters in Crystal City (2200 Crystal Drive, Suite F, Arlington). Partners Sahil Rahman and Rahul Vinod opened RASA in December 2017 with a stated mission to introduce Indian food to an audience that didn’t have a reference point for Goan spiced beef, turmeric ginger shrimp, or lamb kebabs. Over the next year, the pair would win a two-and-a-half-star review from Washington Post critic Tom Sietsema, who gave them bonus points for their attentive service, their “rousing” pumpkin soup, and their insistence on grinding garam masala on-site. Rahman and Vinod also earned one of 18 coveted spots on Eater’s annual list of Young Guns representing the service industry’s top talent under the age of 30." - Gabe Hiatt
