    I would definitely recommend Daddy Jones! Came here for a work dinner and they were extremely accommodating to our group of 10. The service was friendly and fast. And the food was delicious. I had their chicken gyro and my friend gave me one of her falafels to try. I wolfed down the entire gyro! The one thing I wish they had was cider on draft! I tried one in a can - see the pic- it was OK but not my fave! Regardless, I'm planning on bringing my hubby back. :)

    Came here for date night and my husband asked how we haven't found this hidden gem sooner! Our waiter was so great, service was excellent, food and drinks were delicious. The ambience was nice and loved their choice of music. We ordered the spanakopita, triple dip and rice/falafel large plate. All delicious! Can't wait to visit again.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the breadth of the menu at Daddy Jones, which was unique, interesting, and all sounded incredibly delicious! My group of three had the Gyro Souvlaki Platter, Keftedes Sliders (includes 3), Falafel Fritters (also 3), DJ Threeway, and Lemon Potatoes. The souvlaki was definitely the star, and the keftedes and falafel were also good. Ultimately everything was satisfying and the waitstaff was AMAZING. But we felt the dishes all fell a bit short -- they seemed undersauced (I would have loved more than just a hint of the fig honey on the fritters!), and while I love me some carrot dippers, we were underwhelmed by the $16 veggie plate. (I would at least hope for a LARGE portion of hummus when ordered!) The lemon potatoes also seemed a bit over-fried. My friends had been to Daddy Jones before and fondly remembered it, particularly a mac and cheese on the menu (I'm mentioning in the hopes they'll bring it back!). They also did not remember the three TVs on the walls, which don't seem to match the classy, chic vibe. I'm listing a lot of negatives, but overall I did enjoy my visit and I would absolutely return to give it another chance and try other menu items. They also have bingo on Tuesdays at 8PM and trivia on Thursdays at 8PM! Not crossed off my list just yet.

    Nothing particularly special, but a solid greek salad. Not entirely sure the vibe they're going for--pretty classy interior, but three TV screens, two of which had sports and one with anime. Will definitely be back to check out the other offerings.

    Mr Jones and me tell each other fairy tales. We stare at the beautiful women. Pass me a bottle, Mr Jones! Everyone calls you daddy Jones for a reason. Entering Mr. Daddy Jones' establishment you are taken back by the groovy vibe that encompasses the atmosphere. In the back there is a large mural of a cock, i mean Worcester, i mean rooster. Honestly, i don't know how to pronounce that name. Regardless, a beauty mural on the wall and adjacent, a vibrant TV playing Bob Ross showing how to paint your own mural. The restrooms are non binary, so you feel the freedom of not having to be oppressed by social expectations and norms. Daddy Jones is above it all. Whatever your pronoun, we are all welcome here. The bar: well kept and fully stocked. No matter your get down; gin, whiskey, vodka, tequila... A spirit for any spirit. No shanking a vato here. Selection is amazing and the pours are generous. Staff is genuine. They love being there and made me feel at home. Had a great conversation with John, bartender. Well versed and eloquent, never shyed away from any topic. Arlett is another amazing bartender, knows her drinks! Asked for a suffering bastard and made this bastard feel like there was no reason to suffer. Hallelujah i been cured! Food: hands down like a dashboard confessional, made me feel vindicated. Loved every morsel of everything we ordered. Honestly we ordered all the appetizers and each were great, but what stood out from the items were ordered; Chris' Burger. The burger was juicy and made to order. Medium well. Nice and color was perfect. The spicy aioli was the perfect contrast between the caramelized onions. The bacon gave it the right amount of crunch. I had to get the name of the cook who prepared this meal, Milton! I asked Milton to come out so that I could shake his hand and parade him with a great gesture! I had to give him a hug because the burger made me cry and i promised myself i wouldn't. Bravo Milton! Mr daddy jones and me starin at the video, when i look at the television i wanna see me starin right back at me. When you come to daddy Jones' you will feel like a movie star. And you will somehow hit with nostalgia without even breaking a sweat.

