Tanjore: what do users think?
GlutenFreeSTEMgal: Great place to have friends for a bday or any sort of gathering. Drinks are well priced, oh and did I mention the food is incredible. The chicken curry was amazing and some of the best I’ve had around Boston. The owners were very kind. Great hidden central spot to get drunk at and eat some curry.

Victor Radermecker: Excellent place, impeccable service, amazing owners. I rarely give 5 stars, but this place truly deserves it. Don’t hesitate!
Samuel Santos Ferreira: Thank you for the excellent dine-in experience and the delicious meals.
tenzin dhonden: Best vibe for all of music highly recommended for Bollywood and Nepali lovers should show their move here.
Louis Szilagyi: Pretty unique setup for an Indian restaurant. Has more of a sport bar vibe that serves awesome Indian food. The Vindaloo and the bread (similar to parantha) were fantastic.

Amy Wang: What a great add to the neighborhood! We were sad when People’s closed, but thrilled that Tanjore has taken its place. It’s great to have a stand by with a solid, fairly priced beer list, great food (we have enjoyed both the ‘standard pub fare’ like chicken tenders as well as the Nepalese / Indian food), plays sports on multiple screens with the sound on, and has a comfortable casual vibe.
Maddie Meyer: Great sports bar alternative in Cambridge. Love coming in here for fairly priced food and drinks to watch a game.
Jacob Der: PSA: Do not go here, as the security guard may attempt to steal your ID.The security guard confiscated our IDs and refused to give them back for around 30 minutes, during which time she was physically and verbally threatening toward the female members of our group. We ended up having to call the police over to prove our IDs were real and force her to return them. Meanwhile the owner was a bystander who admitted that they don't have an ID scanner and simply smoked a cigarette outside while this all unfolded.That said, even if you get into the bar incident-free, you'll have only gained entrance to a building that smells like a sewer.
nuna: Could taste the effort that was put into making our order satisfying. We had placed a big order of chicken wings and all the different types of flavours were delicious.
Somitra Deshpande: What a beautiful place to spend my First Night of 2023. Thank you Tanjore!! Best food with Vegetarian Momos and Nepali Bhel.
oren A: The advertised chicken wings 🍗 on the window, so I came to eat. And the food was so old (they warmed it in the microwave) that I just eat one out of 12, and left the rest...Food: 2/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More

Jessica Pearson: I was expecting this place to be great after reading the reviews. However it is very overrated. The place is very small and they try to fit in as many people for seating instead of focusing on comfort and experience. So if you are there especially with the two seating it is very difficult to have a private conversation and navigate around. The food was OKAY. Presentation was gorgeous but our food was really under seasoned and my waffle was ice cold and hard. They also charge extra for syrup when you order pancakes which is absolutely ridiculous. Also, our service was hectic and very disorganized.
Marina Ghobrial: Best food I have ever tasted. No cap! The omelets and steak are to die for and the staff are friendly and warm. Food comes out hot, quick and is devoured just as quickly. I bring as many friends as I can here and will 100% bring my parents when they visit from NY. If you choose to dine here, I promise you won’t regret it. The lemon curd and blueberry compote is to die for!
Ben McGuire: Came here because it was nearby and had good reviews. So glad we did. Got here just before it opened and there was already a line. Luckily we got seated right away. Restaurant was clean, open, and bright. The service was good. The food was fantastic. I highly recommend getting the grilled honey butter biscuits. Also recommend the corned beef hash. If you are in Cambridge, definitely stop in for breakfast.
Scott Kirby (KscottK): Good food & service. Unique menu and reasonable prices. Try the New Orleans style iced coffee!Food: 4/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More

