The food is amazing! A lot of people mentioned about the crab fried rice but I don't love it as much because of too little crab! From the 2-3 times I've been here, I had to add shrimp to this dish as well! I love the pad thai and I am not really a pad thai person! I also love the pork cheeks here! The service was great! Busy place! read more

Mahaniyom - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Mahaniyom is a wonderful and welcomed addition to the growing Thai stronghold in Boston. Unique Thai-style tapas and small entrees that are perfect for sharing. My family and I walked in aroud 5:15 on a Sunday night and walked in for dinner service at the bar. Although we didn't get drinks, we did feast on several items. Pomelo salad was light and unique for Boston Thai food, the crab fried rice was filled with plump and fresh crab meat, the beef panang had a deep flavor with tender meat, and the crab curry was so fun to dip the rice noodles into. For 3 people, these dishes were considered 3 "big" tapas and 1 "small" tapa and were enough to fill us up. Although I did have my eye on the branzino for the longest time...which I will come back for Would love to try their sister restaurant, Merai, which is just next door and currently hosts one of my favorite Boston-based pop-ups, Newbery Street which does Thai-style coffee/matcha and salt bread. read more

This is billed as a thai tapas/small plates place. The thing I hate about tapas places (at least in the US) is that the portions are tiny and the prices are extremely high. Mahamiyom was the exception to the rule. The portions were large enough that my party of 6 could all have a fair serving of each dish without needing any repeats. Each dish was beautifully crafted and presented. The wait staff was excellent. Overall I would 100% recommend this restaurant! read more

Loved this Thai tapas restaurant!! It received a Michelin Bib Gourmand award four months ago so it can be hard to secure a reservation, but if you go early you can sit at the bar or by the entrance. The place was charming, buzzing (but not loud), and had great atmosphere. Service was fast and the waitstaff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We started with the Yum Som O (Pomelo) seasonal salad and were blown away by the flavors. The ship was delicious and cooked to perfection. A fabulous dish!! Next, we had the Larb Ped with minced duck meat. It was flavorful, but not as mind blowing as the salad. Last, we had the Pad Paa a spicy vegetable curry that was a unique blend of flavors. The drinks menu includes cocktails and a curated menu of wine and beer options. Street parking can be difficult to find, so allow extra time if you have a reservation. This restaurant is a true local gem read more

Good food and drinks but vibes were more bar like than restaurant. Drinks are tasty and had some interesting combinations. We snagged a reservation but the only one available was for 10pm. Not sure if the music is turned up all night but at 10pm it was hard to hear each other talk. I think my favorite was the pad Thai and curry with the chicken skin being a close second. Portions range from a light tapa to a full portion. We definitely were hungry and ordered too much for two but we happily took home leftovers. Some things were slightly saltier than what I would've liked but it goes well with rice in those cases. read more

TAKEOUT review * My daughter's friend recommended this place. Easy to order online. Keep in mind they are tapas so the quantity is smaller than an entree. There were 6 of us and we ordered 6 things, and fortunately we weren't ravenously hungry because otherwise we might've needed at least 3 more. We ordered mushroom salad, pad paa (a scrumptious concoction of veggies in sauce that comes with jasmine rice), crab fried rice, roasted brussel sprouts, grilled pork cheek, chicken ka praw. The order was ready for pickup within 30 minutes (which is what it predicted online). The food was freshly made, hot, ready to go at 8 p.m. and the staff were friendly and helpful. It looked like the customers there were having a fun time. We all really enjoyed every bite, particularly the pad paa with jasmine rice. It ended up being enough food for us as well. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and was able to get a seat at the bar immediately. It was busy but you probably could have gotten a table if you waited for a short bit. Still, the bar had free seats so no problem with lunch seating for us! We ordered the salt and pepper pork cheek, crispy chicken skin, and massaman curry and everything was great! Salt and pepper pork cheek ($17) - with some spicy peppers and cilantro, this pork was wonderfully crispy and had a good balance of meat and fat. Although some pieces were a little dry from being fried, it was overall a good dish. The size was a bit small though for the price. Beef Massaman ($15) - LOVE this curry and love that it comes with roti too. The coconut cream was nice and sweet while it still had some spice. The beef was tender and fall apart, and the crispy shallots on top added some nice texture. The roti was crispy and had a nice chew - I wish there was a little more roti but overall a great dish. Crispy Chicken Skin ($9) - this came with a sweet chili sauce for dipping and was really crispy! I don't think the actual chicken skin was seasoned though so it was a bit bland without the sauce. Still, it hit the spot for something crunchy and fried. We also had a $3 sticky rice which was good and a nice addition to the pork and beef dishes. Overall, the dishes were great! There were a few things for each dish that I'd change and the prices were a bit steep given the size of each dish, but it was a solid meal! I'd love to come back and try the pork belly dish or the oysters some day! read more

