    Eggplant basil paneer curry
    Alyanna T.

    My partner and I got vegetable momos, eggplant basil paneer curry, wild boar mushroom stir-fry chili, and garlic butter naan - TASTE: 5/5 - so flavorful across the board. The vegetable momos were well seasoned, the paneer was satisfying w a slightly spicy tomato-based curry sauce (wish there was more eggplant though), and the wild boar was tasty. Would come back to try more TEXTURE: 4/5 - the steamed momos were tender, and we enjoyed the crunch of the naan; great contrast to soak up the sauces of both entrees PRICE: 4/5 - total came out to $70, higher than we expected SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - came hungry, devoured everything, and left satisfied SERVICE: 4/5 - we walked in at 12:30pm on a Saturday and were seated immediately. Our waiter asked how spicy we'd like our dishes, on a level of 1-10, and our food started coming out 10min later ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - a warm, inviting space inside. So glad we had the opportunity to eat Nepali food! PARKING: 4/5 - parked right on Huron Ave at a free street spot

    This was a great no frills dining spot. We went on a Thursday evening and it was very empty -- but a lot of take out activity. We got the chicken spice meal with medium spice and the veggie momo. Very delicious! Definitely want to try a meat momo next time and would get the chicken dish again. It hit the spot!

    This is my second time dining in at Base Crave, and I was just as excited to return as the first! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service is both friendly and prompt. The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and the spices are perfectly balanced -- every bite is a treat. I had the Tekari Lamb again, and it did not disappoint. Fresh, clean, and absolutely scrumptious. Base Crave, Cambridge Ma, continues to impress!

    Garlic Garlic Butter Naan

    We had a nice meal at this cozy little restaraunt. The naan was delicious and momo unique tasting. The tikka was a little sweeter (tasted less tomato based and somewhat curry liked) than I am used to and seemed to be expensive for the portion $22. Overall we were satisfied and enjoyed the vibes!

    Gundruk Soup and Garden Salad

    Phenomenal Food! It's nice to have restaurants that offer cuisine unlike the norm and Base Crave, a Nepalese establishment, does just that. We were looking for a restaurant that would not be crowded and on the quiet side to celebrate my father's birthday. My brother in law came up with Base Crave and it turned out to be a great idea and a wonderful evening. Even my nephew and niece (ages 10 and 12) would agree - and its sometimes hard to satisfy kids. For appetizers, we ordered a couple of Mo Mo platters, Gundruk Soup, Garden Salad. For mains we ordered the Chicken & Mushroom Curry, Chicken Mushroom Stir Fry, Grilled Basil Shrimp, and the Chicken Tikka Masala along with orders of garlic and plain naan. Everything we ordered was delicious! It's hard to pick a favorite, but I really enjoyed the Grilled Basil Shrimp and the Chicken Tikka Masala (which tasted slightly different than North Indian Chicken Tikka). Overall, a delicious meal.

    The food was so good! We stumbled on it and after having two lattes we really needed this nourishment, which the food certainly provided.

    Came here in a Saturday evening at 6 with a dinner reservation for 4. We had booked it a few hours…read moreearlier, so it may have been unnecessary. That being said, the place was packed after 7 so consider what time you're coming when trying to walk in without a reservation. The entrance is up the stairs and as soon as you walk through the door, you're greeted with a great view of Winthrop Park and the surrounding area. We were promptly seated and the lively wait staff came and took our drink order shortly thereafter. We started with the complimentary papadum and chutneys and our appetizer order of hara bhara kebab which was a nice vegetarian fritter. For our entrees, we got the baingan bhartan, chicken tikka masala (dairy free one), yellow daal tadka, tandoori roti, onion kulcha, and paneera bharura. The breads were all fantastic and I enjoyed the chicken tikka masala (dairy free made with coconut milk) just to see how it was different from a standard chicken tikka masala. For dessert, we got the gajar halwa (which was awesome!) and kulfi. Overall, I'm glad to have finally tried this place and may revisit it again in the future. Worth considering if you're in the area.

Our server was incredibly attentive and would always make sure to follow up and that everything is good. There was a plate that we had that had a stain on it. Our server noticed immediately and swapped out the plate without us having to tell him. He refilled our waters as soon as he saw that our glasses were empty. Compared to the first time that I was here, I think the service remains excellent and unchanged. The quality of the food was amazing. Overall, the dishes were delicious. I enjoy the blend of spices and flavors that you could taste within the food. In terms of food quality, this is easily becoming my favorite Indian restaurant in Boston. I appreciate the restaurant location and internal setup. The restaurant is nestled near Harvard Square on the second floor with a nice view to the local neighborhood around Cambridge. There were many tables by the window so customers could enjoy the ambience. Overall, would recommend. If I find myself returning to Boston, I will definitely make time to stop by again.

Every table seemed to be enjoying themselves but no noise issues as far as we could tell. The pakoras were fresh and the mango fish very tasty. Both chicken dishes were nicely done too.

Indian is one of my favorites and this was a fairly short drive from our hotel in Waltham. We made a reservation but that did not seem to be at all necessary. It was a Monday night and it was not particularly busy. We were seated right away. They featured a very pleasant dining room and we were able to secure a table by the front window. This was a great spot and added to our experience. The service was very good. We were attended to quickly and well cared for throughout our time there. The food came out in a timely manner well presented at the appropriate temperature. My colleague opted for the Creamy Coconut Chicken. I tried a bite of this and was favorably impressed. In addition, he had a Mango Lassi to which he also gave a thumbs-up. I had the Fish Curry, which I ordered at a medium level in terms of spice. It was very tasty as it had just the right amount of kick. He ordered the Garlic Naan to accompany his meal while I had my favorite type of Indian bread (my favorite type of bread period, really) Peshwari Naan. We were both happy with these choices. I also had a glass of cabernet which turned out to be a decent choice. Our final bill that included food, drinks, tax and tip was $86. At $43 per person in this inflationary time, I was happy enough with the value given the quality of the fare and the overall experience. I would be happy to make a return visit.
