“Although a restaurant serving both Greek and Indian dishes may seem strange, do not let that deter you. This restaurant lives up to their name in quality and service. My daughter had a Gyro plate, while my wife and I had the Awadhi Jackfruit Korma and Peri Peri Kingfish. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely return!“

“Huge portions, reasonable prices, tasty food and excellent service .“

“Is mallcore back? After wandering the Burlington Mall in a haze of overstimulation and deal-hunting, we found ourselves at Gourmet India—a true hidden gem that offered exactly the refresh we needed.

First, let’s talk about the food court setup. Tucked just out of sight from the bustle of the stores, it feels like a quiet reprieve, with a massive skylight above that brings in natural light and a touch of calmness. The stalls are neatly lined up, which makes browsing easy and ideal for dividing and conquering with friends.

Now, onto Gourmet India itself. There’s something charming about the humble presentation here: dishes served in paper and Styrofoam on those red plastic trays, nostalgic of classic mall food but with a twist. We went for the 3-item platter with rice, garlic naan (grilled to order!), a mango lassi, and two pieces of gulab jamun—all for around $25, which felt like an absolute steal.

The flavors didn’t disappoint. Every bite felt homemade and genuinely crafted. The chicken tikka masala was the star of the show—tender, fragrant, and utterly satisfying.

Gourmet India didn’t just serve us a meal; it gave us the perfect mid-shopping recharge, reminding us of the joys of a low-key mall food court, just with a little extra warmth and flavor.“

“My review is solely focused on food. It’s hands-down one of the best Indian vegetarian food I’ve had in the Boston area. Vada Pav, Pav Bhaji, Samosa Chaat and Gobi Manchurian were all winners. I look forward to trying various other items from their menu. Highly recommend!“

“Outstanding Indian food, we are so lucky to have Masala in Union Square.“

“india Pizza in Lexington, MA - A Hidden Gem. I recently visited India Pizza in Lexington, MA, for the first time and wasn't sure what to order. I decided on fried chicken and fried vegetable rice, which turned out to be an awesome choice. The rice came out first, and it was fantastic. The chicken was perfectly crisp, just the way I like it, even though I didn't request it that way. The customer service was top-notch—very professional. I only interacted with one staff member, but the service was fast, and I didn't have to wait long for anything. I highly recommend you try their food. I'll definitely be coming back. Excellent service all around! I'm not a person who try different culture foods. The reviews sold me. The Service I received again was top notch 👌 👍“

“The food was wonderful. It was authentic. We lived in England for a year and my wife learned to cook Indian meals from 2 friends. A joy to taste authentic food again. 5 stars, A+, 100%!!

Kid-friendliness: Our 10 month old grandson ate everything they had that wasn't spicy and he did great.“

“Tashan is delicious Indian restaurant in New England area in Bedford. It was my 50 th birthday I celebrated at Tashan. It was amazing food with best complaints from the owners of the restaurant and staffs. Thank you so much to owner and staffs.?“

Vegetarian options: Try it !!“

“Great place. Food is great and family owned! 👏👍“

Dietary restrictions: Very accomodative

Kid-friendliness: Yes“

“Went out for a late night drive and was glad to have come across this place at midnight. Got a quick snack of samosas, masala chai and masala lassi. The service was fast and friendly.

This is a fast casual spot so the lassi came bottled and the chai came out of a dispenser machine. Everything was decent but nothing to write home about. The prices felt a little steep at $5 for a samosa and $4 for each drink.“

“I had an amazing experience with this restaurant . The customer service was outstanding, and the food was exactly what I was looking for. I was so pleased with the service .They went above and beyond to my expectations.“I was very impressed with the quality of the food I received. It was exactly what I was hoping for.” The samosa chat was extremely delicious. I highly recommend to try it.“

“We brought our toddler out to dinner here. When he was having a hard time, the very sweet and kind server offered to pack our food for takeout. She even brought it outside to us, across the street, with plates and utensils. The food was excellent as usual, but I cannot express how much the kindness and understanding of that server meant to us. Thank you! We will definitely be back more often (for takeout!)“

“This is the second time in one week my friend and I have chosen this restaurant as our destination for food, drinks, and merriment and we were not disappointed.The staff is a delight, both times we were greeted with a warm smile and they were very knowledgeable recommending dishes and levels of spice. The naan bread is delicious and the appetizers and entrees we ordered were amazing as well bursting with so much flavor. The cocktails were crafted with precision and so much passion from the wonderful bartender. The live music is great! We definitely recommend Chulo restaurant and plan on returning again and again!“

“We had pani puri here which was very forgettable and taste was lacking flavor. Puri were made with cheap substitute . You can buy pack of 3 puri(s) in costco for $7-8. I recommend using that and add bit more spices in pani puri. Samosa was good and appreciated the complimentary masala tea.“

“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. 🎁🎊“

“Love their dosa and chole bhature !!!!“

“Food was spectacular! Delivered right on time and hot! No problems at all. Truly authentic Indian cuisine, freshest spices, sauces. Multi-generational family owned. No BS! Service with smile and heart. If any companies want to go in on their food truck service after winter and are near to Stoughton (Randolph line) message me. I have about 30 employees but could use another 30 employees from another office to make it worthwhile to food truck. Their food is ‘fire’ but not too spicy! People who have never eaten Indian food were excited to try and enjoyed 💯. Thank you Singh Family!“

“The food is delicious and they are very efficient, with great service. Highly recommend the Chilli Paneer! They also don't skimp on the condiments, as some others do.“

“We had a fantastic meal. We ordered meal for two. Yummy!!“

“Such a great place! I haven’t had goat since I was in India and it tasted just like I was back there! Great mango lassi and chicken tiki masala too!“

“Excellent food, ambiance can be better. Good, pleasant and caring service. Worth visiting and excellent value.

