Wow...just wow. I have always sought out great Indian food, and have experienced many excellent Indian restaurants over the years. Some hole-in-the-wall joints and some really upscale fine dining restaurants (yes they exist). This hole-in-the-wall place is truly a foodie's dream. The flavors are spot-on and the portions are generous. I would place this in my top 3 of the best Indian food I have had in my life. If you find yourself in this part of town, do your taste buds a huge favor and drop in for some truly amazing food. read more

The food here is incredibly tasty. Why there isn't a line out the door every day is a mystery, but I guess we can't complain.

All I can say is incredible. I have been in DC for a year and have found very few places to eat that are actually good. Vegz is one of them. This place is so F N good!!!! I cannot say anything better about them! Staff is so nice. Food is so delicious. So many vegan options and also not! You can eat in there if u want. It's clean!!!!! I got take out though. It is so good. GET THE SAMOSA. so f n good. Cannot speak higher about this place. read more

I am from india, and I hate the Indian food in DC. I'm a pretty good cook, so I never really order Indian food as much because I can make it at home better than most restaurants. But I gotta say, VEGZ is the REAL DEAL. Completely ,100%. I always look forward to ordering from them. I was already a fan of their indo chinese fare, and dosas. Today I tried their Dal Makhni, and the moment I had it, it made me feel like I was home. Let me tell you, dal makhni is tough to get right. Most restaurants overdo it with too much butter and grease, but their dal is OH SO GOOD. My main problem with them is they don't do meat dishes. I respect that, but they would completely kill it if they did. There is a reason why they are highly rated. BECAUSE THEY ARE SOOO FREAKING GOOD. Go ahead and try them! read more

This is a hidden gem. If you're looking for amazing vegetarian food and flavors and amazing service this is the spot. This is my 4th time eating here and it hasn't disappointed yet. I can highly recommend the Paneer Makani, Peas with Paneer, the garlic braised lentils and all the crepes!! My friends and I usually order one dish each and share family style! The prices are very affordable and you get a lot of food for what you pay. My group of friends have actually never been able to finish it all. This is my go to vegetarian spot in DC. read more

This is a great little lunch spot in Admo. I dropped in the other day and had the cauliflower and potato lunch plate. They made it for me fresh and it was delicious- but it had a lot of green peppers so avoid if you don't like them. read more

Yum! The team that greets you is SUPER nice and they provide helpful tips. The portions are huge. I had enough for lunch and dinner leftovers. The place is chill - perfect for picking up takeout after work or grabbing a quick bite before drinks or a concert. The food is filling and wholesome. And, yay for a completely vegetarian menu with lots of options for vegan and gluten-free friends. read more

Best masala dosas and sambar in DC! Flavorful and truly authentic. Almost as good as my mom's (shhh... don't tell my mom). Would love to see them expand the menu to include even more south Indian dishes! Also adding some chai to the menu would be great!! read more

I'm so happy this place exists! No fuss, delicious, affordable, and quick vegan food is not that easy to come by. This place checks all of those boxes (+ more) and they have only been open for just a few weeks. The crackled spinach reminds me of a kale dish at The Bombay Club. Get the potato crepe and the garlic braised black lentils read more

Delicious dosa right in Adams Morgan! Dosa and other South Indian cuisine is so hard to find, this lovely restaurant is a real gem for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. I recommend the potato dosa slathered in sambar (yellow soup) with a dollop of coconut (creamy green sauce) on top - both sauces come with the dosa. To make it easier to eat, I recommend folding the empty sides of the dosa in over the center potato-filled portion, then flipping the whole thing over and cutting into squares. Drink a mango lassi (smoothie) to round out this delicious meal. read more

This place has phenomenally good Indian food , at a terrific value with staff that are so friendly and passionate about their business Much better than Jyoti up the street The okra is our favorite dish, but everything we've had is terrific -- the naan, the puri, eggplant, chickpeas, and black lentils were all wonderful. The fried spinach appetizer is also amazing! I hope to see this new addition to our neighborhood thrive -- there are many restaurants on 18th street but this is my new favorite! Yum! read more

