Restaurants in Waltham

“It was my first time here and I absolutely loved it! 🌮✨ We had enchiladas and horchata, and everything was delicious. The prices are very reasonable, and the service is beyond amazing. The staff is so kind, friendly, and attentive.
The best part was when they found out it was my friend’s birthday and surprised us by celebrating with a Mexican song 🎶🎉 It was such a special and unforgettable moment. They really made us feel valued. This place is now one of my favorites. Highly recommended! 💚”

“Fabulous food, especially if you have a sweet tooth. Always have around 10 specials. They also have creative give aways/promotions a few times a year. The owner and staff are very friendly. Today Susan waited on me and she was quick and very nice.”

“I had the BEST experience here! Morad George was so friendly it felt like I knew him for years! The food is always fresh and delicious. I would recommend this location and return all because of Morad George!”

“Taco 🌮 Pastor, grilled habanero salsa and a Modelo draft 🍻 for lunch.”

“Everything was great! Service and food was excellent!”

“Excellent high end meal in Waltham. The mushroom souffle is a signature dish with great sauce. The Tuscan kale ceasar salad is likely the best kale salad I have ever had. The chicken schnitzel main is a bomb of flavor. Strong, attentive service from the staff.”

“Delicious food and excellent service!!”

“Beautiful interior and food was amazing. The staff and bartenders were very attentive as well.”

“So good! The staff is really friendly and the food was so good. I got the Lychee Bayberry Sago Nectar which was delicious I highly recommend! Will be coming here again :)”

“I had an amazing experience at this bakery! I bought the Dubai chewy cookies with cheese and monuts, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced.

What really stood out was the staff — they were incredibly kind and patient, explaining every single product in detail and helping me choose. You can really feel the passion and care behind both the service and the baked goods.

I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place!”

“Yesterday was the first time we tried the pizza at Pizzeria Enzina...Wow... and we are so glad we did. My husband and son ordered a calmelized onion and red pepper version and I tried the vegan veggie pizza. We were thrilled at how delicious each slice was and we loved everything, from the taste of the dough to the generous amount of toppings and how incredible the vegan cheese on mine tasted so amazing...yes my husband and son both swiped slices of mine... it was that good. So happy we found you Enzina....my new favorite ....can't wait to try other dishes and the canoli too!!! We are so grateful for such a wonderful meal!!”

“Great food, friendly atmosphere. Veggie Enchiladas and Blood orange margarita…highly recommend!”

“My family has been going to Little India for years now and it’s been a staple for us. We would always go here around Thanksgiving/Winter Break season growing up. The food and staff are amazing. Everything on the menu is good and the buffet is amazing. We always tend to get the chicken tikka masala, sag paneer but most recently we went and got the fish pakoras and fish masala and it’s become a new favorite. Please, please, please keep this place alive and well. It’s worth a spot checking out.”

“Love their dosa and chole bhature !!!!”

“This was our first visit. The restaurant has plenty of natural light, space and free parking in back. Our meals were delicious and the portions are very generous! I especially enjoyed the peach panzanela salad and chicken marsala. The service was on point. We will be back!”

“I have been nothing but happy with my ordering from AK's. The delivery charge is minimal and the delivery is super quick. Even when I order around lunch time, with the order tracker, I can see it leave the restaurant promptly. Each delivery driver has been very friendly. I am in love with the soup of the day! Worth it, all around!”

“Very busy Saturday night service at the Moody Street Waltham location but the waitress, bartender and kitchen timed everything perfectly. Loved the ginger mojito and Hemingway Daiquiri. Table a shared Squash blossom salad, beef empanadas, pork tacos and lamb chops. Salad, empanadas and tacos stood out. Pan roasted chicken dish was fantastic and other family/friends raved about the bass and yuca fries didn't disappoint. We split the churros and loved them too. Easy parking behind building (free after 6pm). We will return :-)”

“The service and the food is amazing. I highly recommend it.”

“Went in for my birthday dinner. Service was great and the food was fantastic. Will definitely be back again.”

“Excellent nachos, came back just for them!”

“Honestly the alcohol/drinks are really good here but there were waaaay too many children running around when I went. At least 6-8 kids, I’m not sure why people are bringing children to a place where people are getting drunk, but it definitely ruined the atmosphere”

“I remember going there as a kid and getting there warn French bread, square pizza, lemon squares, and raspberry turnovers! Family treated you like family!”

“This place is wonderful!!! Great food, and decor. Even the Ladies bathroom is chill. Shout out to Sam our server who was so cool! Definitely coming back :)”

“The food and service were wonderful, highly recommend it! however the guy who was the receptionist/host there did NOT welcome us and was very rude when asking for the name on my reservation. he did not apologise for his behaviour even when I pointed it out politely that his tone was not good.”

