BHEEMAS INDIAN CUISINE — Restaurant in Quincy

I live in Dorchester, and I was ready to try a new Indian restaurant, after years of eating at a place in JP and one in Dorchester. This place has only been open since the summer of 2016, and I had never heard of it, but my partner, our two kids, and I all went out for dinner at Mayuri on Friday night, and it was terrific. The first thing I noticed was that Indian people were eating there. In fact, only Indian people were eating there when we arrived. Single diners, families, small groups. When people who are likely to have a more sophisticated palate that mine eat at a specialty restaurant, I definitely notice. The atmosphere is beyond casual, not hipster in the least. The lights are up, and a TV on one wall played Bollywood videos throughout our meal, but we all had a great time watching. The service was fast, and two servers asked us whether we thought they had prepared the food in the right spice range, and if we any other comments about it. Not the pro-forma "was everything okay?" that I'm used to. My family is all vegetarian, and we started with an appetizer called chili bajii, which are 6-inch-long batter-dipped, deep-fried chili peppers, not too spicy, and which all but my youngest liked. I thought they were out of this world. Also had vegetable samosas, of which my 11-year-old and 17-year-old each had three. We tried three entrees: Navaratan Korma, Masala Aloo Gobi, and Palak Paneer, asking for "America-medium" spicy-ness. They were prepared hotter than we expected, but everybody in my family was in agreement that the hotter version was better, so we're going with it again. But order mild if you don't want a little heat. We enjoyed them all, and easily had half left to take home. Garlic naan and plain naan, and rice just what you'd expect. Overall, the food didn't push any boundaries, but it was delicious, and cheaper than JP! I would totally recommend Mayuri to anyone who wanted a family-friendly Indian dining experience, or who wanted a decidedly unpretentious date-night out. Total dinner out for four, including...

I had a terrible experience at bheemas restaurant .I ordered the kadai chicken, Andhra chicken curry, and Hyderabadi biryani, and all three dishes were below average. The chicken had a raw smell and was undercooked, making it inedible. Moreover, the taste of both curries was unappetizing, and I could hardly tell the difference between them.

To add to my disappointment, the Hyderabadi biryani did not taste authentic at all. The restaurant claims it to be Hyderabadi, but it was nowhere close to the real thing. As someone who has tasted authentic Hyderabadi biryani before, I could tell that the spices were not balanced, and the rice was overcooked.

In recent times This was my third time ordering from this restaurant, and unfortunately, all my experiences have been disappointing. As someone who enjoys eating out, I am disappointed that the restaurant failed to meet my expectations. I understand that people lead busy lives and turn to restaurants for quality food and service. However, it is unacceptable to serve customers such poor quality food.

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, and I will not be returning. I hope the management takes corrective measures to ensure that their food meets the customers' expectations."

I hope this updated review helps the restaurant management understand the areas they need to improve on and deliver better quality food to...

I recently visited for buffet where the effort put in by the staff was truly commendable. The elderly hosts welcomed us with warm smiles and genuine hospitality, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, and while the food was good, there is room for improvement in terms of quality.

I suspect that the issue might be due to the challenge of sourcing fresh ingredients in Boston. For example, the okra pulusu was quite tasty, but the okra itself wasn't as fresh as it could have been. However, this is understandable and not entirely the restaurant's fault.

One suggestion I have is to use Panela from Costco instead of the paneer typically found in Indian stores. Panela is much softer and would improve the texture of the dishes, which sometimes suffer from the chewy consistency of traditional paneer.

Despite these small critiques, many of the dishes were excellent. The samosa chaat was delicious, and the chicken curries were particularly flavorful. I especially enjoyed the Chicken 65.

I would recommend visiting this place to appreciate the hard work and dedication of the elderly staff. They are sweet, humble people who deserve our support as...
