Last Saturday, my boyfriend and I stopped in for karaoke and a couple of drinks. We don't drink alcohol, so we ordered diet sodas. The night was enjoyable. This past Saturday we returned for more karaoke and drinks. This time the bartender (same as last week, as she's apparently the only person staffing the bar area of the restaurant), confronts us and tell us, quite directly, "You stink!" Not a typo, she said "you stink", as in, you give off an offensive odor. She proceeded to explain that people complained last week that we smell. We responded, "What do you mean?" She explained that we stunk last week, and in fact, we stink currently and that she's going to have to ask us to leave. Needless to say, we didn't and don't stink. I can't believe I feel the need to type this....we showered last Saturday and this past Saturday, and we were wearing clean clothes. Clearly no further discussion was needed at this point. We picked up our things and walked out, she smiled. It seems she did not want to serve two people just drinking soft drinks (although both nights the place had a handful of people, at most, so spacing was not an issue). She was rude, mean, and had no class. Did you ever wonder what happened to that bully in your Social Studies class from 5th grade? She's working at Anmol in Beverly, MA....will never go back there again, neither will our family and friends who live up the street in Beverly and in Danvers and Salem. Shame on you bully for not developing past the 5th grade! And, shame on you Anmol for not caring enough to teach your servers to respect your paying customers. read more

Best place to go after a day at Crane Beach. Competent Indian food. Good service. Lots of space. When they bought the space from the prior owners, they were like "This place is a shithole...CHANGE NOTHING!" They've turned the shell of some crappy townie place into a shrine for whatever used to be there. I like that. They cut decorating costs and passed the discount onto the consumer. read more

Best Indian food I've ever had, and I've had a lot. Drove over from Salem with a group of 4 on a Saturday night. The only slight ding on the whole night was that the service was a little bit slow and strange at first. Might have been a language barrier; I don't know for sure, because the guy who set the table and eventually sat us never did more than grunt and point. But the atmosphere more than made up for that. How many Indian restaurants have a full bar? I don't mean a shelf with a bunch of liquor on it, or a bar off to one side of the dining room like an afterthought. This place has an actual BAR - a whole separate full-size barroom. They even had karaoke going on. Awesome. We ordered: - Samosas - Garlic naan - cheese naan - mattar paneer - paneer tikka masala - saag paneer - chana masala Everything was perfect. Even the papadam and chutney. It was a great experience for our two vegetarian friends who were pretty new to Indian food. Check was only around $100 for a gigantic meal for four, with leftovers. Well worth the drive from Salem. It might even be worth the drive from Boston. read more

I'm really happy with Anmol. I always order chicken korma and I'm never disappointed. The curry is on the thick side, which I love. The chicken pieces are big and moist. It is super flavorful and very filling. I also love the nan- any flavor- you can't go wrong. The service is quick and cheerful. I have only done take out though. The restaurant itself is a bit dark and not very lively. read more

Amazing delicious Indian food. Fresh ingredients, large portions, plenty of food. My wife and I order take out from this place whenever we can. The food is spicy just enough, and will leave you asking for more and more. read more

Anmol - Indian Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

I wanted to try a new Indian restaurant with my fiancé, so we stopped in around 8pm on a Saturday night. I preferred to sit at one of the empty booths in the dining area, but none of them were clean, so we were directed to sit next to the bar. The drinks were ok, but it was one bartender running the whole room so we didn't get much attention. We ordered a chicken dish and Dahl makhani. The waitress asked my spice preference and I said not spicy please. We waited a full hour to get our food. The bartender told us it's a better idea to stop in around 9pm for dinner when it's not as busy.....I got my lentil dish and it was spicier than any other restaurant I've ordered it at. I only ate 1/3 of my food and was disappointed. Will not be coming back. read more

We started off with vegetable pakoras and samosas-yum! Ordered chicken biryani and malai kofta, garlic nan, also. The chicken biryani came with a large portion of raita. I had a nice glass of Chardonnay and my husband had the masala tea which smelled delicious. The service was very fast and everything was quite good. This place also does quite a take out business. We will be back! read more

TOTAL RIPOFF!! I ordered a takeout -a basmati rice dish with lamb, chicken and rice and the garlic nan. The rice was good but that is practically there was with two shrimp, maybe 3 small pieces of lamb and 3 tiny pieces chicken. The garlic nan was good. But for $26 this was a total ripoff... and they are clearly skimping on the lamb etc to make money.. so short sited because there is no way I am ever going back. read more

