douglas Weatherbee: Bad food and service. They don't even care about the costumer or quality of the food only about taking your money. Don't go better Indian food elsewhere or another restaurant in the area.

Matthew Soto: Delicious tikka masala, fresh samosas and very friendly service. Thank you!

DomInator: Absolutely delicious. The chicken Tikka was nice and creamy, the naan was full of flavor, the samosas were great. It was also all thoroughly filling. I need a nap, thank God I'm not driving home.

Jaime Prater: This is simply some of the best Indian street food I’ve ever had in my 46 years. The flavors, the textures, THE PEOPLE…..such kind and loving owners. This is a must for everyone in Worcester and beyond.

Emmie & Chris Leotsakos: Great Indian food! When I moved to Worcester I was sad to see there wasn’t any Indian. Nameste Woo is a great new spot! Food is spicy but not overpowering. The owner is wonderful. I got chicken tikka with the garlic naan and a mago lassi. The lassi was on the thinner side but still very satisfying. I will be back!

Demetri Karoutsos: Please know this is “Fast Food Indian” in an open mall setting. We aren’t from Worcester and I really wanted dine in Indian. We didn’t realize from online advertising that this was a fast food venue. The food was good for fast food. Prices were high for quality and venue but the service was good. If you are walking around town stop in as there are other choices under one roof. Will definitely try the African Cuisine if we visit again.

Brett Poteet: This was a decent place. Very limited menu. No lassi’s!!The Chicken Tikka was pretty good. Wish they did Basmati rice.The stuffed naan was fantastic. Should have got 2!But the location is tiny so I can understand the limit on offerings.

Rodney Lequillo: Namesta Woo is a fantastic little gem of Worcester! Something that Worcester really needed in the Public Market. Pooja does a great job in capturing the essence of Indian cuisine yet not overbearing! Basic dishes like her Samosa, Chana masala, and Chicken Tikka are done well with traditional Indian spices. We were lucky enough in trying the weekend special, Tandoori Chicken Curry, and was not disappointed!Thank you Pooja for making our Indian experience memorable before we head down to Florida! We hope that you are successful enough to have a resturant down in Florida! We'd be first in line!! :-)

Lucas Poyser: Chicken tikka with garlic naan is a must try!! Very flavorful!

Dana Crockett: Awesome food and the most lovely people! Always get stuff from this place when I’m at the Public Market.

Gina Baffa-Caputo & Steven Caputo: Namaste Woo was at the WooSox game tonight. Their food is delicious, the service fast and the owners lovely. Best food we've ever had at a baseball game! For those who are vegetarian, lots of options. Their regular location is in the Worcester Public Market. We highly recommend them.

Ranjit Salian: Metal piece came in the food!! When I complained to the manager, he didn’t even apologize and later said sorry just for formality. Basically, that was a piece from a metal scrubber. He didn’t take anything seriously, I anyway wouldn’t have taken any free food but the manager didn’t even offer any compensation out of courtesy for such appalling service.

Abhishek srivastava: We recently visited Kumar’s with the expectation of a pleasant meal, but left with unsatisfied palate. This is not the first time I've been disappointed here; I've tried other dishes previously, but decided to give the restaurant another chance.We ordered their fitters and tea, a combination I hoped would provide a cozy and comforting experience. Unfortunately, the reality fell far short of my expectations.The fitters were extremely oily, which made them difficult to enjoy. The texture was swaggy, making the dish unappealing and far from the crispiness one would expect. The accompanying image of the fitters (attached) highlights just how unappetizing they looked.The tea, which should have been a warm and soothing accompaniment, was served cold. This only added to my disappointment and left me longing for the comforting experience I had initially anticipated.In summary, my experience at Kumar’s was a letdown, not just once, but multiple times. The poor quality of the fitters and the cold tea significantly marred my visit. I hope that the management takes note of this feedback and takes steps to improve their food and service. Unfortunately, until I see some positive changes, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Anusha David: I went to Kumar restaurant yesterday. The food was very disgusting. And that's mainly Pallipalayam chicken omg can't even put it in mouth. Can I give some suggestions? plz come to my home i will teach how to prepare pallipalayam chicken

Sneha Personal: Tasty food no doubt but the wait time is too high. Have to keep asking for food and they take 5 mins to come. Sometimes you feel to leave.

Rangaaraajan Ravishankar: Two stars because-Pros: Food taste(not everything), Service(humbleness).Cons : has become extremely expensive(weekend veg thali at $25/ person), not many options, food served was worth only for $15 with inflation, slow service, not even a juice or ice cream. Quantity and quality going down at the same pace. It wasn’t the same 2 years ago and would have given 4 stars minimum back then. Disappointing overall.

