MAHANIYOM is a tapas/family-style Thai cuisine that brings an exceptional dining experience
to our guests by serving meticulously home-cooked style, authentic Thai cuisine made from
scratch and handcrafted cocktails in an unpretentious feel-like-home atmosphere that
reminisces our home Thailand. Walk-ins welcome. Reservations are available 30 days in advance. We are very small, we highly recommend reservations during peak hours! Reservations and dine-in guests are designated up to 90 minutes. If you are running late, please call us at (617) 487-5986. We hold the table up to 15 minutes past the reservation time.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Part neighborhood cocktail den, part tapas restaurant, this buzzy hotspot from Shōjō alum Chompon Boonnak does some of the city’s most exciting Thai food; Boston Magazine named it the city's best Thai restaurant in 2023. You won't really want to skip anything on the shareable menu, but the beef panang and crab fried rice are non-negotiable. Cocktails like the Sazerac with Thai tea-infused rye are equally top-notch, and the cozy, rustic space with exposed-brick walls is for lingering.

Very nice restaurant overall. Small, nice ambiance, more quiet than most. Excellent service, Excellent food- just a small thing: one dish was very hot even though we asked for mild: make sure you are precise with your request. I am sure I could have sent it back but I hate to do that. We will definitely continue to come here!

We had the Massaman Curry and the Chicken Ka-Praw. Both dishes were wonderful. The spices Mahaniyom uses make the dishes extremely flavorful. They were slightly spicy, but not so hot that the heat drowned out the other flavors. We can't wait to go again!

Today was cold. Wish they had some hot tea available. Coming in from the cold and only having beer, cocktail or spirits with ice? Food was great and staff were friendly, though very very busy. I liked the food as each was carefully prepared.

Really excellent food, drink, and service. Excellent and fun atmosphere. The servers and bar tenders were attentive and took care of us, but also seemed genuinely happy to be there. Had good rapport with their regular customers, but were equally good to us newbies.
