The buffet offers a selection of the most loved Indian foods . And they taste just like they do where I discovered and enjoyed them in the San Francisco Bay Area. Truly authentic !

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

Tried the Murgh Wajid Ali . Very delicious and served nicely. It is chicken with creamy sauce and ground nuts . Mango Lassi was also very good.

Best chicken tikka masala I’ve ever eaten! Attractive setting overlooking the hustle and bustle of Harvard Square’s JFK Boulevard.

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
