In Short
Though not sharing a name, The Similans shares the same ownership and much of the same menu as Boston's award-winning Brown Sugar Cafe. The eatery is located within walking distance of the CambridgeSide Galleria shopping mall, as well as many of Kendall Square's office buildings. The lengthy menu contains both familiar favorites (basil fried rice, drunken noodle, seafood pad Thai) and unique chef's specialties (salmon spring rolls, stewed beef massaman, roast duck curry).
