50 Best Indian Restaurants near Saugus

“Has an amazing Valentines dinner here tonight. Both the food and the service were out of this world. One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. Thank you for having us and can’t wait to enjoy again!!!“

“very very Nice food Namaste Spice Arlington MA“

“What a wonderful experience! They were so kind as to make me a vegan tikka masala, and it's not even on the menu! That used to be my favorite dish before going vegan in 2017, and this is the first restaurant to ever make a vegan version for me ❤️ I will definitely be back. It was so good!!“

“Great place. Food is great and family owned! 👏👍“

“Ssaanjh offers a fun, modern take on classic Indian dishes while still capturing all the comforting, familiar flavors. Their dahi bhallas were a standout — packed with flavor and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth soft. The malai tikka was another favorite; the chicken was incredibly tender and perfectly seasoned.

I’d highly recommend their dal makhani and their variety of naans, especially the sesame and garlic naan. And definitely don’t miss the shahi tukda — rich, indulgent, and the perfect way to end the meal.

If you’re craving delicious Indian food in the city, Ssaanjh is a great spot to satisfy that urge.“

“I have tried almost every Indian restaurant in Boston and this place has got me hooked. I have lived in India for 15 years and love Indian food and this place has the most authentic taste from what I have had in India. Highly recommend! 🤝💪“

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

“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.“

“An excellent spot in JP for some of the best Indian food in the city. This is my 6th time visiting the restaurant and the first time the lighting in the restaurant was nice enough to take some pictures.

This place isn't afraid to make authentic Indian food. Just be sure to tell your server you would like an authentic level of spice and your mouth (and guts) will burn. For most, a mild or mid level of spice would suffice. I love their Special Briyani, which is a combination of fish, shrimp and chicken.

Now, the service was hit or miss. Today, the service was weak. They had 4 servers in the restaurant who were happy to stand and watch things go by rather than be attentive or helpful. They were also eager to get you OUT of the restaurant by placing the check on your table as quickly as they can even though it was quiet and there were plenty of space. Thankfully, the quality of the food saved the day.“

“The food here is delicious and the service beautiful. We loved it! The lunch specials are not to be missed. Great value!“

“Highly recommended for vegetarians in the area craving authentic Indian flavors!
We tried the Samosa Chaat and Vada Pav, and both dishes were absolutely top-notch. The Vada Pav packs a bit of heat—so if you’re sensitive to spice, just a heads-up—but I personally loved the kick. Totally worth it for anyone looking to indulge in bold, flavorful Indian street food.“

“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. 🎁🎊“

“Hands down the best Indian food in town. We tried their neighbors Punjab and Zomza (and they are good) but we like this one best! Our go to’s are the butter chicken which is incredibly smooth and flavorful and the Matar Paneer. Make also sure to try their garlic naan and mango lassi! The restaurant is very spacious and I appreciate that you can have a good conversation at dinner as it is not noisy. Service is attentive and friendly! Give it a try!“

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

“A small south Indian food restaurant in Harvard university campus. Limited seating area. We ordered dosa and samosa both were good. Its self service there. I don't recall the price but i think was slightly on the expensive side. They don't give free water (usually restaurants in US provide free water). No additional chutney or sambhar, you have to purchase the same. Food quality good though and you won't miss Indian food while in US :)“

“Came in for take-out with a friend. Was about 20 minute wait for food. I ordered the lamb mango chutney & it was delicious.

The dining area is cozy with plenty of booths. It is dimly lit, giving an intimate vibe.

While we waited, my friend and I walked to a nearby store and stood in the parking lot chatting. To our surprise, the waiter came to us outside and gave us our food!

Next time, I'm dining in to get the full experience :) lovely little place.“

“Service was very quick, drinks were great, and the food was amazing and had portions big enough to be full. We got the biriyani rice, rosemary and garlic naan, and the saag, we also got a curry that came with cheese in it which was so good but I forgot the name.“

“Best Indian food in Massachusetts!!“

“The Maharaja donated the food for the Allston Brighton Food Pantry Fundraiser Dinner. The food was absolutely incredible! Each dish was packed with flavor. I will absolutely be back to support a restaurant that has excellent food AND food justice values!“

“Madras Dosa Company is my new go-to for quick South Indian-in Boston. I tried the dosa, samosa chaat, and podi idli—crispy dosa, soft idlis, and a bright, tangy chaat that actually stays crunchy. It’s a small outlet but the flavors hit, and the to-go packaging is on point—leak-proof with separate chutneys/sambar, perfect for the car. These three are the winners.

They’ve done a great job for to go 🫡“

“Dosa was very fresh and waiters very kind. The wait staff help you to select flavors and keep your water glass filled.“

“This was the first time I had food from the Indian Kitchen. I ordered take-out. It was ready in a timely manner. The staff were very friendly. The mild chicken & lamb curries and the garlic naan were delicious. I will definitely be back.“

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

“Yummy food with nice atmosphere . Have so many little corners that you would love to click with .“

“This place is a hidden gem! The flavors were incredible every bite tasted homemade and full of love. I tried the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan, and both were absolutely delicious. The spices were just right, not too overpowering, and the portion sizes were generous. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the restaurant was clean and well-organized. You can really tell they care about quality and customer satisfaction. I’ll definitely be recommending this spot to friends and family!
The place has been serving Malden with authentic Indian Food since 2001😊“

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

“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 :)“

“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.“

“We ordered through uber eats. The food was extremely good and quantity sufficient. Since we stayed in a hotel, we asked for plates and cutlery (there is an option to request for them). But there were no cutlery. Please remove the option to ask for cutlery if they cannot be provided by you.“

“Great restaurant, food is very good Incredible service - servers. Staff, owners They often bring a taster for you to try something new Very kind to the elderly Very generous, warm and thoughtful!! I highly recommend this restaurant located in a Cambridge neighborhood near Harvard Square“

“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.“

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

“A no frills spot for everyday home-style Indian food. I always get the veggie combo and it’s satisfying every time. The food is light and not your typical, heavy, creamy Indian fare, which is much appreciated especially for lunch time. The woman who works there is super sweet! Highly recommend.“

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

“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).“

“Food was delicious and I’ll definitely be back.“

“I've always loved the food, which tastes like my favorite Indian friend's, who is an amazing chef. They just re-did the interior and did a great job. Before it had a bit of a sports bar feel, now it feels like a nicer restaurant.“

“Aurora was a fantastic server!“

“Best Indian food in the greater Boston area, the rice is seasoned so well and if that’s not an indicator as to how good the food is, I don’t know what to tell you. Great for casual occasions and great for dinner with your partner and their parents. Please do yourself a favor and eat here.“

“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 .“

“Food was good, service was nice“

“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!“

“I ordered food from Surya Indian Kitchen N Catering for the Boston Classical Guitar Society's Spring Festival, and I could not be happier! The food was delicious, and it arrived on time with plenty of plates, utensils, napkins, and serving spoons. And the price was very reasonable for the amount of food we received. The BCGS will certainly be ordering from Surya Indian Kitchen again! Thank you for the excellent food and service!“

“Really enjoyed my experience at Mela. The food was tasty and the fresh, the service was welcoming. A great place if you're looking for quality Indian cuisine in Boston.“
