  Silk is easily one of the best hidden gems in Boston, and it deserves all the praise it gets. I came here specifically to try the food, and the signature bao completely lived up to the hype. The bao buns were incredibly soft, pillowy, and packed with an amazing depth of flavor. You can also tell why this place is so highly recommended for its flatbreads—the crust was absolutely perfect. Every dish we ordered showed a ton of care and high-quality execution from the kitchen. What really sets this place apart, though, is the incredible atmosphere they curate at the start of the week. If you visit on a Monday, they feature live jazz that completely elevates the entire dining experience.

  Dining at Silk was an absolute masterclass in gastronomy. From the very first bite to the last, the food was nothing short of spectacular—perfectly executed, deeply flavorful, and beautifully presented. It’s rare to find a restaurant where every single dish leaves you completely speechless, but Silk manages to hit the absolute peak of culinary excellence. An unforgettable experience. If you haven't been here yet, you are truly missing out on perfection

  We enjoyed a delicious dinner with live music at The Silk. The food is full of flavor and service was attentive. If you love spicy food, the firecracker cauliflower is a must try - bold, crispy and addictive. The herb-crusted lamb chops were incredibly tender, served over a silky parsnip puree that tied everything together beautifully. We're already excited to come back and explore their curry dishes next

  My kid and I have severe dairy allergies. After discussing this with the waitress and ordering based on her recommendation, my meal came out with cream swirled on top. I ordered a desert labeled dairy free. The waitress double checked with the chef and it infact had cream in it. So, their menu labels for allergens aren't trustworthy. The meals took a long time to come out, when we were the only people in the restaurant and came out at very different times. So, my kids meals came out way later than mine, which, as a parent, is frustrating.

  I Visited this place few weeks before and had a pretty good experience overall. The place has a nice vibe and feels more like a modern fusion restaurant than a traditional Indian spot. I tried Chicken 55, veg kheema biryani, and a dessert. The highlight for me was definitely the veg kheema biryani, it was really good and something different from the usual. The rest of the food was decent as well, nothing disappointing. Pricing was reasonable for the area, and the overall experience was smooth. The only thing that stood out a bit was the automatic gratuity. I understand it’s common, but it did make me hesitate a little about coming back with a bigger group. Overall, a good place to try, especially for the ambience and unique dishes.
