“Ginger tea was fab. Ran out of Maine beer. Fresh spring rolls were disappointing with little flavor, mostly lettuce with mint leaves on the outside & a thick sticky sauce with crushed peanut on top that was just ok & had to ask for 2 additional containers as portion was skimpy. Dumplings were average. Massaman curry was tasty. Sauce was a bit thin over the tasty rice. Curry was seved in an elevated crock pot designed to have heat source underneath, which was non existant. Not as good as previous Thai place there but will try again & pick different items. Seating is a bit on top of each other but expected at these small places.“
“This review is based on a pizza/sub-shop. I have only had one bad meal from Lexington house and it was a steak and cheese sub and it was a 3 star sub. I have been ordering from here for the last 2 years and had consistently amazing pizza, fries, wings, and chicken cutlets subs. The service is great the delivery drivers are usually very quick and nice. The owners and staff are very kind a friendly as well. If you love Greek pizza this is your spot. Fries are always crispy!“
“The food here is amazing, like really the food is incomparable to anything else. everything on the menu is 10/10 and the people are so friendly and so kind. They are so charismatic and talkative and make you feel very at home. There’s not enough stars to give them :)“
“I was dejected from having the displeasure of a quite frankly awful experience at a putrid spanish restaurant down the street. I had decided to come here in a pinch to satiate my growing hunger, and it did not disappoint.The waiter was helpful and nice, and the environment was quite lovely. I was seated in a booth with my group, and I ordered the New york Bianca with Italian sausage and hot honey. The pizza was absolutely delicious and I couldn't recommend more. The other pizzas looked great as well.I can not speak on the appetizers as we did not order any. However, they looked good too.5/5“
“Huge portions, you must get the house prepared fettucine if you are offered a pasta option. The staff was very friendly and being our first time helped us pick out great options for dinner (she told us about the fettucine). We were sat quickly. Only unfortunate thing is the door bringing so much outside cold air in to the small restaurant, they do try hard to cut down on the cold air by keeping a curtain pulled to try to block it as best they can. Can't wait to go back.“
“I work at Mount Auburn Hospital as an ER nurse. With their kindness and generosity, donated and had food sent to all ER Staff on 3/23/2020 at around 21:30-22:00. I just want to say thank you very much for all your generosity (especially on this tough times).“
“This was an amazing dining experience. Beautiful, tho small restaurant. Perfect service at the bar. The most delicious halibut I have ever had in my 43 years of life. I never knew halibut could be cooked that perfectly. SUPER impressed. Thank you to Antonio and Chef Dave!“
“absolutely loved this resturant. it is a sister resturant to futago udon right next door and the service is just as wonderful. eating the mazesoba truly is an experience - the combination of the flavors of the runny egg yolk and the umami flavors of the sauce is wonderful. you can also add vinegar to your noodles to change up the taste which I find fantastic. yuzu mazesoba was light, acidic, and refreshing. portion is just right. after you finish your noodles the leftover sauce is eaten with a free scoop of rice. just a wonderful resturant!“
“amazing job this morning to one of the managers there who i believe told me his name is Jose Amazing customer service and the first time experience this man have given me super friendly staff there Hands down the best Food ive tasted their grill cook she knows what she doing :)“

“Initially I was concerned that I wouldn't find any vegan options in Boston. The Life Alive Organic Cafe in Cambridge was a great find. They are plant based having vegetarian and vegan options. The food is fresh, quality and the tastes a great.A wide range of dishes including warm grain bowls, salads, wraps, noodles and soups, and desserts. The beverages include smoothies, cold pressed juices, coffees, teas and suoerfood.lattes.This is definitely on par with the best vegan food I have had in London. Free WiFi, great food and service what more could you ask for. A short distance from MIT you should put it on your to do list.Pictured are Miso Tofu Ramen, Grilled Pita and Blue Breeze.Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
“We have ordered Work Hard Eat Good multiple times for catered work events and let me tell you, our employees don't get this excited for any other caterers! The jerk chicken and the mango salsa go SO well together, and the plantains are a lovely sweet treat too. The owners are down-to-earth and very pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend trying them out!“
“The secret is finally out. Best pizza west of Santarpios. The Greek chicken wrap is criminal and desserts outstanding. The owneris a true gentleman, and the Highlands are nowi the place to go for foodies. Wonderful to see the place thrivingParking: Side streets not metered“
