Incredible Persian food!!! So fresh and delicious!!! We got a feast here on New Years eve. Wow!!! Everything was perfect!!! Boston has a bunch of great Persian restaurants but this place is the best!!! read more

This is a neighborhood jam. The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable and good service. Highly recommend this place.

Hands down, the best falafel I've had in an around Boston!! The food was packed with care and was warm when we received our order. It was my first time trying the spinach pie, and it did not disappoint. :) read more

I recently ordered takeout from Mediterranean Grill thru GrubHub. The restaurant is about 5 minutes away and the order arrived on time. I got the Kashk-o-Bademjan and the Mediterranean Mixed Grill. Both were tasty but I have to say was only lukewarm. I'm a bit spoiled by living in the Washington DC metro area with great Lebanese, Persian and Middle Eastern food. Anyhow both dishes were tasty and I would order again. I wished the Mixed Grill came with the grilled onions that I've seen in other Yelp photos. For those of you concerned about take-out packaging, the food arrived in plastic #5 ecopax containers, that are PBA/PFAS free. read more

Mixed feelings. The quality is great, but unfortunately the price went way up and the quantity half what we usually order. Instead if 2 portions of the meat it's one now and less rice. Wh i h does not make sense esp if you don't tell the customers about the drastic change. Unfortunately, it's not worth ordering from there again. read more

Not only is everything we ordered delicious, but plentiful. Meats on skewers are tender, juicy, and flavorful, the eggplant dish is yummy, and the lentil soup is delicious. Glad to have these guys so close by and would recommend without hesitation. read more

This is the second time we ordered takeout from this place since its grand opening during COVID. The staff is very nice and got some really good food! *Recommend: 40 - Baghali Rice w/ Lamb Shank: the lamb shank is REALLY juicy and flavorful, a must-try here in my opinion! However the portion is not quite balanced, way too much rice for the regular sized meat. 1 - Homemade Hunnus: good, not great *Not-so-happy with: 2 - Kashk-O-Badenjaan: a sophisticated eggplant hummus dish. Kinda too sour and minty. Not to my best taste. Pita: kinda hard, cold and dry. I will skip the wrap next time because of this. Plates are the way to go. read more

I highly recommend the chef's specials section of the menu, which include Persian favorites such as Addis Polo with chicken and Zereshk rice and chicken. Delicious and huge portions. This is half of my order today. I will get a second meal from it. read more

I ordered on their website for delivery. Time was mid morning. Their delivery time options started at 11 am. I chose 11:45. I got a call at 11:30 informing me they had just opened and that they could not get my food until 12:30. (Their website should not have the option for delivery before 12:30 if it's not possible... just sayin') Since I was ordering for my team at work, I told her that 12:30 was unacceptable, and that 12:15 was better. She agreed. In the interim, I received an email at 12:15 that one item was unavailable and that they were taking it off the order. Okay. It was tabbouleh, and they shouldn't have been out of such a simple Mediterranean staple but okay. Then I got a call at 12:15 telling me that their driver had blew their tires out (All of them?) and they would not be able to deliver until 1 pm. WHAT? 45 more minutes?!?!? They are 3.5 miles away from here. I told her that our food would be cold, and that my team's lunch would be over. She replied with "It's not our fault!". I don't care who's fault it is, but it didn't seem like they were trying to get our food to us in any hurry, and I told her so. She reiterated her assertion that they were not at fault. Again. I still don't care. She said, "We will keep your food warm". AKA Dried out. She said that would not happen. I am dubious. I told her that at 187 dollars (!!!!!) for the order, it BETTER be Phenomenal! She didn't even offer to reduce the price. Anyway, I finally agreed to keep the delivery at the new 1:00 time, which is one hour and 15 minutes longer than I planned. Eventually, the food did arrive at 12:50, 10 minutes "Early". They included an extra baklava (The best baklava I've ever had!) and a cuke and tomato salad. The shrimp was great, the chicken was not dried out and very flavorful, and the beef and lamb were moist and flavorful as well. Both were a little more done than I would have liked, though. ALL sauces and dips were amazing, and they served a lot of bread to accompany. We had Ghormeh Sabzi, Hummus, Baba-ganoush, Mast-O-Khiar and others. All in all, I'm giving 4 out of five stars for the food. It should have been 5 of 5 if it had arrived hot and fresh, and I'm sure it normally is. If this review was for service only, I'd give a 3 of 5. To be fair, they only recently opened and are ironing out some kinks. Also to be fair, they communicated very quickly about every delay. I'd say they came through in the end, and I will definitely try them again! read more

Very cute and small place that's near the Somerville bike path. The staff were really friendly and the food was great!

The food was excellent! One of the best Persian foods in this area hands down. The beef koobideh, Mediterranean salad, basmati rice, and the sauces were amazing. Don't forget to the get the baklava, it's the perfect bite size and not too flaky so it doesn't fall apart. Y'all will see me more often! Wowoow read more

(3.5 stars) I just find the food here wildly inconsistent, ranging from "best lentil soup I've ever had" to "canned lentils with some salt thrown in." Same with almost everything--goes up and down. (A window into why that may be came from one visit when I asked about oil used in hummus and waiter said "normally olive oil, but today canola oil.") read more

I really enjoyed their food. The chicken and beef were cooked well, not dry. The food was not salty and had good flavor. We ordered twice. However, the second time we did not get our food. Im blaming the grub-hub delivery person and not the restorant. read more

