People are debating why these Indian meals were renamed and criticising the restaurant's high costs on social media.
"Dunked Doughnut Delight" is the name given to a bowl of vada dipped in spicy sambhar at Indian Crepe Co in Seattle, which costs $16.49. Similarly, the plain dosa has been categorised as "Naked Crepe" (plain dosa) and "Smashed Potato Crepe" (masala dosa). The one with potato filling costs a dollar more than the first at $17.59.

According to the dish's description, "Crisp rice batter crepe served with a lentil soup, a tangy tomato and classic coconut relish." And there is also a "Cheesy Masala Crepe".
"Sacrilege! When we are calling a pizza a pizza everywhere in the world! Why not dosa?" a user asked on Twitter. "Naked crepe has same vibe as that of 'Zinda Rice'," said another.
"Some how those names makes sense. They named it in a way Americans can understand," said another.
