Reliable North Indian spot in Les Corts with broad vegan options, balanced spices, and mostly warm service; a few reports of small portions and occasional brusque interactions.
Why it gets an A- for overall quality
Shanti Restaurant delivers solid A-grade performance through consistently flavorful curries and reliable tandoor execution paired with attentive, friendly service that keeps the dining experience flowing smoothly. The warm, comfortable setting supports repeat visits from a loyal customer base, though the modest neighborhood location and occasional service inconsistencies prevent it from reaching grade A territory. Families and vegetarian diners will find particular value in the extensive menu and balanced spice profiles.
Restaurant Summary
Set just off Diagonal in Les Corts, Shanti feels warm and welcoming without fuss. Diners talk about friendly staff who keep things moving and a room that is cozy and comfortable. One guest summed it up: "Spices were balanced and the service just flowed," though a few mention brusque host moments around reservations. The cooking leans classic North Indian—think thalis, paneer, and tandoor—executed with a steady, traditional hand rather than showiness. Most praise the depth of sauces and fresh breads, with favorites like saag paneer and butter chicken, while a minority found some breads thick or a fried starter reheated. Portions skew moderate, so plan for a side of rice or naan. Families should do well here: mild curries, lemon rice, and breads offer easy wins, and the extensive vegetarian and vegan sections help picky and plant-based eaters. There is no specific kids menu mentioned, but the menu has plenty of familiar, gentle flavors that children will recognize.
