The restaurant’s interior is neat and there’s plenty of seats available. They have many orders for delivery, but my food came out within 20 minutes. Server has thick Indian accent, so a sign that food is authentic!! Server is nice and friendly. I ordered lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka, and mango lassi. Their mango lassi is refreshing and fresh. I can really taste the mango flavor in it. Chicken tikka was juicy and absolutely rich in spice. Condiments that came with it are flavorful but I doubt its needed. Lamb vindaloo sauce is rich and spicy. The lamb is perfectly cooked, it’s neither gamey nor chewy. Highly recommend this place!!

Great Indian food! Mutter paneer was delicious and very flavorful with just enough heat and so was the Mulligatawny soup. I’ve also ordered some baby samosas stuffed with potatoes and peas which I forgot to take a picture of and it was wonderful as well albeit a little dry but the sauces they give help you with that. So far it’s been good! If I ever stay in Brookline again I will most certainly come back.

Disappointed Despite the Hype We visited this Indian restaurant after hearing some glowing reviews, but unfortunately, our experience didn’t live up to the expectations. The food was underwhelming: the paneer bhurji, ordered medium spicy, was surprisingly bland—dominated by turmeric and lacking depth. The malai kofta gravy tasted heavily of canned tomatoes, which really took away from the richness we were hoping for. On the bright side, the staff was courteous and attentive. They promptly relayed our feedback to the manager, who came over and kindly offered to prepare something else. We appreciated the gesture, but by then we’d lost our appetite and declined. What really stuck tlwith us was his attitude about not caring about us putting our honest reviews on Google. The dining area was

We went there for the buffet, and it’s definitely worth experiencing. The service is very good, and the staff are kind and friendly.

If you’re looking for great Indian food, easy parking, and good service - this is the place!!! The service was probably the best part - our server was so sweet and made sure we were taken care of the whole night. Also the naan was probably the best naan I’ve ever had. Will definitely be coming back!
