I found this sweet little place absolutely charming. The naan was excellent - light but with a crispy char that ballooned up into an excellent sccop for the delicious sauces. We had bindi and butter chicken and a lamb curry. So good! Complexly spiced yet the heat didn’t overwhelm our friend with a sensitive palate. I would definitely recommend. (Caveat: I am not of Southeast Asian decent but eat the cuisine in New York and Detroit and San Francisco quite a bit.)

Best Indian food I've had in Boston. Restaurant was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday afternoon, but the $25 lunch menu option is such a great deal. Everything was delicious, my partner and I are already planning our next visit.

I enjoyed the food gear for the first time and will come back for sure. Very fresh clean environment and the food was spectacular with a good curry spice and very authentic rice and vegetables.
