Jamaica Plain News reports why people who would normally go to Bukhara on Centre Street are having to trek to Roslindale or West Roxbury - or even further afield - to get their daily dosa Indian food.

Reading their inspections, one question arises
Every time they have been inspected, there have been violations that have lead to follow-up inspections. Once, they didn't even pass the re-inspection entirely. They currently have their permit pulled. Yet somehow they have an "A" rating. How messed up does a place have to be to get a grade lower than an "A"?
Mebbe...
they did something to curry favor with the inspectors.
They searched...
They searched for evidence of bribery and found naan.
Head on over to Forest Hills
Head on over to Forest Hills at Tiki Masala, I guess.
Bukkarah
Bring back Today's Bread
Good thing they didn't find...
a pakorats running around the kitchen
Or employees not washing
Or employees not washing their hands after they were 'indaloo.
At least there wasn't any
At least there wasn't any storage of raw meat above confectionery, with consequent dripping of meat juices onto cream products
We need to have a chaat
Aloo people making jokes about this need to look at yourselves in the mirror. Get a dosa reality. Food safety is not a joke.
Ask not ...
... for whom the bhel tolls ...
No laughing mattar
I'm sure they'll fix it raita way. Lack of food safety can give you bad korma.
I feel like they should get a Katy Perry award

Ghazal
I miss Ghazal - thought the food was more flavorful, better spice.
What are some other good T-accessible Indian places?
The place across from the Forest Hills T stop
Tikki Masala is not bad, although I admit I'm partial to Shanti (accessible via the 6,000 bus routes that run from Forest Hills down Washington).
India Quality next to Kenmore
India Quality next to Kenmore stop. Really good.
Several good Indian restaurants
Several I'm partial to:
Punjab Palace, Allston - right on the 57 bus route; a short walk from the 66 or the B line of the Green Line.
Shan A Punjab, Brookline - right on the 66 (across from the TJ Maxx); a short walk from the B line.
Tanjore, Harvard Square (they've been there for years, but I'd never tried them before a couple of recent dinners that really impressed me.)
I will also add to the recommendation for India Quality in Kenmore Square - I think there's some connection between them and Punjab Palace, and both are really excellent.
I live 10 minutes from
I live 10 minutes from Bukhara, but travel 45 minutes to get to Shan-a-Punjab because its the best. I back this spot 100%
Maharaja in Harvard Square
Indian food is Boston is too Westernized aka bland. Maharaja in Harvard Square has authentic flavors. It's the only Indian I'll eat outside of my home and those of family and friends.
Worst service ever
We went to Maharaja once last year and weren't even able to order dinner. The waiter walked away as we started to order, and didn't come back. After spending several minutes waiting while he rearranged chairs at an empty table, we gave up and left. We won't be back.
