Had it with Naan, crispy and fresh. I also had a Chicken 65 which was also nice. Servers were energetic, the restaurant was almost full even though I was probably the last customer to walk in for dinner tonight. Customers at the restaurant included people of Indian origin and other ethnicities which to me is a good indication of the popularity of the restaurant.

The lamb was pretty dry, and one of their most expensive dishes. A big disappointment. It looks a lot better in the pictures than it actually was. I would definitely not recommend. Maybe just go for a basic curry dish instead. Service was not good. Not friendly either. They weren't at all busy and just non-attentive. I had to ask several times for water refills. The waiter walked by my table several times, clearly saw my empty glass, yet never once offered a refill. And it was a crazy hot day too.

I am soooo happy to finally have found an Indian restaurant where every single dish I ordered was TOOOO GOOD!!! From the delicious dosa, to its sambar, to the absolutely perfect chicken tikka masala, and the unforgettable Chana masala, wow wow wow!!! Don't forget to get some filter coffee, because it's exactly how it tastes back in India--YUM! Staff is kind and seem to be very helpful with any inquiries you may have. There is a lot of high-tops chairs, but I'm sure you're likely to find a table here to sit--and trust you'll want to because the food is THAT good!

Highly recommend getting it for lunch if you're in the area!

I was transported back to dinners from my childhood in New Delhi. I appreciated how indulgent the…read moreexperience felt. The velvet interiors in jewel tones, the well staffed team who were attentive but not overbearing, and the beautiful presentation of each dish - the experience showed the owners had invested whole heartedly in customer experience, unlike some ethnic food places that do the bare minimum. Everything here was clean, elegant, thoughtful. Now, let's talk about the food. The appetizer (beet croquette) was excellent. The usual trap with kebabs, especially vegetarian ones, is that they feel dry. This didn't. We also got paneer pasanda, which was not my favorite. It was deep fried and turned rubbery. I'm more a fan of soft paneer that melts in your mouth. The lachha paratha was good. The item I'm still thinking of is their amazing mango lassi, which is like a drinking version of srikhand! Overall, I found the pricing to be fair based on the quality of the experience ($7 lassi, $13 appetizer, $20 entree, $8 breads).

The interior has a bunch of tables, and sitting out on the patio is also delightful. Over my visits, I've ordered the palak paneer, butter chicken, chicken korma, the crispy cauliflower, and the kale and sakarkandi chaat. The chaat was incredible - I ordered this on the server's recommendation and probably could've eaten many more bowls of it! It has kale that's been battered in a flavorful layer and then deep fried until it's crispy, along with sweet potatoes and the perfect balance of sauces. Really to die for! The crispy cauliflower also hits. It has a spiced batter that coats the cauliflower and makes every bit delicious. The star of the mains may well have been the palak paneer! I feel like it's sometimes hard to find a palak/saag paneer that is flavorful and thick. This was one of the best I've had. It was super creamy, rich in flavor, and had a good ratio of palak to paneer. The special butter chicken has a nice smoky flavor that distinguishes it from other butter chickens. The shahi murgh korma was also fabulous. I've really enjoyed their garlic naan, which is charred well and fluffy. Their dinner service was a bit slow on the Friday evening we went, but we really enjoyed sitting on the patio on a beautiful night so we couldn't complain too much. I think the portions are pretty generous and the prices are fair. It's a great location, looking out on Beacon St. and right near St. Mary's and Fenway. I will definitely be back!!!!

This review falls somewhere between 3 1/2 to 4 stars…read more Ever since I heard about Don't Tell Aunty opening up last year I've been itching to get in and try it, especially as someone who loves Indian cuisine and someone who is often intrigued by fusion concepts and modern twists on classic dishes. We finally decided to go for a mid afternoon meal on a Saturday in the beginning of June. We looked at the menu online ahead of time to refresh our memories on their offerings, and the food was listed all together in a section called "all day menu". We had some dishes in mind that we wanted to try, namely the tikka tots, the mirchi bhajji and the rasam ramen. Unfortunately none of these items were on the menu when we went in. I realized that they have separate menus for lunch and dinner with the lunch menu being more limited, which I know lots of restaurants do. Nevertheless we were still excited to try the food there. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice. Beautiful design, very comfortable and the music was a vibe. Contrary to some of the other reviews here saying that the service was aloof and lackluster, we found that it was prompt and down to earth. We opted for some Indian beers over cocktails. For food we decided on some curry dishes. Boyfriend ended up with paneer butter masala, I had Goan fish curry and we split some garlic naan. The guy did warn ahead of time that the fish curry was a naturally spicy dish, to which I stated that I was totally cool with that since I love the spicier dishes. Boyfriend asked for his butter masala to be extra hot. The presentation of the entrees is absolutely stunning. The rice was fluffy and the curry hit all the flavor notes as it was a little sweet, a little spicy and a little tangy. In hindsight I think I should've asked them to make it a tad spicier for me, but the flavor was definitely there and it was a pretty solid, filling dish. Boyfriend really enjoyed his butter masala, saying that they delivered on his request for extra heat. The bread wasn't bad, though the portion is rather small and it kind of reminded me of the packaged naan bread you can get at the grocery store. Overall it was a good experience at Don't Tell Aunty. I did see on the website that they were making changes to the menu, so I look forward to seeing what else they can do.
