The food was good and spicy and a bit unique for the area. The cocktails were overpriced and it was way too loud to have a conversation. I think they need to work on the service as they try and push you out in 90 minutes but the orders take a long time to come out. The service staff was very nice and professional. I think they just need to work on timings.… And please turn down the music.

I’m giving Don’t Tell Aunty a solid 3 out of 5. The food was actually really great—we were dining with an Indian friend who confirmed the flavors were on point and authentic, which definitely says a lot. The drinks were also good, and the atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. Making a reservation was super easy, which I appreciated. That said, the experience was a little disappointing on the service side. As soon as we sat down, we were told we only had 90 minutes, which is fine if the service is quick and efficient. Unfortunately, it took quite a while for someone to bring us waters and to take our order. It just felt a little off—if you're going to limit dining time, the staff should be prompt from the start. At the end of our meal, they politely but firmly asked us to leave because another party was waiting, which made us feel rushed. Nobody wants to feel like they’re being pushed out, especially when the service wasn’t exactly fast to begin with. Also, as expected in Boston, parking can be tricky—there’s very limited street parking and garages nearby can be pricey. Overall: ✔️ Great food ✔️ Good drinks ✔️ Nice vibe ✔️ Easy reservations ❌ Slow service ❌ Rushed at the end ❌ Tough parking Would I go back? Maybe, but I’d go knowing I’m on a tight clock and I’d hope the service matches that pace.

A perfectly fine average restaurant with average food and cocktails. Prices are high for what you get.

Oh no, Ari — “perfectly fine” isn’t the kind of mischief we’re aiming for! We definitely want every bite and sip to feel worth the price and more. Your honest feedback is heard loud and clear — we’re always working behind the scenes to turn fine into fantastic.

Food tasted good but seemed as though they were having trouble in the kitchen (whether short staffed or another issue) and not communicative about the issue. Brought one main course out but not the remaining items for over 15 mins and only after asking someone did the food arrive another 5 mins later . By then the first dish was cold. They apologized for the delay but nothing else. Would have been nice if there was more communication and an effort to compensate in a small way. Music was at a good level and has a nice variety. Towards the end it started to get louder but not unbearable.

Poonam, we truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback — and you’re absolutely right. Communication is key, and we dropped the ball that night. While we’re thrilled you enjoyed the flavors and the vibe, we know the service hiccup made your visit less than perfect. The team is already working to make sure next time, your experience is as seamless as the playlist.

The food was great; however, the service was subpar! The restaurant needs to work on their service!

Nilesh, thank you for the honest words — great food is what we always aim for, but service should match the flavor! We’re working with the team to fine-tune our hospitality and make sure your next visit delivers the full DTA experience — both on the plate and at the table.

Worst Indian cuisine I’ve had in memory—insipid food, bar food for simplistic palates. “Don’t Tell Aunty???”—believe me, I won’t tell ANYBODY about this joint—family, friends…or enemies…
Don’t Tell AuntySe respondió el 16 de junio de 2025
Jill, ouch — that one stings. We never want any guest leaving with this impression, and clearly we missed the mark for you on multiple levels. While our style may not have hit your palate, your feedback is important and being shared with our team. We hope one day we might surprise you in a better way.

The Kale Chaat was excellent and original. The Butter Chicken, and Garlic Naan were very good. The two "fusion" items we tried sounded better on paper than what we were served - the Kothu Bolognese was overly dense due to the use of shredded bread instead of noodles, and the flavors weren't very distinct. The Rasam Ramen seemed more like spaghetti in a spicy tomato soup base. It was OK at best. Not reminiscent of Ramen at all. I think it's great that they're trying to mix things up, but the recipes aren't all there yet. That said, the Kale Chaat was great, and I wouldn't mind trying some of the other more traditional Indian dishes.
Don’t Tell AuntySe respondió el 3 de junio de 2025
Thanks for giving our kale chaat the gold star it deserves, Peter—we’re blushing (but still crunchy). You caught us in our fusion mischief! While we love pushing boundaries, we hear you loud and clear: some mashups still need a little extra masala. Feedback like yours helps us dial up the flavor and fine-tune the funk. Next time, we’d love to have you back to try more of our traditional hits—we promise not everything comes with a plot twist.

The food is average. Service is quite slow. We got our drinks after we had finished food.
Don’t Tell AuntySe respondió el 3 de junio de 2025
Oof, sounds like the timing of your meal needed less drama and more dhamaal. We’re so sorry your drinks were fashionably late to the party—that’s not the kind of suspense we aim for. We’ll keep working on our pace so your food and your cocktails vibe together like a perfectly matched chutney duo. Hope we get another chance to show you what we can do, Aunty-style.
