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.

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

Shanti Restaurant - Cambridge: what do users think?
Daniel V: Huge fan of the Dorchester Ashanti location, but this was a disappointment.I got takeout Chicken Tikka Masala once from Cambridge and found it to be extremely bland even though I ordered the spicy version; it was also ready some 20+ minutes late and was cold by the time I got it.By itself, this would have been a one-star experience, but since I like their other location so much, I'm cautiously giving three stars and just hoping that I had bad luck.
Wusong Road: Really enjoyed our meal here, stopped by on a whim. Food was fantastic, service was definitely Mom and Pop style—but charming. Wish they had a full liquor license but there are plenty of full bars in the area.Parking: Parking can be tough, we had to park three blocks away down by Takeda.
Beckham: One of the best Indian cuisines!

Dragan Lazin: The food is absolutely wonderful. The service is so so. Probably the best vegetable samosa I’ve ever had. The tamarind sauce that comes with the samosas is just awesome. Saag Paneer was absolutely delightful and fragrant. The chicken koorma, creamy and wonderfully savory.The servers were a bit neglectful. Waited a long time after we ate to have someone come by and ask if we’re done. Waited a long time to get change back for the bill. That’s the only reason I’m docking a star.
Rhea Bhandary: Great all you can eat (tiffin) lunch menu that rotates every day of the week. Service could have been a bit better, we weren’t attended to very often despite the restaurant only having a few groups dining at the time. Food was excellent and felt authentic - definitely get the masala chai to end your meal!
Vaishnavi Sawant: The one star rating is just for the service. The staff is very undertrained! We ordered momos for starters which showed up after our main course because the staff served our order to someone else. Then later we got our bill which was completely wrong. Kindly train the staff or you will lose customers just because of the service whereas the food is pretty good.
E C: There lamb dishes were flavorful but the meat was kind of tough. Service could be better only to nice ladies running the place atleast the front. Parking out front tooFood: 4/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 3/5 …More
SurAshu Sha: Poor and slow service on a Saturday afternoon.Food quality and choice was below average in tiffin style of serving.
Rakesh Bhol: Really good chicken tikka!
Benjamin Davies: Good food. Terrible service.
Maansi Desai: Awful experience today at Shanti! As an Indian restaurant they ran out of paneer, and replaced it with a completely different item that’s nothing like paneer. They had some paneer left and refused to give in the fixed tiffin menu even though we had already paid for it and it was advertised on their menu as included. If a restaurant does not have something they should be incredibly flexible in replacing it with an equal alternative of the diner’s choice but instead some of the staff was rude and unhelpful, and illogically unbudging. Even with vegetarian dietary restrictions they refused to give the paneer and said we had to order a la carte even though paneer was already on the tiffin menu, showing that they didn’t care about the customer but only about the option that made them a few dollars more. Safe to say will never be returning to this place again. Hope everyone tries Maharaja in Cambridge instead!
Akanksha Khilare: We came here Saturday for lunch (12pm) with a group of 6. They were understaffed so they took time to take our orders and also bring our food. We ordered Malabar prawns, malai kofta and 2 bottomless Tiffin.Bottomless Tiffin has two option veg and non veg. In Bottomless Tiffin there was a dessert and we waiting like 30 mins with used plate on the table. The reason we were given for late food service was they did not have enough dessert spoon.We don’t mind the wait and we understand being understaffed. But the food was not up to the mark.This was not a joyful dining experience. Wish the food was as good as it looks on the instagram reel.
Arth Purohit: The food is not good and service is super slow.
Sushant Patil: Poor service, not so great food. Wouldn’t recommend.
Shashwat P. Baxi: For a small restaurant in Cambridge, I was quite pleased with the overall dining experience. The dishes were well portioned and seasoned, across the appetizers and through the entrees that my group ordered. We enjoyed the samosa chaat especially, which many people may not know about. The other diners enjoyed their chicken korma and everyone was happy with the saag paneer and the malai kofta. Overall, very good dining experience for Punjabi/North-Indian food.

The Maharaja: what do users think?
Rakesh Khandelwal: Big menu with many vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices, and decent decor. Ordinary wine selection. They have cocktail menu as well.While menu suggested authentic north Indian food, it tasted very ordinary, below average. Ordinary enough not worth trying again, especially at the menu price. We had vegetarian food only, don't know about taste for chicken, mutton and/or other non-vegetarian options.
Valeria Fasolo: The food was excellent, although the veg pakora came out cold and did not taste fresh. I had the Baingan Patiala Masala, it was my first time trying that dish and it's now one of my favorite indian foods; it was flavourful and nutty at the same time, and the eggplants were creamy, almost silky! My friend and I only had to wait 5 minutes to be seated without a reservation on a Saturday night, which was great as we were both extremely hungry. The service was excellent, the waiter was polite, and he didn't make us feel rushed. Would go back again.if craving Indian and in the area.Vegetarian options: There are plenty of tasty vegetarian optionsParking: Free street parking after 8 pm and on Sundays

Kyriakos Grammatikos: Food is a little greasy but overall good quality. I particularly love this restaurant for it's cozy atmosphere and friendly service. Very good cocktails as well!

