My friend and I ordered lunch from here. We drove there, placed our order, and waited inside the restaurant until it was done which was about 15 minutes. The menu is huge, which is good in that there is something for everyone, but it is also very overwhelming. We were hoping they would have a physical menu in store, but they handed us an iPad to look through the menu. Luckily it is divided by meat and non-meat dishes, rice, bread, etc., which makes it a little easier to browse. We ordered one of the goat curries, samosas, and garlic naan. The goat came in a 6 inch plastic container and though it looked small, it brings a lot of food - enough for 2. The goat was very tender, with lots of flavor, and not too spicy (you can request your preferred spice level). The samosa order came with 3 and they were good - crispy on the owtside and packed with soft filling on the inside. The naan was also good. I believe it was around $35-$40 for the order, which after considering portion size and quality, we found it to be fair. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is very spacious with lots of booths.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are lots of Indian historical figures drawn on the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is also plenty of parking since it is in a plaza. The staff was kind and helpful. read more

A friend and I got takeout from 1947 Norwood recently and I'm big into art and aesthetic, so of course I appreciated the takeout bag and container (pictured). Delivery was smooth and on-time, despite the rainy weather. A warm, and slightly spicy Gobi 65 warmed my chilly self on this rainy day. Definitely pinning this place for when I'm back in the area-- read more

This is still a great option for Indian food in this neck of the woods. The one star off is because it is relatively expensive and there are a few other places deeper in the suburbs that are more flavorful and affordable. Our go to favorites over the years is the 1947 combo which has 2 idlies and 1 vada. The idlies are always soft and fluffy while the vada is crispy and hot. The masala Dosa is tasty and filling. Order all of this accompanied by the chicken lollipop which has a mouth watering sauce (I will be honest, it is not authentic at least the version you get in Mumbai but delicious nevertheless) and can be spiccccy. Service is usually quick and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance can be a hit or a miss - there are some evenings where they have live music and it can be very loud to the point of being unbearable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Large lot out front for parking and an Indian grocery store in the same strip mall. read more

Ok, let me start by saying this spot can be rather confusing. This location is off the highway in between Norwood and Walpole, located inside a strip mall. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is very nice and trendy and has traditional Indian vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You are greeted and seated, but heres the issue, the waiters are very stern and seem upset the entire time. They hand you some tablets to check out the menu and add the order. We ordered the Chicken Tiki Marsala, jasmine rice, samosas and shrimp. The Chicken had good flavor but was extremely dry, and I didn't like the shrimp dish. If you are in the area, maybe try another restaurant. read more

The restaurant is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is visually appealing and the menu is extensive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is very helpful explaining the different menu items to us. Ordered the Cut Mirchi appetizer which came with a nice batter and dipping sauce with slight heat. The dosa was huge and came with a variety of sauces. It was cooked with a nice crisp and my favorite sauces were the darker ones. The Chicken Sambar Rice is really good, it is pretty spicy. I loved the flavor but couldn't eat too much of it due to my spice tolerance. I would come back to try other dishes. read more

Updating to say 1947 has my favorite dosa and chutneys in MA/RI. The gunpowder dosa is my go-to. Second behind 1947 is Pepper's in Northborough. Most of the dosa I've had in Boston has been disappointing, including the new dosa chains in Seaport / Harvard. East Providence had a great place but it shut down a couple years ago sadly. read more

Went here was lunch on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised. No reservations and we were seated promptly. We ordered cut mirchi and chili paneer for appetizers and the cut mirchi was divine. The presentation was very appealing and appetizing. Chilli paneer lacked a lot of gravy but was good. For our mains we ordered coriander dosa, gonghura chicken, vegetable biryani. Coriander dosa was very well liked, it came with a variety of chutneys . Chicken with rice was mighty delicious. The spice quotient was perfect for me. We also ordered rumali roti which paired well with the chicken. And the biryani was delicious. For dessert, the gajjar halwa was very received and it was great way to wrap the meal. I wish there were some gluten free and dairy free options for dessert. Those are always hard to find on the menu. read more

Obsessed with the dosas! I've never had one before, but it was so crispy and yummy. Their lentil soup has soooo much flavor. Will totally be back here. My only thing is that things were spicy and they don't warn you on the menu- so if you don't have a tolerance for heat, be careful here. read more

In a sleepy, unassuming strip mall, there's a delicious, crispy ginormous Paper Masala dosas! The dosas were 3 feet long and the idly was fluffy and the size of my palm! The Masala was on point and not too spicy, just wish there was more of it! The peanut sauce had a nice spicy kick and paired well with the dosa. The Biryani (lamb, chicken, and veggie), were quite spicy! [[HIGHLIGHT]]My sister rented the private back room for a large party for 50 people with about 8 tables and a bar in the back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Mango Lassi helped to diluate the spiceness and both the red and white wine were good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a band or live singer in the main dining room and the unsurprisingly, the restaurant was packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely come back for some Dosa! read more

