50 Best Indian Restaurants near Burlington

“It is really good good with good quantity Very friendly staff and good at explaining their menu Must try“

“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.“

“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.?“

“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.“

“I would give them 10 STARS if I could. I just enjoyed the best Indian food in Boston. I am Indian, and I know good Indian food. I met the owner today and he just bought this restaurant 3 weeks ago. It's now called Spirit Of India. They have tons of vegan and vegetarian options too. I encourage you to try them out. You won't regret it.“

“Everytime I visited Himalayan Kitchen, I feel like I am home. Their hospitality, foods are awesome. Many more to say..it has the best taste of the Nepali food! Just explore..“

“Amazing and authentic south Indian food. We had kuzhi paniyaram, podi dosa, egg kothu parotta and parotta with chicken salna - everything tasted great , fresh and felt like you would have it in home.

Highly recommend this restaurant“

“Cute place !! food amazing so far what we tried !!. Prices very reasonable. I haven’t had this alo bodi tama since katmandu closed across the street. Looking forward to trying the lunch menu soon and let y’all know!

Vegetarian options: Try it !!“

“Very satisfying food and great service. I got the lamb momos (very meaty big dumplings!) and lamb korma (creamy, nutty curry). I was afraid it would be too much lamb but the flavors of each were different and delicious.

The garlic naan was just how I like it: soft and thick (even the thinner parts were nicely doughy; I don't like when it's crispy and very thin).

The mango lassi was perfect: not overly sweet, very mango-y.

It all came with a rice plus nice little spiced rice pudding on the house!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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. 🎁🎊“

“I’ve passed by a million times and never tried it, but now I really regret it. That was easily the best Indian food I’ve had in Boston. The restaurant is never crowded which is a little offputting, but the food is delicious. I’ll absolutely be going back. Be warned that “spicy” is REALLY spicy.“

“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!)“

“Gave it 4 stars as I got a chicken lunch box and there was only 3 chicken chunks. The taste however was fantastic. The curry chicken and veggie samosa was well worth it. Would have been 5 stars had there been more protein. Great lunch for sure with super taste.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“Great food, great service“

“You have to visit this Indian restaurant, by far best Indian food I have had in the US. Be careful with asking for spicy food, the chef is tuned to adjust spice level as per Indian pallet.

Great food, polite staff, we had Punjabi Kadi, Bartan bhartha and mango moose.

Definitely recommend.

Vegetarian options: They have rich spread of vegetarian options.“

“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 :)“

“It is one of the best places for South Indian vegetarian varieties.
I love the taste of Sambhar and special tomato chutney (surprisingly, I have not seen this type of chutney anywhere else!)
Yes, it takes time to prepare Rava Dosa, so be prepared to wait for a bit for hot and crispy Rava Dosa.
My favorite restaurant!

Vegetarian options: All types of Dosa, Idli, Wada plus North Indian Menu.“

“Aurora was a fantastic server!“

“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.“

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

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

“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).“

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

“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!“

“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 ❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“Nirvana is one of our favorite Indian restaurants. We dine here often. The food is consistently good, the service is fine, and the ambiance is nice. We wish those large TVs over the bar were not there. No one seems to watch them, but they distract.“

“The staff stayed up to attend to my order, and when it arrived from Uber Eats it was the best butter chicken I’ve ever had. Second place is my friend’s mom’s homemade butter chicken, which I thought couldn’t be beat… until now. It was just incredible. They could include more naan per order as well, 1 naan for $4 is a little much imo. But otherwise great.“

“Absolutely fantastic in every way. I had great service and the food was simply out of this world delicious. the goat curry is a must try.“

“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!“

“This Indian food was good . The mango ? Lassi was absolutely delicious. The friendliest people serving the food . I met them at the “ Copley Farmers Market “. Parking ?️ you have the option of looking for meter parking or parking in the garage which is less than 1/2 block and is a reasonable price . The price of the food is good for the quality and portion size .

Parking: Paid parking less the 1/2 a block the price is reasonable. Or you can look for meter parking but it’s a bit difficult .“

“This place was great!! Highly recommend! Awesome atmosphere!“

“nette Bedienung,Essen lecker“
