NACHLO

We had the philly cheesesteak, wings, chicken fingers and nachos here. Owners were very welcoming. Food was decent too. Overall, a good experience.

I just loved that butter chicken so creamy and tasty. The place is so clean from inside have a counter sitting and also family style tables

Great variety and taste! The very best combos, so you won't be disappointed!

I have been there just recently. The place is under new management. And they have changed their menu. They have amazing burgers and indian desserts. 👌 Must try

The nice owner allowed me to use the bathroom without buying anything. He saved my day. I think he just purchased the place. Thank god for such a wonderful kind person. Unfortunately, I just ate so I just got some drinks. I will definitely come by next time I’m in Boston. 🙏🙏🙏

Ordered Chana Masala. The chickpeas were completely mushy, almost like a gravy. Didn’t seem fresh. As if it was old and reheated in the pan. I watched them reheat the rice in the microwave. And the Aloo Naan lacked flavor. It was late and was looking for a vegan option. Completely disappointed. I wasted $20. I couldn’t eat any of it all. Upside is the staff was very polite. Never going there again though.

Awesome taste Chapli kabab must try

biriyani is good becz it was different taste like nizam biriyani … goat curry was awesome .. mild spicy … feel little hot inside the shop…. staff are humble …. u have kulfi, sprite over there …. atmosphere is good

When you hear the tagline: Pakistani meets Mexican food, you expect an explosion of creation and flavor, but sadly this place isn't as innovative. I will give it a pure 4-star rating for the hole-in-the-wall Pakistani food and for the sweet family that owns it. The combinations of pakistani/mexican food aren't as good in flavor. This is my go-to place to grab a samosa on rainy days to dip it into that Maggi hot sauce (ifykyk). I also recommend the Chicken Botti (well cooked on the tandoor and available at any time of day) and naan +/- biryani. The prices are reasonable and the staff/family is so sweet and friendly. Bonus points if you can speak Hindi with the Uncle.

This place was recommended by multiple people for authentic Pakistani food. I decided to try it out via UberEats. I ordered Chicken Botti, Chicken Biryani, and Beef Nihari. As a Pakistani myself, I definitely questioned the food when I saw the Nihari came with a side RICE and I had to order a Naan separately. Very odd. Eat your Nihari with Naan..not rice! Please owners..if you're reading this.. beef Nihari with side naan not rice. Other than that, the food was great. Probably the best desi food available in the Boston area. The biryani came with Raita that they call Nachlo sauce. The botti spice level can go up a couple of notches. Will definitely be back!

A small restaurant! Don't be fooled by how it is when you walk in. First impressions are less than ideal, until your food arrives. Their goat biryani came highly recommended, and it was excellent. Their seekh kababs and chapli kababs were above average (we settled for chicken, because they were out of beef). Their halwa was great, but they were out of poori's. They need to fix the seating area inside and also the overall look of the restaurant a bit, because their food and service are both outstanding. Sweet and courteous owners. Fast service. Reasonably priced.

Continues to be one of my most favorite Pakistani restaurants in Boston! Great taste every time! They now deliver through Uber eats and DoorDash which has allowed me to try almost everything on their menu- and I can say, everything is heavenly! Uncle also does chargha on some weekends. It's best to call and find out when he's making it, you can then place an order online or over the phone and have it delivered/pick up

Taste was ok. We ordered the Nihari , chicken seekh and Papri chaat. They all tasted mediocre.

Amazing service, just went for class and I felt so welcomed once I entered staff looking and greeting me with a smile. Once I ordered I had a nice conversation with the cashier and he was very engaging. I only ordered garlic naan because I love to dip it into my soup at home and when I told him this he gave me kinda a funny face but once I got my food he said he had thrown in some butter chicken for me :) (little did he know I AM OBSESSED with buttered chicken). The ambiance was good small staff made you see that they love their restaurant, will definitely bring my roommates next time!

