    Chicken Curry Meal
    Jeff M.

    Terrible. RIP off. Rude. I don't know what happened to this place recently but it's not the establishment I used to love and go to weekly. $12.99 for 3 pieces of chicken is simply outrageous. You gotta trust me , I never return food anywhere. But this was so outrageous I had to return my lunch. When doing so staff claimed there was 5 pieces and then tried to refuse giving me a printed refund receipt. And they just left the plate on the counter. I bet the try to resell See the pics and judge for yourself.

    Dumplings

    Food: Haven't been to THIS location, but having gone to Northeastern, the Chutney's location there was DELICIOUS. Every food item that I've tried from there was amazing - dumplings, pizza, rice dishes, all incredible, no complaints at all. It is hearty, filling, warm food, good for all occasions but it is heavy. However it's worth it - portions are sufficient for what you pay for. I'd definitely come back to the Harvard Square location as I was so so sad when the Chutney's near Northeastern's campus closed... literally one of my favorite hidden gems. Location: LOVE Harvard Square - on a nice day, I'd recommend getting some Chutney's and eating it outdoors. So many good restaurants, such a cute area and def lots of outdoor seating. I love Harvard Sq in the Fall/Summer as well, there are usually fairy lights up which makes it so cute.

    Plain Naan
    Areeba Z.

    I had heard a lot of great things about Chutneys and decided to order takeout using Yelp delivery. I ordered samosa chaat, chicken tikka masala with plain naan and chicken 65. The plain naan add on was $1.99 and a disappointment as you can see it's a small regular naan. The chicken tikka masala meal does not come with a desert (read the fine text!). I asked for extra spicy and the restaurant delivered. Taking one star off because the chaat was more a Chana masala with sev instead of real chaat. It also came hot off the stove. It tasted good, it just wasn't a samosa chaat. It also lacked yogurt and chutneys.

    Chicken Tikka Masala Meal
    Wes S.

    Feels like a food court place. Not much for customer service. They want you to do everything on your phone. Menu, ordering, to go needs etc. Chicken Tikka Masala Meal--if you look at the picture, it looks like the rice is in the main entree section, taking up the most space. A smaller portion of Tikka Masala then I'd hope for. The "salad" was a few cuts of lettuce from a bag, like a pinch, and a single onion piece. Nothing else. No dressing, no veggies. Just bagged lettuce salad pieces. Not worth the twenty minute wait at the empty restaurant. Trader Joe's frozen tikka is muuuuuch better. This meal was on par with frozen tikka you can get at stop & shop maybe...

    Samosa
    Marvin B.

    We ordered samosas from Chutney's as a snack today, and it was delicious! The inside was seasoned perfectly and not too salty and the outside had a nice crisp on the outside. I was also really happy that it was vegan! I didn't care too much for the mint sauce, but the best part was definitely the tamarind sauce. It was so delicious, and the sweetness balanced the savory flavor of the samosa really well. Definitely will be returning for the samosas!

    Samosa chat
    Ramya S.

    For a fast food joint, the food they provide is not bad. Prices are reasonable with good food portions. However they can improve on the taste and quality. Chutneys paneer wrap- the wrap is huge and the staff are generous with the fillings, you can select what goes into the wrap-rice, veggies and sauce. Samosa chat- it was very disappointing. It tasted like frozen samosas were reheated. The plate was hot, but the content inside was close to warm. And it's the first time I have seen Rajma beans added to the chat, which is very strange. Vegetable Momo platter-this was the only dish which we really liked. It was fresh, hot and spicy. Masala chai - decent taste, but the staff took initiative to warm and make it extra hot. We appreciate it! Overall, pretty decent food. But the staff are courteous. We are happy with the service they provided!

    Came here to grab a quick bite as I had a craving for Indo Chinese. I have had food from here and it is maybe a 2.5/5. But when I arrived yestersay 01-20-2022 at around 9:45pm the dude there saw us and switched off the lights. Then he came out and was repeatedly kept saying : WE ARE CLOSED in a rude tone. When I told him that please update your business hours as it says you are open till 10pm he just responded again in a rude tone that WE ARE CLOSED AND THE TIMING IN WRONG ON THE WEBSITE Here are screenshots of business hours I looked up before going there and it clearly states that it was updated 3 days ago by the store.

    Chutneys in Cambridge gives the best and closest feel when it comes to Indian chinese food. They have been maintaining the quality of their products since years to follow. I've been ordering and dining in with them for almost 2 years now and never has it been a case when the food was disappointing. Great staff, excellent delivery preparation and delivery time.

    $1.50 samosa
    Justina T.

    I arrive here at 11:40am and order a samosa. Guy cashier is not pleased with my $1.50+tax purchase but whatever (I paid with cash, so what's there to be annoyed about?). He says I'll have to wait 5-6 minutes for the samosa to be done/made. I wait for 10 minutes. He doesn't call me over or anything, so I get up to inquire about my food. The guy says nothing but opens the oven and retrieves the samosa for me. He boxes it with the sauce and hands it over with a half-hearted, "Thanks... (for nothing)" The service is subpar. The samosa is very small. The taste is decent, though. Good blend of spices and seasoning. Slightly crispy exterior with a warm potato filling.

    Chicken Curry, Garlic Cilantro Naan
    Teddy H.

    Phenomenal! The previous reviews were not great so I was a bit hesitant, but perhaps they are older. I went to the Harvard sq location this november and it was great. Delicious and fair priced. The garlic naan was excellent.

    Quality has been going down of late, but it's still a tasty meal. I recommend the biryani bowl, although they don't advertise it any more.

    I stopped by for lunch right after opening and was the first customer of the day. I got the lunch…read morecombo with the mulligatawny soup and chana masala with rice. Not only was my meal absolutely delicious, but it came out quickly and the overall service was excellent. Plus, the lunch deal is quite affordable. While the building its located in is a bit odd, the ambiance of the restaurant itself is very nice. It has a great view and was spacious and clean. I would definitely visit again. I appreciated the plentiful vegan options and clearly labeled menu, too.

    Came here in a Saturday evening at 6 with a dinner reservation for 4. We had booked it a few hours…read moreearlier, so it may have been unnecessary. 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.

The lamb was pretty dry, and one of their most expensive dishes. A big disappointment. It looks a lot better in the pictures than it actually was. I would definitely not recommend. Maybe just go for a basic curry dish instead. Service was not good. Not friendly either. They weren't at all busy and just non-attentive. I had to ask several times for water refills. The waiter walked by my table several times, clearly saw my empty glass, yet never once offered a refill. And it was a crazy hot day too.
