“We were visiting from Toronto and dined at your restaurant on Sunday night. The ambience was amazing, food was delicious and your staff, I mean wow they were just amazing. We were seated at the bar and the bartender was so courteous and sweet. She did a great job in providing recommendations. Your Hostess welcomed us and provided us seats at the bar even though we didn't have any reservations. She even came to check on us at the bar on how was our overall experience. This is truly 5 star service, big shout out to your team!!!!“
“The food was delicious and experience was mind-blowing. I loved the small plates concept and got to try so many different dishes. Every bite was extremely flavorful and delicious. Za'atar bread was to die for. Staff was EXTREMELY polite!They were also very conscious of allergens and accommodated and offered allergan-free options.Place is a bit small and crowded but nothing too inconvenient.“
“Excellent service w a knowledgeable server for wines. The food was uniformly delicious and inventive. Honestly we had so many dishes from duck kabob to cabbage Caesar salad to crunchy tuna tartare one better than the next. Fun atmosphere w easy parking. We'll be back!“
“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.“
“This is exactly what you want for a takeout Turkish place with a dine-in option. The plates are huge and the food is delicious. (Pictured is the shawarma plate.) The "mixed grill" plate is really for 2 people, I promise. Loved this place.“
“Salem has no lack of exceptional dining options and Settler tops that list with their artisinal culinary experience. Looking ahead to get a reservation is well worth the time and care. I am excited to return and see what new experiences their team dream up.“
“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.“
“Go for: The best food in the Boston Public Market, hands down.Avoid if: You didn't bring your appetite.Something surprising: One order was honestly enough for two meals/people - a great value.Reservation needed? No, counter service only.Overall . Absolutely delicious North African fusion cuisine. It's fast and hits the mark every time. If you've never had this type of food before, try it. North African and Middle Eastern food is truly the best in the world. The only recommended improvement is having a couple additional sides or entrees to choose from, but it's hard to keep inventory in such a small space. The chickpeas are good but they're just too filling - it'd be great to halve the portion of chickpeas and introduce another small side to complement them.Value for Price: 5Sanitation: 5Food Quality: 4Menu Precision: 4Service Quality: 4Timing: 5Decor: 3Access: 4—5 among the best4 strong3 not too bad2 mediocre1 never again“
“We just moved to Boston. A friend of mine recommended Ms. Yeşim. We went there to meet her and decided to eat something while we were there. The food we ate was delicious. Ms. Yeşim and her staff welcomed us with a smile. She also helped us with many things. We were very glad to have met her. If you ever go there, you should definitely visit her. Stop by to taste their food and meet them, thank you to Dolma Restaurant ?? “
“After every bite we found ourselves saying “mmmm this is so good”. From one course to the next. The blend of flavors was amazing. This is the best food in the greater Boston area. I will be recommending this restaurant to anyone who asks where they should eat in Boston.“
“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“
“What a hidden gem! Falafel Mom is a refreshing authentic Lebanese spin on Mediterranean cuisine and thankfully not mall quality.Highly recommend, especially given the service and fresh food quality. Family owned with the sweetest mother daughter team, and every time we drop by they always make it a point to put a smile on my little daughter’s face. Simply said they seem like great people.There are a number authentic Lebanese dishes I have not heard of and cannot wait to try! If they upgrade locations one day to a busier location like north shore mall, or a sit down location with food quality and service like this they will be hit.Stop by you will not be disappointed!“
“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).“
“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!“
“First time ordering from here & I was very satisfied with the wait times, food & friendliness by the cashiers & cooks. Atmosphere here is really good & I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes Mediterranean food or wants something fresh & made with love!“
