13 Boston Restaurants Perfect for Takeout and Delivery

"A Fenway newcomer, Wow Tikka is an Indian bowl food spot aiming to be the next Chipotle, as the founders told the Boston Globe. That translates to build-your-own rice bowls with paneer, lamb kofta, and more, plus wraps, salads, and slider-sized, spicy vada pav sandwiches." - Erika Adams

I dined here today & everything was amazing! All of the food was so fresh & danced on my taste buds! Gopi that works here was so very kind in letting me the different sauces that varied on spice level. This spot is about 5-10 minutes away from Fenway too! For ever having Indian food before, this definitely exceeded my expectations. I ordered the chicken bowl, tandoori chicken, samosas, & vada pav. If you find yourself in the Kenmore / Fenway area, totally give this place a shot! You won’t be dissatisfied!

Average Indian food . Aloo tikki chat served with sour yogurt. Biryani had hardened rice grains which was probably cooked a day before. They don’t serve fresh food here and the taste is nothing like Indian food would recommend choosing some other restaurant. And please fix your air conditioning it was cooler outside than your restaurant inside

I ordered Veg Keema Biryani and Chicken Biryani yesterday, and I’m extremely disappointed. Both were drenched in ghee/oil to the point that it felt like I was buying oil, not biryani. The food was so greasy and unappetizing that I had to throw it away. Totally unacceptable and frustrating experience. Please work on improving the quality and balance of your dishes.

Excellent Indian food! The rice bowl is the main dish of the place. It’s like Indian Chipotle. I come here very often and have found the quality of food to be consistently good over time. Some other good dishes are: Vada Pav, Loaded fries Make sure to add the Vindaloo sauce in your rice bowl. The Tikka Masala sauce as well. Buy the mango lassi because that’s an exceptionally good drink. Decent service overall.

If I have to think of 1 thing I don’t like about Wow!! Tikka, it would be the distance. I’m sad that this place is not right next door to me. Tucked in a residential area near Fenway Park is this gem! I love how you can pick and choose your base, proteins, sauces, and toppings. It is quick, casual, and super yummy. Those meatballs are addictive but the entire meal itself is beyond fulfilling. Definitely a must visit!

I like this place. Great for quick lunch. They have spicy vindaloo which is really spicy (not fake spicy like other restaurants 🤣) I always put paneer and chicken for my wrap. So good! I brought indian friends several times and they love here too.

The idea is cool, but the bowls here didnt have much flavor and everything tasted the same. Their actual indian dishes are much better. Quantity is good for the price. Chipotle, cava, and other similar restaurants do a better job seasoning the individual parts of the bowl such as the rice, meat, and toppings. Here, the rice was plain, the meat was plain and became a chore to eat, and the toppings were just like lettuce and tomatoes (nothing really seasoned or indian). The other dishes here are better however. I would recommend people come here as long as they order from the street food menu section. Staff were nice and location is fine.

After long time we have a place in Boston that has good Indian food. I tried the bowl and chicken tandoori and both were really tasty. The price is really affordable for the quantity and quality of the food. Id recommend this place to everyone.

Wow Tikka is a real neighborhood staple! I tried the Desi Loaded Fries and the Burrito, and both were seriously delicious. The fries had just the right amount of seasoning, and the burrito was stuffed with flavorful fillings--they really know how to bring Desi flavors to life. It's a cozy spot with seating both inside and outside, which gives you some flexibility on where to sit. They've got plenty of options to choose from. The service was friendly and welcoming, which added to the whole experience. Definitely a spot to hit up if you're in the mood for something tasty and filling!

I feel like it's so hard to find casual Indian food and this restaurant offers a modern take on fast Indian food! This restaurant is in the Kenmore/Fenway area and when you enter, there's a chipotle-esque style area where you can make your own bowl or wrap. There's other menu items on top of that too! The service is quick and effienct. For food, we got a bowl, naan pizza, vada pan (spiced potato fritter sandwich), samosas. The bowl has so many customizable options so it's perfect for someone who is unsure what to get. I got it with paneer and lamb, different veggies and sauces, and it was delish! The flavors kinda got mixed together too much where it was hard to distinguish but overall good. Naan pizza was surprisingly good- crisp dough, good chicken, but still wish there was a bit more flavor. Vada pan was unlike anything I've had. I think it would've been better on its own and I think they went overkill with the spice. the actual patty was flavorful and aromatic.

