About Passage to India - Cambridge

Serving authentic North Indian cuisine in Cambridge since 1991

Our Story

Passage to India has been a beloved fixture in the Cambridge dining scene since 1991. What started as a small family-owned restaurant has grown into one of Cambridge's most trusted destinations for authentic North Indian and Punjabi cuisine.

Our journey began with a simple mission: to bring the authentic flavors of India to Cambridge, Massachusetts. Over three decades, we've remained committed to using fresh ingredients, traditional recipes, and time-honored cooking techniques passed down through generations.

Originally located in Porter Square, we moved to our current location in Cambridge Crossing to better serve our growing community. This move allowed us to expand our menu while maintaining the same dedication to quality and authenticity that has defined us from the beginning.
