Dosa Grill - Indian Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

This place is great the Dosa is huge!! They also were very polite and got my order just like I like it. Lots of people from every walk of life here. You can tell that it is also a home town favorite for the National delicacies. We have found our new Indian restaurant to go weekly! Highly recommend! 5/5 stars 10/10 read more

I've visited this restaurant a couple times, but feel the need to give three stars. The staff are extremely friendly and fast with the service; the large screen TVs make the dining experience great. However, the last couple times I walked into the restaurant, it smelled like dirty towels. The prices are great for the amount of food we get. I tried the regular dosa, rava dosa and masala dosa. The first 2 were delicious and worth ordering again. The Masala dosa...not so much because of the weird combo of undercooked lentils with peas and carrots. Why not just seasoned potatoes and onions? The chutneys are all great, my favorite is the white-colored one, I'm not sure what flavor it is. I think if it weren't for the strong smell and the masala dosa fillings, I'd give 4 stars. I definitely would return though, next time I have a dosa craving. read more

Very disappointed in service. We arrived on a Saturday after checking the website for hours. A hostess greeted us and indicated we could choose a seat. We waited about 25 minutes with no staff to be found. I went looking for someone only to be told that they close in 20 minutes. The website says they are open 8:30 to 10:00. We had to show them their own website to show the time. We left as they were suggesting another restaurant. The website has not been changed! read more

This place is mind blowing! Love love the food here. The servers literally recognize you by your faces and always very welcoming. So glad to have an excellent experience so close to our home. Ghee roast dosa is as long as the width of the table. My most favorite is onion rava dosa. Ty read more

Dosas feed my soul and my belly! I came across Dosa Grill last week after a doctor's appointment and have been craving dosas all week! So happy to have a follow up appointment and dosa fix today! The dosas are light, soft and crispy all at the same time! I love the chutney accompaniment and sambar too! We got the Masala dosa and keema dosa and both were good. read more

Great food! We got $150 worth of takeout and it was all delish even days later Takeout on the weekend can take over an hour. Be prepared to wait! read more

Don't believe the hours on their website!!!! Says opens at 8:30am but NOPE!! Opens at 5!!!

TERRIBLE unhygienic I saw the waiter with Clorox cleaning the table witch was great but than the same girl with the same gloves she served water reaching the top of the glass. Place for getting sick. When we called them out they had a stupid defence. We cancelled our order. They lady was more interesting in cancelling what we ordered than trying to salvave the customer pity sick please dont go woodland or sai sarvana bhavan much better. If I could I would give negative stars read more

Went there last night with family. Everyone was excited about trying this place. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to its hype. Food was very very salty. I was looking forward to flavors of chutneys but they were ridiculously overdosed with salt that killed any natural flavors. Staff was friendly and acknowledged the food was salty but doesn't mean anything to our BP. read more

Brought the family here to dine in. The space is rather small and has a diner vibe to it, but the staff was very friendly. We were a little confused regarding if we needed to order at the register, then sit down, or sit down and then someone would take our order. We ended up doing both but I think in the future that protocol is to sit down first. On to the food. This was our first time ever having dosa and we will absolutely be back in the future! The chicken dosa was our big favorite. This is a big meal for 1 or could easily be split among a few people if you wanted to share. The masala dosa was also great. The dosa crepes were pliable but quite crispy. They were served with 3 sauces and a delicious soup. The white sauce had a strong peanut/sesame flavor to it and was my favorite, followed by the green with orange being 3rd (orange one had more floral herbal flavors to it). We also got the gobi manchurian (fried cauliflower) at medium spice. This was delicious and way frankly much better than the recent trend of "general tso's cauliflower" at a lot of other restaurants. The flavor reminds me a lot of vinegar based hot sauce but they knocked this out of the park. I can't wait to try some of the other fried dishes they offer! The food came out very quick once the order was put in. I'll say again that the staff was very welcoming to our family and the kids. They even gave our kids complementary mango smoothies (which they didn't drink so my wife and I did). I think the texture (very smooth/creamy) is not something that is typical in the states but the flavor is good. I would describe it as a very thick mango milk. If you're into that, then you'll enjoy it. Overall, strongly recommend this place especially to anyone who hasn't had dosa. While it's an ethnic food establishment with primarily patrons more familiar with the food, we felt very welcomed and are already looking forward to our next visit! read more

