Bonfire Indian Grill

Had lunch here last Sunday and was very impressed with their Thaali. Excellent service, and exceptional food! Best Thaali I've had in the US easily. We loved this place already, but after trying their Thaali recently they might have just become our favorite spot!

Everyone swears by Royal Indian, but this is my favorite Indian in the area. Chill atmosphere, ample seating, great service, and (in my opinion) the better food. Staff is so nice. Great portion sizes and good takeaway containers make it so I can turn anything I get into two amazing meals.

I consider myself to have a pretty high spice tolerance and I have had my good share of Indian food. I unfortunately have not been able to try this spot in person, or try more than one meal. I had the Chicken tikka masala (spicy) with garlic naan. The meal was fantastic - the rice, chicken, and the sauce great. Just a warning: They do not play around with the heat....I was left sweating at the end. Job well done. Will come back for more. The rest of my family enjoyed their meals also (one vegetarian) as well.

$18 Bonfire Platters (Thali) comes with 2 small portions of curry ($3 extra for a little bit of lamb is not worth), dry chicken kebab (too salty), salad (carrots, cucumber, and onions?), small sweet ball dessert and rice (could be more fragrant) is not value option for takeaway lunch. Box lacks space to contain much curry. Price is a little high for the small portions. For better value, could reduce price or change box packaging for larger portions.

Four stars by definition. Met my expectations overall but did not blow me away enough to earn the final fifth star. I had the Onion Pakora as an appetizer and the Gongura Chicken as a main. I also had the opportunity to have some of the Papadum. Though, asking if they had any was a bit tricky (I didn't know what it was called at the time), and it is not brought out by default. Papadum and the sauces were solid. The cracker was thin and had good flavor. These were a green herbal one and one that was sweeter and had a tiny bit of heat. The Onion Pakora was good. The onion was nicely fried and not overloaded on the breading, grease, or salt. A simple appetizer I loved munching on. Dipping in the sauces (the same ones as for the Papad) helped add some extra dimensions. However, a spicy sauce would have been very welcome here. These two would make this a three-star experience, but the Gongura Chicken elevated it to the fourth star. The chicken was cooked phenomenally! It was very soft and tender. I ordered it as medium spicy, and there was some noticeable heat which had me reaching for the water but not crying or gasping for air. The sauce was savory, tangy, and zesty, and I think it had a pleasant acidity too. How to tell something is great, it tastes good both hot and the next day being removed from the fridge!Rice was one of the options (the other being naan) as an addition to the chicken, and it was cooked very nicely. Always a good option combined with protein, especially a saucy protein! Portion sizes were very reasonable for the prices, too. I have no complaints about the service; it was speedy and attentive. However, I wish sides and extras were spelled out on the menu. Seeing how challenging it was to describe Papadum, it would have made it more accessible if it had been written somewhere.

Never expected as good as we got here! We had time to kill in an unfamiliar area. We knew that we could go to Moody St in Waltham for Indian food, there are several choices there, but we weren't sure we'd find parking nor if we could get back in time. Yelp steered us here, less than 5 minutes from our ultimate destination; ample parking. So with the stellar reviews, we figured it was worth a try!And it was good! I love dosas, hubs not so much, and I was excited to find a menu with dosas that also had the kind of dishes he prefers. We shared vegetable samosas as appetizer. He had his chana masala which he loved; it was served with a dish of white rice (probably basmati.). I've never seen chicken dosa, only vegetable or fruit ones, so I ordered it. I got a bowl of a delicious tomato-based sauce that had chunks of onion and tender chicken in it, and a huge rolled dosa. I wasn't sure quite how to tackle it, tbh! I tore off a few inches of the dosa and unrolled it, spooned in some of the sauce with a nice chunk of the chicken, eat and repeat, so so yummy! The chunks, no bones, were tender and flavorful; the sauce nicely spiced, tingly but not .If we're in this neighborhood again, I'd definitely return, and we definitely recommend it.

My family & I have had the pleasure to experience the wonderful food on a few occasions. The lunch time menu was delightful with enough left for dinner, I rather the slightly more expensive choice of 2 main dishes. Very polite & fast service. My take out orders were Packed v.well. Recommend chicken Korma/so tender, Gongura chicken, Samosa chaat & garlic Naan. Have tried many Indian restaurants & this has been one of the best.

Chicken was old. Chutney didn't taste like chutney at all. It tasted like old ketchup with food coloring and wocestershire sauce from the bottom of a trash barrel. Asked for mild spice and food turned me into a dragon. Not worth it. Go to Royal India.

We order takeout from Bonfire Grill on a regular basis. Over the last three sessions, food quality has deteriorated. I have been getting Hyderabadi Chicken Masala on a regular basis but recently it came with such second-rate chicken pieces, as to necessitate discarding. I complained about it in my new order and thankfully it improved. Among that day's purchase was also Gongura Chicken, which was so saturated with salt that it had been tossed again. With the high cost of food, I will seriously have to reconsider having this as my favorite go-to restaurant. Not happy at all!

This is my neighborhood gem. I love the friendly staff and there food is amazing. I always got take out from this place but the ambience is very cozy at this place.