Wow Tikka, nestled in Boston's vibrant Fenway area at 84 Peterborough St, offers a delightful twist on traditional Indian cuisine with its quick and casual dining setup. This spot stands out for its innovative approach to Indian food, making it both accessible and fun, perfect for a meal on the go. The standout dish during my visit was the naan kati roll filled with chicken. It was bursting with flavors, showcasing a generous mix of spices and ingredients all tightly packed into a soft naan rollup. The fusion of flavors and textures makes this dish a must-try for anyone craving a quick yet satisfying meal. Accompanying the meal was their mango lassi, which offered a sweet and creamy respite from the spiced fare. The naan pizza, another fusion creation, combined the comforting familiarity of pizza with the bold spices of Indian cuisine, creating an enjoyable and unique eating experience. Wow Tikka's model of serving allows for a personalized dining experience, differentiating it from the typical family-style service found in many Indian restaurants. Their website aptly describes the setup as "Indian food made easy and fun," and my experience echoed this sentiment. The affordability is another significant draw, with prices like $10 for a hearty bowl and $8 for a naan rollup kati offering great value. While the ambiance is simple, with a straightforward, no-frills setting reflecting its grab-and-go nature (rated 5/10), it's the food quality and prices that truly shine here, with ratings of 8/10 and 9/10 respectively. The only drawback is their limited delivery options, which unfortunately don't extend outside Boston--a minor inconvenience for those living farther away who are eager to enjoy what Wow Tikka has to offer. Overall, if you're in the Fenway area and looking for delicious, budget-friendly Indian meals with a creative twist, Wow Tikka is definitely worth a visit.

A quick to go casual place for Indian Cuisine mixed in with a few restaurants in the Fens. Wow Tikka is great for something quick and easy. I stopped on by one of the nicest and coolest days this summer and even ate outside. Literally the perfect day! Now back to the food. I tried the build a bowl with basmati rice and paneer and lamb kofta which was yummy. My friend got the chicken tikka which was two chicken legs and was $10 which felt kind of pricey but idk man. Not too busy because it was a smaller spot however a ton of to go orders coming in and out. It's a nice little spot to give the fens/fenway area a bit more options apart from all the burgers, pizza and seafood.

For fast casual Indian food, this is the place to go! So many options and such a reasonable price for a large quantity of flavorful food. Limited seating inside, but quite a bit outside if the weather is nice out. Will totally return here when I'm in the Fenway area!

Food was ok. It's kind of a chipotle meets Indian restaurant. This makes any authenticity difficult to maintain, BUT allows for some unique flavor combinations. Overall I liked this part of the experience. The premade options (samosas) were very overcooked, oily and dry. Maybe avoid these. Ambiance was ok. Its pretty small on the inside and the music the staff was playing ...wasn't my favorite and was quite loud. ‍

The food at Wow Tikka is delicious. The chicken is cooked to perfection and the vindaloo sauce is to die for. There's so many choices when it comes to make your own bowl. It's a very allergy friendly environment, all menu items containing allergens are labeled. The workers are so friendly and the service is so quick! Great choice when you need a quick bite.

On my first visit to Wow Tikka, a fast-casual spot for some Indian cravings with friends, we tried a few items: Desi Loaded Fries (4/5): The fries were well-seasoned, making them a great snacking side. Chicken Tikka (2/5): Unfortunately, the chicken tikka was a bit of a letdown with its small portion and dry texture. Bowl (3/5): The bowl was okay overall. The ingredients were extremely fresh. Although the meat was dry, the sauce added much more flavor. Overall, the bowl is a decent choice for a quick and budget-friendly meal. Despite a little blip where our order got forgotten, the server made up for it with some complimentary samosas, which was a nice gesture. The service, apart from that slip, was extremely friendly. The restaurant, though small, had enough seating for us. Considering the reasonable prices, the food wasn't bad!