I am so happy to have found this place. My parents and I stopped in on our way home from an out of town excursion. We heard about Nachlo and were intrigued. From the moment we walked in until the moment we finished our food, we were pleased. The aroma in the restaurant was perfect and I knew the food was going to be good. There is a special smell when Desi food is made right. We spoke with the owner who was happily making dishes along side a couple of other men who were working. One of those other men recognized us from another restaurant that we occasionally pick up kebabs from. That place also makes delicious food. We knew that if he worked there previously, this food was going to be delicious. We ordered a variety of dishes from chicken biriyani to seekh kebab, chapli kebab, chicken tikka, lamb barbacoa quesadilla, naan, and paratha. All of it was excellent. Spicy and delicious! The heat level was quite high. We were wondering how our firangi friends could handle this level of spice. It was so good. The prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly. The food is a treat for your tastebuds. Everything was good, but the lamb barbacoa quesadilla was my favorite. The way that the meat is spiced is so good. I want more of this. I will happily go back to Nachlo. My parents will as well. We don't normally eat Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi food from a restaurant because we cook it at home. Nachlo is a nice option to have. Please support this business. I want to see them do well.

We came here expecting great things me and my husband love both Pakistani and Mexican cuisine but right when we walked in we got bad vibes the service was not good they kept staring at us when we asked a question , we got the nachos and burrito and it was horrible no flavor I felt like I had covid because no taste in either of those items. Plus they ran out of hot sauce. Food is bland and service is bad I would not recommend.

The lamb barbacoa burrito is phenomenal! The place overall is very good, will be returning to try the rest of the menu. Staff is very courteous with great service.

Very inconsistent. The value and quality of food is just not that great. I ordered twice via Ubereats and both times my order included the wrong item and missing sauces and other add ons.

Terrible food. Ordered a chicken tikka, whcih took 30 minutes to prepare. When I opened to eat, every piece of chicken was completely charred, and I could barely extract a dry piece of highly salty meat from a few, if that. The rice was both undercooked and dry. Salad was some taste-free pieces of greens stuck in a corner of the box. It landed in the trash can fast. Let's not insult Pakistani food by calling whatever is being sold here that.

Nachlo is a Mexican & Pakistani Take Out Restaurant. Had the chicken & rice with pesto sauce. It was delicious!!! Highly Recommend

Fantastic spot hidden away with a very unique menu. I've gotten delivery a few times and went in for a sit down meal. It's a very hole in the wall vibe and no frills at all. The food is out of this work though. We got the chicken biryani, a chicken curry, samosas and naan. Everything was flavorful, fresh and timely. I'd love to go back and try the Mexican food which I'm sure will be amazing as well.

Had the chicken skewers, biryani, and a samosa. Very tasty! I'll have to go back for a burrito -- I wanted to see what the "regular" Pakistani food was like first!

I live right around the corner and Nachlo makes the outrageous Boston rent that I'm paying worth it. I ordered three kebabs, which are $1.99 each expecting them to be like your typical string of meat on a skewer. Instead, I got three delicious rolls of chicken (think jumbo hot dog size) and they even threw in a side of rice for free! While I was waiting for the food, the owners of the store were so fun to talk to and happy to let me try samples of some really spicy sauces and sides. As someone who has had a hard time finding restaurants in Boston that know what I mean when I say that I want my food spicy, I can really appreciate an establishment that can make me cry tears of spicy, spicy joy.

Lived in Mission Hill for 2 years and finally tried this place. Service was awesome! Got to try Plov, which isnt on the menu but was really good. Definitely worth a visit if you want to try some Pakistani food.

EXCELLENT Delicious Burrito "The Best Chicken I've Ever Had In A Burrito!" -My Wife The Curry Chicken I Had Was Incredible I Could Have It As My Last Meal They Have Sodas And Fridge Drinks The Chips! Very Friendly Staff I Wish I Lived Closer So I Could Try Everything They Make I'll Be Back

Had high expectations after reading some reviews but very disappointed to say the least. Biryani had no flavor. Chapli kabob also tasted very bland. Asked for garlic naan and received a plain naan. Won't be back unfortunately.

we accidentally stumbled on Nachlo because we were looking for best halal food and we came from Maryland. The owner and staff are amazing and food was fresh and yummy. loved the freshly made chicken kabab and chutney and fresh lassi was cherry on top. will come back to it if we ever visit Boston again

I love Indian and Mexican food, and regularly make myself curry burritos, so Mexican-Pakistani food is right in my comfort zone. We had a veggie quesadilla and a grilled chicken burrito, both delicious. I love all the fresh and pickled vegetables that are part of their regular toppings. The burrito is gigantic, requiring two hands, a good deal in Boston. This place is pretty plain and small but I will definitely go there again.

Excellent food!! The guy at the kitchen, Muhammad, is amazing! God bless them for bringing flavor to Boston!

