Hot Breads

The staff is friendly enough. And the flavor of the food wasn’t great. If it weren’t for the sauces I probably wouldn’t have been able to eat it, honestly. I haven’t had Indian food since my childhood and so I’m not sure as far as Indian food standards how to rate this. But I’m pretty sure they microwaved the food before serving it to me. The bread had that hot soft but weirdly stale feeling like the crust of pizza after you microwave it. The buffet style rice bar was extremely close to the entrance, like partially in the way of the doorway, so that alone had me choosing not to get the rice. But on a second look it was very unclean. There were no covers to the rice and the rice almost looked partially dehydrated and shrunken off the sides of the serving dish. As if it had been there for ov

Hot Breads has lost its charm, once known for its authentic Punjabi style food, thanks to the awesome Punjabi chef they had, has now lost its reputation. Curries are now having the same tomato base with tons of cream. I used to enjoy their paneer kadhaii ( afraid don’t have photos from the past) just looking at the curry and the signature red and green capsicum used to make me drool. Now the curries look below average and even worst, the taste is not memorable. Same thing for the malai kofta. What disappointed me further was they served me “STALE” … dabeli, it was smelling horrible the moment I opened the take out box. C’mon this is not fair. Thirdly when I started with hotbreads way back the curries used to be priced 6.99 and portions were huge, now they are 17 and the portions are prob

Best place for authentic hyderabad Biryani, veg chicken or goat exactly in hyderabadi style. Not at all overpriced like other Indian restaurants. Try goat curry as well. Pastries are delicious, mango, strawberry or chocolate flavored pastries with sponge cake are a must try.

Great food and friendly staff!! Must try the Goat puff and the samosa chaat. They also have lunch buffets everyday. Indian food? Bollywood movies and music is the vibe!

Their breads (including buns, puffs, and croissants) are genuinely pretty good - it's in their name, after all. We usually get pav from here when making pav bhaji at home. If you want pav, call ahead because they make limited quantities and may run out. But that way at least you know the pav is fresh. The goat biryani is also excellent - probably the best in the Boston area. We've also tried the dosa, dabeli, and some pastry and chaat items here but these are not their core competency. My best advice would be to avoid getting anything else beyond breads and biryani; you'd only be setting yourself up for disappointment.
