Neighbourhood 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 neighbourhood 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 cosy, rustic space with exposed-brick walls is for lingering.

For anyone who has visited Thailand this is what you wished all American Thai restaurants strived to achieve, much less accomplish

The food and cocktails were outstanding. The only reason I took stars off is because the restaurant is extremely small and we had to awkwardly stand in the middle of the dining room while waiting for our table to be ready. Definitely nothing serious enough to deter you from trying this fantastic spot. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing, Brookline village is a bit of a trek from the city but completely worth it!

The food was very good, but not extraordinary - not sure what all the hype is about. It is just a slight step up from our usual thai place. The service was great - but very dark and cramped space.
