“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 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.“

“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!“

“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.“
