Restaurants in Waltham

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

“The best Mexican in a hundred-mile radius. The tacos are my favorite, and the team is friendly and professional. The setting fits the street-taco character, but definitely try the plates, tortas, and burritos. I've been a customer for a decade and hope to be for decades more!”

“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.”

“Morad was an amazing cashier and host he was very polite to everyone besides me that came in he had one unruly customer over the phone and he handled everything so well I had the barbecue chicken bacon cheddar cheese with grilled onion light barbecue sauce extra mayo it was so delicious I will definitely come here again just for Morad”

“Il Capriccio always delivers! We had delicious food- some apps, mostly fish mains. Fish was fresh and tasty, apps (tuna tartare, mushroom/polenta, lobster/corn croquette) were slightly different from usual choices elsewhere and again, fresh and good. Cocktails were prepared well and service was attentive. Hadn't been in a while, but glad to see standards continue to remain high.”

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

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

“Best Asian bakery in Waltham! The mochi donuts are so chewy in the most perfect way. Huge variety of flavors. Still working through the other baked goods, but every one I try is a winner! So glad to have this spot in town.”

“Me and my boyfriend came here to have indian food and absolutely loved it. It was my boyfriend’s first time trying dosa and dahi ke kebab and he absolutely loved it. We can’t wait to be back again. We will also bring our friends to this place because the food was absolutely delicious. Totally worth the drive.”

“The cutest little tea shop!!! My friend got the peach matcha and it was scrumptious. I got a bubble mango green tea and it was sooo refreshing on a hot day! We will definitely be back.”

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

“Went here for my birthday. Wasn't cheap, but I got what I paid for. They did have a price fixe menu available for $60, but I went a la carte. Steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection, and the seafood (my meal featured shrimp, crab, and lobster) was all delicious as well. 10/10 would recommend strongly.

We didn't really need the reservations that we'd made, as the place was pretty quiet on a Thursday night. I can't speak for the weekends, though.”

“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!!”

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

“Delicious food and excellent service!!”

“We love Gustazo Cuban Testaurant and their Tapas plates are simply the best! The wait staff was awesome and the food outstanding... but sometimes the noise level can be difficult to navigate even on a Tuesday night ... none the less, this is one of our favorite restaurants. Thank you!”

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

“Excellent nachos, came back just for them!”

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

“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!”

“The price to quality ratio is very good, the only thing better would be the Costco $5 chicken. Lunch specials run $11 or $13 and comes with a bowl of rice.

While other restaurants in general load the meal up with fillers, such as breads, beans or rice, the ratio here is the other way around. There is 2X or 3x of the dish, relative to starch.

Comes with tea, picked vegetables and dry peanuts”

“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!”

“Great food, reasonably priced!”

“We hosted our engagement party here and had such a wonderful experience! From start to finish the team was exceptional. They were organized and very responsive which made it easy to plan. The food was also delicious! Wide variety of options and all kinds of beverage variations so you get something for everyone! Cannot recommend this place enough for your next event, or else just for a nice meal and drinks as they have lots of food options and a great atmosphere!”

“Great spot just off 95. Warm and friendly staff with a great comfort menu. Nice place for a date night.”

“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 :)”

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

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

“Excellent all around”

“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! ❤️”

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

“I stopped in while driving through and was met with the most delicious lemongrass steak bang mi, as well as generous hosts. I was introduced to Vietnamese coffee (with condensed milk) - delish!”

“Foods are delicious. My first experience in this restaurant was great. Tasty and delicious food.”

“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”

“Good matcha and savory croissants are awesome”

“super amables yo les doy un 100”

“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!”

“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.”

“I ordered Tuna tidbit for lunch and I made requests to leave out spicy mayo in spicy tuna maki and add tobiko on top just $2. I really like restaurants that allow customers do some modifications.”

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

“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.”

“Okay, our new favorite Sichuan restaurant! We’ve been a couple of times now, and the flavors are amazing. All of the dishes that we’ve tried have been great - both in taste and value. Mapo tofu, spicy fish fillet, clay pot eggplant and pork to name a few. Highly recommended!”

