“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!“
“This is a little hidden gem in union square. The food is absolutely delicious, and the service was incredible. HIGHLY recommend the chicken madras. The owner was really friendly too, and checked in to see how we were doing! Looking forward to coming back sometime.“
“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.“
“This a my favorite restaurant in town, I always go there with my family, takeout or any guest of mine go out having lunch or dinner,Excellent customer service, good food, taking care like own family member. One of Best dishes my wife and I liked CTM, PTM and Paneer Saag, Naan, mainly. We loved all dishes!!! Please try.“
“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.“
“I was walking around the neighborhood hoping to find a place where I could find something delicious and healthy, so I came in to try their Supreme Samosa dish and mango lassi. It was the perfect meal packed of goodness and all the nutrients I needed to feel good! Recommend!“
“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!“
“Very accommodating (even for large groups) - a great local spot. Food is alright, though it's 'American spicy' (hot is barely spicy, even for the vindaloo). Not convinced it's the most authentic east-asian food you'll find in Cambridge. Recommend the Biriyani. Quick service, and decent portions for a good price.“
“Got takeout from here just this weekend and although I really wanted to be, I just was not impressed by it :( We got the wrong kind of naan and it was much harder and crunchier than normal naan. I have a food allergy that I wrote on each item in the order and the naan switch up made me pretty uneasy. The johl momo sauce came separate from the dumplings and it wasn't labeled so I was worried about what it could be, considering the naan was wrong and I knew they had a cashew sauce for a lot of items. Once I had by bf taste it to try to to decode what it was, I did try some. It was cold and not flavorful at all. I will say though, the mad chili wings were my favorite - the coating is this amazingly flavorful, textured sauce. Would def recommend. The chicken itself wasn't great but the coating made up for it. I would maybe come here again in person to get food straight out of the kitchen and be able to talk to someone about my allergies.Update: Went to dine-in here and it was great! Food was great, staff was better about my allergy (still had a little concern) and the vibes were much better!“
“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.“
“Excellent south Indian food especially the dosas. Love the fact that the menu clearly labels vegan items as well as those that can be made vegan.Vegetarian options: All items are vegetarian including a selection of north and south Indian as well as Indo Chinese food.“
“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“
“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“
“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 order from here for lunch every so often when I’m working from home. Delivery is super fast and my food is still nice and hot. The way they package everything shows they genuinely care that I enjoy my lunch! Everything is always cooked and seasoned very well and their staff is so kind and friendly. Will definitely continue to give them my business and recommend them to others.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Very nice setting. Good service.I ordered a chicken dish and it was very tasty but WAY too spicy! But there was enough delicious tender chicken for at least 3 portions, I discovered when I brought the leftovers home.I wish they brought a couple of papadums and chutney to the table to welcome us, which I have come to expect in nicer Indian restaurants.So probably next time I'll get takeout.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Great Indian/Nepali entreesThe taste is excellent here and the portions are fair for the price! Though I would say the spice levels are a bit simmered down for the American preference but this can be easily resolved if you select your spice level to be on the higher levels!All in all, this establishment makes good food and provides excellent service! Would I say this is the best Indian food around? Probably not but it does the job for your Indian cravings.4/5 at most. Nothing more“
“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.“
“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“
