“What a find for an amazing fresh and hot Mediterranean meal!! Everything tastes so good and Cilicia is right next to the Natick Common ! I’ve eaten there a bunch and take food for lunches every week! I have fallen in love with his salads, grape leaves ,baba ghanoush,tzatziki, chicken and hot sandwiches and my gluten free daughter loves his falafel, rice pudding, hummus and grape leaves. There’s also a whole market of neat imported food and fresh baklava!! I definitely recommend going there!!Vegetarian options: A majority of the food is yummy vegetarian dishes!!Dietary restrictions: My gluten free daughter can find things there and I mostly eat a vegetarian diet and that’s most of the food!!Kid-friendliness: The owner loves kids and is very friendly!Wheelchair accessibility: Right off the sidewalk and spacious for a wheel chair to get around and roll up to the tables to eat.“
“Cozy little cafe serving shockingly good Mediterranean food. We are huge kebab + rice fans and boy this didn't disappoint. We are so used to lamb kebabs being too firm but this lamb was perfectly cooked - juicy and tender. The spices used on the meat + veggies in the combo dinner were scrumptious. You get these cute little roasted peppers mixed in with the rice, a delicious salad, and fresh made hummus. Everything was incredible. The combo meal fed us both for dinner and lunch the next day. Great for the price too! I can't wait to come back.“

“What a great place! We found this while searching for vegan/vegetarian spots in the area. We got dolmas, a falafel pita wrap and a hummus and veggie pita wrap. The fillings were fresh, pita huge and crunchy and delicious, and the most smooth hummus ever. Need to come back here to try the impossible meatballs soon!“
“First time trying this restaurant. It was excellent. Had the chicken kebob plate and it was very good. All the food is freshly made with the best ingredients. The owner is most definitely service oriented and treats his patrons with great service and a nice meal!“
“Outstanding food. Quick friendly service. Our large group was served with a delightful meal. We were able to try most of the appetizers and enjoyed them all. We split several plates of the lamb shank, jerk chicken, and kofta. Amazing spicing.“
“I got the variety shawarma with lamb, kofta, and chicken. The price you pay goes a LONG way in food. Delicious shawarma with side salad, falafel, fries, pita, and hummus. Enough food in one order for 2-3 people to share. Employees are extremely friendly with excellent service. Great clean packaging for easy take out transport. 10/10 delicious middle eastern food. Highly recommend.“
“went to this location as my friend wanted cavas but I was on the fence ( trying new things kind of deal ) as we stood in line Halil took care of my friend and when he asked me what I wanted I declined as like I said before i was weary of new things but halil didn't want to see me walk out the building without trying cava products as a potential new customer could be created ! And let me tell you ! This Man deserves a raise! He is so thoughtful and made me comfortable trying cavas for the first time. CAVAS IS A MUST!!! The spicy chicken and avocado was absolutely amazing and you can definitely taste the love !! The people here are great and so i the food! A weary customer is now changed into a customer for life ! Because of the crew and halils quick thinking on the topic ! Thank you and good job !“
“We knew we wanted Magic Bites to cater our family event and we were so pleased that we did! Atilla and Elif were helpful and patient planning the menu and everything was top notch delicious. They knew we had some allergies in the family and they made an extra effort to create large labels with all ingredients. I highly recommend them!!“
“I love this place! Always fresh ingredients, very pleasant people work here. I am European and I can tell- this is the best authentic Gyros in Boston area!I prefer lamb Gyro, but the chicken one is delicious as well. Their baklava is to die for! The owner and his beautiful, charming wife are so kind and welcoming, so I feel I often just stop by to greet them and grab a small bite. I highly recommend this place! 5 stars ?!“
“Our family keeps an “Ethnic Cuisine Bucket List” that’s going to be harder to complete, now that we’ve found Al Wadi. We drove 25 miles to check it out, and we cannot wait to come back. We had the mezza sampler platter (beautiful and fresh), and Shakeeb, our attentive server, made sure we ordered well, “but not too well!” Magnificent lamb shank, tabouli, and eggplant stew. Actual quote from our 12-year-old: “There’s going to be a ‘next time,’ right dad?”There most certainly will!Did I mention they have parking, too? Five stars, all the way.Vegetarian options: Vegan, too.Kid-friendliness: Our 12 and 15 year old boys were not put upon and loved it. Other families there with small children.“
“Dietary restrictions: Very inclusive and a wide variety of vegetarian and vegan options!Kid-friendliness: All the workers are enthusiastic and the ambiance is comfortable enough for kids to enjoy!Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible, the only obstruction is the door into the store but I’m sure someone can help. Very accessible!!“
“Oh my goodness. I'm only halfway done and I feel I MUST rate this place right now! First, be aware of the hours. They are not open all hours of the day.But, wow, the red glazed pork is one of the most wonderfully divine foods I've put in my mouth! So hot, juicy and flavorful. I was offered to taste samples (the host was so very nice) of a few items, I wanted this, tasted this and immediately ordered. Served over a bed of white rice, the juices just soak in and every bite is an intense pleasure. Gosh, I sound hokey and made up. I'm being serious as a heart attack.To top it off, I added optional green beans and those were very delightful, too! Well cooked with a nice snap and awesome buttery flavor, they were the perfect topping to break up the pork nirvana.You can bet I'll be back. The hard part will be trying other dishes instead of just having this over and over.“
