“Wonderful cuisine! As a New Yorker we have pretty good Indian food….but really enjoyed the food here …more authentic than we get in the States. The Chicken with the mint and coriander was just perfectly and expertly prepared…..incredibly tender and delicious. We had the spinach and garlic dish that was really good. And of course the Naan…garlic Naan of course was excellent. Service was top notch too! Highly recommend this restaurant! With all the great choice's at the Icon Siam really happy we ate here!“

This time, I was not only impressed with their food but also with their service. Sai helped me with all the catering. The food was delivered in a spill proof container that kept it hot until the start of event. Everything arrived on time as promised without any need for calling them again and again. Their team was on their toes.Taking about food, I placed an order for Samosas, Gulab Jamun, Gobi Manchurian, Paneer tikka masala, chicken tikka masala, Paneer Biryani, Chicken dum Biryani and Chapatis. The food tantalized everyone’s taste buds! A lot of people who were trying the Indian food for the first time, were also highly impressed. Thanks team Mirchi Nation!“

“Having visited Madras Dosa Company in Cambridge multiple times, I felt compelled to share my experience. Undoubtedly, their dosa stands out as one of the best available in Boston. The coconut chutney is impeccably prepared, meeting my high standards. From vada to chaats and pav bhaji, every item I tried was exceptionally delicious. Despite their use of a machine, the coffee closely resembles a typical Madras filter coffee.The only downside is the limited seating due to the small size of the establishment, often resulting in a wait for a table. However, the presence of a nearby parking garage adds convenience. It would enhance the experience further if management could offer free parking with validation.In summary, Madras Dosa Company is a superb option for authentic South Indian cuisine, primarily focusing on dosa, idly, and chaats. Highly recommended for those yearning for genuine southern flavors.“

“It amazes me how few truly good Indian restaurants there are in Camberville. Most are a 3-star experience, aka remarkable only in how little there is to remark upon. As someone who loves good Indian cuisine and also enjoys a serious amount of heat, i have spent a good amount of time shopping the local scene. What Curry Express may lack in flare, it more than makes up for in substance. The flavors are on point, everything is consistently fresh, and they will believe you when you tell them that you want it with extra++ chilies. I only get my order delivered, so I can't speak to the atmosphere, but I have spoken to them on several occasions, and they are incredibly nice. The driver, whom I feel I should be on a first name basis with by now, is also terrific. Enjoy this hidden gem, but if you order your food extra spicy and can't handle it, dont complain and ruin it for the rest of us! ???“

We got the butter chicken eggs Benedict and the masala chai French toast. It was super fun and delicious, definitely considering becoming a regular.

“Terrific food, almost everything is gluten free (!!) and very clearly marked. Also food is marked for vegan diners. Yay!We had kale pakoras (crunchy and excellent), sag paneer, chicken madras curry. Everything tasted nice and fresh and was delicious, with a nice blend of slices. However in our view everything could have used more spice (not just hot pepper… all the spices) to be more authentic.Really pleasant and accommodating staff.There are just a few tables and the seating area itself is very humble (and not air conditioned ).Enjoyed our meal. We’ll be back for sure. Definitely recommended.Vegetarian options: Vegan options clearly marked on menu.Dietary restrictions: GF and Vegan options clearly marked. Almost everything is GF.“

“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.“

“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.“

I've never eaten the soya chaap biryani anywhere else in the US and this one was delicious with generous pieces of the chaap! Dosa was okay and the pakoras were oily and soggy. The place is reasonably priced. I've dined in at their sister restaurant veggie crust in Somerville that has good pizzas. Wood like to try some of the other items on the menu as well.“

“I ordered off of Uber Eats, so I cannot rate service or atmosphere, but this is hands down the best Indian food I've had in Boston. I'm from Seattle, so that has really affected what I anticipate Indian food to taste like. So much of what I've had here has had too much cream (and cream in dishes I wouldn't expect) and not enough spice. The food from Indian Kitchen had a nice kick, complex and well balanced curry flavors, and the creamless dishes I order were, in fact, creamless. The lamb vindaloo and chickpea potato curry were especially good and flavorful. Lamb vindaloo had great tomato flavor. Veggie samosas were perfect - not oily, nice and light. The raisin and coconut naan was new for me and a real treat! So delicious - almost like dessert but also a perfect pairing with what I got. In my top three of all restaurants in Boston. Definitely ordering again when I want to treat myself“

This was my first time, and I was very impressed. The food was fantastic and flavorful. The staff were kind, welcoming, and were very accommodating for dietary needs. There were a mountain (pun intended) of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. I used the lentil-based Bara almost as a gluten-free naan option. So, so good. I shall be dreaming of this meal for a while. At the end, they gave us some rice pudding to try, which was such a treat. My only complaint is that it wasn't really spicy enough, as I was definitely profiled by the staff ;) To be fair, I imagine they were trying to save me...all in good faith--I just have to ask for spice next time.“