Virginie Meunier: Loved it! Our waitress was the friendliest and I really enjoyed the Mexican Churros French Toasts. :)Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Ayana Dahl: If I could rate 0 I would. Cafe Luna’s customer service has to be by far the worst. My party and I called to make reservations prior to showing to the restaurant when we were told there was no reservations on weekends, to come in and the wait should be 15-20 mins(which was fine). We put our name on the waiting list. Several guests that came in after us were called to a table first. The employees operating the front desk were extremely unpleasant and ignorant when addressed.
Sei Kopi: Very good foods for very busy day!! Fresh everything and quick!! I enjoyed everything
Luke McKinnon: Food: 4/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5More
Katerina Savelieva: Excellent breakfast with so many choices! We had Belgian waffles with strawberry and French toast with lemon custard blueberry compote - highly recommend both! Cortado is great too. Will definitely go again when in Boston next time
Dan Peluso: Got the ricotta pancakes and street corn omelette. Went on a weekday morning so service was super quick, don’t have much of a wait horror story like others here do. The omelette was super good, great portion size but you should add a protein. Hash browns are soft and well seasoned but on the softer side. Pancakes were disappointing - fluffy but soggy from the ricotta and lemon mix, and we didn’t get a ton of fruit. I’d come back but probably go for the more unique options / savory
Wendy L: It may not be the easiest place to get reservations but it sure is worth the wait! The service and food are both amazing 10/10
Juan Guzman: I contracted Cafe Luna to cater three events. They exceeded my expectations and were flexible when our plans changed. They even provided catering for an unexpected event with only 2 days notice! The staff at the event were professional and courteous. Would highly recommended Cafe Luna's catering service for any event.
Janete: It was my first time here and It was very busy on a Monday during lunch time! I definitely recommend making reservations. The service was still very fast and friendly. The caramelized banana French toast is definitely a must try! Excited to come here again. They have a great rewards program as well.
Francisco Aguilar: Good food! Awesome service! We were there a week ago today visiting from Chicago! My wife and I were extremely satisfied with everything!
Tuvya Kfir: Food: 4/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Avocado, Avocado Toast, Roasted, Kitchen Sink, Blueberry Pancakes, Breakfast NachosMore
Lenny Euler: If you're willing to wait in line a bit (at least at peak weekend bunch times), great food in large quantities
Daniel Dubovy: There are breakfast places, and then there is Cafe Luna. This is the definition of what a breakfast, brunch place should be like. Not only the freshest ingredients, but sourced from the best places. (How do I know? because I’m nosy lol) Usually when the food is out of this world, the coffee/latte is lackluster. Not at Cafe Luna. Some of the most delicious beans combined with house made syrups create a most authentic small coffee shop kind of latte. All across the world in all of the breakfast places I have been to, Cafe Luna is one of my most favorite. I could write non stop, but I’ll leave you with this. Get the lemon ricotta pancakes, their melt in your mouth biscuits, and the mexican corn.

Punjabi Dhaba: what do users think?
Nanako Yano: Really unfortunate that quality has seriously deteriorated since I last ate here in 2018. We got take out and they missed one order and the tandoori chicken was tough and inedible (it used to be so tender and juicy). Not sure what happened but if you are expecting the quality from 5 years ago, you’ll be disappointed.
Clemente T. Sánchez Barja: Great food! I’ve eaten here multiple times, and it is also my go-to Indian place for takeout. Really tasty for a very good price! They don’t take credit cards at the register, which can be annoying, but if you buy through the app you can use your card!Recommended dishes Nan, Chicken Tikka Masala …More
Rahul Mukherjee: I generally order from here relatively frequently through Doordash and the food isn't bad. However, yesterday we found a dead fly in one of their dishes and that to me is totally unacceptable.
Deepika tanwar: hello sir need your help my father is in your city he is an indian chef need of work plzz if it's possible or vaccany for job plzz reply sirAtmosphere: 4/5 …More
M Marouan: I love the food, but don’t expect reasonable portions from the vegetarian menu. This is my 3rd time ordering. The containers are filled with nothing but gravy and very few vegetables at the bottom. There were about 3 pieces of potatoes in my aloo mattur and the chickpeas curry was only gravy with a few chickpeas at the bottom.Vegetarian options: Only gravy, hardly any vegetables. Not worth the price.
D. C.: This name of this place is misleading as neither the staff nor the food is actually Punjabi. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Kebobs. CTM was watery and bland, and and the Lamb Kebobs were stale and tasteless.The place is disorganized and unappealing now. It used to be amazing, but the management has changed hands and it shows. Will not be returning here.They do provide a decent quantity of food for the money, so it could be good for students.
Joseph Suizzo: Recommended dishes Sweet Lassi, Nan, Chicken Biryani, Mango LassiMore
Stacie Rihl: Best Indian food in Boston!
Evelyn Xing: I lived right next to it one summer, and great place to get a take-away curry and some crispy fried syrup coated desserts! The aroma hits you as soon as you walk into the door!

