“The reviews are a catastrophe. Dead insect in the rice, stolen delivery, silent phone lines, and a staff that doesn't answer. Indian and Bangladeshi food deserves better than this.”

I ordered the food online. And rice has a dead COCKROACH in it! I had eaten some rice and might have to visit a doctor, if I get sick I will sue them. It is seriously unsafe and unhygienic, the restaurant should be closed permanently! I will definitely report them to the…

I ordered food from their website through Toast. My food was picked up and driven to Chelsea (I don't live there). Marked as delivered and then when I called the driver the number was disconnected. The restaurant also would not answer the phone and Toast can't get in touch with…

Ordered delivery. They then told me I had to come and pick it up. Still charged me for delivery and tip for the driver. I emailed them several times. No response at all. Quality of the food has gone way down, as well. A shame, I used to love the one in Dot.

Food is great and I’m happy there is this express location available. However, the online ordering randomly shuts down and says it is not available, DURING BUSINESS HOURS! And nobody EVER picks up the phone there; it rings forever then gives a busy signal. Location is quite…

Closest halal spots to Shanti Express — same neighborhood, no detour.
Khadija's Express cafe
Roxbury
“Hidden halal gem in Roxbury—the salmon and lamb are worth the trip, but walk in with low expectations for the space and staff. Cleanliness needs work, and the owner's mood matters.”

Soul on Shawmut
Boston
“Halal soul food from the Abdul-Musawwir siblings—the chopped cheese and fried chicken are why people come back. Execution wobbles (temperature, order accuracy) but the heart is real.”

Nubian Markets
Boston · $$
halal: halal meats, jerk chicken, rice
“Nubian Markets is a gem worth defending. The jerk chicken and rice are the move — order from the hot bar, skip the inconsistent bowls, and know the halal meat counter holds its own.”
