I literally drove downtown in the rain, and it was indeed around 9:30 on a Tuesday night. (but I'm sure the record shops were closed, if there are even any still open these days) however that may be why the food was terrible so YMMV. I should have known better seeing that they did not sell shawarma that it was going to be a disappointing experience. I ordered the mix plate - around $22 total. The gyro meat was so dry that when reheated, took on a crunchy texture. The chicken did not please. it was lacking in flavor. The rice seemed to be basic white rice, which surprised me because most mediterranean/arabic restaurants have really great tasty rice. the bread that came with the meal was pretty good, but with the other elements of the meal being subpar, it was not enjoyable at all. The selection of drinks there is basic soda that's either high in sugar or high in caffeine, I suppose thats typical since many college students live in this area. I don't think I'll return. I finished maybe half of it, and reluctantly threw the rest away (I hate wasting food but this was not even food I would give to the homeless). read more

Ordered: Zaatar & Cheese Flatbread (~$8) Aya's take: Being Lebanese myself, I love a good manousheh (aka flatbread) and didn't expect to see a place making them here in Boston. The Zaatar & Cheese Flatbread was made fresh. The zaatar was nicely spiced and slightly sweet which I'm not used to, the cheese they use is mozzarella which isn't traditional, and the dough is super thin crust which is also not traditional. Zaatar is typically earthy, nutty, and lemony from the oregano and sumac and the cheese should've been Akawi cheese. The dough should also be slightly thicker and fluffier. It would've been nice if they did the Zaatar on one side and the Cheese on the other side. We saw the table next to us get their's that way and I wish it was offered to us like that as that's my preferred option. Nonetheless, decent try and always happy to support an Arab business! read more

Ajeen - Zaatar & Cheese Flatbread (~$8) - Middle Eastern Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Amazing spot. Food is delicious and staff is very friendly. Fast service considering they make everything fresh. Would highly recommend.

I got the gyro wrap and a cheese pizza flatbread. For starters, some of the best seasoned oof I've had in Boston, hands down. The pizza had a nice mix of herbs on the mozzarella and the dough was also surprisingly flavorful. The gyro was about as standard as a gyro as you can get anywhere, but again the seasoning in the sauce and meat was perfect. Near everything was made fresh for me (at 3pm) except the pizza which was clearly recently made and still heated up nicely for me. I got my food quickly as well, especially for only one worker running the whole place. It was a very nice meal and I would go again. Price wasn't too bad for the gyro either - around 12 bucks after tax and if you've ever gotten a gyro in the past two years you'll know that is around a buck less than average for anyone but street vendors. Overall would recommend, will visit again. read more

Love the food here! Delicious Service is fast! They make fresh bread. We ordered Zaatar flatbread and chicken wrap. They were good I recommend this place if you would like to try Halal food. read more

The serving size was a little on the smaller side and the wait for my order (only one Zaatar) was long even though nobody was there... Even though I could really taste the spice, it was so dry and overdone that it became very difficult to eat. Would not go again. read more

I saw other reviewers recommending the soujouk and cheese flatbread so I had to try it for myself. It was so delicious! I was initially worried that there wouldn't be much sausage or cheese but I was pleasantly surprised that the flatbread was nicely stuffed. There was lots of cheese, sausage, tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, and a delicious, tangy, slightly spicy sauce. I thought the flavor profile was quite unique. The bread itself was so flavorful and had the perfect amount of char to it. For $11 on the delivery app this was a good deal! Their other flatbreads are cheaper in price. I look forward to trying more of their menu items. This place is connected to House of Shawarma (flatbread AND shawarma?! Yum) and you can also order some grocery items. read more

Ajeen - Soujouk and Cheese Flatbread - Middle Eastern Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

They make the wrap for the gyros and for the flatbread fresh for every order, wowza!! The fresh dough is so delicious! I've only been there at odd hours I suppose (so there was no line) and it was very fast service. The gyro fillings have also been very juicy and the cheese/zatar flatbread very flavorful. read more

Food was good overall, but I felt as though it was lacking a bit of spice/flavor. We tried both the Chicken Schwarma wrap and fire grilled gyros wrap, and they didn't meet our expectations in terms of other Lebanese restaurants we've tried. Great option if you're in a rush, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. I rated 4 stars because the staff was super nice and provided fabulous service. read more

They are good with some pastries and appetizers, but not that much with kebabs. I would say it's okay to try! read more

Ajeen is DELICIOUS. Freshly baked flatbread. Spiced lamb kebabs. Every ingredient is fresh and amazing. These wraps were so much more enjoyable than the standard shwarma pita wraps since they are toasty warm from inside to out. The lamb not only was tender and falling apart, but it was nicely seasoned with herbs and juicy. I was pleasantly surprised, you will be too! read more

Amazing food and staff! Best flatbreads in Boston. I truly recommend this place to everyone.

