"as the people will testify to my work place, I usually eat Indian food wherever I am, and I am very picky about eating. I was last week in sunny cambridge and made my first call in the tanjore indian restaurant, which was an absolute catastrophe. the idlis were dry and crispy. the masala dosa was limp and tasteless. my second visit was the shanti restaurant on 7 broad canal way where the eating was perfect. they have a decent buffet. but the outstanding highlight of my visit was the desi dhaba'. I ordered the sweet soup, tandoori roti, aloo gobi, aloo nut and rice over my 3 visits. the service was fast. the chefs, fortunately, agreed to wish to make eating with as fewer oil and choke as possible (as home coke food). the accompanying chutneys were fresh and tasty. absolutely authentic, healthy and delicious (it does not always happen together). head and shoulder over all others. it is not a very nice place, but neat, clean and spacious. I would recommend this place to everyone in a heartbeat."
