It was empty on a Sunday afternoon, so we were seated right away. Our server was friendly, and the food came out in a timely manner (10-15 minutes). We ordered the tandoori chicken momo ($10.95 for 8 pieces), chicken korma ($14.95), lamb korma ($15.95), and chicken tikka masala ($15.95). The food was good overall, but the flavors were not bold enough. Even hot tasted more like mild, while mild was not spicy at all. The portions were also small for the price--the main dishes had enough sauce, but there were not that many chunks of meat. However, the chicken for my dish was tender. The tandoori momos also had a nice crispiness. I wasn't disappointed by my meal, but I would not go out of my way to come back.

Samosas were delicious. Chicken Tikka Masala was a bit dry.

Best lentil soup I've ever had (seriously so good). Great portions on the salads too. Cute and yummy place to eat if you're visiting Cambridge. I don't usually write food reviews but this place was great. Highly recommend!

The food here was amazing!!! We tried a bunch of stuff with a mix of chicken and pure veggie. The service was very nice and attentive. Ambiance was just ok, it was a bit cold but no frills overall

Very accommodating (even for large groups) - a great local spot. Food is alright, though it's 'American spicy' (hot is barely spicy, even for the vindaloo). Not convinced it's the most authentic east-asian food you'll find in Cambridge. Recommend the Biriyani. Quick service, and decent portions for a good price.

If google would have allowed a negative rating, I would have given it that. The food was extremely horrible with weird smell. I had chicken noodles which was burnt and veg momos, and I couldn't even complete half of it, it was so bad. Never ordering food from here again.

A hidden gem. Closest food you can get to homemade style Indian food. Authentic taste! Fast service and chill atmosphere. Some foods are pretty spicy, so customize to your preference. Tried the Momos (chicken chilli), Lamb Vindaloo, Paneer Kadhai and Aloo paratha(spicy). All the dishes were great.

My nose was running 3 bites into the wings they were so spicy but had a nice flavor. My okra dish I wasnt a fan of, my rice was cold and the nan was OK. I'll have to try again but not anytime soon.
