" Having eaten Indian food at numerous places, I can say Shanti serves some of the best. Their variety is impressive. The lamb curry was rich without being overwhelming, and their desserts were delightful, especially the gulab jamun. The prices are reasonable considering the quality. I'll be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty decent meal at Shanti recently. The chicken tikka masala was reasonably good, though I've had better in the past. I felt the service was a bit slow as it took time to get someone's attention for refills. Overall, not bad but could improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic Indian restaurant! I ordered the aloo gobi, which was perfectly spiced, and the garlic naan, which was to die for! The staff was incredibly attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. A delightful dining experience that I'll be sure to repeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an underwhelming experience during my last visit. The food lacked flavor, and the service was too slow for my taste. I tried the fish curry, hoping for some zing, but it left me disappointed. I do appreciate the ambience, but a restaurant relies on good food above all else. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just wow! Shanti has raised the bar for Indian cuisine in Boston. The tandoori chicken was some of the best I've had, and the spicing was on point. Plus, the staff made sure we had a great experience. Definitely will return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me just say, Shanti has won my heart! Each bite of food is bursting with authentic flavors. The biryani is magnificent and you absolutely must try the chai – it was heavenly! It’s a cozy place perfect for a family meal or a casual date night. " (*Curated Review*)

" Shanti has quickly become my go-to for Indian food! From the moment you walk in, the welcoming ambiance sets a great tone. I ordered the tandoori chicken and it was absolutely succulent, with perfect char and flavor. The butter chicken was just the right level of creamy. Highly recommend getting the mango lassi to cool down those wonderful spices. A meal here guarantees a burst of flavors with every bite. " (*Curated Review*)
