New Mother India

Never Returning

The food was great, but the service was poor. We waited 30 minutes before our order was taken and then one hour before the food came. They forgot to bring the wine. We had to get the attention of the server several times. The owner would not honor my open table reservations and cancelled it after I was there resulting in lost points. Very argumentative owner/manager.

• Cons: Service

With an exceptional commitment to quality, this Indian restaurant stands out from its neighboring competition.

In Short
Located on Moody St., Waltham's bastion of ethnic eateries, New Mother India impresses by preparing everything from scratch, using no preservatives and meats with less than two percent fat content. Popular starters include Kashmiri mushrooms (marinated mushrooms cooked with ginger, onion and bell peppers) and London-style onion bhajias. As for dishes, New Mother's lengthy menu includes all the familiar favorites plus some unusual items (garlic-lemon tandoori chicken, tamarind veal).

Terrible experience

After my last experience at New Mother India, I will likely never go back. I am surprised to see such rave reviews, honestly. I had some of the worst service in my life there last night. We wanted a nice dinner, and we wound up spending two hours there...not because we wanted to, but because our waiter came at half hour intervals! We got the dinner for two, and they didn't bring us certain items that were supposed to come with the meal. Our waiter was a real sour-puss, answering us in monosyllabic grunts. When we asked to take the rest of our food home, we were dismayed when we got home to see that they didn't even pack up all of the food. I don't know why the service was so poor, because it wasn't even too busy.

As for the food? The food is very good, but no better than the other places on Moody Street...but it's more expensive and its portions are significantly smaller. I'll be going to the other restaurants on Moody Street from now on. Better service, better prices, and large portions.

• Pros: Good food, nice decor
• Cons: Expensive, poor value, terrible service

Expensive, but good

New Mother India has terrific Indian food and a nice atmosphere. The waitstaff is friendly and attentive. They even have their own beer (brewed by Watch City Brewing Company down the street) that is quite good. The menu is quite extensive featuring many breads, appetizers, vegetarian, beef, lamb, fish and chicken dishes. The only drawback is the price is a little high.

• Pros: excellent food
• Cons: expensive
