Best Indian food in the area, no question. Their biryani’s are fantastic. To top it off the staff is so kind and personable. It is always such a joy to order from them!

Excellent ambience and seating arrangement, outstanding service , very polite and helpful staff. Loved the Breads( Nans) and Chicken Entrees.Biriyani was pretty bad , tasted more like Chicken Curry + Rice mixed together and not at all of Dum Biriyani taste. Overall the food is pricey and the taste doesn't do justice to the price tag

We just got some takeouts (chicken tikka masala. lemon rice. chicken vindaloo. chickpea masala.). i can tell right away the ingredients are fresh and the aroma is intoxicating. Many restaurants start out great and go downhill. we used to go to Paani when they were on Boston Post Rd. I can truly say the food is better than ever. an Indian restaurant that is super CLEAN and have great STYLE. this is a true gem. we are lucky to it nearby!

It is nice quiet place. Food is nice. Not to spicy. Saw more Americans than Indian over here.
Bit expensive than other Indian restaurants but the ambience and location compliments it.

We always love everything we order. The vegetarian appetizer sampler, I love the spices they use. The korma, butter chicken, naan, and paratha are all delicious.

Presentation looks very cheap, sauces are not provided when you order for take out. Portions are small.

We had another delicious meal from Paani. We ordered take out and everything was outstanding. We asked if she had rita an Indian condiment that our guest liked but I didn't see on the menu. Of course they had it and it was delicious. The food from Paani is truly fine dining everything is prepared and packaged beautifully. And I appreciate all the vegetarian options.

This is by far our favorite restaurant in Sudbury and the surrounding area. The food is outstanding - consistently excellent. The garlic naan is our go-to. A rare gem in Metro West

Paani is one of our favorite local restaurants and it was the perfect choice for a celebratory party at the end of August, when the COVID situation was in flux and we had to plan for several possible contingencies: indoors or outdoors? how much food for as many as 35 people but possibly many fewer? The owner, Vimi Verma, and her staff were incredibly helpful and flexible as we chose a menu and then tailored it as the date approached. In the end, we held it on their patio and it was a huge success. The service was excellent and the food, as always, was absolutely delicious. In fact, a friend who

Love Paani! We live far enough from Boston that it's hard to find great Indian restaurants. Paani has been a staple in Sudbury for so long. Their move from their quaint spot to the larger space has opened up the opportunity to enjoy wonderful drinks and as close to homemade Indian food you can get.

I like the vibe of the restaurant.
The staff is really cheerful!!!
We had to wait for our order for about 45 minutes (restaurant was 30% occupied) so please keep that in mind.
Our order got messed up which seems to be common as no one noted down what we ordered (human error). The owner was really sweet and gave us free dessert (an extra star).

The food is amazing, and I've never been disappointed. It might be a bit of a wait, but the food is always worth it.
The service always seems disorganized, almost like no one has an assigned role in the front. The result is a long wait for everything from orders being put in to drinks to the check. Food is great, but don't expect it quickly.

Delicious! I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't tried this restaurant before-Indian food always intimidates me Wow! The flavors here are unbelievable and the quality of the food is excellent. Vegetables samosas, chicken tiki masala, garlic naan, and cauliflower fritters(don't remember the name). Great wine with a generous pour! The owner and waiters were lovely. I will be back soon - can't believe I've waited so long.

Very nicely orepared food. We were a little annoyed that dosa were not available but they noted it on the bill and we got an apology note from door dash about it too. Now I just wish they had biryani. I had tikka masala and pakora with rice that had peas and cashews in it. Very, very good. Clearly a more polished result in this food.

Visited early in the day on a weekend.
Outdoor dining was very well laid out and a lot of tables with plenty of space for distancing. Service was attentive and patient with us. Food portions were outstanding with a "to go" bag we had 2 big extra meals the next day. Quality was excellent with well balanced flavors. This was our first time at this place and it is definitely on the repeat list ! Value for the money is also excellent , especially in consideration of the portion size.

This was our first time here AND our first time eating inside a restaurant since covid began. The Paani staff were so accommodating and everything felt safe. The food was incredible! Such good flavors in both the chicken dishes we ordered. The naan was warm and and the veggie samosa appetizer was really good. The vibe is casual and cozy. We will be back!

Dinner outside with friends warmed by effective heaters. The staff -- and owner -- were welcoming and helpful.

The vegetable tasting platter was full of flavor without a hint of greasiness. For our main courses, the chicken korma and smoked aubergine were prepared perfectly; fresh tasting ingredients and exactly the level of heat we requested. The wine list was surprisingly robust, and the Pinot Grigio was crisp with the right amount of acid.

The only things left to take home were some well seasoned garlic naan and a bit of the eggplant. For lunch the next day, I spread the aubergine on the

Excellent meals the last two times we've been. Once in early December 2020 and now on New Years Eve 2020. The old Paani is back and delicious! A great spot for a great Indian meal.

Absolutely delicious. The food is a little pricey, but they really take great care of their dishes. Many are rather mild, which is good for my family that doesn't like really spicy things. The naan with figs is amazing. The railway mutton curry was surprisingly delicious. Prawns are a must.

The restaurant is set in a nice location. The nice blue interiors and decor reflects the name "Paani" meaning Water. Well maintained restaurant, service is great too.
Coming to the main part....food!
Overall decent number of choices in both vegetarian and non-vegeterian entrees (10-15 in each).
The chilli mushroom as appetizer was good. Crispy n nicely tossed in chilli sauce.
The main course of chicken makhni(butter chicken) and naans were bit of disappointment though. Butter chicken was really mild on spices and the naans (plain n garlic) just tasted wrong. Something was off about them

Excellent food. Most of the food is gluten free and so this makes this an a a good choice for Celiac's and gluten intolerant diners. Since the recipes are not altered to be gluten free, diners can enjoy the intended flavors. Staff are great at explaining options, food prep and ingredients. This is a local favorite.
