This is a takeout only, no dine in, kitchen. The order time was a little delayed, but the food was…read moretruly delicious. The tikka masala is perfectly serviceable, and the mild is safe enough for the kiddos to eat. However the indo-chinese options especially the Hakka noodles were a standout ! Perfectly spiced, lovely crispy chicken, I ordered it thinking it would be a good kid option (definitely not on that aspect), but started personally salivating as soon as I cracked the lid, and the flavors did NOT disappoint. It's a dish I wasn't expecting and would not have initially sought out, but one I will be going back to again and again. The Hyderabadi chicken was also lovely, very aromatic with a good heat, not heavily salted as a lot of other nearby options tend to trend. Cannot wait to explore their other options, and hope this test kitchen becomes a real dine in restaurant someday!

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.

Samosa chaat- on the spicy side and so good!! Samosas are freshly fried when you order them- beat that! Baingan bharta- just the way my mom used to make it- redolent with roasted cumin, fresh green chillies and ginger juliennes. The dal that came with it was the perfect accompaniment- mildly spiced, and tempered with desi ghee. The hariyali chicken quorma was a proper quorma- with the sweetness of jammy onions and the kick of a cilantro- green chilli sauce- completely homestyle with no thickening agents!! Like a warm hug from home.

Price is pretty reasonable, but wish the portion size is slightly more generous. That said, totally understand the inflation causing the price to go up. They offered 2 free Jalebi, and I've never tried it before! Very good! The food was very delicious! Definitely check out this new restaurant in town!

This is still a great option for Indian food in this neck of the woods. The one star off is because…read moreit is relatively expensive and there are a few other places deeper in the suburbs that are more flavorful and affordable. Our go to favorites over the years is the 1947 combo which has 2 idlies and 1 vada. The idlies are always soft and fluffy while the vada is crispy and hot. The masala Dosa is tasty and filling. Order all of this accompanied by the chicken lollipop which has a mouth watering sauce (I will be honest, it is not authentic at least the version you get in Mumbai but delicious nevertheless) and can be spiccccy. Service is usually quick and attentive. Ambiance can be a hit or a miss - there are some evenings where they have live music and it can be very loud to the point of being unbearable. Large lot out front for parking and an Indian grocery store in the same strip mall.

The decor is very nice and trendy and has traditional Indian vibes. You are greeted and seated, but heres the issue, the waiters are very stern and seem upset the entire time. They hand you some tablets to check out the menu and add the order. We ordered the Chicken Tiki Marsala, jasmine rice, samosas and shrimp. The Chicken had good flavor but was extremely dry, and I didn't like the shrimp dish. If you are in the area, maybe try another restaurant.

I can't speak to its authenticity, but the sauce was quite sweet but appropriately spiced (flavorful, not spicy). The salmon was perfectly cooked, and the veggies (sliced cabbage?) went really well with the sauce. The naan came in 2, but only the top had butter and garlic. That was a bit disappointing. Overall, though, we'd come back!

The saag paneer (spinach and cheese) was nicely spiced, with an opportunity to taste out the flavors of the spinach. The cheese was nicely flavored as well. The chicken tikka masala was creamy, with a nice set of spices and something a bit extra in the flavoring that made it a bit unique. I would have liked to see a greater volume of chicken pieces, but the pieces that I did get were tender and cooked nicely. The okra (Bhindi Bhuna) was really nicely flavored. But the okra itself was too stringy, with a mix of hard bits and tough bits. The okra needs to be significantly more tender. All in all a nice meal! Excellent service also.
