Indian Street Food in the DC area

Mysore Masala Dosa
Bindaas
3309 Connecticut Ave. NW
Washington, DC 20008


In 2000s, Indian street food would have been quite a rare sight in the DC area. This scarcity of Indian fast food options appears to be coming to an end, as we recently discovered two places that specialize in Indian street cuisine.

The first, Bindaas, is a fairly new Indian restaurant located in the District. We tried their brunch menu on a Sunday - bhel puri, pao masala omelette, and chicken kathi roll with chai. The menu also featured some South Indian comfort dishes such as uttapam. The food was authentic and generally well-executed. Recommended.

The other restaurant was located in the Tysons mall next to the newly opened American Tandoor, Street Kitchen serves dosas and kathi rolls. The rolls were edible although an indian palate may not think of them as authentic. We also tried their mysore masala and chicken dosa and were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. A new addition to their menu is Masala chai (Indian spiced tea), which is great.
