    Aloo Paratha

    Mostly Needs reservation as it's gets full. Service was very friendly. The food was tasty and different too.

    Lamb Shank Nihari

    Saanjh is supposedly one of the better Indian fine dining restaurants in Boston. The ambiance didn't feel upscale and was like an average Indian restaurant. Seating was crammed and there is barely any space for high chairs. In general the food was good but there were some items that we had high expectations for like Jaipuri Laal Maas that didn't turn out to be good. The Laal maas is nothing like I have had in Rajasthan. We enjoyed the appetizers like Malai Tikka and Pesto Paneer tikka (even though there was barely any Pesto in it and it mostly tasted of coriander). I think the Lamb Shank Nihari was really delicious! The drinks were underwhelming - especially the Aampanna Illusion. I also felt the staff in general was not very accommodating because we asked them if one of the mocktails could be cockified and they said they will have to ask the Bartender. How difficult is it to add a liquor to a mocktail?! Another time, one of my friends asked if they could tone down the spice level for her spicy margarita and after some back and forth they sent a replacement which wasn't any better. The desserts, though aesthetically pleasing, left a lot to be desired taste wise.

    Kale and Sakarkandi Chaat

    This was a cozy place in Brookline. It's an Indian fusion place with interesting options. It's mostly Indian food with a modern American twist. We ordered Kale and Sakarkandi Chaat - this was an amazing appetizer. Crispy Crunchy with a delicious sauce. I consider this an elevated version of veggie pakora but less greasy and more flavorful. I highly recommend. Also the presentation is impressive. For Entrees we ordered: Farm Fresh Vegetables Biryani- this was delicious but I felt it lacked the Farm Fresh part. The vegetables were just carrots, corn and peas. It also had rose petals on it which was special and eye catching. Jaipuri Lal Masa - Lamb in red chilly sauce. This was total yum! The lamb was melt in your mouth tender and the sauce is so flavorful. It is a winning dish, but not as spicy as I was expecting. We ordered medium spicy but it was more like mild spicy. Next time we'll ask for hot. Really I think they should just make the dish as intended. We also got dessert. They had one dessert that was a combination of Gulab Jamun and Rasmalai, in a tart. Very creative. Again the presentation was impressive. I liked it better than Gulab Jamun because it wasn't as syrupy. And the fragrant cream was a nice balance. The service was great. All in all we had a great time. Their presentation was excellent they really know how to dress up a dish and make you feel like you're getting something special. I recommend this place.

    Yum what a great addition to Brookline! Ssaanjh is the newest Indian restaurant in the area, located right on Beacon Street. There's lots of street parking and both indoor and outdoor seating for the summer! We ordered a bunch of drinks--their masala chai is lovely and mango lassi was a hit! For apps we LOVED all of the chaats--my favorite was the pani poori which comes in a beautiful tray with individual little cups to pour into your poori. We also tried the samosa chaat which was delicious, it comes with two samosas and lots of chickpeas/sauce. We shared two orders of the garlic naan which was perfectly fresh and garlicky (although each order is a little small--we def needed two orders for the four of us). We had the butter chicken and the paneer pasinda which were both tasty. Overall a really great meal with quite reasonable prices--our total even with drinks and more food than we needed came out to $28/person. Will definitely be back!

    Great addition to the Greater Boston food scene! This general area does not have many Indian restaurants, especially ones that are slightly more upscale with a modern spin on their dishes. The interior is lovely, a great place to catch up with friends or coworkers. Dahi Puri was great! Crunchy, creamy, and refreshing at the same time, loved it! Also can't forget the Kale and Sakarkandi Chaat, which was a great combination of crispy, sweet (sweet potatoes) but also refreshing pop from the pomegranates. Mango lassi was mango lassi with a slight twist to it, unsure if it had some nutmeg or some other spice to it but was not specifically the biggest fan of this added spice to my mango lassi (that I get basically every time I visit an Indian restaurant). Palak paneer itself was a bit bland but still tasted pretty clean and simple as a dish, which I liked (didn't taste greasy). Though, the main reason this review gets 5 stars--is the Ssaanjh Special Butter Chicken entree. Which was honestly AMAZING. Best butter chicken I've had. The chicken was extremely tender (same with the lamb in our other entree too), and the blend of the chicken and butter chicken curry sauce just melts in your mouth. The sauce is super creamy, unlike what I've had before but in a good way. I just wish they gave more rice, but otherwise this dish was extremely memorable and I've had this dish at plenty other restaurants as well. I would go back just for this dish. What we ordered: -Dahi Puri -Kale and Sakarkandi Chaat -Ssaanjh Special Butter Chicken -Palak Paneer -(forget the name of the lamb curry entree) -Garlic Naan -Mango Lassi

