" Although I had high hopes for Grand India, my experience was somewhat underwhelming. The chicken tikka masala was enjoyable but lacked the expected depth of flavor, and the garlic naan was somewhat rubbery. I was also disappointed by the service, which felt hurried. The place itself is modest but clean. I think it’s worth another shot since I’ve had good reports from friends, but I know now to keep my expectations in check. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at Grand India but was a bit let down. The service started well but got slow as the restaurant filled up. I ordered the biryani, which was decent but didn’t quite deliver the authentic flavors I was expecting. The raita seemed overly watered down, losing its signature creaminess. On the brighter side, the mango lassi was delicious and smooth. I might give it another try, hoping for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Loved my visit to Grand India! I ordered the chicken tikka and malai kofta, and it was exquisite! The depth of flavors really stood out. The environment was casual and simple but very comfortable for a meal with friends. Our server was efficient and friendly, which made the experience even better. I’ll be back soon for sure to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have dined here a few times, and each time has been a great experience. The food is definitely authentic; if you're looking for a true taste of India, this is the place to be. While I enjoyed the lamb vindaloo and the dosas, I did find the decor a bit lacking. It's not fancy, but that’s not what I’m here for. The staff is always warm and attentive, so I really felt welcomed. Overall, I definitely recommend giving them a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here last night and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was incredibly authentic and beautifully presented. We tried several appetizers, including the bhaji and samosas, which were outstanding. For the mains, the goat curry was rich and flavorful with just the right amount of spice. Our waiter was accommodating and gave fantastic recommendations, making our evening even better. The only thing I’d mention is the ambiance could use a bit of decor to enhance the experience, but everything else was fabulous! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who loves Indian cuisine, finding an authentic place is always a challenge, but Grand India met my expectations! The chicken biryani was incredibly fragrant, and the spices were just perfect. It really felt like I was back in India. The only downside was the wait time during peak hours, but the food makes up for it! Staff were courteous and helpful with the menu. I absolutely recommend trying their thali if you're feeling adventurous! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great find in Brookline! The samosas were delicious appetizers that left us wanting more. I ordered the korma and the flavors were on point; very authentic! The atmosphere is cozy, but it could benefit from some decorations for a lively touch. Service was quick and friendly, making us feel welcomed. I can’t wait to try more dishes on my next visit!
