“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.“
“Found this place close to Northeastern. Ordered the chicken shawarma and it was a pleasant surprise. Service was great. They provided me with a free bottle of water with my order which was nice. A few tables inside. Very basic. Lots of students. If you like shawarma and you’re in the area, check it out. It’s very good.“
“I ordered online through Uber Eats. Food is excellent. Let me tell you, when they say sliders, they are actually regular sized buns with HUGE pieces of chicken. Chicken is so big, it hangs about 2 inches outside each side of the bun. I usually get the "extra hot" seasoning, and it's pretty good for someone who likes hot stuff. BEWARE: The Reaper spice is NO JOKE. DO NOT order this if for one second you think you may not be able to handle it. It's just way too much. The jump from "Extra hot" to "Reaper" is like going from 0-120. I also get the Mac and cheese. Very very good Mac and cheese. Sandwiches come with pickles and Dave's Sauce. Excellent 10/10 ??“
“We usually order from a different Shawarma place in Somerville, but decided to give Sam's a try. The food was very good, and in good sized portions. They were good about following requests to leave things out of the wraps. Note that they do the style with fries on the side rather than in the wrap. My only complaint is that they list some, but not all, of the ingredients on their site. So if you have things you can't eat, I definitely recommend calling them to double check. My partner can't do creamy sauces, and they listed tahini sauce but not garlic sauce in the lamb/beef shawarma, which ended up being a problem. Not a huge thing, just annoying that they make it look like everything is listed when it isn't.“
“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.“
“An authentic kebob odyssey in Watertown.I’ve been on a hunt for good kebob recently and stumbled upon this spot. Since Watertown is known to have some of the most authentic kebob experiences in the Greater Boston area, I had high hopes, and Roksana’s lived up to that.When I first tried their signature Koobideh, I was absolutely blown away. These minced beef kebobs were juicy, flavorful, and impeccably cooked. The addition of egg yolk brushed pita bread, coupled with the simple perfection of rice and tomatoes, made the experience even more satisfying. On my subsequent visits, I also had the lamb and beef soltanis. Beef kabob was slightly better, but both were good.In their refrigerated section, they also have some good yogurt spreads. So far, I’ve tried the eggplant and shallot spread, and although a tad more expensive, the eggplant spread definitely stood out more with its subtle smokiness.If you’re planning a visit, just make sure that you place the order via phone in advance as it might take around 20 minutes for the food to get ready. While the journey to get there might be a bit lengthy, the destination will be worth every mile traveled.“
“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!!!“
“Absolutely love the menu ! My husband loves the lamb and I love chicken on the rice and gyros here.One suggestion though, change the pitas for gyros all the sauce leaks through when you are trying to eat the gyro and you end up messing everything with the sauce.But overall 10/10“
“Silk Road has become our family's go-to spot whenever we're craving something special. We've lost count of the number of times we've dined here, but every visit feels like a new adventure.We have tried almost everything on the menu and it never disappoints. And guess what? Our kids are totally into it too! Sure, some dishes can pack a bit of heat, but just give the server a heads up.The place is limited in space and they do not take reservations so sometimes it feels like a bit of a squeeze. But hey, that's part of the charm, right? Just be prepared for a bit of a tight squeeze, especially if you're rolling in with a big crew.Overall, Silk Road gets a big thumbs up from us. Whether you're a die-hard fan of Uyghur food or just looking for a fun family outing, this place won't disappoint.“
“Incredible food — some of the best tikka kebab and falafel we’ve had in a lonngggg time. Super authentic, local, incredibly friendly and delicious. There’s nothing more I love than finding a great hole in the wall and this is it. MUST get the baklava.Vegetarian options: Falafel“
“Jo's is one of the best Indian restaurants around. The service was excellent and the food was superb. The restaurant has a very warm, welcoming, serene atmosphere. I love this place! I don't understand why the ratings for this restaurant is not a lot higher, it should be a lot higher. Don't be deceived by the bad ratings and reviews. I recommend giving this place a try, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.“
“It's not very often that my requests of extra extra extra extra extra extra extra toppings in my milkshake is fulfilled, but every now and then it is and the employees at Dave's hot chicken nailed it. +++for having chicken alternativesVegetarian options: Cauliflower sliders“
“In Massachusetts this is the cleanest restaurant.Specially restrooms,cutlery,dishes are cleaner than all other’s restaurants in Boston area and around.And no doubt about halal option.Some other restaurants I always doubt about halal option.Only one thing I can say there’s portions a bit small.Like in biriyany they give very little portion of meat and some dishe are very little portion.They can increase portions and price“