Daniel Rabetti: Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 4/5Recommended dishes Chicken Tikka MasalaMore
Raj Vinjamuri: When I ordered in the food was tasty and delicious. Some of the best Indian food in Camberville. Then when I ordered delivery, it was bland and plain and disappointing. You likely want to add notes to add extra masala or spice if you get delivery and cannot say so in person.
Sumeet Lubal: If you are indian.. Do not go here
Ekta E: Not worth the money. Food was below average. Stay away!!
Abhishek kaurav: Staff was nice, they even accommodated us at the last hour.However wouldn't recommend the place or food. Sitting area wasn't great either. Veg Biryani is nothing but fried rice with beans. Chhole was good though.Food: 2/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 3/5Recommended dishes Chole Bature …More

Nirvana The Taste of India: what do users think?
Kotesh Makke: Nice place to prefer Indian food, very good staff and helpful. Like to visit again.. reasonable cost nearby Harvard university.
Krima Modi: I went to Nirvana yesterday afternoon and it was awful experience. The attending waitress could not care less, I had to wait to look around for her just to ask basic items like spoon. I was provided fork and butter knife. Another thing is I ordered Chhoe Bhature so obviously I asked if I can have some onions with lemon and salt on it and little of pickle like one mango slice. She told me it will be charged separately. I still Made my peace with it and said okay then she can with just raw chopped onions no lemon not even salt on it. Besides every place served chhole with 2 bhaturas on standard level, This place provided just one. Although the quality aka taste was good. But quantity and customer service made me post this reviews. Last but not least they charge 50cents for to go container. I mean how cheap one can be. I paid that without complain but then I couldn't pack some of my leftover so I asked her for third container being okay with paying for that and she came with the half sized container than the first two she gave me and she charged me same price for it. I'd say if you have any self respect let do not go. People go to restaurant for eat with ease not to being treated like they are there to eat some free food.
Reshma Menon: I tried this place today after always seeing it was busy in the evenings and was really disappointed. I was hoping to get the thali But you can only choose two entrees and there no no appetizers which did not seem very thali-like. So I ordered the non veg appetizers platter and goat biryani. In the platter, the chicken samosa was too oily, and the kheema inside tasteless. The chicken pakora was bland and soggy, like reheated from the freezer, not freshly fried. The seekh kebab was too salty, and the lamb tips tough. Only the chicken malai kebab was decent, and the saving grace was that they had a nice fresh mint chutney. Finally the "biryani" was a joke -- it was rice and a bland goat curry mixed together with peas, bell peppers, and onions!!! At least the goat was well cooked, but this is a miserable excuse for biryani. Someone trying to cook indian food for the first time following a recipe on the internet can make a more decent biryani with actual spices.Vegetarian options: There are a lot of options for vegetarians and vegans as well.
siddharth sharma: Good food - but pricey
Meredith Landsmann: Wow - so delicious. I appreciate the menu specifying GF, vegan and vegetarian options. and the DOSA's!Vegetable BiryaniDalTofu MasalaVegetarian options: Extensive vegetarian AND vegan options.Dietary restrictions: GlutenDairy

Olivia B: Like the samosas, everything else is good. Want to try other paneers
Sid Sharma: Good Indian food , reasonable pricesSurprisingly well made mutton.Nice ambience, organized and clean.Kid-friendliness: Friendly and accommodating staff, spice levels toned down for our pre-schoolers.
Jesse Tordoff: Recommended dishes Mango Lassi, Butter NaanMore
Isabela Maia: new favorite! I am not used to very spicy food and every time I try “this is not very spicy” food, I always think it is too much. this place has a great level of spiciness for those who really mean when they say they don’t want it very spicy and also those who love to cry eating; my husband can attest that. everyone on my party was satisfied with it & loved the food! I tried the paneer tikka masala & can’t wait to come back.
Eric Lecapitaine: The food was excellent and the service too. If you are looking for good Indian food in Cambridge, look no further!
Vance Tan: Overall, the experience was okay. Can't complain about the average price of the menu, decent value in Boston.The texture of the Naan was a little weird, it felt like they used the batter for Dosa for the Naan as well, which makes it a little too chewy.
Eutaw Street: Used to be a great choice for Indian food, even though the service and individual dishes has always been hit or miss. With the prices increase by 30-40%, its definitely not worth it. There are plenty of Indian food restaurants in $20+/entees range with systemically better quality of service and food.Food: 4/5|Service: 1/5 …More

Siva Dheeraj Reddy Obulam: This is my go to place for Indian food
Schuyler Bailar: Not sure why this only has 4 stars - it should have 5! Everything was delicious. Complex flavors, well-balanced spices, kind waiters, and impressively fast service.We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The chicken tikka dal was so good, I’ll be coming back just for that. The dosa was really very good. We were very surprised. Perfectly crispy but still a touch h can eat. The masala was so well seasoned. One of our party had allergies and they were super accommodating and easy about that. The prices felt reasonable and the portions good. We’ll certainly be back!!
