I really miss Walnut Grille, but still thoroughly enjoyed this new concept, Shiva's Kitchen! I came…read morehere recently for the first time when I heard that they were serving some of Walnut Grille's most beloved items. We started the meal with Gobi Manchurian, which was always a standout item and still very much is. I am obsessed with the tangy sauce in the perfectly crisp, well battered and fried cauliflower. We also got some pakoras, which were just as wonderful in taste and texture. The lentil soup was well seasoned and well spiced and very hearty. The dosa was a winner in its lovely flavor, but sadly lacked in not having enough filling. I also really enjoyed the yogi bowl in having very fresh and tasty veggies with wonderful sauces and a marinated tofu. The presentation was elegant. The restaurant itself had a great vibe and very little felt different from Walnut Grille. There are a variety of tables and booths to choose from. The service was friendly even though it was on the slower side. I was bummed they didn't have any vegan desserts available, despite it being listed on the menu. Parking is very easy in the attached lot behind the restaurant.

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.

Dining here was an excellent experience! From the moment we walked in the door, we were met with…read morethe scent of delicious Indian spices, prepping us for the flavorful meal ahead. And flavorful it was! The chicken tikka masala sauce was packed with spice and had a lovely silky texture. Paired with the rice and naan was a bite that transported us straight to India! Not to mention, the ceremonial decor makes the entire night feel like a true, traditional dining experience. This spot is perfect for sharing and the meal was very cheap for the quantity and quality! We were also able to try their crisp veggie samosas (my absolute fav!) and their traditional gulab jamun (which they kindly provided us on the house!) The service is incredibly kind, moves swiftly, and truly makes you feel at home. Finally, I have to commend their extensive menu offering every traditional indian dish you can imagine, plus some you've probably never heard of. I can't wait to go back and try more things, this spot is the perfect place to indulge in some comfort food or branch out and try something new! I can't give this place enough praise and I'd definitely recommend you stop by whenever you get the chance! Make sure to bring your appetite, and maybe some friends and family to help out as well.

The ambience in the restaurant is so nice, it is very quiet and relaxing inside. The staff is super friendly and patiently walked us through the menu and their recommendations because it was our first time. We ordered a variety of dishes to try: chicken tikka masala, meat samosas, fried chicken momos, aloo tiki, and garlic naan. Everything was absolutely delicious. This is some real deal Indian food. The garlic naan was out of this world, and was so good with the tikka sauce. We will be back soon!

They don't know how to make naan, while the other Indian bread seemed like reheated from frozen. Ok may not have been frozen, but yeah made "earlier" and reheated. The only saving grace was the curry which was on the spicier side. They have the space, it could be better - but they have to hire better staff who know how to work in restaurants. Can quickly go downhill otherwise. Good for pickup, not great for dine in. The music playing in the background was too loud while the staff was busy watching the TV screen rather than asking whether the customer needed anything else or how the food was. Summarizing a restaurant run by people who don't know how to run a restaurant. Given the dismal quality of Indian food in a 20 mile radius from here is the only reason it gets a 3 star. Otherwise would have been a 2 star. I'll pickup next time I feel like going here. Till then just forced to use other restaurants except when I crave Indian food. Sad state of affairs. But worth checking out once - to pickup.

It was not the largest buffet we have been to, but everything was just interesting and delicious. We tried few new dishes that we never had before. There was a chef making potato doses right there and they were as fresh as could be.

We chose the mixture and fresh hot Nan was brought to our table in a basket The service was excellent The dishes were cleared, and the water glasses were always filled.

They serve an…read moreabbreviated menu of their main location, Street Kitchen in Marlborough offering Indian style pizzas, chaats, paninis, rolls and appetizers, with vegan, vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. They also sell cold drinks too. The place is cozy which is an order at the counter place with a few tables. I stopped by for takeout and ordered a few items to try including the Chicken Panini ($9 plus tax). Chana Masala Roll ($7 plus tax) and Aloo Tikki Chaat ($7 plus tax). My food was prepared to order behind the counter after paying. The Chicken Panini was cut into a triangle which was thick and very tasty, served with a bag of Lays Potato Chips. The Chana Masala Roll had a chilled chick pea red sauce mix and a slightly spicy flavor in a soft wheat wrap. The Aloo Tikki Chaat was a good portion of chick peas, spicy sauce, yogurt, onions, coriander, shredded cheese. Overall, I enjoy their take on Indian street food and I can't wait to get some pizza next time.
