The Most Scrumptious Indian in Boston

Anmol

★★★★☆ 4.3 (354)

"We've been to Anmol a couple times now and each time has been consistent with their food. We've enjoyed everything we've tried there. My favorite by far is the Aloo Tikki Chaat and their Naan bread. The Aloo Tikki Chaat is so flavorful and delicious. The naan bread is cooked perfectly and great for dipping in everything. The Chicken Korma and soup were also good. Overall, I'd say that Anmol is a great place to try!"

Bheemas Indian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.7 (18)

"Love this spot Good service. It's not a fancy joint, but none of that matters. Here's what counts:Chicken vindalooMango lassiThat's it. It's too good for me to try anything else."

Grand India

★★★★★ 4.8 (109) • $$

"Incredible food as always from the establishment! The ambience is great and this is a family place that really value service and it's customers. The food is extremely authentic and the owner here really cares about the quality of it all. Whenever I'm here, I always get a dosa and fry a few of their appetizers."

Rasoi Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (682) • $$

"I reviewed Rasoi ages ago, so it's time for a post-covid update. The (already) lovely space recently had a facelift, with formerly mango colored walls now an elegant and soothing deep blue, photos of food preparations in India replaced with more contemporary wall art, and subtle, attractive lighting.The menu has remained roughly the same with some newer options (though post-lockdown prices are substantially higher). The food remains really really good, with main course portions still large enough to satisfy a hearty appetite. I do miss the dinner meals with a choice of rice or masala potatoes AND lentils. Now it's white or brown rice only (this and the steep price increases are the reason for the update to 4 stars). I'm so glad that the Saturday (vegan/vegertarian) and Sunday (mixed menu) brunches are returning! (While I do love naan, I will miss sorely the appetizer-sized dosas on Saturday though.)What seems not to have changed is the friendly and attentive service. I always feel welcomed and appreciated when dining here - water glasses are quickly topped off, menu questions from friends less familiar with Indian food are respectfully and sensitively handled, and requests for recommendations are given with a smile.Great job Rasoi!"

Bombay Chaat

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (9)

"This place is great - had the Somosa Chole Chaat (samosa topping with a chickpea curry and lots of fixins). Delicious food, great portion and the staff are super friendly. Will definitely be back again soon to try more on their massive menu. If you're in the area, don't miss this spot! (Also, it's about $1 cheaper for most items if you call or order there, as opposed to online). There are also a few awesome Indian and Halal markets in the same parking lot"

Gourmet India

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (132)

"This is food at the food court. Food was good. Great price for combo especially how it comes with one appetizer."

Kurry Masala Express

★★★★☆ 3.5 (20) • $

"A relative recommended this place. I was skeptical at first. Good Indian food in New Hampshire? Doesn't happen. I was very wrong. This was some of the best Indian food I've had in a long time. They had a nice selection of vegetarian and meat dishes, some you don't usually see in Indian restaurants. The staff were helpful and patient in explaining what was in each dish. I would make a special trip from Mass to go to this place."

Masala

★★★★☆ 3.9 (479) • $$

"I recently visited Masala for their all-you-can-eat Indian buffet, and it was an absolute delight! The variety of Indian food options they offer is impressive - from flavorful tikka masala to creamy palak paneer, delicious garlic naan, succulent tandoori chicken, okra, and more! Their weekday lunch specials from 11 am to 3 pm for $14.95 per person are a steal. The ambiance was calming, with soothing Indian music playing in the background. I particularly enjoyed sitting by the window, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. The customer service was top-notch, with attentive staff catering to our needs. I can't wait to come back for another fantastic dining experience at Masala!"

Taste of India

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (97) • $$

"My usual place was closed so I decided to try this one which was much further. It was delicious. It took me 25 minutes to get home on a cold night and the food was still really hot.I had jalfreezi and mixed vegetables which were both really good. I liked that they weren't sweet and overly creamy like most Indian places make for people like..me. The samosas were really good. The only complaint I have is the mint chutney I spent extra for tasted like it was old or fermented. It wasn't minty, but it's not enough to reduce the rating. Which brings me to... STOP REVIEWING THE DELIVERY APP. You didn't get a fork with your order and you gave it two stars? You don't like Indian food, but you still had the gall to give this place a bad review. People...look at yourselves. This place was delicious and tasted pretty real, not so much Americanized."

