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 velvet interiors in jewel tones, the well staffed team who were attentive but not overbearing, and the beautiful presentation of each dish - the experience showed the owners had invested whole heartedly in customer experience, unlike some ethnic food places that do the bare minimum. Everything here was clean, elegant, thoughtful. Now, let's talk about the food. The appetizer (beet croquette) was excellent. The usual trap with kebabs, especially vegetarian ones, is that they feel dry. This didn't. We also got paneer pasanda, which was not my favorite. It was deep fried and turned rubbery. I'm more a fan of soft paneer that melts in your mouth. The lachha paratha was good. The item I'm still thinking of is their amazing mango lassi, which is like a drinking version of srikhand! Overall, I found the pricing to be fair based on the quality of the experience ($7 lassi, $13 appetizer, $20 entree, $8 breads).

The interior has a bunch of tables, and sitting out on the patio is also delightful. Over my visits, I've ordered the palak paneer, butter chicken, chicken korma, the crispy cauliflower, and the kale and sakarkandi chaat. The chaat was incredible - I ordered this on the server's recommendation and probably could've eaten many more bowls of it! It has kale that's been battered in a flavorful layer and then deep fried until it's crispy, along with sweet potatoes and the perfect balance of sauces. Really to die for! The crispy cauliflower also hits. It has a spiced batter that coats the cauliflower and makes every bit delicious. The star of the mains may well have been the palak paneer! I feel like it's sometimes hard to find a palak/saag paneer that is flavorful and thick. This was one of the best I've had. It was super creamy, rich in flavor, and had a good ratio of palak to paneer. The special butter chicken has a nice smoky flavor that distinguishes it from other butter chickens. The shahi murgh korma was also fabulous. I've really enjoyed their garlic naan, which is charred well and fluffy. Their dinner service was a bit slow on the Friday evening we went, but we really enjoyed sitting on the patio on a beautiful night so we couldn't complain too much. I think the portions are pretty generous and the prices are fair. It's a great location, looking out on Beacon St. and right near St. Mary's and Fenway. I will definitely be back!!!!

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.

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.

The lamb was pretty dry, and one of their most expensive dishes. A big disappointment. It looks a lot better in the pictures than it actually was. I would definitely not recommend. Maybe just go for a basic curry dish instead. Service was not good. Not friendly either. They weren't at all busy and just non-attentive. I had to ask several times for water refills. The waiter walked by my table several times, clearly saw my empty glass, yet never once offered a refill. And it was a crazy hot day too.

My husband enjoyed the chicken makhani (butter chicken) and chicken tandoori momo. We didn't like the naan as it was a bit dry or tough, but honestly the dishes were so flavorful that it wasn't necessary with the rice! We were provided a wait time of 15 minutes, but it ended up being closer to 35. The place was packed when we went to pick up which is always a good sign!

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.

The food was interesting, the saag was blended to smoother creamy sauce with a hint of mushroom or truffle which was unexpected. The food was generally too spicy hot for mild. We are glad we didn't order spicier. naan was delicious. Salad was huge - enough for four to six people. Food tasted good. Good presentation. Staff could work on clearing plates earlier or using smaller plates. The table was absolutely cluttered unnecessarily. A few things stood out as questionable. Our waiter seemed a little spacy. Order didn't go in on time and then also forgot details. So maybe our food was spicier bc he forgot that we ordered mild. Also, I noticed water dripping from the kitchen ceiling and this kind of took away my appetite. Staff very apologetic for delays in our food order.
