40 Best Indian Restaurants near Saugus

“I was excited to try this new Indian spot just a few minutes from our house on the edge of Malden. Honestly, for the price point, the food far exceeded expectations. We had Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Biryani, Saag Paneer, Baigan Bharta, and samosas. Everything was flavorful, fresh. I saw another reviewer say the bangan bharta was oily and bitter - ours was smooth, a little pleasantly smokey, and had a complex spicy / slightly sweet seasoning. Cons: Small detail, but when I have ordered naan at other places, we usually get an enormous one, or two pieces in an order - this naan felt like a single-serve only. I'll definitely plan to order more next time. Also, the food isn't spicy at all - just something to be mindful of if you are expecting a bit more heat.“

“*GREAT FOR CATERING IN BOSTON*I ordered food for a work event for 60 people.I had dined-in and took-out before at Mirchi Nation and I knew their food was good. This time, I was not only impressed with their food but also with their service. Sai helped me with all the catering. The food was delivered in a spill proof container that kept it hot until the start of event. Everything arrived on time as promised without any need for calling them again and again. Their team was on their toes.Taking about food, I placed an order for Samosas, Gulab Jamun, Gobi Manchurian, Paneer tikka masala, chicken tikka masala, Paneer Biryani, Chicken dum Biryani and Chapatis. The food tantalized everyone’s taste buds! A lot of people who were trying the Indian food for the first time, were also highly impressed. Thanks team Mirchi Nation!“

“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.“

“What a gem! The flavors and spices are not like anything you will find in typical cuisines. Owner Jay had great recommendations as our party wanted to focus on unique dishes. Must order momo appetizers (dumplings) that are served with a spicy/hot sauce and a milder but equally flavorful sauce. We appreciate being treated like relatives who had come for a delicious meal. Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. A great value for a great meal. Highly recommend!“

“Good south Indian cuisine. Dosas ($10) are made in front of you and come with three sauces. Any additions, even onions, are charged at $1 for each vegetarian filling. Lots of vegetarian and some vegan options.Menu is all text. It would be nice if there were some photos to show those who are ignorant of this cuisine what chaat, gunpowder, pao, etc. are.Music was too loud.They don't offer tap water -- you have to buy bottled water, which is very annoying.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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! ???“

“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!“

“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.“

“Zuzu momo is an absolute gem! If you’re craving authentic Nepali food and the best momo in town, look no further. My family and I had an amazing experience here yesterday. A must-visit spot! Furthermore, the ambience in the restaurant is truly amazing, and the customer service is exceptional. It’s one of the best restaurants we’ve visited, offering a delightful atmosphere and top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back for more!”“

“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.“

“We've been to Anmol a couple times now and each time has been consistent with their food. We've enjoyed everything we've tried there. My favorite by far is the Aloo Tikki Chaat and their Naan bread. The Aloo Tikki Chaat is so flavorful and delicious. The naan bread is cooked perfectly and great for dipping in everything. The Chicken Korma and soup were also good. Overall, I'd say that Anmol is a great 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“

“We ordered takeout from here comprising onion rava masala dosa, sindhi soya chaap biryani, and veg pakora. The place gets a four star only because of the fantastic biryani. I've never eaten the soya chaap biryani anywhere else in the US and this one was delicious with generous pieces of the chaap! Dosa was okay and the pakoras were oily and soggy. The place is reasonably priced. I've dined in at their sister restaurant veggie crust in Somerville that has good pizzas. Wood like to try some of the other items on the menu as well.“

“Maya is a great rest and even better Caterers. This was our first time working with them since we wanted to do a traditional south Indian menu. Absolutely amazing food and amazing service . The process from beginning to the end and the communication with the owner and the manager were absolutely fantastic.we had quite extensive menu and all of it was special south Indian specialty food that was properly suggested by them to make everything go along with what we had in mind. The day of the event they arrived on time and all the set up was done on time .The food was absolutely amazing and very fresh , nicely presented and the taste was just out of the world. It was really awesome experience and all the guest absolutely loved the south Indian food menu which replicated the menu that is served traditionally on a banana leaf in India.Overall a great experience and def would love to work with them again“

“I love Surya! Such delicious flavors and really good bang for your buck. The employees are friendly and the food is ready quickly. Also you get a free mango lassi if you spend $30 which is a such a sweet perk. I probably get takeout from here at least once a week. Could not recommend highly enough.“

