“Worst ever service. Don't have a courtesy of taking orders in time and checking on customers periodically.Godavari opened 3 months ago. Customer service was very good initially but as more people started coming in customer service has dropped they as they feel already established.Very poor.Recent visits: Godavari customer service has changed completely. It is now really good and the food is good too.“

“Ahmed, the owner, is a great and generous man. He has created a perfect place if you want to go somewhere with a great atmosphere, where the staff is friendly and accommodating to all needs. I have been there a few times now and every time have felt welcome, and have been served excellent food. Their breakfast sandwiches are perfect if you need a quick bite to eat before work, or if you go for lunch their menu is excellent offering a wide variety of selections. I honestly would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for something great to eat in the Brighton area of Boston.“

“They added a self order kiosk right when you walk in so saves time from waiting in line to order. Best part is still being able to get your own sauce so you can get a variety or a little bit of each one for enhanced flavor. They always keep it clean inside and the sauce counters are always clean.“

“The food is just delicious and the staff is friendly and happy to have you there. Everything is so fresh and yummy. If you like Indian food at all, or want to try it for the first time - go here. They have meat dishes, vegetarian dishes and vegan dishes.“

“We usually order from a different Shawarma place in Somerville, but decided to give Sam's a try. The food was very good, and in good sized portions. They were good about following requests to leave things out of the wraps. Note that they do the style with fries on the side rather than in the wrap. My only complaint is that they list some, but not all, of the ingredients on their site. So if you have things you can't eat, I definitely recommend calling them to double check. My partner can't do creamy sauces, and they listed tahini sauce but not garlic sauce in the lamb/beef shawarma, which ended up being a problem. Not a huge thing, just annoying that they make it look like everything is listed when it isn't.“

“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.“

“My friend and I were craving Mediterranean food, so we decided to try Sufra - and it did not disappoint. Being from the Mediterranean myself, I am usually very critical of Mediterranean food, but this was truly amazing. Everything was so good, and I have to say the highlight of the meal was the baba ganoush and the shawarma. I had not had good shawarma in Boston until I tried Sufra's - it tasted so authentic and just like home! And the baba ganoush was to die for - the flavor was perfect. The staff are friendly, the food came quick, the portions are huge and the food is also decently priced. I had a very positive experience in Sufra - I will definitely be returning soon and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Mediterranean meal.“

“One of my favorite lunches in Boston. Not fancy or expensive, just affordable, healthy and large portions. My go to is the chicken kabob plate, with falafels, rice, cucumber/tomato and a really good pita bread. It's 4-5 nice chunks of grilled white meat, nice yellow rice, and strangely delicious veggies. I always ask for extra hot sauce, it's not hot and just adds flavor. It's almost too much food honestly. I also get the side of falafels which is only 5$. You get 4-5 falafels, a nice scoop of humus, and pita bread. It's more than enough food and such a good deal. They guys working there are always pretty nice and efficient.“

“Absolutely love the menu ! My husband loves the lamb and I love chicken on the rice and gyros here.One suggestion though, change the pitas for gyros all the sauce leaks through when you are trying to eat the gyro and you end up messing everything with the sauce.But overall 10/10“

“A must-not miss restaurant! Physically, one of the most beautiful restaurants you will find. The service and presentation were excellent. Very family friendly. The bread is baked on premise in a wood oven. It is served with an array of dipping sauces. My companion and I each had Kourma Challow with Lamb. I had that feeling of: this food is so delicious that I want to eat every morsel, but the portions are so plentiful that I can't. Helmand is delightful!“

“Well seasoned and delicious. My first time going it tasted like comfort food already. Friendly staff in a quiet atmosphere. I got the mint tea which was extremely refreshing and unsweetened. Bonus points for playing a rerun of an old baseball game.“

“This is such a wonderful addition to the halal food scene in Boston! This restaurant is tucked away, in a small Asian food court, and is a hidden gem! The food portions are large, and each entree is fresh and packed with a bunch of flavor (and “spicy” is actually spicy here, haha).We ordered the Spicy Beef Noodles, Samsa, and Chicken entrees and they were wonderful! We will definitely be coming back soon!!!“

“This place is absolutely delicious. We had the chicken Tikki masala and the naan (garlic and regular). Everything was incredible: fresh flavorful and unique. The outside looks like it is an average fast food place but nothing about the food is average. Delicious!“

“Food was really good here! They cooked the chicken very well. I've been here twice already and the staff have been friendly and patient. Never had to wait too long for the food to be served (usually 10 minutes with other customers present). Everything on the menu is halal. Parking is convenient with a garage next door that allows up to 3 hours of free parking. Will definitely be visiting again!“

“Jo's is one of the best Indian restaurants around. The service was excellent and the food was superb. The restaurant has a very warm, welcoming, serene atmosphere. I love this place! I don't understand why the ratings for this restaurant is not a lot higher, it should be a lot higher. Don't be deceived by the bad ratings and reviews. I recommend giving this place a try, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.“

