16 Best Indian Restaurants in Cambridge

“My fiancé and I went in for dinner and ended up being shocked on how empty it was. The food was amazing and the owner and his wife were incredibly kind. It’s definitely a new favorite and a must try for anyone looking for good food and a comforting environment“

“Living nearby, Kantipur has become my go-to every week for quarantine takeout. I've tried all the chicken dishes about 3 times by now and I still can't decide which is the best! But my favorite menu item is the vegetable pakora appetizer. Dip it in the chutney sauce and you'll understand. 🎁🎊“

“Went out for a late night drive and was glad to have come across this place at midnight. Got a quick snack of samosas, masala chai and masala lassi. The service was fast and friendly.

This is a fast casual spot so the lassi came bottled and the chai came out of a dispenser machine. Everything was decent but nothing to write home about. The prices felt a little steep at $5 for a samosa and $4 for each drink.“

“Aurora was a fantastic server!“

“We had a fantastic meal. We ordered meal for two. Yummy!!“

“I ordered delivery from here.
I LOVED the Meat Kofta Masala, Saag Paneer, and Spicy Chicken Chili!!! These dishes were absolutely amazing. So flavorful! I got the medium spice level which was not very spicy except the spicy chicken chili so might be braver next time. I also got Nan which was standard.

The lamb biryani was essentially flavorless. It was probably the worst biryani I’ve ever had the misfortune of eating.

I will be returning for the first three dishes.
If you like biryani, DO NOT ORDER IT FROM HERE.“

“I ordered food from Surya Indian Kitchen N Catering for the Boston Classical Guitar Society's Spring Festival, and I could not be happier! The food was delicious, and it arrived on time with plenty of plates, utensils, napkins, and serving spoons. And the price was very reasonable for the amount of food we received. The BCGS will certainly be ordering from Surya Indian Kitchen again! Thank you for the excellent food and service!“

“The food here is delicious and the service beautiful. We loved it! The lunch specials are not to be missed. Great value!“

“In my opinion, this is the best Indian restaurant in the Boston metropolitan area. The quality of the food is outstanding—every dish is full of rich, authentic flavors and clearly made with care and top-notch ingredients.

The food is on the spicier side, something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to heat. While the prices are on the higher end, I believe it’s worth it for the quality, taste, and overall experience.“

“First time. Good choice. Well served. Worth a visit.“

“The food was AMAZING!! Our server was quick and checked up on us frequently. If you are looking for quality Indian food I highly recommend coming here and having their pani puri! 100000000/10 would pay millions to come here for the first time again“

“Had been there for the Bollywood night on Friday.
Missing lot of food options.
Washroom needs remodeling (As men’s & women’s washroom door opens everything is open to others Eye. Need some sort of obstacle ).
DJ was fantastic loved the music.
Need bar stools as after dancing need to sit at bar & drink.
Need more tables & chairs.( suggestion: can start Hookah too).
Overall the place is fun with friends or as couple too & would definitely visit next time too.“

“It is good food. The lunch menu is a good price, and the seasoning was exactly what I imagined. I do wish they had put the cover on the containers fully. It spilled all over my front seat on my drive home. They put plastic wrap over it instead of sealing it with a lid.

It is a significant wait for the food (with nowhere there it was at least a 20-30 min wait for takeout) but the food was hot and fresh.“

“We primarily ordered North Indian fares and all dishes were superb. We especially loved the lamb & sheekh kababs, Vindaloo that came with the Nirvana dinner and the Fish pakoras. The owners were very nice too. Will highly recommend this place.“

“This is a great place for a quick bite. The food is good, big portions for reasonable prices.
We were a big group and everybody enjoyed their dish, which included vegetarian, kosher and halal options.
The place is located in an area called "the garage" and there are some tables, but not enough for a big group (we were more than 10).
The staff was patient with our big group, and that by itself made the experience so much better. Also, this is a sort of open kitchen and it was nice to see all the preparations.

Vegetarian options: There are many dishes with paneer. And it was really great.“

“The staff stayed up to attend to my order, and when it arrived from Uber Eats it was the best butter chicken I’ve ever had. Second place is my friend’s mom’s homemade butter chicken, which I thought couldn’t be beat… until now. It was just incredible. They could include more naan per order as well, 1 naan for $4 is a little much imo. But otherwise great.“
