Imo the one thing we do well here is vegetarian. Honest up in Lowell is pretty good, i don't mind dosa n curry, and mahraja isn't bad either (although haven't been a fan post covid). There used to be a few amazing dosa places near central MA, but unfortunately they shut down during covid

I'm not saying it's shitty, just not nearly as good as those places. The issue with around here is you get very basic indian cuisine, basically the equivalent of "american" indian food. There aren't a lot of authentic places around here.

I still go to these indian restaurants, so im not telling people to avoid them haha.

I like cha yen in watertown, brown sugar on comm ave, kala thai in haymarket, rod d next to fenway. There are more but those are just the ones i've had more recently, and imo each one is good at something different. I actually live closer to central MA, and even there there are a lot of great options.

Decent is definitely the way I'd describe those haha. As I said , the places I mentioned are just so far and beyond have better offerings. Manosalwa I'm definitely sick of tho cuz every Pakistani wedding ive been too in the past 5 years caters from them haha

I'm indian, and we have a lot of indians here, but the indian food here is also average at best. It doesn't hold a candle to anything you'll find in NYC,NJ,Chicago,Houston and a bunch of places in cali. Imo, in terms of ethnic food, the best thing Boston does is Thai. Even the average thai food in boston is as good as some of the best places in the cities i mentioned. There's also tons of great options outside of Boston too

It basically tanked Heroes.
