Best of Boston

Boston’s South Asian food scene has exploded over the past two decades thanks to pioneers like Himalayan Bistro, which introduced Nepali cuisine here in 2006. Nearly 20 years later, this sparse, serene West Roxbury stalwart is still slinging an eclectic array of complexly spiced dishes from across the subcontinent, from the kormas ofthe ancient Mughals to the saags of the Punjab to the khukhuras of Kathmandu. Bring an appetite and friends, and order plenty of the sublime naan.