Nandita Banerjee: Their buffet system is a joke!Wish if I could give them 0

Farrukh Mohammed: They must have changed their chef, food quality has gone down, dishes do not taste the same the last few times we have ordered.

Pradeep Mishra: Not worth it. Poor quality and poor customer service. Food was served cold and not suitable for restaurant level service.

rohini Karthi: At the moment you come to this place team give you a good feeling. Very congenial crew, it is a nice restaurant to enjoy with your friends or with your date. Great South Indian dishes, creative chef cook and stuff,especially their dessert was awesome . Reasonable cost and attentive service. Warmly recommended.

Papayya raju Chiluvuri: I would highly recommend this restaurant….every item ordered by me was perfect in taste and delivered on time.The reviews posted here are irrelevant. Please do go to the restaurant and enjoy the great real Indian taste .Good food and great ambience…will visit very soon again.

Sagar Tayde: I used to go here two years ago and got extremely horrible dine-in service. Had reviewed it on Yelp. I thought let’s try again - perhaps things may have changed. But they proved me wrong. This time the service and food both were terrible. They forgot to add salt in their overpriced mutton appetizer. While I entered the restaurant to pick up my order, the staff pretended like I’m invisible - for 15 minutes!!! And then they say running a restaurant is not profitable. Well yeah, if you run it like this, what else do you expect? Vacant chairs! Not going back, EVER.

Kiruthika Elamurugan: The food was very excellent and the ambience is very good !

Atul Pai: I ordered Masala Dosa and coffee. The Dosa arrived after 30 mins. The potato masala had no onions, no spices.. just plain mashed potatoes with salt. The coffee didn't come even after a wait of 40 more minutes after I was done eating the dosa somehow... Proceeded to checkout without the coffee.... One of my worst experiences dining in.

Preeti Gundapwar: Food was not great. kofta in Malay kofta we’re hard, felt like frozen lifts were not thawed properly. Paneer Sabji was tasteless. Chicken tikka was ok. Naan felt like store bought. Asked for green chillis, they said they don’t have. If you are looking to eat authentic Indian food this is not the place. The lady who served food was very nice.

Sailesh Nrusimhadri: Recommendation for vegetarians Highly recommendMore

G R: Probably the best part of the restaurant is the taste of food. Apart from that, if you are able to ignore the shoddy outdoors and dilapidated interiors, you will find yourself seated in a cozy dining space at the end of a narrow winging walk into to restaurant.We ordered Panner Masaledar and 2 garlic Nans. Food was severed really quickly however the portion size of the gravy is alarmingly small. The gravy was runny and unappealing to sight, still tasted good.The disrupting part of our experience was when we asked the staff to add another gravy to our order & they denied it completely. As per Google the pace closes at 9:30pm, we asked to add the additional gravy at 8:55pm (35 mins before closing, in an empty restaurant). It's understandable that the kitchen is closed earlier but a heads-up to the customer that it's last call is always helpful. We ended our dinner Hungry and still wanted more food :(When we tried to give this feedback to the owner/manager of the place they became very aggressive and said we actually close at 8:30 the timing on google is wrong. Note; the front door still says 9:30 closing time.Very disappointed by the attitude reserved by the staff members towards constructive feedback on the service.Overall, get there early, be ready to get smaller than usual portion sizes and a bit of lip service from staff if you have any suggestions for them to improve customer experience.

Rose Roman: Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had, this is truly a hidden gem! The naan was perfect, the chicken tikka masala sauce was making me wish we’d ordered more of the naan, and the service was impeccable!

Husang Lee: It took a little bit of time to get tended to as the person was behind the bar to be seated, but the server was sweet and appropriately came to our table. Food was great and good portions too.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Mango Lassi …More

Greg Gaskin: Best Indian food in the Northeast.Atmosphere isn't "Indian" as it is an old dive pub converted to an excellent Indian Restaurant. Do not let this fool you.Try the Kadai, particularly the Lamb, and you will not be disappointed. Also, the best Tandoori I have had in a very, very long time.

Shea Michael: I’ve been looking for a great Indian spot in the Worcester area for a couple years now. I had never realized that this place served Indian food, but I’m very happy now that I know it does. The dish I had today (Rogan Josh) was absolutely delicious and one of the best entrees I’ve ever had. Give this place a try, you won’t regret it!!

