I have tried many Indian restaurant in Boston. This is the only restaurant in Boston which serves authentic Indian taste. I had an opportunity to talk to the owner of the restaurant and he stated that the raw spices used in the food is prepared by the owner himself. Also the mango lassi was so thick and delicious. My favorite dish over here was Saag paneer, Chicken Tikka masala and Samosa. The ambience is relaxing with vintage Indian music playing in background. We always get super friendly service. read more

What I liked: Good location at the Kendall T-stop. Fast service. Reasonable prices for wine by the bottle. Good amount of lamb in the lamb saag. What could be improved: Wine selection. I suspect they are limited by screw cap wines, but there may be better quality Cabernet Sauvignon on the market. read more

Back in Boston so had to come back here again. Tonight the food was delicious and perfect! I asked for extra chilies in my chili naan and they delivered! The achar was great as always! I said this before but the free onion chutney is so amazing. The Lamb Rogan Josh was very spicy and mouth watering ! Loved it all! read more

They sold me a runny liquid mango lassi. Mango lassi's are supposed to be thick, whole milk yogurt consistency. This was runny like mango water. Disappointing. read more

Fantastic as always. Impeccable service (I saw several examples of them above and beyond in their kindness today, rushing out after one patron who left a phone, patiently explaining the menu to another, etc), lovely, comfortable ambiance, and, as always, incredible food. We've settled on generally getting the keema mattar (creamy spiced ground lamb), saag paneer (decadent spinach and tasty paneer cheese), and, occasionally or if there are others with us, the pashwari naan (sweet coconut & honey) or garlic naan. The sweet coconut soup and chai are also lovely accompaniments as well. It always comes with several other little accompaniments (e.g., papadum) that make it feel quite special. read more

There was a live cockroach in my delivery bag. The first item I pulled out had one on it -- I didn't even look through the rest of the bag to see if there were more. Had to throw the entire thing out. Beyond livid. read more

The Quick: Fantastic delivery experience. Flavorful and spicy vegetable Masala (vegan option!) was great. Generous portion. We'll packaged and warm The Details: fun traveling, it's difficult to find good restaurants open late. This was an absolute treat! The portion was extremely generous. The food was well packaged and very spicy. I was surprised at how many vegetarian and made vegan options there were. I would definitely like to go to this restaurant with a group to try more things. The Damage: very reasonable. Thank you! read more

Took me a while to check this restaurant out, and I finally did! What a pleasant experience. They have several different specials for lunch and dinner, and what's nice is rice is included! My friend and I ended up getting the chicken tikka masala and shrimp curry, both mild. When the food came out, I was a little surprised by how little the portion looked inside the small bowls. I was fooled though! Ended up feeling very full and even had leftovers to take home! The garlic naan was an okay addition. Very doughy. It's not cheap here, so be prepared. I noticed a lot of delivery and takeout orders compared to people who were dining in. Service was quick! read more

Very good Indian food. You will enjoy your meal. Order it spicy or mild. Up to you. I'm a not too spicy type of guy but I crave flavor. This place has flavor! Service was spot on. Friendly. Attentive. But busy. Take out and in house. Negative. Small bathroom (true). read more

The papadams (chip-like things they serve as appetizers) were below average. Service was good and food itself was pretty good (we got medium spicy for all and it was all well-spiced); no one was really a big fan of the goat biryani tho. read more

Very tasty butter chicken. I ordered this on a work trip and usually have Indian curries everywhere I go and I've got to say that this was one of the better ones. I ordered off of Uber eats and the presentation was still very well done. The rice was still nice and hot and the curry was a flavour bomb in your mouth. Definitely worth a try read more

Service was fast and pleasant. The vibe was nice, a mix between fancy and more hole in the wall. We had the seafood Marsala special, and the chicken mughlai which were delicious. We also had the mix platter which was great value and luckily the things I didn't like from the platter my partner did like and vice versa, so it was full of different good flavors. read more

This is, hands down, the BEST Indian restaurant in Boston, Cambridge, the United States!!!! Everything is made fresh. The owner has been here 42 years! And he is still here!! Everything is homemade. The owner even grinds all of the spices! No matter where you live, it's more than worth a trip here!!!!! read more

Great Indian food in Kenmore! Can't believe I've never been here before or even ordered take out from this spot. My family came here after a Sox game and enjoyed a variety of delicious Indian dishes. The saag, bindi, and daal were all so good. We were served quickly and the restaurant was very accommodating when two more people joined our party halfway through. The restaurant is a decent size and very clean. Would absolutely come back when craving Indian in this area again! read more

We ordered the chicken tikka masala and butter chicken with a side of samosas. It tasted good at the time because we were super hungry but the quality is okay for the price. It was very heavy meal for dinner There was a short wait to get the food and the service was fast. We ordered for takeout because it was about 20 mintiest to closing. Ambiance was casual read more

