“Absolutely delicious food and attentive service! This is a beautiful, clean, bright restaurant with amazing food made to your spiciness request. Portions are large and we ended up taking home enough for lunch tomorrow. Thank you!“

“i love their food and so is family i highly recommend them“

“Dinner party for 8, we were a little late but they were very accommodating. We started with Samosas which came with two sauces a chutney and sweet. For entrees, I had the Chicken Biriyani, Chicken Cochin Curry, Palak Paneer, and the Rogan Josh Goat Curry with Garlic Naan. The curries came with a small bowl of white rice. My favorite curry was the Rogan Josh Goat Curry. The meat was tender with spices nicely infused to create a wonderful and smooth taste. I also ordered a Masala Chai which was the perfect temperature to sip! Overall a fantastic experience and would highly recommend. I will be coming back again!“

“Wow tikka, was wow! Had ordered kachori chaat and Vada pav, lassi and masala tea. Kachori chaat was the best ever kachori I have had in the US so far. Vada was a bit salty and they can better it. Comes in quantity of 2 both the items. Kachori chat is enough for one person though. Lassi and masala tea was fine.

Good for price, clean and enough sitting inside and outside.

Vegetarian options: Indian street food, curries etc.“

“*rating for Momos only
I tried Momos for the first time
So the server helped me picked up from the menu
I tried Tandoori Momos and it was sooooo good, had to do a takeaway too
Biryanis we ordered were not to the point
They have room for improvements“

“Grew up eating this cuisine and have been trying to find a place with the food and flavor I grew up enjoying. This restaurant has everything I remember and more. If you’re looking for a restaurant that gives you an authentic Indian experience this is the place to try. You won’t be disappointed“

“1st time.... I'll be back.“

“Vaisakhi is the breath of fresh air that the restaurant scene in this little corner of Brighton and all of Cleveland Circle needs. Finally a sit down, casual Indian place that's reasonably priced and doesn't require half an hour each way on the T to get to! Even on their first day open, their food is better than several of the Indian restaurants in the Boston area that I've eaten at. Tucked away across from the Sutherland Road T stop, you can follow your nose to the doorstep of the restaurant. The interior tastefully restrained, bright colors and some simple paintings above the booths. The space is small, but not cramped and the booth seating at least was very comfortable. The three gentlemen who own/run the front of the house are eager to please. We were seated right away and given water and menus. The menu is comprehensive without being too large and confusing. The vegetarian, and meat sections are both equally sized, so there's plenty of options for both vegetarians and meat eaters alike. My wife and I started out with the vegetable pakoras. These little fritters of batter and veggies were served hot, with a little bit of salty spice powder and dipping sauces. The crunchy shell pairs nicely with the soft veggies inside and tastes amazing when you put a bit of the red onion chutney on it. For our main course we ordered the saag paneer and the dal makhani, two of our favorite vegetarian dishes in Indian cuisine. The dal makhani was subtle, not overly spiced and not overly rich like many I've had. The lentils weren't rock hard or cooked into mush. The star of the show was definitely the saag paneer though. The saag was so wonderfully rich and smooth and spiced perfectly, and the paneer was the perfect texture, not too soft and mushy and now dry and crumbly. We decided to leave room for some desert and tried both the gulab jamun and the kheer. The kheer was a bit under seasoned for my taste, not enough rose water or cardamom and a bit on this thin side, but it served as a nice palate cleanser. The gulab jamun was excellent, the syrup not too sweet or floral and the balls had a nice subtle flavor to them as well. I'm lucky enough to live right around the corner from Vaisakhi, but I would gladly travel a lot further for this food.“

“It is a small restaurant with a fast casual vibe with a variety of fillings for dosa. Masala Dosa was not the crispiest or thinnest as it is supposed to be but it tasted good. The Sambar was ok but the coconut chutney was amazing. Just felt like the chutney portion and sambar portion were too small compared to dosa or a plate of Idly.
We went on Friday afternoon for lunch and it was crowded as their is limited seating inside the restaurant.
Overall, not the best but if you are craving South Indian food then it's good enough to satisfy your taste buds.
Disclaimer - they don't serve uttapam or medu vada on their menu.

Vegetarian options: Menu is not completely vegetarian. They do serve meat and egg toppings on dosa“

“I could eat the Curry Goat every single day. You have to get it hot! The Garlic Naan or the Papadam with a glass of wine while I wait is the way to go! 5 out 5“

“Best lunch buffet. I especially like the Palak Paneer (cottage cheese and spinach).“

“Best Indian food in the grester Boston area! It's like eating in Punjab, India.“

“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.“

“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.“

“went for my first mother's day with my husband ajd baby and we got our dosa and chicken curry right away. great! then we got our garlic naan and it was old and hard like it was from the buffet earlier and you can't tell me I'm wrong. I had nothing to eat my chicken curry with since I was just using the dosa to dip in the curry while I'm holding my baby at the same time. my night was ruined so thank you for making me not come back !! I am so upset because I picked aaha over paradise biryani point and with I wouldn't have come here. we drive a long ways to come here usually and never again!!!!!!“

“Wow, terrific flavors! We very randomly stumbled into this plain little storefront because a different restaurant in the area had too long a wait. Midday on a Friday and Halal Indian Restaurant was empty of even delivery pickups, so we weren't expecting much... and we changed our order from eat-in to takeout because it was too cold to sit there. I use veg biryani as a barometer, and this did not disappoint! Fresh spices of cinnamon, clove and cardamom were very evident. My mother ordered mushroom palak which was surprisingly addictive -- she says "a joy to eat" . The basmati rice wasn't great (but I've had worse). This chef needs his food to be recognized! Perhaps sprucing up the place with some murals would help draw in the crowds. Eat here!!“
