Every dish we ordered had amazing spice and authenticity without being overly heavy. The service was also outstanding. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. The new owners have done a fantastic job creating a warm atmosphere while keeping the quality of the food top-notch. If you haven't been in a while, it's definitely worth giving this place another try. Easily the best Indian restaurant in the area now. Highly recommend!

The Goat Biryani was incredibly flavorful and served with a nice yogurt-based sauce, though we did wish it had a bit more meat. And the Peshwari Naan was easily my favorite part of the meal! It arrived in four quarters and had the perfect, subtle sweetness from the honey, raisins, and coconut. To finish, the Kulfi was served diced into pieces, which made it easy to share. It was the perfect "not-too-sweet" end to the night with a lovely nuttiness.

Second, the service was great! They made sure we were never low on water or naan (which was dangerous because I was eating way too much of it). Now, the food. There were so many options and the set up was great. They had these little stands with hooks for the cover of the dishes to be attached to while grabbing your meal. There was also chai, a little salad bar and some sweets. My favorites were the samosas and the chicken tikka. I wish there were some options with a spicy kick but I appreciated that the food accommodated most's spice tolerance level.

The restaurant offers a beautiful ambiance and you're warmly greeted by their wonderful team as you walk in. The menu boasts unique speciality dishes that you won't find in most places. The owner, Manju, curated a blend of flavors for me to try that paired perfectly together. This truly elevated my experience. I enjoyed every dish here. I had a difficult two days, but being here at Ssaanjh was healing. I embraced my time here and look forward to coming back with family, friends, or even myself. Thank you to the lovely team here, keep on rocking!

Saanjh presents itself as a fine dining Indian restaurant -- white tablecloths, elegant plating,…read moreand a chic, modern atmosphere -- and in that sense, they definitely deliver. The space is clean, stylish, and thoughtfully decorated, blending a chic Indian vibe with subtle Italian-inspired décor. It's a lovely setting, especially for date night or a more upscale dinner. That said, the food itself was... fine, but not standout. We spent about $60 on one appetizer, one shared entrée, and two pieces of naan, which feels a bit steep for what we got. I also left hungry. Highlights: The dahi puri was the star of the meal -- super refreshing, flavorful, and a perfect bite between richer dishes. The naan was well-seasoned, crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and genuinely delicious. The butter chicken had a nice kick of spice but was otherwise surprisingly bland and lacked depth of flavor. If you've had a lot of Indian food (especially in the Cambridge area), this may fall a bit short. There are several nearby spots that offer more memorable flavors. If you're staying in or near Boston proper, Shanti in Dorchester and Sher-a-Punjab in Quincy are both stronger options. That said, Saanjh is very convenient for its location, which gives it an edge. Service: Service was quick, efficient, and genuinely warm. We had the pleasure of speaking with Saj (?) who was an absolute highlight of the experience. He was friendly, engaging, and went above and beyond -- even staying about 15 minutes past his break just to chat with us. He clearly cares about the guest experience and deserves serious recognition (and probably a raise!). Overall: Come here for the ambiance, service, and convenience. If exceptional Indian food is your top priority, there are better options nearby. Still, a pleasant experience overall, especially thanks to the great service.

The chicken that was there was pretty dry, and I had to gulp down large amounts of water to wash it down. This seems like a takeout spot because we were served in styrofoam plates and bowls. Nothing against takeout spots, but the ambience just didn't really add much to the overall experience. Servers were pleasant and service was decent. Unfortunately not enough to make up for bad the food was though. Worst indian food I've had in the Boston area yet. Would not be coming back unless significant changes are made.

All the food was so good, and the owner was very friendly in sharing information about the dishes. Both the samosas and fritters were nicely cooked and crispy.

Both the curry and the rice were hearty portions. The chicken pieces were lean white meat, cleanly cut, and tender. The bell peppers and onions were well coated in the curry sauce while still maintaining their crunch and texture. Overall, a very solid meal, especially for sharing several dishes.

Tonight, I added Momo Masala to that list. I was also fortunate to have friends who live nearby, and when I mentioned to them I was going (hopefully to invite them), they said it was one of their regular places for take-out. But they also informed me that they did not have a liquor license. But that recently changed!! They now offer beer, wine, cocktails, and whiskey pours - none of these are huge amounts, but there are certainly enough options for any of these. Our group of 4 did sample several cocktails. They aren't super fancy (though some drinks do have garnishes or salty/spiced rims), but everything is well crafted. Momos first, if course. They offer several varieties, but if you prefer yours steamed, read the menu carefully, as not all varieties are available steamed. We got vegetable and chicken momos, the chicken ones in a broth. Their medium level of spiciness provided a nice but not overwhelming kick. Our entrees continued the high quality. Their chicken tikka masala has a very dark and rich sauce, and the chicken chunks were tender. The lamb was equally good. The naan here (we got garlic) is very crisp, just the way I like it. This is a popular take-out spot, but there are enough tables to accommodate people who dine in conveniently, with a relaxing ambiance. This is another great add to the wide variety of dining options in Jamaica Plain.

I've been wanting to come to this place for a long time, and today my dad and I went went here for…read morelunch. It's a big, clean, open environment, but there were no guests on the inside when walking in. We came in around 12:30 so there should've been at least some people there - which usually is a telling sign. My dad ordered chicken over rice, and I ordered lamb in a wrap. The wrap wasn't a wrap as it wasn't folded in on the sides, but rather left as a roll up. Rice wasn't bad, but it was just more on the plain side. Things just tasted plain and not that flavorful. I don't wanna sauce to do that, I would much rather have the food presented itself as flavorful. The meat wasn't all that great texture, wise or flavor wise. Also, the bread that the rollup was for broke apart, and the taste was slightly subpar. I could've marked it as a 3 Star place. But in reality. I know I wouldn't be coming back here again. They did offer pizza which looked kinda unappetizing when seeing it. Between trying to incorporate Indian, Mediterranean, Pizza, ans Desserts, Boulangerie, and Fusion by inserting Halal into burritos - it's too much. Too much fusion, too American. Either be the dominant force of having it as a Indian American restaurant or go the dessert & pastry route way.

It's just not worth it. Nothing about the food stood out or makes me want to go back. I guess the…read moreonly redeeming quality is that they're open late and pretty cheap for the portion size, so if you're really craving indian/mediterranean food in a pinch, you can always go here. Otherwise, the service was incredibly slow and the restaurant had an oddly empty atmosphere with its wide amount of space. As for the food, it lacked authentic flavors of the cuisine, and felt bland/not cohesive. My favorite part of the meal were the fries and the veggie burger, but not any of their main offerings. I would skip it if I were you. There's way better Indian food in other parts of Boston.
