Friendly Service at the counter. I ordered mulligatani soup as well as peshawari naan. It was ok, not great. Prices seemed reasonable. Unfortunately, no lunch specials.

Long overdue review, as I've ordered from here close to ten times now, and consistently they've been amazing.Paula Deen says we eat with our eyes first -- and that's probably even more true when we order delivery, in my case, today from Uber Eats. If you receive a well-packaged order where the containers are absolutely overflowing the moment you open them, your restaurant did you right in the portions department -- what you see in the picture attached is AFTER I ate to my heart's content (and believe me, I was ravenous about 20 minutes before that picture was taken).Being Indian I have extremely high standards for Indian food, and most of the places here in Boston are god-awful because Americans generally don't know any better -- so when I order from a place and request extra spicy (and they see a name like mine), they better oblige me or else they're going into the "only when I'm starving/nothing else is open" bin on the UE app. I got what I wanted when I asked Vaisakhi to make my lamb korma and chicken tikka masala extra spicy, so, MASSIVE kudos to them for acknowledging my request.Finally -- give their veggie pakoras a try. These are gifts from heaven, and the imli/mint chatnis they sent complimented them perfectly. Us Indians sure do love sweet/strong masala chai and crispy pakoras on rainy/snowy/cold days (and today we had a rare April snowy day here in Boston), and the ones you see in the picture rival my mothers, though we won't tell her I said that.

If you're looking for a strong, local Indian spot, this is the place to go! This is truly a hidden gem resting right off Comm Ave. We went for dinner on a Sunday and there were plenty of tables. It looks like an unassuming restaurant and looks very casual and the menu is extremely extensive! I was under the impression that they more commonly do takeout as there were so many takeout orders.For food, we ordered Chicken Chili Momos, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Vindaloo, Goat Biryani, lots of Garlic Naan, Tandoori Chicken, and some Mango Lassi. Everything was delicious. I was a little hesitant to get the Momos because of my last experience with them, but these did not disappoint! The filling was full of spices and the skin was the perfect texture. It came with a sweet sauce that balanced well with the hot Momo. Chicken Tikka Masala was the perfect balance of spicy and sweet, and the tomato flavors really came out. The consistency of the sauce was perfect for eating with rice and the naan. The chicken was soft and not too tough and in delectable bite-sized chunks. Lamb Vindaloo was on the spicier side and the spices balanced so well and it was extremely aromatic. You can tell from the texture of the sauce that they used fresh ingredients and the lamb was not too gamey.With biryanis, I'm always worried that they are going to skimp out on the meat but Vaisakhi did not do that! There were a ton of delicious goat pieces in the biryani and I was extremely happy with it. Tandoori Chicken was unfortunately a little disappointing compared to the rest of the dishes. The presentation was beautiful but the actual chicken was a little dry. However, the spices on the chicken were seasoned so well!Garlic Naan was so good that we ordered 3 servings of it! By the way it comes out, you can tell how fresh it is and that it's cooked authentically. It was the perfect thickness and texture and the garlic wasn't overwhelming. The only downside to this meal would be the Mango Lassi. It tasted a little bit too much like yogurt and I think they just poured it from a jug that they bought. Overall, I was extremely happy with my meal here! It definitely ranks in my top 3 Indian restaurants in Boston. Plus, it's super accessible by T! I'll be back!

The place is clean, colorful, and is welcoming. With nice booth seating it allows for that extra comfort to dine out as opposed to a quick dining experience. Lamb was deliciously tender and my dad's chicken korma came out great. Samosas were perfect. The staff were friendly and helped me with the menu. Garlic naan was absolutely fantastic!

I love this place so much, it's probably one of my all time favorite restaurants in Boston. It's right next to my house and has some of the crispiest, best samosas in the area. I come here all the time and it's always perfect.

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 ! :)

Really good experience here. Great ambiance, friendly, fast service, and exceptional food especially for the price. Everything we tried was delicious and a notch up from what I'm accustomed to. Feels like they go out of their way for a high quality experience here which is rare and lovely to see in a restaurant as accessible as this one.
