    Shahi Paneer MoMo
    Divyashree R.

    It's a small place. Good for take out. The front desk was helpful. The food was good but not very great. But can stop by for a quick momo craving in the area.

    Paneer Tikka Masala & Navaratan Korma

    Naan, fries & Noodles were great, but did not enjoy any of the curries or momos. Very nicely maintained and very friendly , kind staff.

    Spicy Peppered Tenders, Carrot Cake, Chicken Tikka Masala

    LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE their tikka masala hands down best chicken tikka masala i've ever had it's a sweet creamy savory meal. perfect amount of sauce to put on ur rice. Perfect hangover cure in the morning too. Their carrot cake is nice and moist and on the denser side. The icing is more of a cream cheese base. NOOO THERES RAISINS IN THE CARROT CAKE UGH. Still good but ugh disappointment. The pepper chicken was seasoned well and the onion and green peppers add that extra taste.

    I don't understand why food shines does not immediately come up as Lowell's best hidden gem. Come in get the MOMO dumplings and enjoy what has to be one of the most addictive and flavor packed dishes this town has to offer. My personal favorite is the Tikkka Masala Mo Mo with a side of garlic naan bread, all absolutely delicious and fresh.

    Loved the momos! Great, very friendly atmosphere. Delicious and fresh food. Great garlic knots( more like garlic bread) but very delicious! Spicy, but not too spicy. Loved it!

    10 cubes of chicken. Ten. Its like 3 ounces of chicken.

    Food is DELICIOUS but oh my god the portion size is small. Chicken Tikka Masada was $18 and it was 10 cubes of chicken, like three ounces of meat total, and the rest of the container was just sauce. See pictures below.

    Shiv Shakti Chaat & Paan Adda is a casual Indian eatery and bakery located next to Veggie Crust in…read moreLowell, former Atul Bakery/Honey Dew Donuts space. They offer a selection of Indian street foods, sandwiches, chaats, paan, pizza, cakes, desserts, lassis, cold drinks, and Indian snacks on the shelves. They also offer live Pani Puri service. The place is order & pay at the counter and there is table seating inside. I stopped by Shiv Shakti recently for carryout. I was going order a samosa chaat, but then I saw other customers (dine-in) enjoying live Pani Puri, which a staff member was freshly preparing those bite size spicy apps in the dining area. I decided to order Pani Puri (10 for $9.99 plus tax), but instead got the ingredients to go, so I could enjoy the DIY version at home. The ingredients were packaged and bagged up, including 10 crispy fried balls (shells), curry potato filling mixture, tamarind, & spicy flavored water. When I got home, I began making my own pani puri one-by-one, filling each bite size crispy ball with the filling and adding the tamarind & flavored water and eating each savory spicy pani puri in one bite. I finished all 10 pani puris in about 10 minutes, but it was a bit messy to eat. I had some extra filling, water & tamarind left over, which I ended up using as a dip for the tortilla chips I already had on hand. I will come back again for a sandwich and a chaat.

    Went in looking for buffet so we can taste a little bit of everything. But they only have buffet…read moreSaturday and sundays. So we just ordered the lunch menu and ordered a mini buffet for ourselves. Ordered the onion pakora as an appetizer. For some reason I thought it was going to come with some sort of sauce. So it was a little dry. I just ended up dipping it in the malai kofta for more flavor. We ordered 1 veggie, 1 chicken, and 1 lamb lunch combo. Which it came with white rice, soup, and naan or a roti. The veggie option was the malai kofta. (I liked this one the best, bc it was sweet) . It's vegetable cheese dumplings in a cashew sauce. the chicken option was the priya chicken special. (Second best) This was good. It was saucy. and then we got the lamb masala. This one was more on the tomato-sour side. I like more of a creamy sauces. These dishes weren't as spicy. It was just a hint of it. Waiters were really nice and informative about the menu.

The Saag Paneer was also very good and the best part was the paneer pieces were so soft, it is hard to find at most restaurants. Aloo Paratha was meh, the filling was scant and not flavorful The Chili Gobi dry was so flavorful, but they had made it extra extra spicy (I had asked for mild) and I just couldn't eat it much. The goat pepper fry was a big disappointment- the flavors were fine but the goat pieces were terrible. Overall a decent meal.

    Okay... this place is great! It's like a homemade version of crown fried chicken. The owner runs…read morethe whole place. He's all alone and literally makes everything himself. Props to him! That's a heavy load to take on and he does a great job at it. Everything is super cheap here and taste great. If you're a student at Middlesex Community college like me. Let's face it, theres days when we're broke and need a place to grab a cheap quick lunch. This is definitely the spot. Pizza rolls: I love these things. He made them perfectly and you can tell he hand rolls them himself. And they're only a $1!! Double cheeseburger: BOMB! I'm so picky with burgers. I don't give a shit if it's messy looking, lets be real. If it tastes good, it's serving it's purpose. I'm super picky and customized it as I liked and he accommodated it. Thank you! Not many places do! Fries: perfectly crunchy. Not soft and soggy like most places. Maybe a little less seasoning. I know not a lot of people like spicy foods. But I enjoy it. Chicken Kabob Plate: my boyfriend and I split this because of how big it was. We ordered it with extra rice instead of the usual side of salad it comes with. The owner offered us either Indian or Spanish rice. We went with the Spanish and it tasted great, it even had vegetables in it. The chicken was nice and juicy with grilled peppers and onions. The rice and chicken had a nice kick to it. Not too spicy and just flavor. Chicken and Fries (not pictured): My boyfriend devoured this. The chicken is definitely not anything like crown fried or Jacqueline's chicken. The owner literally uses his own recipe. My boyfriend loved it and the chicken looked really fresh and juicy. He swallowed the thing before I even got a chance to take a picture of it lol. Please go visit guys! This little place has so much potential. It might seem a little stand off it by the looks of it but it's worth going in and trying it out The owner is so sweet, he even offered my boyfriend a free banana milkshake while he waited for the food to be done. Thanks Jimmy! Try it out! You won't regret it !
