    Main entrance - Hurry chutney --- honest Indian restaurant
    Ashish J.

    Love the passion the new owner has for the indian food and serving customers. We ordered carryout of Chole Bhutra (Chick peas and ~deep fried leavened bread) and yelow lentils. Yelow lentils tasted great and Chole Bhutra was not bad though chickpeas felt not very fresh. Leftover lentils in the fridge solidfied bit more than usual indicating that gravy perhaps had a lot of hyrdrogenated fat. Better off asking what are the ingredients if you are controlloing what you eat too closley.

    Great casual dining place to get your Indian fix. You order at the counter and they bring out your food. Owners were super friendly! Pretty busy place, a lot of people were ordering take out and coming in for pick up. Food: Bhaji Pav was excellent. Paneer tikka masala was on the creamier side and the daal was rich in favors as well. We would definitely come back again and try more items (I heard the pizza was tasty)!

    Bhaji Pav

    All of us from my parents to my little one had such a wonderful time. From Appetizer's to Entree everything was PERFECT & DELICIOUS The entire staff was so friendly & the ETA was so quick !!! Ambiance was squeaky clean and had such great vibes....Definitely recommend this place, over and over again!!! More power to the team !!!

    Very satisfied customers!

    My brother and I were craving Indian food and just put a search on Yelp for the closest restaurant to where we were. We had no expectations and boy oh boy this place exceeded even the best expectation I possibly could've had. I am not a vegetarian and although all of the food here is vegetarian we left completely satisfied. We sat with the owner who was wonderful. She was so accommodating and spent a lot of time chatting with us. I am kind of picky in the way that I order and she accommodated my needs without patronizing me. I don't live anywhere near this place but I recommend it to anyone who is in the area.We got three dishes and each one was better than the next. Which goes to say that everything here is probably amazing.

    AWESOME food, clearly from scratch and very much worth the wait. We were passing through town and ordered the Bahubali & Aloo Mutter Cheese Sandwiches, and Chutney Puri to eat in the car. Couldn't have asked for a better road dinner. Thank you guys.

    After ordering multiple times, in order to try different dishes - great local spot in Somerville, offering accurate flavors, spice level, great portions. Best of all, if you're a vegetarian, you can order anything from the menu!

    Excellent Bhaji-Pav, Gobhi Manchuria and Kesar pista Falooda

    My family and I recently held an event here after previously visiting for the buffet. Because of…read morethat, I have a lot to say both good and bad. Starting with the event food: it felt noticeably cheaper and lower quality, which was very disappointing. Prior to the event, we had all genuinely enjoyed the buffet food, so expectations were high. Unfortunately, the naan tasted frozen, like something from a bulk pack at Costco. It was thin, poorly made, and as someone who truly loves naan, I couldn't even finish a single piece. The meat and chicken dishes also did not taste nearly as good as they do during the buffet. The flavors were okay, but as someone familiar with South Asian cuisine, it was very underwhelming. Since this is the only Indian restaurant option in the area, that made the disappointment even greater. The staff overall was very kind and polite. The staff is truly amazing, very aware and ready to help which is wonderful!! They did an amazing job, 5/5 for the staff, no complaints there. However, my experience with the manager was not positive. He provided inconsistent and constantly changing information regarding the minimum number of people required to reserve the private room. For me, he told my partner and I that 45 people were required minimum. But later told my sister that it was 40 then 35 or 30 and it just kept changing. One change is not okay, maybe a mistake. But this? Not a mistake, definitely intentional. And if you don't know the correct answer, the right thing to do is find out before relaying any information. I found the inconsistency among the required number of guests and information extremely unprofessional, and it came across as money-driven, which was a major turn-off--especially when paired with the noticeably lower-quality food being served for a special event - aka a Wedding. Now, outside of the event, the buffet itself was excellent. The naan was fluffy and warm, and the chicken and meat dishes were flavorful and well prepared. Based on the buffet alone, I would have given this restaurant a 5 out of 5. The buffet is one I would recommend. However, due to how the event was handled, the inconsistencies, and the poor quality of food provided for what was supposed to be a wedding event, I have to rate this experience a 3 out of 5. Providing customers with inaccurate and inconsistent information, especially from a manager, is not professional and is simply not okay. ESPECIALLY because it was a private party as well in which they are making more money and taking images to promote the area.

