“just finished lunch here, and what a treat! the saag paneer that a friend ordered was flavorful, and my onion rava dosa was crispy and delicious!! will be back to try some of the interesting looking fusion dishes (lots of indo Chinese options, and a pav bhaji dosa looked especially interesting) check this place out if you're in Waltham!“
“We ordered Chinese Cheese Bhel, Manchow Soup, Paneer 65, Chole Bhatura and Chocolate Milkshake. We ended the meal with a Small Pan. All the food was decent and yummy. Only feedback was that the fried stuff tasted a little of burnt oil. I’d go there again for other things.“
“We love Indian food and trying new places . Tonight was our first time here and it was so good. Do not be deceived by the empty restaurant! Take out orders we’re flying out of there while we sat. Our food took a while to come out but it was easily the best Indian food we’ve ever had. Paneer Manchurian, paneer tikka masala, paneer butter masala. All incredible. And wow the naan!!! The places we frequent don’t touch the quality of This food. And the best part? When you ask for mild and it comes mild! Incredible. Highly recommend.“
“Top of the line Indian cuisine, presented artfully. The smoked whiskey (Dhundari Madira) was an experience. The bone-in Tariwala Mutton Curry is succulent, never had better. The garlic naan is useful to mop up the plate. I look forward to coming here every time I travel to Bedford.“
“I recently dined at Mirchi’s, a top South Indian restaurant in Boston, and it was truly delightful. The food is delicious and tastes as good as any restaurant from India. If you're new to Indian cuisine, don't miss out on trying their chicken pepper fry, biryani and mutton haleem (only place serving in Boston). The refreshing chikoo shake and sweet paan rounded off the meal perfectly.Overall, my experience at Mirchi’s was exceptional, with delicious food, impeccable service, and a welcoming ambiance. I'll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone seeking authentic Indian cuisine in the Brookline area.“
“The food is just delicious and the staff is friendly and happy to have you there. Everything is so fresh and yummy. If you like Indian food at all, or want to try it for the first time - go here. They have meat dishes, vegetarian dishes and vegan dishes.“
“We came here on a friend’s recommendation, and I’m so glad we did!! We had chicken Dhaniwal korma, lamb tikka masala, naan, and aloo naan, and mango lassis, and everything was just wonderful. Generous portions of delicious curry and fresh hot bread! The restaurant is cozy and clean, and the food came quickly. Great service, great food, we’ll definitely be coming back here!“
“It's my go-to place for Indian lunch in Lexington. The Masala is excellent and the Dal and Chickpeas are outstanding.I just had the Lamb Korma, and I despise lamb, but I completely enjoyed this dish.Vegetarian options: They clearly mark what is vegan and not. A vegetarian can easily find what is needed. They also say what is gluten free.Parking: Parking is usually not a major problem, but be prepared to spend a couple of bucks.“
“Rewriting my review because the place has changed hands and changed menus. Pleasantly surprised to see that brunch was still on the menu, and even more pleasantly surprised to see these awesome Indian brunch fusion dishes. We got the butter chicken eggs Benedict and the masala chai French toast. It was super fun and delicious, definitely considering becoming a regular. My only regret is that the portions have shrunk somewhat since the previous owners.“
“First time here, had a party of 12. The food was delicious and the service amazing. Didn’t know how small the place was so it was difficult finding space. The employees were very kind and accommodating. Amazing place, would definitely recommend the place. The only issue I faced was the small size of the place.“
“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! ???“
“I went for dinner last night with my friends and it was a nice cozy place, the food was good, when we asked to make it spicy they were able to do that, the drinks were good, they can improve a little bit on their service, but we had a good time hanging out, so can’t “
“The goat was definitely the best. Butter chicken was a bit too sweet for my liking, and the oil was a bit too heavy and was pooling up. The lamb was alright tenderness, there were some pieces that were dry. I thought there was a very nice ambience and good decorations in the bathroom too which was a nice touch. Really friendly service too“
“By a mile, the best Indian food I’ve had since moving to the US from the UK. So happy to have found somewhere that serves such good quality food.The staff were very friendly and helpful. Atmosphere very quiet due to going midweek I would imagine.“
“My family has been eating Nirvana once per month, on average, for the last 9 years. The food is perfect- the dishes have amazing flavour profile, chutneys are delicious. We have always had a great experience. I am so thankful for the chefs at Nirvana!“
“Wonderful tastes, gracious hosts, and beautiful live Indian music when we were there. The menu includes many Nepalese dishes which are a particular treat. The room is unremarkable. The customers are relatively diverse and, on the weekend evenings, there are often large multi-generational families dining together.“
