We took our dosa to go for game night at The Board Room. All the steps and the wait were totally worth it. We even got asked "where did you get that?" Gobi Dosa. Easily shareable. Tender and tasty cauliflower seasoned to perfection. Didn't pretend to be meat but just as savory & satisfying. read more

Best South Indian food I've ever had. I love that it's not a fancy sit-down kind of place, just clean, quick, and not greasy, with perfectly seasoned food. So yum!! Everything was awesome and I honestly have no bad notes. Service was super fast too. Will definitely be back many times. The interior is small and cozy, with only a few tables inside and three seats by the window. Masala Dosa (5/5) - Yummy, crispy dosa and yummy filling. So yummy with an awesome crunch Kinda tastes like sourdough bread or like a cheez it in the way it crunches lol. The curried yellow potato mixture inside was well-seasoned but still light, not heavy. Chole Puri (5/5) - Delicious. The thin, fluffy bread paired perfectly with the rich bean curry. Loved this!! Samosa (4/5) - Pretty standard, but still really good, especially when I reheated it later as leftovers. Uttapam (4/5) - Still had that great fermented dough flavor. I liked the mixed veggie add-ins, which made it taste fresher. read more

VEGZ is great casual sit down place. The restaurant has limited seating so it's better for small groups (2-4 people). You can order at the counter and everything is served on paper plates with plastic utensils. We ordered the papdi chat and mysore masala dosa. The chat tasted fresh and is a good appetizer to share. The dosa was spicy with a delicious potato filling. The dosa was nice and crispy and came with three chutneys. I liked the coconut chutney the most. Service is always quick and friendly. We were also given two gulab jamun on the house. read more

Does Ciara own this spot, because they said I'ma hit you with a dosa! Despite the relatively wide South Indian food scene in the DMV, few execute their dishes with the level of precision of the good folx at VEGZ. We ordered the SAMOSA CHAAT, UTHAPPAM, and MYSORE MASALA DOSA, all vegan, all delicious. I forgot to snap a photo of the Samosa Chaat, but please know that it's a hearty way to start your meal... and oh so satisfying. It's spicy, packed with robust flavor, crisp texture from the samosa, a creamy mash of peas and potatoes. I'll admit, Uthappam (and Idli) aren't my favorite street food. They're always so damn dry and chalky! Not at VEGZ. Beyond the silky, creamy texture of the pancake, the vegetables were delightfully sweet and perfectly paired with the Sambar (which was savory and spicy. And they're inexpensive! For $20, you can split an appetizer, have a huge dosa, and a drink! Periodt. Lastly, the staff was so friendly and welcoming. We had some questions and had to share dietary requirements. read more

I had an excellent take out experience at VEGZ. As a huge fan of dosas, I couldn't help but hit this place while on travel. I ordered my go-to masala dosa and splurged on gulab jamun for dessert. My order was ready exactly at the time they estimated and was well packed. After a several-block walk in the cold, everything was still hot when I unpacked it. I normally avoid doing takeout for a dosa out of concern that it would get soggy, but this one was beautifully crisp, even near the filling. The amount of masala filling was just right, and perfectly seasoned & cooked. It came with two chutneys and a generous amount of sambal. The chutneys were good, but be careful with how much you use if you are sensitive to spicy food. The gulab jamun were pretty tasty. They were a little smaller than I expected, but it worked out well because the dosa was so big and filling. I'd highly recommend VEGZ and will definitely return if I'm in the area again. read more

4.5 stars. I came here for South Indian food and got the dosa platter. The dosas in the trio could've been a little thinner, but overall I thought it was pretty good. I liked the variety of vegan and vegetarian options they had. I would come back to try other things. The atmosphere is casual. read more

Had been walking by this spot for so long and finally decided to check it out. The menu is huge and was honestly a bit overwhelming even for me (I'm quite familiar with Indian food.) I asked the server what was his favorite dish was that he'd recommend. He recommended a spicy paneer stir fry with peppers and onions. I thought it was okay, it got a little monotonous after awhile. The peppers and onion were also a bit too crunchy and the sauce was quite oily. I also got the spinach chaat, which was solid but was not as good as other versions I've had. While prices were expensive that portions were decent. The storefront is below ground, with dine in seating along one side of the space. They seem to do a good carry out business read more