Very glad I came to yelp to figure out what to order. I got the lamb shank (pictured) and it basically fell off the bone. So soft and flavorful and delicious, and paired very well with the mint rice on the side. Would love to come back here again. They do dine-in and take-out, and we sat outside in a sunny spot. Great find! read more

The employees/owner? are so so nice both over the phone and in person. They are patient and flexible and immediately brought water to my dog and brought my takeout outside after ordering! The wraps were delicious and tasted so fresh. We had the falafel and chicken kabob. We will definitely go back to try more as well as sit outside. read more

Truly delicious Persian food. Appetizers (hummus and mast mousir) were flavorful and pita was fresh. Chicken kabob had a bright lemony flavor with good seasoning, kubideh was excellent; salad was fresh and tasty. Honestly, some of the best Persian food I've had. read more

Delicious! Ordered the beef Barg, beef koobideh, and chicken kebab. All excellent! Get the dill rice with it!

I love this place! Food is delicious, always ready super fast, and nice people who work there too.

I don't understand why there are so many good reviews. I came in yesterday and ordered no 51 on the menu- beef sirloin chunks with eggplant in a soupy sauce. I was served an incredible amount of rice- more than 3 people's servings with not a lot of sauce to go with. Meat dish was not very hot. Rice was bland and too soft. Overall don't recommend and place was completely empty when I went on a Saturday evening. read more

Wow! Such fresh, simple but well considered food. Great Lamb kebab, perfectly cooked, delicious rice. Great salad and the dressing has some mint in it and is perfect. Good hummus just a little on the salty side. Thrilled to have this in my neighborhood. Looking forward to trying some of theirless traditional food, i read more

So good! The lamb shank and rice were absolutely delicious. Koobideh and barg were very tender and flavorful. The restaurant seems really clean and they have a spacious outdoor dining area. Highly recommend checking them out! read more

I love this place. We have gotten mostly takeout but everything we have gotten is good. The chicken wraps, kebobs and plates are excellent and super tender. I like there falafel wraps, plates and salad. Going healthy try the falafel salad which is the best I have had. I get a couple extra falafels with it. They also have a very dense salad made of mostly cucumber and tomato called a Shirazi salad which is out of this world. While waiting for my order I saw there baklava and ordered some. Yummmmm. read more

Easily the best restaurant in Boston area. Clean and delicious food. Service is spectacular. Please don't go though, I like the place to myself! read more

Small family owned business. The staff is always kind. They serve great affordable sandwiches and traditional Iranian food. Would definitely recommend! read more

Tiny and ugly place, bad food, good service. cleanliness not the best. probably the worst mediterranean food I have ever had. whats wrong with the review rating this as the top 10 for this top of food in Boston - FAR FROM IT! read more

The food is great very authentic, but the service is terrible. Time & time again my husband and I have been to this restaurant & always left disappointed with the service but went back for the food. My husband says it's an Iranian thing, I say it's bullshit service. The last time we dined in, the older Iranian waitress was not attentive, she was rude and spiteful. Really bad experience, she made my order a big issue & at the end she made the salad herself & filled it with onions it wreaked of onions. It's unfortunate that this place has such terrible service. read more

I had a craving for some Mediterranean food and decided to try this place. The server was very nice. The lemonade was really good, the grape leaves and borani were fantastic. The veggie combo plate was a decent size and it's nice you can pick what you want. I'd definitely come back. read more

Everything we ordered was phenomenal. Delicious barg and koobideh kababs, zereshk polo with chicken (grilled), and shirazi salad. I'm really happy I stumbled upon this place today, and will definitely be going back. read more

i don't know how you can order a $75 meal with a platter and some additional appetizers including hummos ... and receive NO pita. And the menu on grubhub doesnt let you order pita or add notes. This is a ripoff!! read more

I love this place. The food tastes very fresh and tasty. I order from here every week - never disappoints.

great food with lots of protein! the staff was realy nice and friendly . will definitely go again

Best Persian food in Massachusetts. Reasonable prices compared to Molana and the meats are cooked better. Molana smear is burnt.

Food is good and the staff is friendly. Note that some of the food pictures on the menu do not match the name written under the food. The waiting staff is not a native English speaker so just ensure that she understands what and how much are you asking for. I would visit again. read more

In my opinion this is the best persian style kabob that you can find in Cambridge. They used to be in downtown Boston, but recently moved to Cambridge and I am so happy that I can go there more often. read more

We discovered this little gem during COVID & have gone frequently for the past 1.5+ years. Best humus in town. Service is amazing. They have kept their prices as low as they can considering current inflation. It must be good because almost every time we go we see, and often speak to, other customers who originate from the same area as the owners/staff. Persian. Turkish. Lebanese. We now live mostly on the west coast, but we spent May in our Belmont MA home --we went 3 times in 3 weeks. I have tried many items on your menu and all of it has been fresh, well-presented and served with abundant pita and gracious servers. Please open a restaurant in Santa Cruz CA! Our middle eastern food needs your consult. read more

Eh. Nothing bad but nothing great either. Our party had two lamb dishes-both a bit dry and chewy. Other dishes were average. Menu gave us higher expectations but they didn't pan out. Will not be back read more

The food has exceptional flavor and this new place offers an excellent value. The beef barg kabob was tender, delicious and cooked to perfection! I highly recommend the falafel and the Baklava to complete such a perfect meal. The owners are warm and friendly. I will be back soon! read more

The best Persian restaurant in Boston right now. Everything is made fresh and with with care. The kabobs are cooked perfectly. Baba ghannoush is excellent. And, within walking distance of my home! read more
