Momo N Curry — Restaurant in Somerville

We recently moved to the area and this place impressed us so much, we went twice in one week!

The Chicken Tikka Masala was on point, very tangy and creamy with the right amount of heat (we got medium). The spicy, creamy sauce is addictive. Definitely one of the best Tikka Masala’s I ever had!

The Chicken Curry is a common, stereotypical curry with really well-cooked chicken. The chicken was perfectly spiced and still juicy. If this place can nail a chicken curry and chicken tikka masala, I would assume everything on the menu is great.

We later went back and got the Lamb Curry (not pictured) which was fantastic. The lamb was well-cooked, tender, and spiced perfectly without a hint of the typical gamey lamb flavor.

Each curry is specifically crafted to balance out every dish differently. The chicken curry is a lighter sauce which compliments the chicken (although still heavy in a sense) while the dark lamb curry sauce really balances the meaty, hearty flavor of the red meat.

Goat momos - the thickness of the dough compared to the meat filling was the perfect ratio and the overall construction and seasoning of the momos was complimented by the flavor of the spiced goat meat. The texture of the momos was quite delightful. We highly recommend getting the chili momo version (+$1) which was a fantastic blend of coarsely chopped veggies in a sweet and spicy tomato-based sauce.

Overall, this place feels like a home cooked meal - nothing fancy, just good comfort food. They give large portions so the price is very reasonable since you will get multiple meals out of one serving. Definitely check this place out as it will certainly cheer you up and help you beat the cold...

Remember that school bus converted to a rag tag shelter under which an Indian chef was tossing noodles in a wok and would throw an assortment of powdered spices and squeeze random sauces out of a kissan ketchup bottle … somehow managing to conjure up the most amazing flavored noodle dish which defined the cuisine that came to be known as indo-chinese???

Don’t worry if you don’t … you can get that here! I’ve searched across the US and can’t say I know any place that does this better than here! Even the places back in India these days don’t measure up! I’ve eaten in and taken out and the flavor is truly authentic and the spice levels are exactly as described … the medium is perfection! The shape of the cut veggies, the flavor of the dish, the meat quality … I could go on forever. The details do count. I’m just not able to look past the noodles on the menu! What a find!

Oh I also had the chicken momos (steamed and fried) and they were great!

More to come after I taste...

$66 + $12(tip) $78 total The short: Mouth watering food at an affordable price. The chef came out and gave us personalized recommendations. Unbelievably good you will not be disappointed.

The long: We walked in on a whim, best decision. Unsure of what to get, we talked to the chef and the cashier, who both helped us with our order and made stellar recommendations. They also slightly customized our orders, adding vegetables to a dish for no extra charge. My friend wanted his extremely spicy, and they hooked it up. Everything we ate was amazing. The hot sauce on the side had a fresh nutty taste, my chicken vindaloo was clearly fresh as hell and the chicken was so soft and buttery. Nothing was overcooked or prepared sloppily. The naan was full of garlic and seasoned just right, it was buttery enough, but not dripping with oil.

My only complaint is that my stomach was unable to contain more food, and afterwords we couldn't get Belgian...
