Went for a weekend buffet. Choices were abundant. Fried fish was juicy. Rest of the dishes tasted good. Best part were the fresh naans. We reached there just 40 min before closing and the staff were accommodating. read more

Our review disappeared but thought it was important to share that we had a DISGUSTING experience several years ago with this restaurant. We ordered takeout and upon opening our food, noticed a BLOODY BANDAID IN OUR RICE. We called the restaurant and they didn't seem at all bothered and just offered to replace the dish. This place should be shut down by the health department. read more

I came here for their lunch buffet as I LOVE an Indian buffet. We arrived around 1230 on a Saturday and the restaurant was busy with families and smaller groups. The buffet had lots of options. We started with garlic naan, which was delicious. I went for the tandoori chicken, a paneer dish, the tikka masala, and a selection of bahji, pakora and samosa. We finished things off with the rice pudding and gulab jamun. We will defo be back and I'll take pictures next time. read more

My husband and I often travel on Rte 2, between MA and VT, and one day we were craving Indian food. We found Holi Indian Restaurant on Yelp. We usually stick to the usual dishes like chicken or lamb curry, but on our first visit, we were lucky to have Amarjit as our waiter; he was incredibly polite, friendly, and encouraged us to try something new -- and we're so glad we did! Thanks to his recommendations, we've discovered some new favorites, including the Lamb Rogan Josh and Goat Curry. Both dishes are rich in flavor, tender meat without being overly salty, and they pair nicely with naan bread or rice and red wine. The restaurant itself is clean and cozy with a calm, relaxed atmosphere, and the entire staff is always friendly and respectful. Don't hesitate to ask for suggestions -- especially if Amarjit is your server. He truly elevates our dining experience and is definitely worth the drive! read more

Tasty Indian food, though a bit of a distance from home. On a whim I tried out Holi and was not disappointed. The bonus was that there is an ice cream stand next door, so after you're done enjoying spicy Indian food, you can go next door for some soothing ice cream! I was thrilled that they offer Salty Lassi, one of my favorites which you can't find in all Indian shops, usually you're stuck with the Mango version. For our entrees we had the Paneer Dosa, and Lamb version of Sali Boti and Kadai. Everything, including the service was great. I appreciated the table that we were able to sit at, it was not noisy/crowded at all! My only complaint was that we were unable to finish all of our food and the Dosa didn't travel well, I really wish that we were able to finish the Dosa at the restaurant, though that isn't their fault! I look forward to returning! read more

Have been wanting to try this place for years and after finally trying...it was just okay. We ordered a few different staples-- Chicken Tikka Marsala, Saag Paneer, Cheese Naan, Vegetable Samosas (not pictured). Everything was served lukewarm but it didn't take long to come out so I was confused. Everything was pretty good except for the Saag Paneer. I typically get Saag Paneer everywhere I go but this one didn't do it for me. It tasted different than most and I didn't enjoy it which was disappointing as this is my favorite dish usually. I couldn't finish it. Overall the experience was just ok, not bad, not great. I wouldn't rush to come back. read more

The buffet was outstanding with a great variety of vegetarian and meat choices. It was hard to know where to start first. We wanted to fill up on the delicious appetizers but also try all the entrees, while saving room for the naan and slowly enjoying the chai at the end. We all left very happy and, I'm sure, we'll return. The servers were attentive and it was a nice dining area. Highly recommend! read more

I am a regular visitor to Holi for a few Years .Mostly I have been there for the lunch buffet. They do have a variety of choices! I love the meat curry and enjoy the appetizers. The people there are also Very friendly. However, I went there last week and was dissatisfied with the samosas and the tandoori chicken . They were not fresh at all! Please make sure that next time I go, I don't get disappointed. Old food doesn't go well with our old bellies ! Thanks read more

Because we did not have a lot of time, we decided to go with lunch buffet at this place. It was not bad at all except the selection was kind limited for buffet. My favor is Bone-In Goat Curry, very delicious and tasty!!! The restaurant is quite specious and clean. I would definitely come back for the dinner sometime. read more

