I have been going to Anmol for many years because the food is so yummy. Today I want to tell you about their health precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic. First, the wait staff was wearing masks when I walked in. They put up a new glass barrier at the counter. A table was set up with a pen. So although they did take my credit card, they did not need to touch the pen for me to sign. They did not need to touch my hand when giving me my food because they put it on the table for me. And when they saw I was staying 6 feet away from one customer who, a few minutes later, did not respect my space, they stepped in and guided him over to the side to wait while I finished my payment. I've always been impressed with the food here. Today I was so impressed with the safety precautions and service I was given. Thank you! read more

Absolutely my favorite Indian food restaurant, try the chicken tikka masala, lamb kabobs and aloo gohbi. Bonus recommendation, ask Bobby about his secret chicken drumsticks, to die for! Haven't had chicken that was so juicy with a dry rub, wow!!! This is the best restaurant in Beverly bar none read more

Veggie samosas best I've had. She got Chicken Tikka Masala, which was tasty. I got Chicken Curry and it was really good. Asked for Medium spicy and wish I would have gotten hotter though. Got an order of Garlic Naan as well, which was awesome. Everything was very fresh and servers were quick and attentive. We'll be back! read more

The most flavorful Indian cuisine on the Northshore! We LOVE Anmol. The restaurant is clean and the staff is polite. When we're not eating there my co-workers and I are doing take-out. Always a delicious feast! Excellent portions & cooked as specified. There was a minor flub up once where I was given a spicy dish rather than the mild (unfortunately, I have a sensitivity to spicy food that causes some serious issues - which is a drag) and if you're a spicy food fan - you will LOVE this place! Ha ha ha! My husband is indeed a spicy food lover and when he gets their food "hot hot", he is in endorphin heaven! We used to be a fan of another local Indian place but Anmol blows them out of the water. If you're visiting the area & craving Indian, this is the place to go. The indoor decor is a bit dated but don't let that deter you, it's the food that's excellent & when you're stuffing your face with samosas & chicken tikka masala, the last thing you're doing is looking at the wood paneled walls! Enjoy! read more

Amazing food, great drinks, - bartender is awesome and personable. Doesn't matter if you're dinning in or getting take-out the food is always perfect. read more

Oh the deliciousness! We tried Anmol for the first time last night and were so impressed! I had Masala Shrimp and loved it! The prices were reasonable and the portions were large. Can't wait to try more dishes. read more

First time trying Indian food, I was skeptical! Based off reviews me and a girlfriend went here to try it out! Busy weekend night and we were seated almost immediately. Yes, the decor is outdated. But who really cares about decor when your mouth is salivating from all the delicious smells coming from others guests plates.... My friend and I both ordered the Chicken Tikka masala! Medium heat. It was phenomenal! We also got garlic naan, but it was the Peshawary naan that blows it out the water!! Our waiter was extremely friendly, even brought us an Indian drink mango smoothie that was out of this world, good! To finish the meal, they bring some candied minty fennel seeds. We weren't sure what to do with them, so we each ate a few. The experience itself was a fun one! read more

The food was pretty good. We got Chicken Tandoori, Chicken Makhni and Garlic Naan and a order of Gulab Jamun for dessert. The Chicken Tandoori was well prepared and not too dry. The Chicken Makhni was prepared mild like we asked and it paired well with the Garlic Naan. The Chicken Tandoori came with a side of sauce which was basically the same as the Chicken Makhni. Basmati rice was also included with the Chicken Makhni. The Gulab Jamun was bigger than most places and totally worth it. The only down side was the manager yelling at one of the employees. Perhaps the employee was new and a serious mistake was made, but yelling at the employee was not necessary and completely humiliating for the employee. Also we got a to go container and the Chicken Makhni was packed in a container that isn't really meant for liquid which ended up causing the grease tho soak through both bags. Again rookie mistake and Im sure it wont happen again. read more