VEGZ - KADAI PANEER (GF) and SPINACH CHAT (V) - Vegetarian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

VEGZ (a vegetarian/vegan Indian restaurant) has been on my list for a while, and I was craving Indian food this past Thursday evening so I got it delivered off Uber Eats. The food was warm and was packaged neatly. Both entrees came with a side of basmati rice. I wish it came with more rice per entree because I still had a lot of curry left after plowing through the rice. PALAK PANEER - 16.99 This palak paneer had a chunky, almost pasty texture (I could make out the diced onion pieces and spinach stems), and it was very flavorful and well-spiced. There was a good amount of paneer too. However, I thought it was a bit too salty and oily, but I guess that's what gave it lots of flavor. DAL MAKHANI - 13.99 The dal makhani was also pretty chunky. I've only had it a few times, so I can't speak on authenticity, but my preference is a smooth and creamy dal makhani, so I probably wouldn't get this again here. Flavors were fine, but nothing mindblowing. I saw that VEGZ is known for their South Indian options like their dosas, so I'll try those next time! read more

Heard so much good things about this spot that we've finally managed to visit here on a Sunday evening for dinner. We split both mains and were stuffed to the brim. The mysore dosa is huge and absolutely delicious. It's on the spicier side so if you're not used to Indian spices, please ask for a milder version. It hit all the spots for me and we left our mark on the post it notes wall. We will definitely be back to try out more delicious food on the menu! read more

This seems to be a highly rated place on a lot of food apps, but I genuinely think this is just an average place for vegetarian Indian food. I was craving Gobi Manchurian and that is exactly what I ordered but I was below-impressed by what was delivered. Manchurian was crispy as I asked, but the sauces were overly sweet. The Gobi pieces were small florets. The Gobi Manchurian which is an Indian street food staple was nothing to rave about at vegz. The pieces of naan were okay and felt more pita like than naan. I had specifically asked for disposable utensils but I got none so guess what? I had to use my fingers to eat. Overall, I think it is an okay place and probably overly hyped. read more

First time coming here with my friend and two people he was showing around town. Small and intimate. Service wasn't the fastest. We ordered a few dishes to share. The eggplant dish Baingan Bharta and the Gobi Manchuria were my favorites. The food was served in disposable dishware, which was off putting and also kinda wasteful. I'd suggest to the restaurant to switch to proper plates! read more

I have been there a couple of times and have also ordered food from DoorDash. Some of their food is good and the others are alright. Taste is not consistent. One of the reasons I have gone back here is because not many restaurants in DC offer dosa which is one of my favorite South Indian food. The lentil sambar that comes with dosa is not that flavorful here. Chutneys are alright. One thing I would recommend is their poori baaji. It's really good. Daal chawal (lentil rice) is alright as well. Chole bature can be a hit or a miss. Service is good. Ambiance is alright. read more

Hole in the wall but with a very ambitious menu of vegetarian Indian food. The service was friendly as we decided to eat there. The dosas we decided to have were nice and crisp but the filling and the chutney were not up to far To be fair we weren't very hungry read more

I made a visit to VEGZ on Adams Morgan and ordered the Palak Paneer, Gobi Manchurian, and Naan. The Gobi Manchurian had great flavor and seasoning that I didn't even realize it was vegetarian. The palak paneer paired well with the basmati rice and naan and the meal filled me up. I do wish there was a little more flavor in the palak paneer but it was still solid. The service was also great as the workers made sure I had everything I needed. read more

This was a delivery, so my rating is just for the food. I love Indian and vegan Indian food. This meal left me a bit disappointed. The Gobi Manchurian was a bit mushy and the flavor was good. The spinach chat was not my favorite. It was cool how the spinach was fried into chips, but it was a little dry and not as interesting as I hoped. The lentil rice was ok, a little on the mushy side. The potatoes came with Marsala soda and they were good. I would have liked mustard seeds, but it was probably the best of the order. read more