The staff was attentive and made our visit enjoyable by clearing off a larger table and sharing details on what was in each dish. The food was really good, too! Suggestion to sell t-shirts with your restaurant's fun name.

Lukewarm soggy burrito. Food seemed old and the restaurant was dirty and left me concerned. Employees were not wearing masks.

Nachlo is a tiny, unassuming, hole-in-the-wall, but is worth checking out at least once. I live in the Mission Hill area, and have passed by this place a few times, and been intrigued by the novel concept of Mexican-Pakistani fusion cuisine. Finally, my friends and I decided to grab some takeout. Having had no idea how these two seemingly incompatible cuisines could be blended, I have to say, I was left even more confused after looking at the menu. It seems to be primarily traditional Pakistani dishes, with a section of Mexican options like quesadillas and tacos. There were many dessert options that had Indian and Mexican selections, along with tiramisu and baklava (?!?). The one item on the menu that most intrigued us was the Nachos. There was a variety of options to customize your nachos and we ended up picking the chana masala (chickpeas), pico de Gallo, cucumbers, onions, shredded cheese, and cheddar cheese. How could a traditional indian dish (chana masala) be combined with cheese sauce and tortilla chips?? When we picked up our order and got ready to eat, we had no idea what we were in for. The nachos were AMAZING. The chana masala alone was perfectly spiced (but mild), thick, and flavorful. The cheddar cheese sauce was creamy and queso-esque. And somehow, the combo of those two, with the salty and slightly soggy tortilla chips was perfect. The additional toppings didn't contribute too much flavor-wise, but added a crunch and balanced out the other heavy ingredients. Overall, the nachos look like nachos, but taste like chaat, a popular Indian appetizer. These nachos should be their signature dish, and they're a missed opportunity to be the restaurant's namesake. As for the entrees we all got, most of them were hits. The chicken biryani, chicken keema, and chicken jalfrezi were all great according to my friends. The garlic naan was interesting-definitely not the typical naan you see at other Indian restaurants, and it may have been more of the Pakistani-style naan, but it was very good regardless and freshly made to order. I ordered the butter chicken (basic, I know), and it was also unlike the normal dish at Indian restaurants. This butter chicken was very heavy on the turmeric, and that was the prevailing flavor profile. After my initial shock, I grew to like it. The chicken itself was perfectly cooked and tender, which is hard to find. There was an abundance of chicken and the ratio of chicken to gravy was perfect. The price ended up being around $60 for 4 people (with a 20% discount for first-timers if you order directly from their website), which was very affordable. However, the portion sizes of the entrees was on the small side compared to other Indian restaurants. I would definitely recommend trying out the delicious nachos, and expanding your palate at Nachlo.

Great food, service, and Prices. I had the chicken tikka bowl. It was amazing. Friendly staff. Will come back for sure.

I had the butter chicken and my friend had the chicken tikka - they were both bomb! The chai was also delicious. I didn't try the Mexican side of the menu, but the Pakistani dishes that we tried were solid. I would suggest ordering online for pickup instead of in store because the food took a while to prepare!

Amazing food, highly recommend! We really enjoyed this authentic Pakistani cuisine and can't wait to go back next time we're in Boston!

It's funny all the bad review is people getting Mexican food. This place is really about authentic Pakistani food. Boston is awesome for gems like this one. The haleem is made after 9hrs of brewing. The hint of meat and spicy. Mmmmm. We also got the butter chicken. Yummmmmm

I was somewhat skeptical going in, but the lamb barbacoa burrito tasted fantastic! Looking forward to trying other things from this place. Check this place out!

Great atmosphere and delicious authentic Pakistani food. Saeed the owner makes the best host and always wore a beautiful smile!

This place is Amazing. Food is fresh and the taste is outstanding. Portions and sizes are reasonable. If you go there try Chicken tikka boti, biryani, their quesadillas, chapli kabab, samosa, pakorai and dont forget Chai. Mr. Syed is an amazing host.

Was so excited about visiting this spot and am beyond disappointed. Ordered online, when we got there, they hadn't even begun to prepare it. Over-priced for tiny servings. $10 plates come with very little meat and no rice or side. Don't understand why they bother use a large container for the chicken as it barely filled 1/3. Butter chicken was oily. The picture shows what $20 got me.

Stopped in here on a late night whim. We were skeptical, given the unusual combination, but it was delicious! We had the quesadilla and burrito, both with chana masala. We will be back!

This place is so good. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for Pakistani food.