Anmol - Indian Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Went their Friday, and was a bit disappointed based on the existing reviews. The place was very busy, so it took a while for us to get our food. The sauces on the table were fresh and delicious. For appetizers, the Meat Samosas were also very good. Main courses were disappointing. Fish (Haddock) Masala was overcooked and therefore dry. Lamb Rogan Josh was bland (had asked for medium spice) and also overcooked. Naans were doughy (not baked enough), and the Raita was uninteresting. read more

The absolute best Indian food around. Insanely delicious. Everything is great and they're always consistent. Take out is fresh every time. My whole family loves this place! Every time we finish a meal from here we always say how perfect and tasty it was. Highly recommended. read more

Best Indian food, hands up. Seriously. Chicken tiki masala? Brilliant. Vegetable simosa? Bomb. read more

Anmol was one of my first experiences with Indian food, and it was wonderful! The servers were so kind and deserve a big tip! I had the Vegetable Pakora which is kind of similar to a potato latke, only with vegetables inside. It was awesome. At the beginning of your meal they bring out a platter of three different sauces, one really spicy, one medium, and one mint sauce. I then ordered the Garlic Naan, which is basically an Indian garlic bread, and that was delicious as well. For the main course, I got a chicken & rice dish that I forgot the name of, but it was amazing. I think it was basmati rice with yellow curry & chicken. The restaurant is small and a bit dark, but the food is amazing, and is relatively inexpensive for Indian food, I guess. The biggest drawback is the kind of sketchy neighborhood it's located in... upon leaving the restaurant, someone rolled down his car window and yelled at me... Which OF COURSE is not a bad reflection on the restaurant, just the area. The street is pretty run-down, so I would just suggest walking with someone else at night. Overall, though, great food and great service! Thanks, Anmol! I think they deliver for free, as well! read more

Great costumer service and some of the best Indian food I have had. Lots of vegetarian options on the menu.

One of our all time fave restaurants..set due to Covid 19 they are only doing take out so you can't enjoy the lounge, keno and great drinks but the take out is still too notch! read more

Popped in late afternoon on a Sunday, not busy -Mango lassi: good flavor, medium sweet -Chicken saag: thick, very tasty, medium spicy was solid spicy -Chicken curry: nice flavor, my wife wasn't super impressed but I thought it was good -Complementary kheer: fairly well flavored, I woulda liked a little more spice read more

5 years later and things have only gotten better. I have never had a bad meal here. Not a single bad bite. Everything is amazing. Their flavors are spot on. The meats are always tender no matter how or what you get. Their peshwari Naan is still my number one favorite thing to eat ever. read more

I was craving biryani so we stopped in to pick up some last night. I hadn't been to this location in quite awhile as I have other Indian places closer but since we were in the area we called ahead for an order of lamb biryani and pashawari naan bread. Despite saying 30 minutes and us arriving around 40 minutes later there was still a bit of a wait for the food. The bread was great - so sweet. The rice was the right spice but really lacking in lamb. I counted only a few chunks and I'm used to getting more with those types of orders. Everything tasted good though so I would order take-out again. Price is very good for the amount of food too. read more

This is a great hidden gem! The garlic nan is so yummy! And the service is by far the best! I love coming here and can not wait until we can do dine in again read more

I had never eaten Indian food before in my life and to be honest I was kinda nervous to try it! Well my whole life got turned around after eating here..my god was it delicious !!! One of my new favorite spots. Loved how low key the restaurant was, great service, and good prices for the amount of food you receive. Everything I ordered was DELICIOUS! I highly recommend everyone to try. Got the garlic naan bread, chicken tikka medium and the broccoli pakoras SO good. The flavors of everything was different yet so phenomenal !! read more

Pretty solid stuff! A little bit pricey but the flavor is worth it. Ordered chicken tikka masala and the biryani was awesome

This is based on only delivery/takeout review. [+] + delicious decent Indian restaurant serving typical North Indian food. This is the style of food commonly served by the most Indian restaurants in the United States. + prompt delivery [-] - excessive use of food coloring, which rather than being enticing gives me more negative reaction - More than often, they miss or switch some minor order read more

