    Dhamaka means blast 💥. It’s part of unapologetic Indian cuisine, hence the dishes are from different regions of India without changing them for the American palate. They can be nearest to the real thing.

      It’s called a dosa, kinda like a savoury pancake it’s so light and crispy and buttery and just pure goodness. It comes with a tamarind tomato-y lentil soup called sambar and coconut chutney.

    Just to be clear, while Semma & Dhamaka are both Indian restaurants their menus are NOT based on the same regions of India.
    Dhamaka is a pan-Indian restaurant while Semma's menu is based on Southern Indian cuisine, not Pan-India.
    So I don't think its fair to be clumping them into the same comparison category
    Indian food is VERY DIVERSE and ranges VASTLY from region to region. North Indian & South Indian food are worlds apart and so is Northeastern, Eastern, and Western Indian food. They are all amazing in their own way, you wouldn't compare them.
    Same with Semma & Dhamaka, they're both serving very different but amazing food in their own way, and each needs to be enjoyed for its own rich and unique variety of food.
    There is neither a way nor a reason to COMPARE.
    Just enjoy the food.