Holi Indian restaurant is a great place to indulge. We had our anniversary party on last Sunday. The food we ordered is consistently described as delicious and authentic, with carefully blended spices. All our guests were very happy with their mouthwatering, delicious dishes and also their friendly behaviors. We did dine in and went to couple of parties inside the restaurant. Their services were excellent in all occasions and the ambiance was excellent. The staffs and the person in charge, Amarjit were very polite and efficient, with a willingness to answer questions and accommodate specific requests. read more

Tried a lunch buffet, the food was not kinda bland for my taste, however the owner was kind and mentioned that he'd be happy to spice it up the next time I visit. The service was nice. read more

This is one of our favorite Indian restaurants in the Massachusetts and New Hampshire area. The world had Covid and the restaurant has changed since my last review five years ago. That is the reason for this update. This is a medium size restaurant that features pictures of the Indian Holi Festival on the walls. The festival is very colorful due to the brightly colored chalk dust that is thrown into the air. The result is an explosion of color. After looking at all the colorful pictures, you will not leave this restaurant without a smile on your face. For lunch on this trip, we started with mango lassis and an order of Peshwari Naan. The lassis were very good with a lot of mango taste. The Naan likewise was very good and very hot out of the oven. For the main course, I ordered the Hydrabadi Mirch Aur Baigan Ka Salan, consisting of roasted red peppers and fried eggplant in a coconut curry sauce. My wife ordered the Lamb Sali Boti, and we shared both dishes. Each dish was prepared perfectly and tasted really good. The lamb was so tender, we didn't need a knife to cut it. The Basmati rice was prepared using cumin seeds, giving it a very unusual, yet very good flavor. We wanted to try their deserts, but did not have room. We will continue to come back to this restaurant. read more

Staying the night in the area and looking for a bite I was happy to fall on my favorite cuisine - Indian! It was a Saturday night and mostly dead which seemed weird but it was also kinda nice as it was fairly quiet except for a party happening in the upstairs room. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of tables for different party sizes. Of course for appetizers it was Samosas and Curried cauliflower. Samosas were great and the cauliflower wasn't the best seasoned as I've had but they had a nice crispiness and presentation. I got the Chicken Tikka Masala and boy it hit the spot. Hot and very creamy, one of the better ones I've had. Had some vegetable curry too which wasn't bad. What makes Holi special though is that it has a bar. Yeah, It looks like they cater as well as host party events so it's easy to have access to that when there are a lot of people. I think it's awesome though. Most Indian places I frequent are BYOB, but it's awesome to have a bar right there with the staff ready to make a drink or perhaps you'd like one of a few Indian beers on the drink menu. I had a mojito which was made well. Holi was a pleasant stop for the night's dinner. If you're in the area looking for Indian food, Holi gets a thumbs up from me. read more

I think the food was good but pretty average compared to what I've had around the country. Way better than many options to the west and down 495. I'd eat here again if someone wanted Indian and I was in the area. read more

4.5 stars. Got the lunch buffet and was amazing, there was a variety of food with fresh vegetables, panipuri, curries, soup and rice, samosas, fritters, and dessert. We chose to get garlic naan which was a little bit thin, but still good. Also had mango lassi which was great! read more

Holi Indian Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Bedford, Massachusetts

Good Indian food. Came for dinner pickup. Ordered online. I thought the online menu needed pictures as I tend to find it difficult to order Indian food off of name and general description. There were a lot of parking space. Meal comes with 3 kinds of chutneys and some sort of flat bread. Fish pakora was alright. I thought there was an overly fishy taste but nothing unique. Overall this doesn't stand out much in this restaurant. 5/10 Lamb Samosas were alright. Skin was too hard and inside was a bit too dry but we used the chutney and it was delicious. Any of the chutney works. 8/10 Bone-In Goat Curry was delicious with the basmati rice. Curry was the right thickness and very densely flavorful. Not a lot of goat meat on the bones though. Other than that, it was good for what it is. 8.5/10 Butter chicken was also fantastic. The butter sauce was less thick than the curry but when poured over rice, it was just right. 9/10 Lamb boti kababs comes with tikka masala sauce and naan bread. Very flavorful and it has a busy taste of spices and sauces. Naan bread was nicely made and soaks up the sauces nicely. 9/10 Overall, a good experience. I cannot decide yet if this will be our go-to spot in the area vs Treasury in Burlington but they put up a good fight. A bit pricy for the quantity you get but it is what it is. read more