Mirchi Nation-Indian Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (20)

"I had catering from this place at someone's event from the Marlborough, so was glad they opened one in the neighborhood. The lamb kheema dosa was really good, great flavor in the lamb kheema. Didn't really need Sambhar but that was good too. Dosa batter tasted fresh, wasn't super crispy but crispy enough. Can't wait to try more!"

Peppers Indian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.6 (21)

"Peppers Indian Cuisine opened a few weeks ago at Northborough Crossing, across the parking lot from Wegmans. This Indian restaurant offers full service dining, takeout, and delivery (third party apps). The dining room has dim lighting and seems like a nice place to have a sitdown dinner. After doing food shopping nearby, I was hungry and decided to order takeout dinner online through Toast (no fees) at Peppers Indian Cuisine.They were offering Christmas & New Year specials including holiday special combo dinners for 1-2 people, family meals and party packs. I also noticed other Indian restaurants in Metrowest were offering family meal deals too. I ordered the $23 special, which included an appetizer, biryani dish, dessert, and can of soda. I chose Manchurian Chicken, Vegetable Dum Biryani, Rasagulla, and Can of Diet Coke. My order was bagged and ready in about 15 minutes after ordering. There was enough food for 2 people to share. The Manchurian Chicken were breaded boneless chicken pieces coated in a sweet and very spicy sauce. The chicken was very chewy to eat. The Vegetable Dum Biryani had a mix of vegetables, red onion, soft basati rice with spices, good flavors. The Rasagulla had 4 soft dough balls in a clear sweet syrup.I definitely needed the Diet Coke to wash down the aftertaste of this big meal with leftovers. Overall, the food I ordered was pretty good."

Guru The Caterer

★★★★☆ 4.3 (490) • $

"Have been ordering delivery here fairly regularly during COVID. Happy that they seem to limit the plastic....The food is amazing. Great flavors and perfectly finished. Will warn that the food is fairly spicy....so make sure to order items that will cool the heat (raita). Good portion sizes.....always end up with a lot of left overs, and price is very fair. (Love the samosas, and the biryanis....but beware of the heat...if you can't handle spicy not the place for you.)"

Al Maidah Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.8 (51)

"I came here because my go to wasn't open. To my surprise, they had what i wanted; chili chicken, Manchurian Gobi and actually they had a nice selection overall.The taste was ok, not the best I've ever had but it was good and I'd still recommend it. The vegetable curry was pretty good too. I actually really like that they spice their rice so i appreciate that too AND they gave chutneys to go with the lamb samosa. The samosa tasted good, but seemed a little dry, but was still good. One thing is that i ordered on GrubHub and I am pretty sure they forgot to make my order. I arrived after GH texted me to say it was ready and it wasn't. I waited for 15 minutes which wasn't bad, but confused of they forgot it or what. I'd go here again."