**To Go Order** Worth it? No Repeat? Not anymore The quality and service has gone significantly down since this place opened. Agree with others recently about the wait times on takeout. Placed the order 5:48pm, got told it would be ready in 10-15 minutes. Ended up getting it at 6:30 without any reasoning from the two workers on the hold up. Do not get the Roti. It is 4 tortilla that they don't even bother cooking for $2.99. Straight robbery Unlike other Indian places around, you can't change the spice level of butter chicken. It was still the best dish out from the take out. ~Samosa Chaat. Decent - Chicken Vindaloo. They could make this extra spicy but there was zero flavor. The potatoes didn't taste that fresh -Masala Dosa. Not a lot of flavor and you make it yourself as it comes all separate.. read more

Service was good, food was okay and arrived very quickly. The bathroom and hallway leading to the bathroom was a filthy mess. I asked for the chicken biryani (boneless) but the server told me they were out of it. Instead went with the boneless butter chicken. There was no naan bread, but they do have roti. Price was reasonable. This is a fast food place with plastic silverware and disposable cups. read more

I had a taste for Indian food so glad I stopped by Dosa Grill. I wanted fish so I asked for a recommendation. Fish Pulusu was recommended and hot level spicy. I got a look from everyone so I changed to medium and received a nod of approval. It was a good thing, medium was right on. I decided to taste a bite in the parking lot but couldn't stop because it was so good. This will be my go to from now on!! read more

I've been here before and know their food is pretty good. I called in an order for briyani and butter chicken today and was told 20-25 minutes. 45 minutes later my food was finally ready- with no sorry it took longer. Actually I walked in and was ignored for 5-10 minutes while I even waited to ask for my food. Mango lassi was good but lukewarm since they have it pre poured in an open faced fridge. The vegetable briyani was great and had a nice spice. The butter chicken needed spice (which they didn't ask me if I wanted when ordering). The kicker is they did NOT give me a side of naan for free- I understand perhaps it's no longer free. But to add insult to injury they served the food with a wheat tortilla??? Why would an Indian place serve food with a wheat tortilla? Never in my life have I see something like that before. Not sure if it's purposely done to be cheap or to trick people who don't know better but it's just rude. Decent food- bad service and bad business practices. read more

Hands down the best Dosa and Upma in town!! I am an Indian American and I know my Indian food, let me tell you this is by far the best Dosa you will in Virginia!! Dosa is perfectly roasted with the right ratio of crispiness vs softness and my choice - MLA dosa comes with the filling - Upma with shredded onions and chillies. I have been coming here for a year and they never disappoint- the only negative remark I have is that they need to hire more staff for the busy hours on weekends. Wait can get quite unbearable at times (30-45 mins) read more

Good food and great service. Their uttapam was crisp and well made- I haven't had such good uttapam in a lot of places. Their dosa was cold and stale and didn't seemed like it was made fresh. Apart from that, we ordered Idli and Vada which were really good. read more

My family has been to Dosa Grill a few times, however my recent visit was the first time I decided to try them out. I decided to get a classic dosa to see if the dosa lived up to its namesake, and it did not disappoint. It was crispy and the sambar was piping hot and had flavor. The trio of chutneys served alongside were also good. We also liked the chicken lollipop dish we ordered. It was spicy and crunchy; a good appetizer. Service was alright and the food was good. Enough reasons for us to come back again. read more

Dosa Grill - Menu - Indian Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Although our house has at least a dozen Indian restaurants wishing a 3 mile radius all which serve soda, my wife and I decided after our Temple visit to try a 4 week old one 24 Montes away close to route 50 and Loudoun locates in a new shopping mail. It has a great location casual and South Indian bases which meant great dosas. We prefer chicken lollipops for an appetizer and of course the most huge masala dosas that came not just with the usual 2 sauces but 5 all equally unique and delicious. Probably the best dosas with potatoes inside and you should know with just a little kick or it. Their sweet pan was a delight and served with class for a casual restaurant The owner comes around personally and I hope he continues as this restaurant takes off which it definitely will. Finally a competitor to Ammas in Vienna. We will r turn even if it's a drive. Awesome. read more