“First off the food here is absolutely AMAZING! The lamb is cooked to perfection, the chicken is flavorful and the greek soup always hits the spot. Not to mention the owner bakes his OWN BREAD that is served at the table with oil, spices and feta! Ughhhh ❤ prices are so reasonable, environment is super relaxing and the owner is fully part of the team assisting in anyway he can! if you want authentic greek food, this is your spot.”

“Great owners and food. They aim to please”

“Giant menu, friendly staff. This became our preferred place for ice cream as soon as we found it. They also have soft serve which is a big plus for those of us who prefer it.”

“The place is very cozy, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. The food was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable.

The only thing I would suggest is upgrading the coffee machine. A good coffee can make such a difference after a great meal, and unfortunately, the coffee was not really to our taste. I think a good coffee machine would be a great addition. Overall, we had a very good experience and would definitely come back again!!”

“Very friendly atmosphere and we have been going for 30+ years. The food and service is outstanding! We just went with a party of 11 people. Best Italian restaurant around.”

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

“We always enjoy our dinners at Tempo. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. Special shout-out to Morgan who waited on us this time. She was friendly, helpful, and efficient, and really added to the enjoyment of our evening. The sourdough bread (albeit an extra charge) comes out soft and warm with irresistable sweet honey butter. Among our party of 4, compliments went particularly to the roasted beet & goat cheese salad, the Statler chicken, the cashew encrusted cod, and the lobster roll. We all had sorbet for dessert, which was served with a berry sauce and was lovely. The restaurant does get loud but we were able to hear each other well enough to have a long meal and lots of conversation.”

“Came into today to make a delivery both people working where incredibly nice I'll tell you it's extremely rare to meet genuinely happy and kind people nowadays I would highly recommend stopping in and checking them out based off that alone. I got a lemon iced tea it was so good and refreshing but they have a huge drink menu if the rest of the drinks where as good as this it's definitely worth trying. Again 5 stars based of service and just being good people.”

“Love coming here…my favorite sport”

“The rating is more 3.5 stars than 4. We found there are some items that are good value but the noodles were very carb-heavy and hardly had any protein so it didn't seem worth it. We may be back and if we do, we would not order noodles anymore. Taste was as good as expected.”

“I'm a longtime veggie crust customer, but this was my first time trying out their Waltham location, and they did not disappoint!

Stopped in to pick up a vegan sausage onion and pepper pizza and it was fantastic. I had ordered it well done and they cooked it perfectly. The two guys who were working this past Monday were friendly and welcoming to my son and I. The pizza was ready on time and tasted great. I would've uploaded a picture of the full pizza, but I ate half of it on the drive home, because it was that good lol. 10/10 would definitely recommend the waltham location. 🍕”

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

“I hadn't been to Sweet Basil in a while and my friend and I decided to give it a go. I had forgotten how beautiful the decor and ambiance was. We sat at the bar and were warmly greeted by the host as well as Caroline, our bartender. She made us two perfect martini's to the rim, and brought us out a complimentary dish from the chef which was fantastic (I think it was fried chickpea flour in the shape of a very think fry. They also brought us out complimentary bread and focaccia as well as home made pesto. We ordered the meatballs (the best I've ever had, and my wife is Sicilian). We then shared the Chicken Parm which had the most amazing chunky sauce packed with flavor along with homemade rigatoni! This by far was one of the best meals I've had in a while! Sweet Basil will now go in our rotation of weekly restaurants to visit.”

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

“My daughter LOVED her Barbie cake - exactly what she wanted. We’ve ordered many cakes from Kairo’s and they are always perfect. The staff is so kind - we are so lucky to have such a great small business in our neighborhood!”

“Been going to place for a very long, since Polaroid days my absolute Are their Calzones. more specifically is the Italian Calzone, I can eat it all day.”

“Absolutely wonderful small bakery. I feel like one of the family every time I go there. I get to try new food specialties from Guatemala! Yum. Today Today it was an amazing tortita. I was planning on taking a photo of it to add to the post but I ate it too soon!!! Yum!!! Totally recommend it.”

“Love so much about this place, the food is really good - the staff are so nice and friendly. They make you feel welcome. Love our Sunday brunches here.”

