Restaurants in Waltham

“Taco 🌮 Pastor, grilled habanero salsa and a Modelo draft 🍻 for lunch.”

“Excellent service, polite, knowledgeable and very professional. Food was great and having half sized pasta portions provide an excellent option. Highly recommend.”

“I had the BEST experience here! Morad George was so friendly it felt like I knew him for years! The food is always fresh and delicious. I would recommend this location and return all because of Morad George!”

“Me and my girl have been getting this place almost once a week for the past 6 months. We always get garlic naan, butter chicken or chicken Tikka masala (yeah we white as hell.)

This is hands down the best northern Indian cuisine in Waltham, maybe the entire Northeast. We've had a ton of other restaurants but here everything is straight flavor, fresh, tender & perfectly cooked.

Other than the insane food, the staff have all been friendly & attentive. The atmosphere is also clean and nice enough to bring a significant other for a fancy night.”

“Everything was great! Service and food was excellent!”

“Yesterday was the first time we tried the pizza at Pizzeria Enzina...Wow... and we are so glad we did. My husband and son ordered a calmelized onion and red pepper version and I tried the vegan veggie pizza. We were thrilled at how delicious each slice was and we loved everything, from the taste of the dough to the generous amount of toppings and how incredible the vegan cheese on mine tasted so amazing...yes my husband and son both swiped slices of mine... it was that good. So happy we found you Enzina....my new favorite ....can't wait to try other dishes and the canoli too!!! We are so grateful for such a wonderful meal!!”

The boba tea is yummy and I personally haven’t had food here yet but I like the options!”

“We ordered a large catering box of donuts and pastries from Peipei's for our office meeting, and I am so impressed. The ordering process was simple, price was fair, and most importantly, the delivery was perfectly on time.”

“Great food, friendly atmosphere. Veggie Enchiladas and Blood orange margarita…highly recommend!”

“Delicious food and excellent service!!”

“Outstanding! Great food and drinks, we are regulars. We took friends from the mid-west, and they said Margaritas was the best Mexican restaurant in the U.S.A.”

“Years ago, when I was a student in Boston, I met Osman in a Turkish restaurant. He was kind, hardworking, and always full of warmth. Seeing him now as the owner of this wonderful Turkish restaurant filled me with pride and gratitude. Osman’s hospitality, generosity, and genuine heart was into every detail of this place, from the warm welcome at the door to the last bite of dessert. And the food is absolutely phenomenal. Every dish has authentic flavors of Turkey, perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented, and made with love. From the tender kebabs to the fresh mezes and perfectly flaky baklava, it was a feast in every sense. You can feel the care and tradition in every bite. This restaurant isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a place to feel at home, to celebrate friendship, and to savor life. Thank you, Osman, for creating such a beautiful space. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️”

“Beautiful interior and food was amazing. The staff and bartenders were very attentive as well.”

“Top notch restaurant. Excellent amazing and wonderful service. Very attentive. The food was outstanding. This is a upscale beautiful wonderful restaurant. Highly recommended.”

“I have been nothing but happy with my ordering from AK's. The delivery charge is minimal and the delivery is super quick. Even when I order around lunch time, with the order tracker, I can see it leave the restaurant promptly. Each delivery driver has been very friendly. I am in love with the soup of the day! Worth it, all around!”

“The service and the food is amazing. I highly recommend it.”

“Enjoyed a lovely dinner for four at Gustazo/Waltham. The tapas were all excellent. Highly recommended. My only wish is that the noise level were lower, but that seems to be either impossible or just the way management likes it.”

“My husband and I enjoyed the 3 for 55 at the Waltham, MA location. We added the truffle butter to our steak and added the loaded bake potato to ourselected included sides. Our server Tyrone was so kind and went above to make us happy and comfortable.”

“First time trying this place and it was amazing! We got the roasted chicken, plantains, yaroa, and chicken & beef patties. Everything was tasty, and the sauce they gave us was great. Very authentic vibe and the staff were helpful and friendly. Will definitely be going back!”

“Loved the food, the service, great place 🙌🏼”

“I remember going there as a kid and getting there warn French bread, square pizza, lemon squares, and raspberry turnovers! Family treated you like family!”

“Our kids have been going to The Chateau for years and we really enjoyed this visit even though the kids are now 13 and 18. We go there mainly for the atmosphere and the bread. The service is friendly and the food is good enough. It's just nice to eat out in a nice family restaurant where you can get a nice booth and there are no stupid kiosks or QR code menus.”

“Annie is the most awesome bartender.she is so personable and helpful it was a great experience in Waltham”

“Really nice flavor on the carnitas and cabeza, solid lengua, and terrible carne asada tacos. Would say these tacos are smaller than used to (probably could get at this size and price in Manhattan which is saying something) so would just keep that in mind when ordering”

“Great food, great service. Classic 1948 stainless steel diner. Convenient onsite parking.”

“super amables yo les doy un 100”

“Best pizza in Waltham Crew was efficient and friendly Love papa ginos”

“Good place for a quick and satisfying lunch. These banh mi’s are served on fresh shatteringly crispy bread and they are filled with the protein of your choice plus jalapeño slices, cilantro, mayo and carrot and daikon pickle. I see some reviews complain about no pate but that is usually only in the cold cut banh mi. Staff are helpful and efficient. We got our food made to order in just a few minutes.”