“Simulators are legit and it feels like you are outside playing on the actually course you've selected. It's a nice vibe and a great bar to watch games or golf on and the pizza is amazing. (get the sweet heat, it wont disappoint) They also offer leagues and spots for parties/events. If you're looking for a spot to work on your game this winter, grab a beer and watch some sports I highly recommend Birdie Bar!”

“Great food, reasonably priced!”

“Incredibly great food. Superb drinks. We came here for the first time about six weeks ago. Have been back every week! Very varied menu. Everything we have tried has been top
notch. Appetizers are excellent tuna tartare is the best I’ve ever had served with an avocado wasabi cream! . First rate steaks and crispy fries!!! Nightly specials are
fun. Tonight we had the pork Milanese, it was out of this world.
Even the atmosphere,
we prefer the bar side the lighting is perfect and the staff (Amina) are now friends!
Do yourself a favor and get here!!!”

“Loved the food, the service, great place 🙌🏼”

“Delicious, fast service. My husbands childhood spot..”

“Lunch for 4 here on a Tuesday. Two sandwiches, one personal pizza, one Italian dish (pasta alla Norma with eggplant). Everyone enjoyed their meal, though none of the dishes were distinctive. Our waitress was friendly and generally prompt but forgot a few requests, which she promptly rectified when reminded. Our booth was very comfortable and clean. Traditional decor. All in all an agreeable experience.”

“Great food, great service. Classic 1948 stainless steel diner. Convenient onsite parking.”

“Outstanding! Great food and drinks, we are regulars. We took friends from the mid-west, and they said Margaritas was the best Mexican restaurant in the U.S.A.”

“Years ago, when I was a student in Boston, I met Osman in a Turkish restaurant. He was kind, hardworking, and always full of warmth. Seeing him now as the owner of this wonderful Turkish restaurant filled me with pride and gratitude. Osman’s hospitality, generosity, and genuine heart was into every detail of this place, from the warm welcome at the door to the last bite of dessert. And the food is absolutely phenomenal. Every dish has authentic flavors of Turkey, perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented, and made with love. From the tender kebabs to the fresh mezes and perfectly flaky baklava, it was a feast in every sense. You can feel the care and tradition in every bite. This restaurant isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a place to feel at home, to celebrate friendship, and to savor life. Thank you, Osman, for creating such a beautiful space. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️”

“Had another fantastic meal at Tempo last night! Fantastic and perfectly balanced cocktails by our bartender Drew, the best bread with honey butter, delicious scallops and fish tacos. Unfortunately we were too full for dessert!”

“Best pizza in Waltham Crew was efficient and friendly Love papa ginos”

“Enjoyed every bite. Got the veggie Lemongrass Seitan. The music that was playing was soothing and pleasant and Anh and his team were excellent hosts. Will come again!”

“Our first time at Fins Sushi & Grill, and we were truly impressed from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed, and the service was friendly, attentive, and spot-on throughout our visit.

The quality of the sushi really stood out—everything was incredibly fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared. You can truly taste the care and quality in every bite. The menu offers a great variety, whether you’re craving classic rolls, creative specialties, or something hot off the grill, and the portions were generous with prompt service.

Overall, the experience exceeded our expectations. Delicious food, excellent service, and a place we’ll absolutely be returning to. If you’re looking for delicious sushi, great service, and a place you’ll want to come back to again and again, Fins Sushi & Grill is a must-visit. Highly recommend!”

“Extremely friendly service/ Grabbed a coffee and a cranberry-orange muffin today- the muffin reminded me of my grandmother’s recipe- so moist!!! 👍”

“Good matcha and savory croissants are awesome”

“Keep an eye open for this spot. Great atmosphere as you enter. Friendly and attentive staff that still gives you room to breathe. Chicken sandwich is great but next time I need to dig in to one of those burgers.”

“super amables yo les doy un 100”

“I have been going to Grassfields for many years and have been very pleased. The past few times I have been there I ordered the broiled scallops and have been disappointed. The muscle on the scallops are not removed which are very tough to eat. Also I feel they are gritty. I am hoping that someone reads this and corrects the issue because Grassfields is a lovely place.”

“Great owners and food. They aim to please”

“excellent authentic chinese food (not chinese american, actual chinese cuisine), good portion sizes, and quick service even when busy. less expensive than mulan, the only other authentic chinese restaurant in the area. easy to order with the qr code on each table. new favorite restaurant in waltham! favorite dishes: fish fillet with chili, stir fried beef & tomatoes, beef with horn peppers”

“The food here is so good! Highly recommend the Aegean House Platter and the Aegean Combo if it's your first visit. That way you can sample a bunch of things. Also, get the potatoes as your side, they are amazing. I know there are tons of solid options on Moody, but you should definitely add this place into your rotation. You won't regret it!”

“Been here ten+ times! Great matcha & coffee that comes in all sorts of flavors. Good atmosphere for working or spending the day. Clean environment and friendly staff.”

