“What an amazing restaurant in the most ideal location in Lowell. Today was my first time having entered the beautiful location and had take out. I can without a doubt state that my husband and I will be coming in and be patrons because of the friendly service, unique style, and most definitely the fresh ingredients used in their menu. Thank you for helping me on a stressful day and so happy I finally came in!”

“Went here for the for the first time and everything was amazing the food and the customer service ! Everything was cooked perfectly, the lady who rang me was the sweetest I definitely recommend this place.”

“If you really want a delicious breakfast, dont wait any longer. This is the place you have been waiting for. Food is better than a fancy breakfast place, and prices are unbeatable”

“First visit today, the bread is amazing!!! Love it❤”

“Easy parking across the street, food was good and lots of history inside you can almost feel the past when looking around.
Just needs a little more lighting, brighten the place up...”

“Great service food was great the lady I talked to is so kind”

“Wonderful venue to enjoy great food and drinks, local music and a warm chill vibe. The bar staff and waitstaff are very friendly and attentive to your needs.”

“I've been coming here for over 10 years and it still is the best Colombian food around. The empanadas are so delicious and you can order them in bulk for a party and they will always be a crowd pleaser! Good for takeout or enjoy in the restaurant.”

“So delish!! Nice and toasty seating, friendly, and just yummy! 5 stars”

“very yummy food. Excellent service!”

“Not a big fan of the chicken teriyaki sticks. They're more of a maple brown sugar flavor... Overall, good food. Good portions. Flavorful rice. Tastes like homemade sweet & sour sauce. Average price for today's economy...”

“Excellent service an food was amazing”

“This place isn’t really sit down and dine, more of a takeout spot. I recommend getting the order D8; it’s a plate with great amount of portions they really don't leave out! Everything tasted amazing and so full of flavor I’m glad I ate here. The price for a meal that actually fills me up which taste bomb is everything I could ask for in Chinese food.”

“Big thanks to the service by the two women who stopped a fraudulent order from my hacked Grubhub account and then also processed the refund after Grubhub initially wouldn't. Glad I called you before you started the order! Also, if the manager or someone would like to message me, I would like to Venmo them each a tip for their help. Saved me $56. Just mention Nick from Wisconsin and they'll probably remember it. Next time I'm in the Boston of Nashua area I'll have to stop by!”

“You can never go wrong from there subs to there chicken Alfredo pizza 🔥🔥”

“One of the very few Dunkins that get your order correct”

“Amazing service great workers”

“I love your store and I congratulate you for your service”

“Very nice fast food place. It's the place to go when you just don't feel like cooking gets you really full and all set. The wait is not long at all and very nice overral.”

“I wasn't feeling good the day I stopped and got breakfast. The same as they made was on point. I went through the drive-thru, but it was clean on the outside and in the parking lot. Which is a surprise for Lowell.”

“Still think the Whopper is the best. Wish Y'all would bring back the "crinkle cut" fries. Thinking Y'all should put a little more effort into the crispy, fresh, hot of the "potato products". Do appreciate the halfsies.”

“Having been to Cambodia a couple times, I like Khmer food and it’s not always easy to find. I was in Lowell for an appointment and seeing how many Cambodian restaurants there were in the area, I picked this spot for lunch. The food was so delicious - I had the combination stuffed chicken wing and beef sausage, which came with a nice bowl of herbal chicken soup, pickled veggies and rice. It’s a small, hole in the wall restaurant run by a nice family and it’s reasonably priced. I’ll definitely come back.”

“Ived Missed Having Bootmills From Arthurs Diner. I stopped by with my little one yesterday it brought back many Great Memories from when I was young. We Ordered the guys working there where really nice,food was good as always. Thank ”

“The smokiness of the Mango Fried Rice is wonderful, snd the fermented pork salad is divine! Always great flavors!”

“Looking for a chipper & a couple Guinness, you found the place. Nice staff and doing great before a hockey game at Tsongas on a Saturday afternoon. Talking to a couple folks who go there often they all love it.
Later College crowd, so if that energy is good you are in the right place.”

“Used to live right off of Gorham street and would have Georges weekly! Miss it! Go out of our way to get take out there now. Great customer service always and friendly staff. Everything is delicious from the steak or chicken kebab dinners that rice with the red sauce, to the steak and cheese subs.. seriously THE BEST!”

“this was my favorite place before and cant wait to get back. just found out open again.”

“One of the best salads around. Greek salad with a scoop of their delicious tuna is my favorite. Always fresh and crunchy. Excellent service with a smile every time.”

“Two years ago I switched my allegiance from Haute Coffee in Concord, MA to Nibbana Cafe in Lowell. While the coffee at Haute is indeed very good (Counter Culture beans, not local), I find the staff there a bit impersonal. Seating is also quite limited. Nibbana has equally good coffee (if not better, which is really saying something), provided by Tiny Arms, a local roaster. There is plenty of seating and parking at their location at Western Avenue Studios. The coffee is generally light-to-medium roast and they offer an array of interesting, unusual coffee drinks (I only drink espresso, straight, so I can't comment on those). At the time of this review, they have been cranking out lots of new food items. The staff is extremely friendly, always offering a welcoming smile and an enthusiastic "Enjoy!" when I pick up my order. The owners truly live by what Buddhists call "right living". They are very community-focused, and it shows. If you haven't checked out Nibbana, you're really missing out on a special place.”