“Very well located and excellent establishment!!! Pastries, homemade food, burgers, everything is delicious, you can get a taste of Brazil and satisfy your nostalgia a little. Don't waste time or have any doubts, this is the right place to remember our origins.”

“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.”

“The staff was friendly. The food was delicious. The price was reasonable.”

“Leo’s is a great place that has a friendly staff and great breakfast and lunch food with speedy service. Highly recommended.”

“Great food and staff! Will visit again!”

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

“Highly recommend their catering services! Responsive, punctual, friendly, and willing to take the time to help set tables with boxed meals (for a crowd of 100+). Portions are large and reasonably priced, all ingredients fresh and high quality. GF, Veg, and Vegan options were also available and of equal quality.”

“I went there for the first time today because my son loves bubble milk tea. I’m Japanese, and I just wanted to say thank you so much for your kindness today!

My son has been very nervous about starting at a new school, so I’m sure this bubble milk tea will cheer him up! Thanks to you, I also got to try bubble milk tea for the first time, and I loved it!

Please be sure to let the store staff know.
Next time, I’ll bring my kids with me. Thank you again for making my day! 😊”

“I highly recommend Pini's Pizzeria and Ristorante. They recently opened a new location in Woburn, MA, and it’s fantastic. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The pizza is fresh, flavorful, and made with great ingredients, and they also offer delicious salads and full meals—so there’s something for everyone. Everything I’ve tried has been consistently excellent. It’s a great spot for a quick lunch, dinner, or even catering. Definitely one of the best places in the area!”

“The antioxidant smoothie is excellent. I have had their banana bread and oatmeal cookie and I appreciate the fact they are made with healthy ingredients without sugar. The sunrise power bowl is very good as well. They truly care about the quality of their food and their customers.”

“We had such a great meal here! We started with the soup with pineapple, tofu, and shrimp rice wraps, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. For our entrees, we ordered the steak banh mi and the beef pho, and both were perfect.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a truly great Vietnamese meal. I usually get banh mi in Malden, but they never feel like a full sandwich, and my favorite pho place that I loved for years closed. I’m so happy to have found a new spot that I can look forward to going back to. Everything was tasty, satisfying, and exactly what I was hoping for. Highly recommend!”

“Everything here has been super tasty. I’ve been many times and brought different friends who has all loved it. Nice, casual, cafeteria-style service. Lots if actually-vegetarian options that are very well-seasoned”

“I took my mom to tita’s kitchen for dinner and we both enjoyed it so much. We could smell the aroma of the restaurant from down the street. It smelled so delicious! The food definitely lived up to the great smells. We got tacos and a carne asada plate. I will be back and I will recommend anyone to visit Tita’s Kitchen for some yummy authentic Guatemalan/Mexican food. 5 out of 5 stars!”

“We used Arsenal (Flame) Catering last year for our National Brain Tumor Ride and they were truly amazing to work with. We were so appreciative of their diligence with taking care of our participants by providing GF and Vegan meal options”

“today I ordered 20 pizzas and 4 calzones for delivery 20 minutes away. Order came in hot and on time. I organize events all the time and was very impressed that I got a text when delivery was on it's way and a text when arrived! Also every item had a label identifying food. That's brilliant! food was excellent! thank you!”

“Love this spot!! I had the ube milk tea with ube pudding. It was great. It reminded me of a milkshake. It was very sweet so if you have a sweet tooth this drink is definitely for you! I also had the veggie pan fried buns and they came out so fresh and flavorful. Definitely a favorite on the menu. The only thing is you may have to wait quite a bit for your item. Definitely do not come here for a quick grab and go trip. Try ordering ahead. Good food quality takes time.”

“We were so impressed by this gem. We ordered the Angry Sicilian and Bacon Me Crazy and they’re both the most delicious pizzas we’ve had in forever. Thanks for being so welcoming to us Canadian gals!”

“Amazing Italian Pastry and coffee/cappuccino/espresso”

“The food here is awesome and fairly priced. Even simple breakfast sandwiches are delicious. Just be aware it’s in an office building and the entrance is hidden behind a pole. There are 2 tables but it’s mostly takeout. They are close between each meal so the hours aren’t totally accurate”