This place is amazing! Recently moved to the area and have been in search of good Indian. This place far exceeded our expectations! We ordered some staple entrees like chicken tikka, saag paneer and shahi paneer korma. They were all some of the best I have ever had! We ordered medium and spice level was perfect for us. We got a selection of naan as well which were all great! Can't wait to further explore the menu!! read more

After eating at Anmol many times and trying several things on their menu, I finally feel confident in giving this place 5 stars. First and foremost, the food is fantastic. Just honest food that is accurately described on the menu, and prepared correctly every time. I have never once detected a lack of freshness. The food comes out quick, but not "this has been waiting for you to order it all day" quick, if ya dig. The menu is nice. Organized somewhat awkwardly, but it's easy enough to navigate. Any dish that is inherently hot and spicy is marked as such. Spiciness is where Anmol really shines. Whether you are timid about hotness or want the chef to make you cry, Anmol can do it. For any type of curry-based dish, they serve it mild, medium, or hot. Mild is seasoned, but not hot. Medium is seasoned and somewhat spicy, but nothing crazy. Hot is what it sounds like: a nice kick and a great reason to order an extra beer or cocktail to wash it down. Service at Anmol is adequate. The staff seats you immediately and brings over water, papadum, and three different sauces for the papadum. Honestly, someone with a small stomach could probably fill up just on what Anmol gives you for free. Water comes steady, which is always nice. The only downside here is that the waiters sometimes do hover. Also, one of them looks like he should have Indiana Jones' still-beating heart in his hand. Jokes aside, there is nothing rude or unprofessional about the waiters at Anmol. The bar is solid. I'm not a wine guy, so I can't speak on what they have. Beer selection is slightly above average. Guinness, Harpoon, UFO, Sam, Sam Seasonal, PBR ($2!) and others are on tap. They have some Indian-type beers and most standards in bottles. Not a destination spot for beer, but not a place void of anything drinkable. Mixed drinks are fine, but the fancier you get, the more likely you are to strike out. Jack and Coke? No problem. Chocolate martini? Maybe not... Aesthetics. Simple design. A dozen or so booths and another large dining room with many tables. The lighting is on the dim side, but not too dark at all. The whole joint is very clean. Drive by some time at 10 AM and you're likely to see the waitstaff outside manicuring the grounds. This same cleanliness is present indoors too. All in all, there isn't a long wrong with Anmol. I have had their naan, garlic naan, chicken pakora, chicken tikka masala, lamb curry, chicken vindaloo and other dishes. I hardly have a favorite because it is all so good. Anmol taught me that I like Indian food. Now that I've been around the block a bit, Anmol taught me that their Indian food is best. Prost! read more

Finally made it to Anmol after trying out A Passage to India in Salem last month. Aside from the Mango Lassis, we went in a different direction in terms of the dishes. We started with the Vegetarian mix appetizer, which included Samosa, pakora, tikki and cheese pakora. Nothing really stood out, but everything oozed crispy goodness. I'd definitely order it again, but next time we'll try the Anmol mix appetizer, which includes the meat versions of above. For our entrees, we went with the Chicken Jalfrezi (ordered "hot") and the Tandoori mixed grill (ordered "medium"), which included Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Tikka, Boti Kabab, Seekh Kabab and Tandoori Shrimp. I don't know if it was just here, or if it's just a by-product of cooking meat in a Tandoor, but everything was a bit dry. Intensely flavorful, but dry. The Chicken Jalfrezi, however, was the hit of the table, though its "hot" was about the equivalent of the "medium" Tandoori mixed grill. We also ordered some regular Naan, which lived up to expectations--it was fantastic. The service was incredibly attentive. Surprisingly, we weren't downing a lot of water during the meal, but I noticed the waiter often spying our water glasses to see if we needed refills. When we did take a few sips, he was there to quickly top off the glasses. Based on my experiences, I'd say A Passage to India and Amnol are a toss-up. It's like BMW versus Mercedes. Either way you can't lose, but I'll save the 5 star rating for a restaurant to moves me like a Porsche. Next up, Bollywood Grill in North Andover... read more

