“ I have celiac disease and have to describe dietary needs as "severe gluten allergy". I called when ordering to make sure they could cater to this and they said that they could. The food is great and I did not get sick. I hope others can have a similarly positive experience and enjoy their food! ”
“ One of the best Indian restaurants in town. Definitely try their Biryani ”
“ My dad and I loved our meal at India Kitchen. I got the vegetable samosa, gobi Manchurian, and channa masala. Each dish was very flavorful. Great spices. There is something for everyone here with the meat, vegetarian & vegan, and gluten-free options. We enjoyed the colorful wall paintings, too. Will be back soon! ”
“ A simple hole in the wall place, but their food and service is absolutely immaculate. The manager Sachin always takes care of you. The curries and breads are always perfect with right amount of texture and spices. The food is consistently good and whenever I'm visiting my hometown of Boston for a period of time, I always visit multiple times. ”
“ It’s my go to place every Friday evening and found them much better than any other Indian restaurants in the area. Love their curries ”
“ Delicious! We got the tikka masala with chicken. It was a yummy tomato base sauce and not very spicy. Next time I will get it with garlic naan! ”
“ We were in the mood for Indian cuisine take out and this restaurant didn’t disappoint at all. We ordered chicken chettinadu, lamb boti kebab, saag paneer, bhindi masala, and a plain naan. They came with a lot of basmati rice. Everything was scrumptious. The lamb kebab was slightly over cooked and tough but because the flavor was so great we didn’t mind. The bhindi masala was deeply satisfying for me, as I love this dish and this restaurant does it very well. Not every dish photographs well when on the plate so I have photos of only two of the dishes and the menu. Definitely coming back here again when I’m craving Indian cuisine. ”
“ Cannot recommend highly enough! Beautiful space, great location, lovely customer service, and one of my two favorite vegetable kormas that I’ve ever had. If I could give them more stars, I would! ”