“I come here twice a week. If I get takeout or come sit on the patio with my dog, we are always greeted with a smile by the happiest man alive. The chicken donner bowl is my absolute favorite lunch to have. It has literally everything in it. I don't feel gross after eating from here, it's healthy, filling, and so fresh. 10 stars all day. The hidden gem of Salem.“
“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.“
“I celebrated my nomination earlier this evening in this great place. I am glad to say that we enjoyed a phenomenal evening and the place was surely the reason for that outstanding event. The stuff cooperated in a graceful way, the meals were appetizing and my guests were so cheerful. We shall definitely visit again for more joyful events. Thank you very much.“
“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 had a great time as usual at Ithaki. The food,service, and atmosphere was great. Our server Juliana was very nice and attentive. She was knowledgeable of the menu and helpful. One of our guests spilled food on her blouse. Juliana was able to help clean the shirt with soda ware and a cloth. We went the appetizer and small plate menu and skipped entrees. We also had coffee and dessert. The bill was under 300. The lollipop lanb chops, short rib, and octopus were delicious. The Caesar salad special was also very good. Including presentation. Overall, we were content and will return. The food and service were top notch.“
“Nice place near Tufts. Really good food, they recently added zucchini pasta for gluten free.When my wife and I want a really good, but not to fancy meal we get this.Parking: The system is really easy. You park your car and then sign it in at the restaurant through an app!“
“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.“
“Excellent, food, drinks and service in a relaxing and prettt atmosphere. Servers and bartender there went above and beyond to make it a great experience. We ordered tomato soup, seared scallops, pasta Alfredo with broccoli and a brownie with ice cream for dessert. Delicious. The martinis and wine list were also perfectLoved this spot. We will be back again!“
“This restaurant is a really good place to go to for authentic Egyptian food. Everything I ordered was well spiced and tasted delicious. The garlic sauce blew me away. The service was great and all the food was cooked right after I ordered. All the food is made right there, so the quality is incredible and everything is very fresh. Hoping to go back soon!“
“Who doesn't love crepes? Everybody loves crepes! I had a savory Manhattan crepe for dinner and a sweet strawberry banana crepe for dessert. That was probably too many crepes. But they were both beautiful and tasty.Things I would improve: a bathroom. Clean metal utensils.“
“Food was absolutely delicious and the service was incredible!!! So friendly and helpful! Great location right by Boston University! Definitely try the lotus Rosalach for dessert! WOW!!!!! Our server, Steff, was the sweetest, and we loved talking with the manager, Giselle!!! All around amazing experience!!“
“I am a vegetarian and I’m so happy I found Adea’s. The food at Adea’s is so fresh and so tasty. I love anything with falafel and the Jerusalem bean soup is so good! I can’t wait to try the shakshuka next time I go! The atmosphere is welcoming and clean. I love Adea’s!“
“Had not eaten at Mistral in about 10 years. I had a wonderful previous experience when last there. So, being back in Boston, I took my son to Mistral last night. The experience was as wonderful as I remembered. Service was outstanding, we sat at the bar. Food was fantastic, we had the tenderloin, mashed potatoe, truffle oil pizza, rack of lamb and duck with a wild mushroom risotto. Great wine selections. Still must be considered one of the best dining experiences in Boston.“
“A nice spot for date night in Woburn! Came here Saturday 8pm and we were seated right away. The decorations were very cozy, and I really enjoyed the jazzy acoustic music they were playing in the background. We got 6 dishes, but our favorites were the Chuletas De Cordero (grilled lamb chops with mint yogurt and Tximitxurri), Pisto Manchego (ratatouille), and Solomillo De Ternera y Queso Cabrales (beef tenderloin with blue cheese, caramelized onions, toasted crostini). The grilled lamb chops were wonderful but I personally wasn't a fan of the dill sauce so I'd eat it without it. The ratatouille is a must, strong tomato flavor with a wonton style chip. And the beef steak/tenderloin comes with blue cheese and onions on a small flank of bread.“
