Hotbreads, Woburn MA

Hotbreads.

One of the best places around for Indian food and pastries. They have a good lunch buffet too.

Lamb biryani - 8/10. Very good. It is not served in the typical layered style (saffron rice, meat, rice...), but is mixed up. Nevertheless, its tasty and spicy.

Chicken biryani - 8/10. Ditto.

Lamb curry - 8/10. Good consistency gravy (not watery), spicy.

Egg curry - 8/10. Ditto.

Pastries - if you want the 'Indian style' pastries, this is the place!

Filter coffee - average. It used to be brewed the proper South Indian way, but its machine made now.

Ras malai and gulab jamun - both nice.

Good food overall. New restaurant. They have a buffet on all 7 days. Better variety than the average Indian buffet. Courteous folks. The place has a nice Andhra flavor to the food.

Shrimp fry - 7.5/10. Good stuff. Dry, kind of like shrimp manchurian with chillies and onion. I wish the shrimp pieces were a bit bigger though (it was chopped up). Nicely spiced, well done masala.
Lamb curry - 6.5/10. Nicer than the average fare. Tasty.
Goat biryani - 7/10. Welcome sight to see biryani in a buffet. The goat pieces could have been a bit more moist. But thats nitpicking now. :)
Chicken curry - 6/10. Better than average.
Naan - 7/10. Thin crispy naan, almost bite sized, fresh. Not the half raw, half cold stuff you get on average.
Tandoori chicken - 6/10. Better than usual.
Mushroom curry - 6/10. Tasty, different, but the curry was a bit dilute.
Palak paneer - 5/10. Ok.
Gulab jamun - 7/10. Very nice. Soft, no lumpy core, not overly sweet.
