“Went there for the oysters buck a shuck. They had a great deal on a dozen fresh oysters, 3 samples of their delicious seveche and a nice bottle of white wine for $50. Excellent customer service. Our waiter Ramon was super nice. Worth it. Highly recommended!!! We will definitely come back again.“

“Had a couscous bowl with beef tagine & mixed beans, upon recommendation of the owner (I believe) - who was very nice. We enjoyed the bowl a lot, especially the mixed beans - we went back and had a chat with him on how the mixed beans were made“
“This best spot for date night and hosting out of town guests! We absolutely love this place and never get tired of coming for dinner. They always have amazing specials and the staff is always so friendly. The first time we came here we had just moved back from the west coast and we left feeling like family. Everything from the apps, wine, and homemade pasta dishes are great. I love their bolognese personally and my husband is a huge fan of chicken parm. Highly recommend checking Euno out next time you’re in the north end.“
“A notable destination for Mediterranean seafood fares in the heart of Back Bay.Recently took a visit for dinner. Set against a backdrop of a modern lounge vibe, complete with high ceilings, Porto seemed like an ideal spot for date nights. As advertised, their menu featured a blend of Italian pasta and Mediterranean seafood dishes.We started off our meal with the Crispy Calamari. It was a decent appetizer that aligned with the typical offerings of a modern Italian restaurant. Its seasoning was a tad overbearing, but it still set a nice tone for the meal.From their pasta selections, we opted for theWild Mushroom Mafalde and the Wild Boar Cocoa Pappardelle. The Pappardelle boasted a tender boar ragu with umami from Manchego, but it unfortunately suffered from a lack of cohesion. The pasta itself was slightly undercooked and lacked depth in flavor, failing to fully harmonize with the ragu. On the other hand, the Mafalde was enjoyable. The combination of garlic butter and Aleppo pepper introduced a welcomed acidity, and the interplay of textures between the al dente Mafalde and the succulent mushrooms was particularly satisfying.The highlight of the evening was the Seared Bronzino. Unlike many other Branzino dishes I've tried in Boston, which often fell flat in flavor, Porto’s rendition was masterfully-seasoned. Each bite struck a perfect balance between salinity and the sweet nuances of the squash purée.While Porto may not be the best Mediterranean spot in Back Bay, its seafood offerings, particularly the Seared Bronzino, make it worth a return visit. The pricing, given the quality and ambiance, also doesn’t feel too excessive. Recommend giving them a try if you’re looking for an upscale romantic venue with great food and atmosphere.Parking: Prudential public parking garage“
“Everything we ordered was excellent, chickpea sticks, dips, pear salad, lobster Campanella, and scallops. Delicious espresso martinis. I think what made our experience the greatest was our waitress EMILY. She loves her job and was so enjoyable to talk to, and gave us great recommendations. We felt lucky to have her. Will definitely be back when in town.“
“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“
“There’s only couple of good places to eat authentic greek gyro in boston , and that’s one of them , tzatziki sauce is incredible, the gyros are huge , fries are good and the meat was perfect , i’m huge critic of greek cuisine in usa , but this place definitely worth it, don’t hesitate to try it!“
“I went on a date to Sorellina, and it totally lived up to my up-scale restaurant expectations. The place had this classy vibe that commanded respect, from the décor to the overall ambiance. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, enjoying the light music and the buzz of conversation. The service was very attentive to our every need.For dinner, I ordered the saltimbocca, which was veal wrapped in prosciutto, served with maitake mushrooms and truffle whipped potatoes. It was cooked to perfection and super tender, but I couldn't help thinking that the portion could've been a bit more generous, given the price.My date went for the Mafaldine, a pasta dish with shiitake and oyster mushrooms, black truffle butter, and Parmigiano. She couldn't stop raving about how amazing the mushrooms were and how this dish easily became one of her favorites.No doubt, I'll be heading back to Sorellina for more. But next time, I'll be keeping a closer eye on portion sizes and the price tag.“
“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.“
“amazing job this morning to one of the managers there who i believe told me his name is Jose Amazing customer service and the first time experience this man have given me super friendly staff there Hands down the best Food ive tasted their grill cook she knows what she doing :)“
