I used their takeout/delivery service. The food was great! I would order from them again.

The food was delicious. I got the Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, Biryani with Chicken, and Tandori Chicken with Vegetable Samosas. Everything has a bit of heat to it, but not overpowering. The staff were friendly and thoughtful, even giving my elementary school godson a treat! Definitely plan to come back! read more

The first batch of Naan was incredible. The best I've ever had. It was warm and fluffy and full of garlic and butter. It was the best. I ordered more, but the next round was a bit stale and fishy tasting. The owner ended up not charging me for that one. I hope when I return I get the fresh Naan. It was truly the best I've ever had. Bollywood chicken wings were good. Definitely recommend trying them. The chicken Tikka masala is my go-to dish and it was quite good here. I will certainly return. Get take out from here or dine in. The staff is so nice and I was impressed with the quality of the food. This place is great and highly recommend trying it. It's located in Watertown with street parking which can be a bit challenging. There are plenty of side streets to park on. read more

This is my go-to spot for takeout, especially for appetizers and curries. The food is good, and the service is always quick. Very courteous staff! read more

We were in the mood for Indian cuisine take out and this restaurant didn't disappoint at all. We ordered chicken chettinadu, lamb boti kebab, saag paneer, bhindi masala, and a plain naan. They came with a lot of basmati rice. Everything was scrumptious. The lamb kebab was slightly over cooked and tough but because the flavor was so great we didn't mind. The bhindi masala was deeply satisfying for me, as I love this dish and this restaurant does it very well. Not every dish photographs well when on the plate so I have photos of only two of the dishes and the menu. Definitely coming back here again when I'm craving Indian cuisine. read more

Arriving for lunch as we drove by, and glad we did. The foot traffic was mostly delivery. The table service was friendly and not rushed. The food was killer. Mixed grill had a lot of meat, the curry I had was a version I hadn't had before and the sauce was just perfect. Teh meas in both, where cooked well, flavorful and tender. The real surrise was teh kale pakoras. Which were crispy, not oily and plentiful. My wife stated the best pakoras we had ever had, and made this a resteraunt to return to and try their other offerings. read more

We tried this place for the first time and the food was good enough for us to consider them again next time. This place is only minutes from our house, vs 30m for our go-to Indian food place in Woburn, Godavari. I have to say, their Chicken 65 is amazing here. Good portions and still tasted good even after bringing it home. It was only $10, and possibly $8 if you call them direct vs ordering on their website. (why do people charge more for ordering online???). The biryani was okay, also had decent amounts of goat pieces (with bone). I couldn't find Goat curry so I got the closest dish that mentioned curry, and picked Goat. The garlic naan was kind of blah, we won't get that again for sure. The meal ringed in around $50. We'll go back, especially for the chicken 65 at the least. 3.5 stars for now. read more

Decent place. Here are some notes: Kale Pakora - fascinating concept to use kale in pakora. Wish I had them right out of the fryer though; gets a tad soggy and a tad colder when eating from the takeout container. Saag Paneer - spinach is velvety smooth, and there is plenty of paneer cubes. Flavors a bit undifferentiated, but generally really good Bhindi Masala - one of the weaker dishes - some okra bits were fibrous and tough; also some of the other ingredients (like the onions and the ginger) were cut too coarsely, so sometimes you end up with a big bite of ginger overpowering (texturally and flavorwise) the rest of the bite. Goat Vindaloo - goat is really tender! The tomato sauce is a bit overpowering though, perhaps some other spices could help balance it out Aloo Gobi Masala - didn't think the peppers worked here; not enough cauliflower florets, same issue with the bhindi masala (onion and ginger need to be diced more finely) I'm looking forward to coming back and trying new things! read more

*takeout review* Decent Indian food for when you are having a craving! We ordered late on a Saturday evening and our food was ready within 30 mins. We ordered garlic naan and gobi Manchurian to share; I had the karahi curry with paneer; my husband had the chicken hariyali. The naan was delicious, like most naans I've had before. The gobi manchurian was good too, but dry. I've had saucier ones in the past which I prefer. The Karahi curry was delicious, I had never had this before. It wasn't spicy but had lots of delicious Indian flavors. My husband liked the chicken hariyali, although was disappointed it didn't come with rice. Just something to note on the "from the grill" items I guess. The portions are decent. Prices are okay, comparable to other Indian restaurants. I have had better Indian food but would definitely try it again in a pinch as it's right in our neighborhood. I really like that all the curries can come with any choice of protein, including tofu and paneer. read more

New customer for life here! I love Indian food, but this was my first time trying India Kitchen. I got a little assortment of choices. Everything was delicious and the portions felt huge! I got naan, two apps, and one curry, and it lasted me for four meals. I love all the menu choices and I can't wait to try more!! I used DoorDash but my food was also ready really quickly and everything was packaged well. Ready for more! read more