I did not reserve a table, but called ahead to see if there would be a wait. When we got there, they said a table would be 20 min wait or if we sit on the ledge by the window, we can get seated immediately. It was just me and my fiancé so we sat by the window. We ordered 3 dishes. The larb ped, pad paa, kang puu. The larb ped was minced duck. I thought it tasted really flavorful. Pad paa was a jungle curry paste with a lot of different vegetables. The Thai eggplant tasted so good in the sauce! We also had Kang Puu which was a crab curry. This was my favorite dish. We had rice noodles on the side and they were perfect in the curry, grabbing onto all of the soupy flavor! read more

Mahaniyom was one of the highlights of my first trip to Boston. After a long day of travel, I ordered delivery to my hotel room, and the meal exceeded every expectation. Having enjoyed Thai cuisine in cities such as Chicago and Washington, DC, I can confidently say this was some of the best Thai food I've ever had. The quality, flavor, and execution were exceptional. The Fried Chive Cake was the standout dish and a pleasant surprise. It offered flavors and textures unlike anything I've encountered elsewhere. The Crab Fried Rice was rich and satisfying, while the Roti was the perfect complement to the meal. The experience was so good that it reminded me of meals I've enjoyed in Bangkok. That's not praise I give lightly. Highly recommended and absolutely worth seeking out. read more

It was fairly difficult to get a good reservation here, so the experience was a bit disappointing. I felt the curries tasted on par with other Thai spots in the area, and the drinks sounded better on paper than they really were. The restaurant is small, dimly lit, intimate, and the service was good. The pomelo salad was my favorite, so fresh and balanced and the shrimp inside were cooked perfectly. The roti that came with the beef massaman also stood out to me! Not sure if those are enough to get me to go back, but would recommend those two. read more

My favorite was the pomelo salad, I recommend getting it as an appetizer. The curries were not that good to be honest. I thought they were very sweet with a strong coconut milk base, which I personally don't like but if you do, get the crab curry. The fried chicken skin was unimpressive. I thought it'd be like the Jollibee fried chicken skin (iykyk) but it was unseasoned and unbattered deep fried chicken skin with sweet chili sauce. For the struggle of booking a reservation, I think the dishes weren't as good as I thought they'd be. read more

We had a great experience at Mahaniyom. The service was excellent, and one thing I really appreciated was that the food wasn't overly salty or under-seasoned--it was well balanced. The fried chicken skin was a standout. The crispy skin paired perfectly with a cold beer. The Pad Thai was also delicious, the Brussels sprouts were wonderfully crispy with a simple but flavorful seasoning, and the beef Massaman curry was rich and comforting--I'd definitely recommend ordering a bowl of rice to go with it. The pork cheek was incredibly tender and very filling. Not every dish was a hit, though. The crab fried rice was a bit disappointing. It was essentially regular fried rice with just a few pieces of crab sprinkled on top, so it didn't feel worth ordering. The crab curry was also a letdown. If you do order it, I'd recommend having it with rice instead of the rice noodles, as I think that would make it more enjoyable. Overall, the quality of the food and the excellent service made for a very enjoyable meal, and I'd happily come back to try more dishes. read more

