“Wonderful hospitality! Just want to give Leslie a shout out for being so kind in recommending food over the phone! She was so patient and gave me such great advice. Her kindness and expertise are so appreciated. I'll report back about the food after we eat.“
“Excellent service w a knowledgeable server for wines. The food was uniformly delicious and inventive. Honestly we had so many dishes from duck kabob to cabbage Caesar salad to crunchy tuna tartare one better than the next. Fun atmosphere w easy parking. We'll be back!“
“This is exactly what you want for a takeout Turkish place with a dine-in option. The plates are huge and the food is delicious. (Pictured is the shawarma plate.) The "mixed grill" plate is really for 2 people, I promise. Loved this place.“
“I needed appetizers for a family get together, with the recommendation of the owner, I got a few dips, pita bread and cheese. My guests loved the mouhamra dip, the baba ganoush, the humus, , the beet dip and especially the yogurt . At the restaurant, we enjoyed the cheese bread baked that morning. If you like your baklava with pistachio, that’s the place to buy it. Loved everything and the service was superior.“
“Go for: The best food in the Boston Public Market, hands down.Avoid if: You didn't bring your appetite.Something surprising: One order was honestly enough for two meals/people - a great value.Reservation needed? No, counter service only.Overall . Absolutely delicious North African fusion cuisine. It's fast and hits the mark every time. If you've never had this type of food before, try it. North African and Middle Eastern food is truly the best in the world. The only recommended improvement is having a couple additional sides or entrees to choose from, but it's hard to keep inventory in such a small space. The chickpeas are good but they're just too filling - it'd be great to halve the portion of chickpeas and introduce another small side to complement them.Value for Price: 5Sanitation: 5Food Quality: 4Menu Precision: 4Service Quality: 4Timing: 5Decor: 3Access: 4—5 among the best4 strong3 not too bad2 mediocre1 never again“
“What a hidden gem! Falafel Mom is a refreshing authentic Lebanese spin on Mediterranean cuisine and thankfully not mall quality.Highly recommend, especially given the service and fresh food quality. Family owned with the sweetest mother daughter team, and every time we drop by they always make it a point to put a smile on my little daughter’s face. Simply said they seem like great people.There are a number authentic Lebanese dishes I have not heard of and cannot wait to try! If they upgrade locations one day to a busier location like north shore mall, or a sit down location with food quality and service like this they will be hit.Stop by you will not be disappointed!“
“This best spot for date night and hosting out of town guests! We absolutely love this place and never get tired of coming for dinner. They always have amazing specials and the staff is always so friendly. The first time we came here we had just moved back from the west coast and we left feeling like family. Everything from the apps, wine, and homemade pasta dishes are great. I love their bolognese personally and my husband is a huge fan of chicken parm. Highly recommend checking Euno out next time you’re in the north end.“
“Good food quality/price ratio…. Simple but very tasty food and I really enjoy it. Portions are not very big so you may need to order more small plates. Good wine list but limited. The place is very small and crowded, so this is not the place you wanna have a private date. Limited numbers of table and bar seating is very uncomfortable (very bad stools). Price is reasonable…. Definitely I will go back again (with a table though).“
“The food was absolutely delicious. Well flavored and very fresh. It was a very quiet Sunday so it's hard to judge how noisy it would be, but the service was attentive, and atmosphere light and airy. I'd definitely go back, even though it's a half hour drive for me to get there .“
“Empty on a rainy Tuesday night. Had the revithokeftedes, Greek meatballs, moussaka and baklava. The apps and mains were perfect, the service fantastic, dessert a bit dry. Nice room, white table cloths, central bar. Parking on the street in front. A couple came and ordered from the bar. Many take out orders picked up or ready for delivery. Reasonable cost, great portions, authentic flavors. Go here.“
“Nice place near Tufts. Really good food, they recently added zucchini pasta for gluten free.When my wife and I want a really good, but not to fancy meal we get this.Parking: The system is really easy. You park your car and then sign it in at the restaurant through an app!“
“Excellent, food, drinks and service in a relaxing and prettt atmosphere. Servers and bartender there went above and beyond to make it a great experience. We ordered tomato soup, seared scallops, pasta Alfredo with broccoli and a brownie with ice cream for dessert. Delicious. The martinis and wine list were also perfectLoved this spot. We will be back again!“
“This restaurant is a really good place to go to for authentic Egyptian food. Everything I ordered was well spiced and tasted delicious. The garlic sauce blew me away. The service was great and all the food was cooked right after I ordered. All the food is made right there, so the quality is incredible and everything is very fresh. Hoping to go back soon!“
“We had a great time as usual at Ithaki. The food,service, and atmosphere was great. Our server Juliana was very nice and attentive. She was knowledgeable of the menu and helpful. One of our guests spilled food on her blouse. Juliana was able to help clean the shirt with soda ware and a cloth. We went the appetizer and small plate menu and skipped entrees. We also had coffee and dessert. The bill was under 300. The lollipop lanb chops, short rib, and octopus were delicious. The Caesar salad special was also very good. Including presentation. Overall, we were content and will return. The food and service were top notch.“