Really wanted to like this restaurant. Initially the food looked appealing: not too greasy or heavy, but ultimately left me disappointed. I tried the naan, aloo paratha, chicken tikka masala, lamb korma, shrimp madras, aloo gobi, chicken 65, tandoori chicken, seekh kabob, and dal makhni. None of the dishes were terrible, but none were particularly good. The big problems were that the none were particularly good. I have a high tolerance for salt, but all the dishes tasted over-seasoned to me. Too much salt and too much spice. I like spicy (hot) food, but the application of spices was too heavy-handed. Some dishes had too much ginger or black cardamom. The sauces were quite thick, which may have resulted in concentration of salt and spices. The curries tasted too similar to each other without much nuanced character. The meats were generally over cooked, which was particularly notable with the tandoori dishes. The naan were dry. I didn't mind the aloo paratha, but my family found it too thin and plain. I have never had Chicken 65 before. It didn't even taste Indian to me. More like chicken nuggets with hot sauce. read more

Indian takeout restaurant halfway between Waltham and Watertown Square. The menu has more traditional items, including curries of the tikka masala, korma, saag, and vindaloo varieties. I was intrigued by the house bowls, which cater to fans of rice bowls like you would find at Cava and Chipotle. There are 4 of these bowls - the "Nirvana" is a quinoa bowl with chicken kebab and lentils, the "Yogi"is a brown rice bowl with a fried soy cutlet, chickpeas, kale, and seasoned vegetables, the "Ayurveda" is a basmati rice bowl with vegetables, tofu, and raita, and the "Mantra" is a brown rice bowl with lentils, mixed greens, and lamb. I tried the Yogi bowl. The fried soy cutlet was thin and crunchy. The potato crisps are the thin potato straws you may find in the snack section of the supermarket. Brown rice was a little wet. I thought that the chickpea curry and seasoned vegetables were the best part of the bowl. While both had less heat than I'm accustomed to, they were both tasty. The kale was an interesting addition that I'm not actually sure blends the best with the rest of the dish, but I'm always a fan of extra greens. The chicken 65 was different from what I expected. Usually, chicken 65 is spicy hot. This one was a little spicy, but it reminded me more of miniature boneless buffalo chicken wings. The sauce was thick and tasted more like hot wing sauce than what I'm used to. I prefer chicken 65 that is drier and served with the dipping sauces on the side. Different style, I guess, at this restaurant. Overall - the bowls are an interesting concept that may benefit from further experimentation. Takeout was not ready when my online ordering app told me it was ready, but I didn't have to wait too long. read more

This is the best Indian restaurant in the area. Incredibly consistent and delicious. I want to give this 4.5 stars but that's not an option sadly. read more

First time trying this spot, and it was overall pretty decent. I ordered the Fish Tikka Masala (Medium) with Naan. It was packed with flavor, but I found it a bit too sweet for my liking. The sweetness overpowered the whole dish, to the point where I didn't taste any spice. The fish was OK, nothing special at all. A very heavy, sweet dish. The Naan was basic. It was very thin, and tasted more like Pita Bread. A mediocre experience here at India Kitchen. Maybe I will give it another try sometime. read more

3 menus with different prices??? We ordered from this restaurant for the first time online, and were surprised at how expensive it was. We figured that, either the food quality was going to be top tier, or the quantity very large. However, once we arrived at the restaurant, we found on their take-out menu that every dish was actually $4 cheaper than it was listed online! What?? Why? When asked about this, the manager pointed us to a THIRD menu where the prices only $2 cheaper than online, and fed us some nonsense about convience fees, covid, etc. The food was not particularly impressive, and the quantity was on the small side compared to other Indian restaurants in the area. Moral of the story is, if you are going to order from this restaurant make sure you DON'T ORDER online. Needless to say, we won't be coming back. read more

This place is #1 of any Indian restaurant I've ordered in this area just outside of Boston. My favorite is the chicken tikka masala. The spices are spot on and the rice is extremely fragrant and fresh. I love the relaxed family feeling as well, which makes it feel like home style cooking. read more

We ordered from here one night recently and the food was incredibly flavorful and fresh. You never know if the delay of delivery will impact the taste but this food is either magically delay-proof or just that good that it doesn't matter. Super tasty and super easy to order. The food was all correct and the prices were very reasonable. We'll definitely be ordering again! read more

Small, unassuming neighborhood spot doing lots of takeout business. I ate in. Naan, samosas, chutneys, and rice all good, but my lamb vindaloo was a standout. I encouraged my server (possibly owner or manager?) to make it as spicy as he'd ever made it. He confirmed what I was asking for, and then delivered it. My spice tolerance is freakishly high, so I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I could tell that it would have KO'ed a human. Flavor was great too, with fresh meat and medium-thick consistency to the tangy curry gravy. Would have been nice to wash it down with a Kingfisher, but they don't have alcohol here. Friendly neighborhood Irish pub next door to meet that need. I'm sure to visit again next time I'm around. read more