$21 lunch buffet, Friday-Sunday, 12:30pm-2:30pm. Indian lunch buffet is hard to come by these days, and Holi does it very well. It hasn't been too crowded the two times we went. You get bottomless naan (plain or garlic), and they bring it out to you fresh. I thought their tandoori chicken was kind of average. Not too flavorful or charred enough. The curries are all great, though! I also love their paneer dishes and desserts. The staff are good about keeping the buffet staffed, and super responsive. They rotate out selections so you get to try some new dishes each time you visit! read more

Great service and kind staff, very spacious and good seating. Food was good but nothing extraordinary. Would def come back for sure!

Flavorless and watery. I don't understand the positive reviews. There wasn't one thing we liked in a $165 order. There's no point to dissecting it because EVERYTHING was bad. Very disappointed. read more

I was there with my family for Sunday buffet yesterday and we were very pleased. The array of vegetarian options exceeded expectations, plus food quality was superb. Service provided by employees was great as well. We've only eaten weekday buffets since first discovering Holi a few years ago, the weekend spread is huge and worth the price increase over weekday pricing. Glad Covid-19 is not the treat it was when many restaurants abandoned the buffet concept for health reasons. read more

This is our Wednesday night takeout spot. Kids love the chicken tikka masala. I've also eaten in a few times and service was good. Granted we were the only people there but no complaints. The ambiance is pretty standard for an Indian restaurant. A few pictures, nothing fancy. read more

I was very pleased with my food. First, I'm always a fan of variety so I was happy that I could try to items in one dish. The chicken tikka masala was very creamy which I love. The chicken was a bit tough but nothing extreme. The lamb curry was also good and had a slightly sweet taste. The lamb was tender and easy to chew. Although it seems like there wasn't much meat, I think it was a good amount, they were just well hidden in the curry/sauce or "lost in the sauce." The rice was cooked Al dente which is perfect. It brought a vegetable samosa which had the right amount of saltiness but I wish it were a bit spicier. Overall it was yummy! read more

Holi Indian Restaurant - Holi Non vegetarian boxed lunch Lamb burry and chicken tikka masala - Indian Near Me - Bedford, Massachusetts

Ordered takeaway from here for the first time. Hubby and I ordered the vegetable samosas, peshwari naan, chicken tikka, and aloo palak. Total came out around $45. What's Hot - Quality. Absolutely delish! Their samosas were wonderfully spiced and flavored. There was even a slightly spicy kick to it. The aloo palak had good chunks of potatoes and a fair amount of potatoes, too. Hubby's chicken tikka was tender and flavorful. The peshwari naan had that sweet kick to it, which is what it's supposed to have. All the food turned out as described and ordered. This is probably one of the best Indian restaurants we've been to. - Menu variety. Something for everyone. Vegans, vegetarians, meats, seafood, (nonalcoholic) drinks, and desserts. Excellent variety and I saw some dishes that I don't normally see at other Indian restaurants, which I appreciate. - Prices. They also included free papadams with dipping sauces in the takeaway order, which we appreciated and enjoyed! Very good value for money, especially for flavor and portions. - Portions. Each samosa was about the size of my fist, which was good- not too big and not too small. Definitely good size portions and enough to make you full. After 1 samosa, 1 naan, and my aloo palak with basmati rice, I was stuffed! I also didn't finish my aloo palak. There was enough rice and curry left over, which I will thoroughly enjoy. The naan bread is a pretty big size and there are 2-3 pieces of naan in the order. The chicken tikka came in it's own juices with some onions and curry, which hubby enjoyed and finished. He was full and satisfied, which says a great deal. - Service. Timely and no fuss. Hubby and I ordered via Grub Hub. Our food was made timely and ready without delay. When we arrived to pick up our food, there were 2 orders with the same name. When hubby asked the front desk which one was his, they asked him whether it had been paid or not. When my husband said it had, they knew exactly which order was our's. As mentioned previously, we specifically added in our order to make our food spicy, which we got. They're on top of their game! - Packaging. All their packaging were recyclable plastics, with a few items (papadam and naan) wrapped in aluminum. During this time of the pandemic, when hubby and I are ordering takeaway 99% of the time, we appreciate restaurants that use recyclable materials and sustainable packaging. What's Not - Spice level. My husband has a very high spice tolerance. We specifically noted in our order to make our food spicy. It was definitely adequately spicy for me. I could still taste the food, but the spice level was there. Towards the end of the meal, I teared up a bit, which isn't easy. Haha... Hubby definitely tasted the spiciness, although it wasn't spicy enough for him. Compared to another Indian restaurant in Lexington, my husband prefers the spice level at this place, which says something. Final Answer Great Indian restaurant in the area. Definitely plan on returning. read more

