Cheap Eats 2018: Rasa

Cheap Eats 2018: Rasa
Photograph by Rey Lopez.

It’s tough to get excited about bowls. So often they start out exciting and wind up tasting one-note. A stunning exception: the Indian concoctions at this Navy Yard spot, dreamed up by Sahil Rahman and Rahul Vi-nod, whose dads own Indique, and served in a date-worthy set-ting. We’re partial to set combos such as the Aloo Need Is Love, with sweet potato, pickled radish, and tamarind-ginger chutney (among other things) on a bed of lemon rice. Also good: Samosas; “Tikka Chance on Me” bowl (with chicken tikka); Indian yogurt.