    DJ is that friend who is cool, but also knows he's cool, so he doesn't try all that hard. But you still love him. Cuz he's cool. We walk in on a Monday evening, ask for a table for 4, and the host points at a few inside. We say, "Are there any on the patio?" "Go back there and look for yourself." Alright then. We go out the back & up some stairs to the patio, and it's pretty packed for a Monday. We find a table and steal some high chairs from others. After sitting for a few minutes, we realize there are no waiters to be found. So we head to the outdoor bar where you can order drinks and food. This guy was awesome! He gave us samples of drinks so we could make our decisions (which all ended up being Springdale's Pearly Wit which was on tap) and was also super patient despite our indecisive food decisions. After ordering, we received a painted wine bottle with a number to stick on our table and indicate where our food should end up. Then we waited. For what seemed like a really long time. However, the wait was made much better by the beers, nice outdoor atmosphere, and the random 80's flick they started playing on the large inflatable screen (today it was the 1987 movie Mannequin, which we didn't even know existed, but thoroughly enjoyed laughing at). Finally, our food arrived in two waves. Bacon-wrapped dates (hot & tasty! great mix of sweet & salty), spanikopita (flaky & spinachy in the best ways, accompanied by a yummy yogurt sauce), grilled lamb (literally just a plate with grilled lamb pieces, would not consider an actual appetizer), Mac Daddy (mac & cheese with bacon, nothing too special), moussaka (Mmmmm. Those spices tho!), and the sweet potato fries with feta & honey (SIMPLY HEAVEN). We hung out with DJ longer than we were expecting, but the time went by quickly, and overall we really enjoyed it. He's def one of the coolest guys I know.

    So excited for this Athena Burger sided with Sweet Potato Fries, Feta and Honey

    I ame here because this place caught my eye before quarantine and I'm happy to know they reopened. They're ordering set up is pretty unique and is mainly outdoors. You'll be getting up to place your order at the window. Most booths seat 2 which have cool wallpaper backgrounds for a fun time taking photos while you wait. Although packed with an appealing Greek menu I was please to find that they have Dominican dishes which brings me back home to NYC. I'll be coming for that another day. I liked the idea of the Athena Burger, a Lamb burger dressed with LTO, red pepper and feta dip (I skipped the bacon). Accompanied by sweet potatoes fries -- dressed on feta cheese and then they recommended drizzled honey and it couldn't have been better planned. The food was delicious, the beer was good and I'll be back for some Spanish food. Thanks guys my girlfriend and I had a great time!

    Can't believe I've been living in the area for over a decade and never thought to check it out…read more Ironically, I only discovered this place because I had to park nearby and walk nearly 3 blocks to the Mediterranean Grill which proved to be an underwhelming experience, but noticed this place due to the "Zagat rated" sign in the window which piqued my interest. Well, sometimes the best things happen by pure chance...and thus I came back to try out this place a couple weeks later, and found it to be far and away the best Greek/Mediterranean food I've ever had in the entire greater Boston area! It's easy to see why this place is Zagat rated. Easily beats out bigger, trendier and fancier-looking, much pricier "Greek" places such as Zo Greek in Somerville's Assembly Square (review upcoming) as well as the more downmarket hole in the wall places like Falafel King. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. Loved the Sampler Plate for two, everything on it was absolutely scrumptious and next time I might order one just for myself so I don't need to share it with anyone else, hahaha...really brings out your inner greedy-S.O.B.! Also loved that their fresh-cut french fries are actually pan-fried, not deep fried...first time I've ever encountered that anywhere in this city, and they were also crazy good...instead of just tasting the oil as happens with deep-frying (especially if they are frozen fries with that yucky mushy cardboard texture) you actually get the full flavor of the (gasp!) POTATOES, and do not need to drown them in ketchup or salt the living daylights out of them. Truly a "homemade" experience! We tried both the "Greek" fries and the regular fries, both were rave-worthy...and this is from someone who normally avoids fries in restaurants because they are usually made from tasteless frozen potatoes. Lamb kebab and moussaka were also excellent, as was the baklava and galaktoboureko. Baklava outside of the Mediterranean and Middle East tends to be very mediocre and overly sweet...not here! Lastly, it's a beautiful and charming spot. It doesn't make any attempt to be trendy or gimmicky. Just has a warm friendly ambiance, which also describes the service. Can't recommend this place enough...will definitely be one of my regular go-to places!

Chicken kebab plate: chicken was spiced fairly well but hadn't been properly brine or marinated so it was rather dry. Lamb kebab plate, first it was 4 chunk of meat which were about half the serving size at most other restaurants. The lamb was extremely chewy with lots of connective tissues. One of the four was so bad that it was inedible. Low quality meat and lack of proper marinading to compensate for it. No reason to return when there are so many other options right nearby

Our waiter was amazing, checking in constantly, making sure we had everything, and just genuinely happy to help. Even the week leading up, we called with many questions since we were a large group.

My only tiny thing? I wish the bowl was a bit bigger so it was easier to mix everything without spilling. Also tried the lemon juice drink and wow, so good. There's something about drinks in glass just tastes better, I don't know why.

I had the All Star gyro, which had mixed pork and chicken and the meat was a bit dry. It was a huge portion and I prefer halloumi over feta, but it could have benefited from more acidity and zip, as there was barely any tomato or onion (added extra) and the tzatziki was not very flavorful, not much garlic or dill. I was too full to try the loukoumades but they looked good. Service was okay, a bit lukewarm. Overall this place has big portion sizes, a comfortable space and late night hours going for it, but don't think I'd go out of my way to return.

