This place is great. A wide variety of vegetarian foods and they can make some items vegan. They also have a weekday buffet available. Be careful what level spice you ordered as even the mild can be pretty hot for those seeking a "true mild". Waiters are nice and overall good service even during busy times.

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.

I was so excited to try the food here but it was nothing but super average.The service was average, nothing to write home about. They were not personable at all and the whole process felt very automated.It took forever to flag someone if we needed something. The service was what you would generally get from a small take out place and not from a proper sit down restaurant.We had the empty plates sitting on the table for what felt like forever. And mind you they didn't seem short on staff. We had different servers throughout our entire dinner-, one took our order, different staff server different dishes, someone else cleared the table and someone different brought the check. The food was very average. the medu vada was dry and hard from inside, it is supposed to be fluffy. The cauliflower 65 was tasty. The rava dosa and sambar was not good. The pav bhaji felt like masala overload. We also tried tikki chaat, the tikki was still cold from the center.Bathrooms were very clean. The restaurant had a good vibe but given the food and service, I don't think we will come back again.

I went to Peppinos Dosa located on 434 Moody St in Waltham, MA. This indian restaurant features all the classic indian dishes you love but with a vegetarian twist!For drinks we got the mango lassi which is always so rich/refreshing in my opinion 8/10.For appetizers we got the soya chaap 7/10, the mango mint paneer 7/10, the chipotle paneer tikka 7/10, the crispy mushroom 8/10, the Gobi Manchurian 8/10, and the Potli Samosa 8/10.If you don't know what soya chaap is it is a popular street food in India and is made of soy beans and flour. I loved trying this for the first time! It was also nice to see the paneers in different types of sauces- I rather enjoyed the chipotle flavored one! Gobi Manchurian is essentially spicy fried cauliflower-a must get in my opinion. The crispy mushroom didn't even taste like a mushroom at all! Have no fear non mushroom fans-this was great! Finally, the potli veggie samosa had peas, potatoes and cheese. A classic indian appetizer to have before starting the main course.For the main course we got malai kofta (which is like tikka masalas cousin in my opinion) and is made of a creamy and spiced tomato based curry with kofta (spiced balls) 9/10. This was definitely the star dish of the evening and would come back here just for this curry! The other curry we got was the paneer tikka masala which was just a vegetarian version of chicken tikka masala. We also got a side of the vegetable jalfrezi which had broccoli, peppers and onions 7/10. Finally, you can't have indian food without a basket of assorted naan 8/10. They were not cheap on the garlic thank goodness this naan was excellent.Every Monday this spot does Dosa Night and you get a drink and a dosa for only $15! Its a pretty good deal! So if you are vegetarian or craving indian cuisine like I do sometimes head on over there.Food: 8/10 Ambiance: 6/10 Affordability: 8/10

I didn't realize Peopino's was vegetarian until we arrived and I saw the menu. So I was slightly disappointed as I was hoping for a chicken dish and I don't care for potato, and many of the dishes have potato. We had paneer tikka masala (medium) which comes with rice, garlic naan and a mysore masala dosa. The paneer was excellent, and the naan was good but small and not as doughy as I am used to. The dosa came with dal and sauces and was almost all potato which I didn't expect. Our waiter was nice and efficient and the food came fast. It was about 70% full at 8 pm on a Saturday and had outside seating on Moody Street too. It was $50 including tip. I would return.

I could write pages about how great this restaurant is... but I'll synopsize my experience there. My partner and I are Indian food nuts. We've been to India 7 or 8 times. We've been to every Indian restaurant in Cambridge and Somerville. I cook almost only Indian food. I'm partial to South Indian cuisine, eg Tamil Nadu and Udupi. I had lunch with a friend here and opted for the buffet, even though buffets tend to be dried out or a bit old. BUT this buffet was stunning. The made-to-order masala dosa was just like I had in Tanjore, the gobi dish was the tastiest cauliflower I've ever had. The other dishes were amazing, and their paneer dishes were awesome. The naan was super fresh. Every dish was a winner!The service was friendly, the ambience was very nice. One of the nice things about dining in Waltham is that parking is easy and free.

I'll keep it simple. If you're going to offer your services via UberEats, follow the directions. Not asking for anything exotic - I checked the box to include silverware, I added a note to include silverware. I am in a hotel and guess what I don't have readily available? If you can't be trusted with something so simple, I can't endorse your eatery.

We are Dosa lovers. We go restaurant to restaurant in India looking for who has the best. In Waltham Ma, is a Dosa pilgrimage that we recommend. We had the Mysore Dosa and the Bhaji Dosa. Over the top! So excellent and colorful.

If you want metal pieces in your food or dishes as hard as rocks to break your teeth or put you in an ER, this is the place to visit! Beware, owner takes very minimal responsibility for unsafe quality of food and offers complementary dishes instead of offering refund and is barely apologetic! Never eating from here even though we are local

Alright, ambience looks good but the smells inside not so much.The entree portion was laughable, extremely tiny for the tandoori menu ( sizzlers) the platter could have been larger.For the price, the quantity is too less, taste not that great, will not recommend.
