Base Crave

My partner and I got vegetable momos, eggplant basil paneer curry, wild boar mushroom stir-fry chili, and garlic butter naan -TASTE: 5/5 - so flavorful across the board. The vegetable momos were well seasoned, the paneer was satisfying w a slightly spicy tomato-based curry sauce (wish there was more eggplant though), and the wild boar was tasty. Would come back to try moreTEXTURE: 4/5 - the steamed momos were tender, and we enjoyed the crunch of the naan; great contrast to soak up the sauces of both entrees PRICE: 4/5 - total came out to $70, higher than we expectedSERVING SIZE: 4/5 - came hungry, devoured everything, and left satisfied SERVICE: 4/5 - we walked in at 12:30pm on a Saturday and were seated immediately. Our waiter asked how spicy we'd like our dishes, on a level of 1-10, and our food started coming out 10min laterATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - a warm, inviting space inside. So glad we had the opportunity to eat Nepali food!PARKING: 4/5 - parked right on Huron Ave at a free street spot

My parents and I ordered lassis, soup, curry, stir fry, Momo, and ribs and everything was AMAZING. The food tasted unique and filled with flavor. The service was quick and kind, you could tell they are proud of this restaurant and food. I would definitely come back.

Fresh ingredients cooked to order. Extraordinary, multiple layers of flavours revealed through delicate spices. Truly a different culinary experience. Worth the trip - worth finding. Interior of restaurant is lacking. And it can get loud as there is no acoustic treatment. Rudimentary.Focus on the food and you will be a happy person, Not inexpensive - but absolutely worth it.

A quiet weekday evening. Small but kind staff invited us in. We opted for indoor seating because we were feeling the heat a little. Outdoor seating looked nice. It had that off the curb in the street set up with concrete barricades. I got the fresh ginger and tamarind soda, which was a first time try. It was the most refreshing thing I've had all summer. It was cold, sweet, lemony, with a gingery kick. It tasted healthy in a good way, like energizing. I'd swing by the neighborhood just for that. Which, btw, street parking only. The lamb was grilled so good. Good char. Good juicyness. Not too gamey. I use to hate lamb anything but these days I've come realize the yummy in different preparations and seasonings. Haddock was a great too. The roasted grilled veggies for both were excellent and not overdone. Veggies tend to soften too much or get burnt, not the case here. We had the chicken Momo for an appetizer. It was delicious with the sauce. They're reminiscent of other dumplings in the hand pinched pouches. The skin was not too thin or thick, it just the right amount of bite. Did I mention the soda already? Judging by how many people were working, and size of the restaurant, I think I'd hate to come here on a significantly busier evening. That's just us, tho. Great spot. Will return.

Base Crave basically makes us crave Nepali flavors. I've only tried a handful of other Nepali places, but this place does it great! I like the spices they use in their dishes, especially the rosemary. The spicy rating system out of 10 is interesting. I think 6 is the sweet spot, but I've tried 5 and 8 too. 8 is medium death for me. Also, the lamb momos are tasty.The portion sizes are good, though the prices are on the high side. Service is fine but could be better about bringing water (though maybe I was chugging because 8). The interior is spacious and clean and the decor is nice.We'll definitely be back!

Omg soooo good I want to come back and try all the vegan dishes and all the levels of spiciness. Gundruk Soup! Get it!Vegetable Mo Mo! Get it!Can't wait to come back for more. Great food, friendly service. Get ready for a flavor experience you will love.

Superb food - unique tastes, highest quality ingredients, prepared perfectly. The grilled cashew haddock and vegetables were so satisfying I only wanted to eat half and am looking forward to the rest and most of the impossibly fluffy rice for lunch. Best mango lassi I ever had. Also needed to leave room for the blueberry haluwa dessert.

Very flavorful, nice folks serving delicious meals. Went for lunch, very clean and not crowded. Will be adding Base Crave to the list of local Cambridge favorites.

Awesome flavorful food in a cute family owned restaurant. I've tried a lot of different appetizers and entrees and you cannot go wrong. The stir fry chili plates are my favorite. I love how they allow you to decide on the spice level from one to ten. I've tried both seven and eight and they are indeed spicy and not for those who are not a fan of spicy. I will go up to a nine or ten on my next trip.

The lamb bhuteko was so flavorful. I'd never heard of bhuteko before or had puffed crispy rice but it was all excellent together. There was a deliciously strong cumin taste to the lamb, along with other yummy flavors.
