Flavors are great, but... Portions are small for the $$. Bowls are really small for the money, and they're not as advertised: So here's the problem: "Falafel Hummus bowl: 15.00 Homemade falafel cooked to order ((served with pickles and Moroccan salad)) over homemade hummus and fresh pita. Vegetarian. Vegan." The food described in the parentheses--was not included. The bowl was basically like a side dish, Not a complete meal. Not sure how these guys are keeping such a hi rating. read more

Sadly my husband and I really disliked this restaurant. We just finished now and toss out more than half the food. French fries covered in salt. Like even in the bottom of the take out box was crystals of salt everywhere. Then the pita for the beef lamb gyro was dry. The beef was overly seasoned. The hummus has a weird body odor kinda smell. The best place around is the mediterranean Turkish cuisine. Near the Y and burn fitness. Anyway wish it was better. I also never wrote reviews but this sucked so bad I had to. Sorry read more

Everything was so so so delicious. We ordered take out before seeing a movie. We don't live in the area so we picked a spot based off reviews. There isn't any in-store seating, it's a super small spot with a counter to order. The woman working was so nice, welcoming and friendly. The food was all so fresh, very flavorful and delicious. We were missing the two tzitziki sauce we had paid to add on, but it was fine because everything was delicious. We were so glad we tried kous-kous and we will definitely be back. The chicken is so flavorful, not fatty at all. The seasoning was perfect. The cucumber tomato salad was so fresh and crunchy and the tomatoes were perfectly ripe. The rice was perfectly cooked. The hummus was the best I've ever had. So light, so comforting. Nothing was oversalted, it was all seasoned perfectly. read more

kous-kous - Chicken Shawarma Tray - Middle Eastern Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

Ordered on Uber eats! Got the mix chicken and beef shawarma plate, it came when rice, hummus, falafels, and a tomato cucumber salad. It was very tasty, both meats was tender and flavorful and the rice was delicious! I ordered some pita on the side with both the garlic dip and the saffron aioli. All the dips was good. Got a side of fries but they were pretty soggy by the time it arrived. Baklava was flaky and is one of the better ones I had in a while! read more

Very small store front that could be easy to over look, definitely worth a stop! I ordered all small dishes/sides to-go for lunch so I could try a bunch of things: lentil soup, grape leaves, and a side of pickles. They were very quick to have the whole order ready and everything was very yummy! read more

kous-kous - Mix Plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

Always great! Love the mixed grill shawarma. Also do great job with catering plates for larger gatherings.

Kous-kous is a flavor paradise! I think they make their own hummus, so light and wonderful. The kebabs both chicken and beef/lamb are the best I've had, and I have loved gyros for 30+ yrs, try this place, if you like this kind of food, amazing!! read more

I got the gyros & soup combo, finer lemonade and falafel. They all tasted so good even after 6 hrs (I had a tattoo session so the food was just chilling there). Small joint.. definitely be back when I'm in that area. read more

Pretty delicious meals but I wis it had more spices. I felt like it just needed a bit more, especially the hummus. We had the cauliflower shawarma which was pretty good and a couple of side dishes as well. Once again, just needs a bit more spices since it felt like it was missing. read more

kous-kous - a close up of a plate of food - Middle Eastern Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

Dry, bland chicken shawarma plate. They also took significantly longer than expected to make my order with Uber Eats (an extra 40-60 minutes) and forgot the tahini completely. Salad was warm and had a poor taste, and the garlic sauce was chunky. Hummus and falafel was fine. read more

kous-kous - Chicken Shawarma Plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

We were looking for a quick delivery near Framingham and stumbled across Kous-Kous, and it was a fantastic find! We ordered the eggplant pita, the chicken shawarma fries, and one of the combo plates, and all three were absolutely delicious. The meat is tender, the falafel is yummy, and the sauces/flavors are excellent. The eggplant pita particularly caught me by surprise; I've had many veggie wraps before, but this was delicious. I will absolutely be ordering from them again. All of the food kept well in transit and tasted very fresh! read more

My first time trying this place I got the chicken shawarma plate which had delicious, juicy chicken, killer homemade hummus, perfectly cooked rice, and a great, fresh cucumber salad. The second time I got the mixed pita, which had braised beef, chicken shawarma, falafel, cucumber, hummus and other yummy stuff in a pita. This wrap was huge and super tasty for only 9 plus bucks! read more

I wanted to eat Mediterranean food. And I did not want to step out the house. So found Kous-Kous on the Yelp. I placed my order on Grubhub. And the food definitely exceeded my expectations. Their cauliflower shawarma plate was fabulous. It comes with salad on the side which was fresh and delicious. And their hummus was mine blowing. I also order falafel on the side which was pretty good. All in all it is perfect place if you want you want to good Mediterranean food. read more