“This place was recommended to me by a close friend to try, so I made a point to drop by today, and I'm extremely glad I made that choice.Oftentimes when I have a wrap, I usually don't think much of it, it doesn't remind me of what I've had in Paris or in Montreal, referring to the Shawarma trucks.When I came inside, I asked the gentleman behind the counter what is a popular recommendation, what meat choice is fresh and so forth.The chicken shawarma was recommended, as a wrap, that wasn't my first choice I was thinking in my head but I wanted to go with what they were suggesting, and I'm glad that I did. They told me that it would be pretty garlicky and if I was okay with that, and optionally there are onions that he would add too, and I said give me everything.I added a side of hummus as well, which came with pita bread, as I usually like to try people's hummus when I can.I sat down, small cafe like environment, with some great looking hand-painted murals of Aleppo and Armenia, which I did learn it was by local artist which made me really excited. Lunch time, weekday, not crowded, got lucky on the parking.I first got my hummus served first, it was a delight, and I specially love the thin pita bread, that was tender and fresh not hard like a old piece of sunbaked cardboard.While sipping my diet coke, I got lost in the painting in front of me which was a village in armenia, completely mesmerizing in terms of energy.Moments later my wrap was served, and I was excited, because it wasn't the big hard pita bread wrap that I often times see here in the east coast, at least in the Greater Boston area, and it was tightly wrapped, what I mean is it was condensed and tight, not loose and airy, as those loose and airy wraps I often times get falls apart in my hands and pretty much it's a poor eating experience.And I'm glad I got the onions, it's pretty much my first rap that I've eaten here in the Greater Boston area that really sung a wonderful song in my heart, from a foodie to a foodie, this isn't your regular chicken shawarma wrap. It actually didn't remind me of what I usually think of chicken from would taste like, which oftentimes carry the traditional American trappings of iceberg lettuce, and common and mundane ingredients.This had ingredients that I am not natively familiar with, I don't know if it's sumac or a mysterious sauce I haven't tried yet but the onions and the other vegetable like ingredients which I should have paid attention to, a very bright contrasting backdrop against the chicken, which was amazing in its own right, although I'm not a chicken guy, the whole collective eating experience was new to me at least here in america. And dare I say, unlike a meat wrap with veggies that oftentimes boring wraps are, this had the feeling of a medicinal quality, and a feeling of the food temperatures like hot and colds, that often times European cultures in folk, as well as Chinese cultures. Exciting ingredient play that works off of each other that were both sublime, with a deceptive front pallet attack. The garlic oil which the gentleman described was, simply a lot of garlic, really is yet another level of wrap of the whole food experience.tldr; an exciting gem of a place in which my wrap experience superseded anything I've had here in New England thus far.Vegetarian options: They had a lot of other vegetable options, not sure about vegan, but I'm sure you're familiar with what those might be such as falafel, and vegetable wraps, I believe there are also salads too, not to diminish the vegetarian world's experience.“
“Food was absolutely delicious! Paul the owner is hands on with suggestions. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine in the North Shore. Paolo's is the real deal. You won't be disappointed, and the portions are generous to say the least.“
“The food is delicious!! The staff is always friendly. I definitely recommend this place if you enjoy Mediterranean as I do.Vegetarian options: You can ask for vegetarian options.Parking: The restaurant is outside a bus stop, but there is 2 hour parking.Kid-friendliness: The staff are so kind and caring.Wheelchair accessibility: Your able to get inside the restaurant with ease.“
“This is a true definition of a "Hidden Gem"!!!!Had a private Birthday Party for 30 people and Chef Misha and his staff truly made it "Special" with amazing food, very "home away home" atmosphere and fantastic attention to every detail!!!Thank you Misha and many years of growth and success!“
“A nice spot for date night in Woburn! Came here Saturday 8pm and we were seated right away. The decorations were very cozy, and I really enjoyed the jazzy acoustic music they were playing in the background. We got 6 dishes, but our favorites were the Chuletas De Cordero (grilled lamb chops with mint yogurt and Tximitxurri), Pisto Manchego (ratatouille), and Solomillo De Ternera y Queso Cabrales (beef tenderloin with blue cheese, caramelized onions, toasted crostini). The grilled lamb chops were wonderful but I personally wasn't a fan of the dill sauce so I'd eat it without it. The ratatouille is a must, strong tomato flavor with a wonton style chip. And the beef steak/tenderloin comes with blue cheese and onions on a small flank of bread.“
“Superiorly delicious, healthy, and reasonably priced is how I would describe the food at My Other Kitchen most concisely. Their Greek salad with chicken souvlaki is addictively good - it goes great with George's pita bread. Their hamburger tastes better than any burger I have had elsewhere, even at much higher prices! I highly recommend this place for takeout, but they also have limited seating inside and bigger tables outside in the warmer months.“