“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.“
“Jo's is one of the best Indian restaurants around. The service was excellent and the food was superb. The restaurant has a very warm, welcoming, serene atmosphere. I love this place! I don't understand why the ratings for this restaurant is not a lot higher, it should be a lot higher. Don't be deceived by the bad ratings and reviews. I recommend giving this place a try, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.“
“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.“
“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.“
“I tried Surya Indian Kitchen and found the food to be flavorful. If you're looking for a good butter chicken or chicken tikka masala they are a good spot to check out. They do not have any seating, so be prepared to take out.Overall, not the best Indian food I've had in the Boston area, but they do offer a fully halal menu and a fairly broad variety of options. I was a bit disappointed by the naan. It may be store bought? I'm not sure, but it didn't taste very fresh and didn't have that fluffiness most fresh naan will have. Either way, a solid place to try!“
“my Bengali husband and I had an unbelievable meal delivered from WowTikka. he loves his Indian food, but finding healthier options has been tough. Nothing was sacrificed for healthy in this meal. I had the bowl full of great greens and veggies with the chicken meat balls, he had the wrap also full of veggies and tikka chicken. we both absolutely loved the lighter take, as usually we way overdo an indi meal to the point of needing an immediate nap. can't wait to take our kids and grandkids for a Sunday brunch“
“In Massachusetts this is the cleanest restaurant.Specially restrooms,cutlery,dishes are cleaner than all other’s restaurants in Boston area and around.And no doubt about halal option.Some other restaurants I always doubt about halal option.Only one thing I can say there’s portions a bit small.Like in biriyany they give very little portion of meat and some dishe are very little portion.They can increase portions and price“
“The bottom line of the visit is they have Jain menu separately so what else you need.The food was great we ordered Uttapam, paneer tikka, mirchi bhajji and filter coffeeOn the next day we also went this place for the weekend buffet and even in the buffet they have plenty of options in jain food. The staff were so nice and genuine. On special request (religious reasons) they allowed my mom to have outside home food and they made complimentary hot chocolate milk for her. So sweet gestureOverall this place was highlight of my Boston trip with parents.“
“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“
“A fantastic place to dine! I was surprised to see that they have salmon tikka masala. I liked it a lot! I had a bowl of lentil soup, the salmon dish, and ice cream. All were delicious. Their dining room was spacious and nicely set. Waiters were all polite and professional. Location is also convenient.Dietary restrictions: They offer a good variety of gluten free options.“
“Dining method: Dine-inItem(s) ordered: Egg Bara, Jeera Aloo, Shahi Paneer Masala, Navaratna Korma (I think!)Value: Very fair pricingSpeed: Food came out quite quickly, we were not waiting for long!The Review: I am so grateful to have the quality and flavor that Himalayan Kitchen serves up in their small, humble space. 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.“
“This place is great - had the Somosa Chole Chaat (samosa topping with a chickpea curry and lots of fixins). Delicious food, great portion and the staff are super friendly. Will definitely be back again soon to try more on their massive menu. If you're in the area, don't miss this spot! (Also, it's about $1 cheaper for most items if you call or order there, as opposed to online). There are also a few awesome Indian and Halal markets in the same parking lot“
“The BEST lunch buffet place in the Boston area for South Asian food! Amazing Nepali/Indian dishes for the very reasonable price of $18. If you live in Boston , you know that's a great deal.They have garlic naan, dal tadka, palak paneer, navaratan korma, chicken tikka, and even Nepali dishes like momo, goat curry, rayo ko saag, kukhura ko masu, and chai/chiya. The quality of all the dishess, service team and the aesthetics of the place are all 10/10.“
“The best! I was originally recommended this place by my neighbor who was born and raised in India and travels back every other month. It is now our go to for Indian. The food is always well spiced, very flavorful, and uniquely comforting. The menu is diverse and there are great vegetarian options.In addition, the owner is SO friendly. I will never forget the first time we came in he was so welcoming to our whole family including my young son, immediately having the bartender make him a mango lassi (which we now always order, haha!).Highly recommend for fantastic Indian food!“
“Few days ago, I came here for having dinner with my friend.Food was amazing and service was fantastic. Special thanks to the chef's. We enjoyed your delicious food especially goat curry and chicken korma.I would highly recommed this place. and they serve buffet as well.Ambience : 5/5 | Service : 5/5 | Food : 5/5.Vegetarian options: This restaurant has so many vegan options too.“
