Update 4/25/10
By far the best Indian restaurant this side of town! It also has a good selection of Indo-Chinese food.
Chilli paneer dry - 8/10. Very good, well made, comes very close to the Indian Chinese style, probably without much MSG
Chilli chicken dry - 8/10. ditto. The real deal, not adulterated by green peppers and such, although it has onions (the Indian one is just green chillies and chicken)
Chicken chettinad - 8/10. Very tasty and flavorful. It didn't feel like chicken thrown in some standard gravy, as we also ordered veggie chettinad. The chicken was juicy and prepared well.
Vegetable chettinad - 7/10. Good stuff.
Lamb seekh kabab - 7/10. This one was a bit disappointing, given the other good food and expectations, but not bad nonetheless. Could have been a bit more moist and flavorful.
Overall, this is the place to goto if you are in the Northwest area.
Update 1/1/10
The weekend buffet is good, 7/10 on average.
They have a good mix of veg and non veg. Their tandoori chicken is much better than the average fare elsewhere. Its well marinated.
Goat curry - 7/10
Lamb biryani - 7/10
Naan - 7/10
Chicken tikka - 7/10
One of the best in the area.
This restaurant replaced Masala. The decor is better, but the food is average.
Update 4/9/09Heard from many foodies that the buffet is much better on weekends.
Buffet included:
Tandoori chicken - 5/10
Chicken tikka masala - 5/10 - the chicken pieces were dry and the gravy as usual
Lamb meat balls - 6/10 - nice flavor, but the gravy could have been better - the ingridients and spices werent well mixed in, which left the gravy chunky (much like an amateur cook - how most bachelors cook at home :)
Ginger chicken - 5/10
Bhindi (okra) entree - undercooked okra
Garlic naan - 6/10 (was fresh and served as part of the buffet)
Service was slow.

I had a 4 Lunches (Buffet)on The Pongal in Billerica.The food was awesome. The decoration is very nice with Silk Sarees.This place was Masala before.I enjoyed Medhu Vada (Lentil Donet), Chicken Tikka, Tandoori Chicken, Bhindi Dopyaz, Chicken Chetinad and the delicious Gulab Jamoon.They have a choices for fresh Bread including $9.99.The Service was very good.I recommend the Pongal those who want Fresh and variety food.
