A classic hole in the type of place! The Indian Chinese here is great. I highly recommend fried rice. The kitchen is clean and the wok is spinning fast. I would go here more often if I lived near by.

Great food! We had pav bhaji, tea & paneer tikka. Quick and friendly service. It's in a shared space in a common are there is a restroom in the building but that requires a key.

Food was delicious, friendly service, served quickly.
I’m not sure I would eat here again because the place was so filthy. It looked like the only thing ever wiped down was the top of the tables, not that they just hadn’t wiped off from the lunch crowd- I’m talking about months of accumulated grime. Even the back of chairs had old food splashed all over them. I don’t think my pictures show the true nastiness of the situation.
The chairs looked like they haven’t had a good wipe down in years!
If this is how they clean the front of the shop I can only imagine the cooking area.

Best indo Chinese food I had till now in the US. The prices are perfect and the taste wood remind you Indian street food and take you home. Please give it a try. Nobody talks about it but it is better than the indo Chinese I had at a famous restaurant at New Jersey.

Stopped in here in July 2025 during the 4th of July weekend. I lived in the area and recalled this place. I decided to try it out again. The food is dependable and exceptional in my opinion. Priced nicely and fresh. The menu items are typical Indian cuisine regulars so nothing to be surprised by. This is in Harvard Square area and can be busy depending on the time of the day or week. The service is counter service. Order, and wait for the food. There is limited seating but ample to have a quick bite. Service is as expected. Good and efficient. Recommended to try it out if in the area. A good way to bridge the gap of good Indian college town style.

Went to chutneys with high expectations. Disappointed that they are running a restaurant in US so filthy and unclean. Tables were not cleaned, floor was unclean. The kitchen looked very unclean and the cook was not wearing any head gear.

I ordered the chicken lollipops, and I can confidently say it was one of the worst dishes I've ever eaten. The chicken was dry, overcooked, and lacked any real flavor. Instead of the juicy, crispy texture you expect from a well-made lollipop, it was tough and greasy with an odd aftertaste. The coating was soggy, and the seasoning was either completely missing or done poorly. Extremely disappointing—definitely not worth the price

This is a great place for a quick bite. The food is good, big portions for reasonable prices.
We were a big group and everybody enjoyed their dish, which included vegetarian, kosher and halal options.
The place is located in an area called "the garage" and there are some tables, but not enough for a big group (we were more than 10).
The staff was patient with our big group, and that by itself made the experience so much better. Also, this is a sort of open kitchen and it was nice to see all the preparations.
Vegetarian options: There are many dishes with paneer. And it was really great.
