Mick Jagger Refueled at Rasika West End After Rocking D.C.

Satisfied customer

A day after putting on a well-received show at FedEx Field outside of D.C. last week, ageless Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger visited Rasika West End for dinner. According to a representative for the restaurant, he stayed for about two hours and ate with seven other guests on the Fourth of July. Jagger, 75, underwent heart valve surgery a few months ago, but with the vitality he’s shown at his shows, it’s easy to imagine he went straight for the spicy vindaloo. Restaurateur Ashok Bajaj shared a picture of the singer with group executive chef Vikram Sunderam.

Plea to the president
