I was in town for a reunion with my buddies, and while exploring Newbury Street, we came across…read moreSarva. The place was buzzing for a Thursday night, which was a great sign! While we waited for our table, the host kindly accommodated us at the bar, where we tried a mango-flavored cocktail Mango Blaze, that tasted like a spiked Aam Panna--a fun and refreshing twist! We ordered a couple of appetizers, and they hit all the right notes, especially the Chilli Mushroom, which was a standout. For the mains, the Zafrani Kofta and Kadai Veg were flavorful, perfectly balanced on spice, and not overly oily. The rest of the group tried some non-vegetarian dishes and seemed equally pleased. The interiors felt fresh and inviting, and the staff was warm, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. I don't write reviews often, but this experience deserved one. It was wonderful to see a bustling Indian restaurant serving authentic, well-balanced flavors in such a prime location.

The aroma coming from Sarva caught our attention while we were shopping on Newbury Street, and we…read moreactually backtracked about half a mile after shopping because it smelled so good--we had to go back! We loved the cute outdoor patio and had such a fun experience. I especially appreciated how clearly the menu labels vegan options and allergens, which made ordering really easy. They also have some fun martinis, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The food was soo good, and the samosas were a highlight for me. My mom thought they were a little spicy, but I thought they were great and loved the flavor. Service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, a really enjoyable and unplanned stop that I'd definitely come back to, especially for the patio, drinks, and very vegan-friendly menu.

I was transported back to dinners from my childhood in New Delhi. I appreciated how indulgent the…read moreexperience felt. The velvet interiors in jewel tones, the well staffed team who were attentive but not overbearing, and the beautiful presentation of each dish - the experience showed the owners had invested whole heartedly in customer experience, unlike some ethnic food places that do the bare minimum. Everything here was clean, elegant, thoughtful. Now, let's talk about the food. The appetizer (beet croquette) was excellent. The usual trap with kebabs, especially vegetarian ones, is that they feel dry. This didn't. We also got paneer pasanda, which was not my favorite. It was deep fried and turned rubbery. I'm more a fan of soft paneer that melts in your mouth. The lachha paratha was good. The item I'm still thinking of is their amazing mango lassi, which is like a drinking version of srikhand! Overall, I found the pricing to be fair based on the quality of the experience ($7 lassi, $13 appetizer, $20 entree, $8 breads).

Probably my new favorite Indian restaurant!! I've come here now twice, once for lunch and once for…read moredinner. The interior has a bunch of tables, and sitting out on the patio is also delightful. Over my visits, I've ordered the palak paneer, butter chicken, chicken korma, the crispy cauliflower, and the kale and sakarkandi chaat. The chaat was incredible - I ordered this on the server's recommendation and probably could've eaten many more bowls of it! It has kale that's been battered in a flavorful layer and then deep fried until it's crispy, along with sweet potatoes and the perfect balance of sauces. Really to die for! The crispy cauliflower also hits. It has a spiced batter that coats the cauliflower and makes every bit delicious. The star of the mains may well have been the palak paneer! I feel like it's sometimes hard to find a palak/saag paneer that is flavorful and thick. This was one of the best I've had. It was super creamy, rich in flavor, and had a good ratio of palak to paneer. The special butter chicken has a nice smoky flavor that distinguishes it from other butter chickens. The shahi murgh korma was also fabulous. I've really enjoyed their garlic naan, which is charred well and fluffy. Their dinner service was a bit slow on the Friday evening we went, but we really enjoyed sitting on the patio on a beautiful night so we couldn't complain too much. I think the portions are pretty generous and the prices are fair. It's a great location, looking out on Beacon St. and right near St. Mary's and Fenway. I will definitely be back!!!!

The restaurant is beautiful, although it felt a little too dark during the day. Service was slow, even though it wasn't busy. We ordered the Butter Chicken with naan and the paratha egg roll. The Butter Chicken was good, but a little too sweet and lacked depth of flavor. The chicken was juicy and tender, which was the best part. The naan was good, but I've had better. The paratha egg roll was the standout. It was surprisingly delicious and my favorite dish of the meal. Eat here if you're curious.

We were seated promptly. The staff is super nice and friendly which added to the vibe of the place. It's a pretty simple restaurant, with amazing food. Chili veg momo- the only time I get momos is in India. I was ecstatic to see them on a menu. And these momos blew me away, they were SO good. I will be going back regularly just for momos. Note that the momos are huge, and there's a LOT of them. We had leftovers. Chicken 65- another delicious app. So saucy and delicious Chicken vindaloo...butter chicken...I could keep writing but the point is it's all amazing.

There is limited sitting, and can get quite busy spastically for dinner, but the wait is well worth it.

With plenty of fillings to choose from lamb, chicken, spicy potatoes and a ton of veggie and vegan options, you will find something for every taste. The dipping sauces cover all bases, spicy, sweet and garlicky. I make a point to visit Madras Dosa every time I'm in the seaport area. Check them out! Nothing fancy. Just good Indian street food.
