Great family owned business. Both parents and kids work very hard and proudly. Food is super fresh with a new twist (Taco dosa) is a must try. Gulab Jamuns are out of this world. Super soft, just the right amount of sweetness and slight taste of white coconut shreds - Yum!! read more

THERE IS FINALLY A GOOD DOSA PLACE IN DC!!!!! I am so excited. This little spot has traditional dosas, and they're delicious. They're not the super trendy, mixed with gluten, weirdly soft, and utterly overdone hip dosas that cost $15 per order. Instead they feel authentic and legit - which means they're gluten free and vegan too! The sambar is also great. The owner and staff are all super friendly and helpful and fun to chat with. I think I'm in love. (BTW - I hate Yelp. This spot actually has more than 30 reviews that are 5 stars, but Yelp won't post them to their profile unless the restaurant agrees to pay $500 a month. This little shop is owned by south Asian folks who already put down money to open their restaurant and can't afford the monthly fee. This place has high reviews so please keep posting reviews to support their business!). read more

Yum! My frIend and I came here for dinner on a Saturday night and had a satisfying meal. I ordered the Paneer Makani (with rice) which was delicious and really hit the spot on a cold winter evening. I even had a little bit leftover to take home for a snack. My friend got the "potato pastry" (samosas) and the "potato filled rice crepe" (dosa). The dosa was ENORMOUS, and both the dosas and samosas came with a variety of delicious dipping sauces. My only complaint - I wish they had reusable plates and utensils if you're dining in (which we did) to cut down on single-use disposables! read more

As of this writing, Vegz has 65 reviews and a perfect 5 star rating. How can any self-respecting yelper ignore that for long? Thankfully, they live up to the hype. I don't know what they're like in normal times, but during these covid times, they are rocking take out and delivery as good as anyone. We had our meal delivered straight to our door with no contact involved. It's an all veggie Indian menu with a wide variety of affordable options. Everything was top notch, so just pick whatever looks good, and you'll be happy. My favorite was the fried rice. The rice is tinged red with some kind of slightly spicy sauce, and it was delicious. It had flavor I've never tasted in a fried rice before. The lentils, coconut broccoli, and crispy spinach were other standouts. This is definitely going into the regular rotation because the flavors are phenomenal. read more

Being Indian myself, I often crave Indian food near me in the District. But when I say Indian food, I don't mean some fancy, modern take that Punjab Grill and Rasika have to offer (but they're delicious still). I mean, an affordable home cooked meal that reminds me of my moms Sunday night meals. Enter Vegz: a vegetarian/vegan affordable Indian joint! Gobi Manchurian: 7/10 - tastes delicious, but a tad soggy and not crisp enough Samosas: 10/10 you get two per order and these were *amazing* Mysore Masala Dosa: 10/10 the powder inside the dosa was delicious and the masala (potato curry) was perfect. Sambar: 8/10 was a bit too dense for me Chutney: was looking forward to a coconut chutney with my dosa, I think one of them was supposed to coconut? Unclear - not enough coconut! Overall: would definitely recommend and will be going back! So happy I found this place so close to home! read more

Highly recommend this hidden gem for delicious authentic Indian food. I've had two different kinds of dosas and the stir fried okra and have been impressed by each. The okra in particular stood out. Vegz also represents a great value, with large portions of delicious food for $10-13 per meal. Vegz appears to be a small family business worthy of your support. Even as a meat eater, i can attest that you won't be disappointed with your visit! read more

VEGZ - Dosa and Okra- dosa comes with multiple sauces in the side - Vegetarian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I was playing tennis on the courts across from VEGZ and my friend and I kept saying to each other that it smelled like delicious Indian food. After the game I realized VEGZ was across the street. It's a small basement level restaurant with about 9 tables. It is sit down but very casual. The server was lovely and attentive and the menu includes dishes from all over India. I had a dosa which was tasty. Look forward to going back sometime. read more

Highly recommend (I'm a biased vegetarian). I stumbled upon this small, vegetarian / vegan (friendly) restaurant in Adams Morgan. I've been "vegetarian" for years. The quotes are because I can't say how many times I've accidentally eaten meat through a soup base, hidden lard, or food prepared on non-veg griddled or fried in communal fryers. It is a breath of fresh air to walk into a restaurant and know I can have ANYTHING on the menu without fear. I had lentils and a coconut juice. The flavors were balanced & subtle. I like spice and could have pumped up the volume 2x. That said, the flavors that were there were great and probably adequate for most causal consumers. As I try more meals, I'll update.