Food is phenomenal! You can tell they make this food from scratch with fresh ingredients. Service was good - they were always ready to fill my glass and ask us if we needed anything else. read more

Wow... Easily the best Indian food I've ever had. Wonderful flavors. Nicely spiced. Aloo tiki chaat was so nicely done! I also ventured out and tried a lamb dish I've not seen before. And they have a wine list with some nice recognizable wines :-). Yes the servers could have a tad more personality but the food was darned good! read more

Located in the heart of Beverly on the corner of Rantoul St and Federal, Anmol serves up some of the best Indian cuisine that you will find North of Boston. Anmol does just about everything right. Some of my favorites are the lamb saag and chicken tikka masala. Hard to beat their garlic naan read more

I like Anmol but find them to be overpriced. I enjoy their delivery service as well as eating in. I've never ordered from their bar but from what I've seen it's pretty standard. The food is good, service excellent what more can you ask for, other than lower prices? They also do the Beverly Arts Festival every year. This year I snagged some perfectly cooked Chicken Tikka Masala, freshly cooked naan and a mango lassi. All for $10, the cheapest I've ever eaten at Anmol. read more

My first taste of Anmol happened to be on the 4th of July for a late lunch. I usually would make my way to Passage to India in Salem for all my Indian lunch time needs, but I decided to try outside the box. Upon walking in, there wasn't a single other customer. At first I was a little weary of this, but once I sat down I realized it was actually pretty nice. I'm one of those weirdos that likes to be alone and far away from others when I eat. Booths are my absolute best friend, usually. We started our meal out with the vegetarian platter appetizer, a garden salad, and the giant meat platter. Which honestly I'm not sure what its called. I just know there were far too many different animals on it for me to want to try it. My boyfriend seemed to love it. I wasn't a huge fan of the honey mustard dressing that came with the salad, but that wasn't a deal breaker. And I must admit I had a brain fart and forgot to even order dressing. The rice and seasoned sauce that came with the meat platter was beyond flavorful, and there was definitely enough food for two people to share. Which is always a plus since I'm a thief and steal off my boyfriends plate often. Prices were reasonable, and I didn't feel rushed the entire time. The ambiance, like others have said, wasn't too dark or too bright. Just right! read more

This place is amazing. Did take away and got chicken Korma and Saag Paneer.It was the best Indian food I have ever had- strongly recommend. I will be back frequently read more

Thank God for another option for Indian food on the North Shore! Anmol is very friendly and the food is quiet yummy. Their garlic Nan was pretty amazing and our food was really flavorful. I can't wait to try their Dosa... mmmmmm Dosa.... They took over an old bar and there are still some old bar mirrors so my only complaint would be the atmosphere. I like pictures from the Karma Sutra and Taj Mahal while I'm eating at my Indian Restaruants :-) read more

I'm up in MA and I had the desire for some Indian food, so we drove to Beverly and was excited to go to Anmol for the second time. Plus- +Lentil 'bread' served as soon as you walk in +Nann was above average +Aloo paratha +Vegetarian appetizer platter was perfect Negative- -Chicken masala dosa- there was tiny shreads of chicken, but barely there. Not much of a fan of the bread. Not that tasty either. I thought it was interesting to try since it was a South Indian special. -The most expensive Indian meal you will ever have. -Service was decent. I did however feel that the waiter was hovering a little too close at times as well as doing a lot of staring at me, which I did not care for at all. I do have to say that I usually eat Indian food quite often and my stomach never gets this upset. I have had gas for many many hours and I can not sleep. So I can't say that this has left me with a pleasant impression of Anmol. It's sad to say that my meal at Anmol has upset my stomach and now created the air around me to smell like a dead Anmol. read more

Minus one star for the somewhat neutral service. Can service be unfriendly, yet attentive? If so, Anmol has that kind in spades. Minus another star for the Gulab Jaman, coconut soup, and lack of spice. I will say I definitely enjoy this better than the Indian restaurant closer to me. So, when I cannot make it down to my hometown I make the trip across the bridge to go to Anmol. I love their Peshawari Naan and their Channal Masala. The gulab jaman, however, leaves a lot to be desired. It's super mushy and has an odd texture to it. The coconut soup is just meh. I would definitely make this a regular spot for me if their service was better. We are always seated right in front of the door despite it being cold and while we always had our water refilled regularly they never smile, say hello, or really show any personality. read more

