After ordering takeout today, I can say that it's decent but nothing out of the ordinary. I am also not sure how kosher other Chinese takeout is, so if this makes Chinese takeout accessible to kosher communities that other place do not, that would be a huge plus also. I ordered the Peking Ravioli and a Wonton Soup and have some mixed feedback. First, the Wonton Soup was not my favorite. I'd probably give it a 3/5 because the wontons were very doughy and not filled with much meat at all. The soup was salty but somehow also had a taste that reminded me of playdough, so it was a bit unpleasant. I really love wontons so I was a bit sad at the result of this dish. Then, the Peking Ravioli was great. The dough was thick and not too greasy even though it was pan fried, and the meat was delicious and had a lot of juice oozing out in the filling. A lot of places make their dumplings really thing nowadays, and I really prefer the doughier fried dumplings from Kosher Wok. This dish would get a 5/5. Now, I didn't try any of the main courses, but judging from the photos, they look pretty solid. I'd definitely try this place again, but for this round the subpar wonton soup brings the overall score to a 4/5

And the first photo I took was at the end, which all I got was a big bite of pita rolled up. I take decently big bites too, so it was surprising I didn't bite into anything else.

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.

If it wasn't seasoned to your taste, there's also a section near the cashier where you can top off your pizza with crushed red peppers, oregano, and more cheese. I couldn't have asked for a better "snack" before dinner.