“Love this place! The chicken pesto Panini is my absolute go-to—it's so flavorful and satisfying. The customer service here is top-notch too. The owner is super friendly, always greets me by name, and makes me feel right at home. It's those personal touches that keep me coming back for more!“
“Ordered on a whim on Uber Eats and was thrilled after I took the first bite. Everything we ordered was delicious, portions were great, and the food was packed nicely! Came back the next day to order again because it was DELICIOUS! Will definitely be returning and telling others about this place.“
“We had the best experience here! The staff was so friendly and helpful, and the food was top notch Italian! Really have nothing but good things to say. We will definitely be back!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp leading up to the door.“
“Staff and service is speedy & great! Not many vegetarian options including protein though, vegetarians need protein too!! They keep the front outside seating part of the restaurant clean and tidy but the playground side w/ the hedges is always FULL of cigarettes butts & trash.“
“Love this place for how amazing the experience is you can always trust a place to sit down friendly people they are by far the best chicken fast food chian another reason I like chick fil a is because they hold christian values to and with me being one that is what makes it more special for me this place“
“not pictured is a ham, egg and cheese on a plain bagel which was so good! mom and fiance both loved their breakfast. our server was lovely. restaurant was clean. would definitely return for breakfast. only downside to here is there's not a lot of parking“
“Hands down! This is the best middle eastern food you can get. Great hospitality, friendly staff. Price over value is very good. All food items including the salads are great. I tried the whole roasted chicken, and I’m speechless. اكل اسكندرااااانى يا ناااس والاتحاد سيد البلد“
“The menu is quite expansive, so this is a good catering option. I love middle eastern/Mediterranean food, so I’ve tried a lot of different places in Boston. Compared to other places, I wouldn’t say Sultana’s makes the cut for my favorites, but it wasn’t bad.- Spinach feta quiche: The portion size is good, but the flavor was bland. I wasn’t able to finish it.- Cookies: The cookies weren’t overly sweet, which I liked. They were crumbly yet soft.- Fruit yogurt pastry: This was my favorite. I liked that they are bite-sized (though, this is also dangerous because you’ll end up eating a lot). The pastry was flaky, and the yogurt was sweet, which balanced the tartness of the fruits.- Caprice acma: I wasn’t a fan of this. The acma was too doughy. Maybe it would have tasted better warm.Happy to have tried a new place, but I probably wouldn’t come back.“
“Really delicious steaks, I loved the plantain and fried cassava bits. A variety of items at the salad bar, and nice side dishes. Servers were amazing. The Cajà fresh juice was really good!!! The only observation would be to make sure the line to self-served dishes should be on the other side to clear off the front area near the dessert counter. Other than that the food was outstanding. Definitely visit again!“
“I went here like 10 years ago, then happen to revisit it tonight. All i can say is EXCELLENT all around: meal, service, atmosphere. I had the eggplant parm w spaghetti. And a bowl of minestrone soup...very tastey, not salty. The staff should be applauded and recognized for their friendly personalities and hard work!! Its a quaint atmosphere too. They also honor luncheon menu during dinner. Nobody does that in the industry.:^)Definitely coming back more often. Great Italian restaurant!!!“
“It is the best tourist trap that locals go to...skip tasty burger or shake shack in Harvard Sq and just go to Mr Bartleys for a superior burger at a very similar price pointBiggest issue is no public restroom for a sit down place, but its the city's fault not the business“
“OMG! This place was awesome!!! Came here for lunch and what a gem! Love the atmosphere and decor of a small diner. Service was excellent and the food was so fresh and delicious. Parking is a bit trickery because of the location. We actually parked in the CVS parking lot and walked across. But definitely if in the area make sure to stop in. Only place to find Crazy Noodles which my husband couldn't stop talking about. Mixture of large noodles with fresh veggies.“
“Needed a quick bite to eat and was not from the area. Google quickly gave me ziggy, and I was very happy about that decision. The o ly thing that could have made it better was an adult beverage.Thanks, ziggy, for your great service.. keep up the good work!“
“Ive been coming to Noor for the past two years since I live locally and it quickly became one of my favorite places to eat at - of all time.My go to order is the beef shawarma plate on a bed of fries, a side salad and *extra* garlic sauce. 11 times out of 10 it hits the spot. The food is cooked to perfection and they take pride in how they serve their customers.The crew who work there are all top notch, they take notice of frequent flyers and treat you as a friend when you walk in the door. An absolute must try if you are in the area or love Mediterranean cuisine.“
