Bourgy Georgetown is the unlikely home of Amma Vegetarian, a second-story South Indian hole-in-the-wall with rock bottom prices and magnificent dosas. Amma is not the place to take a date—unless they are impressed by styrofoam plates and plastic cups. But this restaurant serves consistently delicious food that’s easy on the wallet. The dining room itself is tucked away towards the west end of M Street, and can be difficult to find initially as it’s on the second floor. The service can be unpleasant at times, extremely accommodating at others, and the décor is minimalist—which is to say, barebones. All that being said, the food is the #1 draw here, and the atmosphere is wonderful for those who appreciate character and need a break from the ostentation of Georgetown.