“Great owners and food. They aim to please”

“Food was amazing came with so much even for the pricing I thought it was appropriate. Left full and did not leave any and customer service was so good kind and took care of us very well my water was always full I’m surprised this place isn’t packed 100% recommend”

“What a cute restaurant with delicious food! It's a bit unassuming from the outside along a busy street, but Fin's has a bright, open atmosphere inside. We enjoyed lunch on a late Sunday afternoon and highly recommend the beef fried rice, Chirashi sushi bowl, and the tuna poke bowl. The poke bowl was a unique and deliciously fun surprise with strawberries, mango, and avocado. The bowls came with miso soup, and everything was fresh and yummy. Great find in a busy neighborhood and close to 95.”

“Extremely friendly service/ Grabbed a coffee and a cranberry-orange muffin today- the muffin reminded me of my grandmother’s recipe- so moist!!! 👍”

“Caffé Ollo in Waltham is such a hidden gem! The Italian Caprese Toast Sandwich was fresh and flavorful, while the Chicken Salad Croissant and Classic Ham & Cheese Croissant were buttery, flaky, and absolutely delicious. I also loved their pastries – the Blueberry Cheese Danish and Blueberry Mascarpone Slice were light yet indulgent, and the Strawberry Cake Slice was the perfect sweet treat.

Their smoothies are amazing too – you can really taste the difference with the 100% real fruit. The Berry Berry Smoothie was refreshing, the Mango Smoothie was tropical and smooth, and the Harvest Green Smoothie felt both healthy and tasty.

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and high-quality food and drinks make this place a must-visit café in Waltham!”

“I recently moved and used to be a couple minutes away from this place and will really miss it. The servings are very generous and the prices are fair. A nice hidden gem if you’re ever on moody st. It’s almost always empty inside but don’t let that fool you!”

“Foods are delicious. My first experience in this restaurant was great. Tasty and delicious food.”

“I and my husband had a dinner yesterday and food was delicious, Angelo, our server was excellent, real pro. The restaurant by itself gave us a feeling of the real Italy. Thank you!”

“I started eating here for more vegan options and to eat healthy. The food is always fresh, it’s a hot bar but constantly replenished.
Even though the food is lightly seasoned (there are a lot of older customers) it is packed with flavor. The best part is seeing Masao doing his craft. He is genuinely happy and appreciative of all his customers, and his exuberance is quite contagious. Although he is a man of few words his actions and the kindness in his eyes speak volumes. If you order in a to go box, you place the box on a plate when it is weighed. I think the pricing is on par with other hot/ salad bars.”

“Unquestionably the best steak n cheese anywhere. I’ve been to South Philly and tried both Pats and Genos. I’ll take real American cheese over cheez whiz Thank You. Not to mention there is no attitude like the above mentioned”

“We’ve been coming here since they opened. Their menu has evolved and it’s a go to for the Waltham/Watertown/Newton area without having to go into Boston.

The ingredients are fresh and the place is clean. Lately we’ve been going weekly for dinner and it never disappoints. Their liquor/drink selection is a great bonus as well!

Highly recommend if you’re in the area~”

“Good matcha and savory croissants are awesome”

“My 8 and 10 year old and I LOVED eating in the restaurant and our whole family loves it as take out and delivery. In particular, my kids loved the ramen saying it's the best they've tasted. We all loved the sushi (SO fresh) and I particularly loved giving the Sushi Chef (who I hear is a master who would love to practice his craft creatively off menu when given the chance :) my loves, preferences and any dietary constraints and he just surprised us w/delicious stuff of his own creation. It's become our favorite!”

“Excellent ice cream place! Tonight went there for the first time and head black raspberry chip it was really good. The owner is a great guy too talk with him at the register. I highly recommend this place.”

“Went to this restaurant after seeing it featured on Phantom Gourmet and my husband and myself left full of good food. The food was tasty and came to our table ready to eat and the service was great! They gave us everything we needed in a timely manner. The restaurant was on a smaller scale but we got a table pretty quickly without making a reservation. We even had the dessert of the strawberry shaved ice which had a bowl that was big enough to easily feed the two of us and it was very delicious!”

“the best! lunch dinner, great service, highly recommended”

“I recently learned about this place through my friends and had a great experience. The food was well prepared especially the Ma Po tofu and the Spicy beef in Sichuan style. They also offer a wide variety of cocktails and beer. The service was excellent and the food came out decently quick. Overall this spot delivers authentic traditional chinese food, excellent service, and a comfortable atmosphere. I recommend this place especially if you enjoy spicy food and sichuan style Chinese food”

“The staff was friendly. The food was delicious. The price was reasonable.”

“Absolutely wonderful small bakery. I feel like one of the family every time I go there. I get to try new food specialties from Guatemala! Yum. Today Today it was an amazing tortita. I was planning on taking a photo of it to add to the post but I ate it too soon!!! Yum!!! Totally recommend it.”

And the food is great! I highly recommend their calzones. They also have a fantastic rewards system for regulars. I really love this place and I hope it will be here forever.”

“I find no problems with the staff here. They are always cheery and helpful. I do think there could be some efficiency improvements and the wait times are a little long and a bit pricey for cafeteria food. But otherwise food is generally decent and selection is variably good to very good.”

“I have been going to Grassfields for many years and have been very pleased. The past few times I have been there I ordered the broiled scallops and have been disappointed. The muscle on the scallops are not removed which are very tough to eat. Also I feel they are gritty. I am hoping that someone reads this and corrects the issue because Grassfields is a lovely place.”
