Favorite Indian in Boston area - Edit
I’ve only lived here for a few years but this is my favorite Indian restaurant that I’ve tried. All vegetarian and lots of vegan options. The dosas are really good and so is the dal.

Nice (but menu of the day is never vegan) - Edit
Had dal makhani and onion dosa. Both nice but everything on the menu of the day (14$) had cream in, so we went a la carte.

Cons: No vegan menu of the day

Delicious Dosas - Edit
Went for dinner as soon as they opened on a Tuesday. It was apparently unlimited dosa night, which we did not know going in. The dosas are delicious and there's plenty of room for parties large and small.

Authentic Tasting Indian Food - Edit
I love this place! The atmosphere is amazing, and the lunch buffet is to die for! Every time I go in, I make sure to get the dosa (you have to, it's in the name!). I've spent a lot of holidays here, celebrating in the comfy booth-style seating.

I really enjoyed my experience here and will certainly be returning. I shared a dosa and a curry with someone and both were delicious. The food came quickly and both orders had great texture and flavor. A no-fuss place!

Dosa night! - Edit
Stopped in on a whim and it was all you can eat dosa (Tuesday) night!! Had a few different delicious dosas. The Chana masala was delicious as well. Lots of well marked vegan options and very nice staff. Will let you get ice cream from next door (veggie crust) as a vegan dessert option
Read morePros: Delicious!, Unlimited dosa night!

love their food - Edit
As local Somerville residents we enjoy this place a lot. It's our go to curry spot when we have a craving. Love the vegan options. Only downside is when visiting the restaurant they don't serve alcohol but we have regular take out from here and it's just as yummy. Highly recommend a visit or take out

Great Labeling - Edit
It is SO welcome to have an Indian restaurant nearby that has clear labeling of the food. It can be so stressful to not know if a dish contains ghee. Some safe bets are usually chana masala and aloo ghobi, but its nice to have labels. The price is more than right, and the food is delicious. The dosa is quite good as well. Veggie Crust next door is amazing too. Great to have this pair of restaurants in Somerville.
Read morePros: Affordable, Filling, Generous portions
Cons: A tad underseasoned for Indian food

Pretty Good! - Edit
We just finished visiting two of Harvard's Museums and were hungry and I found this place within walking distance, so off we went. It was easy to find and the place was nice and cozy with several patrons already eating. There was a buffet, but since both my husband and I don't eat onion and garlic, we ordered off the menu after speaking with one of the staff.
Read moreWe got the Sada Dosai and the Paneer Tikka Masala. The portions were "just right", meaning we ate everything and felt content - not full, but not hungry either. The flavor was delicious. I would have loved to try the buffet (a great way to get a feel of a restaurant and their offerings, but that sadly wasn't an option for us). The staff was nice and attentive, but interestingly enough, there must not be many Jains who visit because our server had to go to the back and ask several times on what could be made onion/garlic-free.
Summary: good food (at least what we could eat), though it took a bit of time for it to come out. Somewhat Jain-diet friendly, but it decreases your choices by a lot. I would give them 3.5 "stars" but bumped it up to 4, since the food was good - just the selection could be better and it could have come out faster.
Note: we're not Jains, but their diet is similar to ours and it tends to be very convenient when we go to Indian restaurants. Sadly, not in this case.
Pros: good food at good portions
Cons: not much onion/garlic-free food

OMG, so good! - Edit
My BF and I came here for dinner and it was amazing. Menu was pretty big with lots of vegan options clearly marked. Place was clean and service was friendly (especially for an Indian restaurant if you know what I mean...). Best part was the food-flavorful, richly spiced, simply delicious. The clientele was predominantly Indians, which is always a good indicator that the restaurant is authentic. I've had my fair share of Indian (South Indian in particular), and I was excited to see a number of items on their menu that are not commonly found in Indian restaurants in the US. If you love (South) Indian food, you'll definitely love this place.
Read morePros: selection, delicious food
