'While lachha paratha, kadahi paneer, and the other spice-redolent dishes at this 17-year-old Back Bay outpost may be a challenge to pronounce, none are a struggle to polish off. Saffron basmati rice and steaming onion naan accompany curried meat and vegetable dishes; the tandoori chicken, often too dry elsewhere, is packed with savory juices. The gilded décor is a tad kitschy, so if an abundance of drapes and mirrors isn t exactly your thing, there s the option of delivery. Just remember to order early, as weekend nights bring wait times of up to an hour and a half.' Boston Magazine
