"Not only a destination near the mall, Rasika is one of D.C.’s best restaurants, period. James Beard Foundation Award-winning chef Vikram Sunderam attracts regulars to the fine dining Indian restaurant with dishes such as his memorable palak chat, and keeps them there to sample thoughtful preparations of eggplant, biryani, and crab pepper masala. The same restaurant group’s fast-casual Bindaas also has a location in Foggy Bottom not too far from the mall." - Missy Frederick, Tierney Plumb