Came here yesterday with 3 others for a 7:30pm reservation that I booked a month in advance. Otherwise, you're looking at a 4pm or 10pm reservation. Found street parking easily on surrounding streets. The restaurant is small, with low tables, high tables, and bar seating. The other reviewers are accurate in saying that the table next to you is only a few inches away. For 4 of us, we ordered 2 Thai iced teas, khao tang na tung (rice crackers), jor puu, kai tod had yai (fried chicken), beef massaman, classic pad thai, and crab fried rice. I was not a huge fan of the rice crackers as they tasted a bit bland. Standouts were the crab fried rice and the beef massaman. Jor puu was good, the fried chicken was good, although it seemed less fried and more grilled. Pad thai was average to me as were the Thai iced teas. Overall, was a good meal and we left satisfied and full. But I don't think it was exceptional enough to warrant a month-long waitlist for a normal dinner time, although I'm sure much of this is due to making Bib Gourmand recently. Glad I got to try it once but there are other Thai places I'd be more willing to go back to. read more

I had an amazing dinner at Mahaniyom. This place has been on my list for a while and I'm so glad I tried it! Everything on the menu looked amazing and we ordered a delicious selection. My highlights were definitely the Pad Thai and the Beef Panang Curry - they were phenomenal. The place is a small, intimate restaurant that feels chic and classy but is also very cozy at the same time. The servers were great, and the food was served quickly. I really enjoyed my experience here! read more

"Best Thai Restaurant" in "Best of Boston 2025"! I met up with colleagues so that we can order more dishes; everyone was very satisfied. Yum Som O (Pomelo Salad): Absolutely divine! So delicious it brought tears to my eyes... The sweet and sour juiciness of the grapefruit, the crisp and oily aroma of the fried shallots, the crunchy and fatty aroma of the cashews, the subtle sweetness and fragrance of the roasted coconut, the umami and grainy texture of the shrimp flakes, the savoriness and slightly sweetness of the fish sauce, the slight spiciness of the chili... the layers were incredibly rich and perfectly balanced, a truly delightful experience. Salted Pepper Pork Cheek: The seasoning was layered, not just salt and pepper, but also leaving a complex aroma of cilantro stems, garlic, and shallots in the aftertaste; the slight spiciness made it perfect with drinks. But wouldn't it be better with pork belly? The cheek meat wasn't that fatty, making it more suitable for grilling; frying resulted in a dry and hard texture rather than crispiness, and the oily flavor wasn't strong enough. Kai Tod Had Yai Sticky Rice: My first time trying Thai fried chicken. It was juicy but not very so, the crust was a bit hard, and the lemongrass flavor wasn't very prominent. Eating it with sticky rice is recommend, that way is definitely authentic, but I really didn't understand how these two dry ingredients blend with each other. Beef Massaman: The beef was stewed until tender and flavorful, and the Massaman curry was a bit peculiar! It was sweet and sour at first, with a pineapple-like fruity aroma, layered with a rich milky flavor. It was the first time I'd ever had curry like this; paired with roti, it reminded me of the "Indian flying bread印度飛餅" in most of the Cantonese restaurants from my childhood. Crab Fried Rice: The first bite was amazing! The freshly cooked fried rice was still steaming hot, each grain distinct, fragrant but not greasy, with the sweetness of the crab meat bursting in the aftertaste; a touch of fish sauce added a striking sweet and umami flavor, and a rich fermented aroma. But after a few more bites, as it cooled slightly, the rice became a bit too soft, and the wok hei鑊氣 (wok aroma) diminished considerably. If the rice wasn't pre-coated by the egg yolk before going into the wok, the fried rice would be a bit lacking. Classic Pad Thai: Actually, I think it's more "fancy" than "classic", but I was so happy to finally have Pad Thai in Boston area that wasn't overly sour! The rice noodles were stir-fried with a wonderful wok hei, the sweetness of the onions and palm sugar was prominent, and the crushed shrimp and peanuts added layers of savory flavor. The Jumbo black tiger prawns were very fresh, firm, and bouncy. read more