Prashant Doshi: We were at this restaurant 9 years ago and the food was top notch - 5 stars - as good as the best Indian restaurants elsewhere in the country. It seems that the kitchen staff has changed for the worse.We will not be returning to this restaurant.Service is good and staff are nice - however, we didn't enjoy the food.1) Breads were not good - Chapati tasted like a tortilla [and was all white like it was made from white flour instead of wheat flour], shell on aloo paratha was tough.2) While we requested medium spice level, food was prepared mild and was not as flavorful as expected.Food was not bad, just ok - 3 out of 5 stars. However, due to the prices, I have reduced the rating to 2 stars.
prized treasure: Felt like I was in someone’s living room /dining room. Felt like home. Good service, great tasting food and beverages.
Sanjana Shetty: For being in the city, this place is probably not a bad choice for Indian food. They offer above average Indian food and good service. Their food does lack flavor sometimes and is more catered to American palette than Indian
Anitta G: Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5More
Paula D: So delicious, with great service and a wicked cool view from the second-floor. An all-around lovely atmosphere.

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.

Jesse Tordoff: Recommended dishes Butter Naan, Mango LassiMore
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

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!!

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 Chicken Tikka Masala, Nan …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.

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.

Tim Scully: Fans of the passage to India in porter, please look elsewhere. The food is completely different and some of the worst i have had in Boston. Owners of this new establishment, do better.We used to love passage to India when it was in porter square, so we tried this all place for delivery. However, this place is completely different and so much worse. The naan was gummy and undercooked. the chicken tikka masala had stewed, tough, chewy meat (clearly not cooked in a tandoori oven) with a really watery, bland sauce. The chicken korma had oily dark meat and an unusual spice profile.In short, I was blown away how different the food is from porter square passage to India. This was some of the worst Indian food i have tried in Boston in the past 10 years.
J M: Food: 3/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 3/5More
CoBrA1k9: Worst indian food i ever had and made me feel sick, over priced..
Tara Espiritu: It is worth noting that nut ingredients/allergens are not listed on their online menu, so take care to when ordering if you have one.Rest of the food was “fine” per my partner. Naan was on the doughy side.
Heith Martinez: What a culinary delight! We asked for it spicy and we got it. Through the heat each dish maintained its unique character. Already looking forward to the next visit. Ask for mixed pickled side condiment, you won’t be disappointed.Vegetarian options: The eggplant was delicious!
Larry L Sr.: Recommended dishes Lamb Curry, Goat CurryMore
Rajesh Prabhu: Ordered from this restaurant for the first time. Got the chicken curry and the lamb korma curry. The curry was so tasty especially the lamb korma was amazing. It had a fresh taste and all the spices grinded very well with soft lamb meat. The taste was amazing and one of the best lamb korma I have ever had.However, the quantity was small and I didn't think the food was worth the price. 20 bucks for that lamb curry and also 16 bucks for chicken curry. Wish the quantity was little more for the price. The taste was really good for me. Worth a try 👍👍👍
Gangi Properties: The absolute best Indian food I’ve ever had in my life. I haven’t ventured too much into the menu as I’m not familiar with many of the items and don’t tend to often venture too far away from my usual dishes. My go to meal here is the chicken tiki masala. You can get it mild, medium, or hot. I go with the mild as I feel it has some better flavor than the spicier versions but doesn’t really have much spice at all. It always has juicy tender white meat chicken and is consistent with quality. I’ve had it atleast 50x and have never been disappointed. You can’t forget to add some garlic naan bread to soak up all of the extra sauce that comes with the tiki masala ! I usually get takeout but the inside of the restaurant is very clean and new.
RON GERVAIS: A great place to eat!! I was looking for a good place to eat and stumbled upon this really great Indian restaurant 5 mins from my hotel! Food is well priced for the portions and taste and by the looks of things take out was flying off the shelf!!!! I had the lamb curry with garlic Naan which was great, and the chai equally tasty and just right!! The Naan was very fluffy from start to finish and the lamb was very tender and tasty and spicy!! All in all worth many more visits!!!
Lekha Akhuli: Little bit costly but the atmosphere of the restaurant was awesome..i felt like its my zone.. Playing Bollywood songs..it's worth by naming of the restaurant "Passage to India"..taste of the food was also good..in short i loved that..
Shrijay Kudale: Pros: The taste of food is really great. The restaurant has tried to be innovative by their pricing strategy. They have various combos for lunch and dinner. Location is also a plus point.Cons: Service of the restaurant is big problem. It wasn’t a welcoming atmosphere but instead like they are doing a favor by serving. Pricing/quantity is another concern. Combos aren’t good enough for one time lunch on dinner. You will have to buy something more if after having combo. I order a lassi and the whole glass was filled with ice cubes. That’s not how lassi is served.
Sathya Keerthi: WORST INDIAN FOOD EVER! We weren’t even served water until we asked for some. The biriyani is NOT a dum biriyani like one would expect but is a “pan biriyani” which essentially tasted like a soggy tomato rice with cashew nuts and loads of food colouring. The soup was bitter and stale. Worst ever Indian food I’ve ever had in MA.
Elle Allen: I will follow this restaurant to every location they move to! The food is absolutely phenomenal, full of perfectly balanced spices, not too heavy, hot, fast and delicious. Wide variety on the menu and lots of options even for vegans or gluten free. Would go here every week if I could. Our favorites: vegetable makhani, goat madras, and the paneer tikka masala. Take out is great but food is even better if you can make it in person!
Leah: Got a delivery last night and everything was delicious!!! I've been trying to find great Indian restaurants near me for so long. The best Indian in the greater boston area.
Patrick Meyer: Mulligatawny Soup was inedible, thick goopy paste like canned sweet potato puree. Onion chili naan was UNCOOKED, raw dough, inedible. Lamb curry, lamb was overcooked, chewy. Palak Paneer was the only thing good in the order. Avoid this place.Food: 1/5|Service: 2/5 …More
Nidah Khalid: Very expensive compared to other Indian restaurants, sub-par food, bad service

