Dined at Desi Dhaba in Central Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts in May 2022. I had the AYCE lunch buffet which was $16. The food was fresh and flavorful, the service was attentive even though the server was on a business call -- he made sure my water glass was filled and he asked me how I like everything. Matter Paneer, Vegetable Mix, Spinach Saag, Chicken Curry, and Vegetable Samosa were all good. Chicken was the only meat represented at the buffet, as there were at least four chicken dishes there. I enjoyed the complimentary chai and the rasgulla dessert, which a dumpling made of soft cottage cheese with rose sugar syrup. Naan was plain and tasty. Clean dining room and bathroom. The restaurant's address is listed as Mass Ave, but it's on Main Street. Definitely worth a try.

I regularly visit this restaurant for authentic Punjabi flavours. The food is delicious, fresh and the reasonably priced.
The owner is very friendly and I have always been greeted with smiles. I usually order 1 main dish and they are very happy to customise the dish to my taste.
I ordered a Lamb Saag with roti, was delicious. Highly recommended!

Desi Dabha is definitely the best Indian food that I have had in the Boston/Cambridge area. The food is amazing and the servers have been very nice to us every time we come. I look forward to going back again and again. Highly recommend trying them out!

Perfect location and delicious food. The goat Biryani I had was one of the finest so far and Mr. Anil was very friendly and helpful in suggesting the best beer to go with the Biryani. This is probably the best Indian food in the area.

I have ordered veggie platter which has 4 variety of starters. To be honest I loved each and every item in that platter. For starters, I have ordered panner butter masala and chicken tikka masala!
If you are coming here, please order these dishes, they are fabulous. Finally i have ended my meal with gulab jamun. Wow what a dessert!

Today (May 24, 2022), I had my first buffet in Cambridge, MA at Desi Dhaba. I am satisfied. A very good desi restaurant near Central square. Taste is OK. Apart from lunch, I had chai and sweet. Keep up your good work, Anil and team. 👍🏼

The curry lamb was so good, seasoned but not spicy ( I have a sensitive stomach) and the nan bread was phenomenal. I will definitely be back!
