Favorite Indian Food!! - Edit
This place always impresses me. Every thing I’ve gotten from here is super good. I even chose to have my anniversary date night meal as takeout from here that’s how much I love their food. Cannot go wrong with this place it’s my favorite indian food i’ve had hands down

Disappointing. - Edit
They served food in styrofoam plates and water in plastic cups. The gobi manchurian has small shreds of cauliflower instead of big florets, and it was drowning in oil. The wada was oily but decent. The idli, chutneys, and sambar were good. But again, food and whole experience was degraded by the environmentally unfriendly disposable plates, cups, and cutlery.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Some food was good, Vegan dessert option
Cons: Plastic cups and cutlery, foam plates, Gobi manchurian was terrible, No vegan lassi or dahi puri. Nothing innovative.

A Gem - Edit
Can’t believe I’ve been to DC so many times and haven’t tried this place. Delicious tasting dosas with tasty sauce (beware the light colored was packs heat). I ordered the masala dosa and it was perfect!

Delicious dosas! - Edit
A little hole-in-the-wall restaurant with very friendly staff, delicious dosas, samosas, and spinach chaat, and very generous portions! Their spicy coconut curry dosa is fire and their Gobi Manchurian cauliflower is also very spicy and so flavorful - it's almost a little too much (I like to share). I love that all their sauces are vegan too! A favorite for Indian food in the area.

Authentic and incredibly tasty Indian food - Edit
Fluffy Chapatis, perfectly mashed spinach in the gravies and in the spinach rice, and vegan naan. The chef came out to personally speak with us, to understood our requirements to make food vegan, and was able to substitute sides on request. Everyone was extremely friendly.

The Gobi dosa and Chilli Paneer are great. The Mysore Masala Dosa seemed to have a little more asafoetida than required.

So delicious - Edit
Ordered via grubhub and it did not disappoint. The dosa is fantastic and comes with dipping sauces. Had a black lentil curry which was really flavoursome as well as a chickpea and potato one which was delicious. There's so much choice here that it was hard to pick - I can't wait to order from here again!
Read morePros: Loads of choice, Vegan and gluten free options marked on menu, Delicious

Great food and service - Edit
We ordered hummus & pita, black lentils, garbanzo beans, eggplant, green savory dosa, and chapati bread. The hummus, black lentils, and dosa were my favorites but it was all delicious. We ordered for carry out and forgot to check our order before leaving. The cashier realized we forgot something and sprinted down the street and around to corner to catch up to us and give it to us- excellent customer service!

Great cheap Indian food - Edit
Don't walk by this little basement hole in the wall. The food is amazing, authentic, and reasonably priced. They menu very sweetly attempts to use English, for instance the masala dosa is called "Indian crepes". The vast majority of dishes are vegan with a few vegetarian options like saag paneer (spinach & cheese) thrown in.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options and zero meat dishes
Cons: Closed in the afternoon

Very veg - Edit
Indian food is good, but it's better when you know you can eat it. This place is very friendly to your vegan needs, as it is a vegetarian place.
Read moreThe things to order here though, in my opinion, are the dosas, aka "Indian crepes" on the menu. I am not sure why they don't just say dosas, maybe to be more hipster or trendy for Adams Morgan? Who knows. All I know is they are good, really good. Rice flour thin pancake like savory goodness with soup/ sambar and chutney (coconut) - heavenly! Go for the green one, as it gives you a different twist on traditional onion, plain or potato dosas.
They have green veggies here too, like palak and broccoli. There are also your traditional takes on lentils (yellow and black) and biryani. The prices are decent and portions are good. It's not an excessive amount of food, but just right. The prices are decent, too, so you won't feel like you're broke for take out or eating in at this casual place.
They label what is vegan and can easily accommodate your other needs, like gluten free diets. Love this place!
Pros: Dosas without gluten, Vegan friendly

Vegan friendly - Edit
Me and my husband went here after we settled into our hotel. We found it through HappyCow and learned that the owner just opened it 6 weeks ago!! So happy we found it because we were so hungry after our train ride. I ate the potato-filled Indian crepe (dosa) on the menu and my hubby got the spicy coconut curry one. Both were so delicious!! The server guaranteed that everything was vegan, even the dipping sauces. This made me happy because I’ve been to other places where there wasn’t any. Lots of vegan options. And I personally recommend the spicy coconut curry dosa. It wasn’t too spicy either. Really great service and 100% vegan friendly. Will definitely go there again.

Delicious - Edit
I ordered take out of their potato rice crapes, chilli paneer, okra and naan. Food was very delicious and everyone enjoyed all the flavors.
Read moreVery friendly staff. I met the chef and the guy at the register, they were very helpful. My family prefers to eat at all vegetarian places, so we were very happy to know that the chef and his family have also been vegetarians. We will definitely go back. Next time I’m going try their lunch combo, which looked very inviting.
The only con was that they use all plastic takeout containers and utensils. Although I prefer compostable ones, this is the case with most restaurants.
Pros: Friendly and very helpful staff , Good size portions, Authentic flavors, Clean place
Cons: Plastic takeout containers

Update: we revisited this place a couple of time. We wish that they could be more hygienic.