“Excellent ice cream place! Tonight went there for the first time and head black raspberry chip it was really good. The owner is a great guy too talk with him at the register. I highly recommend this place.”

“Love coming here…my favorite sport”

“I would give infinity stars if I could because they certainly make magic happen here! My pizza was delicious and the service was stellar. They even took the time to add a little tape to properly close the old hot/cold grocery tote I brought with me to keep my pizza hot on the way home.”

“We had a great meal at DaVinci last saturday night. Our server was phenomenal and added so much to our enjoyment. The food was very good. One suggestion cook the pasta a little less. The atmosphere was nice, however, our first table was underneath the heating vent, which was quite robust.Necessitating us to change tables, which in the end worked out great.And was not a problem for the staff. Sadly, I just learned that this restaurant will be closing soon. If you are reading this in the next week or so, get yourself there and have a meal.”

“Went to this restaurant after seeing it featured on Phantom Gourmet and my husband and myself left full of good food. The food was tasty and came to our table ready to eat and the service was great! They gave us everything we needed in a timely manner. The restaurant was on a smaller scale but we got a table pretty quickly without making a reservation. We even had the dessert of the strawberry shaved ice which had a bowl that was big enough to easily feed the two of us and it was very delicious!”

“the best! lunch dinner, great service, highly recommended”

“An impromtu visit to celebrate a work win. Always a fantastic meal, my wife's favorite steak prep method with the butter on her ribeye. The creamed spinach and au gratin potatoes are big faovorites too. Wine and coctails were equally satisfying and very well prepared. Service was very polite and timely but not obtrusive. Never an easy task and usually a challenge keeping our teenager's water glass full and napkin supply sufficient! We'll be back again soon!”

“Found taste house after work one night with my friends, not expecting anything to exceed our expectations but we found our new favorite spot! The scallion pancakes, beef and cabbage dumplings, vegetable dumplings and crab rangoons were some of the best and most fresh I’ve ever had. The drinks were exceptional (we had the lychee martini and a French martini). To top it off, the service was excellent, staff was super sweet and attentive. Highly highly highly recommend taste house”

“I was in the area and stumbled upon this restaurant, was very impressed with the Hainanese Chicken w/ Rice, I added a fried egg. Would definitely recommend trying this out! Food came out very fast and hot!”

“Coffee, deli, & ice cream are all amazing!! Highly recommended!!”

“Annie is the most awesome bartender.she is so personable and helpful it was a great experience in Waltham”

“I recommend anything but the calzones. I’ve ordered food a bunch of times from Franco’s, a few times in person and 3 times via Grubhub. All 3 times I ordered through Grubhub I chose a calzone. The first time the calzone was cooked fantastically, but the last 2 times it was raw dough in the middle where the folds are. The last time I ordered a calzone which happened to be raw in the middle I just threw it away because I didn’t have time to make a complaint. I ordered another calzone tonight hoping it was just a fluke (New cook? Just super busy and overlooked? Whatever, we all make mistakes NBD) since everything else in my order was perfect. When it arrived I checked the calzone and it was raw again. I made the decision to call the restaurant to let them know and to see if I could send it back for something different. The man on the phone told me I was wrong and that he cooked it himself and it wasn’t raw because “he checked”. I told him it most certainly was raw and that I was hoping for an exchange. He said he couldn’t do anything for me and I’d have to call Grubhub about that. He said I’d have to go in person to exchange it. I said “okay fine I guess I’ll call Grubhub” and then he said something I couldn’t understand and hung up on me. I’m really disappointed. I frequent Franco’s for karaoke and spend money at the bar and restaurant often enough to expect a fair exchange and some decent customer service when I need it. I asked for his help and he offered me nothing. Order anything else but the calzones unless you like your dough to be raw, I guess? I HIGHLY recommend the jalapeño poppers though. They’re always perfect and a surprisingly good size.”

“Always tasty food at a reasonable price 😊”

“Good food very nice service”

“Unquestionably the best steak n cheese anywhere. I’ve been to South Philly and tried both Pats and Genos. I’ll take real American cheese over cheez whiz Thank You. Not to mention there is no attitude like the above mentioned”

“Located in an Executive Office complex, Starburst Cafe is a business friendly modern cafe where omelettes and other heated breakfasts are made to order by a chef. After that it's self serve. They DO NOT take cash but they DO take credit cards and mobile payments.”

“Food and drinks are great and owners are friendly (tried the pork buns). Background jazz music reminds me of cafes in Tokyo. Atmosphere is good…some low-top seating or a couch with a coffee table would make me want to come here to meet up with a friend for a quiet chat. Only has hi-top tables with bright lighting which are not as relaxing and comfortable.”

“Enzina did our Thanksgiving pies and they were utterly wonderful (two types of apple and pumpkin)! They were SO good. Also loved the cornettos. Highly recommend!!”
