Great Indian food as a local option near Southie – We really like the food at this restaurant (although probably prefer the Indian food at Punjab (Arlington) or India Quality (Kenmore Square). But this is a fantastic local option for us. We always get take-out and the food is ready quickly. Watch out for delivery, however. We only tried to have the food delivered once and it took almost 2 hours to get here! We now always go to pick up the food ourselves. But it's worth it.

Fresh, affordable Indian fare has a home in Dorchester. – In Short In promising a combination of classic and modern Indian cuisine, Shanti (Sanskrit for "peace") delivers a lengthy menu of the familiar and the unfamiliar. Highlights include a bargain lunch buffet, the contents of which change daily, and tender Tandoori specials that are marinated for 12 hours before being slow-cooked in the oven. As with any solid Indian restaurant, Shanti offers patrons to fine-tune their selections depending on how much heat they can take.

Great food, but not opened the week of 8/13. – I'm not attempting to say that a restaurant is exempt from vacation, but their restaurant should be available all year. I attempted to purchase dinner at Shanti for this evening and learned that they went on vacation. (???) Good thing I called first. I'm disappointed because I have to go elsewhere, but business must be good.

Indian food in the DOT – My husband and I have been living in the area for over a year and we just discovered this hidden jem of a restaurant! OH MY GOSH! Shanti is wonderful! I was never an Indian food eater and now I have to go to Shanti once a month to get my fix. Our first time there we had take out and last night was our first time sitting down. It was Valentines Day so the place was mobbed. We had a reservation and had to wait 15 minutes to be seated. But once we sat down we had great service. I highly recommend a visi... read more

I love the shanti – One of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to. Unbelievable food and great service. Try the vegetable biryani. Good daily specials as well.

Diamond in the Rough – The restuarant seems to have transcended from the Back Bay into the middle of Dorchester from the incredible detailed facade as well as the great tasting, authentic Indian cuisine. The menu is extensive, except among the appitizers, and the waitstaff is friendly and knowledgable. The meal itself is incredibly affordable (2 glasses of wine, app, 2 entrees sub $60) yet the tastes didn't reflect it. A definate find for those living south of the city! We went on a Sunday evening and there was virtually no ... read more
