Grabbed a lamb shawarma platter for lunch-- it was a super filling portion for two. The stars were the shawarma and the hummus; the lamb was juicy and very flavorful, while the hummus was smooth and paired well with the rest of the platter (salad, yellow rice with peas and carrots, pita). Service was fast. Tables fill up quickly around lunchtime but folks rotate through quickly. read more

This is one of the best shawarmas we have had in New England so far. (We previously lived in providence to years). We get a chicken and a lamb shawarma. Both are filled to the brim with veggies and deliciously seasoned, juicy meat. They are huge. While my fiancé can finish his, I usually can only finish half. I wish they came in sizes because it doesn't reheat the best. My only gripe is their "hot sauce" is actually more like a very mild garlic sauce... also delicious but really I'm used to a fire-y sauce to elevate my middle eastern food. Location wise, it is on a very busy street so parking at times can be difficult. This doesn't stop us though because my fiancé craves shawarmas pretty much once a week. read more

Located between Northeastern and Symphony Green Line train stations, this mostly take out spot is great for a quick bite to eat if you are at the MFA! Definitely would recommend the Huskie special ($11 w/o tax) that comes with a wrap of choice, French fries, a falafel ball, and a soda/bottled water. The lamb and beef I will definitely order. The kafta kabob was more like a burger slider, but still good. There are several small tables/chairs and there are hand sanitizers on each of the tables/counters. Business were swift and a constant stream of customers. Food was prepped to order. Ordering is easy and they accept credit card/cash. read more

Enormous portions... for $16 you basically get a whole to go container filled to the brim. Got the chicken shawarma plate. Everything tasted really fresh and it includes everything you could possibly want - falafel, rice, greens, pita, etc. There's barely any wait time on most days too. read more

I was craving a shawarma on this day and decided to try Boston Shawarma. I got the chicken shawarma with a side of fries and wow, it sure satisfied the craving. Price point is fair, I believe I paid about $15 for both - a huge serving. Ordering was a bit confusing, so I'm not sure I got the garlic sauce on mine, so a suggestion I have is ensuring you get the sauce you want, as well as more pickles. read more

We got the Mix It (Lamb & Chicken) and Go Combo (Lamb, Chicken, & Kafta) Plates. Both plates came with fries, but one set of the fries was cold and super stale and the other one hot and crunchy. I'm not even sure what they were thinking when preparing our plates. I would've been more satisfied if both fries were stale to be consistent. The portion sizes are definitely generous here and although the meat was juicy, it lacked flavor. The garlic sauce was also not as creamy and tasted a bit spicy. The guy working at the cashier also wasn't very friendly. I was a bit annoyed after ordering to find out that there was a 3.99% charge for using credit card. They do have a small sign, but it's easy to miss and it would've been great if they check if this is fine when customers order. Also, there is a sign that says you get a free water bottle when you order a plate. The cashier taking our order didn't even tell us this and we only realized it later. read more

I love boston shawarma! I've been coming here since 2015; their falafel sandwich is my favorite falafel I've ever had. It's crispy on the outside yet flavorful and creamy on the inside somehow; and the sauces are so flavorful. Highly recommend for an affordable yet delicious deal! (They even include a free soda with each order) Update: you can only receive a free soda/beverage if you order in person, not online :( read more

Absolute beauty. Wonderful shawarma place in Boston. It has insanely big portions and for a decent price. If it were a little bit less pricey for the vegetarian option, I'd give it a 5 stars. Strongly recommend. read more

Love the food in here always!! I've only gotten the plates so far. But when I'm In a hurry, I only get sides or veggies and it's always good and fresh. Been here only a couple of times so I don't really have that much to say! It has a good location which is in the middle of downtown. Very accessible by train and it's right on the street as well. There's street parking too if you're lucky but there's pi alley garage across the street too read more

I got a chicken shawarma plate, beef patty and walnut baklava. Chicken shawarma plate was okay, huge portion, enough for two. Beef patty and walnut baklava were the worst I ever had. Those were stale and felt like a week old. Don't rely on google and yelp reviews as they give free baklava if you leave a review. The service was not great and I will not go to this restaurant again. read more

