I just tried House of Tandoor yesterday, and this is now one of my favorite restaurants in Newton!…read moreAbsolutely exceptional Indian food. 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!

House of Tandoor is a gem in Newton Center if you're looking for Indian/Nepali food - especially…read moretheir lunch buffet. There is a wide variety of curries, tandoori items, hot & fluffy naan, and plenty of vegetarian options. Portions are generous (honestly, consider sharing an entrée), and, as expected, loads of flavor. I can't say enough about the service. The guys are warm and very welcoming. They're very attentive about refilling water, clearing plates, checking in to see how your meal is doing, etc. If you're there during the buffet, they keep it well stocked even during the busier times. As for the restaurant ambiance, it is on the backside of Newton Center, so it is a bit calmer, despite being right by the entrance to the T. The restaurant is actually below street level, but it's still bright, full of color, and has a lot of Indian artwork throughout. During the warmer months, they have outdoor dining. Service & food remains stellar whether indoor or outdoor. I definitely recommend House of Tandoor. Great food, super welcoming staff, and it doesn't break the bank!

My family and I was craving Indian food today and one of our Indian friends recommended this (new…read moreto us) place in Watertown (near/behind the Lexus dealership). It was convenient to get to with plenty of parking up front. Its about 5 minutes from Arsenal Yards. The restaurant looks pretty modern and trendy, with several tables on the side for dining in. I was promptly greeted upon entry with a smile. Picking up my takeout order was easy and quick. Food was packaged well and secure - important for this cuisine as you don't want to lose any of the sauces! The food portions are really good and pricing is pretty reasonable given the times, and pricing of similar restaurants in the area. More importantly, the quality and tastes of the food was exquisite! Good Indian food takes time and care in preparation to ensure the flavors are balanced with properly prepared ingredients. The texture of the meats and veggies were spot-on, with great balance in flavor. It wasn't overbearing and I think their flavors are flexible enough to cater to most palates. The chicken 65 was surprisingly not soggy, given this was take out. The butter chicken was so creamy with generous chicken pieces that were tender but not falling apart. The chicken tikka had great flavors and similarly well prepared chicken pieces. The garlic naan was actually flavorful, and is very evidently crafted onsite vs mass produced. The chicken biriyani was probably the standout dish. It was prepared with fluffy basmati rice with a great blend of spices (and color) and tender chicken pieces. I liked that the onions for some of the dishes were large cut and easily removed, as not everyone in the family likes onions. The only critique for the place is that there were no paper menus for old heads like myself that still prefers to look over it prior to ordering. Luckily, the online ordering experience was simple and straight forward. I created a Toast account in the process and hope it will be even easier going forward. You can even specify the spice level for most dishes. Overall, Chennai Eats is a wonderful addition to the local community. The place is clean, the food is tasty and a family could get full and happy without breaking the bank. I look forward to trying this place again, and exploring some of their other offerings. I'm also glad to have found a closer alternative to quality Indian food, vs going all the way out to Godavari.

We ordered all of our go-tos; Saag paneer, butter chicken, plain and garlic naan, vegetable samosas, and onion pakora. Pros: The order was ready when we arrived and their dining room was pretty full! my sister and husband loved the butter chicken (although they said it tasted spicier than mild), the vegetable samosas were perfection, the onion pakora tasted like little onion rings, and the garlic naan was super tasty and fluffy! Cons: the saag paneer wasn't quite medium spicy and unfortunately pretty bland overall, I always get plain naan and this somehow tasted ~extra~ plain.

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).

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 ambiance is class and high end, and restaurant is ideal for events and even regular casual dining. The food is amazing, the taste, the presentation and service is A+. I highly recommend this restaurant on moodly street, as it is GEM sitting right in the middle of all restaurants on the street. A must try restaurant for service, food and quality. Please make reservations today, as it tends to get full on weekends.

Upon entering we were asked if we preferred our food from either the vegetarian kitchen ("kitchen" mind you, not just "menu") or the meat kitchen? My wife and I have very long years of experience with Moody street Indian restaurants and Indian food generally. In Cambridge Mass. I had what I would describe as the high class Indian food. Having lived with Indian/South Asian people in the Boston area. I have also had, on Moody St. Indian food that was the exact same as the wonderful home cooked food enjoyed by your average Indian. I would best describe Peppinos Dosa cuisine as 'slow cooked' Indian food. At all the other, 3-4, Indian restaurants on Moody St.There always seemed to be very little difference between them, in the food and flavors. All of the food we had here stood way out ahead of the many others. Prices were competitive. The server "Sai" was genuine in his desire to provide the best customer service. I give this restaurant our highest recommendation.