Curry House

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (214) • $$

"Was hesitant to post a 3 star (good, but not great) review during the pandemic, but given the news on Boston Restaurant Talk (https://bostonrestaurants.blogspot.com/2022/01/curry-house-in-brookline-has-closed.html?m=1), it is now or never to share my Curry House covid period experience for them at this Coolidge Corner location.***Curry House in Brookline is offering curbside pickup during the pandemic which worked since I'm not ready for dine in.In case you want to order a soda with your meal, just a heads up that theirs don't come by the can.First impression of their naan wasn't great. There was a black piece of charcoal encrusting a paler portion of the burnt half of the bread surface when I unwrapped the foil. My thought, bad QC. My mom's, wow, they don't clean well.The naan was good sized, and helped to tame the spiciness of the food, but was rather tough, and not particularly enjoyable. And I'm a carb lover. It likely didn't help that I had recently attempted my first homemade naan with yeast and yogurt during my bout of covid baking, and it had been really tender and poofy.The Aloo Chaat (spiced potatoes, lentil wafers made with yogurt and sweet and sour sauce) came hot and portioned for sharing as an appetizer. With no spice level option provided, it came with a kick - not sure what in the dish was hot though, since it wasn't consistently evident in every bite.We sampled a number of the vegetarian appetizers having ordered their Vegetable Platter (vegetable samosa (1), 2 each: aloo tikki, paneer pakora, vegetable pakora). I found the aloo tikki so gingery as to be spicy hot. The paneer was super firm with a dry crust. Of the four, I liked the samosa and the vegetable pakora best. The chicken pakora (6 good sized pieces) was red tinged meat inside the chickpea batter crust, that ranged from either rather dry white meat, to sufficiently moist dark meat.The Saag Paneer (requested mild) came with white Basmati rice. Note that mild here does not mean no spicy/heat. In fact at least one mouthful revealed a significant hit of the hot, as we realized it might not have been sufficiently well mixed. But it was the slow burn type and not too much for me to handle, especially when accompanied by the rice. Speaking of which, their rice was well prepared with separate grains and a nice flavor.The Chicken Jalfrozie was described as a cream sauce with some vegetables, and you could actually distinguish the pieces of peppers and onions somewhat. Requested mild as well, it also retained a measure of heat, but nothing I could not manage. The chicken was chunky and tender.For dessert, the Rasmalai (cottage cheese patties in creamy milk sauce with nuts) was a nice mild treat. Not the best I've ever had, but it sufficed. Same with their Kheer (aka rice pudding).Their mango lassi is nice and thick, with perhaps a touch too much ice, but it isn't priced at a point which makes it an easy no brainer add on. But at least it was good.Service was prompt and pleasant.So for a potential 4 star trip, I would try ordering a meal with rice, samosa or vegetable pakora (if you like that sort of thing), and a dessert if you are hankering for a little something sweet to end your meal with."

Spice Art

★★★★★ 4.5 (13)

"On my way to the Canton train station, saw the newly opened "spice art" and a craving for some spicy food struck. I ordered a takeout. Wait time was a decent 30 mins. We ordered hara bhara kabab, chicken tikka, order of garlic naan, paneer tikka masala and home style chicken curry. Hara bhara kabab was a hit, chicken tikka was slightly dry for my palate but spices were spot on. The chutneys that came along made a great dip for chicken tikka. Naan was perfectly cooked and paired very nicely with our entrées. The portion of rice along with our takeout was plenty.The place is clean and service was friendly. We will definitely try other items on the menu. So happy to have access to Indian restaurant in the Canton square!"

India Quality Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (899) • $$

"Last 2 times I've been to Boston I've eaten here. Very solid Indian food. I love the spicy onion chutney they give you. So freaking good! The Achar (mixed pickle) is also delicious. I ordered lamb Rogan Josh tonight but I got lamb Korma instead. Didn't even care as it was very tasty. My buddy got straight up chicken curry and the gravy was spot on. Never had a bad meal here. Look forward to next time"

"Great food, best Indian food in New England area. Their chole reminded me of the Delhi ki galliyan. The service is also very good, very warm and welcoming staff. Must visit."

Curry Leaf

★★★★★ 4.6 (33)

"Curry Leaf replaced the now defunct (and oh so delicious Bapu G's) bringing Pakistani and Indian food to Foxborough. The establishment brought some upgrades in the form of booths and their menu is diverse and versatile.Our takeout order was a tad late but they were apologetic and were slammed but the food eventually made it's way into our bellies. The mixed vegetable platters were awesome and allowed us to try a variety of the apps in one order. Clever and well executed. The chicken Tikka ($13.95) was pretty good as was the Palak Paneer ($13.95). Even though we ordered the Tikka medium, there was absolutely no heat. The raita never made it into our bag.All in all the food was pretty good except for the rice which was super bland and didn't have any Nigrla seeds or spices you sometimes find in other restaurants. The portion of the rice was generous however.All in all this is a pretty good place and i definitely recommend it to people looking for a tasty meal."