I heard this place got busy really fast with reservations so we arrived shortly after 4 pm for a party of 3 and had the choice of sitting at the bar or sitting at a table (but had to leave by 5:15 due to reservations). The staff were really nice and helpful and it wasn't too loud even though it was a pretty small restaurant. They said that for 3 people they estimated 4-5 dishes to share would be good, but we only got 3 and still felt really full. We got the pad Thai, crab curry, lamb satay with peanut sauce, and 2 extra bowls of rice, which was in total around $86. The food was really good and we would definitely go again. read more

Overall, very disappointing. Mahaniyom has a lot of hype, but our meal simply did not live up to it. The Pad Thai itself had good flavor, but the shrimp were rubbery and overcooked, almost as if they had been precooked and reheated. The crab fried rice was even more disappointing--it had almost no flavor at all and mostly just tasted salty. Their signature crab curry was the best dish we tried. The curry had a nice rich, nutty flavor, but I really did not understand pairing it with vermicelli. I made the mistake of mixing all of the noodles into the curry, and it diluted the flavor and ruined what had been a good dish. I think it would have been much better served with rice. The servers were very friendly and pleasant, which I appreciated, but the stools were unbelievably uncomfortable, and the crab curry was served in a visibly chipped bowl. I would have had no problem with the prices if the food had been excellent, but for what we received, it felt expensive and underwhelming. I genuinely do not understand how this earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but based on our experience, I will not be coming back. read more

Second time here was another hit. We did it more tapas style and split 4 dishes: fried chive cake, pork cheek, pomelo salad, and beef massaman. The pomelo salad and beef massaman were both perfect dishes. The pomelo salad was fresh, tangy, and sweet with big pieces of shrimp. The textures worked together so beautifully. This was probably my favorite dish of the night, I would come back just for this. Beef massaman had a rich caramelized flavor with plenty of tender pieces of beef. Pork cheek was very salty in the best way. It was a bit dry but if you like a less fatty pork cut you'd probably be satisfied. Fried chive cake was perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. The sauce was delicious. Food comes out quickly, especially the smaller plates. Service is attentive despite how busy and hectic the place feels! Love love love Mahaniyom!! read more

Similar vibe to Chalong in NYC. Sat at the bar before our table was ready. The bartender was very friendly and the cocktails were adventurous with a Thai twist. I especially liked the rambutini. The fried chive cakes and jor puu were both amazing. The beef masaman, classic pad Thai and branzini were fantastic. The chicken ka prow was okay. This is a tapas place so the servings are not large. Would order 2-3 dishes per person read more

Came here for an early dinner on a weekend at 5pm and I only had to wait 5-10 minutes without a reservation for a party of 1. I got seated at the bar and the bartenders were very nice and helpful with recommendations on food and drinks. I got the beef panang which was delicious and the kin na ree drink which was nice and strong. I also ordered the salted pepper pork cheek after finishing my main and drink because I really wanted an additional item. While it was nicely flavored, it was little too charred/overcooked which made it hard to chew. I would definitely come back to try more drinks and food next time I'm back in Boston though and maybe bring some of my friends. read more

On my journey of trying all the Boston 2025 Bib Gourmand restaurants this has been my favorite so far. It was great Thai food.

