  We came in for dinner on a Monday and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. I haven’t found a go-to spot for Indian food but this place will definitely become one! Some of the best Indian food I’ve been able to find in the Boston area. The drinks were also delicious too. We ordered the gobi manchurian, paneer tikka, and the Malabar chicken. Portions were a good size so we were each able to take home leftovers. I’m already excited to go back and try other things on the menu. They also have live jazz on Mondays so we had an amazing meal with a show!

  This restaurant is amazing for special occasions, a night out with friends, and date night too! We started with drinks; the mango daiquiri and the pomegranate no-jito (an amazing mocktail!). For appetizers, we had the samosas (which were delicious) and the Apollo fish (perfectly cooked and seasoned). Our mains were the Biryani and the Herb-Crusted Lamb Chops (photo attached) which were both phenomenal! The service was excellent and they were more than willing to accommodate our dietary preferences. Each dish was plated with intentionality and care, making the food not only delicious but aesthetically pleasing as well! We will definitely be back and are looking forward to trying Monday jazz nights with friends! Overall, it was an amazing experience and we HIGHLY recommend trying this restaurant while you can still get a reservation!

  Best Indian food in Brookline, MA. All the food had exceptional flavors. No two dishes were alike. Kudos to the chef’s. Had their buffet as well - amazing!!! The carrot halwa (desert) had the perfect sweetness. Our waiter Sam makes the best cocktails too. Thanks a ton! So glad you guys opened up in Brookline.

  Got Thai Spiced Tofu Bao, Spicy Sesame Tofu and Veggie Stir-Fry, Paneer Biryani, and a mango daquiri. The Bao was really good. The Stir-Fry looked good, but had this awful fake-smoke kerosene flavor. The Biryani was decent tasting, but when ordering I asked for something saucy (like a curry) that was vegetarian and was pointed toward the Biryani. It wasn't what I was looking for at all when I received it. Two very small sauces on the side which were just fine. Looking at the menu now, I should've ordered the Malai Kofta, Dal Tadka, or Paneer Tikka Masala. I also would've liked if the biryani I got (or the paneer tikka masala) could've been done with tofu instead of paneer, but when I asked I was told they could not be. The mango daquiri was very tasty with the homemade mango simple, a bit pricey at $15 for a coup glass size. Other than what I mentioned, the ambience and service were good! Other positive while I'm here: the menu and photos are very well done. I do wish the restaurant menu was like the online menu (where every dish has a photo), because we would've ordered better.