I really liked the quality for the price! The owners seem very knowledgeable about the flavorful cuisine and vegan recipes. I ordered a lot of different items to see what I might like if I make this a go-to lunch spot, and my favorite items were the crackled spinach (pretty spicey), the eggplant, naan and hummus. Overall I was impressed, seems like a promising option! read more

Great food. Specially Chilli Paneer. Also try Yogurt Mango. Veggie Burger was exactly like what we get in India...amazing read more

As a South Indian from the SF Bay Area, I definitely have high standards for my dosas but VEGZ was what I needed after many months of substandard Indian food in DC. In addition to an order of the samosas, I ordered the mysore masala dosa and my friend got the paneer vindaloo which came with rice. The samosa was great and both the mint and tamarind chutneys were strong and authentically flavorful. I accidentally ordered my dosa with both the paneer and potato fillings which was a miscommunication on my part, but it was still quite yummy! The sambar on the side was a little lukewarm when served but I really liked the coconut chutney. The mysore masala was honestly quite spicy even by my Indian standards (my nose was running the whole time) and while I found it refreshing, I would definitely recommend that those with milder palettes avoid this dish. The paneer vindaloo was also quite spicy but enjoyable. The service was fast and friendly. The only reasons this is not quite a 5 star review is that the place was a little less clean than most other DC establishments I've visited and I wish the sambar heated more thoroughly, but I will definitely be coming back here next time I crave a dosa :) read more

VEGZ - MYSORE MASALA DOSA(V/GF), PANEER VINDALOO(GF) - Vegetarian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I went to Vegz for the first time, and I'll definitely visit again! I had the gobi mutter with naan. The peas and cauliflower were perfectly cooked. All of the seasonings and spices were balanced and complimented each other. I was especially impressed that the rice was cooked. Rice Allan make or break a dish-- and they did a good job cooking it the rice to be the best texture to carry the dish. However, I wish more rice was included with the dinner. As for the naan, it was pretty good. I prefer a more flaky naan, this one is more doughy. The staff were friendly and they prepared the food swiftly and efficiently. Some good eats here! read more

VEGZ - GOBI MUTTER - Vegetarian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

All the 5 star reviews are totally justified! I've been traveling to DC every month for the last 5 months and Vegz is the best restaurant I've been to. The ambience is modest and could use some improvement but the food really packs a punch. We had Samosa, Gobi Manchurian, medu wada, taco dosa, and masala dosa. Yeah we were really hungry! Lol. The Samosa was great! Crispy and delicious. The dosas were crisp, fresh, and tasty. I loved, loved, loved the tomato coconut chutney that came with them. Sambar was also top notch. The Manchurian was ok, not great. It was a little salty. But overall, the food felt fresh, almost like homemade food, tasty, and not too spicy. Great experience and we'll definitely return. read more

This place is awesome! If you eat whole foods, plant-based, no oil, this place is for you! The owner is very helpful and will walk you through the entire menu. Probably the best food I've had in Washington DC! You have to try this out because it is a local business and they really strive to help you find the food that you want. I had the red onion thick rice pancake and it was delicious! read more

So. Incredibly. Delicious. Had a crazy craving for palak paneer today which brought me here. So glad I gave into my craving! Two lovely men were working, one by the name of Paul. Shortly after placing my order for the spinach and cheese on their menu, the most amazing smells (garlic, Indian spices) started coming from the open kitchen. They tailored my order to make it spicy for me. Perfect level of spice and seasoning and a generous serving. I cook this dish at home occasionally (substituting tofu for paneer since it's easier to find) but it doesn't turn out like this! Definitely come here i you're also a big saag panneer / palak paneer fan. Wonderful depth of flavor and cooked fresh for you. I can't yet speak to their other dishes but the dosas look Ah-mazing! Also, they deliver via door dash and other apps. Go get you some vegz! read more

VEGZ - Spinach and cheese (or saag / palak paneer) - Vegetarian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This small spot opened late 2019 and has been on my list of favorites for vegetarian food in DC. The Paneer is a staple and the seasoning on the okra and eggplant is amazing. I would say their crepes are their one weakness as I haven't had a great experience on any of them. Also if you're a mango lover I highly recommend their mango yogurt smoothie. read more