    Menu (2/2) as of 11/25/25

    Solid Indian fare! We got the Ssaanjh Special Butter Chicken, Palak Paneer, Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani, and some Garlic Naan. Butter Chicken was tasty and definitely had some smoky notes, though was lukewarm... Biryani and Palak Paneer were both delicious and appropriately portioned. Garlic Naan was really good: texture and flavor on-point. Complementary rice was appreciated. All for an affordable price, will return!

    This was absolutely delicious. Thankful to owner Mandeep for treating my family and I so nicely. He introduced himself to every table and helped everyone with their selections which is service I have not seen before. The meat was fantastic- I am still thinking of the Nihari! Please come here.

    Boston really needs a solid, upscale Indian gastropub, and I was hoping this was the answer. Unfortunately it fell a bit short. I would given 3.5 stars, but rounded that off to a 4 since it's a new restaurant. Cocktails were terrible. Food and service were decent. MVPs of the night were the kale chaat, shrimp curry and the beet root kofta. The chicken curry was disappointing, and the saag corn ricotta lacked flavor.

    We've been wanting to try out Ssaanjh ever since they opened and finally got the chance! It looked like they had reservations for all their tables, but we were able to get seated nonetheless without a reservation. Our server was friendly and personable, he made sure we were well taken care of. I did feel we were a little underdressed as the decor inside seemed more upscale. They have a decently sized menu with a lot of options, as well as a full bar and some yummy cocktails to choose from. We tried a nonalcoholic juice (that I forgot the name of) which was soo delicious and fruity, it was essentially a fizzy tropical drink! First we tried the fire roasted eggplant, sooo delicious and creamy, the perfect dip for our garlic naan! I really enjoyed eating this eggplant dish with everything else, especially rice (which we got complimentary refills of!) We also tried a bone in chicken dish which we hadn't tried before, and the chicken was cooked so thoroughly the meat fell clean off the bone, along with chunks of bone! Visually, I think the dishes looked stunning and were plated well. I enjoyed the experience here, but taking into account the price, I'm not sure if the dishes we ordered were worth it. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to coming back to try their other dishes and the eggplant dish again too!

    Probably one of my favorite Indian restaurants in the area! They offer a modern take on Indian food and drinks, along with having a beautiful space for friends and family to come together and eat. Got to try their lamb kadai, goan shrimp curry, chicken biryani, garlic naan, sesame naan, mango lassi, and the Ssaanjh Dessert Pot. Honestly, everything was delicious. If I had to choose just one to highlight, their lamb kadai is one I would get again and again -- I have ordered it every time I've visited. Their dessert pot also was delicious -- I'm not exactly sure if they use saffron ice cream or something similar, but it definitely adds to the lovely chocolate dessert (and it's also super cute and aesthetic). The first time my husband and I went, they did forget to bring one of the items we ordered and had to ask them to take it off the check, but the second time I went with friends, the service was generally pretty quick and caring -- they did a great job checking in on us and was very kind. :) They do lean more upscale/fine dining side, so they can be a tad pricey, but it's a nice treat to have sometimes! Will definitely be coming back again!

    Pani puri
    Tiana G.

    Delicious Indian food right in Brookline! We got 2 tasty mocktails (1 mojito and 1 mango) that were soooo refreshing! They also do have a full cocktail list as well. We started with the pani puri which as super light and refreshing and I would say this is a must order dish! For mains we got the veggie biryani which was super flavorful, the lamb shank nihari, and some chickpea curry. The garlic naan is also a must and their dessert pot was so cute and looked just like a potted plant!

    Excellent presentation, great taste, dishes are small sized. Mushroom mutter was good and the other dishes I was told were very good. I'll be back to try more.

Nizami Chicken Dum Biryani (1/10): I thought the butter chicken was dry, but this chicken tasted like it came out of a desiccator in the center of the sun. Holy moly this chicken was almost inedible. The rice was pretty bad, lacking in flavor. The sauces were fine, but also unnecessary. They really didn't pair that well with the biryani. Worst butter chicken AND worst biryani I've had in my life. I hit the jackpot today. At least the portion sizes are big. Prices are reasonable (if the food were actually edible). I got this recommendation from the r/Boston subreddit. I've now learned my lesson.

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.