This place is a solid 4.5 (giving it 5 really because I completely enjoyed my meal and can't wait to come back and try some other dishes too!). The place itself is a teeny tiny spot located in the heart of Adams Morgan, a casual sit down restaurant that will bring your order quickly! Everything is fresh and the portions are tremendously big! So you can imagine a group of 5 people and their plates barely fitting in one table (here is all about the food!). Starting with the Papdi Chat (6.99) it was a great appetizer to share at the table, it was a well balanced dish speaking of textures and flavors! Crunchiness of the fried puris, mushiness of the spiced chickpeas, creaminess of the yogurt and the tang/zest of the chutneys made this one of my favorite appetizers and I will gladly eat it all hahah. My friends ordered the Masala Dosa ($12.99) which is basically an Indian savory crepe (crispier than your French crepe). The potatoes were cooked nicely with masala spices and played beautifully with the crisp exterior of the crepe! All the Dosas comes with red chutney (that I assumed had tamarind) and sambar! You get to dip or pour their content onto your dosa. I had the Paneer Dosa ($15.99) which had shredded paneer cheese, and it was cooked with some tomatoes. Kind of like a veggie tofu scramble! It was very tasty and I couldn't agree more with people that this was the best of their dosas! We also had a the Dal Makhani ($12.99) it was very aromatic and flavorful black lentil stew/curry. My friend had it before and she likes to top it with some of their green chutney for some tang! Portion is really big, perfect for sharing or to have leftovers for the next day! Overall a great meal for a rainy day! read more

I am very biased with Indian food because I'm Punjabi and for me, my mom is the best cook. Not often do I come across Indian food where I'm genuinely shocked at how good it is and how it comes close to or is better than my mom's cooking. Vegz was definitely one of them. People working there were nice, had a smile on their face the whole time. The restaurant itself is no frills and honestly they don't even need to be fancy because of how good the food is. Their samosa chaat was the best I've had in the DMV area. I wish I got chole bhature because of how good the chole were in the samosa chaat. The Mysore masala dosa was also very good, but boy do they not mess around with spice! The sambar and the potato filing were super spicy which we loved! Thank god for the mango lassi though haha I honestly can't wait to go back and try more of their food! read more

I'm not sure if people on yelp took pics of the wrong thing or if my order was incorrect but the chile puri that I received was the bread and a cup of liquid only, no garbanzo beans. The gobi Manchurian was good. I took my food to go so no ability to go back since I'm headed to the airport and wanted something to eat before I go. The customer service wasn't the best either when picking up the order, but the food was ready on time. read more

If you have a craving for vegetarian Dosas in a casual setting, I can fully recommend VEGZ. Seating is limited.

Samosa chaat was probably one of the best dishes I've ever tried in my entire life. Dosas were good but nothing special -- I've had better. The samosa chaat, though, carried my entire order. Great location, not that much seating. Friendly staff and also they were very helpful and allowed my friend and I to split a rather complex bill. 100% recommend. read more

Amazing dosas and delicious chats. Really enjoyed a family meal. We also had delightful mango lassi!

Amazing good tasting food. We are only visiting DC, but this is by far the best dosa and vadai we've ever had, hands down.

The food was incredible. Everything we ate was delicious! We got tadka dal ( They even made it Without onion and garlic for us) , we got puri bhaji, paneer tikka, baigan bharta and lassis! The food was amazing! The place is a hole in the wall and is small, so it can be a little tight but the delicious food made up for anything the place was lacking! The lady serving the food was polite and really sweet. Would definitely recommend read more

I rarely get up to the AdMo area, but I will definitely be back to VEGZ! I brought my vegan friend here this weekend and she was very happy to be somewhere with so many options for her. Based on all the reviews, we ordered the Samosa Chat to start - OMG that was incredible and I see why everyone raves about it! The depth of flavor was insane and the samosas were perfect with the chutneys. I would go back and just order a few of those for a meal! My friend ordered the tadka dal, which she said was good, but a little less interesting in flavor than the Samosa Chat. I got curious from the photos and ordered the masala dosa and it was great! It looks enormous when comes out, but the dosa is very light and flakey, so you won't have any issue getting through it, especially with the really good sauces/chutneys it came with! The potato filling inside was nicely spiced, well cooked, and even though it looks like a small portion compared to the size of the dosa, it was actually a perfect serving amount. I see why everyone recommends this one! Seating is limited, so you may need to wait a bit (or take out - I saw lots of people doing that), but service is fast, so they are moving efficiently. The only note I'd make is that their speaker was having issues (maybe it was old? Maybe the connection is weak underground?) and that was a bit distracting to have it keep connecting/disconnecting, but don't worry, you'll barely notice it over how much you'll be raving about the food! read more

