    Tasty food, we ordered idli, masala dosa and chicken 65. Very happy with food, friendly staff, fantastic decor and filter coffee.

    Nice local Indian restaurant with lots of South Indian offerings. They're still pretty new but we saw other Indian customers there while we've been there. The curries come with a generous side of rice, and the hot spice is just right- enough to make your nose run but not kill you. The dosa wasn't the most crispy I had but decent. There's a lot of vegetarian offerings and lots of variety such as tiffins, dosas, and indo-Chinese foods. My husband really loved the butter chicken and the paneer pepper fry. I also really enjoyed those in addition to the chicken chettinad curry. The mango lassi is a bit pricy ($7) for what you get and it's on the sweeter side but had good mango flavor. Lots of seating options for larger groups too and lots of parking available.

    The taste was good. I used to live in California where I eat this thalappakati mutton biryani regularly. When I saw this restaurant in Chelmsford I am so happy. I went with lots of expectations it didn't taste same as what I tried in cali but it's still good.

    Ordered the Chicken Tiki Masala and the flavor was great, but there was more bell pepper & onion than chicken. Hope this isn't the usual

    Came here for their street food night…read more Both the price and food were unbelievable. The servers were very friendly and the service was great. The only not great thing was the amount of patrons. This place deserves more customers. The pani puri was fantastic. All the specials on the buffet that night were great as well. Constantly hearing people say you cant eat out for less than 80 bucks for 2 people. We ate til we were stuffed tried multitudes of dishes and left with a check for less than 50 including 20% tip.

    One of the worst dining experiences I've had. I live in New Hampshire and visited this restaurant…read morefor the first time, and unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the buffet. They charge around $25 per person, but the quality of the food was nowhere near what I would expect for that price. Many of the dishes tasted stale or as though they had been sitting out for a long time. The food wasn't hot--or even properly warm--and almost every item I tried was disappointing. For $25, customers should at least be able to expect fresh, properly prepared, hot food. I really don't understand the positive reviews for the buffet based on my experience. I can't comment on their à la carte menu because I didn't try it, but I personally would not recommend the buffet. I hope the restaurant takes customer feedback seriously and improves the freshness, temperature, and overall quality of the food.

    Chicken kebabs were the appetizers we ordered and we were given a plentiful supply! The other…read moreentree orders we asked for were very standard- chicken tikka masala and saag paneer and garlic naan. But, all were delicious and two bowls of basmati rice were included and delicious as well. I wasn't a fan of the chai I ordered. The service was friendly but kind of lingered around since not as many customers. There was a bathroom smell right when we entered the restaurant, because the bathrooms are positioned right at the bottom of the stairs when you walk in the building. But, besides that the food was pretty good. I wouldn't say this is an authentic Indian restaurant destination. But, I'd come back here again to try the Indian buffet out since cheaper than eating dinner à la carte.

    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.

    You know one of the things that makes YouTube so awesome? It's powered by Google's own search…read moreengine! Sometimes I feel if I want to search Yelp, the more effective strategy is to search the Yelp listing on Google! Good thing I found the listing before creating a duplicate! But I digress: I was at Mighty Squirrel Brewery to celebrate a birthday, and this was the truck parked outside. My indecisive, variety-loving self to go for the Chicken Tikka Masala Combo. The dish came with rice, a little veggies, a few pieces of chicken, and some naan. On its own, the dish was A-OK. While not the greatest Indian food I've had, food trucks get a bit of a pass. The chicken and veggie had lovely spice (not heat) and good, distinctive flavors. The rice was cooked perfectly, and went great with any leftover sauce. The naan was nothing to write home about... but like the chicken not being at peak tenderness, I don't expect it fresh out of the tandoor. While in and of itself the food and very friendly service would put them close to a four. However, the value and price lands them squarely in three territory. With tax, the whole plate was $20 - this being for three small-ish pieces of chicken, and some rice, veg, and bread. While I can't say next time this truck and I are at Mighty Squirrel I'll go for a pretzel, I can say I would not seek this truck out at a Food Truck Festival.

    Waaaay overpriced for what can best be described as seriously Mediocre fare and small portions…read more There were two tiny scoops of curry in my lunch combo surrounded by a massive pile of rice. I will not be bothering to stop here for lunch again.
