Food Shines - Lowell

Food tastes good .We have asked them for extra spicyCaution : blow your bites before eating , cause Food comes super super hotVegetarian options: They have lot of veg optionsParking: Parking is behind the building

Very good dumpling they named momo and juice made from

The momos and spring rolls were okay (not very flavourful), not great. Samosa was good, comparable to the usual Indian grocery store samosa. Naan was very good and the paneer tikka masala was creamy and tasted fine. If you are an Indian, would recommend ordering extra hot for the curry.Vegetarian options: A lot of options for vegetarians.Parking: There are 3-4 spots at the back of the restaurant reserved for its patrons.

Great place to get momos around Lowell area. Their momo hot sauce does not disappoint and their garlic naan is loaded with garlic. Super friendly staff with delicious food.Parking: Parking available behind the restaurant.

I find it difficult to understand the many positive reviews for this location, particularly those comparing it positively to sit-down Indian restaurants. Perhaps the quality has deteriorated drastically over the years; otherwise, I question the understanding the authors of these reviews have of what food, Indian or otherwise, should taste like.If not for Food Shine 's rigorous advertising, the dismal food quality, suspicious industrial atmosphere, and distinct lack of activity might suggest that the true purpose of this restaurant was more so to facilitate creative financial transfers than to serve food. Blocklike sections of dry, unseared chicken breast, oddly reminiscent of the sort that comes in cans, floated in a sea of glutinous and saccharine sauce which tasted more like tomato soup than curry. The 'pork ' momos tasted entirely, and overpoweringly, of garlic. A constant high-pitched hiss filled the restaurant, at a volume above polite conversation. This does not deserve to be compared to real Indian food.I would expect to find more craftsmanship and ambience at a McDonalds.