“We took a friend to Mistral to celebrate his birthday tonight and our waiter, Leni, made the evening so special! He was very attentive but let us set the pace, he was always available to attend to our needs but we never felt rushed. He recognized that we were celebrating a birthday and had a dessert sent to our table, complete with a candle, so that we could celebrate in style. The food and drinks were prepared to perfection, as always, but it was Leni who truly made the night special for us. I highly recommend Mistral for special occasions, as well as weeknight dining (their pizzas are awesome) and highly commend Leni for his superb service.“
“The menu is quite expansive, so this is a good catering option. I love middle eastern/Mediterranean food, so I’ve tried a lot of different places in Boston. Compared to other places, I wouldn’t say Sultana’s makes the cut for my favorites, but it wasn’t bad.- Spinach feta quiche: The portion size is good, but the flavor was bland. I wasn’t able to finish it.- Cookies: The cookies weren’t overly sweet, which I liked. They were crumbly yet soft.- Fruit yogurt pastry: This was my favorite. I liked that they are bite-sized (though, this is also dangerous because you’ll end up eating a lot). The pastry was flaky, and the yogurt was sweet, which balanced the tartness of the fruits.- Caprice acma: I wasn’t a fan of this. The acma was too doughy. Maybe it would have tasted better warm.Happy to have tried a new place, but I probably wouldn’t come back.“
“Aceituna has some of the best food in this area at very fair prices. Their team is always accommodating and friendly so I recommend them often without hesitation. My team and I eat there regularly but have now had the pleasure of using them for multiple catering events and they continued to impress. Andrew and Gina were great to work with along the way and the day of staff onsite were excellent. Six stars, top to bottom great experience!“
“What I really like this place, is that it is all about the food and the college kids. When I went to college, which was a long time ago, it was all about value meals. Lots of food and well priced and this place delivers. Although the name is Crispy Crepes, they also have a really good selection of Mediterranean Plates, like falafel, shawarma and more. My mushroom, ham and cheese was good. Both the ham and mushroom were really fresh and you can tell that they were nice and fresh ingredients. The cheese, may have been the Velveeta kind, but I do believe that it made for a great combination with the ham and mushrooms, because it melted well in your mouth. My wife loved her Chicken Shawarma sandwich, which also had very flavorful and nice combination of ingredients. What she liked the most is how they press the pita sandwich, so that it comes out nice and crunchy. My daughter loved her Nutella/Chocolate Crepe, she said that there was plenty of it inside the crepe and the whipped cream was like icing on the cake. Service was fast, again, this is a college place and I think that this is being run to serve food fast and cater to the college crowd that keeps coming in and out. Parking can be challenging, because this is on Commonwealth Avenue a few blocks away from Kenmore Square. We got lucky, because it was Sunday and during Spring Break weekend and not sure about how the rest of the week would look like, but if you live in the area and you want a quick bite, this place is good. The place may need a bit of updating, but as I said in the beginning, this is about food and college kids. Great value for our meal and definitely one that we will come back, when we are in the area! Cheers!“
“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 love the Cafe Landwer chain. I’ve been to this location and the back bay one several times and it has never disappointed. The staff is always friendly, place has wonderful and bright decor, and the food is always fresh like the hummus. We got the Landwer’s Shakshuka, the Buttermilk Waffles, and the lentil soup.“
“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.“
“Trade is a chic Greek restaurant in the heart of Boston, very close to South Station. This place has a classy vibe to it. The staff is friendly and our server was polite, patient, and explained the menu well. He also proactively suggested specials. We asked to be seated at a different table and the staff made the change without any fuss which is not the case at many restaurants. The baked feta was delicious and one of the best baked fetas I've ever had! Charred eggplant and pita & maze were good too. I'll especially mention the tzatziki sauce, which was absolutely mouth watering! We ate this as part of the pita & meze but ask for this sauce on the side even if you don't order the meze. Loved trying the mastiha drink - don't go by the clear look of the spirit, it's not for the faint hearted! I ordered the flight which comprised mastiha and 2 brandies. Brandy was average and would recommend skipping the flight and going for mastiha straight. Overall, it's a bougie restaurant that offers a lot both for the palette and for the 'Gram. I give 4 stars because the bathroom wasn't as clean as you'd expect from a high end establishment.“
