In the heart of Central Square, a mecca of Indian cuisine, you'll find this unassuming and wallet-friendly nook. The atmosphere is homey and authentic, from the soft Indian music playing in the kitchen to the shimmering ethnic tapestries on the wall. The menu carries all the conventional Indian favorites; for a delectable sampling, try the huge combo platters for one ($12-14) or two ($20-30): a deal-steal that serves up several entrees (normally $7-12 each), along with onion chutney, basmati rice, daal, soup, coffee, and dessert. Daily chicken and lamb specials are favorites among the restaurant's loyal clientele. All-you-can-eat Indian buffet ($6) daily 11am-3pm. Entrees $7-12, $2 discount if you get take-out.
