Solid food – cooked to order with the right amount of spice. Really hit the spot.
Atmosphere was also (mostly) great. While we were there, another customer got the bill and was very rude when the owner didn’t comp something that she didn’t like. She kept saying “I didn’t eat it” as if she didn’t order it. And then kept saying some other place was better.
The owner was surprisingly calm and composed in the face of this rudeness. It took everything I had not to laugh at the facial expressions of the man sitting next to the rude customer. After she left, we all had a collective “Did that really just happen? What is her problem?” debrief, a real nice community moment.
I had the Tikka Masala but my friend had the Shrimp Biryani (pictured) and enjoyed it.

I was walking back home through Porter Square and decided to finally try this restaurant, since I always pass by but never stop in. I ordered the vegetable biryani, chicken, masala tea, and spinach bread and honestly, it turned out to be the worst dining experience I’ve had in my 10 years living in Harvard Sq/ Cambridge.
It now makes sense why this restaurant has only 3 stars and is often empty when I walk by. When the biryani arrived, it came in a very small plate and looked nothing like real biryani, it was just white rice mixed with frozen vegetables. I immediately called the server (who I believe is also the owner) and told him that this wasn’t what I expected and that I didn’t want it. He took it away without saying much.
When he brought the check, I noticed that the chicken biryani was still included. I asked him to remove it since I didn’t eat it. He refused, saying that because he threw it away, it was “wasted” and I still had to pay for it. I explained that I wasn’t going to pay for something I didn’t eat or even liked..especially when the dish wasn’t as described. Instead of handling it professionally, he argued with me, called me “trash,” and continued to be extremely rude And Overpowering by saying lies!
Then, another woman possibly his wife or an employee came out from the kitchen and started yelling as well, insisting that I still had to pay for the biryani. The entire situation was uncomfortable and unprofessional and both employees were verbally Aggressive.
My advice: avoid this place. The food was terrible, the staff were aggressive and disrespectful, and the biryani was nothing like it should be. I documented everything with photos and videos because I genuinely couldn’t believe how I was treated.
I ended up paying only for my tea and the bread I ordered which was the only decent part of the meal. go to Nirvana next door And you will see how the biryani looks like. I eat biryani in all the Indian restaurants, and I never saw worse than this biryani in my life!

I genuinely can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. The food is absolutely incredible, every dish is bursting with flavor, perfectly spiced, and tastes like it’s made with so much care.
But what truly makes this place special is the owner. He is one of the kindest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met. From the moment you walk in, he makes you feel like family bychecking in on your meal, recommending his favorites, and always greeting everyone with the warmest smile. It’s rare to find someone who cares so deeply about both their food and their customers.
This isn’t just a restaurant, it’s an experience. Amazing food, beautiful atmosphere, and the sweetest owner who makes you want to keep coming back. I love this place and couldn’t recommend it more!

We love Jo’s! Their takeout is awesome, and the service when dining in is lovely. You can tell they really care about their community. Some music and fun lighting would probably make the atmosphere even more vibrant, but the food and service is too good for that to matter much!
They offer a 10% Student Discount (cash-only) and a 4% cash discount!

This hidden gem should be rated at least 4.5+ ⭐️ on Google Review. This restaurant had one of the best naan bread I’ve had in my life – it’s perfect balance of being chewy and well baked. I will be coming again just for the naans.
I highly recommend the lunch special menu $15 that comes with variety of dipping flavours and also 1 piece of chicken + dessert. The staff (family owned) is friendly and gives Indian mom&pop vibes. Proportion is large and served quick. No waiting lines, which is a nice contrast to some nearby stores with unreasonable wait times.
Delicious food, no wait time, friendly mom&pop store, healthy menu, and reasonably priced… should definitely be rated 4.5+ ⭐️

Love this place! Not sure why the reviews aren’t 4.5+ Stars. I have been here multiple times under the previous admin. and now the new one. And I cannot say enough good things about the food, service and atmosphere. By far one of the best Indian food options in Boston/Cambridge.

Second time here and was still very pleased. We tried completely different dishes than the previous time and all were great. I got Rupee beer, a thali lunch plate that came with rice and kheer, and samosa chaat. The owner and workers are extremely kind, the tables/booths are very clean, and the menu has a wide variety of both veg and non-veg.

This is the second time my boyfriend and I dined at Jo’s and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The first time we ate there we knew 100% we had to come back. It was by far the best Indian food I have eaten. My boyfriend said it tasted just how his mother makes it. I highly suggest the Mutter Paneer and Aloo Tikki Chat.

Amazing traditional Punjabi food. Feels very authentic and the flavors are amazing. Very accommodative on customization. Vegetarian thali is the combo I’ve ever eaten. Their chats are also amazing. Masala Chai is nice. Kind people who serve food with lots of dedication. My go to place when I want to feel good with homely authentic Indian style food. Great presentation of food and genuinely tasty food.
