The experience at this place was horrible. We went on Saturday night and the place was packed. The wait staff was as nice as they could be given that they were severely overworked and understaffed. The food was terrible. It took forever to arrive. The tandoori chicken appetizer had absolutely no tandoori flavor and was dry as a bone. The naan arrived cold and who knows how long it had been sitting around before it came to our table. We ordered a second naan just as our food arrived and we never got it. The aloo gobi had no aloo (potato) in it. There was no salt and no flavor in the food. They obviously have no pride in providing a decent product.
Pros: Location
Cons: Food, responsiveness to customer needs

I spent almost a semester searching for a decent Indian restaurant in Cambridge, it was quite a disappointing experience for a California transplant like me, until I found this place. It has great Indian food, definitely one of the best in the Cambridge area. It is environment is great, a good mix of tradition of trendy design, but not overdone. Summer dining could be even more pleasant when they open up the huge glass doors to the sidewalk. All of its lamb dishes are carefully cooked and deliver with high quality. I love eggplants, so I also recommend Baingan Bhartha.
Pros: great lamb dishes, good mixed of traditional and modern ambience
Cons: can't think of any
