Khana Peena
Last week, Lydia and I were able to take time out from studying and enjoy a meal at Khana Peena on Oxford, between Oxford & Allston (next to Ben & Jerry's). They have a lunch buffet that includes a bottomless soda for only $6.49. For quality Indian food, that's a steal my friends.
This mini restaurant is an outlet from their main restaurant on Solano, which looks pretty schnazzy I must say. At the Oxford restaurant, they have outdoor seating, bar seating, as well as seating upstairs. For their buffet selection, they have an endless supply of delicious naan, rice, spinach + potatoes (aloon), creamy chicken tikka masala, lamb, tandoori chicken, lentils, salad, lamb curry, among a few other selections. The tikka masala is perfectly cooked, creamy with tender bits of chicken. Dip your naan into this dish, and you'll shake your head in agreement. The spinach and potatoes was a bit on the watery side for me, but for a $6.49 all-you-can eat buffet, what can you expect. The tandoori chicken was tender and tastes delicious with their naan and basmati rice. I recommend pouring a bit of their cucumber/cilantro (green) or tamarind (brown) sauce on any of your dishes for an extra dimension of flavor. I went back for two plates, but left room to try the traditional Indian dessert, honey balls. Basically they're bread balls that have been soaked in a honey syrup. It's delicious, but one is pretty much all you may be able to stomach.
Lydia and I had a satisfying lunch here and we hope you check it out too.
Enjoy those finals everyone, but don't forget to eat in the process.
Cheers,
Melissa Joy
