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!

We were very excited for a cool looking new Indian restaurant to open in Brookline with an interesting menu. But it was disappointing on several fronts.We tried a mix of apps - chicken 999, kachori chat, and chole bhatura. The flavor was good, I'll give it that. I wasn't blown away by it, but tasty. However, it's really hard to know if anything is being prepared on site. It felt like a "reheat and serve" meal which is not what I'm looking for when I eat in a restaurant. It's also served in plastic to-go containers which again points to the reheat and serve point I described. I feel like they had all the makings of a good new restaurant - colorful, vibrant decor, interesting variety of menu items (some hard to find dishes too), and in a location that really could have used a fun Indian restaurant. But alas, the execution is poor.

Went in with a lot of anticipation considering we loved the food at Mirchi Nation - Marlborough location. Bit disappointed.The Brookline location is small hole in wall type setup with maybe seating for max. 10 people, very similar to the business around them. We ordered takeout which was prompt and ready on time.Their famous Mirchinator wings fell short. The sauce was more ketchupy and the chicken did not taste fresh or spice infused. The malabar paratha were bad. They were not fresh and tasted of rancid oil. Felt they were the regular store bought frozen parathas which went stale.The butter chicken was good and the gravy was flavourful.The Menu does not include your usual Breads (tandoori roti, naans etc.). Probably they just opened and might include these in future.Looks like a good place to try out light Indian snack food: appetizers, chats, dosas and different versions of Maggie (popular ramen brand in India)

Delicious but incredibly spicy, in a wonderful way! Their biryanis are delicious, we loved the goat, and while their pav bhaji was a tad salty, it was stilla hit!

I tried the Brookline location. It was just average. Portions were small and fried foods seemed a bit greasy, not super fresh.

Wow! Finally a legit south indian place in Boston! The biriyanis here are amazing. We got the chicken 65 biryani, goat biriyani, and old city biriyani. They were all terrific and tasted authentic.Boston was in desperate need of an authentic south indian (Telangana probably ) place and now it finally has one!! The dosa was good too..wish they gave more sambar with it.Please do yourself a favor and try some food that's not just the same American-punjabi-style items (i.e Tikka masala, butter chicken, naan,etc) and experience some legit south indian dishes!

A perfect take-out destination. We loved our Aloo Gobi, Punjabi Chole Masala, and Malabar Fish Curry. The Malabar Paratha was also phenomenal. It's so good we went twice in less than a week and already can't wait to order again. A Brookline gem.

Amazing place! Portions are huge, they have different levels of spice for different palates, and my husband is from Kerala and outside of NYC has trouble finding decent Indian food. This is one of the only Indian restaurants in Boston he likes. We haven't eaten in, only gotten food delivered. Have tried the butter chicken, chicken tikka, naan, samosa chaat, goat korma, mango lassi, and all good. They also have a lot of Indian street snacks that not all restaurants have around here. I haven't been to their restaurant in Marlborough, but the one in Brookline is really good. Also make sure when you're ordering on their website you choose the correct restaurant, because it defaults to Marlborough.

Went in the other day as I had heard much about their other location, and was thrilled to have new South Indian food options in/around Coolidge Corner. As others have mentioned, the place is small - do not plan to eat here if you have a group. Perhaps because they're still new, they were out of a few items - like lamb (another guest had requested it) and idlis/uttapam. The teams recommendation of the Chicken 999 was a good one - the appetizer was excellent and ridiculous spicy which I love. The Curry Leaf chicken was equally good AND equally spicy. We took whatever remained home. The biryani was solid but the rice is served on top of the chicken - had us questioning how it's made (ususally the protein is mixed in?) - but the taste was good enough, so we took the leftovers home. The dosa was a bummer - masala and sambhar were tasty but the dosa was thick, not crispy at all. I took a star away for the presentation in ALL plastic and styrofoam as you see in the pictures... and the lack of water readily available (so you needed to buy a plastic bottle of water). For $63+, should it really be this much waste, especially when dining in store? Might as well take it all home if you're removing plastic lids and eating with plastic utensils? I'd urge the folks to reconsider all the trash.MAY try take out one time - based on the apps alone as I assume some of the above stems from being new - but felt my first time was average.