This place offers an extensive menu with lots of options to try. I was excited to try their chicken paneer. Their majority of their dishes are served with rice, but you have to order the naan separately. The dish was good, but I wish it included more chicken for the price. The staff were friendly and willing to answer any questions that I had about the menu. read more

Tried their dosa. I myself like it along with their peanut chutney and Sambar. I am a fan of their Sambar now :-) Brings back memories of home. read more

The Chicken Tkka Marsala had a delicious sauce with just enough of a bite, but the chicken was very dry and over cooked. The Mango Lassi was great. The chicken fried rice had a bit more bite than I had hoped for, but was really good. Next time may need to ask for.less spice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While I did a take out order, I did take in the decor. I really liked the way the restaurant was outfitted and from.what I saw it looked like a great use of their space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The reason for the lower score was the interaction when I picked up my order. No hello, how can I help you, not even a thank you. It wasn't like the place was busy. Having been to India, Singapore and other parts of SE Asia I understand that I may not get the warm and fuzzies, but I had at least thought I would get a THANK YOU. I hope the staff reads this and takes this constructive critique to heart. read more

We picked out 1947 Norwood for a date night and were not disappointed. Huge menu with large gluten free and vegan selections. Everything is super flavorful and fresh. Portions are big and filling. The only downside was that we kind of got lost in the shuffle when all the DoorDash/pickup orders came in and had to flag down a server a few times for water refills and napkins. read more

Great food and vibes, 1947 Norwood offers a very extensive menu for all. LOCATION: Plenty of parking and space to accommodate large groups! The deco inside was very nice as well. FOOD: We ordered the mango lassi which was decent but not the best we had. My partner ordered the Lamb Chettinadu and liked it! I ordered the Mysore Masala Dosa and absolutely loved it - it had so much flavor and the crepe was perfect. We also ordered the Babai Idly and popcorn chicken to share. The babai idly was wonderful but popcorn chicken can be skipped. SERVICE: Staff was nice but helpful when we had questions! read more

We arrived at 630 on a Friday - party of 5. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank goodness we got in early. It was mobbed by 8 when we left and it was hard to get our bill[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The food was delicious. I got a spring dosa which was the lentil crepe with vegetables and cheese inside. I expected paneer but it looked like shredded orange cheddar. The samosas were great. Note they only have vegetarian samosas. My husband got shrimp biryani and it took the longest to arrive. It's plentiful and very spicy. Unfortunately it was also very salty. Others with us were very happy with their orders. read more

Popped in for lunch with my wife. Awesome food and great staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great decorations and music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

A little hidden gem right off route 1 with an extensive menu and welcoming staff. There are plenty of tables inside, but it looks like they do a robust to go business as well. Portions are generous and the flavor in every sauce, meat and dish were delicious! Plus, we had plenty of leftover to take home for a second meal. My only call out is that the water cups are fairly small and you have to ask for refills a few times (especially if you order something spicier like the vindaloo) read more

About 10 weeks ago, I did an online order on UberEats and when I saw within 2 minutes that the promo code was not honored by the restaurant, I called to have the issue fixed or order cancelled. Not only did the man on the phone, say they will not honor the code, but they charged me though they honestly could not have started prepping my order already. I happened to be in the Norwood area today so I went to speak to the manager and Mr. Ayub (not sure if he is the manager but said he is) said the restaurant was in the right to charge me without me getting any food delivery eventhough I called within minutes BECAUSE they do NOT honor any promo codes. They claim they are the third party and do not have to honor the promo codes. BEWARE!! In my 30 years of customer service experience, there has been a rare number of occassions where I have been treated rudely twice by the same store. Usually, the management would be intelligent enough to offer me a gift card or free items from their menu as compensation for the items that I ended up paying for and never received. Order at your own risk!! read more

this is my second time to 1947 norwood and the visits were about a year apart and still so amazing south indian food!!! get the table long dosa. can i just say what a lovely concept for sharing dosa together (or eating one along couch cough) and not charging $50 for no good reason. they basically just make it wider and thinner. it's such an art. we got the mutton appetizer and chili chicken to eat with it. my friend ordered the szechwan noodles to go and said she loved it. and to top off our long drive from rhode island to mass for dosas, we also got the nutella dosa at the end for dessert. it's on the kids menu but they let us get it for a sweet treat hehe. [[HIGHLIGHT]]such homey cozy vibes and staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]you could dress up to come for dinner all fancy or casual lunch, they did a wonderful job with the decor that way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Food was good. Samosas were good. Had some spice. Lamb vindaloo was not bad. Lamb was a little dry.

