Mesob Restaurant and Bar
The mesob — that woven basket that gives this South End newcomer its name — is the whole point: food meant to be pulled apart by hand, over injera, with everyone leaning in.
Crystal Spoons is one of the best indian restaurants in Boston for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Boston.
Crystal Spoons arrived on the South End–Roxbury border at 1950 Washington Street carrying a specific thesis: that Mughlai cooking — the imperial, cream-enriched, slow-cooked tradition that defined northern Indian court cuisine — has a place in Boston's Indian restaurant landscape beyond the usual subcontinental sweep.

The Zebra Room announces itself as a secret and mostly keeps the promise: ten tables, a small bar, and a concealed entrance through Yvonne's lower level at 4 Winter Place.

Let me be honest about what this is: a walk-the-line bowl shop on Boylston, not a room you linger in.

Burg & Shaw is the kind of concept that shouldn't need explaining but always does — because the mashup sounds like a novelty until you realize it isn't.

Tabla Express landed inside Novo Marketplace — Allston's 20,000-square-foot, sixteen-vendor food hall on Brighton Avenue — and the fit makes sense on multiple levels.
