I don't know what this person at the bottom is talking about (maybe he/she went on a bad day?) but if you read the other reviews and talk with local Boston students, there's no doubt that this Dhaba is a local favorite. Each order comes in generous quantities, is very authentic Punjabi, and tastes soo savory and fresh (as opposed to typical, greasy, restaurant-style Indian food). I highly recommend the Veg or Non-Veg platters for 1. It comes with rice, chutney, samosa, curry, vegetables or daal --a fantastic, filling meal for only $6-7!! Other favorites are the chole poori or chole bhature (large puffed fried dough with a chickpea curry), chicken tikka masala, any of the parathas (flatbreads), and any of the lighter snacks (like dahi papri or bhel puri) . Don't forget to snag an absolutely lip-smacking mango lassi-drink from the fridge! I love how this place doesnt have the showy ambiance and mediocre, stale quality of other Indian restaurants, and provides the closest thing to what Indians will call home-food or soul-food. Probably not a place I would take a swanky date.
Pros: cheap and delicious!!!
Cons: long lines on weekends, ample dining space (sometimes takeout is better)