I've eaten here a number of times since a friend used to live just down the street, however it has been a little over a year since I last visited. When another friend decided to have Indian for her birthday dinner, I suggested this restaurant because I've always been nothing but impressed with the service and food. Unfortunately, that was not the case last night. We had a group of almost 20 people, and while I understand that handling a large group will not always go smoothly, there is absolutely no excuse for how poorly it was handled. The majority of the group was seated between 7:30 - 7:45, there was no real rhyme or reason to the way the orders were taken or when they were taken for that matter. Around 8:15 the gentleman asked if people would like appetizers, the person at the first seat ordered and he left, not taking orders from anyone else at the table, and did not return until hers was ready. Even at this point, people had to ask him to take their order, he was just going to drop it down and leave. Water was not refilled and no one returned, so one of our dining companions went and got the pitcher from the hostess stand next to the women's restroom and filled glasses at the table, which earned her dirty looks. Unfortunately that still didn't prompt them to be more attentive. We finally were able to order dinner, though one order came significantly after everyone else received theirs, one was completely forgotten and had to be requested specifically by going to the register, because again, no one ever. came. back. Getting the check ended up being a joke as well - even though a some people had requested separate checks and was told this was not a problem, we received one check for the entire party. We were able to get that split up by taking it directly to the register, since again, no one ever came back to our table without someone going and asking for assistance, other than to pick up dirty dishes. I'm honestly disappointed that I recommended this place for a friend's birthday, the whole experience was absolutely lacking. By the time all was said and done we had been there for over 3.5 hours, most of which was spent waiting for someone, anyone, to pay attention to us and provide the type of service for which I know they are capable. read more

Finally made a trip over the bridge to Beverly to try this place and so glad I did! The food was excellent and our waiter was very nice. We started with the complimentary papadum and sauces. Nice and crunchy. We ate them pretty quickly and the waiter came by and asked us if we wanted more! Yes please. Usually you get like maybe 4 of these for free at most Indian places, we must have had 10. AND they let me take home the ones I couldn't stuff in my face during dinner. Excellent. For our meals, I got the malai kofta, which is one of my favorite dishes. I told him I wanted it hot, and he gave me the usual "are you sure, you look pretty white to me, I am not sure if you will like it" look, but I said bring it on. And they did! I love it when a restaurant actually listens to me when I tell them I like spicy food instead of assuming I can't handle the heat. I thought it was perfect (and my boyfriend thought it was way too hot). I got 4 veggie balls instead of the standard 3. Yum. The bf got the lamb curry, mild, which he really enjoyed. We also got some peshwari naan, which was super sweet and buttery. It was a great compliment to my spicy dish. The waiter came by often to refill our water, check to make sure I was happy with my meal, and joke about how he doesn't like spicy food at all. He was very nice, and not overbearing at all. I have complained that there is no good Indian up here (I really just don't think Passage to India is good at all, sorry) so I am glad I finally found this place. I am planning to go back for lunch and try some other dishes. read more

First, like most everyone else, we were impressed with the service. Friendly and attentive are the watchwords. Not even a cross glance at this couple coming in with a small child. I can't help but compare all Indian restaurants with the one I have eaten at most frequently, Passage to India in Salem. While Passage isn't the end all of Indian cuisine, it's my benchmark. Anmol is close. The choice of three chutneys with our complimentary papadum was tasty. The onion chutney had a pleasantly spicy finish and the mint chutney was a nice surprise. The tamarind was what you expect. My wife had samosas for an appetizer. Nothing remarkable. I had bhotti kebab, lamb from the tandoor. Tasty, but not exactly a taste explosion. For entree, she had a chicken masala dhosa, which was served with a dal and vegetable, sort of, soup. I had lamb vindaloo. We asked for medium spice (really, I like heat but I had heartburn yesterday; please don't take away my Some Like It Hot Spicy Food Fanatics(tm) card). The vindaloo sauce was a little sweet, which was different. The naan was good too, but it wasn't as buttery as I'm used to. It was thinner and the bottom crust was almost crackery. Anmol is good, but nothing really stands out except for the service was excellent. I think we'll go back, but Passage to India remains higher on my list. Update: I felt compelled to add a little more. My wife says her leftovers were scrumptious, even better the next day and she was impressed that they took the time to include all of her leftovers in separate containers, including the little bit of dal and chutney that was left. read more

