“A new Indian restaurant in Kenmore, with awesome flavorful food and good value for money, specially their numerous delicious buffet course ...highly recommend. The mango lassi has the authentic Alphonso flavor ( not the run-of- the-mill slush you get in the other restaurant) Service was friendly and prompt!.
The ambiance is lovely with cute flowering chandeliers. 💐“

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!“

“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!“

“We were visiting Boston and googled this place. From outside it looked like an average take out place. We were craving South Indian food so we decided to try. And to our surprise food was amazing. We had Vada Sambhar, Podi Dosa, Spring Dosa and Uttapam. All the dishes were yum. Spices, flavor and taste so balanced. Portion size of sambhar and chutneys was perfect. Sambhar was like home made no extra oil and spices. Perfect eat out for breakfast. Must try if you are in Boston.“

“wah ji wah , desi feel was awaken , best food bhaji , guys come here and taste real indian food“

“This is an outstanding Indian restaurant! The food is far above average. First time dining there. The bhaingan bharta and yellow lentil dal were so delicious, and the nan was totally addictive. (Also the luncheon special which included any entree, rice and nan for $12 was an incredible deal.) The service is excellent, with friendly servers. The space is lovely and comfortable, also not loud unlike a lot of places. Highly recommend!“

“My friend and I stopped in here yesterday since he had recommended it. They start you off with complimentary papadam which comes with a mint chutney, tamarind sauce and a tomato chutney. The papadam was thin and crispy plus the chutneys and sauce it came with were delicious. I also got a mango, mint and ginger lassi which was so good and refreshing!

I ordered the lamb biryani with raisins and nuts and a side of garlic naan for my meal. I was amazed by the portion sizes. It came in a literal cauldron! The other half is in my fridge right now which I will eat for dinner. The biryani was seasoned well and the crispy garlicky naan paired perfectly with it. The raisins gave it a hint of sweetness which was perfect and it also came with a yogurt sauce which helped tie everything together.

The staff were also super friendly and I liked the location. I would recommend checking out if you are in the area. There is also Winthrop Park right across the street which is a great spot to hang out and relax in after such a good meal.“

“We had Tandoor & Curry on Wheels cater our grand opening on Saturday, May 16th, and they were absolutely wonderful! Not only were they able to customize the seasoning to fit everyone’s preferences, but they also customized the menu specifically for our event. The two gentlemen running the truck were incredibly kind, professional, and friendly throughout the entire experience. The food was amazing, and they helped make our event extra special. I would highly recommend them and would gladly use them again and again!“

“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.“

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

“Best Indian food in Massachusetts!!“

“Had dinner here recently and the experience was smooth from start to finish. The flavors in the curry dishes stood out and the portions were generous. Also noticed the dining area was organized and the service stayed consistent all evening.“

“Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. I had Madras Chicken, and plain Naan. Both were great. The room is simple, modern with a friendly cozy feel. The staff were warm and helpful. This place is an instant favorite, and will be part of my regular rotation.“

“Wooow!! Every bite was amazing… the lamb mushroom masala 🔥😤🔥 the noodle 😍 and everything else was just sensational!! My stomach, body and soul right now overall 😁 💯🏆🥇🏆“

“I'm Indian so naturally I have VERY high standards for Indian food ...that being said, I ate at Wow Tikka probably 3x/week for the past year. And whenever I have Indian guests/friends in town this is the first place I take them. The food is cheap and always reliably tasty. I always get the desi paneer fries, paneer kathi roll, or veg momos. It's always amazing.“

“They have really good customer service and Food is really so good and delicious.I appreciate for your service.“

“It’s been a while since I had a buffet they did not Disappoint me.“

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

“Food was good, service was nice“

“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. 🎁🎊“

“Madras Dosa Company, or “MDC” as we lovingly call it, is a comfort spot I would go to every day if I could. I’ve been going here for years now, bringing many different friends and family, with the utmost confidence that it will hit the spot each and every single time. The paneer canteen sandwich is my personal favorite (the chips and sauce accompany the sandwich so perfectly 👌🏾), but I’ve loved everything I’ve gotten including the potato sandwich, all of the chaats, dosas, vadas (the rasam is so flavorful and reminds me of home), and of course the many and salt lassis. I cannot say enough positive things about the lovely people who work here, who always greet me and my others warmly and welcomingly, and they even recognize me and my orders now (and that’s not just because I’m a frequent customer)! The atmosphere is also so warm, with Bollywood and Hollywood classics playing in the background and cool interior decoration. It’s also such a plus that MDC is open late so it satisfies that late night craving while being insanely yummy. The fact that I still bring close and new friends here these many years later shows how much confidence I have in the quality and warmth of MDC, and I hope this can continue for many years to come!!“

“The store feels hidden but trust the maps location. We had misal, chass, pav bhaji, Pani pie and vadapav. I personally loved vadapav. Misal tasted great but would have been amazing if it was tad but less watery. Pav bhaji was rightfully spicy.
Overall, am definitely coming back here.“

“Good food we use them for catering events at our place and always perfect as we expect. 5 star“

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

“GreaAAATE taste. Had the momo and it filled me up! The taste was on point too. With the sauce. Those dumplings were so generous in size as well.
Made me come back second time and I had Chicken saag. Didn’t disappoint as well!! Perfect blend of creamyy and chicken and spices!!

Highly recommend. Great taste and great place to eat for the food and good people.“

“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 :)“

“Thier presence at the Kendall sq Farmers market is the culinary highlight of my week. There's no shortage of great food in Cambridge but at $13 a plate that is typically 2-3 servings, this is the best bang for your buck and your taste buds. I don't think you can even get Mc“

“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.“
