I went to Peppinos Dosa located on 434 Moody St in Waltham, MA📍 This indian restaurant features all the classic indian dishes you love but with a vegetarian twist!

For drinks🍹 we got the mango🥭 lassi which is always so rich/refreshing in my opinion 8/10.

For appetizers we got the soya chaap 7/10, the mango mint paneer 7/10, the chipotle paneer tikka 7/10, the crispy mushroom 🍄 8/10, the Gobi Manchurian 8/10, and the Potli Samosa 8/10.

If you don’t know what soya chaap is it is a popular street food in India🇮🇳 and is made of soy beans and flour. I loved trying this for the first time! It was also nice to see the paneers in different types of sauces- I rather enjoyed the chipotle flavored one! Gobi Manchurian is essentially spicy fried cauliflower-a must get in my opinion. The crispy mushroom didn’t even taste like a mushroom at all! Have no fear non mushroom fans-this was great! Finally, the potli veggie samosa had peas, potatoes and cheese. A classic indian appetizer to have before starting the main course.

For the main course we got malai kofta🍛 (which is like tikka masalas cousin in my opinion) and is made of a creamy and spiced tomato based curry with kofta (spiced balls) 9/10. This was definitely the star dish of the evening and would come back here just for this curry! The other curry we got was the paneer tikka masala which was just a vegetarian version of chicken tikka masala. We also got a side of the vegetable jalfrezi🥦🥕 which had broccoli, peppers and onions 7/10. Finally, you can’t have indian food without a basket of assorted naan 8/10. They were not cheap on the garlic 🧄thank goodness this naan🫓 was excellent.

Every Tuesday this spot does Dosa Night and you get a drink and a dosa for only $15! Its a pretty good deal! So if you are vegetarian or craving indian cuisine like I do sometimes head on over there.
