I like Thai Hut on Beacon St Somerville. It's mostly a take-out place, but they have a few tables (like 2 or 3). It's really good food. It's not like Similans where it's fancy. I think Thai Hut has a BYOB license.

I'd second Punjabi Dhaba for Indian. It's not fancy or anything, but it's good food and always packed for a reason.

pro tip: there's an upstairs with plenty of seating! it isn't fancy at all but just go up the stairs and enjoy. if you become a regular, they'll give you the wifi password!

i highly recommend their masala dosha.

I just moved here and both of these places are my go-to spots for good cheap eats within walking distance. Any recs from the menu? Saag paneer and the curry plate have both been good from Punjabi Dhaba (and the samosas are huge!), and I liked the yellow curry from Thai hut.

Spicy mango curry at Thai but also quite nice