“Ordered the Time Out Club and Time Bomb paninis. It was delicious and will definitely order again. Can't believe I've been overlooking this place! Looking forward to trying other items soon 😋”

“Lo mejor en el área no dudes de ir”

“delicious fried chicken 👍👍👍”

“My husband and I tried out this restaurant and were very happy we did. The food was exceptional, service was great, and we enjoyed the atmosphere. We will definitely be going back.”

“Great cheese steak and pizza!!”

“Have always enjoyed our trips to the IV Seasons. Haddock is excellant as is their beef pot roast, (2 of my favorites! Comfy atmosphere, great wait staff !”

“The service is prompt, courteous, and attentive! The drinks are creative and presented well. The food? You MUST go there to experience the amazing profile and range of flavors in these dishes. From the appetizers, to the entrees, and even the desserts, you will be blown away! The $1 oysters (Blue Point, Hello?) are freshly shucked and served with chontaduro sauce (native Colombian fruit) that is sweet, tart, spicy, and VERY addictive. The menu changes seasonally, which always makes me wonder what tantalizing dishes the chef will come up with next! The patacones, empanadas, and chicken wings (sweet or SPICY) are always top notch. The SPICY wings, in particular, are the BEST I've ever had, and I've had plenty! A special shout out to any dish featuring pork belly. The way it's prepared (crispy but not burned) makes it a welcome component in any entree or appetizer, whether it's the star ingredient or a supporting role. Finally, a special request for the chef: PLEASE bring back the baby back ribs (with the AMAZING Panela syrup)! Panela, in my opinion, is THE go-to restaurant in Lowell for anyone looking for a unique tasting experience, as well as top notch service.”

“Haven’t been here for 20 years and wanted to try it again. Wonderful experience. Friendly staff and Gino our server was great. Food was excellent .Mom and I each had the lamb garnish -highly recommend. Definitely coming back.”

“what a great experience,great food and drinks.”

“We got 2 large platters (one hot and one raw) for 4 adults. WoW. That was a lot of food. The presentation was beautiful, one on a boat and the other on a bridge. The pieces were huge and very fresh. A lot of different combinations to try. The waitstaff was so nice. Highly recommend!”

“great cook to order food. friendly atmosphere toys games and coloring books for the kids if it's not on the menu ask they may have it.”

“It's an institution in Lowell. I grew up in Lowell and when I go back its one of favorite places to go. Its so hard to find these great old school places. Stop by and support them, you won't regret it!”

“Very quaint and comfortable atmosphere. The food and drinks are fantastic . The inside is very nice and the staff are impeccable people. Great place to get out and relax for a bit no pressure pure bliss!”

“Paneer Tikka Pizza – Pure Bliss!
This pizza is an absolute flavour bomb! The smoky, tender paneer tikka pairs perfectly with gooey cheese, a tangy sauce, and a well done crust. It’s bold, comforting, and unforgettable. Easily a 5-star bite of heaven!”

“Met some friends there today and turns out it's a great spot to sit and chat. Food was excellent - had an avocado toast caprese style. And a nice hot tea. Service was excellent even though it was really busy. The woman who worked the counter had a nice positive friendly attitude throughout our time there. The staff helped me out of a jam when I left something there - they went above and beyond for me. Many thanks - love this place! ⭐️”

“Tried the egg rolls and the Mee Kha Thang with gravy. Pretty good. Going to have to try another dish!”

“Great bakery...amazing pastry and coffee! Highly recommended!”

“Excellent food! Great Service!”

“love love love their soft,sweet,huge pillows of love that they call "vanilla cream filled donut" 😋🍩 the fruity pebbles donut is texturally amazing on top of the sweet creamy love pillow 😂 thanks guys for keeping this girl chunky ❣️ 🤣”

“Its not Indian...not sure why website has it as one smh”

“I had the BEST iced coffee butter latte yesterday. Nice vibe, didn't feel rushed at all. I will definitely be back.”

“delicious all day and night breakfast!”

“love it here. great beer, vibe, food trucks.... and even my dog & kids love it here. Wish they had seltzer more often so I could entice my wife to join me.”

“Oh my! We asked our front desk clerk at our hotel , Sonesta Select, for a good place to eat. Before I could finish the sentence she told me Cameo Diner. Holy Smokes! I am so very glad I asked! Wonderful food, excellent service, fair prices, quintessential Boston. It’s really is like Cheers! Everyone knew everyone and made you feel like they knew you, as well! If you are in Lowell, do yourself a favor and eat here! We had breakfast and like I said absolutely amazing place to eat.”

“Rizzo’s is my go to place for takeout. They have a wide variety to choose from. Their food is very good, and the delivery service is fast and friendly. The last couple of times,I got a surprise with my orders. The piece of chocolate cake this time was very much appreciated. Love Rizzo’s.”

“Love their pizza !! Their grilled chicken greek salad is awesome !”

