It was a great blend of sweet and savory. It was tasty and fresh! I also really enjoyed the Chicken Plata. Plata is a layered, flaky griddled flatbread similar to Indian paratha or roti.

Musician who served well known artist of history of American music instructed restaurant to serve me hot tea as well. After he was gone restaurant owner Vietnamese man brought me just smallest container with very little brown rice and his wife (?) brought me so little amount of colder than lukewarm bad tasting tea. I can not eat just brown rice. This is Grasshopper, mainly runs by two. And time to time part timers. Let's replace food court with great healthy restaurants options. They particularly use Kosher ingredients but combine with very non organic cheap ingredients. Stated by food expert. Owner lied to me that restaurant gives free meal for Hong Kong Supermarket workers whenever workers need food, but I confirmed Super Market Management says nothing is true. They don't even give left over food to no one. I don't know why owner has to lie to me. Also owner said I will get free meal if I bring friends and also mentioned if I promote them on FB and other platforms, all of my friends supporters get free meal, which is illegal for at least Yelp Community. These offerings never accepted from side. Buffet foods are not fresh. They started cook earlier in the week and some are just suggy and cold old. Then food sit there all day all evening until 8:30pm and owner once gave me super old cold food instead of trash it. Owner said I could take home. Since I was low on cash and had to eat old fried foods made me sick for a few days. I know I should not get free food to write review here but I think I should have report here. I take this matter very serious and I want you to consider about further actions against this restaurant. Another note from monthly Buffet, 4/18/26 is not happening as they skipped to May. Previous buffet table had crushed peanuts without signed name of what it is. I am afraid of some gets allergic reactions to peanuts without knowing what they eat. And lastly buffet table has no one is serving from restaurant side, when I saw buffet buyers without line digging food, every customer is doing own thing and restaurant doesn't supervise health concerns are very against the law in Massachusetts, probably against all law in this planet.

I checked out this place back when it first opened as an Indian restaurant--honestly, the food and service were pretty unremarkable then. But something's definitely changed (new owner? menu pivot?), and it's for the better. Now, it's serving up some seriously creative vegetarian pizzas with an Indian twist. I can personally vouch for the Paneer Tikka Masala Pizza--super flavorful, not your typical slice. The service is friendly, and overall it's become an above-average takeout option in Brookline. Worth checking out, especially if you're looking for something different. read more

I've only been here twice and both times it was unsatisfactory. The second time was not just…read moreunsatisfactory but actually very bad. The first time, I submitted my order on the kiosk. While I was waiting for my food, one of the cooks (Latino gentleman I think, didn't get his name) called me over from across the room and asked me if I wanted greens in my bowl. I couldn't understand if he meant in addition to the quinoa that I ordered or instead of the quinoa so I just said ok. I was surprised later to find that my bowl did not have the quinoa that I ordered. Why would he ask if I want greens instead of just reading my order? I called to report the issue and dismissed it as a miscommunication. The second time, I submitted my order online. It was about a $45 order (two bowls). While waiting for my food, I asked one of the girls (Latino girl, kind of big with curly hair I think) if my order was ready. She said no and asked me if I wanted chicken in my bowl. I said that all of the information was already in the order that I submitted online and paid for. By the time I got home, I noticed the protein in one of the bowls was missing: teriyaki seitan. I went all the way back to the restaurant and asked to speak with the manager. She seemed to already know that the food was missing and asked, "chicken"? And she said that I could not speak to the manager. She offered me a free dessert but I declined. Again, I asked her to read my order instead of confirming with me what I wanted in my order. She said ok and handed me a container of food. On my way to the car, I checked the container and it was buffalo chicken, not seitan. I told her that it was seitan missing, not chicken, and she apologized. She handed me the seitan and I went home. When I got home to eat my bowl, I noticed not only was the seitan missing but the chicken was missing. So both bowls were missing protein. Fortunately, I still had the chicken she incorrectly handed me the first time. To recap, I paid $45 for two bowls. Both were missing the proteins (the most expensive and substantial part of the meal). I went back and she failed to fix my order and refused to put me in contact with the manager. Overall, there seems to be a major communication gap and maybe an English comprehension gap in the staff where they are unable to understand what's being ordered, causing major inconvenience and incorrectly making what is priced as a premium meal.

I couldn't have asked for a better "snack" before dinner.

The Honey Bacon Bianca was probably the most interesting of the three and definitely stood out. The salty, smoky bacon with the sweetness from the honey was a great combination, especially on a white pizza.
