Great food. Everything we tried was great. Temple masala dosa, vegetable fried rice and mango smoothie were all great! Updated from previous review on 2026-02-26
A great little find in Somerville, MA. We wanted to take our niece out to dinner and decided on Indian food. Dosas are part of South Indian cuisine, typically more spicy than other Indian foods. But the preparation also depends on which region of the South the food is representative of. The menu consists of typical Indian restaurant dishes as well as a Jain Menu. Jain menu typically is made without onions and garlic. We ordered three different types of dosas. The dosas were very big, 5 stars to the size of the platter!! I was not impressed with the taste of their chutneys though. Usually the coconut and tomato chutneys are very flavorful; these were bland and the tomato chutney was watery sauce, and not a typical tomato chutney representative of any region in the South. The Sambar ( lentil and vegetables dish that goes with the dosa) was also leaning towards bland. The upside of that is that if you can’t handle spice, this is the place for you and the downside, of course, is that if you’re going to this restaurant expecting a typical South Indian dosa meal, you’ll be happy with the dosa itself but may not be very happy with the accompaniments. I stand right in the middle. It was a good dosa dish overall. We ordered a take out pizza with a combination of two different Indian toppings, and were very pleased with the pizza. So 5 stars to the pizza. Overall, I would say it’s a good 4/5 star. Will have to try their other dishes and tweak my review accordingly.

This is one of the best restaurants in MA! The servers are attentive and nice. Food comes out FAST and piping hot!! The vegetables are so fresh. Food is super spicy and delicious!!! Make sure you have a free morning the next day 😂. Some of the best food I’ve ever had.

Horrible experience!! We were there last week after hearing about this restaurant from a friend - really great review. But we were in for a surprise. The medu vada was hard and tasteless (reheated from freezer?), idly was salty and hard, and the masala dosa was so flavorless. Quite a disappointment. As a south Indian will not be going there ever again.

The food was AMAZING! I ordered the Thali lunch- the portions were generous and there was so much variety. Everything was delicious seasoned so nicely. My friend got the Spring Dosa- it was huge and packed to the brim with veggies and potatoes. The price and value was well worth it. I will be back even though it’s out of my normal route.

Fantastic service, they had an entire Jain menu with so many options to choose from! Everything was reasonably priced, largely portioned, and the service was amazing!!

Absolutely terrible experience. The restroom was disgustingly filthy, and the stench was so bad my wife almost vomited. Staff took ages to respond, and their solution was to offer her the men’s restroom instead. We stayed only because we were starving and had already ordered.
The food was just as awful: the pav bhaji was ridiculously spicy and full of masala, leaving my tongue with ulcers and causing nonstop burping all night. The rava sada dosa was undercooked and bland. Both of us ended up with severe stomach problems after eating here.
Avoid this place at all costs.

Ordered via DoorDash—kothu parotta was missing. The restaurant claims it was packed, but dasher Musse couldn’t be reached. Was he so hungry he kept it, or is this how he eats daily? Refunds don’t fix missed meals—where’s the accountability and basic customer service?