This is a small cozy place with great food. I was looking for something light but Indian and came across this place. It's a mix of chipotle kind of construct ( made to order bowl or burrito) but also has the regular Indian street food.. the chats and the pavs. I ordered a chicken taco, yeah the Indian version of the popular Mexican dish. Loved the taste and texture. I also had a vada paav with masala chai. Mmm yummy all the way! Loved it and will certainly return next time I am in Boston.

My second time here, the first time was for a Yelp Elite event. Great experience both times! Vibe: Small cafe, indoor and outdoor seating available. Service: Very good! They let us sample the sauce options before choosing. Food: I got a build your own bowl both times I came and both were delicious! Very hearty food, fresh, quality ingredients, I especially loved the chickpeas, chicken, beets, and the carrot slaw. The mango lassi was delicious! Value: Menu prices were very on point, about $10 + extra for certain proteins for a pretty loaded bowl. Both times I went in hungry and ended up full with a portion leftover to eat later. Other: There is limited 2 hour parking in front (metered) and some free 2 hour parking in the surrounding streets Overall would definitely recommend, good value for good food with good service, this place is 10/10

Such a good Indian fast food spot in Fenway! We came here on a snowy weekday and the employees were so accommodating and helpful in introducing their toppings/sauces/bases. I felt like I had a great understanding of all my options, and I ended up so happy with my choices! I feel like you can't go wrong with any combos here. We even got complementary warm chai, perfect for the cold day. They have so many options, I would absolutely come here again for an easy lunch or dinner!

Awesome spot! If you are looking for a healthy and delicious way to enjoy Indian food, you might want to try a modern health Indian bowl. This is a bowl that contains a variety of ingredients, such as rice, beans, vegetables, protein, and sauces, that are inspired by Indian cuisine. You can customize your bowl according to your preferences and dietary needs. Modern health Indian bowls are a great way to enjoy the flavors and benefits of Indian food without compromising on nutrition or taste. The bowls here are packed with so much flavor from sweet to spicy all in one place. Service was excellent. They have a few tables indoors and outdoors. Indoors is comfortable with AC and Indian music playing in the background. Parking can be challenging here but it is next to a bunch of awesome food options on the strip.

WOW. Just WOW. This spot is a MUST visit and truly one of the best restaurants I've been too - period. We got a chicken bowl with mango lassi. I've been to many Indian restaurants and wow - every bite was savored. The bowls are HUGE (can feed two!) and their veggies and meats/sauces are so very flavorful. Every bite was refreshing, healthy, flavorful, and unique. The price is also SO shockingly cheap. If I lived in Boston, I'd be here multiple times a week. Do yourself a favor and visit!!

Wow Tikka is a delicious fast-food Indian restaurant serving up classic Indian street food as well many modern, fast-casual options such as burritos and bowls. It is located close to Fenway, which means parking is very hard to find if you're not a resident. The restaurant itself is small and only has a handful of tables, which works well for the type of fast-food options they are serving. I've done takeout twice and enjoyed the food both times. I've only tried the classic, fast-food items as that is what I'm most familiar with and have been recently craving. The items I've tried so far are the aloo tikka chaat, samosa chaat, and vada pav. Both chaats were delicious and really hit the spot in what I was expecting in terms of ingredients and flavor. Pomegranate seeds would have been a nice touch but the dishes were still great without them. The vada pav was also delicious but a little bit salty; it has the right consistency and taste but could have done with a little less salt. Nonetheless, I would definitely give it another try. So what best sums up the food at Wow Tikka? So beautiful, so elegant, just tasting like a wow!

Great place if you want a quick casual but delicious meal, this is the Indian version of restaurants like Chipotle, Dig, Cava. Each bite is definitely flavorful and you can get a lot of different yummy toppings! The bowls are so colorful too and overall just yummy. Also don't sleep on the Lassi! Parking might be a little hard, but plently of seating indoor and out

The bowls trend goes Indian. Surprisingly delicious! I wasn't sure how flavors like tikka masala would go all the usual veggie toppings plus some unique ones like carrot slaw and shredded beets, but I liked it! They also let you sample all the sauces. I went half and half for a base of salad greens and brown rice w/ quinoa, and again for proteins - the veg ones of kafta (balls like falafel) and paneer were good, though the kafta was not totally mild (I had asked for everything but this to make sure I was getting nothing spicy). Gianna (chickpeas) is the other veg protein. The staff were very friendly and helpful, patiently asking if I wanted each of the toppings and sauces (there's a lot!).

