    We enjoyed dining at Aracosia on Valentines Day. Our only concern was we ordered cocktails that didn’t arrive before our food.The server reported the bar was very busy. We cancelled the cocktail order and requested a glass of wine to have with dinner. The server delivered it promptly.

    There was a slight delay with seating the reservations. Based on overhearing the communication between the hostess and other staff, it seemed to be largely due to the inexperience of the waiting staff. However, I attribute most of it due to the holiday, Valentine’s Day. It Can feel a little tight as they’ve maximized the use of all available space to seat patrons, so if you get a little claustrophobic, you may want to consider dining at a time that isn’t busy. Overall great value and great experience, especially for the Washington DC area. The only recommendation I would make to Rumi’s Kitchen would be to broaden your selection of wines by the glass. At the price point of your bottles of wine, it makes it a little difficult for some patrons to commit to making the purchase of a bottle.  Thanks for the good time!

    We had a party of six and we dined on a Tuesday night so it was definitely a low-key night where the restaurant was mainly empty so that reflects the ambience rating and the noise level rating… The appetizers were quite good. The entrées were questionable and the hamburger was very bad… The dessert in the service were excellent. Try the Dubai chocolate and the hostess was gracious enough to give my son a complementary birthday cake.