I ordered Kous-Kous catering for a party because they have a GREAT vegetarian spread! Everything was perfect. Lots of people raving about the baklava. Hummus and falafel were everything you hope for. Not salty, great cnsistency. Will gladly order again read more

So Kous-Kous just opened at 40 Hollis Street in Framingham where Sabor de Casa was. In fact there sign is still up and the phone number still comes through as such. I was their first customer. On to the food. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate with yellow rice, pickles, grilled marinated chicken and the most wonderful eggplant dip. Seriously good all around. And, the owner threw in some of their hummus. Nothing says Middle Eastern hospitality like 'Here, try our hummus.' read more

This place is SO tasty. Ordered on a whim from Ubereats and so glad I did. Food is super fresh and portions are really big. Food came quickly and was honestly some of the best food I've had in the area. Highly recommend the shawarma!! read more

I support small businesses and decided to do take out from Kous-Kous last night. The interior is TINY. Three steps in and you're at the counter that separates the kitchen from the front of the space. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate. The chicken consisted of very small pieces of what I believe was thigh meat. There wasn't very much chicken in the dish and it wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be, but I am not too knowledgeable regarding Mediterranean cuisine. The chicken and rice were dry. Maybe there wasn't enough tahini on it. As another reviewer stated, there was also too much parsley. The Mediterranean salad consisted of cucumbers, onions and tomatoes. I would have liked this to have been on the side. I didn't realize that it was placed on top of the shawarma. The hummus and eggplant dip were excellent. The woman who waited on me honored my request for the pickles to be on the side. The interior of the restaurant was extremely warm at 5:00 PM. If you place a walk-in take out order, you may want to wait outside until your food is ready and then go inside to pay for it. read more

I've ordered from here many times and every time I'm blown away by how delicious it is. The kofta is my favorite, it's so tender and flavorful and is almost as good as my Egyptian mother makes it. Unfortunately nothing will ever beat her food, but this is a close second. The woman who I think runs the restaurant is efficient and very kind, and offered me a free mint lemonade on my second visit before it was on the menu! It was refreshing and you can tell it was made in house. The basmati rice is well seasoned and moist, the braised beef is melt in your mouth tender, and overall they do a great job! I recommend giving this place a try for authentic mediterranean food. read more

Second time here. I can't recall the first time, but that's probably because it wasn't memorable. This time I noticed that all the menu items say that they come with Tahini, and that the Platters come with Eggplant Dip. It's right there on the big board above the counter. Neither was included in my Kofta Platter order, and of course by the time you get home and discover that - it's too late to do anything about it. I did notice just now that the online ordering menu apparently doesn't list these as being included, but I ordered in person off the menu in the store. Still, the focal point of tonight's Platter was the rice -- it was dry to the point of being almost crunchy, either undercooked or hastily reheated, but not good either way. I doubt I'll be back. read more

Food is very tasty. I really like the chicken shawarma, and falafel. Take out only.

Meat in the mix kebab (beef and lamb) was stale and tasted horrible. Was really looking forward to the mix, very sad how it turned out.

We got a take out today. Shawarma Wrap and Falafel . This is nothing like Mediterranean food. What they called shawarma is a roll up with hummus grilled, ( yes hot hummus! Grosse) there chicken and tabouleh salad, this wrap, which tastes weird . There is no garlic sauce no chilli no fries and the chicken seasoning isn't the same as usual. If you have had shawarma in Boston or any city, you know what I am talking about. It's said said you judge a place by its falafel. We got stone hard falafel, they were dry and cold. Their hummus with it was ok. I dont see this place doing well and probably out of business soon. You've been warned! read more

Got the cauliflower shawarma plate and added on a falafel. My husband got the mix plate of chicken, beef, and falafel. Everything was really delicious! The falafel was nice and crispy on the outside and had good flavor. It's also a lot of food! Very glad to have this hole-in-the-wall vegetarian friendly place in downtown Framingham. We will be back! read more

I love it! Great food, nice employees. It's only a takeout restaurant so it doesn't really have a place to eat inside, but that doesn't matter to me. I got the falafel shawarma and platter and it was pretty good. I'd like to see this business succeed. Update: Beef shawarma and tzatziki sauce are delicious aswell. read more