Like someone else (I saw too late) I got the veggie flatbread. It was literally tomatoes and barely cooked mostly raw onions. That is it. On admittedly tasty bread. Mine also didn't come with a red pepper paste but I did not ask. I just forced it down because I was starving. Everything else may be okay. I don't know. But the veggie flatbread is terrible. No wonder it didn't have an image online it's embarrassing. read more

Ajeen - Veggie flatbread (allegedly). Literally a few tomato slices and onion. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Came here for lunch for the first time. They are a small shop but have plenty outdoor seating ! They also provide samples (when available) they warm up by the slice for you to try and that's what ultimately led us to deciding on our dishes. I got the Zatar and cheese my boyfriend got the Soujouk and cheese with a side of Baba Ghannouj and hummus tip: the portions are large ( so we ended up taking home some leftovers) Everything was fresh out the oven and delicious ! A must try the prices are fairly affordable and worth the portion and flavor you get. read more

Nice people and good kebab. Hard to find quality stuff outside where I have been in europe. Excited to check out there hookah lounge!

Manakeesh are great!!! The cheese is amazing! Service was excellent. Pleaaasseee bring back the SOUJOUK

Ajeen offers traditional Middle Eastern flatbreads that are hard to find at most places. They not only offer the more traditional options, but they've created a fun twist by making the flatbreads into sandwiches. All the bread is made fresh on site when you place an order. And all of their meats are halal. Ajeen has very close vibes to Manakish in Philadelphia. Everything is honestly really good, so if you follow personal preference you'll land on a good option. We really enjoyed the chicken and soujouk sandwiches. Prices are fair, portions are good, and they offer indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Yesterday, I waited over 25 minutes for my food. Meanwhile, a large group of people who arrived after me ordered and began being served. I asked why my order was taking so long (after 15 minutes they hadn't even started it), they said "There are a lot of orders." When I pointed out that I had ordered earlier than those being served, the staff literally shrugged. Last time I ate here, it took nearly 20 minutes for my food (a simple wrap) to be prepared, and I was the only one in the restaurant. I will be honest-- the food is really good. The service is shockingly bad. I get it, mistakes happen, but a little contrition and an acknowledgement that I was being inconvenienced would have assured my continued patronage. Instead, I was made to feel like I was being an annoyance. I'd rather support a friendlier business read more

I wanted to like Ajeen and went into it with an open mind, generally I love the cuisine, but I wouldn't recommend it. food/service were both not great.. My bf got the mixed platter which he did not enjoy. I got the falafel platter, it was ok.! We shared a lahmajun flatbread, but were a bit disappointed when we saw that they were all pre-made just waiting to be reheated. We placed an order in the restaurant for takeout. When I asked if I could change my order (they have an amazingly big menu so I was pretty indecisive!), they accepted, but they never offered to refund us the difference when we ended up getting a less expensive item. Overall, I am not sure it's worth it for the price, but there are a lot of options on the menu so...give it a try and see! read more

Super cute place with great service and decent prices. A zaatar pita is $4.50, or $5 and change including tax. It's super herby and not salty at all, a great vehicle for toppings or just a snack on its own. The owners are very nice and the bread gets heated up on the spot so it's perfect to snack on on the way home on a chilly evening. I forgot to get a picture, but I will definitely be back! read more

Ajeen - Menu 9/29/22 - Middle Eastern Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This spot was recommended to us through a friend and we were so happy we tried it out! We were able to place our orders online which saved us time when we went into the store. The menu is clear and the website is easy to use. The employees were very friendly and helpful and had our orders ready for us! Their variety of flatbreads that we tried were muhamara, muhamara with cheese, soujoukh, lahm ajeen, zaatar, zaatar and cheese and they were absolutely delicious. The dough was perfectly cooked and the spices were perfect. The lemon and pepper on the lahmajun made the flatbread taste phenomenal. Coming from an Armenian background this was truly a taste of home. We can't wait to go back! read more

