Join the Rasa Squad.

Who We Are

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 five 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 are excited to bring on talented, creative, upbeat, positive, hardworking and fun-loving people onto our squad. We know that our people are the most important part of our success, and are excited to build the RASA squad and bring incredible people onto our team.

At RASA, our team works hard, plays hard, contributes to our communities, and helps one other achieve our shared goals, and will teach you everything you need to know to be successful. We serve chef-driven, local, seasonal, and healthful food. In food and in life, we don’t believe in toning down the spice. Life in flavor is more fun, so we live life to the fullest, and are looking for squad members who do too.

We firmly believe your job should be something you look forward to and will have a playful, creative, and lively work environment, where you will be regularly interacting with both our guests and fellow squad members.
