Chennai Express Restaurant

Amrith Sagar

Great spot to get your dhosa fix!! The dhosa is massive and cooked perfectly. It has the crispy cracker-like texture you are looking for on the outside and as you get to the center, its fluffy and pancake-like with the signature tangy taste you get from the fermented urad daal batter. I got the masala dhosa and the masala potatoes were perfectly cooked and spiced! It comes with two different chutneys - the mint cilantro chutney was bright and refreshing and the peanut chutney was the perfect contrast with it being spicy, rich and creamy. The dhosa also comes with two lil sides of sambar, packed full of veggies. The sambar is a little salty, but then again, what sambar isn't! If you're looking for a nice South Indian meal and want to satisfy that dhosa craving you've been having for a while, Chennai Express is the place to go :)

Rohini Yalamanchilli

The best goat biryani. Nicely made, home style. Small dine in area. Indian home snacks are available to buy with some stuff to buy like authentic sesame oil. Restroom and the dine in area is okay, might need rearrangement. Host is good.

This is one of my favorite restaurants before, where I travel 30+ miles to pick it up. But last 2 times it went worse where all my order was so spicy that I have to throw most. I ordered medium though but I am sure it is even next level to spicy and it’s not the first time.

Prathamesh Shinde

Amazing Ghee Masala Dosa. But the prices are way off. 15 bucks with tax for Dosa is too much. The sambar is better than most in DC area. The chai has too much spice and not enough tea taste. If the price is lowered to the original level then this will be one of the better restaurants in entire DMV
