Went for a friend’s birthday and was super happy with her recommendations on their many vegan options. The texture on the crispy eggplant was a stunner!

Overall very tasty, reasonably paced service, and nice vibes with planters hanging from the ceiling

Steamed Chicken Momos were tasty, 8 pieces, good portion size
Pineapple Chicken was very good, well seasoned. It did seem to have dark meat chicken, and the portion was not huge.
Tangerine Shrimp was also quite good, but is fried.

Would like larger portions on the entrees for 20 bucks each, but the food was all very tasty and unique so I would highly recommend trying this place out

Holy moly this place is amazing! Just stopped in after passing by it many times, and while they don’t advertise much let me tell you…the food is mind blowing. I ordered the spicy tofu thang soup to start - from the first bite I was in heaven, my mouth virtually bursting from the flavor of the broth and various tofus and vegetables contained therein. The entree was equally delicious. Tibetan butter tea was a little salty for my palate, but hey, that’s on me! Still glad I tried it LOL. To go boxes are perfectly sized, tons of vegan and vegetarian options, all around amazing experience. Will definitely be coming back for more!! YUM!

Our favorite restaurant in the area, we order from Martsa once a week. The food is excellent. Chili chicken, KP tofu, and momos are not to be missed. Dining in is lovely as well with the warm, friedly staff.

Overall great experience. Their fried apps are absolutely drenched with oil so even with the good flavor it's overpowered by oil. Their short rib dish left a lot to be desired and was really dry and chewy. Everything else we has was absolutely delicious with great flavors. Will definitely come back and try more stuff on the menu.

Enjoyed the pork noodle soup at Martsa on Elm—flavorful broth and tender pork with perfectly cooked noodles. However, the portion was a bit small for the price. Tasty, but could be more filling.

Felt like a ripoff. Prices were unreasonably high for the quality, portion of food, and mediocre service.Dishes were a real mixed bag. Some were quite tasty like the chicken and lamb dishes others like the pork belly noodle soup and pepper steak tasted worse than takeout restaurants at half the price.It's the type of restaurant that will charge $20+ per entree and then ask each person if they want to pay extra for rice. The service was fairly inattentive due to under-staffing.Overall, there is definitely good food to be had here but at the pricepoint and level of service you are far better off going elsewhere

I went there after seeing so many great reviews and they didn't disappoint. A great place to have Tibetan/ Himalayan cuisine in Boston. They have amazing prices considering the quality and service provided. The interior is aesthetically decorated. Love the momos and mangso ice tea. Would definitely visit again.
