These Southern Indian dining rooms may be no-frills, but the dosas are a steal.
This second-story Georgetown restaurant is devoted to the vegetarian cooking of southern India, and the prices are astonishingly low. Two of the specialties, not often found on tandoori-oriented Indian-restaurant menus, are uttapams and dosas. The uttapam is a rice-and-lentil-flour pancake, served simply with sambar and chutney or topped with onions, chilies, or mixed vegetables. Dosas are impressively large Indian "crepes" wrapped around a variety of fillings and served with sambar and coconut chutney. They are priced from $4.59 for a plain one to $7.59 for one filled with house-made cheese.
Among the curries, the one made of chickpeas and potatoes is a standout. Beverages include yogurt-based lassis, juices, tea, and beer and wine.
