polish » 9 Panera Bread 289 Huntington Ave $ If you’re in the mood for some classic comfort food, Panera is always a great place to go. You can never go wrong with their tomato soup in a bread bowl or some macaroni and cheese. This Panera also gets bonus points for their massive downstairs basement, leaving plenty of space for all the Northeastern students to eat and study in the warmth inside. Just a short walk down Huntington, you can make it there, grab your soup and get back in time for that club meeting with no rush. sierra turkey sandwich, chicken tortilla soup, chips

India Quality Restaurant 484 Commonwealth Ave $$ Authentic Indian fare is within walking distance at India Quality Restaurant on Commonwealth Ave. My personal favorite is their aloo gobhi (cauliflower and potatoes in lots of spices) though my roommate swears by their chicken tikka masala. Either way, the warm garlic naan alone is worth the walk. It’s never too crowded, and you can get your food to-go in a few short minutes. India Quality has great service and ambiance—so why wouldn’t you want to go check it out? It’s practically part of my Friday routine.
I like Pho & I because the service is quick for a sit-down restaurant, and they put a lot of fresh veggies in the curries. Plus the lunch special is around $7-8 which is great for students.

Pho Basil 177 Massachusetts Ave $$ Can you say date night? Pho Basil not only has some of the best Vietnamese food in Boston, but the cozy, relaxing atmosphere makes it the perfect place to take a special someone, your friends or even your parents. It works for everyone. No matter what you get it’s going to be fantastic, though I recommend getting the mango sticky rice for dessert. Beware though: the portions are massive, and you will have plenty for leftoversperfect for a college student’s budget. In short, if you like Asian food Pho Basil’s definitely one you should try. mango sticky rice
