Fantastic middle eastern food, very friendly host and staff, small menu but what they have, they made it really really good, full-flavor, and exactly the reason you came in this small, but sunny and homey restaurant. Young owner/chef Ibrahim couldn’t be more welcoming and warm hearted.I had the beef kofta with rice; my wife had a falafel wrap. Both were exceedingly tasty and the portion generous. We bought some baklava to take home for dessert. I definitely would come back.

Friendly service and food is great. Will return. Generous portions and reasonable price for quality. Great option to have in the neighborhood.

We went there to grub some kebabs and the experience was overwhelming! Incredibly delicious and juicy kebabs and just very fresh; something you don’t really see that often! You can tell these people put soul in their place! Very good people are running the place, we had a pleasant experience!Parking: Easy parking

Nice, friendly service but underwhelmed with the food portions and flavor... flavor wasn't bad but not unique, as expected since it is as described, Arab food. Would return to try other items.

Great food, worker and atmosphere! Glad there was wifi. Furthermore, the location was good. The only negative would be the price of the entree i got with chicken, which topped $15. Nevertheless, i think it's still worth it. Hope to be back!

Ate a chicken shawarma wrap, it was incredible. The service was great too, the waiter offered a dessert on the house and was really fun to talk to. Definitely a place I see myself going to again.

What a delight! Worth all 5 stars easily. Incredible service and food you won’t find anywhere else in Boston!

Seriously one of the hidden gems of this city! The food is seriously some of the best I’ve had in a long time! And the falafel!! Seriously amazing! Met the owner Ibrahim and received the best service. I ended up ordering an extra order of food to take home to share with my friends. Will be going back!!

The food was super tasty and satisfying, and the staff was helpful and personable. The texture of the falafel was perfect (crunchy but not dry)! My friend and I had a lovely time here and we look forward to going back.

The food is great and I met the (I assume) owner Ibrahim, who was really a kind and warm man. Glad I found this place for the first time, and will definitely be back!

Andrew Rosato

Delicious! All the food was super fresh and made to order. The falafel and the crisped onions were especially tasty. Great spot for a sit down meal, I would be prepared to wait a bit for takeout tho as it seems like it's just the owner cooking and he makes everything to order. Looking forward to my next visit!

Sooo tasty and they are so friendly!!! The food was made fresh and flavored/cooked perfectly. The portion size is also perfect, if on the generous side. The baklava is not pictured but also a must-try.They are re-opening after having closed temporarily during Covid so definitely stop by!

Shawarma here is really good. The staff are very friendly and hospitable. The french fries with zaatar is a must try dish.

The harreseh (basbousah) is very good, exactly like what you get from home. Ibrahim is very nice and happy to chat, stop by at least once and give the place a try
