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.

    I ordered the three most popular dishes without shellfish and really didn’t like any of them. I would not return.

    Food came out very fast. Great if you’re in a hurry, a little pressured if you’re not and you’re sharing.

    We dine frequently at Mahaniyon Why? It’s in our neighborhood, It’s a small place to dine, The food is wonderful! The staff, welcoming ! We often more than not opt for the bar seats, and the staff can not be matched! They are warm, friendly and make us feel like old friends!

    Spectacular all around - the staff, cocktails, and food - just amazing. The brussel sprouts and the crab curry are to die for! Also enjoyed the razor clams special. Just go and experience it yourself - you won’t be disappointed!

    This is a great and authentic Thai spot. Cocktails are special, the room is warm and friendly. I only wish they had more gluten free options. Everything is delish.