Eggmania- Chelmsford

★★★★☆ 4.3 (32)

"Hands down, some of the best Indian food we've had in the Boston area. How I wish this was closer to home!We were returning from New Hampshire and wanted to grab dinner on the way. Eggsmania came up in the search list and had great reviews. We easily placed our order online, probably one of their first ones of the evening since they open at 5 pm. It was a quick pick up and after an hour's drive home, the food was still hot. The surati gotalo had bits of chopped boiled egg in a tomato-onion base gravy (I'd guess). It was so good! Next, the chicken keema. It was cooked well, flavorful! Both of these came with a side of white bread, honestly, a great accompaniment if you cannot have the more traditional 'pav'. The best part about these dishes was the opportunity to try something new, rather than the same saag, tikka masala, makhani, etc. We also got the paneer volcano biryani which was tasty but I may not order it again. The other two, surati gotalo and chicken keema, are definitely on my 'order again' list. Their menu has many mouth-watering dishes so it's definitely going to be hard to narrow it down when we visit again! Also, one star for the friendly staff!"

Mehfil Indian Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.5 (21)

"The food is excellent, but very expensive for what you get. The takeaway price is for a very small entree, but then you have to pay an additional $3 for rice. All in all, it was good, but for 4 meals, naan, a mango lassie, and 2 donuts, it was $125."

Vaisakhi Indian Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (156) • $$

"Super delicious and wide variety of Punjabi food! They have chicken, lamb, vegetarian, and seafood dishes and they are all amazing and super unique!If you are new to Indian food, you must try Malai Kofta and Butter Chicken! Super friendly and not spicy options! Also I recommend mango lassi which is a mango yogurt drink but if you are lactose intol this is dangerousss!! Butter Chicken - 8/10 Tomato based chicken curry and the chicken was super moist and juicy! I love the tomato base but a little too tomato-y and I wished it was more buttery Lamb Korma - 10/10 Our favorite !! The lamb was so tender and soft and melts in your mouth! Flavor of the curry was super flavorful! Malai Kofta - 10/10 This is vegetarian and the "meatballs" we're pact with flavor and I can't even tell it wasn't meat! Definitely makes you feel good and healthy! Garlic bread - 9/10 I love the finely minced garlic and butter but I wished the bread was a littleeeee bit thicker Tandoori mixed grill plate - 5/10Everything was super toasty but the chicken was so dry and big piece too! They had lamb and a piece of shrimp in there but overall not worth it I would pass on this Also they gave us a free thing of pulao rice!!! Amazing service and wide variety of options for all dietary restrictions! Overall, everything was delicious and I have absolutely no complaints ! :)"

Dosa n Curry

★★★★☆ 3.7 (349) • $$

"Never reviewed? Damn! Has been great with all their orders atleast in the last 2 years. The only place where I get my Rava onion masala dosa. The cauliflower 65(Gobi 65) was crispy and the chutneys(dipping sauces) they served were fresh. The tamarind one needs salt and a bit more zing but hey u can add salt on your own as you please :). A nice place to take care of my dosa cravings when am not in the mood to drive afar."

"I ordered garlic naan, paneer Tikka masala, badami khee (homemade rice pudding flavored with cardamom and blended with almonds), and mango Lassi one for pick up order. Everything was extremely flavorful, fresh, and well prepared. All extremely reasonably priced as well! The garlic Naan had plenty of chopped garlic and was a perfect way to wipe my bowl clean of the paneer tikka masala. Badami khee was ab great way to end the meal, refreshing way to balance the heat. Mango lassi was also very refreshing. They allow for indoor eating in a safe manner. Plenty of parking in the plaza. I cannot wait to come back!"

