I've been wanting to try this place for a while because I've heard a lot of good things from family and friends. Two weeks ago, I had an excuse because my family was out of town and I needed something to eat after a long work day. I finally went and I was very glad I did.
I ordered a chicken dosa to start which was massive and came with various traditional chutneys (coconut and tomato were my favorites). For the main, I opted for the thali. The flavors were amazing and portions were generous (especially for the price).
I would like to add the service and staff were great. Everyone was really nice and welcoming.
Parking in the area can be a pain because it is in a residential neighborhood. I parked along Commonwealth Avenue at a meter (make sure you pay).
Overall, this is a delicious, authentic, and affordable place for dinner.

Nice and clean Indian restaurant! We went with a group of friends and had a great time. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. I really liked the food. As you can see in the photos we ordered a nice variety. Everything was delicious.
I came here after taking my son to look at local colleges. We arrived here starving, and we left with our stomachs filled with joy! The food here is truly authentic Indian food. I will be coming here again the next time I visit the Boston area!
The second my group and I walked in, we were kindly greeted, and immediately shown to a table. The staff was nothing but kind and very attentive, which was appreciated for how much we ordered. Everything came out quick, which was really cool to see because they were quite busy for takeout. The food was awesome, temperature was perfect. We got the Butter Chicken, Garlic naan, and Chicken Tikka Masala. Everything was delicious. Great food, affordable prices, great staff. Looking forward to trying more food from here, most definitely recommending to my peers. Thank you so much!!
This is my favorite Indian food restaurant in Boston!! Staff is always SO friendly and accommodating. Food is delicious and reasonably priced. The restaurant itself is usually never crowded because a lot of people order delivery. Perfect place to sit down for a warm meal during those cold Boston winters ❄️
All around very solid North Indian restaurant in a city that desperately needs more good Indian food.
The menu is very simple: samosa, pakora, a few chaats, and your standard Punjabi style curries. But the execution is solid and all the items we tried were good.
We started with a samosa chaat, which was really good - the samosa retained its crunch and the chole had good flavor, though the yogurt was a bit dominant. For mains, we got a paneer tikka masala and a bhindi masala and asked for both extra spicy, with a garlic naan, onion kulcha and cheese naan on the side. Both curries were really flavorful (neither were very spicy but that’s ok) without being excessively heavy or rich or oily. I’d highly recommend the bhindi - I thought it was excellent. The PTM was as it should be: nothing to complain about here. Naans were soft and tasty.
Service was excellent and the folks working here seem really nice.
This is a good Indian restaurant in Boston - that makes it a rarity. I’ll be back!

Ok, from the photos you will see that we had an OK experience while having Lunch on Feb 1st. They had some mechanical issue and the heat was out. Instead of telling us that, they sat us down. Then brought in a space heater. Yes, that thing did not keep us warm at all and we had to ask them to add another one, crank those things high etc etc.
Food was decent, wait staff was great, but it was just freaking cold in there!!
I forgot my credit card and the wait staff actually came out in the cold to hand me as we walked out. So, thank you for that, but I am sure if the place was warm, the experience would have been different.
Let’s come to food though. It was OK, nothing extra ordinary in taste. Reasonably priced though.

The search for good Indian food in Boston is frustrating and almost futile. However, Vaisakhi was a pleasant surprise. Tucked away in an unassuming venue, this place offers authentic Indian food for a very reasonable price. The dishes were delicious and flavorful, and the service was good. I highly recommend this place for dine-in or take-out. Thank you, I will be coming back!