“Yummy Green Goddess Grain bowl and iced ocean blue latte followed by a Mexican hot chocolate latte for dessert. Love the vibe. Love the food. Please please open a cafe in Rhode Island, preferably in Newport or Middletown. :) See you again soon!”

“Overall good but portion could be bigger and the pork intestine was too fried, was it because it’s not fresh anymore and trying to hide it? Anyways it was ok overall”

“Ma Cuisine is the real deal authentic French food made with serious care and passion. Everything is crafted with care, and you can tell the owner truly puts his heart and time into it. Whether it’s a perfect baguette sandwich, fresh pâté, or something you’ve never tried before, it’s always top quality.

It’s not your typical grab-and-go place it feels like you’re taking home something special. The flavors, the presentation, even the vibe when you walk in everything about it is thoughtful and real. Can’t recommend it enough.”

“I must say, I was on a sushi binge that week and Sian takes the cake! The portions were good for me, as well as the price. There's a bit of a wait time because she was the only person working when I was there. There's no Coke products, but there's a market next door if you really need it. I went with Thai Tea. The tables have packets of soy sauce instead of bottles.

Piang's Special is my current favorite because it was surprisingly refreshing and you can feel every cool bite of crab meat in it. Huge fan of salmon, so I went with the Salmon Rainbow. Nothing much to write about, but did have a little trouble keeping the bottom from breaking apart. Also, I LOVE the very generous portion of ginger, but should ease up on the wasabi. Maybe a squirt on each plate and more upon request? It was fun seeing how much I could handle (3/4). She also gave me eel sauce and mayo on the side, but more than enough on the dishes, so I didn't partake. Really appreciate a decent sushi spot within walking distance. The hours varies, but if I see it opened, I'm popping in again!”

“I highly recommend Going to this place to try their food, especially their seafood.Absolutely amazing you won't be disappointed.It's worth the trip”

“Ordered pizza here for the first time. I was craving for a cheesy pizza and I got the 4 cheese toppings. It was so good and cheesy and flavorful. My kid and nephew enjoyed them too. The dessert pizza w the nutella and strawberries was delicious. We’ll be back again. Much better than all the pizzas nearby. It’s a but pricy but worth it.”

Their prices for the quantity of food offered are quite reasonable and consistently tasty. The store is well-stocked with the essentials typically found in most shops, and I must emphasize how welcoming the staff is every single time I visit. If you have the opportunity to visit and experience this hidden gem, you will surely be pleased.”

“Wings and spring rolls were delicious. Best wings I've ever had. No prices on menu, only photos of dishes. Asked ahead of ordering. Overcharged by $12. Mentioned and a portion of charge removed. Too lazy to argue any further. Will go back, but making sure of prices by asking wait staff to write it down.”

“The very BEST California Benny ever!!!”

“Must commend Avni for the excellent service provided by her.”

“I never comment or post about a restaurant, however since eating here I cannot stop thinking about it. Friendly staff, amazing drinks, and live music that was good and not so loud you couldn’t hear the staff or other members in your party speaking. The jerk chicken alone is enough of a reason to visit this place. I highly recommend Sahel to anyone, even if it’s just for drinks and an appetizer.”

“We got 2 large platters (one hot and one raw) for 4 adults. WoW. That was a lot of food. The presentation was beautiful, one on a boat and the other on a bridge. The pieces were huge and very fresh. A lot of different combinations to try. The waitstaff was so nice. Highly recommend!”

“Big thanks to the service by the two women who stopped a fraudulent order from my hacked Grubhub account and then also processed the refund after Grubhub initially wouldn't.

“This place is one of the best authentic Chinese food places in Lowell. They have a variety of food options, the owner works very hard and is very kind. 10/10 will be back.”

“Nothing stood out from my experience, which is expected for a Chinese buffet.

The place is brightly lit. Despite being packed on a Sunday, it did not feel too crowded with just enough space between tables.

The service was ok. Even though I had to ask for my water refills every time but they were coming back and forth frequently so it was not an issue for me.

The food has hits and misses. The pepper shrimp and the pork cutlets were highlights. The crawfishes were big but had no taste at all. Other dishes were mediocre.

Be aware that they automatically add a 15% tip even though it was only me dining. I always tip 20% at least but because they gave themselves tips without permission I just left it that way. Will probably come back if I’m bored with places closer to me.”

“You have to try this place. Very tasty food. Freshly prepared Extra generous portions of meat, huge portion size. Not from the area, but worth the ride. Will be ordering more for sure”

“The best fried crispy chicken ever and their fried rice OMG sooo good I would recommend.. !!!”

“prompt service, clean & great steak tips”

“I had the hot Cheetos rice dog and my 11 year daughter and niece each had a rice dog. Yummy. We also purchased 6 different flavors of mochi donuts. So good. The kids can not wait to go back . Definitely worth the 30 minute drive each way.”

“The food is delicious, and the staff are friendly and professional!!!

Vegetarian options: A few options, but I’m not vegetarian so I don’t pay much attention to that

Kid-friendliness: Not much to say other than it seems like a kid friendly restaurant”
