South Indian Restaurant Arrives in Somerville With Dozens of Dosas and Samosas - Eater Boston

"India Palace, a longstanding Somerville restaurant specializing in North Indian and Punjabi cuisine, transformed into a South Indian restaurant this month, joining a family of restaurants across the country. Now open as Godavari Mini (23 Union Sq., Somerville), the restaurant serves dozens of biryani, dosa, and tandoori dishes, and there’s also a small selection of Chinese-inspired noodle and fried rice dishes. With a wide selection of both vegetarian and meat entrees, Godavari Mini also serves a daily lunch buffet and provides catering services. Dishes include samosas, chicken lollipops, aloo gobi (potato with cauliflower), chicken vindaloo, shrimp curry, paneer biryani, chapathi and other breads, and lassi yogurt beverages." - Dana Hatic

Fantastic garlic naan...nice and garlicy,light and crispy. Shame it came out almost 10 minutes after the rest of my food did. Palak paneer was creamy and tasty. The lamb madras (chicken madras is on the menu but they made up a lamb one for me) was a bit bland. I'm in a run of mediocre curries at the moment unfortunately!

Amazing food! Started with a delicious and perfectly spiced Samosa Chaat followed by Chicken Vindaloo and Chicken Korma. Both meals came with white rice and we ordered Garlic Naan and Chabata!! The Vindaloo was the perfect amount of spicy. Enough to give you a kick but not enough to make it hurt! The entire meal was fantastic. Rivaled any Indian I've had anywhere I've traveled. India Palace will be a must eat destination for all my future Boston trips!

Awesome place. Best Indian buffet in town while also being the most affordable. Best cost/benefit hands down. I come here every week. The food variety is great. Really good and consistent. I love the naan, always warm and nicely toasted.

This place is phenomenal!! From the service to the host to the cook. Food is made fresh everyday in timely fashion. The cook bring all the spices together making the food so enjoyable to eat. I’ve came here when I first moved to Somerville..and kept coming back. Hands down to the chef for making a delicious veggie plate for my friend.

I have to be honest as I hope they change for the better so I offer advice. Create a better atmosphere. Don't be rude and be more pleasant to your customers so that they feel welcomed rather than it's a torturous duty for us to pay you for food and friendly service. You should put the Indian music to create a peaceful atmosphere as the guy who works lunches and staff seem to have become more rude and tell Indian jokes perhaps about their customer. The buffet is never replenished or moved around to that it stays hot. They do the minimum and you always have to ask for everything. I used to love you, but you have done me wrong. Where is the buffet program? Why not reward regulars?????

Excellent lunch buffet that is actually a very good deal too, highly recommend checking it out for a weekday lunch or a lazy Saturday! Good mix of classic dishes, including vegetarian options. You even get fresh baked Naan with every buffet 👍 Dinner menu is also extremely good - this is my go to Indian place whether I'm eating in or taking out.

I want to shout out India palace excellent delivery service! My family would order one of their dinner for two specials, either vegetarian or with meat entrees, both of which are best values at this place, and our food always arrived hot, and usually well before the modest delivery estimate they would give us. The restaurant experience is very good as well but the take out and delivery service here is really on point!

Great Resturant! The garlic naan comes nice and warm. You don't even need anything new to eat it with. The food is very flavorful, not spicy like other places I've been at that give me indigestion. This food is great! The selection is great! When I'm not in the mood for a dish with meat I can have a vegetarian dish that is filling and delicious. I love the mango lassie!!! So creamy. I eat here so often I recommend it to all my friends.
