Mahaniyom - Brookline

Went here for Sunday lunch. Last call for lunch is ~1:30/1:45PM and our reservation was @1.The service was good. Food arrived quickly and the waitress was friendly and helpful.The food’s presentation was top notch and the flavoring was good, but not as unique/mindblowing as I expected. We had the rambutan salad, green papaya pad Thai, Brussels sprouts, and Pad Paa. Brussels were our favorite. The portions were larger than anticipated so we took some home.Overall good, solid place.

10/10 amazing! We went once when it first opened and a year later and it was equally great each time! All the dishes were very tasty and great to share! The servers were all kind and very attentive. We will definitely be back!

The food, drink and environment are so fun here. I love the size of the tapas, not too big not too small. But perfect on paring with their cocktails. They also have a natural wine here which goes really well with all the foods.

I've been encouraged to go to this restaurant for years, and finally went with my brother the other night! I had the best pad thai i've had in Boston, I found it flavorful, fresh and not too large (which is great for someone like me who always tends to finish my plate)! I ordered a vegetarian version of it without the shrimp flake.My brother ordered the chicken skin and LOVED it, as well as the beef massaman (which was very spicy- and he loved that it was)! We both enjoyed the mushroom salad (the plaa hed), we found it to be a unique combo of flavors, but it was a bit too spicy for me.I ordered the thailand special ya dong for a drink, specifically the eleven tigers. I'm not huge on alcohol, but I wanted to try a traditional thai drink I hadn't been exposed to before, and the pickled mango and pandan water intrigued me. I didn't end up loving the pickled mango (more sour and you don't get the sweetness of the mango b/c of the pickling), and the pandan water was way too sweet (tasted like sugar water to me). The rum itself wasn't special either, but I'm not a huge alcohol person, so that might just be me!I'll definitely be back for food and to try other vegetarian dishes on their menu.Vegetarian options: Not a ton of vegan/vegetarian options (especially if you can't do fish sauce), so keep that in mind if you fall into those categories!

Wow. It's true what they say in the reviews. Every dish tastes distinct. Love the grilled beef tongue, sauteed morning glory, deep fried chicken skins, pork cheek, and beef massaman. Pretty much every dish is my favorite, including the sticky rice, which we had seconds. Would definitely be back very soon.
