I took my kids to Six Flags yesterday and couldnt stand the thought of eating the greasy overpriced crap served inside the park ($15 for a chilli dog!). I am so glad I stumbled upon this restaurant. I ordered the non-veg thali, the veg thali and the kebab platter...EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious..I lived in North India and have had authentic North Indian food. I have eaten at countless Indian restaurants in Boston/Waltham and the Metrowest area. And this place is the most authentic..I didnt give it all 5 stars, because my chai didnt come with the thali, as it was supposed to and I was really really looking forward to it after the kids got me soaking wet at the water park..In their defense, the kitchen had already closed. And the owner/server got me the wrong soup and the wrong bread..Not a big deal as the food was still satisfying...The food was high on flavor and not overly pungent and greasy..Even my kids ate well and they are really really picking, especially my 2 year old. This place makes the trip to Six Flags bearable..I really loathe Six Flags, but I might be going there more often just for my reward after the trip. And to Mike Moore, who gave it 2 stars and said that the food is like baby poo, you obviously know nothing about Indian food..all Indian food looks like mush...if you want veggies that look like veggies go eat salad greens or steamed veggies..if you want to see veggies transformed from drab to food for the gods, then go eat Indian..If you cant open your mind up to new foods, then please stick to your burger and fries. Theres a McDs a few exits down for you.

This place has pretty decent food, with both vegetarian and meaty options. Theres free naan and garlic naan available with your meal, baked fresh and perfect for eating with most of the food (particularly the sweet tamarind chutney, but thats personal taste). If youre not into spice so much, you have tame options there, too, as well as the free water and well-balanced mint chutney to cool the heat. Id recommend rice with the spinach-tofu topping to start, as well as the deep-fried vegetables. For those whod like meat as well, the chicken chunks in thick, rich sauce go well with both. Dessert options are limited, but theres a pudding on offer that improves, I think, on naan. Sadly, there were no other options when I visited (its a small operation). Overall, the place is worth a visit for anyone interested in Indian buffet at a reasonable price with good service (very polite and professional waitstaff with senses of humor here). Its less than a mile from six flags--about half a mile from the front entrance--so its a fantastic alternative to the overpriced mediocrity stew sold in the park. Youll enjoy your time there, I think--I certainly did.

We ordered a chicken salad which specifically says on the menu it comes with Chefs dressing. It came with NO dressing. When I asked for dressing I was told I would have to use the green relish and soy sauce on the table that came with the crispy bread they give you when you arrive which my fiance had already eaten. Also, both chicken dishes we ordered had NO vegetables in them. It was a whole lot of sauce with some chicken and nothing else. The flavors were great but we would never go back. We had to use the sauce from our meal as salad dressing. Also, they do not offer brown rice for an extra fee. I prefer brown rice. Would be nice to offer that. Happy to pay extra for it.

Please donot go here and get your health spoiled. Very bad restaurant of the recent times that humiliates the indian food authenticity and name. The food is so bad and old that it gave stomach upset for 2 days and quality of food is very bad. You cant see such a desserted restaurant where no one will be in all the time with poor customer service and attention. You will find the same menu on daily buffet that itself tells you that the wasted food is heated again and again and served

My mother and I ate here and agreed that it was one of the best places weve tried in a long time. Service was quick and polite, the food was amazing and the price was very affordable. We shared a "Paneer Butter Masala" and "Malai Kofta" over rice, and everything was excellent - mixed together was great too! We didnt try any drinks this time, but we did have the "Carrot Halwa" dessert which was something different and a new favorite. Highly recommended, and well be back!

Amazing Food, Clean, Friendly People! Whats not to love! I never ate Indian before. I walked in afraid it would be spicy and hot. I was wrong. Food is cooked to your specific taste. Menu selection is HUGE. They even serve wine and beer! Very clean, they are very nice and explain what everything is. Servers very knowledgable about alcohol pairings. Dessert was amazing. My husband is not into ethnic food at all, but LOVES this place. Worth a try.

Totally the best resturant around of its kind! Food is always on point, staff is attentive and friendly and the cost is as fair as it comes! Dont miss out on a local treasure - stop in for some amazing eats! You wont be dissapointed! Went here for the first time with my boss and now I go every time we work in the area. I dont often look forward to food but this place is really something special!

The most authentic northern Indian cuisine that we have come across (In RI, CT, MA)!!! Their daal makhni and saag paneer is from out of the world! Its our goto place!! Edit: Tried their buffet today, I think the quality of alacarta options is much much better! Indian food needs to be served hot else they lose their charm! Food was still tasty though! Esp. the biryani and gulab jamun!

Good restaurant. Cook and taste of the food was not bad.. Good option for people visiting Six Flag or living in Enfield /Springfield area. Cost of the food become very cheap if you are using Groupon offer. Maintained clean but didnt find any wheelchair entrance. Plenty of parking space. They have an adjacent hall can be used for your private party.. Servers were friendly.

The food was delicious. Very close to six flags and a great place to bring the family. Friendly staff and prompt customer service. They have a wide variety of food options ranging from indo-Chinese, typical Punjabi dishes and also serve pizza and pasta for those who are interested. I would recommend this place to other diners.

Only 2 people inside and I waited 45 mins for them to take my order. Found hair in my food and told them about it. They said they are not responsible for another meal. Food looked like baby poo. My wife eat the shrimp and had massive diarrhea all day. Would NEVER Recommend!

The Garden is a great place for authentic Indian Cuisine as well as a great atmosphere. Friendly staff and ownership. Great prices and great food that cant be beat!! Come check out The Garden in Agawam, MA. I recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala. Its delicious.