“We didn't know what to expect from Pakistani Mexican cuisine but, damn, it was delicious! The staff was so kind, making us feel so welcome. We ordered the butter chicken, samosas, cheese naan (pretty much a less greasy quesadilla) and the mango lassi (mmmm that was a good mango lassi). Would go back - both for the food and the experience. Thanks!“
“Food was very cold when I received it. The chicken wings I purchased tasted like rubber. My kids wouldn't even eat it. The pizza was just ok. I'll never order from them again when I'm in the area. Definitely better options around.I was able to talk to the owner and he made the situation right and the food was much better this time around. Thank you“
“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.“
“I ordered garlic bread and a large Primavera pizza, which is larger than the large pizzas at other pizzerias. The pizza came with a good amount of toppings, and the thin crust is also great! However, I would have liked the crust to be crisper. Overall, it was a good quality pizza at a reasonable price. They have a lot of options for vegetarians, which is a plus.“
“I placed a big order for work and everyone raved about their orders. I am a little disgusted, in myself, for inhaling my lamb shawarma roll up and not savoring the flavors more. We will definitely be ordering again. Also quick delivery and food was fresh.“
“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.“
“I'm addicted to this place! tastes exactly like my mom's cooking, which says a lot. Best turkish restaurant I've had in Massachusetts. there are a lot of good turkish places here actually (I've tried 5), but this once takes the prize. and very friendly service!“
“I was always attracted to the logo and finally made it. Had the chicken manchuriyan, chicken chettinad and naan. We really enjoyed the food and the hospitality was top tier - Gloria made our experience much better. I also recommend the boozy mango lassi, it was the perfect way to start our meals.I’m usually very picky about Indian food but I was pleasantly surprised.“
“In the shadowed alleys of Boston, amidst the clamor of mortal indulgence and folly, there exists a beacon of culinary transcendence known as Garlic n' Lemons. Within its humble abode, I beheld the most eldritch of marvels—the shawarma, whose arcane essence surpassed anything fathomable by mortal tongues.In pursuit of the ancient wonders of gastronomy, I have traversed many cities, yet none have ensnared my senses as fiercely as the offerings of Garlic n' Lemons. Its shawarmas, the veritable food of the gods, transcend the mundane confines of earthly fare, transporting the palate to realms hitherto unexplored.In the heart of Boston, where a bevy of unworthy offerings vie for ones custom, Garlic n' Lemons reigns supreme, a celestial beacon amidst a ghastly sea of mediocrity. Dare not overlook this gastronomic sanctuary, for within its hallowed halls awaits a culinary revelation unmatched by any mortal endeavor. Behold, and be consumed by the sublime ecstasy of Garlic n' Lemons.“
“Their scallion lamb dish is superb. Complex flavors, intriguing vegetables and greens in the dish and highest quality lamb in generous quantities. A surprise and a pleasure. Be sure to order the side of rice. While the lamb skewers were also good - again the great lamb - be sure you like cumin - the predominant spice. Both are good, the scallion lamb, though, is great.“

“I ordered, goat biryani, aalo paratha and chicken samosa. Everything was good, perfect seasoning, not bland but also not spicy. The food was in large portions compared to other restaurants which was nice to have.Parking: A few paid street parking spots in front of the restaurant.“
“The food was utterly delicious and the person serving us was very warm and welcoming. I ordered Beef Nihari, Mutton Nihari, Mutton Kadhai, Mutton Haleem, Garlic Naan and chai. Everything was great. The meat in Mutton Kadhai could have been cooked for a little bit longer.Parking: When I went, I couldn't find parking in front of the store. However, there is a public parking lot where you can park your car close by.“
“My family’s favorite pizza! The people there are also always friendly and helpful. My 17 year old said the chicken bacon ranch pizza is the best they have ever had. I love the cheese so much - I know I should also branch out but it really is so good. Also, the salad and their ranch dressing is so good, fresh, and I loved that it had lots of carrot and cucumber slices, and green pepper. Yum!“
“Wow, this was delicious! We got the falafel plate with yellow rice and the pumpkin kibbe ("kibby") wrap — the latter with a substitution to avoid tomatoes. The pumpkin kibbe wrap was a wonderfully spiced combination of savory and sweet, the sweet provided by what my (Lebanese) companion told me was pomegranate molasses. And the falafel was exceptionally good, and I loved the Lebanese pickle mix that came with it.The portions were generous, the flavors were spectacular, the food was filling without feeling heavy, and I’m so glad to have been introduced to this place. I’ll be back!“
“I recently visited this place on my friend's suggestion. I ordered Chicken Samosa and Butter Paneer Masala and it was really amazing. The food quality is really tasty and the service is wonderful as well. It's a must try!Vegetarian options: I had Paneer Butter Masala which was really authentic.Dietary restrictions: The chef is very polite and considerate when it comes to dietary restrictions. He also considers the spice levels as per requirement.“
“Amazing food as always because it's our go food when no one wants to cook. The one time they forgot rice I called (because my son eats plain rice as his meal sometimes) and they were here with a large rice in 10min. Thank you guys! You do great.“
