Visiting Boston with my wife for a few days and we dined at Shanti. What a great find, cosy atmosphere, good menu, excellent food and first class service. Strongly recommend to all!

My family absolutely loves Shanti. It's delicious, has depth of flavour. I always get the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken and lamb curry. They all come with rice. The service is efficient. We get delivery from here pretty often and it's great. The only con is it's a little pricey for the quantity but I still love it!

I have been ordering food from Shanti for about 2 years now. This time, I found a piece of plastic in my chicken biryani. Very disappointed.

Got delivery from this place one night. Flavor of everything was really good. I usually start with mild spice when trying a new place and there was pretty much no spice for mild so I'd recommend going up on their spice level if that's what you like. Otherwise pretty good

I dined twice within two days. One was in and I ordered mainly appetizers and soup. The Samosa wasn't the best I tried but good. The soup was a little bland. However, I liked the Alo paratha and the sag paneer the best.

It used to be our favorite Indian food in Boston, for the past 20 years, but it went downhill. Maybe it was an off night? The baigan bharta had no smokey flavor at all. All the dishes were overly salty and extremely oily with not much flavor. Disappointing. Also the noise level was off the charts due to a party of 4 adults and 1 toddler (who was not crying). It's a small restaurant and 1 loud party can make it impossible to hear your dinner companion. Oh well.

Ive only ordered food for delivery but so far every dish has been pretty frickin' delicious! And they deliver on time, no spills, and the bag is reusable. Best Indian I've eaten in Boston to date :) Thanks, Shanti!! Keep it up!

I love their food, but the Ras Malai leaves a lot to be desired. The taste is off and it looks like it has a crazy amount of gelatin. The texture is goopy, and it's tasteless. You can order anything else from the menu with confidence! Just stay clear of this dessert.

I have eaten and enjoyed Indian Cuisine for over 45 years. I have never had worse. Here, the food seemed to be reheated leftovers. Both over cooked and highly inedible. My request to have served mild WENT UNHEEDED. TOO HOT TO EVEN LOOK AT. The staff who returned my email inquiring how to reach the office, spoke well, on our phone call and indicated a return call was to be expected from management. NO. In fact I felt the food was so poor to possibly merit a call to the health department. I expect my note here may receive a management response. I do not expect it to carry merit or value. Our order was delivered, Rethinking, maybe they delivered leftovers from a catered meal?? If you do not know Indian Cuisine, I recommend you dine elsewhere. I URGE YOU NOT LISTEN TO POSITIVE REVIEWS I SUSPECT THEY HAVE NO EXPERIENCE OR ARE BUDDIES WITH OWNERSHIP. TRY IT AND LEARN!!! Om Shanti, or As-salamu alaykum hmm..
