Restaurants in Wellesley

“I've been to Cafe Mangal four times for lunch over the past year, and every visit has been an outstanding experience. The food is consistently fresh, delicious, and healthy, but what truly sets this place apart is the warm, welcoming atmosphere that the owner, Mehmet, creates for me.

Each time I've visited, Mehmet has personally come to our table to greet me and my friends or family, often bringing us a new appetizer or dessert to try. His genuine hospitality and attention to detail make every meal feel special.

Every visit has been filled with great food, laughter, and friendly conversation, and I always leave with a smile. I highly recommend Cafe Mangal to anyone looking for exceptional food and an even more exceptional dining experience.”

“Not only was the Baba , Peach Gazpacho and chicken Shastish delish , but Chef David took the time to chat with us in 100 degree weather and served us a sample of his staffs lunch he was preparing for them today ...his moms fav dish when he was a kid... THE MESSY SANDWICH ! Homemade Crispy BLT , heirloom tomato with a hit of peanut butter . Hope he puts it on the menu someday but more importantly know he's "the real deal" born and raised New England cool, creative and genuine - cheers to you Chef David !!!”

“imported Italian provisions, cheeses, bread - all great. Thankful to have it in town.”

“Great tasting food and customer service is amazing. New ownership!!! Tried a bunch of apps and food. Fried gyozas were super crispy as well as the wings! nice noodle soups and I love the curry. I will have to be back to try more of the menu. Milk tea and Boba available as well as my always favorite Thai ice tea!”

“Worker ran down the stairs and ran to find our car and give us a roll they missed to give us. If that’s not dedication then I don’t know what is, you guys have to check this place.

Ps. The food was amazing 10/10 would come here again”

“AMAZING. Both quality of food, and service. Our server last evening was Patrick, who was professional and delightful. I let him chose my wine and it did not disappoint. Excellent preparation of venison as well. 10/10 experience, as we don't eat out often - and we were impressed. Wonderful evening, will be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Sandwiches were made wrong, no biggie, will be back for more goodness!!!”

“Been stopping here almost 2 years now can never seem to get by here without stopping lol Delicious food and great service Always a pleaser and great comfort food”

“Its not my first visit to this place and I have never been dissapointed. The onwer and his stuff are extremely welcoming, food comes out fast while being delecious every single time. Amazing breakfast and lunch. I drive for years from Boston just to have breakfast there. Highly reccomended”

“DJed a soccer clinic in Wellesley and went late, was so hungry and caught these guys just before close. Not only did they not turn me away, they made me the best sandwich (their chicken salad is awesome). Super friendly and helped out someone in real need of a high quality sandwich last min! Thank you!!”

“I got the Bulgogi Shaved Steak on a rice bun... very yummy and hit the spot! 😋”

“Phenomenal experience from start to finish. Alessandra, our waitress, was outstanding. She was super knowledgeable about the menu, had great suggestions and was very personable. The sushi was the best sushi I’ve had to date. The Udon noodles & general Tsao’s chicken were some of the best Asian dishes I’ve ever had as well. The “unusual espresso martini” with the salted banana foam top was unreal. Also the best cocktail I’ve had in quite some time! I savored every sip. Alessandra truly made our experience great and she made my son’s birthday so special. What a gem of a spot in Wellesley! We will definitely be back and ask for Alessandra in the future!”

“We’ve been doing some work at the building where Peter’s Pizza is located and have gotten to know the people there over the past few days. They couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating to our crew and have gone out of their way to make us feel at home.

We’ve also had the chance to try the food and it’s excellent. Great food, great people, and the kind of local business that genuinely cares about the people around them. Highly recommend Peter’s Pizza!”

“Absolutely the best pizza place in Wellesley. I love the taste it's fresh, think crispy dough is amazing, chicken tender and burrito bowls are awesome too. love it!”

“Fiorellas should more restaurants and takeout food with more food options. Special in wellsley all mass.”

“Best cortado that I have had in Boston for sure. Such a great coffee shop. Love the cleanliness and decoration as well.”

“I bought a turkey croissant for lunch. The lady picked up one and said “this is tiny” and gave me two for the price of one. It is not tiny at all! I don’t know if she thought I bought something not enough for lunch, since I dressed in my cheapest t shirt, or they usually make bigger croissant. She warmed my day anyway.”

“Very good and really tasty. if there is a line . its worth waiting don't leave.”

“Have you ever been having a really bad day and someone does something nice unexpectedly and suddenly you want to cry? Anyways the women here are fantastic and deserve raises”

“Cupcakes were my first introduction to Ware Baking Co., and I was hooked right off the bat. The "Cookie Drop" is the one thing we look forward to every week, and love the personal delivery service. Great holiday gift, or plan your next party!”

“we come hear many sundays as a family. always a great experience. great food and friendly team working there.
also big fans of their catering. great for birthday parties, etc.”

“Best Chinese food ever, best waitress Cindy,”

“Bennett, and the other staff of this establishment showed incredible commitment and diligence in the efforts to cater to our rather complicated set of food allergies and needs. Most places we walk into, we are already discouraged because of our challenges. The staff here gave us a full 180° turn on this. And oh yeah, the food was delicious and filling!

“Snacking freaking pizza. Popped in randomly on our way back to MA from Maine and OMG seriously the slices we got were out of this world 😍. Great service, super friendly people, awesome grub. 10/10 would recommend. We will be going back whenever we are in town again!”

