This place is on the list on my top 3 Indian restaurants in Boston. I have been so far only ordering from Uber One:UberEats but they have been consistently offering great food quality. I have really liked the butter chicken and paneer tikka masala from this place. Highly recommend them either via UberEats or dine-in. They are also conveniently located right off Sutherland MBTA stop of BC green line.

I really don't like to write poor reviews, especially for small local businesses, but the quality issues with the food at this place is getting worse each day. I took out an order this afternoon which included a box of rice. After getting to the middle of the container, I see a piece of red meat in it (pic attached). It was extremely unpleasing and disturbing, especially because I am vegetarian for religious reasons and prohibit animal product of any kind. This is not even the first time I experienced this kind of issue; earlier I ordered vegetarian biryani and there were hard shelled almonds in it. I almost broke my tooth.Of course, I called the restuarant but they only played dumb. I don't know what's happening with the quality control at this place. Very disappointing!

I usually never write a review, but after eating here I felt the urge to spread the word about this amazing hole in the wall restaurant. From the outside it might not look like much and sure parking is the worst but when you get to taste their food all that washes away. I always want to say how amazing the staff and service was, they were so polite and kind and even gave great suggestions when we were unsure of what to order. I got the combi platter, the fish curry and the lamb curry. All of these meals were absolutely delicious and I cant forget about the amazing garlic naan, everything just melted in your mouth with bursts of flavor. I know I cant wait to go back again!

Great place for classic Indian dishes or to try something new (lamb dishes are always amazing!) Have frequented this restaurant many times and never been disappointed. Prices are very reasonable and portions are large. They can accommodate mild up to super super spicy. BYOB is available and staff is always very pleasant.Take out service is always very fast (and if you ever have to wait they offer you a treat for free).

This is without a doubt the best Indian food I have ever had in Boston. You have to try to samosa chaat, korma, and chili paneer. Naan was terrific too. Service was exceptional as well. Can’t wait to come back and try more things on the menu!

I have never had more amazing food, their food is my absolute favorite. This is my top 1 favorite restaurant of all time. If you like Indian food, this is *the* restaurant for you. You won’t find better food than here I promise.

I ordered the behl and papri chats and was pretty disappointed. It advertises the chat has chickpeas, tamarind chutney, and I felt they were basically just chips. I’ve ordered chats at other Indian places in the area, and they are always more plentiful with chickpeas, potatoes, and other vegetables. Would not recommend these when ordering

Nice ambience, very friendly and courteous staff. Parking is tight on the street. They seem to do a rollicking takeout service.Enjoyed the goat biriyani, Kadai chicken and baingan bharta. Raita paired particularly well with the biriyani. The meat was wonderfully tender and well flavored.Samosas were hot and freshly made which was great but the filling could do with some salt and cumin, the flavor disappointed, plus the crust was slightly overdone. The nans were similarly dry and a bit overdone.A promising start, will be back for more!

Ordered food for a get together, and everyone loved it. Samosas and paneer makhani (cooked on request!) were most popular among the guests. Recommended for any work or personal gathering!

This restaurant is one of the coziest in the neighborhood, and has some excellent service. The food is pretty standard North Indian restaurant fare, but done very well - I'd prefer this restaurant to other Indian restaurants nearby. The interior and atmosphere really ties it all together, though - it's never too busy and the staff is some of the most attentive and legitimately friendly I've met.