The food is fresh tasting, and so good! I tried the Chicken hummus bowl - chicken spiced beautifully, just the right amount of salad with pickles (yummy). Lots of hummus ... which made my day! The pita is more standard not fresh... but honestly if heated, it turns out better cause this one stays soft longer. I think if I was eating-in, a fresh made, warm pita would be preferable. My husband got the chicken shawarma plater ... so it came on a bed of rice, with salad and hummus on the side. He added harissa (loved it. I found it a bit too tangy for me). Said that's gonna be his GO-To order. So 5 stars for take-out! Looking forward to trying more stuff off their menu! read more

The food here is amazing. Definitely best to place your order ahead of time, they're slammed. read more

Super duper good food and service. The owner answered the phone earlier than his opening time which was very nice of him. My food was done 7 minutes after opening. You can't get service like that anywhere anymore! I ordered the mix plate which included chicken and beef shawarma (topped with tahini), yellow rice, eggplant dip, a cucumber salad, 2 falafel and hummus. All for $12.75! The chicken was tender, the rice cooked to perfection, the hummus was creamy and the falafel was the best I've had to date! The cucumber salad was fresh and tasty (maybe a bit too much parsley) but delicious nonetheless. I had problems with the beef being too fatty. The actual meat was juicy but full of fat and was burnt on the ends. The eggplant dip was unique. I would expect it to come alongside a southern style dish as it had grill-like smoky BBQ flavors. It was interesting but I'd much rather see if I could swap that for another falafel. Those things were so full of flavor and just lovely to dip in the hummus. I will be back to kous-kous ASAP! read more

Ordered through Uber eats so I won't count the cold food against them. However, the food was not fresh, the chicken quality was very ooor and the hummus had virtually no flavor whatsoever. I would not order from here again. read more

The food was tasty and ready quickly. It was a bit more expensive that I had anticipated. It's a small shop with seating for one. The proprietress was very nice and welcoming. read more

DELICIOUS! Our team had a delivery through a corporate meal service, and I came here to review both places because it was so delicious. Fresh, flavorful, plentiful. One of my favorite meals from this service so far. read more

The food is ok. It's not 100% middle eastern. The beef shawarma was cooked and not hot or warm. The falafel was dry. The Fattoush salad was not what is is. It was fresh garden salad but the veggies was fresh. The service was nice and the lady was nice. Ok food overall. Won't be my first place to go to read more

Never disappoints! The Chicken Shwarma, the braised beef, their hummus all that I have eaten is absolutely delicious. I was chilled and wanted soup, so I tried their lentil soup [never had before- ever]....So tasty and dipping the pita in the soup...really hit the spot. The staff is very responsive and the owner is extremely nice. Very lucky to have such a wonderful place in this area! read more

Cauliflower wrap was amazing as was the chicken kebob- it was very well seasoned and a generous portion. The falafel tasted freshly made and warm, but I didn't live the spices. I think this was my personal taste as my husband liked them. Sides if rice, salad, and eggplant were all delish. We picked it up and parking can be tough on the street (route 126) so keep that in mind if you are doing takeout instead if delivery. We will definitely add this to our regular rotation if takeout! read more

Really, very good food. Ordered 2 mix plates and a mix wrap. I ordered in person so it was fresh and took 10 mins tops. The shawarma plates didn't have lettuce like I'd had at many others so I was a little disappointed, but the rice and meat was great. Tzatziki sauce is also extra, if you're accustomed to that on a shawarma plate you'll have to ask.. Will order from here in the future, soon. read more

TLDR: FOOD GUD. BEST IN THE AREA IMHO FOR THE PRICE. RECOMMENDATIONS: CHICKEN OR BEEF SHAWARMA PITA STYLE WITH GARLIC PASTE ADDED IN. SUB CAULIFLOWER FOR VEG OPTION. 2nd time here and just as good as the first. Ordered the chicken shawarma platter with a side of garlic paste (extra $1, but worth it). I had the pita the first time and it was incredible, so not surprised to find out the platter is also as good. The rice wasn't the best, but it's also not terrible. It's what I would expect from a place like this, yet the rest of the food exceeded expectations. I also tried their fries. The fries are standard, but the green remoulade dipping sauce that I got with it was delicious - it tastes like a tangy, lite tartar sauce but it doesn't have any relish/pickle bits in it. Very smooth and works well as a dipping sauce for everything, not just the fries. Staff is always friendly and hard working. It's a small spot, so don't expect to dine in. It's designed for takeaway and deliveries, hence the terrible parking options available. This place beats Garlic n Lemons and Falafel king by a country mile. Highly recommend getting a pita first, as it's plenty for a single meal. Platters are large enough to share or have as 2 smaller meals. Price is affordable and worth it. Thankful to find a great shawarma/falafel joint around Framingham! read more
