The food was outstanding--dishes with wonderful and unique flavors. We had the duck confit and bass, also the the burrata (fabulous!) and delicious deserts. The ambiance was great as well. My daughter and I had gone for dinner after attending SoWa. Marseille was so special we decided to splurge on the fixed price menu ($60 per person for appetizer, entree, and desert) and called it her birthday dinner. Well worth every penny!

Mumbai Spice is one of our favorite restaurants in Boston. The food is delicious and the waitstaff are very helpful with descriptions and recommendations. We usually order the Indian dishes but have tried a few of the Thai dishes and they are excellent.
