My goal is to keep this guide as up to date as possible. If you have new information about restaurants listed, please let me know. All Waltham restaurants are now non-smoking. Reviews or other comments from readers are welcome. Contact Scott at sshurr@gmail.com

Price ratings are based on average cost of what people usually buy at the restaurant. Coffee shop is a cup of coffee, sub shop is a sub, pizza shop is a whole pizza, dinner restaurant is an entree, etc.

Price codes: $ -> Less than $12.00 | $$ -> $12.00 -$19.99 | $$$ -> $20.00 -$29.99 | $$$$ -> $30.00 or more | ? -> No prices found on the internet - If you go to one of these, maybe you could take a picture or two of the menu and send it to me.

  • 20 November 2024 - WCAC provided this update. A beloved restaurant in business for 36 years on Moody Street won’t be closing next week. Little India owner Bhushan Dhir was facing the end of his lease on November 30 and the potential closure of his business. But he and landlord Ralph Amelia, both Waltham residents who harbor no ill will toward each other, have agreed on a month-to-month lease. Amelia said when he finds an appropriate tenant for 475 Moody Street, he will give Dhir 30 days’ notice. The new lease offers a reprieve to Little India, but leaves its long-term future unclear.
