Chennai Hoppers - Gaithersburg

Must try place for authentic Chennai food! Ceylon parotta and chicken curry were excellent! Good ambience too!

Between the four of us we ordered samosa. It was superb. Appam: superb. Masala dosa superb except for the sambar which needs to be thinned down. The last thing ordered was Rogan Josh. Please reduce the amount of cloves and other whole cardamom in it. It was terribly thick.apart from that it was insanely spicy. The waiter asked us if we want the mutton spicy or mild. We told him spicy, but we did It to be so spicy that we could not even eat 3 tablespoons of it. None of us are ever going back to this place and I’ll tell my friends and office workers the same thing. As a chef Know what spicy means it does not mean to put so much spice that it becomes unbearably hot. It needs to be enough so that you feel the spice in your mouth of warm feeling but the way you put it. It was life eating fire. I wonder who is in charge of the kitchen.

Food was amazing but we asked our waiter/waitress if they get to keep the tips and they said the owner keeps it. That's why i am taking 1 star off. Please give the waiters/waitresses their tips. This is illegal and considered wage theft.

Must go place in DMV region.Parking: 2 hr free parking available

Food was flavorful and fresh. presentation was creative and a
