For some reason, the best Indian restaurants are in Cambridge. Haven't done Indian in a while, but my favorite was always the Tandoor House. They recently moved a few blocks down Mass Ave and are now situated in Central Square (Cambridge). Anyone tried them since the move?? I was impressed with the perfect blend of very fresh spices and the not-overly-heavy sauces. My experience with Bombay club was OK, but nothing to get excited about. Shalimar in Central Square used to be pretty good, too. Enjoy, Christine

I found their Vindalu to be purely spicy the evening I tried it, without the intricate spices I would have hoped for. >My experience with Bombay club was OK, but nothing to get excited >about. I have to admit to being in the minority here. I think that Bombay Club is mediocre at best. I have only tried it for lunch, off the menu and off the buffet. The blandness has been a bit staggering every time! I think that one of the most overlooked Indian restaurants in Cambridge is Passage to India, on Mass. Ave. in Porter Square. They were recently closed for several months following a fire, and when they re-opened afterward, many of the recipes seem to have changed. It was still head and shoulders above most of what I've had around here, though. If you like the way they handles spices at Tandoor House, you'll probably find some real gems here too. Bon Appetit!
