    They label their subs here!
    Jay B.

    You guys know I had to get at least one more new place in the books before the new year kicks off. And what better place to visit than a hole-in-the-wall local joint, amirite? Btw, for those who might be wondering about the lack of check-in here, that's due to wifey's propensity to continually demonstrate to the world why she is considered my better half by graciously picking up our take-away order. So, small disclaimer here: all photos at the time of writing this review have been taken from inside my living room. Anywho, this one's pretty straightforward. Whilst looking over the menu and easily spotting like 3 other items I wouldn't mind eventually trying, I went with my all time favorite - the steak and cheese. And overall I gotta say....the steak and cheese ain't half bad! The seasoning was actually spot-on to the point where I'd rank them about a 7 out of 10. I just wish they'd actually sautée their mushrooms instead of, like....merely warming them up. The fries were....fine. Though you may want ketchup on the side if you prefer that sort of thing and really find the need to disguise the otherwise prosaic taste and flavor. Like I said, they're fine. They just aren't anything especially earth-shattering. 6 out of 10. Looking over their menu, I get slight "Amphora" vibes, what...with all the kebabs and whatnot. Gotta say...I wouldn't mind finally discovering exactly what falafel is since I still haven't the faintest idea how to explain that situation, were someone to ask. All that's to say....it appears we have found a new Friday night hot spot to order sandwiches or whatever from when we're far too lazy to cook for ourselves. I'm giving Cedars Cafe 4 savory, sizzlin' steak & cheese subs out of 5.

    Food is made after it's ordered so things take a bit longer. Food is very good. Ambiance is OK; nothing special.

    Ambiance Service…read more Food This place was such a wonderful surprise! Little restaurant in a little town...big time winner! It's so cute, great for a date night or dinner with friends. The service was good. A touch slow on drinks and I think our server forgot to put in one of our meals...it came out quite a while after the rest of the dishes. She was such a sweetheart though and they squeezed us in when they were really busy, so I couldn't dock a star for that because everything else was amazing. The drinks were delicious. The FOOD! Oh my gosh, it was all SO GOOD! Calamari, steak tips, chicken, eggplant lasagna, gyro and baked scallops were all winners. The scallops though! I could go on and on about how wonderful the food was. We will definitely be back and recommending it to anyone who will listen!

The servers and host staff are always attentive and ready to help. Highly recommended!!!!

That's a heavy load to take on and he does a great job at it. Everything is super cheap here and taste great. If you're a student at Middlesex Community college like me. Let's face it, theres days when we're broke and need a place to grab a cheap quick lunch. This is definitely the spot. Pizza rolls: I love these things. He made them perfectly and you can tell he hand rolls them himself. And they're only a $1!! Double cheeseburger: BOMB! I'm so picky with burgers. I don't give a shit if it's messy looking, lets be real. If it tastes good, it's serving it's purpose. I'm super picky and customized it as I liked and he accommodated it. Thank you! Not many places do! Fries: perfectly crunchy. Not soft and soggy like most places. Maybe a little less seasoning. I know not a lot of people like spicy foods. But I enjoy it. Chicken Kabob Plate: my boyfriend and I split this because of how big it was. We ordered it with extra rice instead of the usual side of salad it comes with. The owner offered us either Indian or Spanish rice. We went with the Spanish and it tasted great, it even had vegetables in it. The chicken was nice and juicy with grilled peppers and onions. The rice and chicken had a nice kick to it. Not too spicy and just flavor. Chicken and Fries (not pictured): My boyfriend devoured this. The chicken is definitely not anything like crown fried or Jacqueline's chicken. The owner literally uses his own recipe. My boyfriend loved it and the chicken looked really fresh and juicy. He swallowed the thing before I even got a chance to take a picture of it lol. Please go visit guys! This little place has so much potential. It might seem a little stand off it by the looks of it but it's worth going in and trying it out The owner is so sweet, he even offered my boyfriend a free banana milkshake while he waited for the food to be done. Thanks Jimmy! Try it out! You won't regret it !

I ordered a traditional pork gyro ($12.95) and small order of Greek fries ($6.95). Note that the menu lists the price of a full size of fries but you can ask for a half or small portion. I paid at the counter, took a seat, and heard my order called up within 5 minutes. The pork gyro's pita was nice and fluffy (hate it when it's dense), fries had some Cajun-esque seasoning, and the pork was tender and juicy. The Greek fries tasted like fries, with feta cheese and a tangy white sauce. Overall, decent for a casual meal. Not looking for the zenith of gyros here, so it works as a local place.

The star of the show was the spanakopita. The crust was flakey and light and the filling to dough ratio was perfect . My only qualm would be that the Tziki lacked pickle and tang. The shop itself is small and quiet . Nice decor, good place to go to get some work done or a quiet bite with a friend . Overall I rate my experience 9/10.

I had an…read moreawful experience here and cannot see myself coming back, especially for the prices they charge. Perhaps we caught them on an off day, but it was bad. There was only one other table when we arrived. We ordered and waited about 10 minutes. Lentil soup was brought out. It was okay. 10 minutes later, we received our grape leaves... that cost $14.99. We were given four pieces (see photo). That's pretty outrageous. But okay, noted- we'll make sure not to order that next time. Another 10 minutes later, my partner received his falafel wrap. It just wasn't that good. It was pressed so there's no crispy falafel, just squished texture. It also wasn't flavorful at all. I'm waiting for my dish (grilled fish), and by the time my partner finishes the wrap, I see the waitress bringing out grilled fish... which she promptly gives to a table that just sat down. Another table starts to walk out because it's taking so long, but the owner stops them. I let the owner know that I'm ready to leave because my partner is done with dinner and I'm done waiting. She assures me that my fish will be out within 5 minutes. Eventually it comes out, but at this point I'm been waiting for about an hour, everything was brought out so slowly, and the food just wasn't that good. Well the fish and rice was fantastic - great flavor for both. Devoured the whole thing. We also ordered baklava, and again.. disappointing. Too much syrup and soaked to the point of being gummy. This was about $80 for everything. Although the fish was good, I can't handle the bad service and disappointing food.

Originally hailing from Casablanca, Morocco, Chef Rafiq is a graduate of Boston's Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts. After working at several Boston restaurants, Rafiq decided to start his own food truck. Chez Rafiki's serves authentic Halal Mediterranean cuisine made with fresh local ingredients. Some of the menu staples include falafel, chicken shawarma, gyro, kofta, and salads. Chez Rafiki's travel all over Massachusetts bringing their delicious food to various craft breweries, festivals and private catering events. I recently enjoyed some food from Chez Rafiki's at Tree House Brewing Company in Charlton. I was visiting the brewery with my two-year-old son and we decided to get some food from the food truck. I was excited to see that Chez Rafiki's was the food truck that day because I love Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine. After looking over the menu, I decided to order Chez Rafiki's Special: the "Chicken Killer" (Rice, Fries, Chicken Shawarma, Pickled Red Onion, Tomatoes, Lettuce, Garlic Sauce, Feta Cheese). I also ordered a side of Falafel. I absolutely loved the Chicken Killer; a symphony of Mediterranean flavors and spices. My son has never tried this kind of cuisine before. He wouldn't touch the Chicken Killer but he absolutely loved the Falafel. He happily gobbled down half of the Falafel balls. I would definitely order from Chez Rafiki's again if I saw them at another brewery or festival.