After having an order from another restaurant cancelled at 9pm tonight, we scrambled to find another restaurant that was still open. Luckily we found Ajeen! They're open late! We ordered the Soujouk and cheese flatbread, mouhammara flatbread, kebab plate and a side of babaghannouj. Order came pretty quickly within 30 minutes. Food was warm and fresh. All of the the bread was so fresh and tasty! Mouhammara was great, soujouk and cheese flatbread delicious, kafta kebab and baba ghannouj very flavorful. All food tasted great. We were so hungry, that I forgot to take a picture, so this is what was left of the food after we had eaten lol! Really great food, highly recommend them. Will definitely order again. read more

Ajeen - Half of each flatbread Mouhammara and Soujouk, kafta dinner, baba ghannouj - Middle Eastern Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Great Lebanese flatbreads at a great price! We walked in during their soft opening, and were lucky enough to get some free samples before we picked what we wanted. Ended up getting the Zaatar and Mouhammara with a side of Baba Ghannouj. Both flatbreads were great, with plenty of toppings so they are definitely worth the cheap price! Baba Ghannouj tasted very fresh, definitely homemade. Everyone in there was happy to answer our questions! We may have to go back again today. They also give extra pita for free if you order a side sauce! read more

Ajeen - Zaatar Flatbread, Mouhammara Flatbread, Baba Ghannouj - Middle Eastern Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Ajeen is my go-to spot in Allston! I love this place for its authentic Lebanese shawarma, kebab wraps and za'atar. Za'atar flatbread - trying this changed my life! Seriously, because I bought it almost every day after for a month. It's the perfect snack for after-school stress because it has a healthy amount of oil and the flavors are so strong. I like to think of this as a healthier version of pizza because I watch them pull it out of the brick oven! Kebab flatbread - this huge wrap is filled with flavorful beef and lamb slices that melt in your mouth. I am genuinely taken aback by how much flavor is in each bite every time I order this. Soujouk and cheese flatbread - Okay, this wrap is HUGE. and MESSY. in the best way possible. It's so saucy, and the cheese pairs perfectly with the sausage that is stuffed inside! Pickles add a sweet and sour flavor to the profile. Overall, love this flatbread. Hummus & Baba Ganoush - I've tried an order of each, and prefer the baba ganoush more for its perfect smoked garlic flavor. The hummus is also delicious and refreshing-- just not as good as the baba ganoush. Each comes with pita on the side. 5 stars because the food is amazing, but also because the workers are so kind and honest about their menu! I will always vouch for this place :) read more

Quick and easy finger food served well with decent prices. However, the menu doesn't satisfy a wide variety of Mediterranean cravings.

Got take out from this new spot for a date night. Really excited to try a new cuisine we don't do too much of. The Za'atar bread was delicious and well seasoned. My girl's falafel wrap was huge and she enjoyed it, my chicken wrap was good, but I felt a little salty for my taste and I would have enjoyed it served hot weather than almost as a salad. All in all a good new spot for the neighborhood read more

I ordered a gyro wrap. First, the wrap was baked fresh, which is a total game changer for this kind of food. The gyro meat was flavorful and the salad and pickles (including pickled turnips!) were fresh and plentiful. Friendly staff. Extremely satisfying and I shall return! read more

I have absolutely no idea how this place gets good ratings. I did their "too good to go" deal today for four dollars and received 3/4 of a cheese flatbread. There wasn't very much cheese and the crust was hard. It's supposed to be a $12 value, but I don't think it was worth even two dollars. Definitely not going back. read more

Visiting the area for work and I was craving something Lebanese. I found this little bakery on apple maps and had to give it a shot. Needless to say I loved this place. Doesn't get more authentic mom and pop than this. The fresh smell of zaatar when you walk in was what did it for me and I knew this place was going to be good. Food was wonderful and tasted like home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick bite. Service was very quick and the staff was welcoming, friendly and open to conversation. Definitely a hole in the wall place but that's what makes this hidden gem so much better. You will walk out of there wishing there was a location closer to you. read more
