This is one of the best restaurants in greater Boston, and the menu of small plates (we like the lentil nachos with rich feta queso and crunchy reuben latkes) is fun to share with a group or your significant other. Sarma’s colorful dining room is pretty much packed every night, so if you’re planning a special occasion you can (and should) book in advance. Or, if it’s just the two of you, maybe celebrating a milestone birthday, show up right at 5pm when they open and score a seat at the bar.
