The Indian restaurant near Bentley University most Waltham locals will send you to is Peppino's Dosa on Moody Street — a ten-minute drive from campus and a full South & North Indian kitchen when you get there. Dosas, curries, chaat, and a proper vegetarian menu that doesn't feel like an afterthought.
Why it's worth the ten-minute drive
Peppino's is one of very few restaurants on Moody Street with a full dosa program alongside a full North Indian curry menu — and the only one running two completely separate kitchens for veg and non-veg. If your friend group has a mix of vegetarians, meat eaters, and dietary restrictions, this is the room that solves the Sunday-night group text.
What to order first
- Masala dosa — the intro. Everyone should try one.
- Butter chicken + garlic naan — the classic crowd-pleaser.
- Goat rogan josh — for the group that wants to go deeper.
- Paneer tikka masala — the vegetarian showstopper.