“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!“
“Sort of a Mediterranean version of Chipotle with enough choice for both meat eaters and vegetarians or vegans. Portions are good for the price and you can choose everything yourself if you want. It is not a restaurant for a nice meal and a chat, more for takeaway or a quick lunch, which is of course also perfectly fine.“
“Very cute and cozy, and we had great service. Loved the menu options and our drinks were great. We had the brussels sprouts, pork entree, and chicken mushroom risotto entree. The food was good, but could have been a bit better for the price. It was definitely a cute place for a date night overall, with a pretty convenient location.“
“Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. The schnitzel? Best in the Boston. Sandwiches? Best in Boston. Everything else? Best in Boston. If you want a delicious, nutritious, and tasty lunch breakfast or dinner come here. unlike they say in forest gump, "life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get." In landwer cafe you always know that what your gonna get. A delicious meal.“
“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.“
“Food: I came here for the baklawa. They came pre-packaged for $7.99, so unfortunately they weren't fresh, but they still tasted fine reheated. The baklawa was very flaky and not too sweet, which I liked. I think the amount that I got was good for the price. I would grab another box to satisfy a craving.Service: This is a market, so there is no service, but I had no issues with the cashier.Ambiance: There is a small parking lot out front.“
“I love going to CAVA Downtown for lunch - the food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and they always handle my allergy with the most care. The manager (Jeff) is super friendly and always welcoming and attentive. I recommend stopping at CAVA for a healthy meal accompanied of great service. LinaDietary restrictions: Great for Gluten allergy restrictionsKid-friendliness: The manager (Jeff) is super friendly and always welcoming and attentive.“
“I had breakfast at their Jerusalem location and loved it. Came to Cleveland Circle and loved my Brunch. Very fresh well made high quality everyday Israeli breakfast and lunch. In Jerusalem I had the breakfast for two which was wonderful and that was in July 2019. Today is August 31, 2019 and we had smoked salmon sandwiches that were very tasty and well made in Brookline.“
“We ordered takeout and it was so tasty. My husband really the kofta and the banana labneh. I thought the banana labneh was a little sweet for my preferences but loved the eggplant and tahini labneh. We both really liked the grilled halloumi. We will definitely be ordering from here again!“
“Upscale Greek fast food part of a chain that is worth visiting. The food is tasty and well executed and the décore is modern and welcoming. This particular location is close to Fenway and among new residential buildings and close to shops. This is a good place for a casual meal in the area.“
“Quick seating, excellent service, great wine. Food tested great we had calamari and hummus for appetizers they were very tasty as well, i had the lamb shank which arrived steaming and hot. Lamb tasted great the sauce and veggies were tasty as well.. my son had the chicken i think he was s bit dissatisfied with portion thats whay i gave 4 stars but it was overall great experience and i would definitely comeback and also recommend this restaurant to anyone.“
“This was my first time trying this place. I did not go in person but rather had it delivered to me at work. I didn't know what to get but I made my decision based on existing Yelp pictures. I selected the red glazed pork bowl. When I read the description, I was turned off by the seasoned soy sauce (I'm normally not a fan of soy sauce) so I was very close to requesting for them not to add it but decided to leave it as is. The first observation I made was that the food was a bit greasy so definitely not something to eat if you're on a diet. But, the green beans were good; maybe just a minute or two over cooked. The rice was flavorful and plentiful for the portion of meat. The meat had so much flavor. It was tender, it literally pulled apart with very little effort. It was savory but also a minor sweet kick in the first few chews. I would try other meals on their menu. The price for this meal is reasonable. The portion looks small at first but it's actually quite filling and is packed with a lot of meat.“
“This place was ?!!! I didn't have water but even though they only had bottled water they gave it to me for free! They also gave everyone in the entire restaurant free ice cream. The food was great and service was fantastic! Definitely 5 stars!“
“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.“
