Have I ever had Indian food? Yes. Lots.This place is unique. It's quaint. It's extremely affordable. It's delicious but flavors are just different in the best way. You really have to try it yourself understand. I had cauliflower, my husband had butter chicken with garlic naan. Appetizer was mixed fried. The absolute star of the show was the free appetizers. Crisp bites with delicious fresh sauces. I'm telling you. If you're in Dorchester you need to stop and give this place a try!

Shanti is definitely the best indian food I've tried in GBA. Is it amazing food? No. The meat dishes we had were all overcooked, and gave the distinct impression of chicken being added in after the fact. However, the spice/flavor profiles were generally good, and that is hard to find in the area. I'd definitely come back if I had a hankering for classic indian restaurant-style dishes e.g. tandoori food, meat curries.

We came during the evening, the service was amazing and loved the vibes inside the place. We ordered the garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, lamb korma and of course mango lassi! The garlic naan was super tasty and so was the chicken tikka masala!

Shanti had been highly recommended to me by co-workers and friends. Food was so good! I think pricier than most Indian places but worth it. I was surprised at how empty it was on a Sunday 5:30PM - my friend and I were the only ones dining in for the whole 1.5 hours we were there. There were some take out orders, however, so perhaps it's more of a takeout place.When you arrive, you are greeted with some chips and dip. Between the two of us, we got the Shanti Special, korma, saag paneer, and garlic naan, which we intended to bring home half for our SO's at home. It was definitely a good amount of food, came out super hot, and the presentation was appealing. The server at the end was very concerned and disappointed that we had only eaten a little of the food, and she was quite worried that we did not enjoy it. We explained to her we were intentionally saving some. You can tell she cared a lot about the food there! She nicely brought us containers and bags for our left overs and let us split the check despite us putting everything onto one bill.Street parking was easy enough to find. Will be back to try other dishes on the menu! Definitely a standout Indian place in the Boston area.

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!

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

Honestly, Shanti is hands down the best Indian restaurant around Dorchester/Boston area that I ever tried. Indian cuisine is on my list of top 5 favorite type of food to indulge. Normally I would get chicken tikka masala (extra spicy ) or butter chicken. But last night, I tried their tandoori chicken for the first time and it was amazing! I've had tandoori chicken before from other places but Shanti was so much more well seasoned. Of course , I had to get it spicy. Both the flavor and spice was amazing . You can either get it as a whole chicken or half chicken. I believe it was $17-$18 for half a chicken and it's probably $35-$36 for the whole chicken. Half chicken feeds 2-3 people. It usually comes with either rice or plain naan. TIP - MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR EXTRA LEMON. IT PAIRS SO WELL WITH THE CHICKEN. As always, always ask for their condiments. All their chutney sauces is amazing. It's a must have.

Did a big to go order to give them a fair shake while finding what the local go-tos are going to be. We got dal makhani, saag paneer, chicken biryani, and tandoori chicken (chicken tikka). Along with roti and naan. They didn't ask how spicy to make anything, and honestly everything was eerily mild. To the point of being under seasoned. Nothing was really punchy and if it did carry a flavor it was a baseline funky spice that was the same across every item. It was all edible, with the exception of the dal which was too salty, and really unpleasant. That was a bummer because it's a favorite of mine. Adding cream to it the next day helped to Robert the salt down.So, while I'm definitely going to be eating the leftovers, we'll keep looking elsewhere for a go to for Indian. We already have Singh's Roti for "West Indian" (Trinidadian, in their case) around the corner from them in the meantime I guess.