This is a great fast-casual spot with good quality food, affordable prices, and extremely kind staff. The portions are large for the build-your-own which start at $9.99. You can either get a wrap, salad, basmati rice, or brown rice and quinoa. The vegetarian fillings include aloo and chana but you can also get other proteins like chicken ($2), meatballs ($2), lamb ($4), paneer ($1), or veg kofta ($1) for an extra cost. They have various sauces, cold toppings, and chutneys that you can add as well. I tried their chicken and chana with tikka masala and spicy vindaloo sauce. The chicken was very moist and both sauces were super flavorful! My server was generous with the amount of rice, chicken, and chana he gave me. For my toppings I got their cucumber and tomato salad which was fresh and crispy. It is very difficult to find lunch/dinner options under $15 these days. You can tell that the employees are super proud of their food. Wow Tikka is such a great addition to the neighborhood!

Quick, convenient, kind staff, and DELICIOUS. What more can you ask for? I ordered a bowl and it was filled to the brim with delicious Indian food. The employees were super welcoming and helpful, especially because this was my first time here. I got a chicken and aloo bowl with tikka masala and a bunch of toppings. Their concept is like any other build your own bowl restaurant and I love how customizable it is! There are also lots of options to choose from! Come check this place out! You will not be disappointed :)

Really tasty and flavorful bowls. Have tried the chicken tikka and lamb kofta. Both were great. The chicken is simple and delicious. The kofta is like little lamb meatballs that are really juicy and well seasoned. The madras sauce is delicious and all the toppings are fresh. A really great spot for a quick and casual lunch or other meal.

A great fast-food hole in the wall restaurant in Fenway. Perfect to grab a quick bite. My friends and I come here after workouts perfect recovery food. It reminded me of an Indian Chipotle. There were plenty of options. My favorite was the tikka masala rice bowl. The only minor issue I had was that the sauce is where the bulk of the flavor comes from. Meaning some bites taste more bland than others.

This place is like an Indian Chipotle. You can order bowls, wraps, entrees or appetizers. The employees are very friendly and will help answer any questions. Everything is super filling and all the food is fresh. Tried loaded fries and a burrito wrap. Everything was delicious and all the toppings were yummy.

I love Wow Tikka. Have been there couple times and it has always been an amazing experience. It is basically an Indian Chipotle concept style of food . Choose your bowl or wrap , protein , toppings , sauces etc. and top it off. The proteins range from Chole (chickpea), Jeera aloo (cumin potatoes) to chicken and lamb meatballs and vegan meatballs. Their sauces are actually different curry sauces for that authentic feeling. Yes it is quite different and modified than actually curries to fit the food but tasty none the less. I have had their Tandoori chicken which is amazing as well as vada pav. I believe Gopi is the manager there and he is the nicest guy so are the staff. he is always smiling and helping customers understand the items if needed. i seen it couple times now. Overall great place to go for quick lunch or healthy dinner and enjoy the freshness of the ingredients

Was excited to try the newest addition to the neighborhood, and Wow Tikka didn't disappoint! It's a casual space with both tables and window seating. I ordered a bowl with basmati rice, chicken, and khorma. There are additional toppings and sauces so I pointed at a few that looked appetizing. I also asked for a cup of water, which the cashier brought over to our table after we sat down. It'd be nice for the bowl options to be labeled clearly, but that's my only complaint. The food tasted very fresh and flavorful. I appreciate that there are different options for different spice tolerances as well. The service was friendly, and an employee even came up to ask us how our meal was. This was my first time having fast casual Indian food, and it makes me wonder how this isn't more common. I enjoyed my meal, but with so many options just on Peterborough St. alone, I'm not sure it'd be my top choice. Regardless, I'd happily tag along if any of my friends wanted to try this place out!

Such a good Indian spot! Wow Tikka's unique menu puts a fun, modern spin on classic Indian flavors. The Desi loaded fries were incredible, I'm literally still drooling over them, and it's so fun to be able to build your own bowl. I did chicken and chickpeas and was able to put tikka masala and vindaloo sauces on top- like where else can you combine those? Highly recommend this spot for a new take on Indian food.

