    We ordered Dahi Batata Puri, Masala Dosa, Palak Chaat to shared; everything was so flavorful with just a hint of heat by request!! The service and atmosphere was chill and comfortable, the ceiling decor was gorgeous! I got a Masala Tea to go and it was a cozy nightcap. I can't wait to visit again when I'm in the area.

    Great food. We had chaat, idli, and dosa. Maharajah dosa - has lots of shredded veg inside - beets, carrots, coconuts. Sambar was tasty. Chutney is good. Cute decoration. I heard they cater office parties. We shared by 2 people. Ras malai dessert.

    I love Indian food. I really do. But when it comes to the spice level, I'm baby spice! When we told our server we wanted our dishes to be mild, in fact, super mild if it can be managed. I know our server was going to try to let the chef know that but when she said he likes to make his dishes a little too hot, I knew we were in trouble. And when our dishes arrived, they were indeed too spicy even though our receipt at the end of the night said, "American mild" on it. We started with the samosas. Good but a little too spicy. Garlic Naan - great but too small of a portion! Goat Saag - one of my favorite items to order but too spicy for American mild. Also, this dish is not very common so always happy to find a place that serves it but can't come back if it's too spicy. I did have it again the next day as leftovers at home. It's much more manageable if you eat it cold so that's what I did. Butter chicken - few places that we have visited make this particular dish spicy but this was. Service was good. Plenty of parking. Cute decor. Would love to come back but don't think we can handle all the spice.

    My parents wanted to try this place so we all went on a Monday and it was empty...but I had read all the reviews that said they had amazing food so wasn't scared about the lack of patrons. It's a pretty basic, low-key place and that's fine. Their menu is huge and covers all kinds of Indian food. My mom is an amazing cook so we were all skeptical about the food. We ordered so many things...and they were all amazing! We got samosa chaat, chicken biryani, Chinese Manchurian, Channa batura, paneer Kati roll and chicken Kati roll...wow, we rave about all of them! Our Indian food bar is pretty high and I'm happy to say we all loved their food and will definitely be back! Some of the prices did seem a bit high for the portion size but the food was worth it. Can of Limca for $4 was a bit much

    The interior is really beautiful, and has a great vibe. This was my first experience eating dosa, and it was super crispy and flavorful. The samosa chaat could've had more samosa in it, given the price. The restaurant is connected to a bread store, and it seemed like there was only one man running both cash registers in the middle of the day. It took a while for us to be seated and served.

    Dosa and Chaat is a great tucked away spot in the kentlands. I've been here twice only and the waiter remembered us the second time. The food comes out piping hot and it's very much like Indian street food. I imagine I'm on the streets of India and enjoying fantastic bites as a sit at the table. I like this place for a no frills but delicious food location. I really enjoy this place.

    Cut Mirchi! Deep-fried chili peppers, mmm ... !

    This food is delicious, real mmmMedicine you can eat! They make a great masala dosa, chai, papadam, medhu vadai, hakka noodles (veggie), and so many other things I can't remember them all -- because I've been eating here for years, and getting take-out for years, and finally have completed the newest task: got delivery from them via GrubHub and all options are fantastic! Eating there is really nice -- I like the décor and music ... and the service is very friendly, being both relaxed and speedy. I like the oh-so-pretty fabrics hanging from the ceiling .... They are accommodating, varying the spice level to the taste and need of the eater (customer!). :-D That's very good! Some Indian places will not do this, rending the food inedible for some ... such as my frequent dining partner! So, being able to say something needs to be mild is very important! Overall, not only is this an absolutely excellent place, it is my #1 favourite! Mmm, yummy, good, great, excellent! All-around YAY! :-D Bonus: attached next-door, same-owners 'Hot Breads Bakery and Cafe' has some great desserts, including the terrific-tasting mango lassi ... okay, not sure of the name but it's a small cake-type very yummy-licious thing! I enjoyed the Black Forest cake, as well. I enjoyed all I tried but ... don't remember the names of all the yummy, yummy items! Mmm .... I can't wait to go back! :-D

    Veg Biryani (gf), Butter Chicken (gf), and veg Mixed vegetable Kurma (vg/gf)
    Yoo C.

