Don’t Tell Aunty

Don’t Tell Aunty serves Indian food on Boylston Street, with a menu that puts street-food dishes and playful combinations alongside curries. Bombay vada pav tucks a spiced potato fritter into a bun, while other options include chicken tikka, kothu paratha and rasam ramen. Butter chicken and lentils with rice give you more familiar starting points.

The range makes it a place to order several dishes across the table rather than treat dinner as one curry and a side. There’s also a drinks program, so the meal can include cocktails or beer. The restaurant offers dine-in service, pickup and delivery. For a first visit, read beyond the curry section: the snacks, breads and sandwich-style dishes explain much of what makes this particular menu different.
