Balaji Cafe, Southern Indian Vegetarian Restaurant - Sunset Park Drive in Herndon

[TheGut]

I first heard about this vegetarian Indian restaurant back in April but never had an opportunity to check out the place until today.  This place is located in Herndon off of Fairfax County Parkway.  If you are on the toll road you can take the exit for Fairfax County Parkway.

There was a steady stream of customers during lunch time.  I decided to go with the masala dosas and channa bhatura.  The dosa was spot on.  Probably one of the better dosas I have had in the DMV.  I was not that impressed by the Channa Bhatura.  I think the version at Punjabi by Nature is better.

If you are vegetarian or looking for something besides the usual kabob joints, I would give this place a look.  Tim Carman of the Washington Post recently did a write up on the place.