“Rice plate with spicy chicken and beef and lamb shawarma were incredible. Meat was juicy and well seasoned. Portions were huge and great deal for the price. All the vegetables were fresh. Benjamin does a very good job here. Highly reccomend. Beautiful seating area with a very welcoming and cozy atmosphere. Service was fantastic.“
“I made a mistake while ordering food for my wife. When she went to pick it up, she called me to express her frustration (anger) to me. I immediately contacted the restaurant and spoke with a woman who was on the phone on Thursday night. She was kind enough to replace the food, even though the mistake was mine. It was my first time ordering from this place, but it definitely won't be my last. Also, I must say that the swordfish I ordered was absolutely delicious!“
“I stopped in for a quick take away smoothie which turned into also getting a sandwich! They are def a quality shop. Lot of other reviews comment on the price, which is why you get what you pay for. I got the chocolate smoothie which was delicious, the worker in there explained they use natural ingredients, etc and it tasted pure. I dropped it accidentally and they made a new one quickly and would not let me help clean. Very great service! The chicken shawarma sandwich was a special and it was so good. They are very kind and great quality food. I wish they did more advertising!“
“The food is delicious!! The staff is always friendly. I definitely recommend this place if you enjoy Mediterranean as I do.Vegetarian options: You can ask for vegetarian options.Parking: The restaurant is outside a bus stop, but there is 2 hour parking.Kid-friendliness: The staff are so kind and caring.Wheelchair accessibility: Your able to get inside the restaurant with ease.“
“This is a true definition of a "Hidden Gem"!!!!Had a private Birthday Party for 30 people and Chef Misha and his staff truly made it "Special" with amazing food, very "home away home" atmosphere and fantastic attention to every detail!!!Thank you Misha and many years of growth and success!“
“The food there was amazing and the person at the cashier who served us was WONDERFUL! He came back to check on us often, he was VERY friendly, and we had a really nice talk. Would definitely come again, huge thank you to him, and indubitably this restaurant should get more than 5 stars.“
“Food is made fresh and portions are very good and prices fair. They used to use more seasoning and spices but the food is quite bland now. That said the quality of the ingredients are good. We had felafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, zereshk rice, chicken koobideh kabob wrap, grape leaves, fries, tabouli.“
“Beautiful fresh awesome quality and presentation!!! The rice pilaf is fluffy and seasoned- the golden French fries have a touch of salt- mouth watering- everything is beyond fresh. I drive from Newton and was so deeply satisfied! Cauliflower sandwich is great too! I’m in love with the beef and lamb shawarma plate! Everything is made with love and made to order!!! You won’t regret, I wish I tried it sooner- the roasted eggplant salad appetizer is wicked good.“
“As there are not nany great Greek restaurants in the area, this place has the best Greek food hands down. Good portions. Fair prices. Place is small with only a handful of tables. But comfortable enough. Lamb Shish Kebabs plate is delicious. Two nice size grilled skewers of lamb with tomatoes, onions and green peppers, served with Greek roasted potatoes, Greek salad and pita. Delicious!“
“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.“
“The Fish w/Rice and vegetables is AMAZING ALL AROUND.Today we just ordered the Lamb Shawarma w/Rice and Vegetables and it is UNBELIEVABLE.PLEASE GO AND EAT SOME REAL FINE CLEAN, AMAZING FOOD , FROM SOME AMAZING PEOPLE @ " ALL SPICE"...“
“Opted to sit at the bar when we saw two open seats in lieu of our reservation and we were so glad we did!Vanessa was very charismatic and friendly, helping to make our date night experience even more memorable.The chicken parm looked amazing and my filet was absolutely delicious.Keep this place on your short list when looking for a great dinner spot right in the heart of downtown Salem.Dietary restrictions: The chicken parm and pasta could both be made gluten free. This place seems like a great fit for anyone looking for yummy gluten free options.Parking: Easy and free parking options nearby.“
“My favorite new place. I have been to South Boston location and Brookline. The food is wonder and it will be hard to find a place with better prices. Tons of delicious food from their empanadas, yuca fries, sour Sopa, Rice and beans, chicharrones to the churros for dessert! You cannot go wrong here!!“
