Jake Smith: Everything they cook here is very good. I typically go with the Chicken Saag or Chicken Tikka Masala. Be sure to pick up some naan too!
Serious Eats: The two-floor space is spare and your food comes on a metal tray -- that's part of the charm here, where traditional Indian classics come with naan, raita and more.
Riley Johnson: Chicken bhartha is a delicious veggie based marinade perfect for nan dipping

Boston Phoenix: For appetizers, have the galouti kebab and the shammi kebab, and any naan at all.Dishes are well seasoned, but not overly so- to get spicier food, order a side order of “pickle." Read more.
Riikka Lund: Everyting was delicious, garlic naan excellent, good and rapid service:)
Ankit Bhargava: Murgh malai kabob, murgh Wajid Ali. Amazingly delicious!! Also tried chole and bhatura. All turned out great. Got a delivery. They came at 12am to deliver the food. Haven't seen the place in person

Andrei Nikulin: Great shrimp curry and loved the Onion Naan bread!
Kelsey Thurber: Nice people, great food, they will make it as spicy or mild as you want! I recommend doing one of their dinner specials, you get a lot of food for a good price!
todd stacy: Use your PuruzCard and always get 15% off! puruz.com
Ankit Bhargava: Samosa, chicken tikka, butter chicken, garlic naan. Some of the best in #Boston. Biryani and raita and aloo mattar was a bit off
Aaron Wheeler: Easily the best and freshest Indian in Boston. Taste the vegetable samosas and chili naan and see for yourself. Absolute nicest staff and owners!!!
Aaron Wheeler: If you want vegan or vegetarian treats for lunch or dinner, you MUST eat here!

A S: I won't say that the taste is completely authentic but the kathi rolls are pretty good. Their chicken tikka pizza (naaniza, I think, pizza on a naan) and mango lassi are good too.
Sreejita Deb: Lamb seekh w/ masala paratha and the yogurt and mint dip- now *that* is a real kathi roll! Try it!
Aaron Franklin: Great new place for fast Indian food

Oz Mendes: Coming from a soldier who's eaten the real Afghani food in their home turf, they Really bring the taste.,... The food is GREAT! And the desert was amazing! The Naan bread wasn't too legit.
Jeremy Krantz: One of Cambridge's great restaurants. Try their Kaddo pumpkin appetizer, it's one of the best dishes I've ever had. And I don't even like pumpkin.
Christian: Great place. Get anything with pumpkin in it.