“Upon entering, the aroma of exotic spices and freshly baked bread wafts through the air, awakening your senses and igniting your appetite. The décor is a fusion of modern elegance and traditional charm, with intricately designed carpets adorning the floors and soft, ambient lighting casting a golden glow over the space.But it is the menu that truly steals the show. Bursting with an array of authentic Middle Eastern dishes, each offering is a masterpiece crafted with precision and passion. Begin your culinary adventure with an assortment of mezes, from creamy hummus and smoky baba ghanoush to crispy falafel and tangy tabbouleh, each bite bursting with flavor and freshness. For the main course, prepare to be transported to the streets of Beirut or the markets of Marrakech with an array of mouthwatering options. Indulge in tender lamb kebabs, succulent shawarma, or fragrant tagines, each dish a symphony of spices and textures that dance on your palate. No Middle Eastern feast would be complete without a sweet finale, and DARNA certainly delivers on that front. From decadent kunafa dripping with honey and nuts to creamy, rose-scented rice pudding, each dessert is a celebration of indulgence and tradition.“

“My friend and I were looking for a spot to get some dinner before a Celtics game and we were walking by New York Shawarma Guys on the way to the arena and decided to go there. We were there under an hour before tip off and it wasn’t overly busy which was nice!I ordered the lamb shawarma wrap and forgot to ask for it to be spicy, but they gave me some hot sauce on the side. The wrap was made very quickly and was tasty with a good portion of lamb. It was a pretty big wrap and left me feeling full by the time I finished it. The beef in my buddy’s falafel and beef shawarma wrap had some pieces that were pretty tough, but the shawarma wraps were good overall.When I asked about the deal that I saw on a sign out front to get a drink for free when you order a Shawarma wrap, I was told that that was just for lunch but I could grab a can of soda anyway, which was really kind of them. The service was great!Hard to beat for $12 each downtown Boston! I’ll be back!“

“I recently dined at Ali Baba Cafe, and it was a delightful experience. I started with the lahmacun and sautéed eggplant as appetizers, both of which were incredibly flavorful. The eggplant dish, in particular, deserves special mention for its underrated brilliance. The lahmacun was also a standout, perfectly capturing the essence of Turkish flavors. For the main course, I opted for the Doner Kabob, and it did not disappoint. The authenticity of its preparation was evident in every bite. My parents enjoyed the Iskender and Adana Kabob, and their satisfaction mirrored my own. Overall, my visit to Ali Baba Cafe was a culinary delight, reminding me why I fell in love with Turkish cuisine in the first place. If you're ever in Boston, this is a must-visit for any food enthusiast craving an authentic taste of Turkey.“

“Truly truly truly the greatest halal food you'll find in Boston. The Super Shawarma Sandwich is delectable, with crunchy fries and melty cheese on the inside leaving you wanting more with each bite. I also tried the Mixed Grill Plate which had an assortment of their grilled kabob meats (lamb, chicken, kafta, chicken kafta) - all phenomenal! Great service as well, they always make me feel like family. Stop by and enjoy the best halal eats in Boston.Vegetarian options: Falafel, Babaganoush, Hummus“

“In Massachusetts this is the cleanest restaurant.Specially restrooms,cutlery,dishes are cleaner than all other’s restaurants in Boston area and around.And no doubt about halal option.Some other restaurants I always doubt about halal option.Only one thing I can say there’s portions a bit small.Like in biriyany they give very little portion of meat and some dishe are very little portion.They can increase portions and price“

“Food is great, the garlic cucumber is definitely authentic which reminds me my mom's cooking. The cumin lamb is a little bit on the salty side so would be great if you have it with pancake or rice. Both dry fried noodles and dice noodles are very good. Would love to try the lamb BBQ next with the meat pancakes as well.“

“Food was very cold when I received it. The chicken wings I purchased tasted like rubber. My kids wouldn't even eat it. The pizza was just ok. I'll never order from them again when I'm in the area. Definitely better options around.I was able to talk to the owner and he made the situation right and the food was much better this time around. Thank you“

“The food is good especially, Pizzas are so delicious. But need deep clean, so dirty. Bad example for other culture people when they visit (it's in downtown). The toilet faucet can be fixed for $50. Just look at YouTube and change buy yourself. Tables are so oily.“

“I ordered garlic bread and a large Primavera pizza, which is larger than the large pizzas at other pizzerias. The pizza came with a good amount of toppings, and the thin crust is also great! However, I would have liked the crust to be crisper. Overall, it was a good quality pizza at a reasonable price. They have a lot of options for vegetarians, which is a plus.“

“I placed a big order for work and everyone raved about their orders. I am a little disgusted, in myself, for inhaling my lamb shawarma roll up and not savoring the flavors more. We will definitely be ordering again. Also quick delivery and food was fresh.“