Terrible in listening to directions on UberEats, skimps in cheese and is just unmelted and shredded, no sour cream or guacamole or sauce results in super dry food and gives no utensils. Dissapointing. 1/5

I have to say that this place is deceiving. Who would've thought Mexican and Pakistani would be a place to go to. We were starving and needed to eat, so we gave this place a try. Glad we did. Huge portions, great service, good food, we will definitely come again.

The food was not that fresh and tasty. The service was okay. We ordered Biryani and burritos. They were not good at all

YOU MUST TRY THIS! I was recently invited to meet some friends here for a meal and never having food from Pakistan before, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. But whatever expectation I didn't even know I had was blown away...WOW. We tried a variety of things: the rice, the Chana Masala, Butter Chicken, Goat Biryany, and Chicken Seekh Kabob. All of these were flavorful and not too spicy. The star of the entire meal was the boneless Chicken Tikka! It was so juicy, flavorful, with a slight spicy kick. You can taste the flavor throughout the tender meat. The meat tastes so fresh. I couldn't get enough. I had to order a plateful to go. I shared with my friends, family and colleagues at work the next day and everyone was hooked. I cannot stop thinking about this chicken since I had it last week and can't wait to get a chance to go back just for that. I can eat the chicken as it is, but to offset the spice you might want to eat it with rice or bread. Whatever your choice, YOU MUST EAT IT. The owner is humble and very kind. The restaurant space is simple and unassuming, with very little seating, which makes it best for take-out. But you don't want to skip out on this gem. TRY IT, NOW!

Their biryanis are good, even though they microwave it for you to eat. One thing that I didn't really like was that the cooks did not wear any face covering/PPE when preparing the food. Not really ideal for the pandemic going on.

Food is okay but terrible service. Waited to get our food for dining in. Waited for so long. Whatever they made for us, they gave out to people who ordered online. At the end when I ask for what we ordered, they said they will make a new one. Terrible terrible service.

So.. visiting Boston from New York, looking for a halal place to eat at and came across this place. And wow! I ordered the chicken quesadilla (Kaisay diya) :P and it came out great. Owners and worker was super nice and friendly. Felt like home. Food is delish. Will deff come back :)

Ordered take out chicken Tika masala, biryani, chicken kabobs! Loved their selection and the variety to chose from. The flavoring was on point and one of the best chicken kabobs I've ever had.

Phenomenal food! I was extremely impressed and will absolutely order from this restaurant over and over again. I'm looking forward to trying more dishes but their chicken soft tacos were amazing. I also ordered the chicken tikka and the grilled chicken nachos, really amazing food!

What a mix here?! Although they have more "pakistani" foods than mexican i'd say and more authentic pakistani foods perhaps. Taste is actually not that strong in flavor but the spice of it definitely! I felt really full and ache after eating little bit of biryani & chicken curry which's a surprise as I usually can eat a fair amount of different indian/pakistani dishes combined.Lack of availability on some of the foods listed on the menu is something a little discouraging. Chicken curry, not very pleasant having to pick out little chicken bones consistently while eating. Half of my box is bones, also that means not much meat at all...so won't try that again unless they change that up. Recommended: Their nan was very good and the biryani is quite different to those i've tried before.

The Mexican food products served here--the "nachos," "quesadillas"--are...interesting. To be fair, I found their nachos fully edible, yet deviant from my conception of Nachos in ways that it is not easy to describe. However, the Pakistani items are delicious! I love their biriyani and kebabs. A regular take out spot for me.

Overall, solid. The place itself looks pretty uninviting, but the food is definitely worth at least a try. Aside from the various south Asian dishes they have the aforementioned fusion items like burritos and quesadillas. These are great because there's tons of options here that you would not be able to find anywhere near here. That being said, they do come at about the average price of a burrito around here (high) and can sometimes feel underfilled. The flavors are consistent though and if you like spicy or saucy or different I'd say it's worth a try.

Had the lamb barbacoa burrito with just rice, beans, cheese and salsa. Highly recommend and will definitely be getting it again!

Amazing! Workers were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious and affordable! Best Mexican in Boston

My boyfriend and myself went here after a concert and we're very pleased. The food was phenomenal, I ordered the chicken kabobs and was blown away by how fresh and tasteful it was, not to mention the affordability and cleanliness of the establishment! My boyfriend got a burrito and was very pleased, large portions and good fresh food. We will most definitely be back!