Vegetarian options: Malai kofta and navarathna korma were excellent, good spices, nice aroma and tasty with either. rice or naan.

Parking: Pleanty of space around.“

“The staff couldnl't have been more gracious and friendly,,and the food absolutely super. Unlike most restaurants except for the most posh and expensive ones, the noise level is conducive to intimate conversation. Maharaja is now on my list of go-to places.“

“Wow!! Incredible food!! Definitely one of the best if not the best Indian food I’ve had in the Greater Boston Area. We got the paneer tikka masala with coconut rice and a cheese dosa to share and everything was absolutely delicious. The paneer tikka masala was so fragrant and flavorful and it was a perfect pairing with everything else we ordered. Dosas were definitely a lot bigger than I expected but it was a pleasant and welcome surprise. 10/10 recommend.“

“The food here is delicious and the service beautiful. We loved it! The lunch specials are not to be missed. Great value!“

“Delicious food, quality ingredients. Gracious service!“

“Always tasty food at a reasonable price 😊“

“We stopped for a quick lunch and not only was it quick, but it was DELICIOUS! The gardein vegetarian chicken tikka masala was perfect!“

“Aurora was a fantastic server!“

“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. The selection is larger and more interesting that at any other local restaurant, with a good selection of special dishes, breads, and dosas in addition to all the traditional dishes. There is an amazingly good selection of several draft and bottled beers (for example, Night Shift and Jacks Abby offerings on tap, and Dogfish Head and others in bottles), which is EXTREMELY rare for Indian restaurants, which usually serve the worst quality beers. Finally, the location (Arlington Center, with plenty of on street parking) and inside decor are great, with a modern and stylish interior with comfortable seating. The wait staff is always friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable. So, if you want to have the best experience in Indian dining (even if the dishes are a dollar or two more expensive), make Punjab your destination. I've been to dozens of other local Indian restaurants over the past 37 years and this is by far the best one!“

“My husband and I absolutely LOVED our meals. Looking forward to many future orders! Highly recommend the chicken tikka masala, veggie samosas, veggie momo, and chicken curry! Can’t wait to try more items on the menu next time :)“

“First time. Good choice. Well served. Worth a visit.“

“Amazon food every time. Buffet is fresh and hot and always changes“

“Owner Jaswant is amazing, chicken tikka masala is awesome. Food was fresh and good come check out this place amazing altogether.
10/10 owner is very nice clean and nicest place locally to eat Indian food in Malden. Came from Canada to try out this place. Highly recommend.“

“In six years living in the North Shore, our family has probably eaten here five times. We have enjoyed the food each time. Service is prompt and unobtrusive. Tonight we had Saag Paneer and Paneer Tikka Masala with garlic naan and chai. Fresh, warm naan is always tasty but at some restaurants as it cools it becomes doughy and tasteless. At Rang, the naan is good hot or cool. The curries were tasty and the medium spiciness was just right. The samosas had lots of stuffing, and the wrap was not oily (an issue at many).“

“Lovely people and a wonderful restaurant.
Their food is delicious and it’s only exceeded by their outstanding service! You cannot find better service and warmth than Punjab Express!
I love ordering from them!

10/10 ❤️❤️❤️“

“Quaint, great service. It was a little chilly. The food was 10/10!“

“We love Indian food and trying new places . Tonight was our first time here and it was so good. Do not be deceived by the empty restaurant! Take out orders we’re flying out of there while we sat. Our food took a while to come out but it was easily the best Indian food we’ve ever had. Paneer Manchurian, paneer tikka masala, paneer butter masala. All incredible. And wow the naan!!! The places we frequent don’t touch the quality of This food. And the best part? When you ask for mild and it comes mild! Incredible. Highly recommend.“

“Excellent buffet, along with excellent customer service and courteous demeanpr“

“I enjoyed lunch here today with an old friend. I had forgotten the name of the dish I wanted, but I was helped to identify it quickly. It was spicy (how I like it) and delicious!“

“If you are looking for authentic Indian food in and around Cambridge, Passage to India is an ideal option.

Nestled under the metro station, this place is smartly located enabling easy access.

As soon as you enter this place, you see all transparent glass walled restaurant. Staff is super polite, vibe is fresh and neat.

They have a fully stocked bar with scrumptious food (veg and non veg options).

They serve good cocktails and other drink options.

They have good array of tandoor, friend and traditional Indian entrees.

Must try.
