I love this place! I went on the hunt for quality Middle Eastern food after a recent trip there and could not be more grateful to have found Azama! Azama is a man that truly takes pride in his work and is excited to share his culture and food with his customers. Whether I go at 9pm or 2am, he is always friendly and eager to share his specialty items with me. The falafel, schwarma, and lamb/chicken kebabs--as well as several dessert items that I cannot pronounce--are absolutely delicious!! read more

Really good food!!...one of the best middle eastern food joints in the category. The owner is really friendly and keeps you entertained while you wait (if he's around)! Lamb kebab plate was good and filling!..yet to try other items on the menu. read more

We went for dinner on a Monday night. The place was fairly small and definitely hot. They tried to keep it cool with some fans, not so successfully. The staff was very friendly. Three of us got the Azama combo, one with beef and two with chicken and one of us got the grape leaves plate. There was a lot of food for a really great price! The combo had the most moist falafel I've ever eaten and the flavors were spot on. The tabouli had a little too much parsley for my taste. The Egyptian salad or cucumbers, carrots and mintt was fresh and delicious. The shwarma is very different from other shawarma with lots of onions and spices. It is very flavorful! The hummus and baba ghanoush were also delicious. The shwarma was definitely the star for me. I also really liked their hot sauce. We had to ask for more pita 3 times I think. However, I had enough food for two meals. Next time I definitely want to try a rollup. The grape leaves were plump and flavorful if a little bit oily. I'd definitely recommend it. Our Egyptian friend who came with said it was like the food at home. I especially like that it's open until 3 am. read more

It's quick, tasty and cheap. This is one of my favorite spots in Allston. Their roll ups are amazing and huge, they also don't fall apart easily which you would know is a pain if you ate many falafels haha. They're open late and great for pick up I wouldn't recommend sitting there as it does get pretty crowded during peak hours. Amazing choices for vegetarians as well. read more

They should call this place the Schwarma king! Great prices and portions. Open late. It's been said - just go.

This has to be one the best places that I have eaten at... Garlic fries, chicken kabab all five stars

Order processed at 7:54pm. Food showed up at 9:48pm. 1h 8m after the estimated time. I am a less than a 5 minute drive. Picked a bad day to be lazy. They offered me nothing - problem with prepaying for food as most restaurants will give you it for free at that point. They gave me nothing extra and the driver explained to me they accidentally skipped over my order. Great explanation. read more

Very friendly and good employees! I ordered the burger, but they don't sell burgers anymore, so they called me and asked if I want a wrap instead. I thought it was very nice of them, and the food is very very delicious. Support this company :) 10/10 stars!!! read more

Amazing wraps and baklava!!! I get the chicken shawarma with humus and falafel. Best wrap I've ever had in my life. Not only was it the best, it was the cheapest too. This is not a place one can afford to miss. read more

The best chicken shawarma in Boston, hands down. Egyptian fries are amazing too, and with a soda and desert ALL for $10? Nothing beats Azama in my opinion for shawarma in the city, and I've eaten at many places throughout Allston, Brighton, and Downtown. read more

Very good food. Had the chicken scwarma and it was wonderful. Extremely inexpensive but with surprisingly generous portions. Don't miss the baclawa for desert. read more

Azama is the best. Affordable, delicious, open late, and wonderful staff.

Great food for the price! Veggie platter was tasty. Pita could be heartier, balance of tabbouleh/salad/hummus could be lighter on the fatty purées, but overall very good for the late-night craving. read more

Azama Grill - Veggie platter -- tabbouleh, salad, hummus, baba ghanouj, falafel, pita. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Food was good, but not as great as I had anticipated. The lamb was a bit chewy. The fries are amazing!

