I've eaten several times at this buffet restaurant, mostly because of the convenient location (notwithstanding the massive rubble pile which has graced its entrance for the past few weeks thanks to City of Cambridge construction). They advertise as authentic Bengali food, but it is not different from you average Cambridge Indian buffet. The samosas are distinctly Bengali though (smaller and crispier) and I will wager by the 4 arms of Vishnu that they prepare the filling fresh each day, instead of recylcing last week's leftover Aloo Gobi. The sauces are rich, but a little too glumatic for my tastes. I have seen the owners and someone whom the owner described to the cute Latina waitress as "mi hermana" eat their own food, so it can't be that unhealthy. Overall, a good eating experience if you are hungry and in the Kendall-Central stretch of Mass Avuenue...
Pros: Good samosas, Good fried foods
Cons: MEthinks they put MSG
