RASA is an Indian Fast Casual restaurant born and bred here in the DMV.
We were founded by two local natives, Rahul Vinod and Sahil Rahman, who started RASA with the vision of opening minds through new flavors and fostering cultural connection through food. We opened up our first location in late 2017, and since then have grown to a family of three restaurants across the region. We’ve been fortunate to build a strong, loyal community of fans and supporters along the way.
Since opening, RASA has received critical accolades from local, regional, and national media outlets and topped best-of lists including receiving the Eater Young Guns Award, StarChefs Best Concept Mid-Atlantic, and being named Best New Restaurant and Best Fast Casual by Washington City Paper. The brand has also been featured on the cover of QSR Magazine’s annual 40/40 list, the Washington Post’s Fall Dining Guide, and Washingtonian’s Top 100 Cheap Eats.
We just closed on a big round of funding that will allow us to consciously and aggressively grow our brands impact and footprint in the area. To that end, we are looking for passionate, kind, and creative folks to join our squad and help us grow the brand and build something big, together.
