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.

You can't hear yourself or anyone else so even if the food is good, it isn't worth it. You can't enjoy a conversation.

The food was excellent. Great flavors and prepared very well—the Masamam beef and the pomelo salad were incredible.

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant it's my favorite in the area! The staff is fabulous...so accommodating and nice. The food is outstanding I can't recommend it enough. I never eat fried food but their fried chicken is unbelievable. And best pad Thai I've ever had!

It's rare you find a place where the food and the cocktails are equally awesome. The service is impeccable! I wish I lived around the corner, I'd be there all the time!

We were a party of 4. 3 newbies and I've been several times. We were seated at the high top table with stools in the front of the restaurant, which was a great spot due to the good light and a bit more separation from the other tables. The food was outstanding, everyone agreed. We shared the following dishes: Kai Tod Had Yai- Fried Chicken Pad Thai with Shrimp Tofu Song Kueng Crab Fried Rice Our server was kind, knowledgeable and provided just the right amount of attention. As usual, it was loud but not unbearable and we were able to have a conversation. Thank you!

Service was great. Food was fairly underwhelming. Green papaya pad Thai was an undistinguished, brown, sauce as were the razor clams.