My first foray into the world of Indian food was some place in Hipster Central Somerville a few years ago. The food was so bland and boring that I didn't bother giving it a second shot. Each time the ladyfriend said "Let's get Indian!", I'd pick one of the dozen sushi places in the area to go to instead. My love for sushi knows no bounds and the ladyfriend is never one to argue with more sushi in our lives. So when the ladyfriend wanted to go this week, I finally relented. After hearing so many people rave about Anmol, I figured we should give it a go. First, because I was hungry and would eat just about anything at that time, and second because it is in my hometown so I just like to go there. Now, I remember this place when it was the Wine Cellar and, decor-wise, not much has changed, apparently. Some Indian decor has gone up, but everything else has stayed the same...and I like that. Reminds me of a simpler time when Beverly wasn't chock full of overpriced gastropubs where everyone is tripping over each other to get you to spend $8 on a triplesecretdoubleprobationhopped IPA or something (and I can be a bit of a beer snob). It seems like each time an old Beverly establishment goes away, what takes its place is something to drag the yuppies out of the Farms to dine with the commonfolk. There are few places left in Beverly where a good meal is met with a modest beer selection and a "broken in" feel to the establishment...and Anmol has that. No pretentiousness, just a relaxed atmosphere and good eats. Novel concept, eh? Now to the food itself, if I knew this is what you could get with Indian food I would have given in ages ago. This place is to Indian food what Cielito Lindo is to Mexican, you can go elsewhere and get bland boring crap that will distort your idea of what is possible for this food or you can go here and get the real thing done right. We got the anmol mixed platter, the tandoori mixed grill and the keema naan. I wasn't sure how much food to expect...it ended up being a lot. Despite being super hungry, we both ended up with very large lunches the next day. I could go on and on about the food, but my words don't do it justice - it is hard to explain what awesome tastes like. As for the service, while the waiter was eerily quiet, he was attentive as all hell and very pleasant. Can't really ask for much more than that. - Juggs read more

I have been to this restaurant at least 10 times and was always very happy with it but last Saturday (6 days ago) it was downright awful. We sat for a long time (at least 10-15 minutes) before the not quite surly but definitely not friendly waiter came to take our dinner order. The beverage and water guys came right over and were very attentive. Maybe it was what we ordered non-vegetarian uttapam- the onions and peppers were overpowering and undercooked, the mixed "garden" vegetables - frozen mixed vegetables from a bag in a bland curry sauce, and shrimp curry - so-so with stingy portion of shrimp. The carpet also looked dirty. Don't know if it was a bad day or what but ended up leaving half of the food uneaten when we could finally get the check. We had to literally get up and look for the waiter. Have had a much better experience at A Taste of India recently in Salem. read more

Put it this way, I ordered enough take out in order to have leftovers for two days --------purposely. Food was ready in 20 minutes, which was perfect and gave me plenty of time to sit at the bar, watch part of the Sox game and play a round of Keno... sound too "townie-ish" for you.... next time you want takeout, and your are sick of ordering the same pizza, sub or Chinese food joint that you always order from - give this place a call... order the Mango Chicken, Veggie Samosas, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Naan and Aloo Paratha.... yea, yea it's a lot of food.... but, trust me - it's worth it. There's not enough parking and the real townie from down the street might tell you his life story - but, who cares, you and your belly will be minutes away from spicy bliss. read more

Wow just wow. The food was great, the staff was so kind, the drinks were fabulous. overall it was a great experience.

