" What an experience! The food was divine, yet the service left much to be desired. I felt like we were abandoned for quite some time, and it took too long to receive our order. The highlights were the gosht kebabs and the mango lassi – both were exceptional. However, the entire experience was marred by the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Shanti was mixed. While the food tasted fresh and had its moments, I found it lacked depth in flavor. The ambiance is nice, but it feels too crowded at times. Overall, a decent place but not my top choice for Indian. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is consistently good at Shanti! I've been a regular and the flavors are really satisfying. The dishes are true to their Indian roots, and the variety is quite commendable. It's a great place for takeout as well; I've never been disappointed! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't rave enough about my experience at Shanti. Last dinner included a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes which were all flavorful and well presented. The highlight was definitely the paneer bhurji which was spicy and packed with flavor. The garlic naan complimented the dishes perfectly. The service was attentive despite a busy night and the ambiance felt cozy yet vibrant. It's a restaurant I would recommend without hesitation for anyone looking to indulge in genuinely good Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was expecting a lot more from Shanti based on its reputation. The food was decent but lacked that authentic punch I look for. Service was average, and the atmosphere was nothing out of the ordinary. I might give it another chance, but it wasn't a memorable experience for me. " (*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*)
