I have probably been to Tanjore like multiple times. Every time I think of something quick, good food, cheap drinks and casual I go to Tanjore. Tanjore has some Nepali food and Indian food as well as basic bar food. I have basically tried everything there and every single dish is good. I love their momo, tikka masala, probably one of the best briyani and their wings are bomb as well. Tanjore is cheap and food quality is amazing.

Great place to have friends for a bday or any sort of gathering. Drinks are well priced, oh and did I mention the food is incredible. The chicken curry was amazing and some of the best I’ve had around Boston. The owners were very kind. Great hidden central spot to get drunk at and eat some curry.

Had some of the best Indian food here. The kicker is we thought it was an Irish pub, and boy were we pleasantly surprised when we walked in and found out it was an Indian food pub. Service was amazing.

I will echo what others have said that the “event security” are aggressive and its insane that the business owners would agree to have all their patrons kicked out so the “event” (karaoke ‍♂️) can collect a cover charge. We were given an ultimatum, stay and pay or leave (huh? I’ve already been here spending money). Most of the bar immediately emptied and the “security” was still harassing and corraling people outside on the sidewalk.

What a great add to the neighborhood! We were sad when People’s closed, but thrilled that Tanjore has taken its place. It’s great to have a stand by with a solid, fairly priced beer list, great food (we have enjoyed both the ‘standard pub fare’ like chicken tenders as well as the Nepalese / Indian food), plays sports on multiple screens with the sound on, and has a comfortable casual vibe.

Pretty unique setup for an Indian restaurant. Has more of a sport bar vibe that serves awesome Indian food. The Vindaloo and the bread (similar to parantha) were fantastic.

In terms of location, it’s very convenient next to a bus stop & the Red Line. Service is top-notch. Prices are more than affordable. Upbeat vibe.