VEGZ - Garlic lentils and coconut juice - Vegetarian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Ordered delivery twice through Uber. Dosa, idli and chole were good. So was the papdi chat the first time around. The batura that came with the chole was inedible. It was fried in rancid oil and too greasy. We skipped ordering the batura second time around and instead ordered a naan and roti. What we received was a pita bread and tortilla. I kid you not. They purchased the Pita and Tortilla at a grocery store and sold them at $2.99 a pop. The crispy stuff in papdi chat tasted rancid as well. They need to replace the oil they use on a regular basis. My 2 cents: don't order anything fried in oil and make sure you ask them before ordering that they will send you a naan and roti not pita and tortilla read more

Indian food is very vegetarian friendly at baseline, but I love that VEGZ is purposefully vegetarian and vegan friendly. I'm not actually vegetarian or vegan, but am trying to eat fewer meat-forward meals these days. While visiting DC I had walked by VEGZ a couple times on the way to see friends and the menu caught my eye. Imagine my surprise and delight when one of those friends suggested we get takeout from VEGZ for dinner! There is soooo much to choose from here and we got a truly excessive spread, including naan, paratha, saag potato, chili paneer, paneer makhani, dal tadka, and baingan bhartha. Everything was flavorful but not same-y, rich but not overwhelmingly so, and I could not stop shoving food into my mouth. My favorites were the paneer makhani (excellent paneer in a creamy sauce), the baingan bhartha (soft smoky eggplant dish), and the dal tadka. If I lived in DC I'd be here waaaay too often. From what my friends tell me, though, VEGZ is owned by people for whom food and specifically vegetarian Indian food is a personal passion, AND they opened during COVID. So please go support! Your taste buds will thank you. read more

I'm doing this review a little late because I ate here like a month ago but I I still thought it was worth leaving a review because this place exceeded my expectations! I can't even remember exactly what I got but I do remember that everything I got it was delicious!! All their dishes are unique to their own flavor profile but they harmonize together well. They have sauces galore so you can mix and match your tastes if you so desire. It seems like its family owned so that's a bonus being able to support a small local business! read more

My family and I LOVE this spot!! The dosas are absolutely delicious. We were looking for a dosa spot that would remind us of the yummy dosas we would eat in Chennai. This place hits the mark - all of their dosas are out of this world. We are also sampled their idlis and vadas -- super yummy! The owners are very friendly and warm, and Rocky is a star waiter. We will be coming back again and again and again!!! read more

VEGZ - Masala dosa....how could you ever say no to this?? - Vegetarian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

On my quick trip to Washington DC, was looking for veg only restaurant and had to give VEGZ a try walking almost 25 minutes. It was all worth the exploration !!! Ambience - cool, open kitchen - looks clean and good, food options plenty, taste excellent and courteous staff adds to the experience I recommend this place read more

VEGZ - Amazing Veggie Indian restaurant - Vegetarian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Went to have brunch - I had cursorily looked at the rating and I expected to be more of a proper sit down which it is not! It is quite a small place with limited seating. Ordered spinach chat, taco dosa and paneer uttappam. Spinach chat was good with the right amount of tanginess and spice from the sauce. Paneer uttappam was well cooked and definitely didn't feel like oil heavy ( which is great). The taco masala dosa was a set of 3 dosas with three different stuffings in each- one was taco masala flavored potato filling; the other was green salad and cucumber filling and their third was spinach stuffed. All of the dosas tasted great and were less oily for sure. The accompaniments ( Sambhar and chutney was pretty solid too) I do feel the taco masala dosa while food doesn't warrant the 14.99 price point for 3 individual dosas. I would probably rate them more of a. 41/2 star read more

I got take out, but this is not my first time. I love their dosas, South Indian food when most Indian places have North Indian food. This time I also got palak paneer, and it was honestly fantastic. That is what inspired me to write this review. Highly recommend. read more

This is my FAVORITE South Indian restaurant in the district. I have tried at least half of their menu- still working my way through it as it is HUGE- and they can do no wrong. The masala dosa is dream worthy, soooo crispy, flavorful perfectly cooked and spicy potatoes, the papdi chat is probably one of my favorite foods in the world, the baingan bharta and saag chana are so rich and flavorful meat eaters wont realize they're veg/vegan. Seriously, THE BEST!!! Eat this now! read more

Home cooked taste!! I've been traveling to India since 1989 and lived there as well for a while. I have had my share of great Indian food. The Indian food in DC has been disappointing. However VEGZ offers authentic homemade taste. The dal makhani is the best I've had in 10 years in DC. Also the dosas are on point! Delicious!! read more

I haven't written a review in years, but this place is *awesome*. We've ordered delivery--via third-party apps, as unfortunately they don't seem to have their own delivery setup--twice in the last two weeks, and both times have been entirely impressed. There's some kind of magic combination of flavor here that makes every dish sing. Whatever that unholy thing is that Doritos have that keeps you coming back for more? It's trying to mimic what's here. We've tried the cauliflower dosa, the mysore masala dosa, and the regular masala dosa--I was racking my brain to figure out what the latter reminded me of, until I realized it was lighting up the pleasure center in my brain devoted to knishes. (Who knew that even still existed?) All the dosas come with a side of sambar, which was a nice surprise. We've also tried the palak chaat and the gobi matar. Both were delicious, but the dosas are definitely the star of the show here. read more

Had food at VEGZ when I visited Washington DC. Menu is limited but fresh and authentic tasting food. Service is clean, fast and good. Ambiance is upscale. read more

Some of the best Indian food I've had in the DC area. I'm visited a number of South Indian veg places in the suburbs (Ashburn/Chantilly/Herndon) but this honestly was the best dosa I've had in the DMV. Place is small, yes - and that's the only real downside. The service was friendly, and I look forward to trying some other items next time. read more

Excellent South Indian food. Really enjoy the dosas. I also quite like the samosa chaat. Not as much of a fan of their spinach chaat though.

