This was my first time in a very long time that I went for lunch. Usually, it's dinner. They had an extensive buffet, which I'd like to try some day.“

“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. 🎁🎊“

“Madras Dosa Company, or “MDC” as we lovingly call it, is a comfort spot I would go to every day if I could. I’ve been going here for years now, bringing many different friends and family, with the utmost confidence that it will hit the spot each and every single time. The paneer canteen sandwich is my personal favorite (the chips and sauce accompany the sandwich so perfectly 👌🏾), but I’ve loved everything I’ve gotten including the potato sandwich, all of the chaats, dosas, vadas (the rasam is so flavorful and reminds me of home), and of course the many and salt lassis. I cannot say enough positive things about the lovely people who work here, who always greet me and my others warmly and welcomingly, and they even recognize me and my orders now (and that’s not just because I’m a frequent customer)! The atmosphere is also so warm, with Bollywood and Hollywood classics playing in the background and cool interior decoration. It’s also such a plus that MDC is open late so it satisfies that late night craving while being insanely yummy. The fact that I still bring close and new friends here these many years later shows how much confidence I have in the quality and warmth of MDC, and I hope this can continue for many years to come!!“

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.

“Honestly in the top tier for Indian food that I've had, and that's comparing it to the UK and middle east. It's clean, consistently good, great portion sizes, and is affordable. Each person has their Indian restaurant that they swear by, but the quality here is much better than a lot of Indian restaurants in the area. Store itself is cash only, but you can pay by card online. There's a BoA ATM nearby. And since they redone the street, there's a lot of seating area outside, or inside at the store. 100/10.“

“coming to the usa, i honestly didn’t think i’d find a place that comes this close to indian flavours, but this one genuinely did. i’d say a solid 97–99% match, and that’s saying a lot. one bite in and it took me straight back to india. the plastic spoons, paper plates, and that proper dhaba-style setup just made it feel even more real. the street-style food is done SO right. the kind of food that satisfies your soul, not just your hunger. the chilli garlic noodles were unreal, and the chicken lollipop omg absolute must-try. every bite felt comforting, nostalgic, and so so satisfying. if you’re missing india or craving real street food vibes, this place will hit you right in the heart. highly recommend 🤍“

Biryani

“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.“

“I met the owner chef a little more than two years ago he’s been in business for a total of nine years. His store is so busy. I cannot begin to tell you how great a job he does. It’s like organized chaos when I first started going there. He had two or three orders on the front counter now he has at least 15 or 20 every time I walk in the door. He is so nice so friendly no matter how busy he is always a big hello in the smile very very nice person. If you like Indian food, This is definitely the place for You Magazine St., Cambridge near Cambridgeport. He goes on several different namesin the computer so make sure you check it out“
