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!
April 2024
Food is great and I’m happy there is this express location available. However, the online ordering randomly shuts down and says it is not available, DURING BUSINESS HOURS! And nobody EVER picks up the phone there; it rings forever then gives a busy signal. Location is quite sketchy. Only been here once because I can’t get to order online or call the place. Very inconvenient.

I'm not an expert on Indian food but I love theirs! It's soo good. Pro tip if you get there just before closing time to pick up your order & the door is closed... just knock. I'm so glad they have this location in my neighborhood now ?
