DC Dosa — Restaurant in Washington

Visiting DC for the weekend from New Jersey was so happy to stumble upon this little gem!! It is inside the bustling Union Market that offers literally a variety of options for dining. Granted I walked around a few times before I finally settled on this restaurant and it was only because for the price and the amount of food this was absolutely worthwhile!

So I ordered the special dosa, the spinach, and garlic spread for my build my own dosa option. The filling I chose two, the eggplant and sweet potatoes with curried potatoes, alongside the mint and mango chutneys and a cup of Sambal. All of this came to about $14 bucks and WOW it was a ton of food. The DOSA with all of the filing had to weigh about 2 lbs! it was so much food.

The dosa was airy and delicious and quite flavorful. The fillings were both delicious but definitely next time I plan of diversifying my options so that I don't end up with double starch filings and it was just way too much starch. Next time I would get the cauliflower blend with either of the options I had this past time. So both were honestly super flavorful and delicious and I don't have any regrets just that it was very filling. The mint chutney has a great kick with it and was fantastic. Sambal had a great kick as well and honestly. I just started to mishmash everything and cross dip and WOW it is so good.

I'm from NJ and there are tons of DOSA options and trust me this is definitely one of the better ones. Definitely recommend and...

Stopped by Union Market to meet few of our folks while visiting DC and was recommended to try this Americanized South Indian specialty - Dosa!

The Union Market is one super busy joint that includes multiple restaurants and eateries and DC Dosa is one among them. People start working on your dosa right after you pick your combination of items that needs to go into your dosa, just like what people do at the Chipotles or the Subways.

The dosa making process is not new to south Indians, but looking at it in an American restaurant was enchanting. We ordered the Mung lentil dosa with roasted seasonal vegetables and the cilantro sesame chutney.

The dosa is good enough for two people to share as there is so much of filling that goes into the dosa that makes one person feel full easily.

The dosa was delicious but I rate this place a star less for the huge filling that’s atypical for the “Masala dosas” that you find in an Indian household or a restaurant and for being higher on the...

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...
