Try the tamales - they have veggie ones although they are not on the printed menu. The indian restaurant in Union Sq is also very good.

They don't list Arlington as a delivery area but I've never had a difficult time getting them to deliver if the order was over $30. When dining out I still choose Bombay Club or Kashmir.
Eat is still a terrific place--new menu items are a bit pricier than before, but the quality is excellent. Last time I ate at Union Square Bistro it was quite good; however, stick with the more formal, upstairs dining room. The downstairs cafe is cheaper but the food is mediocre at best and the service terrible. Someone recommended Tir Na Nog for a good cheap-eats kind of place; I had a supper of soup and salad recently which was nothing to write home about (though the owners and help are very friendly).

There was a fast-food version at the Burlington Mall (I ate Chicken Tikka Masala every day for three months straight there :) but it has recently changed it's name. The Mall version is decent - acceptable for a quick meal but if you ever try it don't let it be an indication of the quality at Bombay Club in Cambridge. Kashmir is on Newbury Street - around the 300 block - not far from the Mass. Ave intersection, I believe. Parking can be difficult at times. When I used to work nearby I snuck out for buffet lunches there as often as possible. The cost was low - around $7 or $8 including naan. Dinner is more expensive and it gets crowded after 6:30ish. Kashmir was good enough to offer me the motivation to walk 8 blocks even on the coldest and windiest winter days. Of course you have to take my obsession with Indian food into account.. At Christmas I even made sure to pick up a $100 Kashmir gift certificate to give to my gf along with her other gifts. I figured why not get 'credit' for an additional gift since I'm was just going to end up taking her there and paying anyhow ;) I can't really decide which is better so I tend to choose based upon parking & transportation convenience on any given date that I give in to my cravings. There is a company called "Fast Delivery" that delivers from multiple restaurants. (Ironically they are not very fast but that's the price one pays for being lazy :) Sometimes I get food from India Palace or other places delivered by them. They may deliver to your area. I don't have their phone number offhand but I believe they are based in Cambridge if you want to try information. | Wow, that's cool that India Palace delivers, I wonder if they'd go all | the way up to the 'res where we are? It's a long round-trip to Union Sq.
