We had some great meals from Sarma (2) and Oleana (4), as well. We started wth Sarma, because some of their dishes --especially the fantastic fried chicken – travel well (even if it’s a short haul from Somerville to where we are in Cambridge), but we shifted back to Oleana because while Oleana allowed to you to order and pay online, Sarma required to you to come indoors to pay at pickup. My wife phoned them both times, explained that we are all high-risk and pleaded with them to let us pay by phone. They agreed each time, but the policy did not change (as recently as three weeks ago, it was still in place), so we went with Oleana. Their food, although also heavenly, did not travel as well in that the various dips and toppings tended to get smooshed around in transit. That’s why, although Oleana/Sarma are always at the top of my all-time Boston list, they are not at the top of my pandemic list.

Incidentally, within the last 2 or 3 weeks Sarma seems to have stopped doing carry out and seems to have switched to an entirely prix fixe style. (Click on “menu” after you get there, or see here.)

I agree about the home cooking. More on that in a bit.
