    Went today for the first time with a friend. The person who took our order was very nice and explained what the dishes were and how to properly eat them. The location is small and has a few tables, but overall is a nice spot. The place is kept clean. The food was spectacular and didn't take long to come out. We got the Chana masala, Masala Chai, Dosa, Panipuri, and mango lassi.

    Amazing new find as Somerville gets uber with its restaurants, apartments, and residents. Four indoor dining tables and a few in the outdoor settings. Tried their rolls and these are the best we ever had! Mixed vegetables roll was just fantastic! Mango Lassi was also fresh and true classic. Too bad couldn't try all their menu items - but I feel it's only a matter of time. The place is super convenient to grab the food while you commute to work or pick up food when you return home. They have redone the inside and outside and we were taken aback as we were used to seeing the old lawyer office with no sign of life.

    Love at first bite! I've gone here twice and plan to return. With a limited lunch break of 30 minutes, I can pop in here quickly with convenient parking right outside. The food is outstanding. Vijay is also a very welcoming owner! It looks like a takeaway spot, but I heard the owner say he plans to add tables. That said, the place has some ways to go. There are no menus, only a QR code, which is a deal breaker for some people. The online menu doesn't have descriptions of the food. And even if you dine in, you are eating on plastic. *Note about paper menus: I prefer them because I see all the food at a glance, and see things I may not have thought of. Scrolling on the phone gets tedious when you to have to click and go back several times as you browse. I offered my coworker the QR code in case she wanted to try the place, and she didn't even want to try! Like I said, a deal breaker.

    Happy to see one of our old favorites from Edison 'Talk Of The Town' re-open with a new name but featuring the same menu. More importantly, the food is just as good as before. Almost all of the old hits are on the new menu. What we tried - Khichdi - was a comforting, home style Khichdi made of green moong and rice. This is very popular in homes in India but not usually seen on restaurant menus outside of India so is a must try! Dahi Puri -globe like puffy puris filled with boiled moong, boiled potatoes, spicy, sweet and sour chutneys and yoghurt and topped with crunchy thin sev Paneer Methi Tikki - a crunchy patty with the soft paneer filling punctuated by a mild funky taste of the fenugreek (methi) Paneer Bhurji - mild perfectly spiced shredded paneer gravy served with raw onions, lime and a choice of pav or chapatis (we chose the pavs)

    Right next to Somerville train station this tiny restaurant has a few tables and a nice clean restroom. It is a little chilly inside and very bright lights so I'd order your food to go. We got takeout and called ahead and the food was great! Especially loved the palak paneer and the chole bhature. The dahi puri was good but a bit too much yogurt for us. Overall, it was super tasty and man who took our order helped recommend the chole bhature for us. Would love to try some more items here!

    Don't let this hole in the wall deceive you-- it may be small but the chef is outdoing himself here .visiting from Atlanta and we had idly, onion uttampam and Bhel puri -- flavors were ON POINT. Make this a snack stop on your journey.

    Amazing restaurant, small but mighty!! This vegetarian Indian eatery is delicious and a hidden gem in Somerville. The food is delicious and the service is great too. While it is small with four tables inside, this is nothing to be wary of. The manager is very friendly and accommodating and I was so glad my friend chose this spot to try some Indian food! We got the pav bhaji special and it was so delicious. Too bad it was so good I couldn't even wait to photograph it! So flavorful, good spice, and served nice and hot. I don't usually order pav bhaji when I'm out but I am so glad I did!! My friends also really enjoyed the pav bhaji and the tomato flavors! That's always a win. The samosas were flavorful as well as the masala fries. My friends also enjoyed their roti. Personally the paneer makhani was not my favorite, I would give much more emphasis and praise to their more street food centric dishes. Like their inventive paneer patties -- so yummy! Paired with the iconic green chutney, the Pattie's were an absolute hit. Of course I had to have a Thumbs Up soda with all this delicious food, and it was the perfect meal!! Definitely appreciate the service and good quality here, I will 100% be back!!

    Pav Bhaji

    My new most favorite place ever!!!! If you know how Mumbai's vada pav's are, these don't miss! They taste exactly the same and you will see me here all the time ordering just their vada pav. I've NEVER tasted any type of vada pav in Jersey ever like this. So now that I'm done raving about their vada pav, I'll dwell on their other items as well. I've got their pav bahji, chole bhature, and bhel. All really good but bhel was a bit off. I've only ordered takeout but have seen it pretty busy in the store. Owner is also nice and noticed when I've ordered back to back!

We had provided a pre selected menu beforehand so that we wouldn't have to worry about taking orders for the group (~15 of us). The restaurant was a great spot to host my dad's birthday- they didn't rush us at all and created an environment in which everyone was able to talk to each other easily. The food itself- - paneer tikka: delicious! A favorite, although there was fewer paneer pieces and more onion pieces. It was very yummy but I wish it was more balanced. Even a better balance between the onion, pepper, and broccoli would have been better. -samosa chat: great! No notes on this one. Was very yummy. - sag paneer: wasn't my favorite, there wasn't anything wrong with it, I just liked other dishes more - dum aloo: this was great! Very tasty. However, we had to keep asking the staff to bring more out instead of them keeping an eye on what dishes needed refilling. Given that we had provided a headcount beforehand of how many people were coming, it was frustrating that not everyone got to try this dish. There was lots of gravy, but not enough aloo. - Methi malai matar: was very tasty! Overall the food was very good and I'd recommend trying as many dishes of theirs as possible. The service itself was frustrating since we had to keep an eye on what needed refilling and inform the staff, instead of them bringing more food out (we were the only group in the restaurant). But that being said, other restaurants are not nearly as accommodating as masala Art. We had initially asked Chand Palace if they would be able to accommodate us and they had told us that we would only get the table for a set amount of time and we weren't allowed to bring decorations or anything like that. We will be back for sure!

The food is delicious, and whoa is it spicy, so do not be shy about asking them for the American spicy not Indian spicy or you're going to suffer, but it isn't spicy without flavor to back it up. By that I mean while you'll be crying actual tears from the spice, you'll also taste an incredible palette of flavors and non-atomic spices that are masterfully blended into all the usual classic dishes, and some unique ideas as well. Good mango lassi on the menu, and it is CLEARLY there to mitigate some of this spice, so be sure you get yourself one. The Saag Paneer is a perfect 10 in my book. The tandoori is to die for, the naan is great, it's all great, give this place a chance!

I was looking for a good baguette in my neighborhood for a while. But as simple as a baguette may seem, making a tasty one is an art. I was running some errands when I suddenly felt pekish. I saw on Yelp that there was an "authentic French bakery" nearby and decided, "Why not?" Originally, I was thinking of getting a quiche, but as I got into the store, I decided to switch to an avocado egg sandwich. I am sure quiche is good, but I was impressed by the sandwich. It came on the plate with very fresh salad greens. Greens there fresh and sauce tangy, just what one needs to cut through the richness of avocado and egg. I think I had an entire Avacado cut on it. The avocado itself was just right. But the star of the show, for me, was a baguette! I inhaled the entire dish and asked if they sell baguettes on their own, which they do. The bakery associate told me they just ran out, but they are baking new ones now. If I wait 10-15 minutes, I will get a freshly baked one. I could not believe my lack.