Chutney's Cambridge: what do users think?
yakshitha punati: Unappetizing smell, greasy food, too much food color and horrible taste, I once ordered from this place and the food was the worst food I’ve ever had in Boston, waste of money
Akash Burman: Horrible food. Dont Order.
Mani: Indo Chinese (Hakka) spot in a small food court adjacent to Harvard University. We visited this place after the Harvard Tour and we were so glad that we chose the right spot. The appearance of the store front may look deceiving but the food tasted way better. We order Hakka noodles, Triple Schewan fried rice, Bombay chilli chicken, Chilli Garlic Chicken, chicken Momo's. All tasted great except for the Momo's. Highly recommended after your Harvard Tour.
Sushant Prakash: Food was uninspiring: bhel puri was soggy, veg Manchurian was soggy and not a good flavor, chili paneer was just okay, and Hakka noodles were decent. Atmosphere of the food court is not great either, I guess that's why they call it the GarageFood: 2/5|Service: 2/5|Atmosphere: 2/5 …More
Rashmi venugopal: its busy corner, good for quick bite, taste is goodFood: 4/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5Recommended dishes Momos …More
Sanjana Shetty: This place is perfect for Indian street food lovers who also have a non-sensitive guy. While they do make their food incredibly palatable, they also add a tonne of food coloring and oil. So this is a place to go to once a while when you are in the mood for complete indulgence.
Yev Bronshteyn: They took my money, still no food after 20 minutes. Refused to give me my money back when I asked, lying that’s order was almost done when I could see they hadn’t started.
Deepika V: Got ordered through Uber Eats.Highly disappointed for receiving the burnt veg manchurian and the schezwan rice is too much coloured and didn’t taste good at all..We had ended up trashing it as as it’s wasn’t at all eatable..Couldn’t able to even order anymore from here.Wouldn’t recommend anymore as they lost the valued customers.Recommended dishes Veg Manchurian …More
Kranthi Kumar: Recommended dishes Chicken Tikka MasalaMore
Akshay Patil: Ordered noodles and chicken 65. The chicken was extremely chewy and honestly not good at all. It also felt stale and re-refried !The noodles were okay, I have had better experience in the past but this time the food was really bad !!!
Aaron Kirtland: Very slow service; they cooked noodle dishes slowly one at a time
Roshan Shah: I was super tired after Harvard tour and came here for a lunch. They gave me Naan which was not cooked, it was wet. I asked the worker, why my naan is wet, and they said we use frozen naan here and this is how it is. It was for sure few days cooked Naan, which was not tasty and smelled bad. Wouldn’t recommend anyone here.
Nikunj Vora: Food: 1/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5More
Hana Na: Paneer tikka masala with naan. Wish I had more curry because it was very delicious.
J T: Delicious foodFood: 4/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More
Adith R Krishnan: Food: 5/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 3/5Recommended dishes Momos, Veg ManchurianMore
Elizabeth Shulman: Takes forever 😴
Ketan Kshirsagar (KK): If you are missing home food. Chutney is best place to have tasty indian street food. Must visit.
raj ghimire: Used to be good but now with new management, food quality is zero. Plz avoid if u can.
Chockalingam: Pav Bhaji and samosas were pretty good. Lassi was decent.
Sahil Natu: You'd find good Indian food or Chinese food here in US, but good Indo-Chinese is a rare thing. I thought it didn't exist here until one day I found this place.The food is hot and spicy - they don't ask for spice level preference, and I like it this way - who has chicken chili or triple schezwan fried rice with less spice. The flavour profile reminds of street food you'd have in India.If you're some one like me who's spent a better part of their life in India and misses the all too common fried rice, hakka noodles and some chili and lollipops, this is the place to be. I believe they have other dishes on offer too, but I'm yet to try those. 5/5, super recommend!
