About this restaurant

Innovative
Romantic
Great for creative cocktails

Take a culinary journey through South Asian-inspired fare at Tiger Mama. This restaurant serves lunch and dinner in a vibrant space, enhanced by ferns, plants and soft wood paneling. The menu is a love story to Chef Tiffani Faison's culinary brilliance, with a list that seamlessly borrows from the Vietnamese, Thai and Malaysian cooking playbook. It offers over 30 small-to-medium plate items, broken down into relatable categories like "rich and earthy" or "cold and fresh."

In addition to its dining area, Tiger Mama also hosts a front bar managed by Brian Callahan. It serves wine, beers and exotic cocktails, such as the Taiwan On: a sweet mix of coconut, key lime, Batavia and Thai basil. Tiger Mama is open all through the week.

The restaurant was closed!!!! Open table should have let me know. I made this reservation over 2 months ago because I had a group of people coming in town. Showed up and it was CLOSED! Thanks open table for ruining or dining plans. Was too late to make a reservation anywhere else. Should be compensated

Had a great meal at Tiger Mama! All dishes were delicious and we had a mocktail that was amazing! We got four items between 2 of us and we weren’t sure if that would be enough but it was just right! Looking forward to visiting again to try some different dishes.

One of my favorite places in Boston for food and the drinks. Everything I order is always amazing. Their menu changes every so often which keeps things fresh and new, even though I am sad to see a favorite leave the menu! Great place for drinks/food with friends or a date

Our dishes were tasty and generously portioned, but would have been nice to have a few more vegetarian options, esp noodles or appetizer style dishes

Charged me double for one drink because I asked for a substitution but they didn’t even tell me they’d charge for that! Great food but completely overpriced and poor service

My friend and I who went lived in Thailand for a while and we have been search for a place in Boston that had Thai food that reminded us of where we lived. This place has some of the best Thai food we have ever found in Boston as it is the closest to Thai food from Thailand! Highly recommend for individuals looks for the true taste of Thailand.
