Good location, Really nice vegetarian options
Foods were great. Since I don't like spicy foods so I ordered mild dishes. They're creamy and rich taste with vegetables.
Food slow to be served, despite restaurant empty (many take-out orders), not well prepared.
It was quiet. A bit cold, but the waitress raised the heat for us.
Excellent lamb dish, others all very good, and much more generous portions than other Indian restaurants we’ve eaten in. Nice waitress.
Between the yummy food and the speedy service, you can't go wrong.

They do exceptional Indian food in a beautiful setting and the service is excellent. Outstanding experience
Very good service, food is fresh and tasty. Small parking lot next to the restaurant and free on street parking.
The food was wonderful, the service great, and they are very accommodating when it comes to tailoring the spiciness of your order.
The food is absolutely delicious ! Best lamb we have eaten; full of flavor and so tender. All the choices are freshly prepared. Service is excellent.
The best Indian food in Brookline. Even better in their new location across the street.
the food is great, no matter what you order.
I requested lil spicy food but they made it too spicy, also for the soup lacked flavor and was bland complained about same to waiter
Wait staffs are attentive and polite. Food is good.
The soup was great, but hardly anything on the menu to chose from. Used to be great buffets and menu for lunch. It's menu has really deteriorated. Not sure I want to return. Maybe in future to see if changed. They used to have great salads and lunch buffets you could not beat. Now nobody in the place. It looks like the restaurant is closing.
Waitress attentive, food good but ordered a medium burger and it was well done. Only snafu.
Every single dish was delicious. The chef is really talented. Flavors are complex and lively. The service is excellent. Everyone is friendly and wants to be sure you’re happy. This is hands down our favorite Indian restaurant in the area!
the food is good and the server is friendly but it takes forever. One hour lunch is not long enough for this place every time!
Great place I will be back
Best Indian food in Brookline.
Purposely purchased this voucher because we reviewed the menu and saw it listed a cuban sandwich that we really enjoy and so bought the certificate and traveled 30 miles to treat ourselves. Upon arrival we were informed that the ingredients for the sandwich wasn't available and then insisted that this menu item was only a special that day. We were not happy at all.
Nice atmosphere and very good service. Not a large variety of food and a bit pricey. Parking expensive.
Good food, fair service, ambience is not that good
Service and food were great, but I do not like having to eat in the bar area.
Exceptional service Delicious food
We were seated immediately at a nice table. The service was fast and efficient.
The lamb is sooooo soft
Great food, Great people, Great service
food and service are great!
Food is always good there and the service is good but not great.
Great food. Pleasant service. A good choice for Indian food.
Server was friendly, informative. Food was beautifully presented. There appeared to be a lot of take out orders
Excellent service, and the food was wonderful.
Food wasn't great, worst dal makhani I've ever tried and all the buffet items were pretty bad too. The servers were very helpful though.
Horrible; dirty...worst experience ever
One of the best in Boston
Portions small, price expensive, service poor, ambiance quite bad.
Great neighborhood location. Consistently good food, service and value.
The food, service and relaxed atmosphere make for a fine dining experience every time!
The staff was exceptionally attentive. It's the best Indian restaraunt in the neighborhood.
Sooooo delicious. And everyone was very welcoming.
Service was very good too.
Cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Wonderfully prepared food at reasonable prices. Friendly, attentive servers.
The food and service were very good. Their Garlic Naan was one of the best I ever had. The restaurant is a bit small, especially their tables, it's not too much room to put the food on the table if you ordered too many dishes. I found the seating was a little uncomfortable but the food were always good and that's why we kept returning to the restaurant.
We've been back quite a few times and the experience and the food is always terrific.
nice cozy atmosphere, friendly service, liked the paneer that you put in mixed veggie dish and when we asked for more mint chutney, you brought out a larger dish full.
The staff and server were excellent. The food was very, very good.
Food freshly prepared and served hot.
Service was quick but a little abrupt in the beginning. After we asked a few questions and chatted, our server opened up and was very helpful.
There were some excellent dishes that we'd never eaten before, despite our being familiar with Indian cuisine.
Food and service are great. Love this place!!!
We loved the gentleman pouring our water.He was so gracious.I forgot my sweater and he ran out with it before we drove off.
Our friends received their appetizer and were able to finish it and have it boxed before our main dishes came out. This was beyond leisurely dining. The food was fine, but faster service would have made the experience even better.
Great food, great service. Will definitely go back.
Great service and delicious food. Could not ask for more.
Great food and service!
fresh food, delicious preparation. really sweet and courteous staff .This spot has become a favorite with the family.
Some of the food was good - the nan and the biryani, but we didn't enjoy the chicken saag (too salty? not sure what was wrong.) But the price was definitely right when using the certificate!
Great food. Great people
