Hands down the best Indian in the Boston area. The mulliagatawny soup is the best I have had. Chicken Tikaa masala delicious. Shrimp patia is absolutely delicious with mango sauce. The chicken tandoori is very juicy and cooked to perfection. They will cook the dishes to your spice preference.

Great food every time! I prefer everything extra spicy and when I call and to ask they are always very accommodating

Food was great, but service was a bit off, but certainly not bad. Would definitely try it again, when the urge to eat Indian strikes

Just ordered for the first time. I have enjoyed Indian cuisine in many places..having lived in NYC, San Francisco and Boston. Shanti in Roslindale far superior to many of my dining experiences.

Ordered takeout 1 week ago; food has always been excellent whether takeout or dining in. However when I reviewed Shanti the next day I noted both to them at the restaurant and in the review that we were charged two order fees and a tip that wasn't authorize unfortunatel. I was contacted by the manager today and informed that our next takeout will be discounted the amount overcharged last week. Very nice people.

I've been to the original Shanti in Dorchester years before, and liked it. But this was my first visit to their outpost in Roslindale. Their location made driving there a bit of a workaround. But one nice thing is, when you place an order online ahead of time, it gives you the option of curbside pick up. I was a bit late picking up my order. And then I still had to get it home before tucking in, so the bread was cool by then, the apps warm, while the entree remained hot. I gave their onion naan a go, and it was soft and good, but I'll probably go back to my garlic naan norm. The Veg Shanti Platter came with an assortment of their vegetable appetizers and 2 portions of each of 3 sauces. I only gave the sweet and tangy brown sauce a go since the other two tend to be spicy when I've tasted them elsewhere. There were 2 vegetable samosas (with a touch of heat in the potato filling), 1 aloo tikki patty (same, if I remember correctly), and a handful of vegetable fritters - some mixed, some likely quartered slices of potato, and I think I spotted a cauliflower one or two. Those weren't spicy, but were rather good. In place of my often ordered saag paneer, we got the malai kofta which came with either 2 or 3 (couldn't tell) rather sizeable vegetable balls hidden in a tasty vegetable cream sauce, which was accompanied with an order of basmati rice. This was ordered mild. It arrived spicy, north of what I'd consider to be light spicy, but manageable by me. Not so much by another diner though, unfortunately. I wonder if this was truly their mild, or if they read my order wrong, and defaulted to their normal spice level.

First time trying shanti and very impressed! All the flavors were on point, quality of ingredients was good and fresh, good selections too

Last day of the year deserves a 5-star Yelp review! We went to Shanti on a rainy weeknight and it was just us for dinner. The ambiance was so nice and peaceful, that we enjoyed the quiet dinner to ourselves. Roasted papad with chutneys was served on the house. We polished them off! We started with the samosas which were piping hot and crunchy. While the filling does not taste quite authentic, it was still good. The side chutneys went well with them. For dinner, we ordered the chicken tikka masala which came with rice and a side of garlic naan. The garlic naan was a delight for the eyes and mouth haha. It was the right amount of soft yet crisp, topped with lots of garlic. The chicken tikka masala was creamy with tomatoes and garam masala and paired well with both the naan and the rice. Customer service was quick and friendly. We had a lovely time and we'll be sure to visit Shanti again, especially on rainy weeknights!
