This week I took my parents to Tashan located on 213 Burlington Rd, Bedford, MA📍 this restaurant is an elevated dining experience featuring fantastic indian🇮🇳 dishes.

For cocktails 🍹we had the Lychee-tini which had tito’s vodka, dry vermouth and lime. My favorite part of this drink were the delicious lychee boba pearls 9/10.

We also had the copra mojio which had malibu white rum, coconut🥥 syrup, lime, simple syrup, and copra. If you love coconut this drink is for you as it also had entire pieces of coconut 9/10.

The dhundari madira drink which was quite the presentation! This is a smokey bourbon drink 🥃 with angostura, orange bitter and lime 9/10. All these drinks not only tasted great but were actually a great deal (cocktails were around $13-$15).

For appetizers we had the chatpatta katori chatt which is a form of a classic indian street food. It was in a flour cup and contained chickpeas potatoes, lentil dumplings, yogurt🍶, pomegranates and sev. This is served cold and tasted just as beautifully as it looked 8/10.

We also had the subz-e-kabob which was made of assorted vegetables, ginger, garlic, breadcrumbs, and corn flour. The best way to describe these were that they reminded me of small fried vegetable patties 7/10.

The lahsooni prawns🦐were soaked in a curd marinade, it had mustard tempering, kashmiri chili, and cucumber-cabbage relish. These were spicy🥵 so if you can handle spice then this is a must have as it was the favorite appetizer of the evening 10/10.

Finally, we had the malvani fish pakora. These pakoras were made with cod, besan, rice flour, kohlapuri masala, and green spicy mayo. The fish was so fresh and was definitely worth a try if you like fish🐟 8/10.

For main dishes we had the harra murgh tangdi which were chicken drumsticks 🍗containing fresh mint🌿, yogurt, sour cream and tashan spices 8/10.

We had the malai fish 🐟curry 🍛which had cod, dry roasted spices, bechamel sauce, lemon and kashmiri chili🌶️ oil 10/10. The curry sauce was spicy and wasn’t overpowering in fish flavor.

We had the chuninda bhagare baigan which had baby eggplant🍆, peanut sesame curry and copra paste. If you are looking for a vegetable curry dish this one is perfect to try 9/10.

We had the lamb🐑 biiryani which contained extra lean lamb, and had aromatic spices, desi ghee and raita. This was probably the favorite main dish of the entire evening 10/10. The lamb was simply cooked perfectly.

The garlic naan🫓 was also soooo good and a must get but also be sure to try the kulcha trio.

Kulcha are Indian flatbreads similar to naan, but the key difference between them is that they are made using maida or a refined white flour whereas naan tends to be made with a wheat flour. If you havent had it before it is worth a try (plus they stuff theirs with potatoes 🥔😋)

For dessert 🍮we had the nawabi tukda which was a malai cake (a soft & spongy cake soaked in sweetened milk) and rose petals. This was a light dessert and a perfect way to end the amazing evening.

I don’t give out 10/10s often but this was an easy 10/10 for food for me. The ambiance was 9/10 and the affordability 7/10. Check out this spot if you frequent the Burlington Mall or if you are looking for an amazing indian dining experience.