There must have been a change of management. Food is totally different now in a terrible way. Was in the middle of eating some takeout when I saw the review that included cockroaches for this restaurant so I'm not even going to feel bad about just throwing out this subpar food. read more

Had dinner twice here. The waiters are talking to themselves most times in hindi but sometimes it makes you feel like they are talking about you. Nostalgic Bollywood music is playing all the time, love it! Masala chai is top notch and that too with free refills! Got samosa chat - complex delicious flavors, good portion size, decent price point. Bhel puri - the quantity is way less than I expected. Taste is okay. I would go for samosa chat over bhel. Ordered kadai paneer both times. It comes with rice so its a full meal in itself. Filling and delicious and does taste like ready to eat tomato paste gravy which I appreciate. I will visit everytime i go back to Boston! read more

Great experience and great food ! I have been coming here for years, and the quality is consistent!!

We have been here many times and every time the employees are friendly, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is welcoming. We drive an hour to come to this place over any other that is closer to our house. Well worth it!! read more

Love the food Love the price Love the spices Great location just next to Kenmore T station read more

Expansive menu with excellent, attentive service. The pashwari naan was fresh, hot, and light with touch of sweetness that balanced out the heat from the lamb vindaloo which was moderately spicy with tender lamb. Chicken korma was mild but flavorful and excellent as well. The desserts finished a great meal with bright bursting with mango flavor ice cream and light, airy tiramisu. Would love to come back and explore more of the menu next time we are in Boston. Excellent value read more

I was visiting Fenway Park and came across India Quality Restaurant while walking nearby. Tried their Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Naan--absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The curry was creamy and perfectly spiced, and the naan was fresh and soft. Great spot to grab a comforting meal after a game! read more

Very mediocre. The naan was very doughy, the butter chicken was not very flavorful, the channa masala was very creamy and very orange(?), and the bhatura was far too thick and doughy. The mixed platter was good, though! None of the food tasted bad, but it was all rather disappointing because I kept comparing it to the flavors and quality of the food that I have tried at other Indian restaurants. Can't say I would visit this restaurant again. read more

The food here is delicious. I went there on friday night . We have to wait 5 to 10 minutes before seating. We have chicken tikka masala and lamb coconut. They are perfect with garlic naan . It was great . Its our first time . But we will definitely come back read more

I'm torn--I loved the food, but I was very disappointed by the service. This was my second visit and I was pleasantly surprised to see a 10% off my order deal pop up when I checked in. Sadly, the restaurant refused to honor it, stating that they only gave that deal to those who place online orders. This was not noted anywhere in the text of the deal offer. So, stop by for the food but don't hold out hopes for any deal you may be anticipating. read more

Super solid Indian food in Boston!! We sometimes got food catered from here where I worked, and it was always super solid. Their chicken tikka masala is heavenly, especially with their naan. I will specifically crave it sometimes. Knocking off one star because I stopped in their restaurant a while back to dine in person, and I got freaked out because there was a spider on the wall next to the table. My server was very kind and came by to get rid of it for me, but it kind of ruined my experience of dining there in person. read more

We were suggested this place and now we know why! The food was delicious and we got to meet the owner who told us all about his food and the quality he expects. He uses fresh grown tomatoes for his tikka masala sauce. He also said he HAND GRINDS all of the spices they use and you can tell by the flavors in the dish. Amazing experience and we will definitely come back the next time we are in the area. If you want to mix it up before your next Sox game and have some really great food, this spot will not disappoint. read more

What we ordered: Butter chicken (mild) , chicken curry (medium spicy) chicken + mushroom dish (mild) both regular and garlic naan Everything was good, nothing was SHOW STOPPING but honestly I was satisfied, however there was very little chicken in any of the dishes. read more

I've been coming to India Quality for months now as my go-to Indian takeout, but this was the first time I've actually dined-in. We arrived on a busy Friday night and were seated immediately. There's nothing too special about the interior and atmosphere of the restaurant, everyone's coming here for the food. Our waiter took our order and then brought out two papdum to try dipping in their various chutneys - it was good but nothing special. For an appetizer, we were served a mixed plate of chicken, samosas, and other various fried foods. Although the chicken was a bit dry and disappointing, I did love the other dishes, and I would say it's still worth the price. For our main dishes, we split some lamb sheekh kebab masala, chicken mahkni, and garlic naan. Although the cups where the curry were served look pretty small, in reality they're pretty deep and hold a lot of food. The lamb curry was spectacular - the lamb was super soft and paired well with the creamy, tomatoey masala. The chicken curry was also very delicious, different than my usual go-tos but definitely something I'd order again. The garlic naan was SO much better than their typical takeout naan, it was warm, soft, and slightly doughy which is exactly how I like it. By the end of the meal, we left feeling completely stuffed with several containers of leftovers. I always love trying something new here and I'll be back soon! read more

