After being in Boston for 5 years, this was hands down the worst dining experience I've ever had…read more The service was awful. My family and I waited over 50 minutes for our food. We watched over 20 online orders get sent out of the kitchen, and the waiters never came to our table to check on us. When complaining to the owner/manager, he expressed his apologies and mentioned that they were understaffed. This is no excuse for shitty service. If you are understaffed, why are you still taking so many online orders? Focus on your dine-in tables for the night! When the food did come, it was SO SO average -- something I didn't need to come all the way to Union Square for. Definitely not worth the wait. TL;DR - I will never be returning here, and will never, ever recommend.

I…read moreappreciate it the heads up by the staff member that one of my dishes would take 20 to 25 minutes versus 10 to 15 minutes depending on how I got it cooked. I went with the chicken momos tandoori style medium (fastest type) and it was beautifully seasoned, the spicy sauce added a nice kick, but not overwhelming. The mulligatawny soup was excellent appetizer, filled with curried spices and easy to drink. This could even be a main dish if you add rice. If you like daal, and are looking for something different, I recommend this lentil soup! There's a lot of sunlight and multiple tables of 4 at the restaurant for dine in. I'm not ready to crown this place as the best Indian food in Cambridge, but I will definitely be back to make that determination!

I think there is a lot left to be desired here. I had a party of 7 with a reservation, but they…read morecould not seat us until 15 minutes after our reservation time. This is due partly to another party ahead of us not leaving promptly, but I think the restaurant could have been ready ahead of us as well. I will admit that I enjoyed the ambiance - it had nice low lighting with contemporary decor which made a nice dinner spot. The service in terms of both the waiters and kitchen did not feel timely either. It took a while for drinks to arrive and there were barely any water refills in general. We ordered four different dishes on our side of the table and they were somewhat bland. The vegetable momos definitely need some kind of sauce since they were lacking in flavor. We also got a curry chicken thigh, beef noodles, and butter tofu. I think only the beef noodles had a good enough flavor profile and kick to them. I was also surprised that the portion sizes weren't close to what you would expect for the price. I think with so many good south Asian spots in the area, it's hard to recommend Martsa. I might consider coming back if I learn that there is a particular dish that I am missing out on.

Another strong showing from Chulo. The daal tadka was a nice contrast with the richness of some of…read morethe other dishes, with lentils and curry leaf adding a nice clearer flavor to the dish. 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!!!

Didn't have a ton to eat here, but everything I had was delicious. Service was attentive, warm, and…read morefriendly, which added to the great experience. The restaurant was comfy; there was an electric fireplace on the wall which made the room feel homey. We got fried pork momos, which were delicious and juicy. I was interested in trying the C-style, but we had a non-spice eater at the table. I got the pork chili from the appetizer menu and garlic naan for my meal, and my companions got the chow mein and sekuwa. The chow mein looked standard and sekewa was grilled chicken served with puffed rice (looked like rice krispies). Everyone was happy with their meals, but I especially loved mine. There were slices of pork belly in a flavorful sauce with tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers. Note that the pork belly still has the skin on it (which I personally love). My only complaint was at medium, the food seemed mild, but I'll be clearer of my spice preferences next time. I would definitely come back specifically for the pork chili!

Decent South Asian and Nepalese place with surprisingly a karaoke night!…read more The bara is a fried pancake of sorts, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The dipping sauce was good as well, possibly a mint-like flavor. The pork momos were really good too, with nice crimping on the skin and decent fillings inside. The chicken vindaloo was decent, though I might have liked more specificity to the flavoring of the vindaloo. The potatoes were nicely textured. The chicken bites were a bit large, they could have been chopped up a bit. The gorkhali khasi (a goat curry) was fairly decent with tender nice pieces. The flavoring was oversalted and again could have used a tad more definition. The bone-in aspect was appreciated as it held the flavor of the meat. The bhindi masala (okra) was fairly successful with a solid infusion of flavor into the okra. The dish was overall too oily though and some steps need to be taken to minimize the oil. All in all quite enjoyable!

This is like a store front locale, so the ambiance is pretty much what you make of it. Small inside but, it has some tables to eat inside, and we did just that. We waited a bit because they were busy, but the wait was worth it. If you are in the area and feel like eating comfort food and get it quickly, don't hesitate to stop by. You won't be disappointed.

Overall, I was not impressed, and somewhat disappointed. I got the Pav Bhaji and the Masala Dosa to go. Both were sub par -- pretty below average even for the US. (I am from Bombay so I know what Pav Bhaji should taste and feel like.) The PB was in a plastic container and was a dry mash. Typically, it should be wet and flavorful with a lot of butter. The dosa had so little "masala/potatoes" that I thought they had forgotten to add it. (We searched and almost called them until we realized that it actually had a small smear of it inside. The sambar was OK and the chutney was delicious. I think the place is based on a very creative idea, but is failing in its execution. Lot of potential -- someone please take over!

All the flavors were good, and being that it was our first time there I might have ordered too much food to try - Eyes bigger than stomach mentality! The Curry Shrimp was insane delicious, the Tikka Masala was good, Medium spice is slightly spicy for those that dont love it, just a heads up! I can deal most often times but this night my mouth was doing its own thing & my lips were on fire, LOL But still ate the whole thing because the flavor was spot on and I was just unable to stop shoveling it into my mouth. Ordered 2 pieces of Naan and wish I got 100, Its such a simple item but OMG I could eat it all night, its like potato chips, LOL I went deep fried momo and might want to try steamed next time, we will see... They were good, but I didnt love them, Just way too greasy for me but that might just have been because of the extreme delay in delivery they sat in that grease!!!

It took a bit longer for the matar paneer to come out, not that we particularly noticed because we were still eating all of our other food. They did give us two mango lassis on the house, which was so kind! I will be back!!!
