Tantric Bar & Grill
123 Stuart St, Boston, MA
(617) 367-8742

Buffet - 5/10. No great shakes. Very little variety. 2 non-veg, rajma, daal and potato-okra (which was undercooked)

Buffet had these:
Chicken tikka masala - 5/10. Its takes effort to screw up CTM. So the average dish is tasty. This one did not have well marinated chicken tikka. The gravy was tasty, but with the amount of cream the gravy has, thats a given.
Tandoori chicken - 4/10 - the usual mediocre TC that all restaurants serve, where the chicken is colored red, and as soon as the top 1/2 mm of the masala is removed, the rest is tasteless unmarinated white meat. Utterly useless.
Aaloo-bhindi - 4/10. Undercooked.
Rajma - 4/10 I cook better than that.
Kheer - this was nice. But kheer follows the "cant screw up" principles of chicken tikka masala. Cream and sugar. How can you go wrong with that?

The decor is nice. But I dont go to eat the decor. Buffet is $9.95.