    For my own birthday this year, I chose Oleana, supposedly one of Boston's best Mediterranean…read morerestaurants, and reservations are almost a month in advance. Overall, I was satisfied. Fatteh: The presentation was beautiful, with a delightful array of layers. Between two layers of crispy chips laid the chewy texture of fried mushrooms, the sweetness of cauliflower, the nutty aroma of pine nuts, and the refreshing sweet and sour taste of yogurt--a random combination that offered a different experience with every bite. The cauliflower, in particular, was crisp yet not tough, with a naturally gentle sweetness--a first for me. However, towards the end, the crispy chips became very slightly oily. Sultan's Delight: Perfect as a main course. The beef was stewed to perfection, incredibly tender and flavorful, almost falling apart the moment it touched the knife. It required absolutely no effort, reminiscent of a master butcher skillfully carving up an ox in Zhuangzi莊子, who kept his knife like new over nineteen years. The tamarind brought a slightly fermented, tangy aroma, while the smoked eggplant puree, likely babaganoush, was smooth and creamy with a mild, pleasant smokiness. The lemon juice, however, adds a refreshing touch, creating an interesting layering of acidity. It looked small, but it was surprisingly satisfying. The only downsides were the beef was slightly over-salty and the basil leaves, which seem to serve only a decorative purpose. Baked Alaska: A signature dessert, very popular on social media. Frankly, I came specifically for this, but after eating it, all I can say is, "Who's promoting this?"... The presentation was truly stunning, and the first few bites were quite good. The meringue was was torched to create a thin, burnt crust, resulting in a delicate and light texture, while the coconut ice cream blended with the bitter aroma of coffee. However, the base, a nut tart similar to a five-nut mooncake五仁月餅 filling, was too dense and heavy; the passion fruit syrup was excessively sweet and acidic, even a small amount was cloying, making it a torture by the end. The restaurant tables were a bit uneven and hopefully they will be repaired soon.

Something seemed off, in-authentic, shallow. just read a few reviews many of which seem to validate this burnished image and reputation. finally last Saturday night it was no longer an option to avoid an experience. There was an event to celebrate and I was invited. the propitious moment was hoisted upon me. would it measure up or be a mirage in the desert? Having never dined there I had no real experience to compare it with but for a Turkish-Mediterranean place it felt like all sizzle, no steak. While there are too many things to take issue with the most obvious is the wide discrepancy between the quality and quantity of portions relative to price. Under any circumstances the food was uniformly entirely unexceptional outside the fact it was consistently mediocre to poor. Tasteless, unimaginative, inappropriate cooked, greasy, ,lacking authentic spicing, and decidedly NOT presented for purposes of sharing. It is a deceptive approach to call it Tapas like and the predominant theme from our "primary waiter" was spend more money. The commercialization based on its reputation was frankly embarrassing and reason to cross it off a "must visit" list. Reminded me of a visit to Eastern Standard a few years ago. I have to imagine refined diners must have a wistful "used to be good attitude". My one and only trip made me feel like I was swindled at a Casablanca bazzar.

I would recommend calling beforehand to ask about the wait. Although we commuted from Cambridge, this meal was worth it. For two people, we got: - Black Seed Cornbread: it's soft, sweet yet savory. I've never had cornbread like this, and the first bite into this was unforgettable. You must get this. - Honey Nut Hummus: this was honestly fine and I'd probably try a different dip next time. - Warm Gyro bread: well seasoned and great to share between two. I normally don't like gyro but I enjoyed this. - Lamb al pastor: this was a favorite. It was sweet and the lamb was tender. We were really impressed with the sauce. - Brussel sprout bravas: this was okay. I liked the crunchy nuts and the star of this dish was once again the sauce/seasoning rather than the brussel sprouts.

Reservations were already fully booked for the next month out, so we decided to take our chance and see if we could get bar seating around opening time. It was already pretty packed 10 minutes after opening, and the host told us that bar seating would open up in about an hour, but we would have to wait at the restaurant. Meanwhile, the wait for a table would be almost 2 hours, but we would be notified when our table is ready so we put ourselves down on the table waitlist and went elsewhere in the mean time. We came back after 2 hours, and the table was ready exactly then! I ordered some sort of Mango Mocktail and then my friend and I shared the Black Sea Cornbread and Roasted Sunchokes. Food is very unique with creative twists on all their dishes. The cornbread was delicious - it basically melted in my mouth and I liked how it actually had a kick to it. Very tasty, but just a tad bit salty. I have never had Sunchokes before but they were delicious! Very colorful presentation. A lot of the sauce was at the bottom so it could have been mixed more evenly. Mango mocktail was sweet and refreshing! Overall, Sarma has great, flavorful food and plenty of vegetarian options. Very difficult to get reservations so either plan well in advance or arrive right at opening time