Frederick Perry: I have never, in all the time that I've eaten Indian, had as bad a meal as I had last night.My family ordered chicken korma, plain naan and vegetable samosas. Chicken korma is usually a savory dish but this korma was sickly sweet and the chicken was tough not tender. The naan bread was stale and burnt. The vegetable samosas were over fried and practically empty.For a meal that cost over $100, this was totally unacceptable. We have leftovers but are planning to throw them out because no one wants to eat them. I honestly don't understand the positive reviews. Maybe this was a bad night but to let this out of the kitchen and call it food is beyond my comprehension.

Chris S.: Went down for a dinner with some friends, ranging from someone who hates any seasoning to someone who has traveled extensively in India. Everyone found something to rave about. One of the kids got a Mango Lassi, and we had to order 4 more for the rest of the table... So Good.... No mater what you order, you'll enjoy it.Only criticism I can think of... The building looks closed. it's not. Go down the hall, door is on the back left.Also, everything is completely made to order, so service requires some patience. Have faith, it's worth the wait.Enjoy!

Al Follin: Pub 122 was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant is in a small and unassuming building in Grafton, and the entryway might suggest that it was closed. But at the end of the entry hallway is a comfortable small restaurant that seats 8-10 tables (guess based on memory). There is also bar seating.The 4 stars for service is necessary because they were short handed, and the owner covered the bar and all tables. She was fabulous, and we helped by getting the orders together for her. We were a party of 7, and almost every table was occupied, mostly by frequent visitors.The food was excellent classic Indian.

Deb Ellison: Yummy food, authentically spicy, beware!

Jeff Lawrence: Excellent Indian food and lovely service. Deserves to have a lot more traffic that it does.Vegetarian options: Ample vegetarian options.Dietary restrictions: A fair number of vegan options.

Hari Mohan: Doesn't have basic courtesy or politeness. The person who receives the call to take orders for takeouts was extremely rude and unprofessional. It was the first time I was going to try out the restaurant but they told there is a wait time of 2 hrs for takeouts. Hence I placed the order early at 5.45pm (over the phone) so that I would be able to receive it in time for dinner. They call me back after 20 minutes stating my order is ready for pickup. I specifically had asked for the wait time so that my order would be ready only in time for dinner. The person goes ahead to rudely ask if I want my order or not and that he can't assure the food will be hot if I pick it up after the stated 2 hours nor if it will be ready (if I need it hot) for pick up later. Have never experienced such a rude business! Won't recommend this place to anyone at all! Definitely canceled my order and will ask family and friends to stay away from this place! Never going there.

Irina: I was sooo looking forward to malai kofta, but they run out :( .. The food was decent, and the place was empty on a Saturday.

JMF 5: A little pricy but the food was great! Also, their medium spicy is relatively hot, so you might want to start with mild and go from there.

paul ciallella: Out of not wanting to eat burgers or mediocre pizza, we remembered this place before covid and they had an American style menu and an Indian menu.We never ate the American style the first time and we know litte about Indian cuisine.All I know is this place is delicious!Tried other popular Indian restaurants and I love this pub 122!It's what you want when burgers and chicken sandwiches won't do it .Totally American neighborhood comfort with such great flavors and neighborly hospitality !👍👍🤙

Fish Nado79: Went in yesterday for some lunch. I sat at the bar. After almost 5 minutes a waitress came over and asked if I wanted a menu. I said yes and she handed me a drink menu and walked off. After almost 10 minutes waiting for someone so I can ask for a food menu I walked out. They obviously don't care about service. There was only one table occupied. Now I see why the place was so dead. Save yourself the hassle, find somewhere else to eat!

Ariane Doux: Terrible service the waiter and waitress didn't pay attention to us we had to wave to get somoene to come check on us nobody came to see if everything was okay with our meal or asked if we needed anything, we had to wait for a wile to get the check to pay, we were supposed to get 3 bowls of rice only got 1 then we asked to get the two others and only got 1 more, the water glass was dirty we asked to changed for cleaned ones and still got dirty ones we asked for boxes for the food to take away but had to ask a second time for themplease pay attention to your costumers!The food was not to great very expensive for the portions we hadThe chicken dish i had was very salty

Jess Schoonover: Food was delicious and the servers were excellent. But the hostess was sub par. She didn't understand that I wanted to split items onto a separate receipt as I was dining with others as a group. Ended up just paying for it because after 3x different items ended up on another reciept. Also paid for 3 rices.. received 2 and was told one was a bigger size. They were the exact same size bowls! I'll continue to order takeout to avoid dealing with this again.

Ed M: Food was spot on, staff was friendly...there was a slight issue when trying to order drinks.