Ordered the lamb kebab tandoori. The lamb was like leather. Was not a kebab but rather slices of lamb. Served it with onions and peppers which were not cooked at all. So disappointed. read more

We typically order from Anmol once per month. It's a special treat for us, especially for occasions such as Mother's Day. We've been ordering to go since Covid, and have had no issues with any of our orders. We are vegetarian and appreciate the large variety of options for us. The food is always delicious. In the past year I've discovered utthappam, a savory pancake served with coconut chutney. It's comparable to some of the NYC restaurants I have tried. read more

Anmol is great if you love Indian food and you are extremely lazy.....know why? They deliver1 and for that they get an extra star! Yay delivery! read more

We went here for my step-daughter's birthday lunch on Sunday. The food is very reasonably priced for lunch. I had the Malai Kofta at $6.95, and split an order of veggie samosas with my husband. I also stole some of my step-daughter's garlic naan, which wafted an incredible smell all over the table. The service seemed a little surly, but efficient. Our food got to us quickly and our water glasses got refilled every few minutes. The server may not have been having the best day -- I'll let it slide. It certainly wouldn't keep my from going back. read more

THE BEST Indian food! I've been there a few times and will be going there many many times! In fact, gonna have lunch there today! Also, it's pretty inexpensive for what you get. Really don't understand ppl complaining. Love their food, service, atmosphere, etc. Def 5 starts! read more

My review will consist of only the bar portion of Anmol. I have yet to have more than some of naan, so you won't hear much about the food in my review. I've gone to Anmol several times for several occasions, but all of which were to grab a drink. The success of the night primarily depends on who is serving. Most of the time the event goes off without much fanfare, but sometimes we'll get a certain server who is not what I'd call a people person. Several rude comments were delivered times when we have had come in with large groups, so overall I'd say avoid Anmol with them. But for any bad thing I have to say about one server can totally be undone by the bartender, Bobby. He's got great charisma and is wicked friendly. He might even give you a free shot of jager before you take off? Anyways, whenever we go, we try to hit it Sunday nights to make sure we get his shift. read more

Great place!!! The people here are very polite and nice. The food is excellent. My wife and I asked for a lamb vindaloo and a chicken curry. My wife asked both of them hot, but when we realized they were very spicy, the waiter offered us to make it mild. For our surprise he brought a hole new dish for us! Definitely a place we will be coming back very often. read more

The worst. Went here based on the good Yelp reviews. What a mistake. We ordered the appetizer sampler which was pretty bad...all the meat items were very dried out, even theTandoori. Main dishes were chicken tikka masala which was requested medium but it had no heat and was strangely quite sweet. My husband ordered a veg saag hot which again had no heat and was pretty bland. Order Peshawary naan which was spongy and way too sweet since they added sugar to it....actually was crunchy sugar. And topping it off was the surly waiter. Pretty sad overall read more

Excellent food! Clean and great atmosphere! We are so happy to find this place! Such a gem

I went to Anmol on a MONDAY night with my family for my brother's birthday. The service was terrible from beginning to end! We were a group of 8 and were the only one's in the dining room for the 1.5 hours we were there. The server never bothered to ask if anyone wanted to place a drink order or an appetizer so we had to request this ourselves. He was only concerned with placing our meal order. Our waters were never refilled and when the food did come out, the server didn't know who ordered what. After receiving the food, our table was never checked on from time to time. We only saw the servers again once we were done eating our meals. The worst part of the whole night was when we asked the servers to bring out my brother's birthday cake and candles. I had arrived earlier than the rest of the group to provide the restaurant with the cake so I could surprise the birthday boy with it after dinner. So after dinner, I told our servers discreetly that we were ready for the birthday cake. The server brought the cake in the original box AND bag I had brought it in and was just going to place it on the table. I had to get up and immediately stop the server from just placing the bagged cake on the table. But by this time, the mini surprise was ruined. Overall, the food was ok, but the servers were inattentive, careless and rude! I would not recommend Anmol! read more

