Cuchi Cuchi was my favorite restaurant in the Boston area. Very sad to hear it is closing permanently. Hope the owners reconsider and reopen in some location!

This quirky Cambridge spot NEVER disappoints! The food, service and atmosphere is top notch. I recently returned after not having been for awhile and was instantly reminded of why I love and so highly recommend this restaurant! Some great dishes are definitely the Cuban cigars and chicken Kiev! Must go!

Great creative small plates for when you want something new & unique. Eclectic atmosphere where even the staff dress in vintage roaring 20’s wear. Unusual creative cocktails.

My girlfriend and I were really excited to try this place, as we have passed by it a million times and it looked so intriguing. When we got there, we loved the atmosphere and the drinks and the waitresses were great. We got the Ceviche, grilled octopus, Indian lamb and risotto. To be honest all were solid not fantastic. We finished with the banana bread dessert which was great, but the real issues didn't begin until we got home. As soon as we got home something was up with my stomach, but it wasn't until I was woken up at 3 am nauseous that I knew something was wrong. I had to rush to the bathroom the vomit and basically stayed in there until 6 am. My girlfriend herself had similar symptoms and actually had to call out of work the next day. We split everything, so it's hard to nail down exactly what the cause was but my guess would be the ceviche or the octopus which was a bit slimy on the inside. If the food was over the top great, I'd probably give them a second chance but after seeing the reviews of others getting sick from their seafood I would recommend avoiding this place totally. If you can't prepare seafood correctly don't serve it.

Ambiance inside is beautiful. Cocktails were especially good. Food was good but I prefer their sister restaraunt, Dali. Great date spot

A fun and funny place that delights with its charming atmosphere and delicious food. We enjoyed the Cuban cigar the most.

So we came, we saw, and we had a blast! After a messed up reservation time all is forgiven. This place is so cool, quirky, sticks to a 1920 Speak easy style. It's staff really take on their interpretation of this and look incredible in their own right.

Great cocktails, pricey food. Portions are always smaller than I remember, you end up ordering 4 things for 3 people, and then they're slow so you order more cocktails. Cute place for a date night or a group hang though.
The food an service was simply FANTASTIC, I can't give it 5 stars because I went for good food and a romantic evening with my wife, but the place was so loud I had problems listening to my wife the wait staff and vice versa. A MUST GO FOR GOOD FOOD! Will go again soon to try the multiplicity of dishes.

Absolutely delicious baklava and kourabiedes. Will be going back to try more items. The kourabiedes are light as a feather. Highly recommended.Great sandwiches! The fat boy roll they have is fantastic. Good cakes and pastries. Get something fresh when you visit. I went here once and there was a couple in front of me stocking up and over heard they were from Manchester!

I feel like people either really like this place or find it odd. I really like it. It's got a different atmosphere than you'll find any where outside of one of those "odd" towns like Austin or Key West. It's just funky. It could be any year outside when your in there. The food is all really good, the staff is all very friendly. I'd definitely give it a try if you're curious.

Great place to be! They have delicious small plates. All their dishes are small plates and they have a very cozy vibe. It's a good place for business meetings or dates. I did think they were a tad bit pricey for someone on a limited budget, but it's still totally worth it to go there!

Like other reviews said, as soon as you walk in here it's like you're transported to another world! Waiters and waitresses are all dressed in costume. The food is described as "small plates" and maybe it's just because I'm from out of town, but I really felt like they were normal sized plates. My colleague and I ordered 3 plates total to share and we felt like it was enough food. We got the Grilled Skirt Steak, Gobi Manchurian and vegetarian empanadas. For dessert we ordered the almond rum cake. The entrées were great, but the dessert was a little lacking. The entrées were very flavorful and savory. The cake however was dry and lacked flavor. The best part of the dessert were the poached pear slices on the side. The service was great and friendly!
