Hot Breads 438 Main Street, Woburn, MA 01801

"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."

"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!"

"It's best place for eggless cake, and the person at a front was amazing very helpful and kindly. I bought some fritters that was so delicious too. They do have Indian vegetarian food also can try. They're specially known for breads."

"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."
