"I had the falafel pizza while visiting Boston. It was tasty and good value for money. Their menu was intriguing (basically, pizza with an Indian flair, as well as Indian dishes) and I wish I lived closer so I could try more of their meals. I've had Chicago Pizza with a Twist and this reminded me of that, only yummier. This place is obviously a family-run affair, kind of a little hole-in-the-wall that isn't big on ambience but is fine for what you get. Service was polite and efficient. Make sure to specify you want everything vegan if you are a vegan."

Peppinos Dosa

★★★★☆ 4.1 (140) • $$

"On our way to our friend's house from TD Garden, we stopped at this place for dinner as we were craving for some Indian food. They named this place as a dosa place so we had to try their dosas. Although most of the food in their menu looked to be from the north India. We ordered masala dosa and Mysore masala dosa. It looked amazing when it came out of the kitchen. Masala dosa was perfectly crispy. Mysore masala dosa has a nice look to it too. Unfortunately, the taste wasn't as great as what we expected. We have had dosa's from various places, but this one did not live up to our expectations. Sambar was too liquidated and chutneys lacked the flavor. I think the best bet would be to try North Indian cuisine at this place. Ambiance was good and service was top notch. Our waiter was so nice."

Woodlands Framingham

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (7)

"Impeccable service! nothing like their other location. The real deal is the food. We tried Chana masala, masala dosa, bhel, Masoor coffee and masala chai. Everything was 5 stars except bhel, which was more like a 4 or 3.5.When food arrived you can tell it was just cooked to order. Batoora still has smoke coming out and dosa was crispy and Chana masala was one of most authentic in this region. I will definitely come back when I am crazing vegetarian food.Restaurant is clean, staff is always moving around, checking with customers and cleaning at the same time."

Surya Veg N Dosa

★★★★☆ 4.1 (186) • $$

"I tried Surya Indian Kitchen and found the food to be flavorful. If you're looking for a good butter chicken or chicken tikka masala they are a good spot to check out. They do not have any seating, so be prepared to take out. Overall, not the best Indian food I've had in the Boston area, but they do offer a fully halal menu and a fairly broad variety of options. I was a bit disappointed by the naan. It may be store bought? I'm not sure, but it didn't taste very fresh and didn't have that fluffiness most fresh naan will have. Either way, a solid place to try!"

Ethiopian Cafe

★★★★★ 4.7 (78)

"We enjoyed dining here. It's a cozy spot, and we almost had the place to ourselves. We sat down at a table and chairs that were lower to the ground, with what resembled a colorful inverted woven basket atop the table. The waitress took this off when the food arrived. Started with lentil sambosas, which were quite tasty. Buttery flaky exterior and nicely cooked (not mushy) lentils inside. It seemed that the combo was the way to go, based on previous reviews we had read. We got beef and chicken. I was partial to the chicken, which had a flavorful and tangy sauce, with a kind of molé consistency. I was happy with the array of veggies we got too. Keep in mind this was all served atop injeera bread, a kind of spongy, very thin, bread great for scooping up sauces. We had to order extra injeera to finish all our scooping. I think we were both partial to the lentil, although I remember enjoying all the vegetable sides. It was a nice array of textures- some mashed, and some whole. We also got to see an interesting coffee preparation, with smoking coffee beans. The coffee must be excellent."

Lemon Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.5 (193)

"Oh Lemon Thai, how I missed you. Wellesley alum here and first things first: Country Style Pad Thai, Crispy Chicken Pad Thai, and Crab Rangoons... always and forever pls. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed by their curry dishes so I don't order these. The only new addition to my usuals is the soft shell crab appetizer/entree and crispy duck!"

Masao's Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.5 (142)

"I liked the buffet style service. You fill your plate and it's weighed. $10 per pound. Good way to do it. The only bad thing was it wasn't too warm and they were out of the caramelized onions. They do have free bread and some cake to sample. The owner seemed like a pretty friendly guy. I give it 3.8 Bellies."

"The vegan pizza is really really good. Someone else had ordered catering from here for me so I can't speak to the service or environment, but the food was delicious and I'm really impressed by the vegan options."

Woodlands

★★★★☆ 3.9 (52)

"I am not vegetarian but I heard so many great things about Woodlands, we had to give them a try. They did not disappoint and we did not even miss the meat. We enjoyed the Masala Dosa, Paneer Butter Masala and Vegetable Biryani. Everything was delicious!"

"Love that they're using local places for their meat substitute! The fake chicken sandwich was great. Poutine was difficult to eat but still good."

Red Lentil Vegetarian & Vegan Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (787) • $$

"So many incredible meals here, this place is a gift from the heavens.Super healthy, super beautiful, super fresh, and lately the service has been better, I think it's one of the greatest restaurants in Massachusetts.Very excited that they opened. Also in Sharon, my wife has checked it out and liked it, and I hope to do the same soon.Absolutely loved my mantra, salad, falafel and fixings, delicious."

Life Alive Organic Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.6 (61) • $$

"Rainbow Harvest Bowl: 10/10This bowl just gives you the warm and fuzzies. The combination of all the chopped vegetables, topped with sweet potato mash, and a tasty and unidentifiable dressing, is amazing. I love it. I highly recommend this bowl and it tastes great with udon noodles instead of rice too!The inside of this place is nice. You go up to the counter and order and then there's plenty of seating. I also got some of the juices. They were good but pretty expensive.I also thought the woman who took my order was so rude. I ordered the Rainbow Harvest bowl and asked to add Brussel sprouts, as suggested by the menu, and she said no because there was too much stuff already in it so it would have to be on the side. I was like okay fine but weird since it's suggested. Then I asked if I could substitute the rice for udon, which I've done before, and she said no I can't do that. Um okay. Then my order came out completely wrong and was a wrap haha. My review is only on the food but this woman needs to be friendlier."

