Love this place. Great dosas. Not a fancy atmosphere but it's ok. Order at the counter. Go there! All veg. My fave order is rava masala dosa w/o chiles in the outer part. I also love the avial but it can be an acquired taste (very coconut!)

Great place for Dosa. There Dosa is the best in Northern Virginia. We were a large group . The Dida's were crispy tasty . Loved their sambar dal . Friendly waiter .Ordered a takeaway for hubby . He loved it too .

Sooooooo delicious! The best dosa! Worth going to, it's very simple inside and the food is served on paper plates. So it's very casual! But the food is good! Like what you would make at home. We also loved the idli and the sweets! Everything was perfect.

Ammah's Kitchen has had a face lift after Covid, they have painted their wall and the atmosphere is clean and friendly. It's a bistro-like atmosphere with no server. That's fine you order your food, and they always call you shortly. This is one of the few restaurants that's consistent with its quality and always has hot delicious food. The menu is limited that's wonderful.

Wife happy = 5 stars Had not been for a long time, happened to be in the area, so ventered in. The decor has been revamped. Lovely, clean mordern look with South Indian pictures on the walls. It's self service and the girl at the counter was polite, professional and efficient. We both got the onion rawa masala dosa, and frankly it was one of the best in the area. Crisp and non greasy. Very authentic with green chillies and cumin. The accompanying Sambhar was perfect in consistency with a 'real authentic' flavor, spiciness and vegetable blend. Portion was generous. Took home a Dahi Vada. Wish had gotten two as it went too fast. Beautifully soaked and spongy in a bath of tempered tangy yogurt. Steady stream of ethnic diners was a great endorsement

Mrs. wanted a snack. We picked up the following items from here. -Vada & Sambar. This item was good. Portion is a little bit on the smaller side. -Laddoo was superb! A nice treat for my sweet tooth! (+2) -Dahi Vada. Was alright. Portion was also small. Total was $18.52 with tax. Staff was very polite in their interactions according to the Mrs.

Delicious Dosas! There are a variety of dosas, choola batura and other South Indian classic dishes on the menu with affordable prices. You can get a Plain Dosa for only $5 while a Masala Dosa is slightly over $7. The Masala Dosa definitely had me fooled for a paper masala by its ginormous two foot length! The soft tender idly and crispy savory donut vada were tasty, and not dense or greasy. I only paid only $23 for a Masala Dosa and the Rava Paneer Dosa, Idly/Vada, and 2 bottles of water. No wonder it was packed at 9pm on Tues night! It's pretty casual with no reservations and can always find a table. Both the Masala Dosa and the Rava Paneer Dosa were on point and came with samber (which is spicy!) and chutney. The aloo potatoes are tasty and definitely recommend getting the Masala Dosa over the Plain Dosa, which is also smaller. The Rava Dosa hit the spot with its porous texture and perfectly cooked, it's made from semolina rather than rice flour. The Masala Dosa came out pretty quickly in a few minutes while the Rava Dosas took longer to cook and came out in 10-15 minutes. Definitely worth the wait! My only complaint about the Paneer Dosa is that the peas are a bit stiff and hard, while the paneer is tender and tasty. The Onion Masala Dosa didn't quite have the crispy texture I was looking for. The onions are not cooked with the dosa batter and just simply stuffed inside along with the Masala. The Onion I wish the Masala Dosa was crispier and also that Paper Masala Dosa was offered on the menu. Don't expect to dine at 8:45pm - 15 min before closing (9pm) - take-out orders only. It was bustling right before closing on a Sunday night and the staff grumpily let my toddler, hubby, and I chow down a quick bite before closing the restaurant. Lesson learned! Glad to see the restaurant has been in business over 25 years and continues to be a hit! My parents visiting from out of town loved the dosas and idly. It reminds us so much of Edison or Jackson Heights. Authentic, affordable, and homey!
