“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.“

“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! 💚“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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 :)“

“Underrated!!
Service is so friendly and communicates very well on ETA on food and expectations.
I got the shrimp stirfry udon and my wife got the crazy maki, both incredible.
The udon is fresh and flavorful, and has a generous amount of small shrimp throughout the dish, no tails!! A lot of similar places around here give you maybe 4-5 medium shrimp, tails on. This was perfect and exceeded expectations. I'm not sure why I can't find how to add the photo I took of it to my review, once I do I'll add it asap.
The crazy roll was perfectly wrapped and presented well even for a ToGo box, and was delicious as well.

Definitely regret not finding this place sooner. A new favorite for us ♡“

“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!!!“

“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 pizza was great! The kids asked to come back the next time we’re in the area. They were impressed with the size of each slice! - Franchesca - Rochester, NY“

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

“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.“

“Good food very nice service“

“We haven't been to a Ruth's Chris in a while. Our experience was outstanding. We just wanted a nice dinner out. Ruth's Chris didn't disappoint. We started with some wonderful cocktails and the small seafood tower, it was delicious lobster, huge shrimp, lump crab meat and a raw tuna salad . My wife had the filet and shrimp. The filet was tender and perfectly cooked, the shrimp were grilled perfectly. I had the 40 ounce porterhouse cooked perfectly Medium Rare , tender and juicy with a blue cheese/truffle crust. We split two sides A giant baked potato and a side of grilled asparagus. Everything was fantastic. Our server Robert was awesome polite,friendly, and professional he was very attentive. We never felt rushed . He seemed like he really enjoyed his job. It was a pleasure having him as our server. We will be back again.“

“We love Indian food and trying new places . Tonight was our first time here and it was so good. Do not be deceived by the empty restaurant! Take out orders we’re flying out of there while we sat. Our food took a while to come out but it was easily the best Indian food we’ve ever had. Paneer Manchurian, paneer tikka masala, paneer butter masala. All incredible. And wow the naan!!! The places we frequent don’t touch the quality of This food. And the best part? When you ask for mild and it comes mild! Incredible. Highly recommend.“

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

“Visited for the first time recently with a friend who had been there before the renovation, and she mentioned there has been an improvement overall, both in terms of the space itself and the food. The interior is now modern, clean, and much more polished than what you might expect from the outside. It creates a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
Service was efficient, and all dishes arrived surprisingly quickly.

We ordered fried rice, scallion pancake, gyoza, and two versions of the double-fried chicken (spicy and garlic). The spicy chicken was flavorful but closer to a medium spice level rather than truly spicy (I’m used to eating quite spicy food, including Korean dishes like strong kimchi jjigae, so I have a good reference point). The garlic version leaned slightly sweet, and the garlic flavor itself was more subtle than expected. The texture was very crispy, as expected from double-fried chicken, although not especially juicy. Those specifically looking for juicier fried chicken may want to try their Korean fried chicken instead.

The scallion pancake was good, albeit more fried and dense than the lighter, flakier style some might expect. The gyoza were very enjoyable, with good flavor and texture. The taro smoothie was excellent: rich, well-balanced, and one of the highlights of the meal. They also appear to offer a full range of bubble tea drinks.
Value was a strong point. The total came to around $50–60 for two people, including drinks (a Saporo beer in addition), and one of us is a big eater (me 😳), and we still had leftovers. Given the portion sizes, quality, and setting, the pricing felt very reasonable.

Overall, a very solid experience. While a few flavor profiles could be slightly more pronounced, the atmosphere, efficiency, and value make this a place worth returning to. It’s also nice to see how much effort they’ve put into improving the space. Well done 👏“

“My boyfriend and I love it here! When the staff learned it was his birthday they went all out with taking care of us. The staff are so kind and want you to enjoy the experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“My plate of food was 🥘 good but too expensive .“

“Came here on a Saturday evening because we had a hankering for a variety of meats and had driven by this place many times. As you walk in, you are greeted by a salad bar and table with plates or takeout containers. You grab whatever you want from the salad bar buffet (which has a small selection of meat at the end) and then head over to the grill. There are a different cuts of chicken, beef, pork, and lamb that you can request. Once you’re done ordering, they weigh your plate and you pay based upon that. There are different prices for salad bar only, salad bar and grilled meats, and grilled meats only). Then you can either take it to go or sit in the dining area behind the bar. There was a TV playing a concert and some other folks back in the casual dining area.

The picanha and other beef was a bit overcooked the night we went, but that doesn’t take away from how great the other meats were. The chicken breast wrapped in bacon was super juicy and flavorful as was the pork and spiced chicken sausage. I also tried the chicken heart just to try something new and it was also pretty good. The chicken wings were also a hit. I didn’t try anything from the salad bar, but my compatriots said the pork meatballs were also fantastic!

Overall the meats are great albeit some of the steak was overcooked, however the value for this meal was excellent. With tip, I paid $21 for nearly 1.4 pounds of various meats. Worth a try if you’re in the area and I suspect we’ll be coming back when our next carnivore craving hits!“

“Amazing food, great service, love the outdoor dining area! Can't wait to go back!“

“I just ordered my first meal here and it was very good! You now have a repeat customer. The food was fresh and flavorful.“

“I give it 4 stars clean and friendly staff.“

“My family have been customers before the pandemic changed so many businesses.
Today was no exception to the quick, tasty, and large portions. I miss the sit-down and socialize, and I respect their commitment to our community.
We watched and shared years of each other's family growing up.
Continue your patronage of a local family restaurant, or become a new customer.
Please share and post to support them.“

“For me one of the best restaurants in town, the soup has everything, the waitresses are super sweet and kind, the pupusas are outstanding (the order brings two ) I am going back today!
I love and recommend sopa de pata, street corn , aguacate , burrito, tortillas, and off course pupusas 😍“

“Best Mexican, Salvadorean and Guatemalan food I've had so far within a hour radius. We got the fajita tejanas and the gordita (pollo) very flavorful, meats were soft and butter like, good cuts. Tortillas are homemade. I was the only white person here which is a sign that it's authentic or close to it. Will be dreaming of this. Seems like they have dancing at some point, and they have two bars. Great portions.

Parking: Plenty of free parking in a lot.“

“I love the take out! The food is good , the are whiling add stuff if you want something extra ( more $$ obviously) and I really love the food ,is clean , my favorite Chinese restaurant in Waltham, Ma!!!For take out only!!!

Vegetarian options: There’s some really good veggie dishes, is all about inquiring and asking for what you want! The food is really good!“

“Our party of 6 had an excellent belated-valentines day dinner this past weekend. Our server Danny was so attentive and personable. He kept the drinks and laughs coming! All the food was fantastic and came out quickly. We will definitely be back again!“
