Guru The Caterer - Somerville

Do you want good food in a good price? Do not expect it to be a high quality food but at this time and age the price is soooo right. Who gives you 2 Chapatis, 2 curries and rice for lesss than $15? Who? I recommend this place. Everyone should learn from these guys.

Guru has delicious Indian food. I started going there over a decade ago in college, and loved their combo platters and mango lassis. I've gone a lot over the past several years, and their food is always flavorful, fresh, and reasonably priced. A combo plate will feed me for 2-3 meals, or my partner and I will share one. We often get 2 combo platters and share the 4 dishes it comes with, along with the deliciously spiced basmati rice and the bread and pickles that come with. Some of my favorite dishes to get are the chicken madrash madras, palaak paneer, chicken tikka masala, and any kind of daal they serve (usually tadka daal, but they mix it up). Love that their menu varies and there is usually something new to try. Love supporting a small business that is so delicious and hope they stay for a long time!

Guru the Caterer has always been my first love when it comes to local Indian food. They're no fuss, use authentic spices, and I appreciate the open kitchen that I can peek into and watch in awe. I also love that they'll make my food *actually* spicy. Featured here are Palak Paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala (only cuz the coconut curry was 86'd) and Veggie Pakoras. So good on a cold day. Sidenote, the green sauce was DELIGHTFUL and had some kick to it which was appreciated.

Five stars for samosa and roti. Everything else is too oily and spicy which should be avoided.

Flavorful and fresh, Guru's food is always tasty. The food has some spice (I like it that way) so if you want it mild be sure to tell them.
