Reviews for Tanjore in Cambridge, MA
More of a dive bar that serves good indian food than an Indian restaurant. Good selection of beer for $6 which is crazy. Kitchen... stays open late, and the food is very good (although would love a spicier option). I'm surprised this place isn't more crowded Read more
The new owners are very friendly. The ambience is very cozy and chic. Beer prices are decent. Definitely worth visiting if in... town. Read more
Place looks good but didn't have a great experience with the food. Chicken biryani was average, veg chowmein was salty drenched... in soya sauce. Buffalo sauce dipped chicken wings were a disaster. Hence the 2 star. Read more
First off, we walked in because they were selling 2$ PBR. How do you turn down a 2$ beer, even if PBR? Second, there are a... couple of confusing points to get out of the way. The old standby People's Republic bar is gone, a victim of COVID and THISTanjore has moved in taking its place. Tanjore itself was an old Harvard Square standby, but that location is no more, also avictim of COVID, but THIS Tanjore is now reincarnated as of the Summer 2022 in this new, if classic, location. So to the food.We had tasty Indian binari and Nepali mo mo dumplings, both good, and as already mentioned we had the throwback 2$ PBR -admittedly a promotion, but shaving two decades off the price of a beer, that's amazing - and in Cambridge, who knew it waspossible. They also had a good selection of 6$ drafts. Also amazing. So go. Give it a try. It's worth it, and while there,offer a toast in mourning to the old People's Republic, may its memory live on.

Tanjore is my new fav Indian restaurant in the Cambridge area! Fresh, flavorful, filling food w/ generous servings for the price... (and enough to take home as leftovers!). We ordered the samosas, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Korma, Paneer Saagwala, and ChickenBiryani and my oh my - SO delicious!!! Staff are also really friendly. Can't wait to come back :) Read more
Great atmosphere! The samosas were amazing, the drinks were very good, and for the best price I’ve seen in Cambridge so far!
Super tasty and super cheap ($12!) lunch buffet with a great variety of options. You get free tea with the buffet, and super hot... fresh bread that they are continuously churning out. My favorite part of the buffet are the pakoras and that DELICIOUS chickencurry - it's super tasty especially with that naan bread. Overall, I highly recommend this place! Read more
An up and coming Cambridge bar with the twist of an Indian food menu. It's usually not busy but the staff are friendly and the... drinks are cheap. Not a cocktail bar, but they have at least a dozen brews on tap and TVs to watch the game. Read more
