    Samosa, Gobi 65, Boneless Chicken 65 Biryani
    Emily T.

    I've ordered takeout from here three times now, and every experience has been solid. My go-tos are the Gobi Manchurian and the Old City Chicken Roast Biryani--both full of flavor and consistently good. My partner loves the samosas and the Goat Fry Biryani. I've also tried the Gobi 65, which is really crunchy and satisfying, and the Boneless Chicken 65 Biryani, which was also a hit. Overall, everything we've tried has been good and I'd definitely recommend this spot.

    Chicken 999
    Apex S.

    We were very excited for a cool looking new Indian restaurant to open in Brookline with an interesting menu. But it was disappointing on several fronts. We tried a mix of apps - chicken 999, kachori chat, and chole bhatura. The flavor was good, I'll give it that. I wasn't blown away by it, but tasty. However, it's really hard to know if anything is being prepared on site. It felt like a "reheat and serve" meal which is not what I'm looking for when I eat in a restaurant. It's also served in plastic to-go containers which again points to the reheat and serve point I described. I feel like they had all the makings of a good new restaurant - colorful, vibrant decor, interesting variety of menu items (some hard to find dishes too), and in a location that really could have used a fun Indian restaurant. But alas, the execution is poor.

    Mirchinator Wings: Chicken wings marinated and cooked in indian spices
    Anish K.

    Went in with a lot of anticipation considering we loved the food at Mirchi Nation - Marlborough location. Bit disappointed. The Brookline location is small hole in wall type setup with maybe seating for max. 10 people, very similar to the business around them. We ordered takeout which was prompt and ready on time. Their famous Mirchinator wings fell short. The sauce was more ketchupy and the chicken did not taste fresh or spice infused. The malabar paratha were bad. They were not fresh and tasted of rancid oil. Felt they were the regular store bought frozen parathas which went stale. The butter chicken was good and the gravy was flavourful. The Menu does not include your usual Breads (tandoori roti, naans etc.). Probably they just opened and might include these in future. Looks like a good place to try out light Indian snack food: appetizers, chats, dosas and different versions of Maggie (popular ramen brand in India)

    Lamb Kheema Dosa
    Chirag P.

    I had catering from this place at someone's event from the Marlborough, so was glad they opened one in the neighborhood. The lamb kheema dosa was really good, great flavor in the lamb kheema. Didn't really need Sambhar but that was good too. Dosa batter tasted fresh, wasn't super crispy but crispy enough. Can't wait to try more!

    Ghee roast chicken
    Celine T.

    A little expensive for the portion size and some dishes were a little too salty without the mango lassi. That mango lassi was delicious though! I'd come back just for that. At first bite, the ghee roast chicken hit all of my senses. The spices and flavors tasted like home. The more I ate it the saltier it got so I wished it came with rice or naan. The butter chicken was pretty good. Chicken in both dishes were soft and cooked well. The workers are also kind and attentive especially since it was my first time there.

    Old City Chicken Roast Biryani

    Went in the other day as I had heard much about their other location, and was thrilled to have new South Indian food options in/around Coolidge Corner. As others have mentioned, the place is small - do not plan to eat here if you have a group. Perhaps because they're still new, they were out of a few items - like lamb (another guest had requested it) and idlis/uttapam. The teams recommendation of the Chicken 999 was a good one - the appetizer was excellent and ridiculous spicy which I love. The Curry Leaf chicken was equally good AND equally spicy. We took whatever remained home. The biryani was solid but the rice is served on top of the chicken - had us questioning how it's made (ususally the protein is mixed in?) - but the taste was good enough, so we took the leftovers home. The dosa was a bummer - masala and sambhar were tasty but the dosa was thick, not crispy at all. I took a star away for the presentation in ALL plastic and styrofoam as you see in the pictures... and the lack of water readily available (so you needed to buy a plastic bottle of water). For $63+, should it really be this much waste, especially when dining in store? Might as well take it all home if you're removing plastic lids and eating with plastic utensils? I'd urge the folks to reconsider all the trash. MAY try take out one time - based on the apps alone as I assume some of the above stems from being new - but felt my first time was average.

The space is clean, stylish, and thoughtfully decorated, blending a chic Indian vibe with subtle Italian-inspired décor. It's a lovely setting, especially for date night or a more upscale dinner. That said, the food itself was... fine, but not standout. We spent about $60 on one appetizer, one shared entrée, and two pieces of naan, which feels a bit steep for what we got. I also left hungry. Highlights: The dahi puri was the star of the meal -- super refreshing, flavorful, and a perfect bite between richer dishes. The naan was well-seasoned, crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and genuinely delicious. The butter chicken had a nice kick of spice but was otherwise surprisingly bland and lacked depth of flavor. If you've had a lot of Indian food (especially in the Cambridge area), this may fall a bit short. There are several nearby spots that offer more memorable flavors. If you're staying in or near Boston proper, Shanti in Dorchester and Sher-a-Punjab in Quincy are both stronger options. That said, Saanjh is very convenient for its location, which gives it an edge. Service: Service was quick, efficient, and genuinely warm. We had the pleasure of speaking with Saj (?) who was an absolute highlight of the experience. He was friendly, engaging, and went above and beyond -- even staying about 15 minutes past his break just to chat with us. He clearly cares about the guest experience and deserves serious recognition (and probably a raise!). Overall: Come here for the ambiance, service, and convenience. If exceptional Indian food is your top priority, there are better options nearby. Still, a pleasant experience overall, especially thanks to the great service.

Tonight, I added Momo Masala to that list. I was also fortunate to have friends who live nearby, and when I mentioned to them I was going (hopefully to invite them), they said it was one of their regular places for take-out. But they also informed me that they did not have a liquor license. But that recently changed!! They now offer beer, wine, cocktails, and whiskey pours - none of these are huge amounts, but there are certainly enough options for any of these. Our group of 4 did sample several cocktails. They aren't super fancy (though some drinks do have garnishes or salty/spiced rims), but everything is well crafted. Momos first, if course. They offer several varieties, but if you prefer yours steamed, read the menu carefully, as not all varieties are available steamed. We got vegetable and chicken momos, the chicken ones in a broth. Their medium level of spiciness provided a nice but not overwhelming kick. Our entrees continued the high quality. Their chicken tikka masala has a very dark and rich sauce, and the chicken chunks were tender. The lamb was equally good. The naan here (we got garlic) is very crisp, just the way I like it. This is a popular take-out spot, but there are enough tables to accommodate people who dine in conveniently, with a relaxing ambiance. This is another great add to the wide variety of dining options in Jamaica Plain.

It's a big, clean, open environment, but there were no guests on the inside when walking in. We came in around 12:30 so there should've been at least some people there - which usually is a telling sign. My dad ordered chicken over rice, and I ordered lamb in a wrap. The wrap wasn't a wrap as it wasn't folded in on the sides, but rather left as a roll up. Rice wasn't bad, but it was just more on the plain side. Things just tasted plain and not that flavorful. I don't wanna sauce to do that, I would much rather have the food presented itself as flavorful. The meat wasn't all that great texture, wise or flavor wise. Also, the bread that the rollup was for broke apart, and the taste was slightly subpar. I could've marked it as a 3 Star place. But in reality. I know I wouldn't be coming back here again. They did offer pizza which looked kinda unappetizing when seeing it. Between trying to incorporate Indian, Mediterranean, Pizza, ans Desserts, Boulangerie, and Fusion by inserting Halal into burritos - it's too much. Too much fusion, too American. Either be the dominant force of having it as a Indian American restaurant or go the dessert & pastry route way.
