"A year ago, this would have been a 5-star review, but a couple of things have changed recently. This place had been my favorite Indian restaurant in the area and it was a big step above the rest. So it 's sad that I feel like I might have to stop going here. First, I am very intolerant to spicy food due to a digestive disorder. So I always ask for my dishes to be not just mild--but extra mild or as mild as [they] can make it. And for the first few years, they always did a great job, giving me a deliciously creamy and mild dish. But the last two times I was there, despite really emphasizing the need for my food to be mild, it 's been noticeably spicier to the point of causing stomach upset....

Best Indian food in Boston! The restaurant is very neat and clean. Foods are very delicious. Recommend goat curry. They have a good vibe as everyone is so friendly. Highly recommend lunch buffet and weekday price only costs $21. Will come back next time!

We were very disappointed with the food quality and quantity. The price was super high compared to the portion they served.Service was poor, our server was in a rush and had no time for us. We ordered virgin mango mojito and were given mango lassi.The mixed grill platter portion was too small, the chicken had a fishy smell and lamb was over tenderized artificially. Chicken Hyderabadi was full of garam masala , not appealing at all. Rice quality was low using cheap basmati. Pav bhaji brushetta was not what we imagined to be. It was just normal pav bhaji.Ambience was bad because there was some arguments in the kitchen which we could hear and was pretty disturbing. I would not recommend this pl...

My husband and I came to the weekend brunch buffet which is a relatively new offering starting August 2023. I have never really been to the restaurant before as the first year I lived in Lexington I actually thought this was a ceramics studio! We were impressed by the wide range of curries both vegetarian and fish/chicken options. Everything was well seasoned with spices and good quality. A few months ago I had had not so good Indian brunch at a diff establishment and this was far superior in taste and value. Service was attentive and we would definitely return.Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options. We particularly liked the butternut squash curry and okra curry.Kid-friendliness: While...
