Mahaniyom

Best Thai Restaurants in Boston | Eater Boston

"This Thai tapas bar has won plenty of industry praise in its five years in Brookline, including nabbing Eater Boston’s Best New Restaurant award in 2021. Here, the menu zeroes in on a small list of really good dishes, such as the nang kai tod (crispy chicken skin), beef massaman, and moo krob pad kapi (crispy pork belly).The cocktails are fun, too: Co-owner Chompon (Boong) Boonnak is an alum of Shōjō, the funky modern Asian cocktail bar in Chinatown. (If you’re in more of a drinking-and-snacks mood, check out the team’s award-winning bar, Merai, just down the street from Mahaniyom.)" - Erika Adams
