Nice low key cafe with good, straightforward food. Friendly and fast service, and the price per portion was good. Not the most elevated place but nice to grab a meal at.

The Chicken Chowmein is really good, with chopped veggies and chicken inside. Even I order HOT for spiciness, still not very spicy and totally acceptable. The soup is rich, and the chopped ingredients are all pan-fried, which I appreciate this added details. Garlic nann is also very delicious.

Yum!!! Chicken pakora, steamed chicken momo, saag paneer, and chicken tikka masala!! All so so excellent! Entrees were a little smaller than expected, but the flavor was amazing! I really liked the saag paneer. The paneer was so soft, and the spinach was really good too. The rice was also surprisingly good! Oh and the mango lassis— definite must order!

We ordered lamp, goat and veggie biryani and lamb curry. It was one of the delicious Indian food we ever ate.

We tried Kantipur Cafe for the first time this weekend and it was great!! We ordered the vegetable samosa, chicken momo, chicken korma, and chicken kadhai. Everything was delicious!! Each dish had great flavor. You can also customize your spice level for the entrees. Great portions and value. The vegetable samosa order came with 2 large samosas. The chicken momo came with 8 pieces. We also received a nice variety of dipping sauces with our order. The entrees come with basmati rice. We ordered online and picked up. Service was fast, efficient and friendly. The restaurant still had their 15% off the entire menu promotion- not sure how long it will last. I can’t wait to order again!

I am glad that there’s a restaurant in Cambridge that brings some freshness to the Menu and Taste. They serve one of the best Momos in Boston/Cambridge Area. I tried Tandoori Momos and they were really flavourful. I highly recommend the paneer Tikka as well fyi these tikkas really giant cubes of fresh And soft paneer. They have good number of vegetarian options, and the serving size is good as well.

The food is not bad, but the Momos were extremely burned and a few of them were barely edible

i love kantipur so much! I used to live right across the street from it and would frequently get takeout and i sat down to eat for the first time today and i was so happy with the food – it’s even better when it’s not takeout (shocking, i know). the food is delicious and reasonably priced, and it’s truly a no frills dining experience which i appreciated. was very quick! my recommendations are the veggie pakora, the mulligatawny soup, and the kantipur wings.

Delicious fresh and flavorful food. The Momo’s (dumplings) were very tasty, especially with accompanying orange and red sauces.
