20 Best Indian Restaurants in Boston

“The Globe was right...

I've had a lot of good meals in my life. But I've had few great meals. My first time at Aatma was one of those meals.

I cannot give enough praise for the brilliant chefs at Aatma. This is undoubtedly the best tasting and most creative food you will find in Boston.“

“Heard a lot of good things about this place. Overall, the food, service and atmosphere were great but nothing in particular was outstanding to me. Dishes are on a bit pricer end and they do not come with rice or nan. You have to order them separately so if you want to order a curry, it would come out to around $30-$40 with add-ons, tip and taxes.“

“Namaste Boston was fantastic! The Chicken 65 was flavorful, and perfectly spiced, and the Aloo Tiki Chaat was delicious with the perfect balance of savory, tangy, and creamy flavors. The biryani was also excellent—fragrant, flavorful, and a generous portion.

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and came together for a great meal. Definitely a spot I’d come back to and highly recommend!“

“I have tried almost every Indian restaurant in Boston and this place has got me hooked. I have lived in India for 15 years and love Indian food and this place has the most authentic taste from what I have had in India. Highly recommend! 🤝💪“

“Wooow!! Every bite was amazing… the lamb mushroom masala 🔥😤🔥 the noodle 😍 and everything else was just sensational!! My stomach, body and soul right now overall 😁 💯🏆🥇🏆“

“Yummy food with nice atmosphere . Have so many little corners that you would love to click with .“

“Food was good, service was nice“

“I cant thank enough of the generosity of the owner from this place. We arrived late in the night and we couldn’t get to the food in time and the owner waited for us an extra 30 mins at 2 AM in the morning. We were losing our minds as we’re very hungry. And the food was just amazing. Momos and the hot sauce was the star. Kathi Roll was also good. Will definitely visit again if it fits our schedule.“

“Kahani was fun, friendly and delicious. The delightful atmosphere along with the knowledgeable service, particularly because we are vegan made the evening special. The staff were all cognizant of our preference and the food was presented with color and flare. The flavors had the authenticity of Mumbai although a little less spicy , making it a treat for palette. The beetroot kebab as a tasteful twist and was a wonderful start. The paratha was exceptional and went well with the tadka dal. The finishing touch was the carrot halwa - not to be missed! A great place for a fun evening, a group event and an office party!“

“Visiting Boston with my wife for a few days and we dined at Shanti. What a great find, cosy atmosphere, good menu, excellent food and first class service. Strongly recommend to all!“

“I love Ali Roti since the 1980’s. Fresh food good flavor and family owned. Delicious food to top my cravings.“

“I did not grow up eating dosa, I am not a dosa expert and cannot attest to authenticity, etc.

What I can say is that at 2:30am, after a long night celebrating a friend's wedding, the bright lights of Madras Dosa gleamed, a shining beacon amidst the row of empty kitchens closed for the night.

In that context, this place was a gift from whatever force or deity watches over those who have spent a long night celebrating lustily, and who are in need of something hearty and nourishing to help us digest the night's libations.

Multiple times since stopping at Madras this past weekend I've turned wistfully to my wife to say we need a late night dosa place in our town. Five stars in my book.“

“The food was excellent. There was a fair amount of heat and spice, but it was balanced nicely with well-developed flavors. Even on a 95 ° f day, outside dining was comfortable because of the strong cross breeze and shade.“

“Really enjoyed my experience at Mela. The food was tasty and the fresh, the service was welcoming. A great place if you're looking for quality Indian cuisine in Boston.“

“Food was delicious and I’ll definitely be back.“

“One of best economical Indian food in Massachusetts and taste is consistent almost every time and 5 vegetarian options every day and their chappathi is the best and their pickle one of fresh ones . They also have 5 non veg options too and biryanis. Before combo costs around 14 dollar for two curries and Jeeva rice with 2 big chappathis or Naana and their Naan is the softesr I ever had and they also had papad

Best combo vegetarian restaurant with vegan options good job

Improvements : They bakado needs improvement since it oily in the last few months and they should not have only one or two daily items in veg options else it is tough for vegans“

“I have been in this retaurant many many times for lunch buffet. They have great Pakistani food at buffet for very reasonable price. I would highly recommend to enjoy their Buffet. I believe that they serve lunch buffet 7 days a week.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing Indian fast food with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. The food was delicious, served hot, and prepared quickly. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service. Great place for a quick meal without compromising on taste and quality. Highly recommended!“

“I have been going to this place for over 25 years. When it started in Jamaica plain me and my family who are from the West Indies as well have love going to this place when we could which was usually every weekend. Getting one of JP roti roti on a Saturday was everything to me. Thank you for providing amazing service and grapefruit for all these years I am from Trinidad as well and I am a full support of you guys. Funny fact is it's Saturday while I'm leaving this review and I just left there I have a roti warm on my passenger seat
Lol well it's a half roti but you get the gist.“

“My wife and I came in before a concert at MGM Music Hall for a great meal— tasty and unique tropical cocktails, incredibly well-seasoned and beautifully prepared dishes (smash burger for me: get the spicy fries! and the ramen for my wife) and awesome service. 10/10! We’ll be back soon.“
