  This place is amazing!! I ordered the tandoori chicken and it was delicious! It was so tender and not too spicy. I also got the mango lassi which was the perfect mix of yogurt and mango, not too sweet. This is a very well run restaurant and the owners are so sweet. They came over to my table and introduced themselves. You can tell they really care about their customers and the food they serve. This is a must try if you haven’t been!

  Monica’s Mithai is a wonderful spot with great food and a welcoming atmosphere. The lamb kebab and lamb chops were absolutely delicious perfectly cooked, flavorful, and clearly made with high quality ingredients. Everything was beautifully presented, and the service made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic meal in Andover.

  It’s very rare for me to write a review, but this place truly deserves one. Having moved here from New Zealand, we’ve been spoiled with incredible food, and finding Indian food that genuinely satisfies has been a challenge around Cape Ann—until now. From the very first bite, it was clear that this is something special. The food is prepared with immense care and attention to detail, and every recipe feels thoughtfully crafted. It’s the kind of food that doesn’t just taste good, it touches your heart. The restaurant is family-run, and you can feel that warmth throughout the experience. We had the pleasure of speaking with the owners, who are genuinely kind and welcoming. That personal touch makes all the difference. This has officially become our go-to place as a family. To our pleasant surprise, even the kids absolutely loved the food,especially the chai and cookies, and they were already asking when we could go back again. All we did driving back was talked about the food 😃 The collection of homemade mithai (sweets) is simply outstanding and adds yet another reason to visit. Altogether, this place has ended our search for truly satisfying Indian food in the area, and we look forward to many more visits. Highly recommended.

  The drive from Cape Ann was Worth it! Loved this place! It’s a small, family-run Indian restaurant and you can really feel the care they put into everything. The drinks were amazing, and the food was honestly the best Indian food I’ve had in the U.S. since moving back from New Zealand. Every dish came out looking beautiful and tasted even better. We also tried the mithai bar and had such a good time picking out different sweets — some of the best we’ve had here. The whole experience felt thoughtful but still relaxed and friendly. We’ll 100% be back, and I’m already excited to come back and try the brunch!

  Absolutely amazing! I had a fantastic time at this restaurant for Thanksgiving lunch with a dear friend. The food was delicious. My turkey was incredible—juicy and perfectly seasoned, and everything else that came with it was equally tasty. I also tried eggnog for the first time at this place and absolutely loved it! The restaurant is small and cozy, with amazing decorations. But the best part of the experience was the impeccable service. Monica and her husband were friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Five stars don’t do this place justice, and the service it provides is simply unmatched!