    We got mixed vegetable Kurma (medium), butter chicken (medium), and vegetable biryani. My favorite was the butter chicken, I found the medium spice to be perfect without it being too spicy and flavorful! Second was the vegetable kurma was bursting in flavor with a good amount of vegetables. I wasn't a fan of the vegetable biryani because I found it bland and just limely but it came with a white sauce that I found myself being able to enjoying it more! I would say it is on the more expensive side but I still enjoyed every taste of it.

    Chetni Pudi Masala Dosa
    Molly K.

    To say I was impressed with Dosa and Chaat is an understatement. I had an amazing experience here. Dosa and Chaat has a fantastic reputation among the vegan community. A large portion of their menu is vegan, and is labeled clearly as vegan. Additionally, they have a dessert case with cake pops, cupcakes, eclairs, tiramisu, and a variety of cake flavors that are all vegan! I enjoyed table service with my friend there for lunch. Our server was so friendly. She has been working there since 2016 and said she is so happy to come to work. Her positivity and personality really shines and contributed to this positive dining experience. I ordered the Chetni Pudi Masala Dosa and was amazed with the portion size. It was my first Dosa so I am not sure what is typical, and it overflowed the plate. There was so much flavor between the potato filling with veggies and the dipping sauces which included a spicy one, a savory veggie broth, and creamy coconut one. I had a very large appetite and I had about 1/3 remaining as a leftover. At only $13 this Dosa was a bargain. I still had room for dessert so I enjoyed a vegan eclair. The eclair had such an airy cream filling, a chocolate frosting that was the right thickness and far from too sweet, and a light pastry that reminded me of a yeast donut. I also bought the butterscotch cake, tiramisu, and Black Forest cake to take home. The winner was the butterscotch cake. It was caramel-like and absolutely melted in your mouth. This flavor was unique for me so this is why it was my favorite. The tiramisu had a great coffee, chocolate, and cream balance. It was exactly what I hoped for. The Black Forest cake was dryer and needed more cherry flavor. It was still a delicious cake, however, since the other two slices blew me away, this one was underwhelming. Overall from service to food this business gets top marks from me. I strongly recommend visiting and trying all their vegan options.

    Samosa (4) (v)
    Cesa B.

    Just be prepared to try everything, including the desserts next door! This is a small spot, but worth the wait. The samosas are huge and so much flavor. We also tried the chickpea appetizer and paneer and it was amazing. For meals we had tikka masala, butter chicken, a curry. We were all very pleased with portion size and taste. Prices are decent for the amount of food, spice level is not overwhelming, and it seems family owned. My only beef...they didn't give me a piece of naan with my meal (it's sold separate). But I dipped my paneer!

    Butter chicken with 5 small pieces of chicken (almost all sauce )

    Ordered the $17 butter chicken entree with a side of garlic naan. First off, the food was delicious. The sauce was spicy and flavorful and the chicken was tender and tasty. The garlic naan was only ok, I've had far better and I prefer when it's crispy instead of soft. My main complaint is the portion size-- it was abysmal. Upon opening it, I thought they must have made a mistake. When paying close to $20 for a meal, I expect to be satisfied at the very least. I'm extremely disappointed by this skimp "meal" as it felt more like a snack. Unfortunately, as much I enjoyed the food, the value was horrible so I will not be ordering from here again. There are plenty of other good Indian places that will give you a generous portion when paying $20+

La Poteria was the perfect midpoint to grab our morning caffeine fix and a bite to eat before we hit the Harpers Ferry hiking trails. The cafe was beautifully decorated with marble tables, a ton of plants, and plenty of couches and cozy armchairs. There was a ton of natural light from the giant windows, but they also had a number of aesthetic hanging lights, some of which were exposed bulbs and others of which were in little wicker baskets. As far as the food and drink goes, I loved their latte. The coffee was rich and not overly acidic, and it was strong enough that you could still appreciate the chocolatey, nutty undertones under the generous helping of steamed milk and foam. I also loved the little heart sprinkle they added in the center of the mug -- such a cute final touch! My friend and I also split two of their savory items, the cheese arepa and spinach and feta empanada. The empanada was a little different than what I was used to, as it was super flaky and buttery, with an almost croissant or puff pastry-like dough. It was delicious and the savory feta went wonderfully with the spinach and the slightly peppery mayo-based sauce they served it with. The arepa was also lovely, with a generous helping of gooey melted cheese on top of the slightly chewy, slightly sweet corn-based flatbread.
