    I went in again recently, and my experience this time around was much better than the previous few times over a year ago! The food is still delicious (we got the chicken momo, almond curry, and chicken delight with roti and bhale), and it seems like they've gotten the hang of providing good service during the dinner rush.

    I especially enjoyed the bhale and almond curry, especially as a combination.

    Came here on a Friday night, pretty crowded and had to wait for a short while.
    Service is great! Food is not the best look  but def worth the time and money (so as many delicious food does ;))
    Beef momo - THE BEST from our order! I'm not quite sure about how they are as a dish if Nepalese momo, but they're absolutely some of the best Chinese dumplings/Xiaolongbaos around here  这小笼蒸包很好吃哎！
    Fried vegetable basket - fried pumpkin, eggplants, onions, cauliflowers ... all my favorite fried vegetables! It's like a heavier version of Japanese Tempura but def not too oily nor rich. Love it!
    Tofu Almond Curry - sweetish curry sauce wirh Tofu, food with rice but I feel chicken would work better than tofu
    Shamday (Beef potato dish) - very flavorful as well! Good combination with rice but beef is a bit dry.

    Overall a nice comfort food place in Davis Square :)

    Cozy pace in the heart of Davis Square. The food is tasty, service is great and you walk away satisfied on a budget!

    Here's what we got:
    1. Chicken Momos (half fried, half steamed)
    2. Chole Bhature (the strangest rendition - they got the Bhature completely wrong)
    3. Fried Rice
    4. Mughlai Chicken (delicious, not too greasy and how a lot of places in India serve butter chicken)

    The only reason this place isnt a 5 is because of the  Chole - The Bhatura needs to be like a large puri, not a fat roti.

    We went to Martsa On Elm last Friday evening and it was WONDERFUL!  It's BYOB so we walked next store to bring in a few drinks to enjoy with our meal.  The entire experience was great - we ordered the steamed momos, pumpkin balls, chicken and almond, eggplant curry, roti, and rice and WOW such a fun and flavorful meal to share with friends!  Thanks for a really yummy and lovely evening adventure in Boston!

    How this place has four stars upon us coming here I have NO IDEA!  Service was friendly and accommodating (brought us a bottle opener for our byob wine). The food was under salted, way too oily, small portions and OVERPRICED!!!!!!!  Will not ever be returning.  Save your precious money for a better restaurant with food at the same price point like Sarma!