“Food is made fresh and portions are very good and prices fair. They used to use more seasoning and spices but the food is quite bland now. That said the quality of the ingredients are good. We had felafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, zereshk rice, chicken koobideh kabob wrap, grape leaves, fries, tabouli.“
“Beautiful fresh awesome quality and presentation!!! The rice pilaf is fluffy and seasoned- the golden French fries have a touch of salt- mouth watering- everything is beyond fresh. I drive from Newton and was so deeply satisfied! Cauliflower sandwich is great too! I’m in love with the beef and lamb shawarma plate! Everything is made with love and made to order!!! You won’t regret, I wish I tried it sooner- the roasted eggplant salad appetizer is wicked good.“
“As there are not nany great Greek restaurants in the area, this place has the best Greek food hands down. Good portions. Fair prices. Place is small with only a handful of tables. But comfortable enough. Lamb Shish Kebabs plate is delicious. Two nice size grilled skewers of lamb with tomatoes, onions and green peppers, served with Greek roasted potatoes, Greek salad and pita. Delicious!“
“I was so pleasantly surprised to find this hidden gem! The food is outstanding, the place is spotless and bright, and the service was welcoming and cheerful!Natalie suggested I get boomin beef rendang- and boy was that the best suggestion I've had all day. The beef was melting in my mouth, the spices were never like I've had before- so aromatic and melding incredibly well with the braised beef, potatoes, and rice. And to top it off this dish is both gluten free and dairy free! I'm bringing my son back tonight to get dinner! The prices are more than ok, and Natalie was so helpful and sweet, and on point, that I feel like I made a friend as well! Awesome stuff Flavor-Boom!!!!Go see this place! It's right on Arsenal st halfway to Target!“
“An absolute gem of a restaurant! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The food was not only fresh and bursting with flavor but also showcased the richness of the culture it represents. The lively atmosphere added to the overall experience, making it a memorable dining outing. The owner’s attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our satisfaction were truly commendable. You’re guaranteed to feel welcomed and exceptionally well-treated here. Highly recommend for anyone seeking great vibes and delicious food!“
“Upon entering, the aroma of exotic spices and freshly baked bread wafts through the air, awakening your senses and igniting your appetite. The décor is a fusion of modern elegance and traditional charm, with intricately designed carpets adorning the floors and soft, ambient lighting casting a golden glow over the space.But it is the menu that truly steals the show. Bursting with an array of authentic Middle Eastern dishes, each offering is a masterpiece crafted with precision and passion. Begin your culinary adventure with an assortment of mezes, from creamy hummus and smoky baba ghanoush to crispy falafel and tangy tabbouleh, each bite bursting with flavor and freshness. For the main course, prepare to be transported to the streets of Beirut or the markets of Marrakech with an array of mouthwatering options. Indulge in tender lamb kebabs, succulent shawarma, or fragrant tagines, each dish a symphony of spices and textures that dance on your palate. No Middle Eastern feast would be complete without a sweet finale, and DARNA certainly delivers on that front. From decadent kunafa dripping with honey and nuts to creamy, rose-scented rice pudding, each dessert is a celebration of indulgence and tradition.“
“Great little pizza shop. I got their Chicken Alfredo pizza (alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, grilled chicken, and broccoli). It was delicious! I got the large 16” and paid around $20ish. They were generous with chicken and broccoli.The crust wasn’t too thin and crunchy neither too stuffed and sloppy. I liked the pizza taste. The lady behind the register was super nice and friendly. It really felt like a local shop with solid interior design. The shop was clean overall and the restrooms were clean as well. You may need the passcode to use the restroom. They have street parking so it may be difficult to find a spot nearby. I was able to find one near the shop.Plus, they have halal meat on request! Great plus for halal folks! Definitely try them outVegetarian options: Not sure tbh.Dietary restrictions: Alfredo sauce has dairy. I didn’t see any non dairy options for pizzaParking: Free street parking so it is somewhat difficult to find one.Kid-friendliness: Yes it is!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes they are wheelchair accessible“
“I have been going to Mirage for years, and last week was my first time after the big renovation. The owners redid the whole place, the kitchen, dining room, THE POOL!!, lights and everything. the place is amazing and fun. these days there just arn't any good places that give you what your moneys worth, but Mirage has definatly stepped up its game. 5 stars all the way“
“I stopped in for a quick take away smoothie which turned into also getting a sandwich! They are def a quality shop. Lot of other reviews comment on the price, which is why you get what you pay for. I got the chocolate smoothie which was delicious, the worker in there explained they use natural ingredients, etc and it tasted pure. I dropped it accidentally and they made a new one quickly and would not let me help clean. Very great service! The chicken shawarma sandwich was a special and it was so good. They are very kind and great quality food. I wish they did more advertising!“