Such a gem of a spot! Service was fast and the food was so so good. The seating is somewhat limited so you might have to wait a bit or just take the food to go. My favorites: gobi manchurian, masala dosa, and mango lassi What we ordered: -Gobi Manchurian: crispy cauliflower covered in a sweet, garlicky sauce. The texture reminded me of sesame chicken and it stayed crispy throughout the hour that we sat there chatting and eating. -Masala Dosa: the dosa was huuuuuge (bigger than our arms) and super crispy. It came with 2 sauces and a curry on the side and the masala was inside the dosa. -Bhindi Dopiyaza: okra, onions, and tomatoes that came with a side of rice. It packed some heat and it came with a side of rice. I really liked the texture of the okra -Mango Lassi: delicious as ever -Salt Lassi: we had never heard of it before so we wanted to try it. It's salty and tangy with some pepper (it reminded me of sour Chinese drinkable yogurt with extra salt). It pairs well with the food but I still prefer mango lassi. Glad we tried it! read more

literally always wanted to try the extremely popular dosas from here after having some fabulous chaat (that came with many delicious chutneys!) - I saw photos of the dosas in the restaurant and they were HUGE burrito shaped meals, I suspected takeout would be wrapped in the same shape like a burrito but instead it was folded over. - the new shape of the dosa I believe prevented optimal filling ratio. there was way too much breading with only a few tablespoons of spinach filling - I loved the crunch on the top and bottom and the curried spinach was an amazing savory mild cut to the THREE (WOOOOOO) sauces. - super affordable wonderful prices read more

Paneer Makhani 5/5 amazing, it reminded me of a korma sauce and so good Navratna Korma 4/5 wish there were more vegetables and the portion size was smaller than paneer makhani read more

My visit to Vegz, just before a show at DCAC, was a blend of hits and misses. The highlight for me was undoubtedly the samosas, which were delicious, and the fries, though standard, did not disappoint. The veggie Biriyani had a good flavor, but we encountered pieces of what seemed to be burned garlic, with an unpleasant texture reminiscent of tree bark, which detracted from the overall experience. The aloo palak, unfortunately, did not meet our tastes, but that's a matter of personal preference. On the plus side, Vegz offers a cozy and authentic atmosphere, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The charm of the restaurant and its authenticity are definite draws. While I have mixed feelings about our meal, the positive aspects make me open to giving Vegz another try, opting for different main dishes in the future. Didn't get pics of the entrees! read more

Returned to VEGZ and once again had a great experience. My companion and I decided to share each dish and ordered all three at once. Service was friendly and prompt, despite how busy the restaurant was. The limited number of tables allows VEGZ staff more ability to offer good service to the customers that are seated; no one seems stretched too thinly, which I appreciate. We ordered the Masala Dosa (masala on the side, always! Prevents a crisp dosa form becoming soggy), Gobi Manchurian, and Bhindi Dopiyaza; each dish was a hit. The Gobi Manchurian was better than last time; the pieces of cauliflower were bigger and the sauce was excellent. Last time, the dish was slightly oversalted but this time it was not at all. 5/5. The Bhindi was excellent and came with rice, which we did not realize but enjoyed nonetheless. Okra, onions, and tomatoes; it's hard to go wrong but this wasn't overly oily and hit all the right notes. 5/5. We ate this along with the masala dosa, most of which was ideal. The dosa itself was crispy and large; it definitely left us wanting more. The chutneys were pleasantly spiced and the tomato ginger chutney was especially good. The potatoes were quite good though not as gingery or spiced as last time. The sambar was the only weak link of these components, but overall the meal was deserving of a 5/5. Will be back at VEGZ soon! read more

I was reluctant to try this place as I'd never had this cuisine before and didn't know what to expect. Now, after trying it, I'm asking why didn't I get here sooner?! Everything I've had from VEGZ is amazing!! I love that they have a ton of plant-based options so I don't feel like I'm limited to just a small amount of items on the menu. The staff was super helpful with helping me choose from the menu since I had no idea what to try. The food was PHENOMENAL! Everything was fresh, super flavorful, and the portions were generous! The space is small, so you may have a wait in order to get a seat if you're eating inside. Parking is challenging in this area so we often order delivery so we can enjoy the food without the parking hassle! Do yourself a favor and try VEGZ! read more

