How can this place be rated 5 stars. Look at the pics, 3 orders in one container squished versus two orders in separate containers. Barely any sauce, look at the picture. You'll see a huge difference between the two. Not coming back. Try Momo N' Curry in Somerville. It's not fine dining but it'll be worth every penny you spend. Only a 10 more min longer drive. P.s. Naan bread costs extra read more

Great food, atmosphere, and service. I've ordered out from them and eaten on their nice patio. The momos are delicious and I love their curries and their chili stir fry. I've tasted many other dishes and none of them disappoint! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I'll have to keep trying everything! read more

We went there for a birthday celebration. The staff was friendly and the food was amazingly good! Probably the best Indian food we've had in the Boston area. We will return soon! read more

The food here is consistently excellent. My go to is the Chicken Mushroom Chili, extra spicy. They have a 10 point spice scale, which is very helpful since my wife enjoys her food more mild. They are also flexible with the order, allowing me to substitute extra vegetables instead of rice. Lastly, as an appetizer, I highly recommend their Momos, Nepalese dumplings. So good! read more

Great food, great service. The atmosphere is calm and it feels very welcoming. The mango lassi was top notch!

Absolutely delicious food with excellent service and a cozy ambience. The tofu curry (spiciness 6) was one of the best things I've ever had, and the spinach and paneer momos were great too. Lots of vegetarian options, as well as vegan ones. For the carnivores, my dad loved the lamb chili (also spiciness 6). Looking forward to returning! Note: Spiciness level 6 chili got my spice-loving dad sweating, but I found the level 6 curry to be the sweet spot (by sweet I of course mean great flavor and tingling lips without actual pain or burning). read more

Food was delicious, and service was fantastic. This was my first time there, and we loved the saag paneer momos, palak paneer, garlic naan, mango lassi, and the Channa chhoila and the kale. I can't wait to come again. read more

OMG the food was amazing. My wife and I both had the Tiki Masala and then we also ordered some of the chicken Mo Mo's. I went with a 5 out of 10 on the spicy scale and it was perfect for me. My wife went with a 2 and said that she could have gone spicier. This place is not fancy but the food is fantastic. I cant wait to go back and try some other dishes. read more

We ordered take out from Base Crave recently and loved it. Excellent menu, very flavorful and nuanced in flavor and spicing. It was really nice to find a solid Himalyan/Nepalese fusion spot in the Boston area. Only caveat is it can be a bit pricey for take-out (both in terms of the pricing of each plate and mandatory 20% service fee for take-out), so something to keep in mind if you're debating take-out versus dining experience. Momo - We got paneer and spinach and also the wild boar momo. Both were so flavorful and fresh. Highly recommend the momo here. Sweet Potato Chhoila - Thank you, fellow Yelp reviewers, for recommending this - it was so tasty. Loved the tangy lime flavor, cumin, mustard oil and chilis. Definitely ordering this again. Gundruk Soup - This was delicious, and exciting to find a very tasty, satiating soup that doesn't have fish sauce or a meat stock (not a vegetarian/vegan, but often notice the best soups often have fish or meat in them for the stock). It did seem a bit more oily than expected. Eggplant Basil Paneer - Ordered this from another Yelper rec. This was so tasty and was not too oily (as sometimes it can seem eggplant absorbs way too much oil). Goat Mushroom curry - this was very tasty as well. read more

Definitely some review manipulation going on here, this place is not a 4+ star place. Food was a 3 (chicken was mid, naan seemed store bought, rice was dry and crumbly), service a 2, ambience a 3. And way too expensive for what is offered. One of the few times Yelp has led me astray. read more

Didn't know much going in, but the food is fantastic! Loved the lamb and mushroom chili. So flavorful. I never leave reviews, but this place was excellent. read more

I absolutely loved Base Crave. The drive was a little over an hour, after I previously sent my daughter here when she was traveling to meet a client. Worth noting, it was a scenic drive and Huron Avenue has some great shops. First, the restaurant took all COVID precautions, and the meal did not disappoint. We had vegetarian Mo Mo, Gundruk soup, and Eggplant Basil Paneer. To say that the paneer is the best I have ever had is an understatement. The soup, unique and delicious - I want to learn how to make it, or version of it. If I lived in the area, this place would be my go to at least twice a week. Can't wait until next trip to Cambridge to visit this gem. read more