I found a very sharp piece of plastic in the food. Also the delivery person never rang the doorbell. The food was sitting outside for an hour. read more

Excellent meal out with great vegetarian and vegan options! Loved the Yogi Bowl - great flavor and huge serving. The gobi Manchurian is an absolute must - I find myself craving it as I write this review from last night! The restaurant is very clean, the server was wonderful and very attentive with water re-filling. Easy on street parking. We will be back for more! read more

I'm here from California visiting my daughter, who lives a short walk from India Kitchen - what great good fortune! I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala - best I've ever had, and I've ordered it at many restaurants. My husband ordered Dal Makhani and liked it as much as I liked my dish. My daughter ordered Lamb Saag, which she already knew she loved because she's had it from here before. So glad this restaurant survived COVID! read more

I heard good things about India Kitchen from a friend in town and decided to check it out on Father's Day. We got the tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, aloo gobi masala, nan, raita, and mango lassi. I enjoyed the tandoori chicken the most. They do not skimp on the marinade and present it with a generous spinach salad with red onions, carrots, and beets! Yes, the beet slivers add an extra something special to this dish. It was a delightful surprise! Very nicely done. For that dish alone I would return. I liked the aloo gobi masala and would get it again. The chicken tikka masala was okay. I feel that I've had better. The only thing that my husband and I didn't like was how charred/overcooked/dry the nan was. Next time, we would ask them to lightly cook it instead. The spices were well balanced, and the dishes super tasty. I would definitely return and try other menu items. read more

We ordered food from India Kitchen this week via Uber Eats and were very happy with our dinner. I enjoyed the korma with paneer, my mom enjoyed the korma with veggies, and my husband enjoyed the tikka masala with goat. We also tried the naan, aloo paratha, and rasmalai. Everything was very flavorful and met our expectations, and the prices and portion sizes were in line with other similar restaurants in the area. We also received our order quite quickly. We certainly look forward to ordering food from India Kitchen more regularly and checking out the restaurant for dine in. read more

My husband and I are very excited that a new Indian place has opened up in Watertown. We just tried them for take out and it was excellent. The Nirvana Bowl with the chicken Tikka was delicious and so were the kale pakoras. My husband had the vindaloo with veggies and was very satisfied with it and the chapati he ordered. He's from India and picky about Indian restaurants so I expect we'll be coming back to this place soon. I love that they have a bowl option! read more

Best indian food in Massachusetts? We've been regularly getting take out every week since they've opened and the quality is consistent. I grew up eating eating a wide range of desi food so I have high standards- and this place continues to impress me. There are a handful of other good indian resturants in the general boston area, but most of them lack consistency in quality... every time I've ordered from India Kitchen it has been perfect. I most frequently order korma (chicken, lamb, or goat), samosa, garlic naan, channa masala - I'm still working through the menu. There was one weekend that they had a biryani special - its not part of their regular menu, but they should definitely add it! My only recommendation - please stop putting lettuce garnish in the container with samosas for take out - the heat and the moisture from the lettuce makes the container steam and turns a crispy samosa soggy. Two thumbs up, definitely give this play a try! read more

I am not Indian, nor have I ever been there, so I have no idea if it's authentic. That said, everything I've ever had here is delicious!

One of the best Indian restaurants in the Boston area. The spicy cauliflower starter is one of the best dishes I have ever had, the mutter paneer and Karahi are amazing and could easily grace any Indian menu in the UK, where we are from. read more

I love how fast and efficient India Kitchen operates. On a few occasions and most recently this past week my pick up order was ready in under 15 minutes and the food still piping hot. After trying different Indian curry restaurants I found the curry here to be uniquely its own. For instance the Tikka masala here is heavy in tomato and the tart/sourness is noticeable but it was good. I only wish the online menu for ordering can expand. Otherwise a solid place to get curry here! read more

Since it has opened, India kitchen has been my favorite Indian restaurant in the Boston area. This weekend, my family ordered India kitchen twice for an engagement ceremony for 10 people. Both times, everything was given in generous quantities, piping hot, and just as good as when we order smaller quantities. Between both meals we ordered, we got the kofta, shahi paneer, daal makhni, saag paneer, gobi Manchurian, paneer tikka, vegetarian biryani, aloo parantha and naan. Basically, I can vouch for every dish from this restaurant to be very tasty and no dish overlaps each other, it doesn't feel like I'm eating the same thing. Thank you to the very generous staff and management at India Kitchen, specifically Ajay and chef Naga, for making it a great weekend, we will continue to be loyal customers and order often. Thanks, Sunil Saxena + Saxena family read more