★★★★☆ 3.9 (217) • $$

"Urgh.... Disappointing experience on Saturday. I had praised this restaurant so much to my cousin visiting from Canada. We ordered the Gobi Manchuria ($14), and Lamb Vindaloo ($18!). Gobi Manchuria was 'ok', Lamb Vindaloo was really disappointing. As my cousin pointed out too, it felt like cubed lamb in tomato paste. Bleh....And, the white rice was stale! Tasted like old stale rice.Two dishes, over $30. And it wasn't even good anymore. Thanks but no thanks. We're not going back.Plenty of other Indian restaurants to explore closeby."

Shan-A-Punjab

★★★★☆ 3.8 (506) • $$

"Shan-A-Punjab is a great spot! Upon arrival, the waiter brought out some complimentary papadum to the table, which was the perfect way to start out the meal. I really enjoyed trying the 3 sauces it came with, each of which had a totally different flavor.We ordered garlic naan, lamb curry, and duck vindaloo. The entrees came with plenty of rice, which helped to soak up the curry, in addition to the naan. If you're a fan of spice, order the curry spicy for a nice kick.Overall, it seems like this is more of a takeout spot, but the restaurant itself has a decent ambiance. I think it's worthwhile to dine in, even if just to try the papadum! Pro tip: I checked in on Yelp and received 10% off. I was impressed that they honored the discount, gold star in my book!"

Himalayan Curry House

★★★★☆ 4.4 (83)

"Took the Mrs. here on a Wednesday night. First impression wasn't great as we were the only guests in the restaurant at 6pm . We had a waitress that was in training so I won't harp too much on the service, though it was dead silent because there was no music playing. The drinks were very strong, got my girl pretty drunk off two which is a win for me financially. The food was absolutely amazing. The chicken tikka was the best I've ever fucking had. And look at me..... I'm a chicken tikka kinda guy. I've had them all. The app was good too. I recommend this place for takeout 100%. Dine in is fine if you're into eating alone in an Indian restaurant."

"Such a pleasant surprise tucked into this corner of a nondescript shopping center. The kitchen really cares and is turning out some high quality authentic Indian cuisine, lovingly prepared. The staff is friendly and along with the chef, aim to please, tailoring heat to your taste when possible and on this visit even preparing a special dish by request - eggplant korma which was melt in your mouth delicious. Fun exotic cocktail menu, lots of veggie options and sumptuous, generous portions. You will leave happy and satisfied. Recommend a visit to Bollywood in RI!"

"Look at the color on those curries!! Got a chance to stop at Rang Indian Bistro, a local restaurant in Boston and was absolutely blessed at amazing, quality food.I ordered one of my personal favorites, Lamb Vindaloo, and my coworker ordered the chicken curry. I was definitely sweating from the spice, but it was delicious, especially with their fresh naan. The bite of chicken curry was also quite yummy . The samosa appetizer was also really good. $10.95 for the Vindaloo and $9.95 for the Chicken Curry, esp for the quantity, is an absolute deal during lunch hours. 5/5"

D'Guru Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (151) • $

"Not bad for indian food smack dab in the middle of dtx/south station. I did not get the combo the first time I went, i just opted for the chicken tikka masala with white rice and it was pretty good. I do wish the curry was more thick but it seems to be a trend to be thin. My meal was 7.50 and with a mango lassi included it was $10.50. The mango lassi/ other drinks are in the fridge to the left. The line goes very quick. Some seating if you get here early... the spice level was higher than mild so that got me sweatin'~ They take card which I like. The chicken was sort of dry ..but then some piece weren't..I would definitely return when I crave indian. I cannot even compare this against the food truck in dewey square because it's different than that."

Boston Halal Indian Mediterranean

★★★★☆ 3.9 (8)

"As a desi, I'm always a bit skeptical of fusion places. But this place really makes it work! Had a lamb tikka bowl over brown rice with a sweet & spicy tamarind sauce. Topping it with "western" toppings like hummus and pickles was something new and different. Everything tasted fresh. The portions were large. And all for $12? I will be returning again on an empty stomach! (I should mention that I went to the Davis Sq. location - super-friendly staff.)"