“Excellent Indian cuisine located in JP.Service was great, friendly and welcoming.Food was delicious. Chicken curry was spicy, which always hit a spot. Lamb vindaloo was sweeter, mild, but flavorful and perfect with rice.Naan was nice and crispy, on the thinner side, and perfect to dip into the curry.“
“Singh's Cafe offers a delightful dining experience with its flavorful dishes and cozy atmosphere. The service is friendly, and the food is consistently delicious. From aromatic curries to savory samosas, Singh's Cafe delivers authentic Indian cuisine that satisfies every palate. A must-visit spot for lovers of Indian food! must try!“
“This is clearly the best Indian food in the greater Boston area by a long mile. All the dishes have perfect consistency, are very tasty and aromatic, have fresh ingredients, and have a special savory quality above other Indian restaurants. Also, the chefs will make the food based on your preference of spiciness (and I've actually ordered vindaloo, which is supposed to be spicy, in other local restaurants that was served mild!) no matter what the dish. The selection is larger and more interesting that at any other local restaurant, with a good selection of special dishes, breads, and dosas in addition to all the traditional dishes. There is an amazingly good selection of several draft and bottled beers (for example, Night Shift and Jacks Abby offerings on tap, and Dogfish Head and others in bottles), which is EXTREMELY rare for Indian restaurants, which usually serve the worst quality beers. Finally, the location (Arlington Center, with plenty of on street parking) and inside decor are great, with a modern and stylish interior with comfortable seating. The wait staff is always friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable. So, if you want to have the best experience in Indian dining (even if the dishes are a dollar or two more expensive), make Punjab your destination. I've been to dozens of other local Indian restaurants over the past 37 years and this is by far the best one!“
“Amazing service and menu options every time, delicious and fresh always a pleasure to see chef and all the food is authentic and homemade. The Ras Mali is out of this world and made with pure love and expertise. As is all the food from this restaurant. Visit their restaurant in Watertown as well for a more family style lunch and dinner dine in experience.“
“We went to dine in looking at the name Tanjore restaurant . Assumed that southern Indian food will be served as Tanjore is in TamilNadu. But So disappointed and then had to eat regular northern Indian Dishes. But food was good and place was Alright to dine in.“
“One of the best buffet foods we had during our trip from Toronto to New York to Boston.Today we tried a buffet that had a massive range of food that any desi people crave to eat. The food items were rice, betray, pakora, naan, matar aalu, chana, palak paneer, butter chicken, chicken tikka, chai, ras gullay, etc and I don't hesitate to say it was amazingly phenomenal in taste, freshly made with love, and I was satisfied at the price of 14.99 for each person.The best part was meat was halal and they serve food to MIT as well which is just across the street if am not wrong. The ambiance inside was exotic, and I am convinced to immerse myself in dining there next time whenever I hop in the city again.The customer service was great, and everyone was very kind and helpful. They've been running this great restaurant for the last 22 years. Everyone was very kind and helpful. I mentioned in my previous experience at a different place. Caring makes a huge difference. It's not just the good taste of the food; sometimes, it's the little things that pull people in to experience it again.Overall, I'm impressed and come back again to dine in.“
“first of all, my flight landed at 10pm and I was able to uber eats some of their food to my hotel which was amazing because not a lot of options were available that late on a sunday night. i'm basic so i got the chicken tikka masala. the rice was fantastic as well as the masala. i got it mild and it was still a little spicy but im a weak white woman so that says nothing. it was quite a bit oily as well. i also got the daal soup which tasted a lot like a pea soup and was very thin.“
“Probably my favorite Indian restaurant in Cambridge. Their daily lunch buffet is a tremendous deal and the quality is quite fine, with excellent vegetarian apps and entrees, along with some really good chicken curry, butter chicken, and tandoori. Place had a clean, modern vibe and an impressive full bar.“
“My 5 star on1. Complimentary tea2. Reasonably less price for their Nepali/Indian menu.3. Sweet gesture4. Option to choose any curry for lunch that comes with naan and rice.5. Noodles Indo / Chinese style ( I wish they take care of the salt per taste)6. Reasonably clean.“
“I would have taken a picture of the food I got, but it smelled so good that I ate it immediately. I was so impressed by this place that I would eat here all the time if I didn't live 3.5 hours away from it. That being said, if I find myself in the area again, I would come back any time. Staff was attentive, atmosphere was cozy, and the food was flavorful. 5 STARS!“