Mahaniyom absolutely lived up to its Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition -- this was a truly delicious, memorable dining experience. The restaurant is small, which definitely adds to how hard it is to snag a reservation, but the food, service, and vibe make it completely worth it. The Thai menu is served in a more tapas-style format, encouraging you to try a variety of dishes -- and you should. Standouts for us were the pomelo salad (bright, fresh, perfectly balanced) and the massaman curry, which I can confidently say is the best Thai curry I've ever had in my life. No exaggeration. Cocktails were Thai inspired and delicious. Service was impeccable -- our server was attentive, kind, and clearly passionate about the food. Add in the cozy atmosphere and a playlist full of great 2000s throwbacks, and the whole experience felt warm, fun, and effortless. One of my absolute favorite restaurants in the Boston area, hands down. Can't wait to come back. read more

I've been to Mahaniyom a few times now and it's still one of my favorite restaurants to recommend. It's a smaller space with intimate but lively atmosphere. Dinner time is really fun because they turn up the music and the restaurant is darker. They also make really fun and delicious cocktails. The waitstaff are always friendly and attentive. I have never had a bad experience with service. My friends and I usually eat family-style and share everything. I've yet to find a dish that I do not like The green papaya salad with soft shell crab was so good. It was a perfect contrast to the other sauce-heavy dishes. The crispy chicken skin was our favorite! It was unsalted and fried to perfection. The sauce that accompanied was so good and paired well with other dishes too. The pad thai was delicious and the prawns were so big. The crab curry was good, but I do wish there was a stronger crab flavor. The beef panang was so amazing. The meat was tender and the sauce was rich and well-seasoned. I personally liked mixing the crab curry and panang sauce with rice. read more

Everything was really good and quick service. The place gets super busy so def need reservations. They do let you know when your time is up for the next guests as well. Parking is street and we came On a Sunday night so not too bad. The only caveat I would say is the lack of hot sauce flavors. Thai food can be spicy but none of our dishes had that extra kick if you know what I mean. Siracha was an option but wish they had more authentic hot sauce choices for all these fabulous dishes. read more

Finally ate here in person and they really didn't disappoint. We walked in at around 4:50pm for early dinner for 2 and sat at their open seating high top table.

The tofu was really mild and subtle but a great balance to the larb and pork cheeks. Definitely recommend. read more

Small, loud, dark restaurant that easily gets crowded anytime but somehow, the wait staffs are always so attentive and friendly. One of the best customer service. I would recommend this restaurant for a date or hanging out with friends, more for the younger crowds who doesn't need extreme fluorescent lights like a corporate office just to see what they're eating or reading their menu. Also to note, its cramped but not as bad as NY where you have to share your table with other parties. Oysters - Cotuit (Nantucket, MA) - highly recommend if you eat raw oysters. All the side sauces are great with local oysters and I love that it's from Nantucket. Just thinking of it is making me crave it. Adding fried onions gave it a nice crunch to just traditional raw Northeastern oysters. Pad Thai - delicious and perfectly seasoned. Not a lot and not overall sweet. If you have a peanut allergy then just let them know to not include any. For those who with tree-nut allergen, you will be fine with this dish. I like that they actually included fresh bean sprouts and shrimps. Opt of out of tofu if you have a soy allergen. Crab fried rice - oh so delicious with real crab meat. I enjoyed this a lot and would get it again, next time I am here. Eating some cucumbers on the side satisfy what the back of my mind where I can already hear my Asian mom yelling at me for not eating enough veggies. Overall experience was wonderful and would recommend anyone to stop by! Parallel parking but that's the norm for this area. Prices are moderate; not expensive but not cheap enough to be first high school/college date. read more

This place came highly recommended as one of the top restaurants in Boston, so I had high hopes. Unfortunately, I was quickly disappointed by the slow service, very salty food, and cramped seating. Since it is critically acclaimed as a top Thai restaurant in the Boston area, I made reservations for lunch on a Monday. However, we ended up being the first customers in the restaurant that day despite there being plenty of empty seats. Even with the restaurant mostly empty, the service was unexpectedly slow. The food was so salty that I found myself chugging water throughout the meal. The seating was also very cramped--another party was seated right next to my table, even though many tables were empty. It was uncomfortably close and made it difficult to get out of my seat to exit the restaurant. Overall, for the price point and quality of food, I'm skeptical about the hype surrounding this restaurant. read more

The flavors here are outstanding. My taste buds were dancing the whole time. Now that I've written this review I realize I need to go again.

