“The food is nice and surprisingly tasty. The falafel is nicely presented and shawarma is on point! The plate serving is big in my opinion. The staff is very nice and always smiling!! Highly recommend for tourist whose looking for a local taste“
“They added a self order kiosk right when you walk in so saves time from waiting in line to order. Best part is still being able to get your own sauce so you can get a variety or a little bit of each one for enhanced flavor. They always keep it clean inside and the sauce counters are always clean.“
“My friend and I were craving Mediterranean food, so we decided to try Sufra - and it did not disappoint. Being from the Mediterranean myself, I am usually very critical of Mediterranean food, but this was truly amazing. Everything was so good, and I have to say the highlight of the meal was the baba ganoush and the shawarma. I had not had good shawarma in Boston until I tried Sufra's - it tasted so authentic and just like home! And the baba ganoush was to die for - the flavor was perfect. The staff are friendly, the food came quick, the portions are huge and the food is also decently priced. I had a very positive experience in Sufra - I will definitely be returning soon and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Mediterranean meal.“
“I'm absolutely smitten with this place! The falafels were bursting with flavor and had the perfect texture. Though the wrap was a bit too moist for me, it didn't ruin the experience. Plus, you get generous portions at reasonable prices. Can't wait to go back!“
“Well seasoned and delicious. My first time going it tasted like comfort food already. Friendly staff in a quiet atmosphere. I got the mint tea which was extremely refreshing and unsweetened. Bonus points for playing a rerun of an old baseball game.“
“This is such a wonderful addition to the halal food scene in Boston! This restaurant is tucked away, in a small Asian food court, and is a hidden gem! The food portions are large, and each entree is fresh and packed with a bunch of flavor (and “spicy” is actually spicy here, haha).We ordered the Spicy Beef Noodles, Samsa, and Chicken entrees and they were wonderful! We will definitely be coming back soon!!!“
“This Dave’s hot chicken location has an amazing atmosphere. I came here on a Tuesday afternoon looking for something quick to eat. The lady at the register took our order really quickly and our order came was ready in no time. I love the art on the walls which enhanced my dining experience. Overall this location is amazing and sanitary.“
“My friend and I were looking for a spot to get some dinner before a Celtics game and we were walking by New York Shawarma Guys on the way to the arena and decided to go there. We were there under an hour before tip off and it wasn’t overly busy which was nice!I ordered the lamb shawarma wrap and forgot to ask for it to be spicy, but they gave me some hot sauce on the side. The wrap was made very quickly and was tasty with a good portion of lamb. It was a pretty big wrap and left me feeling full by the time I finished it. The beef in my buddy’s falafel and beef shawarma wrap had some pieces that were pretty tough, but the shawarma wraps were good overall.When I asked about the deal that I saw on a sign out front to get a drink for free when you order a Shawarma wrap, I was told that that was just for lunch but I could grab a can of soda anyway, which was really kind of them. The service was great!Hard to beat for $12 each downtown Boston! I’ll be back!“
“I recently dined at Ali Baba Cafe, and it was a delightful experience. I started with the lahmacun and sautéed eggplant as appetizers, both of which were incredibly flavorful. The eggplant dish, in particular, deserves special mention for its underrated brilliance. The lahmacun was also a standout, perfectly capturing the essence of Turkish flavors. For the main course, I opted for the Doner Kabob, and it did not disappoint. The authenticity of its preparation was evident in every bite. My parents enjoyed the Iskender and Adana Kabob, and their satisfaction mirrored my own. Overall, my visit to Ali Baba Cafe was a culinary delight, reminding me why I fell in love with Turkish cuisine in the first place. If you're ever in Boston, this is a must-visit for any food enthusiast craving an authentic taste of Turkey.“
“Truly truly truly the greatest halal food you'll find in Boston. The Super Shawarma Sandwich is delectable, with crunchy fries and melty cheese on the inside leaving you wanting more with each bite. I also tried the Mixed Grill Plate which had an assortment of their grilled kabob meats (lamb, chicken, kafta, chicken kafta) - all phenomenal! Great service as well, they always make me feel like family. Stop by and enjoy the best halal eats in Boston.Vegetarian options: Falafel, Babaganoush, Hummus“
“Expand your culinary pallet with the cuisine at Ashur Restaurant. One thing is for sure each time you visit Asher: The food is delicious, and you are most certainly welcome. The sambusa are great! Don't forget to ask for the busbus sauce! The house sauce is homemade, and if you don't get it, you're severely missing out.If you haven't been here yet, you're missing an absolute gem. Come get some delicious, authentic cuisine ASAP.“
“The food is good especially, Pizzas are so delicious. But need deep clean, so dirty. Bad example for other culture people when they visit (it's in downtown). The toilet faucet can be fixed for $50. Just look at YouTube and change buy yourself. Tables are so oily.“
“I have been enjoying Chicken and Rice guys since it was a line of food trucks!Whether you order from the kiosk or the counter the food comes out immediately - they know how to move the lunch crowd along. I always get the chicken on rice. And I usually get the garlic sauce, the barbeque sauce or some mix of the two. It's consistently good, but your other options are tofu or gyro - but I've never had either. They have cans of soda (coke company!) and some house made beverages. Always a delicious meal. This is the only brick and mortar location I've ever been to - and though I liked the Cheeseboy that was here years before, Chicken and Rice guys is a step up. (The cheeseboy lives on in a rectangular garbage slot in the center trashcan console that is the exact shape of the cheeseboy sandwich boxes)My less favorite things.The Kiosk is right in front of the door, so if a customer is slow at the kiosk, folks queue up and block the door. I'm also not a fan of the hard plastic to go containers.“
“I got two words for you: kebab pizza. It's not on the menu, but if you ask for it, they'll make - and it's damn delicious. This place is a knockout, good vegan options, and the Turkish-inspired flavors really zhuzh things up. If you're looking for some comfort food with style, Tarboosh has gotchu.“
“Wonderful place to have halal food. The taste is really superb. Very courteous staff and very helpful. Decent seating area for dine in. The platter bowls are really superb. Falafel is also wonderful. Would definitely recommend anyone to try out the food here.“
“I've passed this place a bunch of times in their old downtown location and I was always curious. I finally had the opportunity to come in today (to their new place at 92 Bedford street) and I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered a meat combo plate with lamb curry, mater paneer, naan bread, rice and a vegetable samosa and all were excellent! The samosa in particular I liked, it didn't taste frozen or old like they sometimes do. The lamb was tender and flavorful. The mater paneer was a little soupy but was still good and made a nice gravy for the rice. There aren't many options for Indian food in downtown so it's very nice to have this place to go to. I will definitely come back!“
“Ahmed, the owner, is a great and generous man. He has created a perfect place if you want to go somewhere with a great atmosphere, where the staff is friendly and accommodating to all needs. I have been there a few times now and every time have felt welcome, and have been served excellent food. Their breakfast sandwiches are perfect if you need a quick bite to eat before work, or if you go for lunch their menu is excellent offering a wide variety of selections. I honestly would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for something great to eat in the Brighton area of Boston.“
