While we’re grateful that Boston’s traditional sub-continental restaurants offer more regional variety than ever—nice to see you, Indo-Chinese—this unimposing, long-running Kenmore Square venue continues to deliver the old-school goods: a comprehensive menu of familiar Punjabi and Mughal standards leavened with very good breads and the odd vindaloo or two. What keeps us coming back are its consistency, bargain-priced set-menu thalis, a nicer-than-usual selection of Indian and Western desserts and, above all, the sweet-natured hospitality of its veteran hosts.