We had Dosa Grill cater a party for us that included some Indian food lovers. Every single dish was outstanding! The Paneer was so delicious! I am not that familiar with Indian food and the hostess at the front desk actually helped me select the dishes, all vegetarian. All were a hit with everyone! The pricing was reasonable and we had a lot of food and were able to send some home with our guests, an added bonus. I have eaten in the restaurant too and love the plain dosa. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. We ordered ahead so had no issue with wait times. :) read more

Went there for the first time a couple days ago. We ordered two dishes one with chicken and the other with lamb. Both the chicken and the lamb were very dry and not tender (probably overcooked), the sauces were excellent, but the meat took away from the experience. The garlic naan was excellent. read more

Took my dad here and we both really enjoyed the dosas. Food was flavorful and fresh. Rava onion masala dosa is my go too. There are a lot of ethnic food places in the area, especially many Indian restaurants, but I have to commend the staff at Dosa Grill for their customer service. From start to finish, they were pleasant and hospitable, even while visibly busy with endless carry out orders. Manager came by and chatted, and really enhanced the overall dining experience that is often lacking at most Indian restaurants. Overall, awesome experience with both the food and customer service here. Prices are extremely reasonable as well. read more

We have come to this place couple of times thinking our experience would get better. It always take a long time to get the food. Their lead time to make uttapam is 30 mins. They never have choole bhature. Which is all OK. But today, after waiting for 30 mins, they served raw uttapam to my 6 year old son. We found out that the uttapam is raw after he ate some and mentioned he dint like it. Glad he only some of it. He is already complaining about stomach ache. When my husband mentioned about the raw uttapam while paying for the order, there was no reaction from them.. no empathy. Just a plain ok. If you ever go here with kids, taste your kids food first. You never know, it could be raw! We are definitely not going again and will make the community aware of their food quality. read more

Food is good dosa is especially good I tried the chili chicken it was very dry and tasted not that great but they offered to remake it so maybe I'll try it again. wait time is incredibly long like everyone else mentioned read more

I have experienced both dine-in and Uber delivery from this place. While the dine in experience was good, the Uber Delivery service both times were horrendous. They were unbelievably late every single time with the order. For the latest Uber order, the driver changed three times and the order was still not ready. I may or may not go to this place for dine in but never ordering from this place ever again via any delivery apps cause I know that they don't start preparing your food until they see your driver waiting to pick up the food. I think it's unfair to the person waiting and also to the customer. No pictures of the food cause it never came this time. Terrible!! read more

The food is above average; the service is above average. But don't expect table cloths, cloth napkins, or even silverware (yep: they actually use white plastic utensils. The decor is severely lacking. They also don't serve beer or wine. But the prices are fair, and the food & service is above average. I eat a lot of Indian, but the night I was there we were the only non-Indians in the place- which attests to their authenticity They also do a robust carryout business. I say 3:1 carryout. read more

AUTHENTIC Indian cuisine. The dosa is to die for and they have amazing biryani. Don't let the ambience fool you- if you are in need of authentic- real good- bless your soul kind of food. This is the place. The fact that at the time we were the only "non-Indian" should tell you everything you need to know. If they pack the place up... it's good! The manager was AMAZING and so was his staff. Highly recommend. read more

Got takeout from this place a week ago and liked it so much went back this weekend to have a sit down meal. The food is fresh, tasty and offers a varied menu to satisfy anyone. We went for the classic masala dosa. Their dosas are the best I've had. Thin, crispy, buttery. Goes perfectly with the potatoes and chutneys. We also tried the Andhra chicken. Unique flavors and spicy. The mango lassi is thick and not too sweet. We enjoyed it very much. The staff are polite and prompt. Food is freshly prepared so you have your wait a few mins. Ambience is diner style. Mainly booths for 4 with a few tables that can seat more. Strongly recommend this place. read more
