    Tofu Dosa
    Jessica H.

    The only place I know that has good, cheap dosa. Has water at your convenience as well. Vibes are always popping here. Super yummy, definitely wanna try more flavors on here! Service is fast, cashier friendly and helpful for recommendations.

    Rava Onion Paneer Dosa

    I finally went to Amma Kitchen after my family had been raving about it for years. I had some Rava Onion Paneer Dosa, Rava Onion Masala Dosa, Sambhar, Rasam, chutneys, and a Mango Lassi - a nice and full meal! Overall, Amma was solid! It gave me the crispy dosa with spicy sambhar/rasam fixing I was looking for. However there are definitely better South Indian restaurant options in NOVA. The rava dosa was extremely crispy and flavorful but the paneer filling tasted a little plain. It could've used more masala and tikka flavors. There was also barely any paneer or potato filling. The sambhar was okay, nothing special. The rasam quantity was amazing but it was extremely oily and lacked next-level flavors. Again it did the job on a cold rainy day!

    We checked this place when we were in DC for the Cherry blossoms. We did a pickup order for our dinner and it didn't take a lot of time for the food to be ready by the time we arrived at the restaurant. The food quality was very good and the packaging was excellent. Saw quite a number of people enjoying their dinner and also an equal number of people waiting to get their order picked up. Wish the interior cleanliness of the place matched what was offered on the outside.

    Poor customer service and subpar food. Balaji Cafe - which isn't that good either - is basically their twin, but I would still go with Balaji because of their slightly better customer service. Nonetheless, find an alternative to this place if you're craving Dosas. As a big Dosa lover, I came here having read somewhat positive reviews on Yelp; however to my dismay, I was thoroughly disappointed. I ordered the Rava Masala Dosa and it wasn't hot nor really warm at all; the Dosa itself was like papadum - paper crisp and thin with no real flavor or texture; the masala-potatoes felt like it was left out in the open, too. When I asked if they could heat it up, they seemed surprised. After they gave me new potatoes which was warmer, I was still very disappointed with their Dosa and literally left it aside. Having shared this with the lady at the front, I asked if I can order something else. I asked when their samosa was made but she said it was made 4 hours ago. 4 hours ago!? Talk about freshness. To my amazement, I asked which other menu options were fresh and hot. After she recommended the Cholé Bature, I decided to order that; however she still made me pay for it (when I left my Rava Masala Dosa). Seeing that she was clearly not interested in accommodating me nor listening to my concerns, I ordered, ate and left. The Cholé Bature was decent by the way. This place seems to mainly cater to those who are loyal customer and not for new customers. If you are debating where to get Dosa, this is not the place - not for the Dosa but mainly for the very poor customer service. This place deserves two stars

(Really, when I checked in on Swarm, it had been 13 years since my last visit. Now we're going every month or so.) While I noticed some updating--there's more wood paneling, and the menu is sleeker, for lack of a better word--the restaurant still has a warm, friendly vibe with sunflower imagery throughout. The menu is a twist on Asian food, with plenty of analogues, chunks of soy and/or wheat protein, and some vegetables. It's not all vegan--a few dishes have dairy and/or honey, and I suspect one of the noodle dishes uses egg noodles--but those items are clearly marked. We were last there on Thanksgiving and tried a few new things. The veggie kabob reminded me a bit of the kabob at the late, lamented Harmony Cafe in Georgetown. Sure, I'll get that again. I'm not so sure about the mushroom dish. I do love mushrooms, but perhaps this isn't the way to go about it. On prior visits, we've gone with old familiars. The fried "chicken" appetizer (chunks of soy protein and mushrooms fried and served with a spicy ketchup) are a classic. I am still trying to find my go-to entree. Maybe the Crispy Happiness (chunks of soy protein and shredded vegetables cooked mild)? It's a bit far from DC, but it is worth the trip.

I found this place at the base of a mixed use development. It had garage parking nearby. My chickpeas were spicy as ordered, and came with two nicely puffed breads, and an array of pickled onions with a fried chili pepper. It was a proper rendition of the dish. Someone else ordered the same thing and asked for extra salt to dump on the chickpeas, which just baffled me. The flavor was ample. I also ordered a chai, and while they call it a cutting chai (which I understand to mean cut in half in size), it was a decent amount and a nuanced mix of spices. The owner was a little odd and was making calls to various tables and being kind of pushy such that it made one little girl uncomfortable to the point where her party complained about it, which was acknowledged by staff. I would advise them to put the customer's well-being first, but neither I nor the offended parties would seem to have any compunctions about coming back for the food.