“These guys are phenomenal! Woody is an institution and Nancy on the weekends is super friendly!Highly recommended for coffee, donuts or sandwiches and much more!”

“The Sonos tacos are surprisingly good (the guacamole is good, but expensive) The Philly steak sandwich is good especially with the teriyaki sauce. The wrap is also a good option!”

“Roger's Pub is on the Babson College campus so it's a small out of the way place that I think you will like. The food is a step above your everyday pub food. The staff is great and it's a really great place to hold a catered event. Check it out. You will be surprised.”

“Located in the actual middle of the delightful Blagden Alley. I popped in for a morning coffee and had a life-altering draft oat latte (pumpkin spice as it was the season). Definitely recommend for your java fix in that area!”

“2nd visit to your restaurant in the past month comments - the Bar Tender was not very friendly or welcoming - not ignoring customers but not intuned , Like " Hello I'll be right wth you " 2nd small item is the knives - not sharp where they need to be - time for some replacements Thanks”

“Lockheart offers delicious, affordable food. Appetizers include yummy street corn and sliders (three perfect little cheese burgers). Great variety of their gourmet tacos. Their guacamole is fabulous. Always excellent, friendly service. Efficient and kind staff! Great eating at tables or booths or having food and drinks at the bar. The two TV screens at the bar often show sports with the sound off.”

“Service was amazing. Food was even better. Friendliest staff of any restaurant I’ve ever been to. I live in California and I’m coming back!”

“best sushi place that you should try!”

“Loaded bowl of pho was S-tier, no doubt about that. Broth didn't even need any additives, but chili oil sent it over the top. A little skimpy with the meats though. I will stop by whenever in the area.”

“Freshest food & Excellent service/ppl ty ;-)”

“Nero is a hit or miss. Good latte but pricey.
The ham and cheese on croissant had to be re-made. Location was the reason for the visit. Place looks great!”

“I love Indian food and Singh's Cafe has the best Indian food in the state. They had stopped their luncheon buffet, they have recently resumed the buffed. I can't tell you how happy I was.. Everything is great. The Tiki masala, lamb, vegetable dishes are incredible. The samosas are killer.. There isn't a bad dish there.. The atmosphere is warm and there has never been a wait. There is plenty of street parking right in front. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, and the prices are quite reasonable, $15 for the all you can eat lunch buffet. I always get some to bring back to my wife, she also thinks it's the best Indian food.”

“Amazing.”

“Another nice dining experience at Dryft. This was our 4th or 5th time for dinner. We had burgers and salmon and swordfish. Everything was cooked as requested. Also spilt a Caesar salad and watermelon salad. Service was very good. Very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The noise level was a little loud but not that bad. Never disappointed at Dryft.”

“Been going here since forever and always a great and affordable experience”

“Best sushi and great service.”

“I love this as a delicious and inclusive place!”

“Tough to choose; everything was great.. Delicious food, amazing cocktails..”

“I’m here with my mom we from Puerto Rico; we came almost 5 years or more and I’m here celebrating my birthday great food and great place. I’m definitely coming back.”

“Food is amazing!!! Wouldn’t go anywhere else.”

“Delicious ice cream!!! Can’t beat it:)”

“Shake Shack in Wellesley is a convenient addition for a quick burger and shake stop, especially if you’re looking for a familiar fast-casual option in the area. The restaurant has a clean, modern layout with a simple ordering setup where you place your order through kiosks and the food is brought out when ready. The space feels casual and easy for a quick meal, whether you’re stopping by for lunch, dinner, or just a dessert run.

The burgers are the main attraction, with the classic ShackBurger being the go-to choice. The patties have that signature crispy edge with a juicy center, and the combination of the soft potato bun, cheese, and sauce gives it the recognizable Shake Shack flavor. The fries are also a popular choice, especially paired with one of their shakes. The shakes are probably one of the strongest parts of the menu, with seasonal flavors like the banana pudding shake getting a lot of attention. The drinks and desserts help make the meal feel more like a treat rather than just a standard burger stop.

My experience here was mixed depending on expectations. The food was consistent with what you’d expect from Shake Shack, but the pricing can feel high compared to other fast-food options. The portions are on the smaller side, so it may not feel like the best value if you’re looking for a large, filling meal. Service can also vary, with some visits being quick and friendly while others have had longer waits.

Overall, Shake Shack Wellesley is a solid option when you’re craving a reliable burger, fries, and shake combo. The biggest strengths are the clean atmosphere, friendly staff, and consistent flavors. It’s a good casual spot for a quick meal or dessert, but the higher prices mean it’s more of an occasional treat than an everyday burger stop.”

“Great Staff, great drinks.”

“I love everything about Tatte, I just have 1 request:

MAKE 1 TABLE AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH A LAPTOP, SITTING AROUND FOR HOURS BY THEMSELVES ON A TABLE FOR 3 or 4 TABLE, while people are waiting!!”

“I don't think it's fair to the employees to have them doing all those mobile orders, and dealing with long lines of people that don't do the mobile orders, and these are great great!!!”

“Outstanding Wagyu rib eye!”

“The manager Matt was very kind and helpful in supporting me and my peers with a college class challenge. The food was absolutely amazing!! Very yummy, will definitely be coming back again. Thank you!”