My partner and I got hungry and decided to stop inside on a whim while passing by. It was a great decision! The staff was super friendly. Plus, the food was great and there was a lot of it! Out of everything, we liked the lamb (in the picture) the best, especially with the sauce. Would definitely recommend if you're passing by! read more

Boston Shawarma - Lamb plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Food: Awesome. Portions are generous as well. I only wished that they had the hot sauce or the option to add it? I haven't dined in, so chances are they have it for dine in or something. Service: meh. It's quick. Ambience: Beware of the steps going in and out of the store. I frequently miss the last step , but that's totally a me problem. However, the place is run down and kinda dirty. Not complaining, just a note. read more

I was introduced to this place by a friend a few years ago and have been coming ever since. The space is a bit cramped when it's busy during lunch and dinner times but I've also gotten my meals to-go. My go-to is the Chicken Garlic Mayo sandwich, which never disappoints and is more than enough for one meal, especially with a complimentary soda on the side. Their plates are also massive and easily gets me two meals out of it. The service is friendly and quick and I definitely plan on returning! read more

The guy at front has no clue, rude and gives weird annoying looks, saying " this place is very busy, so he doesn't want to toast bread". I wonder if you don't listen/oblige customers then what are you busy with! I never seen such rude response from any restaurant. I still give him a 10% tip for rudeness. read more

I usually have the lamb wrap on every trip to Boston. Excellent value - great food and amount for the price. If extra hungry, go for the plate which is also a great value. Meat pie or spinach pie makes a great snack. Delicious food and great price. Great for take out or eat-in. read more

Got the chicken kabob dinner plate for about $13. Very good portion. I couldn't finish and I had just come from a workout. It's enough for two people I think. Pretty good Shawarma. The main reason why this is not getting a 5 star is because the seating is awful. Lots of flies flying around makes it unbearable to eat inside. I recommend take-out since the dining in part isn't ideal. read more

My go-to place for shawarma. I always get the lamb sandwich, but my friend tried the dinner plate and enjoyed it. The lamb is a but salty though, so I usually have to drink water before finishing. I wish they had some more vegetables in it to balance it out a bit more, but still a solid place. read more

Great food overrules the mediocre ambience. We had chicken and lamb shawarma dinner plates. The service was swift. The shawarma is the best I've had thus far. The portion sizes are huge, suffice easily for two meals. I even earned a free Baklava for writing a review What I liked that unlike other free stuff their free dessert was of standard size and great quality. Definitely going back read more

I've been customer here for about 6 years and their food and service are always consistent. I usually get either dinner(lamb/beef) plate or avocado sandwich to go, and baklava sometimes when I feel like eating sweet stuff. I am not the shawarma expert but I can tell these ones are good compared to the other ones in Boston. I really like baklava here, it's just right amount of sweetness and has a great texture. The portion is very generous(I usually can divide one dinner plate into two meals). All the employees here are quick at receiving and preparing orders and you will get food your meal pretty soon after your order. I love that they give you free drink when you order any sandwich/plate. There has been price increases but I think it is reasonable and still very affordable, sandwiches are usually $8 and dinner plates are $12 including tax. Right now they are doing promotion giving out free baklava when you check-in(yelp or google), so make sure you use that! read more

My friend and I were starving and around the area and decided to give it a try! We wanted a beef shawarma plate but it wasn't on the menu so we went in and asked and the employee working told us we could customize it to have beef instead. She was extremely friendly and even notified us when they would be preparing our meal. The food looks great and is such an affordable price I would definitely recommend my fellow college friends to stop by. Also I love the avengers poster they had outside (it's what originally caught our eyes and made us decide to eat here!) I can't wait to go back read more

i've been wanting to try shawarma for the longest time and am so glad that i finally got the chance to do so here! -the inside of the shop is kind of small and only has around 5 medium-sized tables. there isn't any outdoor seating. -you order at the cashier and then wait for your food to be made, which only took about 5 minutes for us during weekday lunch hour. -this place also accepts northeastern dining dollars! 9/10/21 -chicken shawarma sandwich: this sandwich is filled with onions, lettuce, tomatoes, grilled chicken, pickles, and tahini and garlic spread sauce. the initial bites were quite flavorful, but it did start to get bland after a while. the chicken was a bit overcooked, but quite flavorful. the entire sandwich was about 7-8 inches in length, so it was a really filling meal. the cost including tax was about $9.62, which is fair in my opinion. (3.5/5) overall, i'm really happy that i gave this place a try! i might see myself coming back in the future to try some of their other sandwiches, since they're pretty reasonably priced too. i'd highly recommend that you must try their chicken shawarma sandwich! read more