“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.“

“I had an amazing experience with this restaurant . The customer service was outstanding, and the food was exactly what I was looking for. I was so pleased with the service .They went above and beyond to my expectations.“I was very impressed with the quality of the food I received. It was exactly what I was hoping for.” The samosa chat was extremely delicious. I highly recommend to try it.“

“came here for my birthday today from providence r.i. I was very disappointed the food was nasty no favor the workers was very rude. haven't been here in awhile brung other people with me telling them how good the food is they was discussed. we won't be back here no time soon very upset the nasty birthday plate i ever had. it went straight im the trash. if i would of known that the food was like this i would of went to a restaurant in providence were i live.Ali you need to get back in your restaurant and get that food right. sorry Ali but this was nasty.“

“Been up and down with Masala. It was a favorite of mine, went downhill, but is back to good IMO.My favorite is the methi chicken, but going the lunch buffet today was exceptionally good. Lots of dishes, not just "the usual”. Fragrant and delicious.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is amazing. The chicken tikki masala and cheese naan are by far the best I've ever had but the hospitality and kindness even outweigh the incredible variety of dishes! It's a weekly stop during our adventures in Boston ♥️Vegetarian options: Anything, really anything you would want, their menu is pretty bigKid-friendliness: My four year is always welcome! They have ice cream and non spicy options. They've even given us free rice for her. We love this place!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I visited this place because it was next to the hotel I was staying at and it was just me dining alone.I ordered lamb biryani medium and it did not disappoint. I think I could have handled hot though.Old monk beer recommendation was excellent (decently strong) and it was quite good pairing.“

“I've passed this place a bunch of times in their old downtown location and I was always curious. I finally had the opportunity to come in today (to their new place at 92 Bedford street) and I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered a meat combo plate with lamb curry, mater paneer, naan bread, rice and a vegetable samosa and all were excellent! The samosa in particular I liked, it didn't taste frozen or old like they sometimes do. The lamb was tender and flavorful. The mater paneer was a little soupy but was still good and made a nice gravy for the rice. There aren't many options for Indian food in downtown so it's very nice to have this place to go to. I will definitely come back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Halal Indian Cuisine and it was an unforgettable culinary journey. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with the delightful aroma of spices and the warmth of the staff.The menu boasts a tantalizing array of authentic Indian dishes, each crafted with precision and care. From rich curries to fragrant biryanis, every bite was a burst of flavor that transported me straight to the streets of India. The chefs at Halal Indian Cuisine have truly mastered the art of Indian cuisine, infusing each dish with depth and authenticity.What truly sets Halal Indian Cuisine apart, however, is the impeccable service and genuine hospitality of the staff. From the attentive servers to the knowledgeable sommelier, every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect.

“I walked in for take out after work . The guy there was not friendly at all!!!!! But I still gave him 5 dollar tip cause that's just me!!! I ordered chicken and rice and two different Naan breads..the food was fabulous . I ordered on Friday and had it all weekend . I'm a big eater but the portion was big and I even ended up throwing some out .it was so much food.they should have a sm, MD, LG, option lol . But yeah food was great but dude that was suppose to greet people was horrible !!! Not a people person. They need to get someone else to greet people and they would be perfect!!“

“The food was utterly delicious and the person serving us was very warm and welcoming. I ordered Beef Nihari, Mutton Nihari, Mutton Kadhai, Mutton Haleem, Garlic Naan and chai. Everything was great. The meat in Mutton Kadhai could have been cooked for a little bit longer.Parking: When I went, I couldn't find parking in front of the store. However, there is a public parking lot where you can park your car close by.“

“I've never had indian food before, and this place was my first time. i ordered it through uber eats last night and OH MY GOD! You guys have got to try their chicken tikki masala and their house naan. this is feel was a good introduction to indian food and i will definitely order from here again! thank you for the delicious food guys!“

“I was always attracted to the logo and finally made it. Had the chicken manchuriyan, chicken chettinad and naan. We really enjoyed the food and the hospitality was top tier - Gloria made our experience much better. I also recommend the boozy mango lassi, it was the perfect way to start our meals.I’m usually very picky about Indian food but I was pleasantly surprised.“

“Incredible food, friendly staff, very conscientious of cross contamination which most restaurants are NOT. This is one of very few places I will actually eat their food, try something you can't pronounce I promise it will blow your mind!Vegetarian options: They don't cross contaminate, vegetarian options are not cooked in meat juices“

“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.“
