Very good food and service. The host is kind and attentive. The food uses high quality ingredients, which makes the food taste much better than other options around. The service is fast and very kind. One of the best places in Cambridge. Food is fairly priced and very filling.All their vegetarian options are great and prepared with quality. Definitely recommend!

I regularly visit this restaurant for authentic Punjabi flavours. The food is delicious, fresh and the reasonably priced.The owner is very friendly and I have always been greeted with smiles. I usually order 1 main dish and they are very happy to customise the dish to my taste.I ordered a Lamb Saag with roti, was delicious. Highly recommended!

Perfect location and delicious food. The goat Biryani I had was one of the finest so far and Mr. Anil was very friendly and helpful in suggesting the best beer to go with the Biryani. This is probably the best Indian food in the area.

The curry lamb was so good, seasoned but not spicy ( I have a sensitive stomach) and the nan bread was phenomenal. I will definitely be back!

It was delicious! The meat was tender, the bread was nice and crispy, and the potatoes were just right. The man who served us was very polite and attentive. The atmosphere was wonderful. I don’t normally get dessert at a restaurant but I was so delighted with the place that I order some and it was delicious! I would absolutely give this place a visit!

I have ordered veggie platter which has 4 variety of starters. To be honest I loved each and every item in that platter. For starters, I have ordered panner butter masala and chicken tikka masala!If you are coming here, please order these dishes, they are fabulous. Finally i have ended my meal with gulab jamun. Wow what a dessert!

This has been my go-to takeout for years, and for a reason. It is absolutely delicious, and the owner and staff are warm, friendly, and helpful. When I have guests over and they take the first bite, they always look at me in surprise at how delicious the food is. High quality meats, nuanced sauces, warm and complex chapati and naan….There are many Indian restaurants in Cambridge, and I’ve tried them all, but this longtime community institution serves up the very best.

Desi Dabha is definitely the best Indian food that I have had in the Boston/Cambridge area. The food is amazing and the servers have been very nice to us every time we come. I look forward to going back again and again. Highly recommend trying them out!

Today (May 24, 2022), I had my first buffet in Cambridge, MA at Desi Dhaba. I am satisfied. A very good desi restaurant near Central square. Taste is OK. Apart from lunch, I had chai and sweet. Keep up your good work, Anil and team. ??

If you're looking for excellent Indian food in Cambridge, this is the place! The food is delicious, served quickly, and bonus that they have a full bar. Can't go wrong here.