First comment is the location: This is one of many quality food places on the Peterborough strip but the only Indian place in the Fenway area. WoW Tika is 2-3 blocks from Fenway park, so a great place to go when the Park is hopping and you want something fast and tasty before an event. I ordered the bowl with meatballs, brown rice and a number of the many sides they ordered. The server was very helpful to recommend the sides and the sauces, so I leaned on him for the right combo and sauces to add. I had not thought to add cabbage or onions to the dish, but at his recommendation, I did and both added a nice kick of flavor and texture to the bowl. At first I wondered if the amount would be sufficient. However it was only when I started to eat that I realized how wide and deep the bowl was. These are good portions.! I would go here again and would recommend this as a nice take away place for folks at the Fenway.

Love how you can customize your experience, and order ahead online so all you need to do is pick it up. My bowl was flavorful, fresh, and decently tasty, and was an excellent choice for a weekday lunch that filled me up without dragging me down.

I ordered Wow Tikka on UberEats and I would definitely recommend! They were actually running a Buy One, Get One Free special on a bunch of the dishes, so I decided to try some of those out. The tandoori chicken was delicious, although I'm sure it would have been even better served hot. The chicken was cooked nicely and had a good flavor to it, and even came with a bit of sauce on the side. I was impressed by the bowl, which was customizable. Since I already ordered the chicken, I opted for a vegetarian bowl, which included potatoes and chickpeas. The potatoes were delicious, although a bit greasy. I really enjoyed the sauce on the chickpeas as well. Definitely a cool alternative to the Mexican and Greek bowls I've tried from other fast casual places.

Came here for a Yelp elite event and was blown away at how simple and tasty the food is. Think chipotle style fast food Indian. The staff were incredibly nice as I took my time and explained everything that was offered. The amount of food can feed me for two meals! I love all the toppings and veggies that are offered. Feels like this is a healthy meal

Wow Tikka was exceptional! Starting from the time we walked in and we're immediately greeted. Acknowledgement when you walk into an establishment is huge in my book and we received a genuine friendly welcome. Then into the food - Wow is a good description. The person helping us explained how the bowls were made and the multiple choices were described and samplings offered to help us make our decisions. I chose the half chicken half paneer with tiki masala and coconut curry, mint chutney sauce on top. jy mouth was alive with delicious flavors. I highly recommend and will be going back this week already lol. Great food, love the build your own bowl style.

Just the meal I needed today! Fresh salad toppings, perfectly cooked chicken, and sauces bursting with flavor. I got a half n half of chicken and paneer bowl with different sauces and loved all of it. Can't wait to try the other stuff on the menu. Service was amazing too. I think I've found my new favorite spot!

WOW I was dreaming of T swizzle (Taylor swift) when I suddenly had a craving for modern Indian food at a bistro. I specifically wanted a chipotle-style bowl. As a solitary student in the Boston area, it can be hard to get a single serving of Indian food. Alas, I was heartbroken that such a place didn't exist. I confronted my lover who was largely indifferent to my plight as he can cook Indian food for himself. BUT one day, out of the blue, I got a text from the said lover. It said WOW we should go this place. I was like hell yeah. We went and the food was impeccable! 10/10 would recommend. Tell your kids, family and friends. And cats too. PS it can be healthy but it doesn't have to be. PPS get gulab jamun after a Red Sox game, it'll hit different

Unfortunately, they missed a number of parts of my order: mint sauce, cucumber salad, and added an extra spicy sauce that I wasn't able to eat. Since it was take out, I didn't realize until I got home. :( I imagine the food is wonderful - it smelled great! My husband enjoyed his.

