Moby Dick of Boston, tucked away on Huntington in between chains like Quiznos, Starbucks, and Dunkin Donuts, is one of the tastiest small restaurants I've ever been to. The prices aren't super-cheap, but the flavor and authenticity is worth it. The menu ranges from falafels to lentil soup to biryani rices to chicken curry (at $7.95 with rice and pita, a delicious steal), and then prices rise for dinner plates with fancier meat and fish kabobs.
There are booths if you want to stay and eat, but it's also perfect fare for take-out to eat on the grass near the Christian Science Center grounds or on campus at Berklee or Northeastern University.
You can see and smell most of your food being cooked on the stovetop and grills behind the counter. Be prepared to salivate, but the food is usually ready pretty quickly.
The staff are charming and friendly if you're pleasant to them or if you're a repeat customer--it pays to get to know them! They also do fantastic catering, if you need trays of flavorful food for an event or meeting: much better than pizza or sandwiches!
