We got take out and the kushari is so good!! The restaurant makes their food at a good pace. We ordered a lot of stuff so there was one mistake, but the owner handled it well and we got a refund! First time I had Egyptian food and really like it!

Falafel plate
Michelle W.

So glad we found a late night shawarma spot nearby! Prices are reasonable and they're open until 2AM on the weekends. We got the falafel plate and the chicken shawarma plate. Portions are generous and the plates included hummus, pita, salad, rice, tahini, and garlic sauce (for the shawarma)! The falafel was crispy and perfectly seasoned, some of the better falafel I've had. The chicken was juicy and flavorful and paired well with the garlic sauce. This food definitely hit the spot and we'll be back to try more things on the menu!

Food: Hawashi

We recently discovered Kushari and Grill closer to Tufts University. We ordered the Hawashi and Mixed Grill. Both items were delicious and provided a generous portion for a very fair price relative to the broader Boston/Cambridge area. I'd definitely return and try out their menu again. I also appreciated the offering of a white/garlic sauce in addition to tahini. For some reason, most Boston area middle eastern restaurants only typically offer Tahini if anything! Note: The entire menu is halal according to the signs posted.

Falafel plate

Personally, from an outside background, these arent my preferred food of choice. my friend who is from Egypt really enjoys this food and says its very authentic. I personally got the grape leaves and kafta kabob plate. the food was alright, i just had to take off a star because they took so long to make my food, i think i waited like 20min just sitting. 1) grape leaves: served cold, is filled with rice, with a tangy taste 2) kafta kabob plate: juicy kabob, comes with a bed of rice, and some veggies/salad that i did not care for. the hummus was good, and it came with pita bread. overall-- i cant decide if i want to come back.. i wont leave a bad star review because i want to support small businesses, but this was the best i could do..

Chicken Shawarma Plate, huge portion! The falafel is probably the best I've ever had.

I think they do a really good job with their Egyption cuisine. One of the things I love the most about this place is the fact that they make really good falafel. The falafel's or not like hard frozen rounds that have no flavor and are hard to bite. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and just bursting with so much flavor and they sit on the bed of pickles that complement the falafels really well. I also highly recommend the chicken Shawarma because it has so much flavor and the best way to maximize on the taste is to have it in the wrap. The beef kebabs have a nice smoky flavor and the rice is also great. It's a combination that makes you feel good after you eat. I also really love their garlic sauce. It's fantastic and they never skip out on the portions.

It'd show u a pic but we gobbled it.

I had a reservation here and when I arrived there would be a short wait for inside or outside…read more(which was kind of cool that night) or immidately at the bar. Okay, for a solo adventure I chose the bar and yes, they took me to a seat there. Looking at the menu I knew it was tapas style going in but before I could really start looking at anything the bar tender said, "or, there's a chef tasting." Okay, stop there, let's just do that and add the meat and fish option. To start was the Strawberry Fattoush - Little Gems, Cucumber, Pomegranate Vinaigrette, Pita Chips, Sumac - amazing. Next was the Warm Buttered Hummus - Basturma, Tomato, Black Olive. Still doing great! Then the Fried Mussels - Hot Peppers, Turkish Almond Tarator Sauce. Can't say I have ever had those before! The Spinach Falafel - Tahini, Beet Tzatziki, Pickles was next. Though you could roll it up, eating it that way was pointless. Back to the knife and fork. After that was the Grilled Asparagus - Sorrel Aioli, Puffed Black Rice, Bergamot Honey. Probably the most familiar looking dish of the night. Then the Sultan's Delight - Tamarind Beef, Smoky Eggplant Purée, Basil. Aamazing! Still going after that was the Swordfish - Nettle Freekah, Red Pepper Tahini, Buttermilk Fried Fiddle Heads. Then finally the Turkish-Style Profiteroles - Brown Butter Crème, Sesame Caramel Cashews, Halva with something else on the side. All of this with a Shepherds Pilsner which I believe is my first brew from Palestine. Who knew that was possible? Needless to say, the meal was quite an adventure. Definitely worth it. All amazing as was the service at the bar!

Went to sit at the bar for a solo dinner…read more The service was very prompt, and they provided a lot of good recommendations. They were also great about letting me sample things before deciding on a drink! This has been on my list for a really long time, and I had seen Oleana frequently recognized as one of the best restaurants in Boston, so I was pretty excited to finally go. I have to say I wasn't blown away but also not disappointed. The portions were absolutely miniature for the price. The zaatar bread was very fluffy and the spread was flavorful but nothing I would order again. Similarly. The fatteh was one of the most reviewed dishes online. The flavor was unique but ultimately fell a little flat for me (basically tastes like lightly cooked cauliflower with caramelized onions, and a light creamy sauce). I will say the one thing that I felt like really did live up to the hype was the Sultan's delight (short rib)- it was truly so good. I liked the marigold and my glass of wine but the limited liquor license certainly restricts their offerings. Ambiance was nothing too unique. Overall, I would probably give this close to like a 3.9 but rounded up.

The menu changes often, which makes me wish I lived closer so I could visit regularly. We ordered quite a few dishes, and the portions were perfect for sharing. The fresh bread was an amazing start to the meal, and the sugar snap peas were a standout. Since the menu is always evolving, my recommendation is to ask your server what the chef is most excited about and order it. You really can't go wrong. This was a memorable dining experience, and I hope my next visit won't be too far away.

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
