We had a wonderful time at Shanti for dinner. We went all out with the naan basket (yum), shrimp tandoori (perfectly done and spiced), saag paneer (always a solid veg dish to offer), lamb bhuna (loved the laal Mirch (red chili powder) and daal makhani (classic). The ambience was warm and service super kind and thoughtful. Thank you

The mango lassi tasted freshly made. The garlic naan was to die for. The mixed vegetable pakora was perfectly fried. The lamb in the lamb saag was so good I had to ask where they bought the meat from. Really the only dish that was lack luster was the mulagawtani (lentil) soup which just lacked some flavor. The service was prompt and friendly. I had never been here before but will definitely be back many times. Oh also they give a reusable bag for leftovers and it’s a woman-owned business!

After a long and tiring day around Boston and the surrounding area I was rejuvenated by the food, service, and hospitality of this establishment. I ordered lamb vindaloo with a mango lassi, both of which i cannot recommend enough. This easily makes the list of one of my new favorite restaurants and I cant wait to go back!!

I’m not sure if there has been a change of management or cooks in the past couple of years but there has been a change. This is the fourth time my order was not what I ordered and not what was expected. The dish recipe didn’t have the ingredients that it used to and the drinks are no longer made in house. At least this last order was edible as the previous one were absolutely unpalatable. If you want authentic Indian food that doesn’t cut corners, go elsewhere. It’s an expensive disappointment

2.5 stars. For all the hype around this place in terms of Indian food in Boston, was rather underwhelmed. Ordered Rogan Josh with medium spice but it tasted like it had no spice. Lamb was dry and somewhat tough. Came with a pint of rice, no issues with that. Cheese naan was decently sized, but more burnt than is ideal.

Ordered a meat/veggie pakora platter. A few of the veggie ones were totally burned and tough as you can see in the pic. Not sure why but their quality has gone down the last few years. Shanti needs to do better than this if they want to retain customers.

Food: I ordered Garlic Naan, Chicken Jalfrezi, Goat Biryani. The Naan and Chicken Jalfrezi was utterly delicious. The biryani was a bit different with a mix of dry fruits and the meat could have been cooked a little longer and the biryani rice had stickiness. Rating: 3.5/5
Service: The best service you get at any restaurant. The boys kept checking if I needed anything and had a very warm and welcoming personality. Rating 5/5
Atmosphere: The atmosphere was very pleasant with some soothing music playing in the background. It was not very busy when I went but I hope more people come and try out their food. Rating 4/5
Overall rating: 4/5

This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I ordered my food today at 5pm and was told it will arrive in 45min. I called at 6.30 and they said they dont know what the driver is doing it will take longer. They forgot the order and wouldn’t apologize and said I should have called earlier. They lied and blamed me on top of it.
Don’t order here I was a long time customer and got treated awful.

So today we came for lunch and to be honest we had the terrible experience food was so bad we ordered chicken Rogan Josh and it’s so bad in taste we also ordered Dal makhni and it was so sweet. Server was so rude with us we went there at 12 and server ask us to wait outside because she said her chef is not here yet. Online they say they open at 12 and it’s not the case. Because definitely there staff was not available. The kashmiri chicken kebab was tasted kind of rotten we had the worst experience ever I’m not gonna be back here definitely and I won’t recommend it.