Not the best Indian restaurant. Buffet was over $17 and offered limited vegetarian/vegan options. They charged me for coke refills, which is not typical. A lot of its positive reviews are fake. read more

I love Holi! As a huge fan of Indian cuisine, it's wonderful to have a restaurant of such high quality in the area. The food is consistently fresh and delicious; my personal favorites include the navratan korma, the vegetable biryani, the vegetable pakora and the paneer tikka masala.The owners and staff are attentive and personable and have created a comfortable, beautiful space that is a pleasure to visit. I give Holi my highest recommendation. read more

Great buffet. Unexpected. On w whim we decided on Indian food and set out to find where to go upon local recommendations Reasonably priced. Lots of options. Gave you a huge order of your own naan of your choice with your buffet. We got there at 1200. Probably should have been about 1pm as not everything was sufficiently heated on the buffet. I like HOT steaming food and this was a title warmer than warm. Not a deal breaker. It does get busy. Just go !!!! read more

A pleasant find in Bedford Since moving to Maine our Indian food options are limited. Visiting our daughter in Bedford we tried take out from this restaurant. We were very pleased. Pretty typical Indian fare but quite well done. Vegetarian samosas and pakoras were fresh and hot. Typical accompanying sauces were quite good. Alu gobi,chicken tika masala and chicken korma were excellent. Not too expensive and very generous with an extra order of basmati rice. Would definitely recommend checking them out. read more

I got chicken tikka masala and Hydrabadi Mirch Aur Baigan Ka Salan along with onion naan. I asked chicken to be very spicy. It was spicy but not very spicy, maybe bc I'm indian I expected to be more spicy. It was good though. It's a nice location next to ice cream spot, eat dinner then get ice cream. I'll go back. read more

Holy is a couple towns away from us, but we tried takeout after our local Indian restaurant closed. Holi was worth the drive! Chicken tikka was delicious, as were the samosas. We'll be going back. Also: food was ready on time. read more

Unfortunately, this is really really mediocre Indian food. This was my first take-out order with them, and it will definitely be the last. The sauces were thin and runny, the actual meat portion of the dishes was scant, anything that was supposed to be spicy simply wasn't. Their homemade bread was way too thick and in fact, they put the wrong bread in the order. I ordered a chapati and received a naan. Simply too many other Indian restaurants to go back, and "try again" read more

Best dosa I have had in quite a bit. Crispy and tasty with fresh fillings and excellent Sambar. The pakoras were also fresh with a crispy crust and moist tasty center. The Aloo Baigan was very good served with abundant rice. We will be back often! read more

Holi is our go-to takeout in Bedford! we love the chicken tikka (of course, we're basic!), bread basket, keema muter, chana masala, aloo gobhi, mutter paneer, and samosas! everything is always very delicious and the portions are very generous. i highly recommend holi! our only complaint is that it's so good that it's easy to eat too much! read more

Holi Indian Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Bedford, Massachusetts

After reading reviews by two Indians, I knew I wanted to try the lunch buffet. And I was not disappointed. The buffet included my favorite items - samosas, masala tea, and gulab jamin. The flavoring was good, and as another reviewer commented, the tandoori chicken is not dyed to pink color. The tandoori chicken though, could have a bit more fire flavor. Another dish I enjoyed was the paneer. Here the cheese is in triangular shape. So maybe there are more home-made items than other restaurants. I ate 2 fully plates of this delicious buffet. I am adding this to my 2 other favorite Indian buffets - Tanjore in Cambridge, and Raagini in Andover, MA. read more
