I love Indian food. I really do. But when it comes to the spice level, I'm baby spice! When we told our server we wanted our dishes to be mild, in fact, super mild if it can be managed. I know our server was going to try to let the chef know that but when she said he likes to make his dishes a little too hot, I knew we were in trouble. And when our dishes arrived, they were indeed too spicy even though our receipt at the end of the night said, "American mild" on it. We started with the samosas. Good but a little too spicy.Garlic Naan - great but too small of a portion!Goat Saag - one of my favorite items to order but too spicy for American mild. Also, this dish is not very common so always happy to find a place that serves it but can't come back if it's too spicy. I did have it again the next day as leftovers at home. It's much more manageable if you eat it cold so that's what I did.Butter chicken - few places that we have visited make this particular dish spicy but this was. Service was good.Plenty of parking.Cute decor.Would love to come back but don't think we can handle all the spice.

This is the first Indian resturant I've been to in the DMV area. I like how fast and convenient it is to Togo food from here. This is just your classic go to place for me when I am are craving Indian food because it is close and good. I personally liked all the curries I tried here! I had the tiki malaise, butter chicken, and paneer. I can't remember what each tasted like because they have a similar taste. I would say compared to the price the portion size could be more.

Great food. We had chaat, idli, and dosa.Maharajah dosa - has lots of shredded veg inside - beets, carrots, coconuts. Sambar was tasty. Chutney is good. Cute decoration. I heard they cater office parties. We shared by 2 people. Ras malai dessert.

We got mixed vegetable Kurma (medium), butter chicken (medium), and vegetable biryani. My favorite was the butter chicken, I found the medium spice to be perfect without it being too spicy and flavorful! Second was the vegetable kurma was bursting in flavor with a good amount of vegetables. I wasn't a fan of the vegetable biryani because I found it bland and just limely but it came with a white sauce that I found myself being able to enjoying it more! I would say it is on the more expensive side but I still enjoyed every taste of it.

My parents wanted to try this place so we all went on a Monday and it was empty...but I had read all the reviews that said they had amazing food so wasn't scared about the lack of patrons.It's a pretty basic, low-key place and that's fine. Their menu is huge and covers all kinds of Indian food. My mom is an amazing cook so we were all skeptical about the food. We ordered so many things...and they were all amazing! We got samosa chaat, chicken biryani, Chinese Manchurian, Channa batura, paneer Kati roll and chicken Kati roll...wow, we rave about all of them! Our Indian food bar is pretty high and I'm happy to say we all loved their food and will definitely be back! Some of the prices did seem a bit high for the portion size but the food was worth it. Can of Limca for $4 was a bit much

Dosa and Chaat is a great tucked away spot in the kentlands. I've been here twice only and the waiter remembered us the second time. The food comes out piping hot and it's very much like Indian street food. I imagine I'm on the streets of India and enjoying fantastic bites as a sit at the table. I like this place for a no frills but delicious food location. I really enjoy this place.

This food is delicious, real mmmMedicine you can eat!They make a great masala dosa,chai,papadam,medhu vadai,hakka noodles (veggie),and so many other things I can't remember them all --because I've been eating here for years,and getting take-out for years,and finally have completed the newest task:got delivery from them via GrubHuband all options are fantastic!Eating there is really nice -- I like the décor and music ...and the service is very friendly, being both relaxed and speedy.I like the oh-so-pretty fabrics hanging from the ceiling ....They are accommodating, varying the spice level to the taste and need of the eater (customer!). :-D That's very good! Some Indian places will not do this, rending the food inedible for some ... such as my frequent dining partner!So, being able to say something needs to be mild is very important!Overall, not only is this an absolutely excellent place, it is my #1 favourite!Mmm, yummy, good, great, excellent! All-around YAY! :-DBonus: attached next-door, same-owners 'Hot Breads Bakery and Cafe' has some great desserts, including the terrific-tasting mango lassi ... okay, not sure of the name but it's a small cake-type very yummy-licious thing! I enjoyed the Black Forest cake, as well. I enjoyed all I tried but ... don't remember the names of all the yummy, yummy items! Mmm .... I can't wait to go back! :-D

Ordered the $17 butter chicken entree with a side of garlic naan. First off, the food was delicious. The sauce was spicy and flavorful and the chicken was tender and tasty. The garlic naan was only ok, I've had far better and I prefer when it's crispy instead of soft.My main complaint is the portion size-- it was abysmal. Upon opening it, I thought they must have made a mistake. When paying close to $20 for a meal, I expect to be satisfied at the very least. I'm extremely disappointed by this skimp "meal" as it felt more like a snack. Unfortunately, as much I enjoyed the food, the value was horrible so I will not be ordering from here again. There are plenty of other good Indian places that will give you a generous portion when paying $20+

Gaithersburg's Kentlands neighborhood has a LOT of restaurant choices. We decided to try someplace new and appreciated the atmosphere and warm greeting at Dosa & Chaat. I would definitely recommend it. The photo is of an unexpected and delicious appetizer. I got Saag goat, which was perfectly spiced.I had only a few items that weren't ideal. First, the server was a mumbler and nearly impossible to understand. Second, the entrees came mere moments after the appetizers, which always feels like they're rushing us out. (Give us time please!) Third, I'd love to see Maryland/local beers added to the menu.Other than that, the meal and venue were lovely; we'll be back!
