    Himalayan Chicken Platter
    Sameer S.

    The best Indian restaurant in Lexington. North Indian cuisines. Food is quick and delicious. Our regular go to place.

    Paneer Tandoori Momos
    Prachee K.

    Finally, the elusive tandoori momos done well. These can be the best version of momos if done well but have been so difficult to find. Little India Express gets them almost spot on. Tried the chicken and paneer tandoori momos. Ordered via Grabull; the order took nearly 45 mins to be ready, but it was worth the wait. A+ for the filling inside. The cilantro and onion topping, sprinkling of chaat masala, and the lemon/lime wedges provided were all nice touches. A couple of small critiques (and hence the 4 *s instead of 5): - The smoky "tandoori" flavor could have been amped up more. Although the momos had char spots on their skin, the charred flavor wasn't very pronounced. - The momos were so red, it appeared that food coloring was used. If so, it is not necessary and would be better done without. - Serving the momos on skewers with some charred green peppers and onions would be a nice enhancement. Aside from that, these totally hit the spot and will 100% satisfy a craving for tandoori momos - and it's much quicker than making them at home so would absolutely get them again.

    We decided to try this Restaurant again and this time we only tried momos as momos of this restaurant are always good. We ordered Veggie as well as chicken momos. Both the momos were good and amazing. Everyone loved the momos.

    Sukuti momo

    Little India Express has THE BEST momos in the whole state of MA. We've already been there twice in one week. The new owners have added a variety of momos to their menu. Sukuti (dry meat) momo is the best and what a brilliant idea. I'm excited to try tandoori momo next. Also, juju dhau (homemade special yogurt) is a must. They also have great choices of Indian sweets. This place has amazing food and amazing service.

    Great great Indian food. Ordered: * saag paneer (it was very well done) * tikka masala w/ chicken (really good per my wife, a. It too spicy at medium) * paneer pakora (side) - yummy * gobi manchurian (cauliflower in sauce) - this is absolutely a must. Some of the best flavors * spinach and paneer nan - good (although this ive had better) * garlic naan - very good per wife Will absolutely come back!

    The butter chicken was absolutely tasty and chicken tikka masala was very close. I have not tasted other items so can't tell about them.

    Consistently excellent. One of my favorite spots around the area. Whenever I feel like a great,…read moreindulgent meal, I tend to go for Halal Eatz. High-effort, well-executed and conceived takes on middle eastern and American food - lamb over rice, falafel, burgers, hot chicken sandwiches, hummus. Chicken is their strongest suit, in my estimation. They do amazing chicken tenders and chicken wings, paired with a tasty sauce and breaded for a really killer crunch. I love em. Same goes for their chicken burgers, chicken over rice combos, and chicken wraps. Lamb here is great, as is the falafel. I haven't had a bad meal with either. I tried their hummus on a recent trip and thought it was good. Nothing mind-blowing but better than the average. Also want to call out their waffle fries and onion rings, which are perfectly done. I love em to death. Whatever my main is, my side will typically be either the chicken tends or the waffle fries. For the negatives, their non-burger beef offerings suffer from the beef having lots of chewy bits in them. For example, their steak and cheese should be a sure thing, but every bite had a bit chewy bit I had to stop eating to pull out. They also overdo it on the mayo/sauce for that sandwich. So yeah, avoid their steak bomb and steak and cheese. I haven't tried their milkshakes but I am very sure they do a great job. Halal Eatz is one of those places you can usually trust to do a new item very well.

The burgers were juicy and cooked perfectly and weren't overly salty either. There was a nice amount of grilled onions in my smash burger too. I love waffle fries and couldn't resist when I saw them on their menu. I was greeted with a warm welcome walking in and the cashier seemed genuinely appreciative of my business. Went back a second time a few days later for a double classic cheeseburger and another cookies n cream milkshake. The restaurant is small but has a few dining tables and clean. The free hot tea is a nice touch! Halal Eats is located just a few miles from the Burlington Mall and is well worth the short drive!

    This is a restaurant that is really about the food rather than the atmosphere and it's good…read moreIndian food. My wife and I stumbled on it while in the area. Egg is definitely prevalent in a lot of their dishes, but that doesn't necessarily mean its the star in everything and they do have other options. I'd say the best thing is their spices and sauces (they have varying spice levels for those who don't like spicy). Its definitely not a fancy place, but everything we had from baked samosas to the Hum-Tum was great. Only thing I'd add is make sure to check out their drinks. They have classic mango lassi, but other types too that looked really tasty though we weren't in the mood for anything besides the basic ones. We will definitely come back!

    I was really looking forward to this place as it is right around the corner from where I live. Rude…read moreservice. I ordered something on the menu that was listed as hot. When I ordered, the cashier was warning me like I didn't know what I ordered. I get it! I have fair skin, and the stereotyping is a real thing. I asked them if they could make it extra spicy. The person rolled their eyes at me as they said "okay". When I received my order. It was the wrong order. It looked like mine, so I ate some and I had a bite of the roti, which would be a safe assumption it maybe came with the meal. Not like it's a pricey side dish, or anything. The server comes back who was the same person who rolled their eyes at me and said it was the wrong order. They left the roti at my table. So I had another bite of the first piece. The server brings the "correct" order, and there was no heat. Maybe a 1.5 out of 10 on the heat scale. I asked if it was the correct order. The server said yes. I asked if there was something to make it hotter. The server decided to insult me in front of my family and tell me that I can pay for the roti when I am ready to leave. What?!? It was your mistake, and after you insult me twice, you want me to pay? It's not the price. It they weren't rude. I would have been happy to pay. It's a cheap, unleavened flatbread. So, the food quality is definitely Indian street food. Don't expect anything glamorous. If you want spicy food... unless you're one of those people that find black pepper spicy... get yourself a mango lassi, it is spicier than what they consider "hot". They wouldn't survive a day in my kitchen when it comes to spice. It was a waste of money. Especially paying $50 for street slop on a paper plate. (One appetizer, one soda, one drink, two entrees). No wonder why they charge first, then serve the food. This place could close down, and I wouldn't notice or care.

    I was genuinely looking forward to trying Cafe Vanak today, especially because I've enjoyed Persian…read morefood for years through close friends and had heard great things about this place. Unfortunately, my first experience did not reflect the many positive reviews. When I walked in, the first thing I was asked was "pickup?" I politely said no, that I wanted to place an order. I had to repeat myself several times, and the older woman at the counter either seemed frustrated, distracted, or maybe just having a rough day. There was little direction given to a first-time customer, and I found myself awkwardly trying to figure out where the menu board was and how the ordering process worked. Eventually, I stepped aside to look over the menu. The older woman continued helping the customers in front of me, which was completely understandable. What confused me was that the younger employee made eye contact with me, nodded toward me as if acknowledging I needed help, then asked if anyone had helped me yet. I explained that the other employee was probably about to, but needed a moment. Before I could even finish, she cut me off and said, "Oh, she can help you then," and immediately went back to scrolling on her phone while I continued standing there waiting. That was the disappointing part for me. If you ask who's next at the register, acknowledge someone is waiting, and another employee is already busy helping others, it creates a poor first impression when the available employee chooses not to assist and instead goes back to their phone. It came across as a lack of urgency and customer service. Maybe it was just an off day. I'm not writing this to attack the business because the food may very well be excellent, and clearly many people love this place. But first impressions matter, especially for new customers walking in excited to try your establishment for the first time. I truly hope the service experience improves because I wanted to like this place a lot more than I did today.
