What our guests are saying

WOW Sunday buffet was wild at this place. We arrived around 12, though it wasn’t until around 12:20 that everything was ready. The food was really tasty and the service was unreal. I am not extremely familiar with Indian food, and one of the folks working here helped show my friends and me how different things are eaten. I am thoroughly filled with delicious food!! Very pleased!

This is our favorite traditional Indian restaurant in Boston. The food is generous and very creative with dishes we’ve never encountered before. Plus all the servers are super friendly. We always come back here!
