Excellent recommendation of the lamb curry from the lunch menu! The Garlic Nan was like an appetizer/ bread with the meal/ desert all in one dish, just depends on which chutney you use

One of my favorite restaurants! I love ❤️ the buffet because I can try a little of everything. If you like mango I highly recommend these mango lassi drink. Also, family that runs the restaurant is so polite and kind. Vegetarian options!

I had the mutter paneer. The host was accommodated to add in broccoli to the mix as well. They have two benches on the outside to eat as dine in was closed. Would definitely be a visit again

Although, closed but for takeout, our experience at Mother India was wonderful. The staff was very welcoming and we were able to order while we waited outside. The food was delicious and very flavorful. If I could rate this as six stars I would!

While returning to new Hampshire, stopped here for lunch. It was sunday and no dine in option so we take out just biryanis. It was really fast service . The biryani was really decent but it was not dum biryani which owner cleared to us pretty well. The owner was really good . She even given kheer to us without charge. Felt really great.

Not too bad. They were very nice, fast and the food was pretty good. Malai Kofta was delicious as well as the samosa.

Garbage Indian food. Let go the authenticity, this food lacks culture. I can ignore authenticity, but lack of culture is unforgivable. Maybe they are surviving because the community they are catering to doesn’t have exposure to real Indian food. Over priced for the portions.
