Recently, I took a quick, one-day trip up to Washington, D.C. to explore the city’s Indian food scene, and of course, to check out some of the historical sites! Come along with me as I eat Indian food for 24 hours in Washington, D.C.
My day started at Saravana Palace in Fairfax, Virginia with my boy Kevin, who would be joining me on this Indian food adventure! They sell South Indian food, so I couldn’t wait to enjoy some dosas, idli, vada, and more!
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/...
There, we started on the paneer dosa, which I’d never had before. It was stuffed with paneer, vegetables, and herbs. It was amazing with the sambar-a little spicy, doughy, and creamy, and so flavorful! The coconut chutney was good enough to drink!
We also had mango lassi, which was thinner than other lassis I’d had and full of mango pulp and flavor. Next was the vada, which we dipped into all four dips! The combination was unreal and full of spice from the tomato chutney! It was also creamy and refreshing! The peanut chutney was thicker and nutty, but the coconut chutney was the best!
The idli soaked up the sambar and worked really well with the other chutneys, too. I loved it with the peanut chutney! Next, the uttapam contained tomatoes, peas, onions, cilantro, chilies, and herbs and was perfect with the coconut chutney. The Mysore dosa contained potatoes and was super savory and not too spicy.
Next was a massive puri with chole, which took me right back to Delhi. The doughy puri and chole with gravy, onions, and chilies was so authentic. Finally, the paper dosa with the coconut chutney was so crispy, and the peanut blew me away! Then, as we were leaving, they gave us gulab jamun and carrot halwa.
The gulab jamun was super sweet and syrupy, while the carrot halwa was crumbly, nutty, light, and tasty! Then, we headed to Butter Chicken Company in D.C.. Along the way, I tried a Limca soda and Thumb’s Up soda.
They only sell 300 orders per day at Butter Chicken Company, a fast casual lunch spot. I went with the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, chana masala, and veg biryani. The biryani was so minty and full of carrots, corn, and herbs. I also loved the chicken tikka masala and the light chana masala. Everything was amazing with some garlic naan!
Next, we took a break from eating and walked past the White House to the Washington Monument. Along the way, we passed the Department of the Treasury and Capitol Hill. We passed a field of flags of people who have died from COVID and then headed to the World War II Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial.
Then, after walking off our food, we drove through the Georgetown area to Bombay Street Food. We started with bhelpuri with mint and tamarind chutneys. It was light, refreshing and crunchy. The tamarind added some sweetness! Both chutneys together were incredible!
Their gobi Manchurian was both sweet and sour and had a nice, crispy texture. I cleansed my palate with some Taj Mahal beer and then jumped on the veg and non-veg thalis! The lamb rogaine josh was amazing and the raita cooled down my mouth. I loved the creamy saag paneer and the chicken tikka masala. The chana masala was really light and so tasty!
I also enjoyed the gobi Manchurian, and the naan with the juicy, tender lamb was excellent. The naan with the raita was also great and cooled down the heat in my mouth! The smoky and charred tandoori chicken was also melt-in-your-mouth amazing!
Last was the gulab jamun, which was a sugary syrup explosion in my mouth! What a way to end our Indian food tour!

About Me:
My name is David Hoffmann. For the last 13 years, I have been traveling around the world in search of unique culture, food, and history! Since starting David’s Been Here in 2008, I have traveled to over 1,200 destinations in 83 countries, which I welcome you to check out on my RUclips channel, travel blog, and social media sites.
I focus a great deal on food and historical sites, as you probably have seen! I love to experience the different flavors that each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining. I’m also passionate about learning about the local history and culture.
P.S. Thank you for watching my videos and subscribing!
My man! It was our pleasure to take you around the DC area. Can't wait for the next Collab 💪♥
You were awesome, man. You could open your own vlog channel, if you want to.
@@aman_s_96 Thank you, bhai. My wife and I do actually have a very small RUclips channel. m.ruclips.net/channel/UCg0Y7E0Yb2Wd1OXzyvHrnYg
@@jennyandkevin7163 Awesome! Subscribed. BTW, could have mentioned your channel in David's vlog, would help to gain some good subscribers.
@@aman_s_96 we appreciate it! Yes, for sure. David actually does mention our instagram handle in the video and description below. But, we did this because of our genuine love for the culture 🇮🇳🙏🏽 any support is appreciated ❤
Dude thank you so much! I appreciate every second you both gave to me 🙏 love you both!
Indian food is without a doubt, in my mind at least, the best cuisine on the planet! Can’t tell you how much I love these videos! Your guest is absolutely wonderful! You can really tell he loves the food!🤤🤤🤤
I sure did enjoy all the gluttony!! Glad you found the video entertaining
I totally agree with you
And some Americans are so afraid to try something new they think Indian food is boiling hot and terrible tasty what foods they be if this country didn't have new people coming in and showing us how to really eat and enjoy a pretty them all that will not sample and see if they like it if you like Mexican food and some other countries that are very hot well you'll be surprised about the beautiful spices coming from India it's such an experience
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!...The warm INDIAN hospitality makes you feel right at home....I CAN WATCH YOU EAT INDIAN FOOD FOR DAYS!!!
Yes sir it was an amazing day and Kevin and Jenny are amazing!
@@Davidsbeenhere Absolutely David...you Sir have inspired me to venture into new places...loved your Ukraine and Georgia series...I really wish more people watch your other vlogs coz they are remarkable 👍🏻🥰 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 🤗
Finally a man who is enjoying as much as David is enjoying..
By the way I can eat Dosa anytime and any meal.. 24x7😎