VEGZ - Onion glazed garbanzo and Puri bread - Vegetarian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The first time I ordered from this place is was good overall. The daal tadka was delicious, the dal makhani was pretty good, but the samosa was super mushy. The second time around, I order the daal tadka and it was a terrible, watery mess. Like mostly water and oil, very little lentils. The dosa was just okay in my opinion. Unfortunately, due to the lack of consistency, I won't be ordering from here in the future. Too risky. read more

This place is awesome, especially for a lunch break or casual dinner after drinking around AdMo. I heard about this place before it opened via IG/the vegan DC community. About a week after they opened, I visited on a Friday night with some friends. The shop is small; but smelled delicious! We ordered a variety of things (burgers, fries, samosas) and all were delicious- very flavorful and decently sized, despite the low menu prices. The place was pretty busy; but we still found a table in the back. The cashier (also the owner) and the cooks were so friendly - they answered all of our questions, told us about how business has been, and about the journey to open VEGZ. In addition to the well-priced/delicious food, my favorite part was taking to the friendly staff! I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area and hope to see the shop expand locations soon! read more

Food is just okay. Don't know why it is being rated that high and it's being expensive too. Quantity is good for sure but lack the authencity of taste and texture. High expectation based on rating but will cause huge disappointment too.... read more

Dosas are delicious! Samosa are very good and crispy with some spice. These are all I tend to order. The dosa is a larger potion and comes with three sauces. I've also tried the paneer Tikka which has a lot of veggies in it. read more

I've been here several times and have never been disappointed with the dosas! The staff is friendly and quick!

Vegetarian-friendly menu -- and staff! Feel good inside and out with the quick, healthy and tasty dishes. And supporting a small business. Quality food and good service helped them survive the pandemic. VEGZ catered a small gathering for me and delivered hot food on time (even a bit early). Attendees raved about the dishes, especially the crispy spinach chaat (as an appetizer). I highly recommend this convenient and easy-to-locate AdMo business on 18th Street for a quick bite. Check out VEGZ (pronounced "veeegz"). read more

Soooo good! My bf and I got the masala dosa, paneer dosa, and gobi manchurian. Everything was delicious--especially the masala dosa. He's South Indian and described it as "the best dosa in DC." read more

One of my favorite neighborhood spots!! Reasonably priced & very kind staff :) the food is SO TASTY!!!! I always get a dosa, crackled spinach, and the chili paneer to split with my house. The staff is super safe and thoughtful! You can tell the food is fresh read more

Love the Yellow Dal its the best I've had since Abashaar closed down in Springfield, VA. This is now my fave for indian food. Large Portions and affordable. I will be a regular customer. read more

Their coconut and broccoli dish is somewhat simple but quite tasty and reasonably priced. I wish they gave a little more rice but lverl that is a fairly small critique. Their naan was tasty too. read more

One of the best samosas I've had in DC! The daal and paneer was too oily though! The place has taken a adequate precautions for Covid. read more

Great addition to the neighborhood. We ended up here because I'm vegan but now my fiancé who's not keeps begging to come back. Great food, fair prices, friendly people. Get one the crepes! read more

SO SO GOOD!!! I've been here several times. They have the best gobi Manchurian I've ever had. If you love spicy food, I definitely recommend the gobi indian hot.

Understated and excellent. My Indian mother approves wholeheartedly. I only wish I lived closer.

Great good. I'm not vegetarian but loved all of the fishers I got from here. I will go back again.

Delicious. Among the best Indian food I've eaten. That's all I have to say - you needn't read further - but if I don't write more it doesn't count as a review - ah well lol - working the system read more

The masala dosa was delicious! Sambar and chutney were also tasty. Nice little place to have a quick sit-down meal.

We love getting takeout from Vegz, the dal and chole are standouts. Also love eating dosas in person. BUT on our latest takeout order the naan was so strange - it didn't seem homemade at all, more like a flatbread from a package that white people think is "naan" -- very disappointed by that and won't be ordering the naan again. Curious if this is a usual thing? read more

We've been eating Indian food in the DMV area for 4.5 years, and this place is right up there with the very best! We are Indian and grew up in different parts of the country so we know our Indian food, and this place does every dish perfectly. This place gives indigo and rasika a run for their money. Must try! Recommended dishes - the crepes (best if you eat-in), the crackled baby spinach, and chilly paneer. But you won't go wrong with anything. read more
