House CoolerPeppino's Dosa on Moody Street is Waltham's cozy, family-friendly destination for authentic, homemade North & South Indian cooking — traditional Punjabi curries, crisp dosas, and a weekday lunch buffet loved across the Greater Boston area — with dedicated Jain, vegan, and gluten-free menus built in, not bolted on.
We're the first restaurant in the USA with fully separate vegetarian and non-vegetarian kitchens — so every flavorful, fresh plate arrives with the warm hospitality and attentive service our Boston-area guests keep coming back for.

Mesmerizing experience visiting this restaurant. Tried Gobi Manchurian Dosa and Mysore Masala Dosa — both had very authentic taste with perfect chutney and sambar. The Gulab Jamun Cheesecake was unique and mind-blowing. A must-try if you're in Boston.

Went for vegetarian food. Simplest recommendation — ask for Sai. He will ensure you have a great experience.
