This place has amazing food. Every dish we tried, top notch. It was the dip platter, fritters, a dish with eggplant (can't recollect the name, but the hostess suggested it and it was amazing) we are 1000% going back.

My friend and I had a wonderful time and enjoyed our meals at Moona. We shared two mezes, the Chicken Tagine, and the rice pudding, all delicious, though we thought the pudding was a little too sweet. The "maitre d" was terrific, as was our bartender/waitperson who served us at the bar. Our only complaint was the difficulty of finding the restaurant. Although there are lights to illuminate the sign, they were not on and apparently never are. Not being familiar with the neighborhood, we drove around and around, finally parked and walked from Broadway up Antrim, then stopped to ask a passerby if she knew where it was. She pointed across the street. We still hadn't seen it! Would definitely return to this welcoming and fun spot with great food, especially now that we know where it is!Parking: We were lucky finally to find a space on Broadway, close to Antrim, and had roughly a 5 minute walk to the restaurant.

I cannot speak more highly of this restaurant! The food was absolutely incredible. I liked all the small portions, so I could get a taste of many different dishes. Everything was cooked to perfection and just tasted so so good. Service was amazing, too! Our server, Remy, was super friendly and funny and he's basically my new best friend. Moona is a pretty small space, so the atmosphere is very cute and cozy. When I come back to Boston I'm coming back here!Vegetarian options: I'd say that most of the menu is vegetarian, or at least a large portion.Dietary restrictions: I have severe nut allergies, but the only nut they have is pine nuts, but that's only in some of the dishes so there's still so many options!
Came here on a Wed night for our anniversary. Even mid-week, make a reservation, because every table & the bar were completely full at 7pm. The ambiance was awesome & while it was full, the vibe was great. Our server was amazing. She staggered all of our food & our water glasses were always filled. Can't add anything new to what has already been stated about the food. It was great. Can't wait to return to try all of the many other small plates that we didn't get to try this time. The cheesecake for desert w/ a special Italian drink (like vin santo, but different), topped off the night. If you want to extend the evening, just stop by one of the bars in Inman for a fabulous night out!

Came here on a Friday night with a reservation and we were seated quite quickly. We got a table next to the door which was unfortunate given how cold it was outside, but unfortunately wasn't our choice as the place was packed. The menu had a good variety of foods and drinks - I appreciated how consolidated it all was on one page. We shared 6 dishes for the two of us and left quite full along with dessert - things came out pretty quickly as well which was nice, but not too fast at the same time so the pacing was good. Their drinks were nice as well - I would be willing to try more on their menu if I ever came back. The food was all really yummy - good portions, nice flavor, and just overall a good meal. A bit pricy, but I think for a nice night out, things were overall reasonable. Service was also pretty solid throughout the night, although it took a while for them to come around for the check. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and would be happy to come back in the future. I'd recommend a reservation if possible though given how busy things were and how bar seats were super sparse!

This is one of my favorite places in the Boston/Cambridge area! The food is delicious and the price point is very affordable compared to lots of other places nearby. We've been here multiple times and the service and food are always consistent. There's limited seating inside but it's normally not too hard to get a reservation the week of. What we ordered: - Eggplant Fatteh: This is a must try! The pairing of the eggplant with the yogurt/tahini sauce is addicting and the crispy pita chips on top are scrumptious. We get this every time we come. - Palestinian Msakhan Duck Rolls: The seasoning on the outside of these was so good, though we wish that the wrapper could be slightly thinner. - Chicken Tagine: This comes out steaming hot and every bite is a nice warm bite. Loved the sweet potatoes in this. - Grilled Whole Fish: Cooked to perfection. This is a must try for seafood lovers.

Worth the money. The lamb was super flavorful, as was the eggplant small plate. But the surprising highlight was the knafeh dessert, which was not on the menu (but the server told us about it) -- it was just the right amount of sweet and savory and nutty and I've been craving it ever since. The service and the vibe were also a positive.

Good food quality/price ratio…. Simple but very tasty food and I really enjoy it. Portions are not very big so you may need to order more small plates. Good wine list but limited. The place is very small and crowded, so this is not the place you wanna have a private date. Limited numbers of table and bar seating is very uncomfortable (very bad stools). Price is reasonable…. Definitely I will go back again (with a table though).

Great food, but we had to wait for a while to be seated at a table, even with a reservation and timely arrival.
Loved loved our meal at Moona. Every dish was delicious and well portioned. Our favorites included the dip plate, feta fritters, eggplant fatteh, octopus, lamb sliders, and cheesecake. We spent ~$50 per person, which felt very reasonable for the quality of the meal!
Over the moon for Moona! Guys. The food! Which is kerpow-flavorful. It is this confident but humble display of palate-awakening I’ve experienced in my 60 yrs of consuming food. The meze was beyond next level! And there is manager of Moona, Kristina. Kristina, who is the very epitome of customer-centric-focus, who makes this entire dining experience so much more than you ever expected. I can’t recommend Moona enough. Guys, don’t spoil this powerful and flavorful gem. It’s delicious and very, very special. ❤️
I am not one to write a review often, but felt inclined after our most positive experience from start to finish at Moona. Checked all the boxes for a date night. Able to book a seat at the bar online. Greeted warmly by the hostess and sat immediately. Food was delicious, flavorful, hot and came out quickly. Christine the mgr. took a moment to chat us up and recommended the scallops a fine choice. Highly recommend it. Plus parking next door.

Food is amazing, restaurant is LOUD. Feta fritters, salads, steak tips incredible. It would be nice if they had some descriptions of some of the dishes so that you knew what it was. For example, one of the main dishes is a chicken dish but there's no description of how it's prepared.

Every single dish was incredible. We were blown away by the selection of their tapas in particular, and the quality of every single plate. The atmosphere is fun, and our server Henry was extremely accommodating and helpful for a small celebration we were having. I highly recommend the dips plate, cheesecake, feta fritters, and the steak tips. Great for a date night or special dinner!