I visited wow!! tikka about a month after it opened, and it's safe to say I'll be back sooner rather than later. The perfect takeout spot and super well located within the Fenway neighborhood - I have no doubt this is going to be a huge hit among the many students that live right around the corner! The food is so clearly made with love - and with the freshest ingredients! I spoke with the owner during my visit, and he was able to tell me every ingredient of every dish I got to try. He spoke with pride and for good reason - it was some of the best Indian food I've had in a long time! My #1 favorite here was definitely the chicken & chana whole wheat wrap. Every bite had a mouthwatering combination of chicken, chickpeas, a perfectly proportioned spice blend, pickled onions, and mango sauce. The portion was generous (I had half for lunch and the other half for dinner the next day - it kept perfectly fresh!) but not overdone. Perfect for an on-the-go meal! The cold madras coffee was also delicious - it's a sweet chicory flavored beverage that had the richest chocolatey undertones. Such a unique, delicious flavor buzz - if anything, I'll definitely be coming back for this drink! Thanks to wow!! tikka for such a great visit. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a healthy, flavorful on-the-go lunch or dinner in the Fenway area!

Great service and tasty food. Came in on a weekday night and it was quite busy with almost all the tables full. It's like Cava but Indian food, you choose your base, protein, sauce, and toppings. There's also a lot of different sides and drinks to order from.

This restaurant filled a space missing in Boston's culinary scene- Indian Fast Casual with a build-your-own twist. The restaurant is well-priced for the quality and quantity of food. As someone well-versed in Indian food and also a big fan of build-your-own burrito restaurants, I knew I had to try this new spot. Here's what I got: Vegetarian Bowl- with White Rice, Aloo, Chana, (additional $2) Veg Kofta with the Tikka Masala Sauce and a variety of toppings. Beautifully crafted and a great amount of food in the bowl. The options are wonderful, authentic, and very vegan/vegetarian friendly. The only qualm I have is the depth of flavor seemed slightly lacking in the Tikka Masala but this was likely due to the fact that I had 3 main "proteins" and lots of other toppings to get the full flavor. The bowl was tasty and lasted multiple meals. (9.5/10) Vegetable Samosa- Crispy outside and stuffed with great flavor, especially great with the tamarind chutney. (9/10) Naan- My favorite thing to do at BYO burrito places is to get a side tortilla and, here, I tried the same thing with the naan! It wasn't much like an authentic stone-fired naan, slightly closer to a roti, but perfect for this type of Indian fast casual especially for those getting the wraps. The naan had a great flavor and size, definitely get it with your bowls to have a full Indian cuisine experience! (8.5/10) Overall, this place is a gem in Boston that we are lucky to have. The customizable aspect is a fresh take on most people's experiences with Indian food. They are great at explaining the ingredients and the website has a good amount of information too. I'll definitely be back! I would definitely recommend it especially for people with dietary restrictions like vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free!

Desi loaded fries with chicken- fresh, large portion, perfect for sharing. So flavorful! Turmeric chai latte- best chai latte in Fenway area, sweet but not overwhelming, can appreciate spices in tea So busy during the two nights I stopped by! Great customer service. Will keep coming back!!

Fast-casual food that does not compromise value, flavor, or nutrition at all! My bowl was $10 and full of toppings, veggies, starches, beans, sauces - all the works! The menu is not just purely "build your own" bowls or burritos, as there are "street food" options, of which we got the vada pav (very spicy), kathi rolls, and desi loaded fries. They also have convenient online ordering. I would definitely order from here again!

I had a wonderful time here! The environment is comfortable and casual. I had a custom rice bowl with paneer and veg kofta. All the food tasted really fresh and the sauces and toppings were delicious. What really impressed me here was the service. I went with a friend and when we were ordering at the counter they didn't make us feel rush at all. They let us test the sauces and did a good job explaining what we could put in our bowls. Often at restaurants where you order at the counter and pick your ingredients I feel rushed and like they expect you to know what everything is, but not here. And when we were enjoying our meals at our table one of the staff members came up to us and said they were testing some new recipes in the kitchen and asked if we would like to sample. They brought out a delicious chicken recipe, and asked us what we thought about it. Everyone was beyond friendly and created a memorable experience.

my Bengali husband and I had an unbelievable meal delivered from WowTikka. he loves his Indian food, but finding healthier options has been tough. Nothing was sacrificed for healthy in this meal. I had the bowl full of great greens and veggies with the chicken meat balls, he had the wrap also full of veggies and tikka chicken. we both absolutely loved the lighter take, as usually we way overdo an indi meal to the point of needing an immediate nap. can't wait to take our kids and grandkids for a Sunday brunch
