What a nice resturant that serves some great Indian Food! My friends and I really enjoyed our meals here and it was served quite quick! I wish I took more pictures of the food before eating it! Ive been here in person and have gotten take out so you know its good. Also the mano Lassi is delicious!

Chileee. So I actually found this place cuz I tried a bit of my friends goat curry and it was so yummy! I then saw prior reviews and was a little skeptical because they weren’t looking too good. Regardless I visited here this past weekend and got the goat curry which was 10/10, yes there is tenderism ♥️ and I also got their chapati which was okay in my opinion 5/10! Service was great! The host was really nice and the interior is sooo beautiful decorated. It has a nice nostalgic feel to it! I will definitely come back again and reccomend this place!

Mistakes were made. I thought I should try this place, having lived next to it for a while. The palak paneer was a ...choice (almost vomited when I tried my gf's dish). The chicken vindaloo was passable. The rice serving was tiny for 2 people. The Garlic Naan felt like old bread burnt and coated with a little bit of butter. The water was stale. We went and grabbed ice cream after to get the taste out of our mouths, and the staff mentioned that we were brave to go there, given how bad food conditions were in the shared basement. Definitely bottom 10% of Indian food I've had in my life. Never again.

Been hard to find a good Indian buffet since the pandemic. My searching continues.. The food here was bland with almost no spice (heat) at all. Some dishes smelled off including saag and mango lassi. Spiciness aside, most dishes were meh. Gotta be the worst Indian food I have had in a long time. I can’t remember the last time I regretted going to a place, and this is one of those times. I have had better microwaved frozen Indian food. I should have gone to the place in Inman Sq…

We love it here! This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Boston. The food is always seasoned perfectly and everything comes out hot and fresh for us every time! We recommend the shrimp curry, chicken tikka and the veggie samosas are to die for!!! I also really enjoy getting the tandoori chicken w raita wow chefs kiss, and you can’t forget the basket of fresh naan. Everything is so tasty and the service is always great. 10/10
