“Fantastic dinner, very dish was unique as were the cocktails. So often cocktails are marketed well but executed poorly, not the case here, fantastic creativity. Desserts were equally impressive. Service was wonderful and friendly, even with us dinning with kids.

“This pure vegetarian restaurant located in Cambridge, Boston, offers a variety of salad bowls, warm salads, burgers, sandwiches, soups, wraps, noodles, milkshakes, juices, etc. The menu is diverse and healthy. This is the warm salad bowl - rainbow harvest, with vegetables of various colors, boiled and then stir-fried, including brown rice and sweet potatoes to increase satiety, as well as beetroot, kale and carrots. It has a crisp texture and has tofu cubes to add protein. It is also seasoned with salad dressing, and the overall taste is more integrated. It is very delicious and warms up the body and mind.

“Love the clean variety on the menu. I took a good five minutes deciding which salad to order as they all looked so good! Eventually, I went for the Mexican salad and it bursted with flavors and texture. The soups are good too (tried the broccoli cheddar). The drink list is also elaborate (smoothies, teas, coffees etc.) For some drinks there’s the option to make ‘em “dirty” by adding an espresso shot. We tried the iced matcha latte and loved it. This place is cozy, colorful, and welcoming. The downstairs seating makes it good for big parties. I especially like this location (easily accessible if you take the red line) and so much to do around Harvard Square. Lastly, I can speak volume about the service here: super friendly and happy people. Highly recommend.“

“The food is good, the drinks are excellent and the vibe is really nice. Their decor invites you to stay. This time around the first floor was a bit too cold but if you’re seated on the lower level you should have a more comfortable stay. In general a great place to have drinks and food after work or school, especially if you go for their Mucho Monday promo!

Vegetarian options: There are many dishes that don’t include meat.“

“The truffle hamburger was very small for the price ($11) and had minimal truffle sauce and combined with the truffle fries ($7), I don't think the value was worth price paid (combined with a drink/tax/tip, comes out to ~ $25). However, the bowls are filling, no sides necessary, and therefore feel to be of greater value.I have ordered the eggplant meatballs several times as well as sweet potato fries. I liked both but I know the fries are hit or miss for some folks.“

“Small Cava in Harvard Square. It’s been my go to for the past 2 months whenever I drive into work.

My Order: brown rice, mini spinach/arugula mix, spicy chicken, sliced cucumbers with cut up broccoli, feta cheese, and light garlic dressing

Price: depending on what you ask (+tax) comes out to $12-$15. Most food places around the square are “pricey”, but Cava is definitely a HEALTHIER option than most places

One bowl alone gets me through for the rest of the day and for that, I’M THANKFUL!“

“We went on a Friday night and the restaurant was not crowded - I think because it hasn't yet been discovered as it's off the beaten path, tucked behind the Alewife T station amidst the apartment buildings there. They have a lovely ambience with spacious outdoor seating and a fire pit as well as a spacious indoor dining area that doesn't make you feel crowded next to strangers. The restaurant offers a small menu but with very interesting flavor combinations - especially among their house cocktails - and there was something for everyone (vegetarian or carnivore). We ended up splitting several shareable plates and each one was a winner. And all of the servers were pleasant and attentive. It's now on our list of go-to places.“

“I like the size/portion of the pizza, perfect for one person. Everyone can order their favorite and share if you want. Their pizza is always delicious! We didn’t ordered online first, but it was not bad to just wait there.
One thing is they don’t often clean tables, so it depends on customers to keep it clean after themselves, which is what we all should have been doing, but we also know, some people just can’t.
So I wouldn’t mind wipe the table if needed.“

I was responsible for feeding a group of about 25 young people, and one day they wanted chicken fingers and fries, and one day they wanted pizza. The staff at the restaurant was helpful and kind, and the food was phenomenal. This restaurant has become my go-to to serve a crowd in Kendall Square. Thank you, thank you!!“
