Great spinach paneer Momo tarkari curry! Momos are fresh and they ask you for a spice preference out of 10. Nice service and atmosphere

Always consistently good food and friendly staff! We love Base Crave. Their food is very healthy, and they have a unique variety of dishes, including old standbys. The restaurant has so much for everyone, and every dish can be served with no spice or lots of spice.

OMG… I was in the Cambridge MA Fresh Pond area and randomly stumbled upon Base Crave — hands down the tastiest food I’ve ever had. The flavors of the Tarkari Curry Lamb and Mushroom completely blew my mind! The place feels upscale, super clean, and the service was friendly. Great vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating, and plenty of street parking. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!

My wife’s work orders meals for their employees from Base Crave so she wanted to bring me here. It was super tasty and had lots of flavors. Peaceful atmosphere and pleasant servers. I can’t wait to return. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options.
We went back a second time. Another great experience.

Such a lovely quaint restaurant. The inside was neat and clean with quiet jazz played in the background. The food was fantastic. Everything was well-seasoned with a nice mix of spices that made each dish pop. There were many gluten-free and vegetarian options too. The host also informed us that the restaurant did not use gmo products and artificial colorings so those with such concerns can rest easy 🙂
We ended up trying the jeera chicken, basil shrimp, chicken & mushroom takari curry, chicken momos with tikka masala, and garlic naan.
The jeera chicken came with crispy puffed rice which was really fun to eat. The garlic naan was very soft and went well with the tikka masala.
For drinks we tried the strawberry lassi and rupee lager. The lassi was delicious, not too sweet, had great fruity flavor mellowed by dairy with a touch of spice. The rupee was a nice smooth beer that was not very hoppy or bitter and paired well with the food as advertised.
So happy to find another local gem. Looking forward to trying their other dishes and lassi flavors.

Nice wait staff and well spiced food. We had Potato and Mushroom dish, mango paneer, and Korma Paneer. The mirror where we had sat for dinner was weird. I don’t like looking at myself eat so I recommend the restaurant remove it or move it higher. The food was good but a little too sweet. A bit expensive as well for vegetarian dishes. It was very nice place to eat. I would go again.

The staff were friendly and the ambience was pleasant, though the place felt a bit rundown. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The momos had very little filling and were rubbery, the naan was burnt, and the shrimp dish, while flavorful, came in a very small portion. The lentil soup was tasty but also quite small. Overall, it wasn’t worth the price, and I don’t plan to return.

Delicious food!! It was served quite fast and very healthy with plenty of vegetables.
Special mention to the Gundrunk soup, so yummy!

We had a fantastic lunch at Base Cave. The Momos were excellent, of course, but we were surprised that we liked the spinach and paneer ones the best. Pan grilled calamari small plate was great. Grilled goat was very good, and the stir fry duck chili was fantastic. Everything had lots of complex spice. Level 5 was hot enough for some good burn. Level 7 was just enough to make my brow sweat, but was good with a beer.