Best chicken momo I ever tried! All good here is really delicious, I love to order from the best crave. Lentils soup is really good as well and garlic naan is also great! Highly recommend!!! read more

Delicious, healthy and interesting cuisine! We did take out and it was awesome. We will be back. read more

We order food from here roughly once a week. Love the Momo dumplings, tika masala, and naan. The outdoor seating is great, as has been the service when we've eaten in, though since we live a block we are most familiar with take out. Staff are very respectful of those who are on the more careful spectrum of masking for COVID. They are also accommodating of those bringing well-behaved pets for outdoor seating. The online order system will typically report a 30 minute wait when the typical turn-around is 12-15 minutes. read more

Nice little eatery. Good food/good service. We were looking for a gluten free lunch menu and they had great choices Can get noisy

Great food. Amazing absolutely delicious curry. The taste is not too strong nicely balanced. The portion is perfect for me. Best Nepal curry I ever had. Mango lassie is also delicious. read more

The service was good, the ambiance was good and the food was amazing. Our water was very nice and attentive. The ambiance was very good and the vibe was good. There was music playing in the background and the seats were very comfortable. The spices were on point and the spice level was very accurate. Me and my family ordered a vegetable mo mom, gundruk, chicken mushroom chili, tufo curry and shrimp bhuteko and naan. Everything was amazing and I felt good after eating the meal and did not feel bloated or uncomfortable full. I felt as if i just god a home made meal cooked for me. Overall i would highly recommend read more

Monday, Jan 6, we had a delightful dinner at The Melting Pot, the new restaurant in the former Full Moon space. The interior has been tastefully redecorated, and there are new tables and (very comfortable!) chairs, The menu is Nepali, which is similar to Indian -- we had Dhal Soup, Spinach & Cheese Mou-Mous (dumplings), and Chicken and Mushroom Curry. Everything was delicious. They are in the midst of their "soft opening" -- they are currently unable to take credit cards, so bring cash (or a check). read more

Amazing, amazing, amazing little gem hiding on a random street. Have the goat special - it's SO delicate and rich. And the chicken momos. I will certainly come back. Not really sure about the "all the cuisines of the world" deal, it definitely skews heavily toward a Nepalese & Indianfeel. read more

While the momos drew me to this place, I must mention that i was left impressed with everything we ordered. The paneer curry was very fresh and you could tell it was prepared from scratch and with fresh spices. The gundruk soup was the highlight - had never tried it before and was left yearning for more. And lastly, the momos lived up to the hype. Special shoutout to the owner for including non-gmo, organic ingredients where needed. It isn't often that you see restaurants pay such granular attention to those aspects, but Base Crave has it covered. read more

Pretty solid restaurant! We got the goat & mushroom curry and the wild boar momos, which were good and didn't taste that different than pork! Naan was good too. My only complaint is price vs size. A standard curry entrée is around 23 dollars, and the side of naan was $5. Just a little pricy compared to size, so I wouldn't bring kids here. read more

This was a welcome surprise ! Nepalese food using fresh ingredients and lots of vegetables. We ordered the chicken mushroom curry-delicious. Lighter and more chunky and tomato-y and less soupy than traditional Indian curry. The Moh Moh dumplings were pillowy and delicious. We ordered the saag paneer ones. Wine, beer and cider. Great service. We'll be back! Tip: food can be ordered 1-10 on spicy scale. We both love spice, ordered 3 and it was plenty spicy and hot without being overpowering or detracting from the delicious flavors. read more