This place is hit or miss. I always get the chicken pita wrap. When it's good it's good, but sometimes the chicken isn't good. I love how they put pickles in the wrap though. Everyone there has always been friendly as well. read more

Got char burnt kebab, I think they should not serve "rock burnt" beef. Not clean kitchen/interor yet food is not cheap. I prefer the one across Harvard Ave.. read more

YELP - YELP -YELP - Wowee! The food is incredibly delicious - such a great place - my friend and I were amazed at the great food we had!!!!! Everything was really really terrific - You will be so happy - drunk with food. read more

Azama grill was great! The food was excellent and the service that they provided was great. You could see that they were really trying to make every customer feel special. Their falafels are special. The veggie dishes were very good- would highly recommend foul mudammes. They had run out of the lentil soup though which was a pity- well we will definitely be back soon to try it out. The chicken shawarma was very fresh and served with a lot of green salad (just the way we like it). It was reassuring to know that they are not new to the restaurant business since they own more grills back in Egypt. Try it out and you may stop going to shawarma king. read more

I am actually very impressed with this place after I gave it a second chance, definitely one of my new favorites!!!

Awesome food, amazing hot sauce, nuff said

Awesome since it opened. Great food, open late, and the best shwarma in the area!

Got a falafel wrap and a plate of chicken with salad and rice. It was very affordable and they made everything fresh! This was my first time trying Middle Eastern food and this sure won't be my last!! Delicious!*** I can't wait to go back for more!! read more

Been coming here for two years now and its about time I write a review. The falafel is absolutely amazing, never dissapointed when I come here. The fool and tabouli is amazing. There is great veggie options here for veg people. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking to try some middle eastern food. I come from a middle eastern back round my self, this is one of the best exotic mediterranean food joints around. read more

Decent choices for a veggie like me...lovely falafel..filling portions..and it's cheap..what more could I ask for?!

Simply put. Best halal in the city. I make sure to tell them this every time I go in. Nothing fancy about this place besides the food! 10/10 Lunch, dinner or late night this place is the BOMB! read more

I recommend the Azama combo if you're unsure of what to order. It's a bit of everything from the menu, it's baba ghanoush, hummus, taboule, salad and your choice of shawarma meat to choose from, lamb/beef or chicken. Fast courteous service and a lot of good food for a low price. read more

Being from Detroit, I'm very spoiled when it comes to middle eastern food. The pros of this place definitely outweighed the cons. Most importantly, the food here is cheap and the portions were generous. I got a lamb kabob wrap and my bf got the chicken shawarma wrap, and an order of hummus. This cost less than $20 and was way too much food to eat in one sitting. The gentleman running the place (I think his name was Emanuel) was very friendly. It was a bit of a wait for the food, which is good because it means it was made to order, not chucked on your plate from a steam table full of dried out crap. Accordingly, the chicken shawarma was moist and flavorful, and my lamb was cooked just right. A welcome change: 100% of the shawarma I've had in boston has been pathetically dry. The Hummus was very unique--it had a really nutty flavor that was delicious--perhaps a family recipe. The chickpeas were not shelled when making it, so it didn't have that super smooth texture I prefer...but since NO hummus in boston is like this, I'd have to say it's my favorite so far. Also, the business hours of this place are outstanding! The cons: We ate our food there, and while Emanuel was super friendly, the dining room was FREEZING! And there is no music...Emanuel is a great whistler but when I eat middle eastern food I'd rather hear some old school Amr Diab ;) My only actual complaint about the food itself is that the lamb was cut into chunks that were too big for a sandwich and it was difficult to eat, but that being said, it's probably why it was not overcooked. So really it's the lesser of two evils. I'd definitely order food from here again, but I'd try delivery since Emanuel says they deliver to central square! read more

This place is great. Their baba ghanoush is some of the best I've had, and their portions are very, very generous. I make it a point to order from here at least once a month. I also recommend the Egyptian fries and the Foul. read more

Hands down my favorite place to eat in boston. Awesome shawarma, falafel, humus, etc. Staff is very passionate about sharing their cultural cusine--was there with some friends and they asked us if we liked eggplant. We said no, and they said well you gotta try this spicy baba ganoush anyhow and gave us a sampler of it while they prepared our orders. It was, of course, delicious, and made an excellent appetizer as well. Very glad to have tried it. I've brought a few friends there who wouldn't normally eat adventurously and have made converts of them all. Don't forget to bring home some baklava! read more

Excellent Ful. (The website claims they have Egyptian(Turkish style) coffee, but they don't.)