First time at a tapas-style Thai restaurant. Great opportunity to sample a wide variety of dishes. Pomelo salad was an absolute highlight: bright citrus, strong umami, perfect spice level. The menu includes all the hits you would expect from a Thai restaurant, with a level of spice that is bold, but not overpowering (you can request the spice level to be turned down, and they will happily oblige). Drink service was a bit slow, but it didn't put a damper on the evening. Definitely a spot to enjoy once in a while with a group of friends/family, but for the price probably not making it your go-to place for Thai cuisine. read more

Food is absolutely incredible. No notes I wish I had been more hungry when I went! Service was great as well. Our server recommended the pomelo salad and it was so fresh and spicy - maybe the best thing I ate. The crab curry was another hit for me. The flavors here are unreal and the portions are good for tapas as well. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that it is so small and we were packed in the restaurant. I had to squeeze to get into my seat and didn't ice that. Also they allowed us to make a 10pm reservation but food last call was at 10:25pm. Seems a little rushed! But I will definitely be going back! read more

Sometimes when I hear so many good reviews for a spot, I start to worry my expectations will be too high. No issues with that whatsoever at Mahaniyom! Even as someone with a nut and shellfish allergy, I left full and satisfied with my meal here. My personal favorite of the night was the fried chive cake - I was initially super skeptical because it looked just okay but I loved the taste and texture! My husband's favorite was the Kang Pu / crab curry, saying it reminded him of his absolute fav Thai spot from when we lived around NYC. Our must haves of the night were the fried chive cake, salt and pepper pork cheek, and crab curry. The other two dishes were good but not as great as the others. read more

Came out with a group of friends and was really curious on the concept of Thai tapas, but the execution was fantastic. It's a really busy and packed place, so expect to be a bit squeezed together, but the vibes and music are great. The service was fast, they weren't the nicest, but in general it was fine. We ordered the khao tang na tung, crab fried rice, beef panang, yum som, and a few other things I'm probably forgetting. Everything was fantastic, the salad was definitely the star of the show, would definitely recommend! read more

Never disappointed here! They were able to seat a party of three last minute at the bar, which I am so grateful for! We ordered a plethora of dishes, mostly ones we have already tried and knew we loved! I always enjoy starting with their deliciously fried and chewy chive cakes, then their brussel sprouts. This time, we tried their crab on top of a crispy rice cracker and it will now be on my ordering list for every future visit! The crispy cracker was the perfect vessel for the smooth and creamy crab topping. I also loved the pomelo salad, one of my staples! So much flavor mixed into the small bowl, and with a good spicy kick. Our crab curry was also amazing, we ended up slurping the entire bowl! Overall, we always have an amazing experience here. read more

Delicious! Highly recommend the beef massaman or beef panang - they are kind of similar though so would recommend only ordering one of the two. The pad thai is also tasty- a lot more moist than normal pad thai. I liked the fried chive cakes; they taste similar to Korean chive pancakes. Salt and pepper pork has a slight kick to it. I liked it but was more excited by the other dishes. All in all great experience! read more

Such a fun high-end Thai restaurant in the greater Boston area! Cool concept with making it a Thai tapas bar -- especially fun if you like sharing a bunch of things. I've been here a few times and love it each time. The servers are all so sweet and helpful if you don't know what/how much to order. For drinks, I recommend the Rambutini, which is basically a lychee martini (and one of the better one's I've had too). Food: - Nang Kai Tod (5/10): Not too memorable in my opinion, def better things on the menu - Kai Tod Had Yai (8.5/10): I love a good fried chicken, and the sweet chili sauce that comes with this is SO good - Beef Massaman (8.7/10): Such a flavorful curry with tender beef. Slightly spicy, but not too bad - Kang Puu crab curry (9.6/10): This is my favorite curry I've had here. Truly so flavorful! - Chicken Ka-Praw (10/10): If you like spice and thai basil definitely order this!! My favorite dish at Mahaniyom, I order it every time. They are so deserving of the Michelin Bib Gourmand award! read more