Awesome Little Shawarma place with lots of choice. While they have vegetarian choices, I enjoyed my Soujok, spicy enough for a little kick but no sweating. Use the hot sauce on the table to amp it up. Sweet and savory pastries also available, including spinach and feta pie and beef pattie with turmeric infused crust. I am told that this is *the* place to come after hours for your post-drunken revelry Shawarma. read more

Greatest shawarma in Boston! This is my 5th time when I have a lunch or dinner here. Location is perfect, very convenient to find this place. There is a huge variety of dishes, plates and salads. Very good for pick up and deliveries. Quality is above and beyond. The shawarma itself is very juicy, fresh and tasty! It is my favorite place and Will recommend it for everyone!! read more

Delicious and quick - two critical characteristics for a shawarma restaurant in my opinion. Boston Shawarma is neat and clean and a varied menu - chicken, lamb, kafta and falafel. It's hard to go wrong here. read more

Pluses: Good cheap and cheerful (as the Brits say - aka "no Atmosphere). Good Schwarma and the plates are overflowing with rice hummus, salad, chwarma and fries) Negative The place is freezing - literally see your breath inside -- in the winter and crowded all the time And the falafel was obedient (tough) and tasted overly herbal to me Overall Keeps you expectations low and you will be happy here read more

Price is good. Good portions for the shawarma platter, quite a bit if you're a hungry student. Recommended. Only downside is that pita bread came cold and hard. Not fresh. Overall a 3/5. Maybe better places nearby read more

Chicken Schwarma: surprisingly bland with dry chicken - I had to put hot sauce on it when I got home so that it would have some flavor. The tortilla also became really soggy the next day so not good as a leftover. Walnut Baklava: These though are amazing!! Huge baklavas, great flavor, probably the best I've ever had. This is a small somewhat grimy shop near the BU and Berklee campuses so it's definitely a college student late-night spot. I wouldn't go out of my way for the food but if I was in the area and craving sweets I'd come for the baklava read more

Went in to try their mixed plate! Great portion for 2 people (or two meals). Found that the meat and falafel was a bit dry, but the salad helped out to balance the flavors. read more

Picked up a spinach/feta pie and a walnut/honey baklava one night for dinner. I reheated the pie in the microwave and oil was dripping from it. Definitely not healthy in any way. And the pie was very soggy, even on the inside. I don't think it was very fresh. The flavors were okay but I found a piece of hair in my pie. Not very appetizing. I'm a huge fan of baklava and in all honestly, I was disappointed. It tasted way too sweet and it was soggy as well. I'm not sure if it's due to these covid times, but their food isn't too fresh. Sad, because I had high hopes for them. read more

Came here around lunchtime on a weekday. I ordered the lamb dinner combo which seems to be a popular choice since it comes with lamb, fries, salad, rice, pita, hummus and spicy sauce. The portions are huge and it includes a drink just for $10.99 plus tax which is great value for downtown Boston. Sadly, the taste was just mediocre at best. My salad was definitely not fresh, it was soggy, discoloured and wilted. read more

Excellent Mediterranean food and great service! The zataar at was so delicious and something that I had been craving for a while now. The chicken and lamb shawarma a was great as well. The baklava for dessert was absolutely dreamy. My one aside was there salad recipe. It was a standard salad with Italian dressing rather than the traditional Mediterranean salad I'm accustomed to encountering in Mediterranean restaurants. read more

The food is very well priced. Next to Northeastern University, the place is perfect for students trying to go out on a weekend night to enjoy a bite to eat on a budget. I got a sandwich and a drink for under $9. Every order comes with a free drink which still amazes me in a city like Boston. As far as the food, I had the falafel sandwich on the vegetarian menu. The sandwich was good no doubt however, it could have used more flavor. The falafels were a little bland. Their menu has a larger variety to fit all kinds of people and I can't wait to go back to try more! If you're deciding on going to Gyroscope next door, or Boston Shwarma, you can get more for the bang of your buck here. read more