Let me start by saying that we live in Beverly, so this is an easy go-to. Almost too easy, and for that reason we ventured ALL THE WAY into Salem to try "Passage to India" a few months ago, to see if it was any better. (As much as I dread going into Salem and trying to find a place to park, we were feeling ambitious.) Passage to India was nothing special. It felt generic and cold on the inside. We were kind of kicking ourself for not just visiting Anmol in the first place. We won't make that mistake again. I'm a pretty traditional Indian food eater... always some sort of a curry, usually ordering a Chicken Vindaloo (spicy!) and a chicken tikka masala (creamy heavenly deliciousness) and soak my naan in the sauce. I wish there was a little bit more sauce and that they had brought two containers of rice for our two entrees, but I guess thats just me being greedy and hungry. I also recommend ordering a side dish of the raita. (The cool yogurt-cucumber condiment/side dish.) I usually drizzle this all over my indian food and it provides a nice contrast. (I have no idea if this is the way real Indians use this side dish, but if it works for me and makes me happy, I will keep on doing it!). My fiancé is in love with the peshawara naan (coconut and nut filled overly sweet and rich naan). I usually opt for a garlic naan or just plan. The condiments and crackers at the beginning are EXTREMELY generous in portion size, and very flavorful. My favorites are the "red one" and the "green one". No clue what their real names are but they are damn good. The only problem with this place is that I leave feeling stuffed. That's it. And it does have sort of a dive bar ambience, so I go there when I'm in the mood to pig out with no judgment. The bartender woman who waits on us is extremely friendly, hard-working and a hustler. Kudos to her for wiping up all the spilled sauces/rice crumbs, etc. before handing us the bill. That attention to detail does not go unnoticed. read more

I'm a huge fan of Anmol. I've been coming here since I moved to Beverly in 2006 and I've never had a bad meal. And while I have nothing bad to say about Passage to India, I prefer Anmol because it is more homestyle rather than trendy/fancy. My favorites are the Chicken Makhani, Lamb Kebab, Lamb Do Piaza, and Peshawari Naan. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable (especially lunch, which comes with dessert), and the service is efficient, somewhat formal (the service at the bar, thankfully, is not so formal), but friendly. They also deliver. The restaurant is is very quiet and clean, but a bit dark and dated. Although I'd love to see this place remodeled, I assume that a remodel would also mean a hike in price - which would bother me way more than dated decor. (Heck, who am I to complain? If you could only see my house....but that's another story). Bottom line - I am a huge fan of Anmol. I would be very excited to see any new/rotating menu items (maybe new appetizers?), as I think the chef does an amazing job at the existing menu. read more

I went for a lunch at this place. It was amazingly tasty food. I ordered onion pakoda, bhindi masala, paneer makhani and nan. All of these were exceptionally tasty. What further adds to 5 star review here, is the fact that their service is perfect. I have seen that at some places even if the food is amazing, the service is not and you don't end up feeling good about it overall. Here, they treat you royal, serve you the best food and we also got a complimentary kheer at the end! Thank you for a real service @anmol staff :) read more

I almost want to dock a star for the zombie waiters, but I've been here so often that I've come to actually view them as endearing. This is absolutely the most rich, satisfying, mouth-watering Indian food that I've ever eaten - and I consider myself a bit of an Indian-food connoisseur. Their kitchen must conceal some secret magic. The smells, the textures, the colors, the presentation, and most importantly, the tastes - all create one of the best culinary expeditions you can ever embark on. The low lunch prices almost feel like a sin. Every bite is an experience to die for - the flavors merge and compliment each other perfectly. Do yourself a favor, order their vegetable korma (or any item on the menu). Do it now - life is too short to live without the tastes of Anmol. You will not be disappointed. read more

I've been here several times with my husband and it never disappoints. I always get either a lamb or chicken curry and it's absolute perfection. Beautiful flavors and great portions. The naan bread is always delicious and I'm partial to the vegetable samosas. I also get the Tandoori mixed grill often, which showcases great flavors of the tandoori grill with some tikka masala sauce on the side. This place is perfect for people that get to-go meals all the time if you're constantly on the run. I'm never disappointed. read more
