The food, however, was wonderful! I sampled their chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, saag paneer, raita, garlic naan, samosas, and mango lassi. All items had the perfect balance of spice and cooked to perfection. This restaurant isn't far from Boston College, either. I would return just for the food! A 5-star rating reserved for those who have exceptional service and ambiance along with their spectacular food.

The chicken that was there was pretty dry, and I had to gulp down large amounts of water to wash it down. This seems like a takeout spot because we were served in styrofoam plates and bowls. Nothing against takeout spots, but the ambience just didn't really add much to the overall experience. Servers were pleasant and service was decent. Unfortunately not enough to make up for bad the food was though. Worst indian food I've had in the Boston area yet. Would not be coming back unless significant changes are made.

I figured I would try this place over my usual Indian spot (Shan a punjab)…read more.. The chicken tikka masala was a pale orange. My usual spot makes it darker with visible spices in it. Indian kitchens version was pretty flavorless. The Naan is half a Naan for $3+ and comparing it to my usual spot, dry and flaky. I'm used to soft pillowy Naan with flavor. Likewise, even the rice was disappointing. I gave this place a try but I can't justify it again knowing the flavor and value I get at pretty much any other spot. Shan is my go to and will continue to be.

Every dish we ordered had amazing spice and authenticity without being overly heavy. The service was also outstanding. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. The new owners have done a fantastic job creating a warm atmosphere while keeping the quality of the food top-notch. If you haven't been in a while, it's definitely worth giving this place another try. Easily the best Indian restaurant in the area now. Highly recommend!

The Goat Biryani was incredibly flavorful and served with a nice yogurt-based sauce, though we did wish it had a bit more meat. And the Peshwari Naan was easily my favorite part of the meal! It arrived in four quarters and had the perfect, subtle sweetness from the honey, raisins, and coconut. To finish, the Kulfi was served diced into pieces, which made it easy to share. It was the perfect "not-too-sweet" end to the night with a lovely nuttiness.

The Goat Kadai was tasty, mixing a bit of tanginess with the tenderness of the meat. There were a few fattier bits that would have been better not being there, but otherwise quite delicious. The whole wheat paratha was a nice alternative to the naan, with its use of whole wheat and crispiness that arises from the texture. The spinach potato (aloo panak) was nice and smooth, with the spinach mixing into the texture of the soft potato very nicely. The mixed vegetable curry contained some cauliflower, peas, and broccoli, and each vegetable maintained crispy integrity. Excellent meal overall!!!

My family and I was craving Indian food today and one of our Indian friends recommended this (new…read moreto us) place in Watertown (near/behind the Lexus dealership). It was convenient to get to with plenty of parking up front. Its about 5 minutes from Arsenal Yards. The restaurant looks pretty modern and trendy, with several tables on the side for dining in. I was promptly greeted upon entry with a smile. Picking up my takeout order was easy and quick. Food was packaged well and secure - important for this cuisine as you don't want to lose any of the sauces! The food portions are really good and pricing is pretty reasonable given the times, and pricing of similar restaurants in the area. More importantly, the quality and tastes of the food was exquisite! Good Indian food takes time and care in preparation to ensure the flavors are balanced with properly prepared ingredients. The texture of the meats and veggies were spot-on, with great balance in flavor. It wasn't overbearing and I think their flavors are flexible enough to cater to most palates. The chicken 65 was surprisingly not soggy, given this was take out. The butter chicken was so creamy with generous chicken pieces that were tender but not falling apart. The chicken tikka had great flavors and similarly well prepared chicken pieces. The garlic naan was actually flavorful, and is very evidently crafted onsite vs mass produced. The chicken biriyani was probably the standout dish. It was prepared with fluffy basmati rice with a great blend of spices (and color) and tender chicken pieces. I liked that the onions for some of the dishes were large cut and easily removed, as not everyone in the family likes onions. The only critique for the place is that there were no paper menus for old heads like myself that still prefers to look over it prior to ordering. Luckily, the online ordering experience was simple and straight forward. I created a Toast account in the process and hope it will be even easier going forward. You can even specify the spice level for most dishes. Overall, Chennai Eats is a wonderful addition to the local community. The place is clean, the food is tasty and a family could get full and happy without breaking the bank. I look forward to trying this place again, and exploring some of their other offerings. I'm also glad to have found a closer alternative to quality Indian food, vs going all the way out to Godavari.

Ghee Masala Dosa (7.5/10): Also my first time having dosas, so it's hard for me to judge how good they are relatively. Nonetheless, they were super tasty! I loved the ghee flavor. Texture was great. Masala filling was pretty good, but I think any other filling would have been fine as well. Chicken 65 (9.5/10): FANTASTIC. The chicken was oh so tender while also being fried to perfection. I have not had this kind of fried chicken from an Indian restaurant before. Flavors were also on point with just a hint of spicy. Butter Chicken (9/10): Delicious!! Great balance of flavors. Chicken was tender. Service was good. Prices are very fair, either average or below average. We'll definitely be back!!!

That being said, the place was packed after 7 so consider what time you're coming when trying to walk in without a reservation. The entrance is up the stairs and as soon as you walk through the door, you're greeted with a great view of Winthrop Park and the surrounding area. We were promptly seated and the lively wait staff came and took our drink order shortly thereafter. We started with the complimentary papadum and chutneys and our appetizer order of hara bhara kebab which was a nice vegetarian fritter. For our entrees, we got the baingan bhartan, chicken tikka masala (dairy free one), yellow daal tadka, tandoori roti, onion kulcha, and paneera bharura. The breads were all fantastic and I enjoyed the chicken tikka masala (dairy free made with coconut milk) just to see how it was different from a standard chicken tikka masala. For dessert, we got the gajar halwa (which was awesome!) and kulfi. Overall, I'm glad to have finally tried this place and may revisit it again in the future. Worth considering if you're in the area.

Our server was incredibly attentive and would always make sure to follow up and that everything is good. There was a plate that we had that had a stain on it. Our server noticed immediately and swapped out the plate without us having to tell him. He refilled our waters as soon as he saw that our glasses were empty. Compared to the first time that I was here, I think the service remains excellent and unchanged. The quality of the food was amazing. Overall, the dishes were delicious. I enjoy the blend of spices and flavors that you could taste within the food. In terms of food quality, this is easily becoming my favorite Indian restaurant in Boston. I appreciate the restaurant location and internal setup. The restaurant is nestled near Harvard Square on the second floor with a nice view to the local neighborhood around Cambridge. There were many tables by the window so customers could enjoy the ambience. Overall, would recommend. If I find myself returning to Boston, I will definitely make time to stop by again.
