    • FSL ★★★★★ Rashko does a beautiful job of bringing Middle Eastern ambiance to life, especially with the carpeted floor seating, it’s a lovely, immersive touch that adds real character to the space. The food was yummy, and the drinks were a real highlight for me, especially the mint drink. That said, I do have a couple suggestions that would greatly improve the overall experience. First is food handling. While I’m sure the staff are experienced professionals, the way food is handled in front of guests really matters. Seeing bare-hand contact, buzzing flies, and dishes being crossed and passed over already served food doesn’t create the most appetizing impression, even if the food tastes great. Second is the ergonomics of the carpeted seating. I genuinely love the concept, but a few adjustments would go a long way, some pillows for back support and a slightly elevated surface for the food would make it much more comfortable. This would help with posture and also prevent food from being positioned right at foot level. Overall, Rashko has great potential with its concept, atmosphere, flavors, and drinks. With a bit more attention to detail, it could be an even better experience.