    Tried food here on multiple occasions and it has not disappointed me. I have come here for a buffet…read moretwice (once on a weekend and once on a regular day), and enjoyed it so much that we picked this place to host my sister's intimate wedding party. Service is the best I have seen around this area. All of the staff we have met were friendly, and the same with the store manager. Ambiance is lovely. You can go here for dates, family brunch, lunch with friends, and even book their private room for parties and decorate it the way you want. Buffet price is great for what you get! I believe you normally get to make your own chaats as appetizers and there are 6 additional dishes. Once, there was even a live pani puri station (delicious)! Also the Naan is fresh and comes hot. We had Dhannu(?) as one of our servers, and he was awesome - very kind and friendly. All the servers were nice but we talked to him the most. If you reserve the room for a private party, you get to make it buffet style with 2 veg app, 2 non veg app, 2 veg entrees, 2 non Veg, rice/naan, choice of 2 desserts, and soda. You can add more for additional price. I added pictures of the items we had selected. The guests also enjoyed the food. Only change we would have done would be replacing the Falooda for a diff dessert. The Falooda was lacking the vermicelli noodles. Also, the butter chicken was lacking chicken. Other than that, all else was great.

    We recently went here for my dads birthday with a large group. Masala Art was very accommodating…read morebeing that it was Saturday lunch time. We had provided a pre selected menu beforehand so that we wouldn't have to worry about taking orders for the group (~15 of us). The restaurant was a great spot to host my dad's birthday- they didn't rush us at all and created an environment in which everyone was able to talk to each other easily. The food itself- - paneer tikka: delicious! A favorite, although there was fewer paneer pieces and more onion pieces. It was very yummy but I wish it was more balanced. Even a better balance between the onion, pepper, and broccoli would have been better. -samosa chat: great! No notes on this one. Was very yummy. - sag paneer: wasn't my favorite, there wasn't anything wrong with it, I just liked other dishes more - dum aloo: this was great! Very tasty. However, we had to keep asking the staff to bring more out instead of them keeping an eye on what dishes needed refilling. Given that we had provided a headcount beforehand of how many people were coming, it was frustrating that not everyone got to try this dish. There was lots of gravy, but not enough aloo. - Methi malai matar: was very tasty! Overall the food was very good and I'd recommend trying as many dishes of theirs as possible. The service itself was frustrating since we had to keep an eye on what needed refilling and inform the staff, instead of them bringing more food out (we were the only group in the restaurant). But that being said, other restaurants are not nearly as accommodating as masala Art. We had initially asked Chand Palace if they would be able to accommodate us and they had told us that we would only get the table for a set amount of time and we weren't allowed to bring decorations or anything like that. We will be back for sure!

    I got the goat vindaloo and my wife got something makni. Her dish was tooo salty! I was surprised…read morethat my goat dish had a lot of goat meat! Usually Indian restaurants give more potatoes over the meat. The goat is a must have! I wish it was more spicy. The inside was nice, but empty. Nice service. Will return for the goat!!

    This is another local rt 202 hidden gem you can easily miss amongst all the other options in the…read moregeneral area. This is a tight, intimate location with seating for maybe 20 people tops, and that seems generous, but they do pretty fast takeout so I'll usually get it to go. Usually I've got my food within 20 minutes of ordering, but if it's busy you're better calling it in. The food is delicious, and whoa is it spicy, so do not be shy about asking them for the American spicy not Indian spicy or you're going to suffer, but it isn't spicy without flavor to back it up. By that I mean while you'll be crying actual tears from the spice, you'll also taste an incredible palette of flavors and non-atomic spices that are masterfully blended into all the usual classic dishes, and some unique ideas as well. Good mango lassi on the menu, and it is CLEARLY there to mitigate some of this spice, so be sure you get yourself one. The Saag Paneer is a perfect 10 in my book. The tandoori is to die for, the naan is great, it's all great, give this place a chance!

    Wow. I must be here on a GOOD night, judging from some of the reviews…read more Let me just say that I'm admittedly a bit of a snob, having owned my own restaurant, and living in NYC my whole life, surrounded by some of the best restaurants in so many different styles of food. I got the Lamb Tikka Masala with a plain Naan. It took a little while to come out, but it was so very worth it. I've always had Chicken Tikka Masala, never lamb, and I'm so glad I tried it. Absolutely delish! Sorry I forgot to take the food-porn pics for you when it arrived. I was hungry and distracted by how awesome it smelled. I guess you'll just have to see a photo from the aftermath! This appears to be a mom 'n pop shop, and it may have been the wife who let me in, took my order, served the food, etc. I didn't see any other servers here, and the whole time I'm here (7pm on a Tuesday night), there was only one other table dining here. There were a couple of take-out and delivery orders. I would love to see them bring in some Iced Tea. The decor is a little kitschy, but it's an Indian restaurant, so it works pretty well. It's nothing fancy, and I want even given a knife to cut up the lamb, though she brought a bottled water to the table which appeared to mean that it's complimentary. I would like to suggest to ownership that the bathroom door be cleaned up. It wasn't bad enough to wipe a star off of the review, but it could definitely turn some diners off, and badly. This place is worth a try!
