Ssaanjh Indian

Ssaanjh on Beacon Street has an Indian menu worth reading from the starters onward. Dahi ke kebab combines yogurt and ricotta, beetroot croquettes come with peanut chutney, and the samosa chaat adds chickpeas, yogurt, sev and pomegranate. Those give a table several ways to start before moving to tandoori dishes, curries or biryani.

Vegetable choices include fire-roasted eggplant, masala okra and slow-cooked black lentils, alongside paneer dishes. Breads and chutneys have their own menu sections, so leave space for something to go with the sauces. The restaurant also serves India-inspired cocktails and offers reservations, takeout and delivery. It is at 1012 Beacon Street in Brookline. If you need a vegan meal, check ingredients with the staff, since many of the vegetarian dishes contain dairy.
