Best Indian food in Massachusetts!!
This is clearly the best Indian food in the greater Boston area by a long mile. All the dishes have perfect consistency, are very tasty and aromatic, have fresh ingredients, and have a special savory quality above other Indian restaurants. Also, the chefs will make the food based on your preference of spiciness (and I've actually ordered vindaloo, which is supposed to be spicy, in other local restaurants that was served mild!) no matter what the dish.

#PunjabArlington is happy to serve the finest #IndianFood recipes from Northern India, where the owners were born. The same fresh ingredients, herbs, and spices used in the #restaurant have been practiced by many generations of #Punjabis.
Two of my favorites are Punjab's #Tandoori #MixedGrill and #Methi #Chicken #Kadai (a special order item).

Punjab is a popular Indian restaurant known for its carefully layered spices in dishes like baingan bharta and tikka masala. Customers love the dairy-free options like the tikka masala, which is particularly praised for its rich flavor. The naan and paratha are delicious, with garlic naan and aloo paratha being favorites among diners. Some wish the lamb was more tender and the saag less cream-forward, but overall, the vegetarian options are plentiful and clearly marked. The portions are on the smaller side, but the food is so good that customers often want more. The restaurant is clean and accommodating, making it a popular spot for many. Recent reviews highlight the excellent Indian food, with some considering it among the best in the Boston area, especially noting the flavorful tikka masala sauce. The kitchen with its tandoor ovens is visible behind a glass wall, which kids enjoy watching. Visitors also appreciate the south Indian dishes like masala dosa. The staff, including bartenders and waiters, are attentive and friendly. The restaurant is a great choice for celebrations or casual dining, although some find it distracting when children run around during busy hours. Overall, Punjab remains a favorite for its tasty food and welcoming atmosphere.
