Hot Breads - Woburn, Massachusetts

Sachin Sawant

Hot Breads has lost its charm, once known for its authentic Punjabi style food, thanks to the awesome Punjabi chef they had, has now lost its reputation.
Curries are now having the same tomato base with tons of cream.
I used to enjoy their paneer kadhaii ( afraid don’t have photos from the past) just looking at the curry and the signature red and green capsicum used to make me drool. Now the curries look below average and even worst, the taste is not memorable.
Same thing for the malai kofta.

What disappointed me further was they served me “STALE” … dabeli, it was smelling horrible the moment I opened the take out box. C’mon this is not fair.

Thirdly when I started with hotbreads way back the curries used to be priced 6.99 and portions were huge, now they are 17 and the portions are probably half. Ofcourse I do understand the macro economics in play with inflation but that is expensive for a joint like hot breads they are not a sit in restaurant with fancy decor and table service. I think they have taken the prices a bit too far.

Not coming back HotBreads, stale food is unpardonable. Can’t give you my business, what a disappointment.

I did not like the quality of food. I ordered 2 chicken puffs and 2 paneer puff. I don’t know why it would take 15 mins to just take those puffs out to a plate. There was just one other customer other than myself present at the time. Maybe there was a good reason for slow service. But the puffs were so oily and soggy that I took one bite and it was enough to know it’s not healthy. I immediately paid and left the place and made sure that the person who served knew I did not like it. He was ready to offer me more for no extra cost. Uh no sorry I don’t think any of what you have to sell is healthy and you should NOT be selling food.

Stranger Danger

I have been to a lot of Indian restaurants and bakeries in many states and this one has to be the worst of all. Firstly, the people working there are lazy. They made us wait for 40 minutes just to pick up our food. They did not even bother heating up the food. We realized it after bringing it into our vehicle. The food was so cold and stale. No Indian place sells cold bajjis in this world!! Secondly, the taste. The taste of every item we ordered was extremely awful. Thirdly, I don't know how this place passed the sanitation check. Every table, chair, bathroom, floor (you name it) is dirty. I don't think I will ever look at this place again, forget buying their food.

I came here because I’m in the mood for dessert. Now, an Indian restaurant is not where one would get an Italian dessert. However, the Tiramisu I ordered was close to the best I have tasted in my life. It was moist, not too sweet, not too creamy… in short, a wholly unexpected surprise!

One evening few days back I had a strong craving for Indian patties/puffs and my husband instantly told me that Hot Breads should be our go to place for this. I ordered Veg puffs, vada pav, chicken croissant and a veg korma. Although taking a look at the puffs on display I had my doubts because they looked old but I still went ahead thinking that maybe I am mistaken. We had the vada pav there and it was below average in taste. Then we tried the veg puff and oh boy! It was SO BAD! First it was completely cold (even though I asked them to heat it up) plus it was STALE! The oil smelled like it was days old. I was so so disappointed. I had to throw both the puffs in the bin after the first bite. The chicken croissant was average in taste but not stale at least. Next and finally, I came home and had the veg korma for dinner --- although it tasted good but I could smell something old in there--- like onion paste that's way old--- anyway I tried to eat thinking I was mistaken. And guess what? I had FOOD POISONING the next day. Diarrhea and vomiting. I will never ever go to this place again in my life. I am astonished how these guys have the audacity to serve stale food. Please beware everyone.

We got the chicken puff and samosa, both seemed to be very stale. The chicken puff was so chewy, the staleness was very apparent and had to be thrown away. Not a great experience!

Their breads (including buns, puffs, and croissants) are genuinely pretty good - it's in their name, after all. We usually get pav from here when making pav bhaji at home. If you want pav, call ahead because they make limited quantities and may run out. But that way at least you know the pav is fresh. The goat biryani is also excellent - probably the best in the Boston area.

We've also tried the dosa, dabeli, and some pastry and chaat items here but these are not their core competency. My best advice would be to avoid getting anything else beyond breads and biryani; you'd only be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Best place for authentic hyderabad Biryani, veg chicken or goat exactly in hyderabadi style. Not at all overpriced like other Indian restaurants. Try goat curry as well.

Pastries are delicious, mango, strawberry or chocolate flavored pastries with sponge cake are a must try.
