I have no idea what they are doing with it but it's hot (spicy) and absolutely full of flavor. It is so good.... I crave it all the time and it is a delight when I get to order it. I love potatoes and the spicy pickle, and they have married these both in a dish that is beyond description. This restaurant has mastered the art of spice. The food is so good... even something so simple as papadum they make excellent. Dedham is very lucky to have them!!!

Best Indian restaurant we have found in MetroSouth. First off the staff was super welcoming and…read morenice when we arrived. We asked a number of questions, and they took their time with each one. We have been trying to find a decent Indian Restaurant after Coriander changed ownership, and it has been a very disappointing journey, until now. We started with the Allo Tikki Chat, and Coconut Shrimp. Both were well done, The Coconut shrimp was not overly sweet as it is in so many restaurants. We then had Palak Paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Vindaloo, Butter Chicken, with Cheese Garlic Naan. We also had 2 Mango Lassi's and 1 Masala Chai. When trying an indian restaurant you have to order Chicken Tikka Masala to see how they do it. It was well done and the flavor was just right, salty enough, not too sweet, and tasted the smokiness of the chicken. The Lamb VIndaloo had rich flavor, we asked for a medium and could feel it. The butter chicken had a nice rich flavor. The Garlic Naan tasted fresh and crispy. The only dish I felt was not perfect was the Palak Paneer. Sometimes people overblend the Spinach, and it had gotten to the point where it felt more of a smoothie. The Mango Lassis were also well done, not too sweet and you could taste the mango and the cooling yogurt. The Masala Chai was also full of flavor and not overly sweet. We will definitely be going back.

I tried the new Needham restaurant Monsoon kitchen today, and it did not disappoint. It's in the…read morestrip mall next to sweet tomatoes pizza and dragon chef. They've been around since January and I talked to Harry, who was a friendly employee working the front of the store, who helped me pick my lunch, as I'm pretty new to Indian cuisine. I got the lamb masala lunch special and it was tasty and flavorful. They came with 3 complimentary sauces, tamarind and a chutney and 1 more I'm not sure of. The portion of meat was on the small side but very tasty. My one issue was I asked for medium spice; it was extremely fire hot spicy and I'm a pro. I can't imagine what that next level up tastes like but I'm scared. Be wary that most people should start on the lowest spice level. I also got the Paneer Naan and veggie Korma. The store was small and had a waiting area with a few chairs, a kiosk to order and a bar style table to eat in if you're solo or a party of 2, but it's clearly intended as a takeout restaurant. Prices were moderate and on par for Needham. I will definitely be back and I'm looking forward to trying more menu items, especially the Biryani.

My friend and I ordered lunch from here. We drove there, placed our order, and waited inside the…read morerestaurant until it was done which was about 15 minutes. The menu is huge, which is good in that there is something for everyone, but it is also very overwhelming. We were hoping they would have a physical menu in store, but they handed us an iPad to look through the menu. Luckily it is divided by meat and non-meat dishes, rice, bread, etc., which makes it a little easier to browse. We ordered one of the goat curries, samosas, and garlic naan. The goat came in a 6 inch plastic container and though it looked small, it brings a lot of food - enough for 2. The goat was very tender, with lots of flavor, and not too spicy (you can request your preferred spice level). The samosa order came with 3 and they were good - crispy on the owtside and packed with soft filling on the inside. The naan was also good. I believe it was around $35-$40 for the order, which after considering portion size and quality, we found it to be fair. The inside is very spacious with lots of booths. There are lots of Indian historical figures drawn on the walls. There is also plenty of parking since it is in a plaza. The staff was kind and helpful.

The samosa chat as appetizer, Chole batture plate and Vegetable Hakka noodles were good and would recommend. The noodles were tossed in chilli oil and spices so was a bit hot, but tasty. The service is prompt and we got all our food within 15mins of placing the order. There was no follow up by our server though, either for asking if needed anything else or for clearing the used plates off the table. All food is served in some kind of plastic (not ceramic) plates and they have disposable plastic glasses for water which lowered the overall experience a bit. The ambiance is casual and the restaurant has plenty of indoor seating space and ample on-site parking.