I ordered rice and meat (chicken and lamb), I love the food, and I enjoyed! Thanks guys! read more

Read many reviews that said they delivered to Cambridge and other areas, but when i ordered from Newton (10 minutes by google maps) they cancelled my order saying it was too far and then hung up on me. Definitely won't be going here anytime soon. read more

I was just so super super excited to see a Middle Eastern restaurant in Allston again, and I could't wait to try it... and I finally got my chance. I love nothing more in life than a good hummus and tabouli wrap (spell those as you may) and theirs was very good and at a ridiculously good price. The workers are very friendly, and the service is very fast. So far I've had 2 hummus/tabouli wraps, and the second one I complimented with a side of grape leaves, which were also delish. I don't eat meat, so I can't comment on that, but I'm just so super pleased to have a really good Middle Eastern restaurant nearby!! Please everyone go to it!! read more

Went to the Azama Grille the other night after reading about it in the Globe. We got there early since it's a small place and were able to choose any seat at the L shaped counter. The people there are warm, friendly,and . very hospitable. The food was very tasty. I had the veggie combo platter and my wife had the fish kabob. The latter was a bit of a misnomer as it was a fillet of salmon, rather than grilled pieces in pita, but it was grilled well and tasty. The veggie combo was excellent. All the food was reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back and try some more. read more

I went to this restaurant on Sunday with my husband. I really liked the service. The staff were very friendly. I also thought the food was very well prices especially the hummus and baba ghanouj compared to any other restaurant. I used to eat at SHawarma KIng but as a vegetarian I can not justify eating a mezze plate with falafel for $ 11. I prefer the Azama Grill one for half the price. I'm so glad this restaurant opened up. It's healthy, and delicious. read more

So, just a warning, tonight all I had was the chicken shwarma wrap. After seeing this nice little grill a few times, I had free time and decided to stop in. I asked for a shwarma wrap, one of my favorite Arab foods. It was ready pretty fast and the service was friendly and cool (even though I was being a d-bag on my phone half-way through the order.) Anyway, I got it, took a bite, and it was good, not great. Honestly I've had better, but the places that I used to frequent are no longer there. I WILL go back and try some other dishes and update my review. On a plus side, they are open til 3AM EVERYDAY and deliver. Also, all their food is halal (aka kosher.) Also, I'm not your typical American, so I know my Middle Eastern food! read more

I thought the food was not bad. It was very pricey though. Service was friendly. I ordered lamb kabob and the portion was huge. I think what would help is smaller portion with fair price especially located in allston with lots of cheap college kids. read more

my girlfriend and I have been getting falafel all around the brighton allston brookline area. I'd say we have pretty high standards for a good falafel. Id say azama really beats them all! Things I take into account...cant be dry, small (who wants a tiny little roll up?) and flavor. Get azama's falafel roll up with hummus and their house made hot sauce..cant go wrong. Their hot sauce alone keeps me coming back...its amazing. Plus they are super nice guys. I just got my wisdom teeth out and the dude suggested grape leaves as a nice and soft meal...they were delicious and he got me a cup of warm water and salt so I could wash out my wounds after I ate...how cool is that.?! read more

My 2nd time there and the food still amazing , the people behind the counter are friendly and awesome , i love that place and the open till 3 am on the weekend... read more

FIrst off, in response to Jane D. this is my first Yelp review. I hadn't heard about Yelp until one of the guys at Azama asked me if I had an account. The night I went to Azama's I actually was intending on going to Garlic 'n Lemons, but they were closed (10:30 pm). This is one of my favorite things about Azama's, they're open late, and since I usually don't get home until around 10 it works out perfect. The guys who work there are friendly and the atmosphere is great. If you're looking for a cheap, filling, late-night meal, this is the place to go. The lamb shawarma is great, and there are some delicious vegetarian options. If you're wandering around allston around 1 am and fiending some falafel, check it out. read more
