Shanti - Cambridge

Quick seating but the wait for the food can be long. However, you’re waiting will be rewarded with supremely delicious food.We ordered multiple dishes, being able to sample from lamb, chicken, and kebabs. The food was amazing. Would wait again.

We battled through Friday evening traffic with a confirmation this restaurant asked us to reconfirm just the day before to celebrate a birthday only to show up and see a paper written sign saying they were closed for the evening. Any prior communication would have helped. Terrible customer service will not be returning.

We were here with our team from work for dinner. It was about a couple of hours before they closed. However, it seemed like the staff was fixated on getting things wrapped up for the closing. They closed the outside seating well before we reached (they were packing up and stacking chairs when we reached the restaurant). The staff was very cordial, and the service was great. The food, though, was another story. There was nothing special about the food. There's nothing to remember it. Not bland, but just not there. Maybe we are spoilt by the quality of Indian food we get back home in New Jersey. There are several reviews raving about the food, which honestly, sounds like they have not eaten good Indian food before. All in all, if there are other options, including eating at home, take it. Maybe, when there are no reservations elsewhere, try it. Someone told me this was a chain, maybe that explains the lack of trying hard to make the food taste better. Not sure, but definitely not a restaurant i will try again when in Boston. I will take my chances with other Indian restaurants or another cuisine.

Every time I come eat here I regret it afterwards and tell myself to never come again. Writing this review to help remind myself, the food is often way oversalted. Also often too dry.

The authentic Indian food at this restaurant is delicious, and their all-you-can-eat lunch deal for $22 is a great value. With three convenient locations, a friendly manager and staff, clean environment, handicap accessibility, and kid-friendly options, this place has everything you need for an enjoyable dining experience.