I can hardly express how much I love this place...Vegz is an absolute delight, with its delicious and flavor-packed dishes and super-casual and laid-back vibe! And, as if that wasn't enough to seal the deal, everything here is vegetarian, and there are plenty of vegan options as well! I first visited Vegz with a friend for dinner, and I admit that I wasn't expecting much when I first walked into the tiny restaurant, tucked away in a basement in the middle of AdMo with only a few tables and plastic chairs. Despite its small size and relatively utilitarian furnishings, Vegz delivered both massive portions and flavor. My friend and I underestimated how large the portions would be (especially given how cheap everything was), so we ordered the masala dosa, dal makhani, and chole puri. It was way too much food for the two of us, but, thankfully, the leftovers tasted just as amazing the next day. The masala dosa is a classic for a reason. First of all, it's MASSIVE -- way bigger than any dosa I've ever seen, and it was absolutely delicious. The potatoes were fragrant, wonderfully spiced, and soft and hearty. They paired wonderfully with the paper-thin and crispy dosa, as well as the super-flavorful sambal. Every now and then, I also dipped the dosa in the chickpeas from the chole puri or in the dal makhani, and it also paired wonderfully with both of those...it was honestly just so warm and comforting, and it soaked up the flavors of anything that it was dipped in. The chole puri and dal makhani were also delicious! They were both packed with flavor, with the perfect balance of spices, and I really appreciated that both were dairy-free (and they were both so wonderfully rich and decadent that I definitely didn't miss the dairy at all). The chickpeas were definitely the highlight of the chole puri; I enjoyed the puffed bread that it came with, but it was a bit too greasy for my preference. Even so, it was delightfully soft and soaked up the delicious chickpea curry perfectly. The dal makhani was incredible with both the masala dosa and the basmati rice that it came with, and was equally delicious that night at the restaurant and the next day for lunch. Vegz has quickly become one of my favorite Indian restaurants in DC, and I am beyond excited for my next excuse to hop over to AdMo to give them another shot. The portions and prices are literally unbeatable, and I still can't get over how delightfully light and crispy their dosa was or how spectacularly flavorful each and every dish was. read more

We've been looking for a South Indian spot and vegz did not disappoint! Delicious dosas, street food and curries. Everything on the menu is vegetarian. We went with a mango lassi, Mysore masala dosa and regular masala dosa. Both dosas have the same potato filling inside but the Mysore masala dosa itself is also spicy and more flavorful which I liked. Dosas were good and a large size. It comes with two chutneys and sambar as well. The mango lassi was good too, but I recommend splitting it with someone in order to be able to finish the dosa, they're big! One thing that's a little annoying, the door to the bathroom hits one of the tables in the seating area. If you're seated at that table you'll have to constantly stand up and let people go through in order to use the bathroom. It's hard when you're trying to enjoy your food, and hard for the people who need to use the bathroom. And with a restaurant that requires you to use your hands to eat, almost everyone that dines in will need to use it to wash their hands. Overall this is a great spot for quick Indian food, and pretty cheap as well. Service was quick and our food came fast after ordering. read more

This is an amazing little restaurant on the basement level of a building in the Adam's Morgan neighborhood. There are maybe 6 tables in the entire place but this place was busy with a carryout, pickup and even dine in orders. I'm not sure how to pronounce the name and the name didn't give away the fact that it's an Indian restaurant. The prices are very affordable and the selections spans both north and South Indian cuisine. The staff is very welcoming and friendly; they are exceptional at what they do. I noticed they even have several regulars yet they treat everyone that walks in like family. We ordered the Mysore Masala Dosa and the Samosa chaat. Everything tasted fresh and made to order. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be coming back to this spot. What's unique is that everything is vegetarian and they have many vegan selections too. I don't think anyone would notice because there were all sorts of customers of different ages and ethnicities. read more

I have been coming here at least 2-3 times a year the last five years even during the pandemic. It has not changed from day one. A mom and pop joint and the hubby is the chef with helpers. I love the masala Dosa, in fact all their Dosas and Uthappam is as authentic as one can be in the States. My partner loves their Cholle Puri and it even has the street flavor ( very slight sourness from Chutneys ) from Delhi. Today I had the new Taco Dosa. I had my filled and loved the 3 different fillings in each of them. Mango lassi was well made and only $3.99. Overall a 4.5. Service is superb and friendly. read more