“Superiorly delicious, healthy, and reasonably priced is how I would describe the food at My Other Kitchen most concisely. Their Greek salad with chicken souvlaki is addictively good - it goes great with George's pita bread. Their hamburger tastes better than any burger I have had elsewhere, even at much higher prices! I highly recommend this place for takeout, but they also have limited seating inside and bigger tables outside in the warmer months.“
“This place was recommended to me by a close friend to try, so I made a point to drop by today, and I'm extremely glad I made that choice.Oftentimes when I have a wrap, I usually don't think much of it, it doesn't remind me of what I've had in Paris or in Montreal, referring to the Shawarma trucks.When I came inside, I asked the gentleman behind the counter what is a popular recommendation, what meat choice is fresh and so forth.The chicken shawarma was recommended, as a wrap, that wasn't my first choice I was thinking in my head but I wanted to go with what they were suggesting, and I'm glad that I did. They told me that it would be pretty garlicky and if I was okay with that, and optionally there are onions that he would add too, and I said give me everything.I added a side of hummus as well, which came with pita bread, as I usually like to try people's hummus when I can.I sat down, small cafe like environment, with some great looking hand-painted murals of Aleppo and Armenia, which I did learn it was by local artist which made me really excited. Lunch time, weekday, not crowded, got lucky on the parking.I first got my hummus served first, it was a delight, and I specially love the thin pita bread, that was tender and fresh not hard like a old piece of sunbaked cardboard.While sipping my diet coke, I got lost in the painting in front of me which was a village in armenia, completely mesmerizing in terms of energy.Moments later my wrap was served, and I was excited, because it wasn't the big hard pita bread wrap that I often times see here in the east coast, at least in the Greater Boston area, and it was tightly wrapped, what I mean is it was condensed and tight, not loose and airy, as those loose and airy wraps I often times get falls apart in my hands and pretty much it's a poor eating experience.And I'm glad I got the onions, it's pretty much my first rap that I've eaten here in the Greater Boston area that really sung a wonderful song in my heart, from a foodie to a foodie, this isn't your regular chicken shawarma wrap. It actually didn't remind me of what I usually think of chicken from would taste like, which oftentimes carry the traditional American trappings of iceberg lettuce, and common and mundane ingredients.This had ingredients that I am not natively familiar with, I don't know if it's sumac or a mysterious sauce I haven't tried yet but the onions and the other vegetable like ingredients which I should have paid attention to, a very bright contrasting backdrop against the chicken, which was amazing in its own right, although I'm not a chicken guy, the whole collective eating experience was new to me at least here in america. And dare I say, unlike a meat wrap with veggies that oftentimes boring wraps are, this had the feeling of a medicinal quality, and a feeling of the food temperatures like hot and colds, that often times European cultures in folk, as well as Chinese cultures. Exciting ingredient play that works off of each other that were both sublime, with a deceptive front pallet attack. The garlic oil which the gentleman described was, simply a lot of garlic, really is yet another level of wrap of the whole food experience.tldr; an exciting gem of a place in which my wrap experience superseded anything I've had here in New England thus far.Vegetarian options: They had a lot of other vegetable options, not sure about vegan, but I'm sure you're familiar with what those might be such as falafel, and vegetable wraps, I believe there are also salads too, not to diminish the vegetarian world's experience.“
“Food: I came here for the baklawa. They came pre-packaged for $7.99, so unfortunately they weren't fresh, but they still tasted fine reheated. The baklawa was very flaky and not too sweet, which I liked. I think the amount that I got was good for the price. I would grab another box to satisfy a craving.Service: This is a market, so there is no service, but I had no issues with the cashier.Ambiance: There is a small parking lot out front.“
“My bf and I are trying to eat healthier, and we really like this chain! You can get great Mediterranean bowls with greens, whole grains like lentils, and falafel or grilled chicken. We've tried the spicy green bowl with falafel and the chicken date balsamic; very, very tasty and the manager is very friendly. We'll definitely be back, as there are several more bowls we want to try! This is so much healthier than pub food and delicious, too. We need this chain down in the Worcester area!“
“Jana. My goodness.I passed this place for years sitting in traffic in Watertown square. It became a running gag to say the name while driving by.Finally after years we actually went. I had been missing out on the juiciest kebabs, delicious flavors, and a great supporting cast of appetizers. They also do fun weekday soup dumpling specials.Don't be like us. Go to Jana ASAP.“
“You never get old food, everything is cooked per order. Some say or even eat junk food just because they are in a rush for whatever it might be totally less important than getting good quality and healthy food. Just call them 5-10 before you get there... They are super accommodating to cook your food before you get there... I discovered this place over 10 years ago and have not ever gotten bad food or service.“
“We really enjoyed eating and spending some time here. The sandwiches and coffee were delicious with high quality ingredients. The staff was incredibly friendly and came to check on us a few times and asked a few questions. They even gave us a complimentary dessert to share!“