“The Zaatar flatbread was great if you like the taste of Zaatar. The Chicken Shawarma is the second best in Massachusetts. It's reflects the flavor of a true Lebanese Chicken Sharma upto a great extent (except, the flavor was really light). But the chicken seemed a little dry and the size of the shawarma is a little small for the price.“
“Best pizza in Brookline! Meat lovers was great, taste of crust could be improved. White pizza was boring. Great mocktails and service. Fun atmosphere.FYI Boston has better places like Locale.Vegetarian options: Whole menu section for vegans“

It’s been a great support to my routine of fitness and yoga, providing meals that are not only good for you but also delicious.“
“We dined early at Bar ‘Cino this evening. It's Restaurant Week, and this place offered three courses for $36; there were lots of choices in all three courses, so we decided to try it. Restaurant Week pre-fixe menus are a mixed bag; many restaurants fail to put their best foot forward in their effort to attract new diners. But tonight's experience was quite the opposite. Among the three of us, we ordered a romaine and kale Caesar, meatballs in polenta and sweet potato frittela first, followed by chicken Milanese, braised pork shoulder and grilled salmon. We closed a vanilla panna cotta and a couple of lemon cakes topped with strawberry mousse. All of the firsts and mains were very good, and some — the meatballs, chicken and pork — were excellent. Unlike many other restaurants running pre-fixe promos, Bar ‘Cino did not skimp on anything. The plates were all generous and in some cases (the meatballs, Caesar and chicken), they were enormous. The desserts were nothing to write home about; they seemed almost institutional in their ordinariness. But whatever, we'd already eaten, frankly, too much. We had a terrific server, Joseph, who was friendly, helpful, personable and relaxed. We enjoyed his repartee. But other aspects of the service were uneven. As common as slow service tends to be, especially in crowded restaurants, it's highly unusual that the service is too fast. But tonight's courses definitely came out too quickly, with virtually no time between them to catch our breath. Plus, the food runner essentially brought the dishes to the table and placed them anywhere there was room — not even placing the wrong choice in front of each diner. It's not that it was a hardship to place the dishes in front of each diner ourselves, but it's not what you dine out for. In all, a wonderful meal and experience. Will definitely be back.“
“Energize is my all time favorite place to eat healthy and feel my best! Everything on their menu is plant-based, organic, and DELICIOUS -- I order something different every time and am delighted with my choice! And above all, the people who work at Energize make the atmosphere incredibly welcoming, they even know my name! LOVE THIS PLACE!!!“
“We went to Orinoco a little under an hour before closing. We were seated immediately and the waiter was very attentive. We had hoped to eat some arepas but they were out of them. I recommend getting here earlier if that's what you're craving. We ended up getting the empanada trio, the Pabellon Criollo (which I did not realize also had plantains), the maracuchitos and the tostones. Yes, all the plantains in the menu. It kind of happened by accident but it worked out great. We got our food incredibly fast! Everything was delicious. However, the tostones and the empanadas were my favorite. I also had a maracuya juice, which was sweet and refreshing. We really liked our waiter, we was very nice and attentive. I wish I remembered his name to give him a shout out. I really enjoy the food from Orinoco. Historically, I had only gone to the restaurant in the South End but I'm glad to see the one at Harvard Square maintains the same flavors. I can't wait to be back for arepas.“
“On my way home from work and all I could think about was their Chicken Caesar Salad, honestly, the best chicken!No matter what I’m in the mood for, I know I can come here if I want something really good and don’t feel like cooking ?Honestly though, if you have not tried this place, you need to! They always have the best food!“
“i had the opportunity to try energize today for the first time today and the bowl was made so good I recommend to those if you are looking for something healthy and refreshing i spend about 20$ for just me which in today economy is the same as eating junk food might as well spend the same amount amount on some food that will be good for you 10/10“
“I have grown to consider Mothership as a solid option of the past few months! I'm glad to see new items on the menu and look forward to have a much better menu option in the future. The food is good overall but the menu is limited to certain items. I recommend this place to be added to anyone's list of restaurants in Cambridge.“
“Who would think that a hole in the wall pizza shop serves some of the best Greek food in Watertown. Don't get me wrong. There are some fierce competitors, But Johnnie's definitely holds their own. They also serve, hands-down, the biggest calzone I've ever had.“
