Fantastic service , great food
My friends and I visited Brookline Lunch for the first time, and it did not disappoint! This Middle Eastern–inspired breakfast spot serves up delicious dishes packed with flavor. The atmosphere is great, the team was friendly, and our food came out quickly. You can really tell that everything is super fresh.
The highlights for us were the baklava pancakes and the za’atar egg bowl—both were so delicious! We’re already looking forward to coming back...read full review

The food was fantastic (we had breakfast) the owner has a heart so big I think it barely fits in his chest. Definitely will come back next year. We are from Texas. Thank you for the utmost hospitality. Rate it a 12

Brookline Lunch is a phenomenal diner in Cambridge's Central Square area, known for its unique dishes like Baklava Pancakes. This family-owned restaurant offers many vegetarian menu options and is worth waiting for, even on busy weekends. The food is delicious, with standout dishes like shakshuka, zatar bowl, and beef curry, all made with generous portions. The baklava pancakes are particularly mouth-watering, rich, and can easily be shared. Customers have praised the Jerusalem omelette for its veggie-packed goodness. While the atmosphere can be quite loud due to the open kitchen and music, the temperature is comfortable with a big fan in the dining room. It is important to note that the restaurant is cash-only, and there is an ATM across the street. Although the lines can be long, the staff is friendly, and the food is worth the wait. However, some customers have mentioned that the tables could be cleaner and that the restaurant tends to get hot due to limited air circulation.