“I have been enjoying Chicken and Rice guys since it was a line of food trucks!Whether you order from the kiosk or the counter the food comes out immediately - they know how to move the lunch crowd along. I always get the chicken on rice. And I usually get the garlic sauce, the barbeque sauce or some mix of the two. It's consistently good, but your other options are tofu or gyro - but I've never had either. They have cans of soda (coke company!) and some house made beverages. Always a delicious meal. This is the only brick and mortar location I've ever been to - and though I liked the Cheeseboy that was here years before, Chicken and Rice guys is a step up. (The cheeseboy lives on in a rectangular garbage slot in the center trashcan console that is the exact shape of the cheeseboy sandwich boxes)My less favorite things.The Kiosk is right in front of the door, so if a customer is slow at the kiosk, folks queue up and block the door. I'm also not a fan of the hard plastic to go containers.“

“I got two words for you: kebab pizza. It's not on the menu, but if you ask for it, they'll make - and it's damn delicious. This place is a knockout, good vegan options, and the Turkish-inspired flavors really zhuzh things up. If you're looking for some comfort food with style, Tarboosh has gotchu.“

“I've passed this place a bunch of times in their old downtown location and I was always curious. I finally had the opportunity to come in today (to their new place at 92 Bedford street) and I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered a meat combo plate with lamb curry, mater paneer, naan bread, rice and a vegetable samosa and all were excellent! The samosa in particular I liked, it didn't taste frozen or old like they sometimes do. The lamb was tender and flavorful. The mater paneer was a little soupy but was still good and made a nice gravy for the rice. There aren't many options for Indian food in downtown so it's very nice to have this place to go to. I will definitely come back!“

“So friendly and delicious food and tea.I wanted to try Chebakia, because I know it’s special for Ramadan and Ramadan just ended. Thankfully they had some! Super sweet. Not my favorite item.But they made unsweetened mint tea for me, and I enjoyed the chicken and beef pastries.Apparently there will be a full kitchen of foods within the next few weeks, so I’ll have to come back to try!“
“Their scallion lamb dish is superb. Complex flavors, intriguing vegetables and greens in the dish and highest quality lamb in generous quantities. A surprise and a pleasure. Be sure to order the side of rice. While the lamb skewers were also good - again the great lamb - be sure you like cumin - the predominant spice. Both are good, the scallion lamb, though, is great.“

“I love this place. The food is amazing, Kafta, hummus, falafel, stuffed grape leaves, bastirma, you name it, it’s good. They even have some kid/picky eater friendly items like chicken fingers that are great. They’re adding pizza to the menu, and I can’t wait to give it a try.“

“A solid choice for fast mediterranean food in Allston!Food: The food was really good - we tried one plate and one wrap. The tastes were there, the veggies tasted fresh and the sauces/dips were really tasty as well (especially the spicy garlic one).My personal preference was spicy beef, as the chicken was not as great, but that might just be a question of preference. Still, although the meat was precut and loaded to plates from the tray (a little disappointment), it still tasted pretty good.Service: Communication was a little messy, since the place was almost empty, but it was fast.Ambiance: It's nothing special. Everytime I pass it by it's half empty, so I assume many people order take out. It's definitely not a place for a date, but for what it is - it's great!“

“Ten stars. Picked this place because they actually have toum, which most places downtown don't. 100% the right decision. Excellent food, very fresh and delicious. Great service and a very kind welcome. My only complaint is I live outside their delivery area.“

“The food was utterly delicious and the person serving us was very warm and welcoming. I ordered Beef Nihari, Mutton Nihari, Mutton Kadhai, Mutton Haleem, Garlic Naan and chai. Everything was great. The meat in Mutton Kadhai could have been cooked for a little bit longer.Parking: When I went, I couldn't find parking in front of the store. However, there is a public parking lot where you can park your car close by.“

“Amazing food as always because it's our go food when no one wants to cook. The one time they forgot rice I called (because my son eats plain rice as his meal sometimes) and they were here with a large rice in 10min. Thank you guys! You do great.“

“My husband and I loooovvveee this place. Definitely go order in person and don't do the delivery through Uber eats or Postmates. It comes out to the same price if you were to just go get it in store and you get more food and mix in options to choose from.“

We really enjoyed the food and the hospitality was top tier - Gloria made our experience much better. I also recommend the boozy mango lassi, it was the perfect way to start our meals.I’m usually very picky about Indian food but I was pleasantly surprised.“

“I ordered online through Uber Eats. Food is excellent. Let me tell you, when they say sliders, they are actually regular sized buns with HUGE pieces of chicken. Chicken is so big, it hangs about 2 inches outside each side of the bun. I usually get the "extra hot" seasoning, and it's pretty good for someone who likes hot stuff. BEWARE: The Reaper spice is NO JOKE. DO NOT order this if for one second you think you may not be able to handle it. It's just way too much. The jump from "Extra hot" to "Reaper" is like going from 0-120. I also get the Mac and cheese. Very very good Mac and cheese. Sandwiches come with pickles and Dave's Sauce. Excellent 10/10 ??“
