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

We ordered Aloo Tikki, Tandoori Chicken, Papadum, Desi Salad for take out. The best thing was the packing.. next best was tandoori roti which we received as complimentary.

Got takeout from here recently and it was pretty good! I look forward to trying other types of naan in the future and increasing the level of spice that I got! If you enjoy spice, it’s on the milder side.

One of the best Indian restaurants in the Boston area, especially for north Indian food. After being disappointed with some other highly recommended places, Shanti is easily the best for quality and quantity of food each time I’ve ordered delivery.

The chicken Marcella was over cooked dry. The sauce wasn’t great. The garlic naan was burnt and the garlic taste sour. The garlic naan was burnt and the garlic taste sour. Definitely recommend avoiding this restaurant.

Amazing food! We had butter chicken and lamb saag, as well as naan and pakora. Service was incredible. We showed up 30 minutes before closing and we were not rushed and served quickly.

We had such a negative experience on Sunday night with Shanti. We ordered $75 worth of food and only an appetizer arrived. I had a really negative experience with the staff member on the phone and I paid $75 for only an appetizer to be delivered due to the incompetence of the staff to understand that there were two bags for the order. The staff member accused me of being at fault since “there aren’t usually multiple bags for an order”. I’ve contacted Door Dash who says that it’s the restaurants fault. I’ve reached out twice to the restaurant with no response. I’d really like a refund or at least a credit but nobody seems to care.

I’m from Hyde Park and passed this place I’m sure a million times and never really noticed it. I ended up being invited to a social gathering and finally had the chance to know it exists and try the food. I like Indian food but rarely eat it so this was a chance to really go all out and I did. I ordered the Mixed Grill along with some rice. I had never seen so many different types of meat on one plate. It was too good, cooked really well. All the ladies at my table were jealous since they all ordered chicken tikka masala (boring). Naturally I couldn’t eat it all at once and had leftovers for a couple days afterwards. It’s not far from me so I’ll definitely try to go back.
