Halal Restaurants near Cambridge, MA

“I had just missed my flight back home and after 5 hours at the airport things began to look rather grim. I then decided to take a walk and by complete luck happened to use this location as a pickup spot for my Uber. What started as me wanting a small snack then turned into a newfound appreciation for Somali cuisine and an eating experience I will have yet to forget. Tawakal Halal gave me the best food and service in about 14 minutes than other establishments have managed to give me in an hour, so great in fact, that I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if I didn’t go a second time before I left. The food by itself is beyond amazing and I could write a whole review entirely on how great the food is, however, my personal favorites were the Goat Biryani and the Halwa as an excellent dessert option after. In addition to the food, the service here was amazing as well. The staff were always making sure I had everything I needed and doing everything they could to make my experience there a pleasant one, even offering me tea as I waited for my Uber. All in all, the best way I could describe this café to anyone wanting to know more about it is that it is truly everything you could ever ask for in a dining experience: fantastic food and amazing service. It even no longer made me upset that I missed my flight that day for if I hadn’t, I would have never been able to find this gem of a café. Thank you, Tawakal Halal, so much for giving me an experience I will never forget and know that when I return to Boston, you can bet the first stop on my itinerary will be your café.

“The best Mediterranean food in Cambridge, I recommended this place, good food, good prices, and very nice customer service. Thank you ???“

“The biggest problem we had with dinner last night was getting to Boston from Gloucester! We were delayed, but they saved our table in a corner that was quiet and it was great from there on. It has been a while since we had come to Helmand, but it will not be long before we're back.“

“My new favorite eating spot when I’m in Cambridge waiting on the commuter train 🚂“

“The food was AMAZING!! Our server was quick and checked up on us frequently. If you are looking for quality Indian food I highly recommend coming here and having their pani puri! 100000000/10 would pay millions to come here for the first time again“

“Falafel Corner is one of my favorite Boston-area falafel spots. For a tiny place next to a university that's open until 3am, you might be expecting food that's best consumed drunk, but you'd be wrong. The falafel has a delightful herby flavor that always pleasantly surprises me, and it's got an excellent consistency as well. I will admit I haven't tried much else on the menu, but that's only because I can't pass up their falafel.“
