The Scene – The 32-seat room shows loving touches on a budget--Indian wall hangings, folk art and posters fix the ethnic identity, and servers wear traditional Bengali garb. White tablecloths and pink cloth napkins dress up the look for patrons from MIT and Bengalis delighted to have some home-cooking. – – The Food – The spicy, complex cooking of Calcutta and Bangladesh is worlds away from what usually passes as "Indian food," so skip the standard fare and concentrate on a separate menu featuring Bengali specialties.

Great family restaurant

by Bobeid

Best Bengali food I've had since my travel in south-east Asia. I'm surprised it took me nearly 8 years to discover this great place. I've yet to try their lunch buffet, which seems perhaps the best deal around. I'll review that here as well.

  • Pros: Bengali and Indian cuisine
  • Cons: Only 35 seats, gets crowded

Awsome food

by jbates88

My girlfriend and I went there last weekend, must say its one of the best place to dine out. There're two menus with so many great choices it took us forever to place our order. We had Begun Pora (roasted eggplant), Murgir Jhol (chicken stew), and Royal Platter (pepper with stuffing). The food was marvelous, but a little spicier than we're used to. Overall a great experience and highly recommended.

Would'nt recommend it

by bostondesi

There are plenty of good Indian restaurants in cambridge and this is just not one of them. The naan I ordered was burnt and I have had much better curries elsewhere. Their service also could be improved a lot.

  • Pros: Good location, easy access
  • Cons: Neither the food nor the ambience/service was good.
