Best takeout food in Massachusetts. Amazing cooked kebabs and meat and really good service. It's take out only with really great service. Probably the best halal restaurant in Massachusetts

Tahchin is really delicious. However, the last two times, they cut the corners of tahchin and gave it to me. So I paid for a lot of rice and very little portion of chicken ( pr ce is based on weight). The price for rice and little chcken was really high.

It’s the best Greek food at reasonable prices. A very family friendly restaurant. My parents took us there for dinner as children, I took mine, now they take theirs.

An authentic kebob odyssey in Watertown.I’ve been on a hunt for good kebob recently and stumbled upon this spot. Since Watertown is known to have some of the most authentic kebob experiences in the Greater Boston area, I had high hopes, and Roksana’s lived up to that.When I first tried their signature Koobideh, I was absolutely blown away. These minced beef kebobs were juicy, flavorful, and impeccably cooked. The addition of egg yolk brushed pita bread, coupled with the simple perfection of rice and tomatoes, made the experience even more satisfying. On my subsequent visits, I also had the lamb and beef soltanis. Beef kabob was slightly better, but both were good.In their refrigerated section, they also have some good yogurt spreads. So far, I’ve tried the eggplant and shallot spread, and although a tad more expensive, the eggplant spread definitely stood out more with its subtle smokiness.If you’re planning a visit, just make sure that you place the order via phone in advance as it might take around 20 minutes for the food to get ready. While the journey to get there might be a bit lengthy, the destination will be worth every mile traveled.

I’m a die hard fan of Roksana’s lamb koobideh Kabobs. I think the quality and taste of their food is exactly as it is in best restaurants in Iran. The awesome part is that they are consistent in their quality and over the past 10 years, I’ve never had a bad experience.

I have tried Persian food in several states across the US. Today, I tried the worst one by far here!We ordered Chicken Torsh Soltani and Lamb kabob. Kubideh was miles away from the authentic Kubideh. Chicken torsh kabob had pink spots in the middle while the marinate was burnt on the chicken pieces. Lamb kabob was not marinated correctly and it smelled like raw meat.

Today I tried their food (lamb Kabab and Koobideh). My stomach feels sick and the food was awful. I have never had such a bad experience in a persian restaurant.