Some of the best, most flavorful Indian food I've ever had in the US. The service is fast and polite, and the prices are more than reasonable by DC standards. Any reviews about this place not living up to the "hype" surrounding it should be disregarded, as they're clearly written by self-righteous "foodies". This is not a hype restaurant, but a place where many, many people who actually live in DC trust and know to be of superior quality. If every restaurant abided by the same standards as VEGZ we would be living in a much better world. read more

Extremely great food, fun atmosphere, staff seemed a bit young though. All the food was very flavorful and yummy

Very tasty vegetarian/vegan food. His friendly staff and reasonably quick service. Samosa Chaat is my favorite.

A little corner at Adam's Morgan that you won't regret going in. The white interior makes you feel like you entered into a ship cabin and gives you a different vibe. A good one. What about the food ? Yes yes yes! It was amazing. Their menu is so small and easy to understand. I had a potato filled rice creepe (Dosa) and it was amazing. The sauces is fresh and so is the Sambar that is served with the dosa. If you're a vegan or vegetarian this place is will definitely be your favorite. DEFINITELY going back. read more

This place lived up to the 5 star reviews on Yelp! My parents, husband and I came here to dinner. My mom absolutely loves dosas, and she said these were really great. We got the mysore and masala dosas, both were great, but I like the mysore one best. We also got the samosa chaat, gobi manchurian, and gulab jaman, all were fantastic! The place is small, but staff, service and food were absolutely worth the trip out to visit! read more

Wow! Some truly delicious and affordable Indian food in the DMV! We ordered takeout and the ordering and pickup processes were both easy and straightforward. We ordered a few variety of dosa (paneer, masala, etc) and opted to have the filling separate from the dosa, which was absolutely the right call so it wouldn't be soggy. The rice and the chutneys were perfect accompaniments. We certainly will get takeout again and I look forward to eating in sometime soon too. read more

Best Dosa I have had in a long time! I always recommend VEGZ to people who want to try authentic Indian food. The sambar is to die for!

As a die-hard red meat lover... this is one of my favorite places to order from! As childish as it is, I can still be a bit hesitant when a meal is vegetarian because I have to fight the sensation that it isn't "complete." NOT the case with this place! The food is amazing and is so filling that it lasts for several meals. I love spicy foods, but I want to highlight that there are so many other rich flavors going on for people who don't. Also, my boyfriend grew up in India and it's his absolute favorite in DC, in case you need more convincing. read more

The food is very delicious and flavorful. I will be sure to return very soon. And the staff is very nice.

One of the only places I've found close to DC that knows how to a Dosa and classic southern Indian food well. Reminds me of my moms cooking on the weekend. It's a basement with limited seating, so recommend coming on off times and can be a bit hard to plan a time to go. Service was easy and fast - great for a quick bite. read more

Dosa here are very good, other dishes are bland or weirdly spiced - one tasted oddly like cinnamon, when it definitely should not. Stick to the South Indian dishes and you'll do well. read more

One of my favorite Indian spots! The food is excellent and super authentic. My top recommendations would be gobi manchurian and chili paneer

Food was amazing. We ordered samosa chat, masala dosas, dal fry/tadka, Naan. Everything was so so delicious.

This is a nice place for pure veggies... Always the best Wayfood, fresh, well prepared, and so tasty that you never even notice your whole meal is vegetarian! Charming and clean place. Our favorite. Will come back soon... read more

Ordered samosas and Aloo Gobi for carryout. I do not order much from Vegz, but the food has been excellent every time I have ordered from them. I will continue to support Vegz. read more

Cozy little place. Came here because of the Yelp rating. However, food tasted average, nothing worth making a special trip to experience.

Great food & service! Everything we had was delicious- puri chole, masala dosa & samosas. The best were the rasmalai & gulabjamun. Please try them ! The most authentic ones I've eaten in the US - soft, full of taste, and amazingly fresh. Will order many times from here. read more

Delicious! Fast, friendly service. If you are looking for quality Indian / vegetarian food in AdMo, this is a great option. I get the paneer makhani, and I am always pleased. The owners/workers are personable! During Covid, they have a very clean and efficient way of ordering. I'm glad that this establishment is so close to my house! read more

Hidden gem in Adam's Morgan. The dosas are spectacular and the juices is a nice touch
