Shanti Restaurant - 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.

Serves Authentic Indian food. Have an amazing range of both north and south Indian cuisines. The staff is well behaved and service is reasonably fast. Buffet is priced reasonably at ~15$.

Good restaurant that I found on business trip. The portions are big and come with rice so if you order naan as well it’s a lot of food. The restaurant is small bit nice interior. The tikka masala was good both in taste and portion size.

It’s a beautifully thought out space for Indian cuisine right in the heart of Cambridge at Kendall. It’s walking distance from the Kendall/MIT stop on the MBTA Red line. The place is usually open till 10 PM. We reached around 8-55 so had an hour almost. We instantly got a table and didn’t have to wait. Going for the dahi vada and samosa was an obvious choice and the samosa turned out to be much better than the former. We then ordered the Paneer tikka which came with a side of either rice or naan. The paneer tasted okay. We wrapped it up with Rasmalai which was nice. They serve complimentary papad and three chutneys - onion, mint and tamarind. They also stock Taj Mahal beer which is imported from India. Overall a very satisfying experience. P.S. - Last orders for food are to be given before 9-45 PM as that’s their cutoff time.

The best Indian lunch buffet (all you can eat) in the Cambridge/Boston area! The main issue with Indian buffet places is that the food is often times constantly heated and loses all its freshness and flavors. However, at this restaurant it is served in limited (refillable) quantities in cute stackable containers or “tiffin boxes” directly at your table! The food is flavorful, nutritionally balanced (for both vegetarians as well as non vegetarians) and is served with a cup of masala chai and Parle-G! Will definitely be adding this to my lunch rotation!

1. Decent buffet options. A couple appetizers, 2-3 vegetarian and non vegetarian main course options along with naan/ rice and a sweet dish 2. Average price 3. Clean ambience and courteous staff 4. Taste - 3.5/5 5. Has decent options for wine

Enjoyed dinner 2 days in a row here. The quality and taste of the food really breast my expectations. Chicken was tender and the paneer gravy had the right texture and take.