We ducked in here at 9pm on a weekday on the way home from an appointment. It looks like a dive bar from the outside. The space was a bit dirty but we were satisfied with the food in spite of the ambiance. It came out quickly at that hour - the place was empty. The staff who provided water were friendly, but let's call him the main waiter- didn't crack a smile or even flinch when he knocked my glass of water across the table soaking everything. Not so much as an -- oops sorry! The service leaves much to be desired here. I'm not from the area so won't be back. But if I was a local I'd look around to try some other Indian options or go to Burlington which is better than Boston. read more

Food is ok but Restaurant is dirty. Servers are very nice but you need to call them for everything, they don't even fill the water unless you ask them . Only reason I go there coz There is no Option for indian food around. read more

I am a HUGE fan of Indian food, all regions! I am ALSO a huge FAN of Anmol! Excellent service, clean establishment, speedy take out service AND top notch food! Dine in for lunch or dinner, with friends or with your kids! Sample the variety of naans available and do NOT skip either samosa, meat or vegetable! read more

Consistently amazing. Absolutely wonderful. One of the best if not the best food in Beverly.

Terrific local Indian restaurant. Reminds me of the quality of food and service from Indian restaurants in NY and London. Usually get lamb saag or lamb keema mutter. Always good. I get a lot of takeout but have sat in restaurant a few times and the service is good. Well priced too. read more

I went here for the first time for my fiance's birthday a couple weeks ago. There were 8 of us total. It was mid afternoon on Sunday, so the restaurant was pretty empty, just us and a family of four. The menu is very extensive, even though I'm somewhat picky, I found plenty of meals I would happily eat. And the food did not disappoint. The service was very good to, as was to be expected since it was slow that day. Everyone we went with loved it. My mother and her boyfriend go there regularly, it's one of their favorite restaurants. read more

Awesome samosas! Amazing sauces! Tender moist Tandoori chicken! We picked up a load of food for a party...and our guests were thrilled. Thank you, to everyone at Anmol, for making the party a huge success, and for caring so much about the quality of the food you prepare. Everything was fresh and delicious. WE WILL BE BACK VERY SOON! read more

I got the lamb curry, which was amazing. The wait staff are nice, not much for the conversation but still attentive. The lighting is a little dark, but if you look at the lighting fixtures they are amazing and add some of the Indian ambiance. This will be my new favorite spot for sure!!! read more

Anmol - I'm not sure what these sauces are but they are all excellent!!! To for warn, the green one is spicier than the other two. - Indian Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Excellent team anytime you go. Le Anne is always a great asset to the bar team, not only beautiful but very talented. And assisstive. I always get great service. read more

Anmol serves delicious Indian Cuisine! I've had the pleasure of eating their lunch special a couple of times. The first time, I had their Bangan bartha, nicely flavored dish. The second time I tried their Lamb Korma, oh my! The curry sauce of the Korma was spicy and slightly acidic, my mouth is beginning to water from the memory. The lunch specials come with rice, pappadams, and rice pudding. The first time, I left the place stuffed. All the food I've ever had from there has been quite fresh, and well balanced. I wish there were a few more adventurous times, but overall, a fantastic place! read more

My husband and I moved to the North Shore from Boston. We love Indian take-out and were sad to leave our favorite spot behind. We tried ordering from Passage to India in Salem a few times, and were always disappointed. Fortunately we stumbled upon Anmol and now order maybe once every two weeks. The food is really delicious and flavorful. We always order our curries medium, and they are perfectly spicy (though I probably could not handle it an hotter). I've never eaten in the restaurant, so I cannot attest to service, but am definitely a loyal customer. My favorite curry is the Shahi Paneer Korma. read more

A good friend who lives in Beverly recommended Anmol to me last month, as I was looking for a new Indian Restaurant to try. We immediately gave it a try and it did not disappoint. Well, let me just say that we've now gotten takeout there 4 times - pretty much once a week since we found them! They have wonderful food - everything tastes very fresh and well seasoned. We especially love the Mutter Paneer, the Dal, the Shahi Paneer Korma and of course the Chicken Tikka Masala. Also love their Naan, especially the Garlic and the Peshawari, which is sweet and delicious! I highly recommend Anmol if you are looking for some delicious Indian food on the Northshore. read more

The main course in this restaurant was quite good, 5 stars for the main course. The appetizers were OK too; the rasmalai was horrendous. They made rasmalai out of rice, instead of clotted cream. Very dissatisfied with the dessert. read more