“Upon entering, the aroma of exotic spices and freshly baked bread wafts through the air, awakening your senses and igniting your appetite. The décor is a fusion of modern elegance and traditional charm, with intricately designed carpets adorning the floors and soft, ambient lighting casting a golden glow over the space.But it is the menu that truly steals the show. Bursting with an array of authentic Middle Eastern dishes, each offering is a masterpiece crafted with precision and passion. Begin your culinary adventure with an assortment of mezes, from creamy hummus and smoky baba ghanoush to crispy falafel and tangy tabbouleh, each bite bursting with flavor and freshness. For the main course, prepare to be transported to the streets of Beirut or the markets of Marrakech with an array of mouthwatering options. Indulge in tender lamb kebabs, succulent shawarma, or fragrant tagines, each dish a symphony of spices and textures that dance on your palate. No Middle Eastern feast would be complete without a sweet finale, and DARNA certainly delivers on that front. From decadent kunafa dripping with honey and nuts to creamy, rose-scented rice pudding, each dessert is a celebration of indulgence and tradition.“
“Great little pizza shop. I got their Chicken Alfredo pizza (alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, grilled chicken, and broccoli). It was delicious! I got the large 16” and paid around $20ish. They were generous with chicken and broccoli.The crust wasn’t too thin and crunchy neither too stuffed and sloppy. I liked the pizza taste. The lady behind the register was super nice and friendly. It really felt like a local shop with solid interior design. The shop was clean overall and the restrooms were clean as well. You may need the passcode to use the restroom. They have street parking so it may be difficult to find a spot nearby. I was able to find one near the shop.Plus, they have halal meat on request! Great plus for halal folks! Definitely try them outVegetarian options: Not sure tbh.Dietary restrictions: Alfredo sauce has dairy. I didn’t see any non dairy options for pizzaParking: Free street parking so it is somewhat difficult to find one.Kid-friendliness: Yes it is!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes they are wheelchair accessible“
“I attended a work dinner at this place, and I was pleased to see that they could easily accommodate our group of eight. Our meal kicked off with pita bread served alongside three delightful sauces: Tzatziki, Spicy Whipped Feta and Charred Eggplant. While all three were fantastic, I found myself particularly drawn to the tzatziki.For my main course, I opted for the Rosemary Marinated Prime Lamb Chops accompanied by Summer Vegetable Briam, Caper Lemon Jam, Herb Oil, and Fava beans. The lamb was expertly cooked, reaching a point of tenderness that practically melted in my mouth. It's safe to say that this dish is among the highlights of their menu. The only minor challenge was that the chops proved a bit tough to cut, but I reckon that's just par for the course when it comes to lamb chops.Throughout the meal, the service remained attentive, keeping my water glass filled and inquiring if I required anything else. Admittedly, the ambiance was a touch on the noisy side, yet this often signifies a bustling atmosphere and, typically, delicious food. I'm looking forward to returning soon.“
“I have been going to Mirage for years, and last week was my first time after the big renovation. The owners redid the whole place, the kitchen, dining room, THE POOL!!, lights and everything. the place is amazing and fun. these days there just arn't any good places that give you what your moneys worth, but Mirage has definatly stepped up its game. 5 stars all the way“
“Yesterday evening, my family and I dined at your restaurant Cava in Cambridge. We had the pleasure of meeting one of your service worker named Editi. She made our dining experience a pleasure. So much so, I can't wait to return in the near future with my family.“
“Among the wealth of “bowl” places in HSq, Cava is undoubtedly the fav. Their selection of delicious and convenient Greek inspired bowls have kept this grad student running on many late nights, and their staff are so sweet it’s usually with a smile. Among the staff I especially want to give my appreciation to Mike for the great banter and service :)“
“Food was absolutely delicious! Paul the owner is hands on with suggestions. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine in the North Shore. Paolo's is the real deal. You won't be disappointed, and the portions are generous to say the least.“