It's not Chinese, and it's not Indian. The website calls the cuisine "fusion;" I call it wonderful. Our two appetizers were delicious. The Chicken Mo Mos looked like the familiar Chinese steamed buns, but they tasted quite differently. Eight to a serving, they were two bites of juicy ground meat and herbs encased in a chewy noodle wrapping. Chilis offset the Sweet Potato Chhoila, and a side of crunchy, puffed rice contrasted with the potatoes' soft texture. The waiter asked our chili preference 1-10. We chose 6 for all dishes, which delivered pleasantly spicy dishes. For main courses, we ordered curried Eggplant Basil Paneer, and stir-fry Lamb and Mushroom Chili. Both dishes were cooked with red and green bell peppers and chilis. We loved the rich mango lassi -it's the perfect antidote to the spices- and the buttered naan. Beer and wine are also available. The waiter was attentive throughout the meal, and, after he cleared the dishes, he brought out, with great ceremony, a cake lit with a candle that I had brought to mark my companion's birthday. I hope that someone will invite me to Base Crave to celebrate my birthday. read more

Had a delicious lunch at Base Crave of chicken mo mo, green bean bites and the duck ginger basil entree. The meal was so great that we were already planning our next visit and what new dishes we are looking forward to trying. The flavors are plentiful and you leave feeling nourished and light. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Everything is so delicious. Fresh, well prepared. Will order again. So good! This was a massive catering order so I was really impressed by the quality. read more

Food was excellent. Service was pleasant and fast. We got veggie momos to start and they were lighter and less greasy than other versions we've tried. We devoured them in no time. I bet they'd be good for takeout as well. For an entree I had the wild boar ribs which came over basmati rice and a ton of fresh veggies. I went with spice level 6/10. I probably could've gone spicier, but it still had a nice heat to it. My fiancé ordered a shrimp curry and thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well. Portions were good and everything was very fresh. The garlic naan on the side was hard to stop eating! I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back. read more

Very high quality delicious food. You get what you pay for! The price is higher but the food is really beautifully made and the ingredients are high quality. read more

i can't say enough bad things about this tiny place. service was ok though i only saw the waiter three times- when i sat down, when i complained and when he brought the bill. The food is a fusion i think but not very good and wayyyy too spicy. I love spicy food but not when it's weird off putting and cold. I will never 'eat' there again - tried to send it back and it went back with a rather sour look from the server. I was never offered a replacement, a fix or a refund. I was in a party of 5 and no one enjoyed their food even after they figured out what it was they ordered. The pairing were so strange we weren't sure we actually recvd what we ordered. Couldn't really tell what was in the food and everything was off putting. I was the only one with the temerity to send my plate back but after the waiter just picked up the plate and left and never returned everyone else just wanted to leave whether they ate or not. I've never had a server take the food so seriously that they take it personal. i know he didn't cook it. Seriously EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE. I have no idea how this place stays open. read more

Loved the tikka masala momos. Goat chili was quite good and stir fry noodles were decent. Sweet potato choila missed the mark. Overall a good option for takeout; would get it again. read more

Delicious Nepalese fare served super fresh and hot right off the grill. We had spinach Mo-mos, crispy hot green bean bites, a complexly spiced shiitake chile, grilled shrimp with stirfried veggies still perfectly crunchy, and a lamb curry. All delicious, spicy without overpowering the intriguing mix of spices. Don't miss the tamarind drink with fresh ginger! My only regret: we were too full for dessert! Wonderful service with smiles and good advice. Highly recommend. read more

Base Crave is a hidden gem, tucked away in the Huron Village. Everything I've ever had there has been delicous. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars as it has Huron Villages prices, read: expensive for the portion size. That said, I highly recommend you try it sometime. read more

Still in discovery mode of the place but I would say a little gem in Cambridge. Food is excellent ( 3 visits) so far and service perfect. My only advice for owner, some portions size are little too small read more

Been there like 8 times in that many months.... Great taste and closest to home cooked that ai have ever gotten for south asian food in the Boston area read more

We approached this restaurant on short notice to do a buffet lunch following a memorial service. It was a big ask of a small business. They were honest with us about the limitations and problem-solved with us. The buffet was delicious, & there was plenty of food even though we increased the number of people at the last minute. They were kind and skilled hosts. In addition to being good cooks. The desserts especially got rave reviews. We strongly recommend supporting this business, and trying their fusion food! read more

Amazing food! Great ambiance and tasted fresh. It was my first time having Nepali food and it was lovely. Will definitely be back.

Delicious, fast, satisfying! I tried the tofu curry and spinach paneer momo (takeout). Both were amazing. I can't wait to try this place again and perhaps check out their outdoor patio! read more
