Dc Dosa

First time trying this, if you've never had a dosa the best way I can describe it is that it's a crepe like pancake but instead of sweet its like Mediterranean flavors. Interesting that it was Veggie but flavorful. I was wishing there was meat to it but I'm not sure if this kind of food usually has strong meat flavors. But overall decent, huge portion and had taken it to go. Also I had gone in April, so I'm going based on memory.

I'm not picky about Indian food. But this dosa was 100% WOW 😍 The filling, the chutney, beautiful ✨ It's definitely not traditional, which might explain the reviews? I'm from Chicago and Indian restaurants never disappoint nor wow me, so I wasn't expecting much. And I ate it 30 min later, as take-out! I'm glad I didn't read reviews before ordering. Yes, the dosa isn't paper-thin crispy. It's thicker and soft, like a crepe. But dang delicious and a huge portion for $14. You can choose the batter, filling, AND chutney 😲 🥔Potato filling: nicely textured and seasoned with firm lentils and skin-on potatoes 🥥Chutney: the staff recommended the coconut and onion, and they were both out of this world. The coconut was dark colored, roasted and nutty, very flavorful. Thick like a dressing, not watery and white like coconut chutney I'm used to. Service was quick, staff friendly. I'm very tempted to eat here again before I leave DC

As a born and raised Indian I can tell you that DC Dosa food is superior to any other South Indian food I’ve had in the DC area. Their food is a fresh, creative and delicious take on dosas. Sure, some of their fillings are “non-traditional” dosa fillings but everything hews to Indian spices, veggies and flavors. I haven’t had any misses here since I’ve been coming here for the past few years. To the other cranky reviewers(mostly Indian I’m guessing from their names), expand your horizons and embrace the bursting freshness, goodness and deliciousness of their food
