Very disappointed to hear they are discontinuing their gluten free bread. I used to love eating here - I work nearby and would almost always choose it for lunch.

My son and I came into Cambridge from South Boston because we LOVE Kibitz Corner (Mamalehs vegan counterpart around the corner).

I used to be a frequent visitor to Mamaleh's - Kendall Square in the years following their opening. Hadn't been back in a while so decided to check it out again on a Saturday evening after seeing a movie nearby.

Table service is gone - you now order at the counter and they bring the food out to you when ready....
