Answer 1

From the Boston Globe...

Masalaa Boston, 786 Boston Road/Route 3A, Billerica, 978-667-3443
In Billerica, Masalaa Boston offers vegetarian dishes from the entire subcontinent but has plenty of south Indian options. Everything we've tried at this unassuming eatery has been fabulous, and the banana leaf-lined plates are a charming touch. The south Indian fare includes silky vegetable chetti-nadu curry, masala dosas (crispy crepes made of rice and lentil flour, stuffed with chunks of spicy potatoes), and fried idly (steamed rice patties sauteed with onions and spices). Other clear winners are the palak paneer (verdant, smoky with cumin, and studded with chunks of farmers' cheese) and malai kofta curry (tender vegetable dumplings bathed in a rich cream-and-cashew sauce).

Answer 6

Try one of the Cape Verdean restaurants that have live music. They are in Dorchester. Great food, if you have never eaten Cape Verdean before. Great wine lists (mostly inexpensive Portuguese). And great music.

I hope this helps. I have never been to Boston, but there are guest reviews on this site:

Diva in Somerville, I think the dish is called Shahi Navratan -- 9 different vegetables. I love it.