Love the food here. Not greasy and traditional to the area of India my family is from!

Great indian food and the best in the Medfield/Walpole/Sharon region! Me and my family have been searching for a great indian place in the Medfield surroundings for a while and 1947 got the trophy! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a good ambiance (albeit a little noisy),[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] great service and, more important, great food. The menu is extensive, with plenty of vegetarian and gluten free choices, and the seasoning and selection as authentic as it gets. We had the 70 cm dosa , samosas, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken and a paneer dish that was very hot and different from all curries we had before. We'll definitely go back for more. read more

Was just in here tonight and I'm at a loss for words. After waiting for the server to take our order for about 15 minutes, we placed our order for apps, food, and drinks. After waiting patiently for about 25 minutes, our server who took our order came to our table and asked us if we had ordered yet! We said we did, with you! Then another man came by and said he would check on our order. After they realized they threw our order slip out, he came back and asked us to repeat our order! We have a 2 year old and she has a bedtime. The man apologized and said the waitress was new, but I'm more concerned that we told her a whole order and she didn't even remember taking it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant was ~40% full, not super busy, and we saw the staff standing around a lot so I can only assume that we were the only group that had this issue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had to leave at this point, since we already wasted nearly 40 minutes to get served tap water. Maybe the food is good, who knows. But this was a horrible experience after a long day. read more

Best Indian Food in the area!!! It's my go to spot and I'm lucky to live in Norwood so it's close.

Food Meh! Service indifferent! Prices.... $7 naan. Like seriously are you kidding me?

I ordered 3 entrees and the rice given wasn't even enough for 3 people. Probably one of the worsts Indian food I've had in a long time. Chicken was overcooked. Also, service was horrible. I would never come back again. read more

What a lovely place!! Service was very attentive, not too busy, and the food was SO FLAVORFUL!!! Even when ordered spicy, the taste was phenomenal!!! Can't recommend the lamb saag or the popcorn chicken enough!!! Would visit again in a heartbeat!! read more

Amazing samosas and recommendations for not to spicy food options. The food was with the wait. Will definitely return.

Decently good Indian food! The restaurant seemed to be quite busy for friday night dinner. We had ordered takeout with Kerala Chicken Fry as appetizer and Gongura Chicken Curry as entree. The kerala chicken fry is Chicken marinated with a variety of spices and then deep fried. It tasted good, but was a bit too dry and slightly over fried for my liking. The Gongura chicken curry is Boneless Chicken curry cooked with a paste made of Tangy "Gongura Leaves" and other spices and herbs in South Indian style. The medium spicy curry was good along with rumali roti which seemed to made partially of whole wheat (contrary to the usual), but was a welcome delight since one usually doesn't see rumali roti on the menu. The garlic naan bread was bit of a disappointment though as it was undercooked. read more

Good food, but the service has really slipped in the last year or so. Everything's very rushed, and food often comes out in the wrong order (entrees before starters, etc.) and the check before you're finished eating.

New Indian restaurant in the neighborhood and we went there to try. The mutton roast biryani was really awesome and the big dosa kids ordered, They loved it. Some food might be too spicy for most of the people, so check with the server, the level of spice read more

Solid 4.5 Rating. Here's my feedback: 1st & foremost I absolutely LOVE Indian food. I've tried some of the best Indian restaurants from SF to Miami To NYC. This place was pretty darn good. Flavor Town!! My biggest gripe with Indian food is it's usually overly spiced without enough flavor. Now this place doesn't ask how you like your spice level you get it how they make and I'm totally ok with that. What got me was even though their food was most definitely spicy it had FLAVOR!! Not a single bland dish. The ambiance is cool. We walked into what felt like an Indian Karaoke lounge with a gentleman at the front getting down on some keys with heavy auto-tune for his vocals. It was very entertaining and brought life to the place. I read other people's reviews talking about how terrible service was and/or the attitude of the servers. Our server was just fine. I don't expect servers to kiss ass. I can appreciate a person just being who they are and delivering food as it's ready. We asked for extra water or anything additional we needed but not once did I feel like the servers were rude or inattentive, just busy! We ordered: Veg. Samosas Veggie Pakoras Shrimp Biryani Chicken Korma Fish chettinadu Childrens chicken (non spicy) Garlic naan Anything we didn't eat that night we took home and ate all of the left overs. Def. My new go to Indian Spot in the greater Boston Area. read more
