17 Best Indian Restaurants in Boston

“The service is friendly and the prices are very affordable. The food is really delicious and authentic South Indian cuisine. All the dishes were done perfectly and the staff was very kind. One of the best South Indian meals I have ever had.“

“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.“

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

“Dinner party for 8, we were a little late but they were very accommodating. We started with Samosas which came with two sauces a chutney and sweet. For entrees, I had the Chicken Biriyani, Chicken Cochin Curry, Palak Paneer, and the Rogan Josh Goat Curry with Garlic Naan. The curries came with a small bowl of white rice. My favorite curry was the Rogan Josh Goat Curry. The meat was tender with spices nicely infused to create a wonderful and smooth taste. I also ordered a Masala Chai which was the perfect temperature to sip! Overall a fantastic experience and would highly recommend. I will be coming back again!“

“My favorite thing about Codman Square! The roti is delicious, all the cooks are so friendly, the music is great, Wu is everybody's favorite guy, service is fast, and the spice cake is in my top ten desserts ever. On top of all that, the veggie roti and doubles are vegan!“

“*rating for Momos only
I tried Momos for the first time
So the server helped me picked up from the menu
I tried Tandoori Momos and it was sooooo good, had to do a takeaway too
Biryanis we ordered were not to the point
They have room for improvements“

“Wow tikka, was wow! Had ordered kachori chaat and Vada pav, lassi and masala tea. Kachori chaat was the best ever kachori I have had in the US so far. Vada was a bit salty and they can better it. Comes in quantity of 2 both the items. Kachori chat is enough for one person though. Lassi and masala tea was fine.

Good for price, clean and enough sitting inside and outside.

Vegetarian options: Indian street food, curries etc.“

“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.“

“Arrived at hospital an hour and a half early with plenty of time for lunch! This wonderful and authentic Indian restaurant was just the solution I needed! I asked for medium heat on my chicken curry and it was quite spicy! 🌶️ very delicious! This is more of a takeaway place but they have a few tables. Super nice staff! Curry 🍛 was great! Trays and plastic cutlery. My only complaint is I needed more napkins. Super happy with my impromptu luncheon!“

“I love Ali Roti since the 1980’s. Fresh food good flavor and family owned. Delicious food to top my cravings.“

“great food love it authentic food and good service and love it“

“Visiting Boston with my wife for a few days and we dined at Shanti. What a great find, cosy atmosphere, good menu, excellent food and first class service. Strongly recommend to all!“

“Quality is that of what I would imagine an authentic street-side indian vendor would resemble. Prices are definitely fair for what's offered in comparison to more "upscale" indian restaurants. This is more of a bare bones, no frills type of place. As mentioned, it could easily be popped out of a street-side shop in Mumbai and implanted in Boston . Been going here for last 10 Years and love the quality and authentic indian food here !!“

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

“One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever been to! Dguru offers amazing food, incredible hospitality, and a wonderful dining experience. Tasnim and the entire team are always so kind and welcoming. Since the restaurant is located right beside my workplace, it became my go-to spot for lunch every week.

Now that I’m leaving the area, I know I’ll deeply miss their delicious food and warm service. Best wishes to the entire Dguru team—please continue making amazing food with the same heartwarming hospitality. You’ve truly set the standard for excellent dining!

My favorites and best dishes are:
1. Chicken tikka masala
2. Chicken keema with mutter
3. Chicken cooked with coriander
❤️“