David, amongst all subscribers that you've brought over.. This dude takes the cake... He's knowledgeable about the foods and he has great communicating skills.. we need more of this dude..
Thank you! I really appreciate the comments. I'm just a normal indian guy that got this opportunity to showcase my food and culture in D.C. Much love ❤ 🙏🏽💪🏽
Very true.... Accurate and genuine reaction...
Agreed! Kevin 100% is by far the best. IDK why Indians tolerate mispronouncing the food when its not tolerated in some other cultures but Kevin did an amazing job.
@@irongrom0903 I did my best. Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate 🙏🏽
Hey...the loyalty you shows and the love and affection you shower on different food cultures of origin many countries....is awesome.
Thank you David for promoting Indian food.
Love and Respect from India.
Obviously, all the food looks amazing, but Kevin? is fine and his beard is gorgeous! Love how he takes great care to not get food in it while he's eating. His influence was a great addition.✌🏾🙏🏾

I know you're just too in love with Indian food that you comes up with these challenges often to eat them😉
ROFL that dosa tho... literal blanket of dosa - so down! LOL. Wow peanut chutney - interesting want to try! Glad you showed us around DC - been a while since I visited our great capital for sightseeing. Now I need to go back. Maybe I'll stop by the Indian spots you showed us. Didn't know there was a fast casual style Indian restaurant (reminds me of Halal guys restaurants) - $12 for a two dish meal - sounds great to me. So much food in this video hard to keep up but they all looked so good lol. Can't wait to try them all!
Yes sir it’s going to be fun this week 🙏
I guess you are global brand ambassador of our indian food. That's really makes us feel proud. Because when we say something about us it may look like brag but when a person from miles away from us says this it gives kind of genuine feel.
Ooooooohhhhhh plate full of Indian food makes me hungry again after having my meal .... 😍😍😍😍😍😍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐
Hey man!!!!!! So proud of you eating Indian food 😋❤️❤️❤️❤️
Indian food is not just restricted to North or South. There are various dishes to try from East , North east and west as well.
Love u david from nepal..hope u will visit our country one day❤❤❤
The Indian Restaurant in Fall Church Virginia in the Giant Foods shopping center I think it's called Haandi is Really Really good
1:26 damn you got your tongue rolling SAAMBHARR..that hit hard 😂 i can feel more south indian in you there
Yeah!! That's how you pronounce Lassi!! Thrilled to hear you say that!! Keep Going David! Love your videos!!! ❤️🤩👍👍👍
I laugh so hard at him saying Sage paneer! gets me every time!
Love from Gujarat India ❤️🙏🏿
Nothing like a south indian breakfast Dosas , Idli and Uttapams 😋🤗
South Indian food is best for breakfast ever... 😍😍😍
Ur cinematography is next level 🔥🔥🔥
What's better than starting your day with David's video ... With so many tasty dishes 😋
Seeing the saravana palace reminds me of the incident.
David, I saw many videos of yours and thought of recommending... Dosa or Dose should be eaten hot or as soon as they are brought in to avoid that Sogginess... You would love it!
And yes, love all your videos and am very happy to see how you explore Indian Restaurants in the US and educate and involve other people and give them a good guide of Indian food...
It’s really nice to see you guys enjoying Indian food. Yammy
My cousin lives like down the street from that Saravana Palace I might go there 😎
That breakfast reminds me of the videos from Hyderabad. Chutmey's, ram ki bandi and minerva coffee shop. Love from Andhra Pradesh, India.
It was an enjoyable experience watching this video. Maybe do more Collab you two?
Hopefully 😁
always eat food having gravy, when it's not too hot, you can enjoy and feel the goodness, but when hot we just try to swallow asap and we just rotate it too much around our mouth, so not able to enjoy the food🙌
Too too good what food man I thoroughly enjoyed 👍🌺💐
India, India, India, India, India everywhere. Without India you are nothing.
I watch this video at 4 am and I am literally cravings for all this but will have to wait till evening to get to a restaurant and have all such delicacies🤤Why did U reminded me of dosa at this hour of the day😂😅
Chicken dish is $12... that's almost Rs900 in India...I can buy entire menu here
Tho lena....
Food is expensive om the US. I usually pay $18 for butter chicken.
5 course meal possible in 900 rupees or 12$
all are are looking very delicious but especially dosa like your video

Damn bro...u r killing me and dying to eat this much food...still having watering in my mouth bro...
I have watched all your videos ❤️ lot's of love from india ❤️
Did my undergrad at GWU and Butter Chicken Company came about during my senior year. I went almost every week and I would’ve gone more times, if not for COVID causing us to be sent home in March 2020.
They have so many choices. Do you even need to go to India? 😂
LOL! You mastered paper dosa eating technique
You should try eating Indian food varieties in Bay Area and Dallas … lots of authentic Indian restaurants
Wow really super bro❤✌🏻
INDIAN FOOD IN AMAZING FOOD❤😋😋
Wonderful video!
Paneer is not cottage cheese though. It’s it’s own kind of milk, cheesy dish.
Hey David, heres a Idli Pro Tip: Try Ghee on Steaming Hot Idlis and Thank me Later :D
Awesome you visited the DMV , my area! Also, There are a ton more varieties of Indian sweets then just gulab jamon. I hope you get to try other kinds.

He looks like Dr.Yesudas.
David....long video is the best. 40 minutes went by without noticing it.
Greetings from Toronto 🇨🇦🙏
Hi Jeevan, I was born in Uttarakhand and raised in the DMV area. I appreciate the compliment tho 😀
Oh man now I have to eat Dosas
Thumbs Up is way better than coca-cola...coz it has higher concentration of Co2...so its stronger...specially in kolkata its always Thumbs up.
Hey David, @10:28 that's not Puri 🤪 it is north indian dish called Chole Bhature.
Love ❤️❤️ from Bangalore
Bhatura
Big fan from delhi, India 😘
