Given the large number of restaurants (and Indian places in particular), it's quite an accomplishment for many people to say that it's the best place around (and I know a lot of people who say that). I think it's very good. Service is good, as you would come to expect from most Indian places. They have a traditional menu of Indian dishes. It's a very good place for takeout. They do have a small parking lot of their own in the back if there's nothing out front or in the municipal lots. They do not have the lunch buffet on the weekends or on Mondays (they actually might be closed on Mondays altogether -- I'm not sure). The decor is typical for this type of restaurant. They're fairly busy most of the time, but you shouldn't have to wait.

This place is one of the top notch restaruants in Boston. Its fancy and a bit expensive but the food is very good and they have all types of authentic Indian dishes. I definetley recommend them. Try their poori and paneer. Its bread and a cheese indian dish and it is very good.

It's in a decent location, the atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming, and the food is mighty tasty. And they don't mind groups of ten or so sitting around talking for hours and hours. I am vegetarian, so having a decent selection of veggie food ( salads don't count.) is important to me. New Mother India delivers quite well. I tend to order the Shahi Paneer-- it's little cubes of paneer (a simple cheese) in a thick, spicy, reddish-brown sauce with a few veggies and cashews. It's aromatic, wholesome, and filling. You can order it spicy, but I find it pleasantly flavorful without. This is mostly habit, though. When I order other things, they're never a disappointment. Their breads, the usual naan, are light and tasty. I recommend the garlic naan. A sweet lassi will make for a pleasing counterpoint to the spice of the meal. The New Mother India lassi is never too thick or yogurty-- they're always perfectly mixed. Finally, I round off the evening with the Indian milk tea. It's a slightly spicy tea made with milk and it goes well with the Shahi Paneer. The service is good, and the food isn't terribly expensive. I'd probably eat there even if it was, it's just good.
