Thank goodness, something different in Wellelsey! Thu Nov 05 05:09:40 -0800 2009 150870 lbfoody 1 5157751 I hope to try it soon. Here's the menu if anyone's interested: http://www.singhscafe.com/menu.cfm Thu Nov 05 07:08:14 -0800 2009 5157510 11275 Prav 1 5157825 I've never seen mozzarella-stuffed naan before. Thu Nov 05 07:34:35 -0800 2009 5157510 23376 nsenada 2 5157854 There's a whole category of tandoor-fired pizza and cheese filled naan in the SF bay area, by Indian/Pakistani places that took over from pizza places. (e.g., a occasional crypto-indian Mountain Mike's Pizza) I would *love* to have something like Zante Indian Pizza in Boston!

Must be a hard thing to do, especially given that occasionally the thin spots in naan toward the center might not hold in the cheese. Thu Nov 05 10:25:46 -0800 2009 5157854 23376 nsenada 1 5158467 I went for the lunch buffet today. Standard faire on the buffet (chicken tikka masala, chana daal, chiecken curry, shrimp do piazza, etc), but very tasty. Price for lunch is $7.95, which is a great price for lunch in Wellelsey. I want to go back for dinner and order off the menu. Thu Nov 05 11:01:25 -0800 2009 5157510 150870 lbfoody 2 5159031 Went today as well. Seems they are still getting warmed up; the spinach soup, as I was hoping it was, was not noted as soup and there were no bowls. They took a while to put up labels, but those were helpful. Also saw some funny things like the manager trying to remove some of the liquid from the chana dal because it was too soupy. The naan was good. All in all standard buffet fare, but the price was decent and the space pleasant. I think it would be worth checking out for dinner if you're in the area.

They have a good number of vegetarian dishes on the buffet, 2 chicken, and one shrimp dish. The staff have been good and friendly, too. The past two times I went, someone came over and asked how the food was and if everything was OK. I have yet to try dinner, but I hope things work out and they remain.

It took a half hour for our waters to be filled. The glasses were dirty, and we were given two dessert forks in our wrapped napkin place-setting. When we asked for dinner forks, the gentlemen pointed to our forks and walked away. Our drinks were spilt everywhere on the first delivery attempt. The couple next to us asked for their check four times and waited 30 minutes before getting up and paying on their way out. My philosophy is that a restaurant should be staffed to manage full capacity, and be prepared to be AT capacity on a Friday night, especially when new! My chicken tikka was average; not served on a sizzling skillet, which was disappointing because there were no vegetables and it wasn't as hot as I would have liked. The side of masala sauce was cold, which I sent back and asked warmed. The onion kulcha was delicious. While they opened five days ago, it would be too generous to excuse the problems with the dinner as "they just opened". I wouldn't' go back; can get better Indian in Boston/Cambridge. Same owners as Kebab Factory. Fri Nov 06 18:16:13 -0800 2009 5157510 188116 SaraASR 2 5162485 Yikes! maybe i'll give it a weeks before going. I'm only interested in it because I (now) live in Newton and like staying out of the city sometimes. Thanks for takin' one for the team ;) Fri Nov 06 18:33:55 -0800 2009 5162450 11275 Prav 3 5197283 I haven't been there but I don't think it looks particularly appealing with the "sandwichboard" type sign out in front and a lot of balloons.
