"I personally love this place. I know nothing of Indian culture or cuisine more than the average person does. But what I do know is, if I?m hungry and craving some of what American calls ?Indian food?, this is the place I?m going. Tastes delicious, theyalways ask me what spice level I want my food. They used to have a buffet, and then shut it down during the COVID-19 pandemicdue to obvious sanitary precautions and for the safety of all their customers! Every time I?ve come to dine here, I?m either theonly one there or there are one or two other dining parties, which again, I?m not a bit fan of experiencing that, but thatdoesn?t change the truth of how good the food is! The portions are relatively small. I can handle a lot of spice when I ask forspicy food, they still have never crafted that much of a spicy dish for me, I hope one day they do, but that?s a personalpreference! I also absolutely appreciate the kind service the staff provide. They are welcoming and hospitable and make itcomfortable enough to not make it feel like they are all watching you eat as your the only one there! Try it. You find out youwill be pleased!"

I was very pleasantly surprised. Having visited them in their previous location, I was taken aback by the beautiful atmosphere and excellent food at this new venue. I can't wait for them to return! Go check it out!

I ordered biryani through Uber Eats, and it was poorly cooked. It lacked flavor and was completely bland, like eating plain rice without any salt. To make matters worse, I'm not even receiving a refund. Food rating: 1/5.

I ordered food through Grubhub. The food was cold, naan was not properly cooked, chicken vindaloo was nothing but tomato paste. If I could give zero reviews, I would do that. I never tasted such bad Indian food.Food: 1/5 View menu

The food was outstanding, and the baigan bharta was some of the best I've ever had. There were quite a few of us, and while we didn’t feel rushed, we did have to wait a while. The staff was friendly without being intrusive.

I would have loved the food but a lot of the entrees lacked something whether it be salt or some spices. But what stood out the most was the dosa which was phenomenal. And the desserts were really good. I would give this establishment another chance

This place is a nice, laid-back spot. We had a good dinner for two, spending around $60 including tip. I ordered the chicken tikka masala with naan, and I chose the spicy option, which was flavorful without being overwhelming. The beer prices were also reasonable. I would definitely come back. Food: 5/5. View menu

I ordered a lamb coconut curry with garlic naan, and it was fantastic! Since I don't usually eat spicy food, I rarely go for Indian cuisine, but this mild curry is incredibly tasty, and the naan is delicious too. I’m not entirely sure how to use the three small sauces, but they taste good regardless. Food: 5/5

Got lazy to go out so placed an order through UBER eats. The main intension to order food from here was to have tea . Ordered Goat ? Rogan Josh, Chicken ? Tikka, Masala Tea Chapati. Everything came quite well in terms quality quantity except for Chicken tikka which came little hard. Ordered medium spicy Rogan Josh but came sweet with cashew raisins, so anybody prefers more spicy can go for very spicy option. Expectation was that will get complementary salad (onion lemon) but it was missing. This would have added more value. Overall I had nice food ?.

"If you’re looking for some of the most flavorful, fresh, and delicious ramen, you have to check out Isshindo Ramen!If you’re a ramen fan like me, you know the KEY to a good ramen boils down to the broth and the noodles. Some places the broth is too salty or “greasy”. You don’t have that issue here.I’ve gone to many ramen spots in multiple cities and this place keeps me coming back. Every time I am in Boston I must order from here. Luckily for me, I’ll be spending part of my year in Boston- so I’ll get to enjoy it more often!The broth is super flavorful, savory, and creamy. It is made using a specially treated water and boiled pork bones. This is what gives you that amazing broth and flavor! It’s also loaded with vitamins and nutrients. It is a great option for those looking for an alternative to traditional soup!The noodles used in the ramen are a little different than other Ramen spots- and that is okay! The noodles are more straight than traditional ramen noodles you know. They cook them perfectly so they aren’t mush.The broth is packaged separate for delivery- as to keep everything fresh and hot. The noodles will continue to cook in the boiling hot broth. Some places don’t account for that and the noodles don’t hold up. This place knows the deal and factors that in. I like that.Lastly, the chashu pork is melt-in-your-mouth incredible. You get four large, soft, and delicious cuts of pork belly in your ramen. I like to break the big pieces up. They don’t skimp at all on the quality or quantity of the meat.The ramen is also generously served with Woodear mushrooms, scallion, bean sprouts, nori seaweed, and a soy egg.I have ordered delivery from here multiple times and it’s my favorite spot in town for ramen. It’s always delivered piping hot and packaged very well!The broth is packed separate, as to keep the noodles from overcooking in the hot broth. It also prevents a soggy ramen. The packaging is perfect. I’ve never had anything spill or leak. They also include chopsticks and a soup spoon. Order is always accurate.If you love ramen, you’ve got to give Isshindo a try! You won’t be disappointed.Pro Tip: I recommend a ramen for each adult. However, if you want a bit bigger portion you can add extra noodles for a small up charge- that’s what I usually do. But aside from that, portions are generous. I just like extra noodles.I look forward to eventually eating here in person. But for now- delivery has not disappointed me yet! My favorite spot for ramen!"

"I haven't been here in several years and this place has changed the menu since then. They used to serve crepes, but it seems like that is no longer on the menu. I miss the crepes they used to serve, but this place still seems like an excellent local coffee shop with sandwiches.Service: I was greeted promptly as soon as I walked in even though the worker was busy making a drink. They take your name when you order at the counter in the middle of the cafe, and they call out your name when your individual items are ready to pick up from the counter. They do not serve dine-in orders within 30 minutes of closing. There are tables on either end of the cafe, but not much, so don't expect a seat during peak times.Coffee: Served as is, the hot latte was foamy and velvety without any bitterness. Even though my order was to go, I was surprised to still see latte art when I took the lid off.Food: I ordered the Otom sandwich, which includes egg, bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato spicy aioli, on your choice of bread. I chose to have on an everything bagel, which had a perfectly substantial amount of chewiness. The egg was overcooked and dry, but the rest of the ingredients, like the tomato and the aioli, covered up the dryness. The spicy aioli is mild but does add a nice small kick to the flavors. It is a fairly greasy and messy sandwich thanks to the bacon and aioli, so be sure to have a couple of napkins on hand. Overall, it was delicious."