Beatnic - Back Bay

★★★★☆ 3.6 (171) • $$

"I had tried this chain back before it was rebranded, and I found it to be just as good as before. I had the Chicky Parm sandwich with a side of mixed regular and sweet potato fries, which were served with some sort of aioli. It was a good meal, flavorful and filling. The only thing keeping me from giving it five stars was the price. It felt expensive for what you get, even in comparison to other vegan fast food shops. The design of the place was pretty wild, especially the bathroom, but I suppose that is what it was going for."

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."

Tiranga Indian Street Food

★★★★☆ 3.8 (26)

"Indian street food meets American fast casual. The food was interesting to say the least. The P&D sandwich was a crazy combo of spicy, sweet, umami, crunchy, and mushy. It's also huge and very filling. Worth experiencing but not sure if it is for everyone. The Samosa pav was ok but nothing memorable. Kinda strange to have it on a bun. I think the experience would be different if we had dined in and had the food fresh vs sitting for awhile in a takeout container. Anyways it's great to have an new Indian spot that's different in Quincy."

Life Alive Organic Cafe Davis Square

★★★★☆ 3.8 (41) • $$

"Words cannot describe how happy I was to find out that Life Alive has finally expanded to Davis Square (in fact, on its website...they have sooo many locations now.when they only used to be in Central Square / Copley and another place back 4-5 years ago!).I used to frequent Life Alive frequently for a variety of their acai bowls in the morning when I was working in Boston...and certainly do miss having such a great, healthy start from Life Alive every work day!The shop looked very modern and clean. I liked that they did open early! So, guess what I did my first morning I was back in Boston?!?! I walked over from my place to have a proper healthy breakfast there! The food was not only very satisfying, clean and healthy...they also looked good and colorful...totally instagrammable! I also liked that they also had free internet in the cafe as well (although..it wasn't conducive to me because I had to be on a call and there were definitely background noises of people and music playing in the shop!).Overall, I love that Life Alive is finally in Davis Square! I will definitely stop by Life Alive again the next time I find myself back in Boston!"

Banyan Bar + Refuge

★★★★☆ 3.7 (468)

"What a cool and classy place! Very cute and cozy ambiance!! From the low lighting from gorgeous hanging lamps to the columns to the beautiful ceiling decor with cherry blossom branches radiating from the lighting fixtures - just everything here is so beautiful. Clearly, great attention was paid to every detail here. We wanted to sit outside given how warm it is tonight being the third day in October! However we didn't have a reservation thinking it's a Tuesday night. But clearly lots of people had the same idea and the outdoor seating was packed! The wait was 30 minutes if we wanted, but we decided to sit inside and it was still great with the beautiful decor. Definitely advise making reservations especially for outdoor seating if you're thinking for any other day this week which is going to be quite nice :)Asian Gastropub with funky flair is how google maps describes it and it definitely fits the bill! Each dish was an experience- especially the appetizers- pork belly bao buns were soft with sweet flavorful pork and crunchy peanut topping, schezuan chicken dumplings were like ravioli in a rich sauce, and the Korean chicken empanada was very decadent. We were already quite full from the apps so barely tasted the entrees. Dan Dan noodles were okay imo and the Korean short ribs were tender and tasty but cold. We do have both of those as leftovers to take home and enjoy tomorrow.Service was very quick and efficient.Overall a great experience and will return to try some of their other dishes!Absolutely recommend! Make reservations and go here this week and enjoy the beautiful weather while it's still here :)"

Tasca Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (1142) • $$$

"We haven't been to tasca in forever because it's a bit far from back bay. We went last night and it was great! The food is more of a 4 for me but with service & price it becomes a 5. Always had a great time here!We had the following:Patatas bravas - Good, liked the red kinda spicy sauce Croquettes - SO much jamon. Highly recommend!!Shrimp - Yummy, also a little spicy!Lamb - Loved this, cooked perfectly and the mint sauce was great Churros - Enjoyed these but would try a diff dessert next time No pressure here to hurry and leave. We had sangria and took our time after eating. Will be back!"

Falafellas

★★★★☆ 4.1 (16)

"A new, great spot in the area. The menu is simple--3 different kinds of falafels served in a couple different ways. I got the herby falafel sandwich, which was tasty and quite filling. And only $6.50! I also tasted the sweet falafel, which was very unique and something I'll consider on my next visit. The server was very friendly and helpful during my first visit. Overall would highly recommend!"

The Little Window

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"I really enjoy the crepes at the little window, but the whole little window and general littleness of the place kind of detract from the experience. It's great to go here if you have a bunch of time to spare (everything is made to order), it's nice outside (the only available seating is outside, next to the little window), and you don't mind paying the high prices (a crepe is around $7-8). However, the quality is very good. I've never been disappointed with the crepes I've ordered here, especially since you can choose the ingredients you'd like them to include. You have to kind of hit things right to have a really great little window experience: they have to be running quick and not crowded, there has to be a seat available outside, etc, but it can be done with a little luck. If you're not so lucky, I suggest you call well in advance to order your food, go pick it up at the window, and take it back to enjoy in your home or office."
