Our favorite Indian restaurant. We’ve been customers for over 20 years and the quality and flavor are always great. You have to enjoy heat in your food as they are not like many places where spice level is often disappointing. They have a couple of tables, but we have always ordered take out.

This Indian food was good . The mango 🥭 Lassi was absolutely delicious. The friendliest people serving the food . I met them at the “ Copley Farmers Market “. Parking 🅿️ you have the option of looking for meter parking or parking in the garage which is less than 1/2 block and is a reasonable price . The price of the food is good for the quality and portion size .

Had guru at the Boston Public Library farmers market. I know food prices are getting higher, but I feel like for just a few dollars more, you can gorge at a buffet somewhere. The pakora looked phenomenal but cannot be chosen as a side, which is disappointing. They definitely save money by using tripartite containers and loading basmati rice onto the biggest section. I would definitely consider using them for catering but I also know that Indian grub isn't for everyone. The Farmer's market is in a great spot. You can just eat at the sidewall of the BPS and talk to people. It's a good experience on a nice day and even more so if you're from out of town. As an aside, I don't know why the only two hot food offerings are Indian at the farmer's market. The samosas at the other joint looked like

I just ordered the Kesari Kheer, Samosa, and Meat Combo. My first bite was the Kesari Kheer, and it’s already spoiled. It tastes extremely bitter and has a fishy smell. It seems like it could actually make someone sick. I’m really wondering if they even taste this before selling it to customers."

I ordered takeout of the meat combo (goat curry with side of mixed veggie curry). It came with two pieces of roti and rice and chutney, and was all very delicious! It’s a cute little place serving good Indian food.