Went out for dinner with friends and tried the paneer tikka, lamb rogan josh, and dal makhani. Every dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The naan was soft and buttery perfect for scooping up all the rich gravies. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the lively yet comfortable atmosphere made us want to stay longer. read more

Previous review still stands. We ordered through DoorDash again. Food was fine. In response to the owner's comment to my initial review--I disagree with you. Tipping is not required by law. If you read the entirety of my review, you can see that I have tipped very well and have tipped zero as well. Do NOT cherry-pick the one instance of "zero" tipping as justification or lack thereof. There's a whole discussion on this elsewhere you can find. Of course, if you're interested, I am more than happy to open discussions for others to comment. read more

Yelp browsed this place and it had 4 stars so tried it out. Also, I was craving for Biryani....so! Vegetable biryani- they asked for spice level, we said medium spicy, and I must say, it was perfect! The biryani was delicious! Vegetables- well cooked and the side raita was good too! Vegetable pakora- it was tasty but seemed a bit undercooked, coz I could taste the batter in a few pakoras. But vegetables had a good flavor. We also got the salted lassi- it is quite similar to chhaas (buttermilk) just a very thick/creamy version of it! The staff there is very decent and respectful! So +1 for that! read more

Got DoorDash because this place was one of the places that claimed faster delivery. It was a good portion size for the price ($15.95), but I was disappointed with the chicken tikka masala (which includes rice and a side of onion chutney). The sauce had good flavor, and strange complaint here, but there was a lot of chicken breast chunks mixed in. Which usually would be a good thing, more bang for the buck, but the chicken was dry and hard to eat/chew, and since there was so much chicken, there wasn't much sauce for the rice. I ended up eating a little less than half the rice, all the sauce, and left most of the chicken behind. In a pinch it worked, but wouldn't be my go to for Indian food. read more

The Scarlet Vetter says...I was in Boston for a night, so I looked for a great Indian Restaurant and this place was recommended. I was greeted at the door right away, and seated. My drink order was taken and I was provided with some Poppadam and great sauces and delicious chutney. The wine menu is extremely reasonable in price, with quite decent selections. In short order, my dinner selection was taken and I was on my way! First was the vegetable samosas suggested by the server-- this is in the appetizer section and comes 3 to an order. They were fabulous! Slightly spicy...warm, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. For my main, I ordered Chili Naan and Chicken Curry. Colorful and fragrant, when the Naan and main entree arrived, I was transported by just the aroma. The Chicken Curry I had ordered spicy hot, and it was just right. Not "burn your mouth, cannot taste anything ever again" unpleasant hot, but a "lingering on your tongue just long enough" hot. The rice was colorful (new experience) and provided a nice damper to the heat of the Curry. I cannot say enough good things about the Chili Naan, and that was a bit of a risk... never having ordered that type of Naan before...it was warm, soft and crispy and just stuffed with green chiles. When I could not eat another bite, my server nicely packed up the remainer and even offered to pack up extra chutney which was my favorite. I wish I lived in Boston (even though cities are just not my thing) just to be able to order from here regularly!! read more

Delicious food! Would order again! My first time trying Indian food and I loved it! read more

I came in with a bit of card situation where I needed my card information to be entered manually. I called the restaurant ahead of time to make sure this was possible for them to do, and they said "yes". I understand that because it was my dad's card, this required some security measures. So, the man who rang me up asked that I call my father so he can confirm it's his card, but was talking to me in a tone that one would speak to a suspicious person in. When I called, he put the call on speaker phone. Which suddenly turned an already uncomfortable situation to an extremely humiliating one considering the volume was turned all the way up and there were other customers listening to this. It's shocking how little he cared about doing this in a respectful way and not making a scene, for my sake. I was already anxious going in, but very hungry after class, only to have left feeling even worse. I've been to this restaurant multiple times, I know the faces of the wait staff, and I was comped for my meal one time because there was a mouse running around. Speaking to me--a girl who evidently came in after a night class to eat--like I was a criminal was completely uncalled for. Really ruined my night. read more

Delicious restaurant overall! The service was incredibly fast, albeit we did go right at opening around 5pm so it was easy to get a table right away. The vegetarian platter was amazing, loved everything I was able to sample. The butter chicken had a very generous portion of meat, and the goat dish my partner got was the Bakra Bahar which was unique, fresh and delicious. We also ordered a side of garlic naan (which unfortunately was incredibly salty, but that's the only negative of the meal!). Would definitely recommend! read more

It is a hidden gem! Great service and amazing food. Recommend the poori and nan breads and the curry dishes with goat and lamb. Definitely be mindful of your spice level, we had the medium spicy level and it was just right! read more
