About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for creative cocktails
Hot spot

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.

The food was absolutely amazing and flavorful. We highly recommend the pomelo salad to start. The combination of citrus, lemongrass, and fried shallots was delicious. We also got the Pla Lui Suan (whole branzino topped with fresh herbs and sweet chili sauce) which was also great. Service was prompt, and the employees were all so nice. The space is small so it definitely feels crowded no matter where you sit or stand. Seating is not plus size friendly due to space limitations. It was a pricey dinner but well worth it.

The reviews are off the chart so we had to try it. I thought the food was good. Noise level Way too high. No ambience. Small place very crowded. I liked the food but can’t give it 5 stars. Sorry.

Great food every time. It is quite spicy so be prepared but the dishes are all indicated as such and I loved it. Very cool drinks too - the Pure Sin is my go-to.

I love this restaurant this is our second visit a year later. It was just as amazing this time around. They had a prawn special and the sauce was a delicate lemongrass, coconut and ground pork masterpiece. It needs to stay on the menu. I brought my husband for his birthday it was a top tier experience. The staff are great at their jobs and so nice. The drinks were a highlight a good cocktail brings an evening together for me. I had a rum and pandan drink with a smokey effect and it was delicious. Highly recommend this spot!