“This restaurant is located across the street from Davis Square. It has a simple menu with the main entrees including only Banh Mi and Rice Bowl/Noodle bowls. Wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for traditional Vietnamese food or pho. But all to say, their pork rice noodle bowl was solid with a generous portion of meat and their papaya salad was good as well (not too spicy). This restaurant is definitely Americanized but is a good local place to try out if you’re in Davis Square.“
“Among the wealth of “bowl” places in HSq, Cava is undoubtedly the fav. Their selection of delicious and convenient Greek inspired bowls have kept this grad student running on many late nights, and their staff are so sweet it’s usually with a smile. Among the staff I especially want to give my appreciation to Mike for the great banter and service :)“
“Had a great experience with my two little boys today. I ordered a chicken parm calzone and they made it a little bigger so we could all have enough. They also gave me advice on where to park so I wouldn't get an awful parking ticket! Super friendly place with satisfying food.“

“Life Alive is part of a plant based dining chain focused on nutrient dense dishes and seasonal ingredients. Each dish feels super healthy yet delicious and doesn't leave me feeling heavy after eating it. There is a nice variety of flavors available on the menu and the only item I've tried and not liked is the acai bowl. Prices are a bit high but I'll definitely be back in the near future.“
“We've been in Waltham for nearly 6 years snd there are some good pizza spots around, ordered from Square MFG for something different and GOOOODNESS did they deliver. Their pepperoni pizza is hands down one of thee best pizza slices I've had in the last 22 years living in MA. I had it for dinner last night and I'm trying to convince myself that I shouldn't order it again tonight. It was so incredibly flavorful its hard to put into words. I would absolutely highly recommend it and will definitely be ordering again.“
“Upon entering, you're greeted by a welcoming atmosphere and an inviting fresh salad bar, offering a wide selection of items. While I initially had to wait to place my order for something hot to complement my meal, a staff member soon noticed me and took my order. I filled my plate from the salad bar and received my order, which included two orders of fries, two salads, and a hot sandwich. The wait to pay was brief, and I found the price quite reasonable for lunch for two, totaling around $40. Based on this pleasant experience, I'll definitely be returning“
“I drive all the way to Newton from the North Shore to get this pizza! It’s a slice of heaven! The staff are very friendly and genuinely good people. Nick is the owner-so nice to chat with and Ashley is one of the workers who makes me feel like I am the Top costumer!The absolute BEST!10 out of 10“
“Pizza tasted good. I chose one that ended up kind of too watery for my liking though. The kind of mozzarella cheese I chose is really wet and it was the reason for the pizza being watery. The crust was really good though it was my favorite part. The balsamic glaze as an ending topper was also delicious. Definitely can recommend it.“
“Amazing steak subs!! I’m sure the other menu offerings are just as good, but I can’t bring myself to order anything else because the steak is just too good. The guy at the front is really charming and efficient, It’s a very small walk in place , no indoor seating. Outdoor seating seasonally. Go there!!“
“The first time I ordered from here, I didn't like it because I ordered 2 bowls and they had diff portion size and all the toppings weren't there. However, I gave them another chance and since then, this is my go to poke place! Large portions now and the ingredients are fresh.There are chairs and table inside and outside if you want to eat there.“
“Nestled in the heart of the city, the New England Soup Factory is a culinary haven for soup enthusiasts. With a rotating menu of hearty and flavorful soups, each bowl is a comforting journey through New England's culinary landscape. From classic clam chowder to inventive vegetarian options, there's something to satisfy every palate. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make it the perfect spot to warm up on a chilly day or enjoy a nourishing meal any time of year. Whether you're dining in or taking out, the New England Soup Factory promises a delicious and satisfying experience that keeps customers coming back for more.“
“Everything was very fresh. But I was extremely disappointed ? 1 - they didn't put spicy salmon in the bowl, only regular, 2 - there was no flavor on the side. There was no rush of the staff - there was only one customer in the cafe and there was only my order for takeaway. How can you forget two ingredients in one order - I sincerely don't understand. Because of this, the feeling from the whole dish remained sad. There was no time to go back when I discovered the flaws. That's the sad experience I had today. The staff was friendly. I have no complaints about that.“
“I can't complain about the price for the portion, one time I was able to make a gyro basket dinner, breakfast and then lunch. Personally I think the beef gyro is better than the chicken gyro but that's just because the chicken cubes are a little big.“
