This (kinda) new place is a great Mediterranean place to eat in the North End. The ambiance is calm and relaxing plus the music in the background was perfect. The server was attentive and the desserts were good! I'll definitely go back to try other dishes. Side note: One of the few restaurants that serve you room temperature water, finally a place that has common sense! read more

Food was amazing! The hummus was delicious and the pita bread warm. The avocado toast was tasty and my friend loved the Shakshuka. Servers were super friendly. Loved this place! read more

Food was ridiculously flavorful. Went with 4 people and ordered 4 small plates 4 entrees and the bill was under $250...that's also partly because it's a BYOB spot - which is super dope and I love that there's a different option from Italian in the North End neighborhood. The staff felt like they were close and family and it was a chill spot with good traditional Arabic music to still enjoy conversation. read more

My friend and I came here for brunch without a reservation and got very lucky to be seated right away. The food was delicious, the service was great and full of personality (in the good way), and everything was reasonably priced. The vibe of the restaurant is casual and welcoming. I can't wait to be back for brunch again! read more

Mood Restaurant & Cafe - Mediterranean eggs (with Greek yogurt mint sauce, burnt chili butter, and pita) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Delightful benedict with delicious hollandaise and high quality eggs with a perfect poach. Sautéed spinach is a lovely touch on the smoked salmon benedict (which I otherwise often find to be slightly dry and plain in other places). The brioche toast is a wonderful twist vs english muffin; perfectly toasted to be slightly crisp, adding a sweet finish to the savory flavor profile. The option of a mixed greens side salad with a delicious vinegrette for no extra charge (or fries, if you prefer) really rounds off this brunch to give a light and healthy touch instead of feeling heavy. Benedicts are one of my favorite meals; I have had at least 50 and probably more like 60-70 different restaurant's benedicts, and this is probably the best I have ever had, and certainly the best when taken as a full package (side salad, service, ambiance, wait time, and TOOK RESERVATIONS!) Even the table water served was high quality. Absolutely amazing. read more

Absolutely LOVE this restaurant for any meal of the day. This time we went for brunch and everything was so full of flavor and very unique. We didn't get anything with meat this time, but for those interested: their meat is halal! I especially loved Fatima's tea (And Fatima herself is incredibly warm/friendly and truly cares to make sure her customers have a great experience). 10/10 --highly recommend! read more

This place is great! We went for dinner, and we were very impressed with the quality of the food. The Greek Fries were phenomenal - loved the flavoring of the cheese and olives on them. We also got both the lamb and beef kabobs, and the lamb in particular was excellent. The pita was freshly made and the sauces were phenomenal. The lamb was fresh and tender, and you can tell that everything is made with high quality ingredients from scratch. One thing to note is that they don't serve alcohol...but it is BYOB so you can bring your own wine or whatever you want! A nice change of pace from all of the Italian in the North End, and the food is extremely high quality and delicious. read more

Best food I've had in Boston. this hidden gem is cute & cozy with a nice ambiance. we ordered the cauliflower, fried zucchini, chicken & lamb chops. our waitress was lovely & was really accommodating with my nut allergy. the food presentation was beautiful & the taste even better. bonus that this place is BYOB! will definitely be back. read more

What a wonderful place! Tye food was so amazing, the team was so accommodating and helped us with one person in our party was gluten free. Plenty of options. The don't serve alcohol but you can being your own. Give this place a try and you won't regret it. The hummus and swordfish were perfect with great grilled veggies. And don't miss desser. read more

Visiting from LA. Best food we had in our 8-day trip to Boston. Everything we ordered was excellent. Hummus was AMAZING. The beef kabobs, chicken, and fish were among the best middle-eastern dishes we've had in the US. They are still in the process of obtaining a liquor license, so you can bring your own bottle. Fatima, the chef's wife, hosted us with warmth and pleasant conversation. Next time we are in Boston, this will be one of our first stops. read more

It's a cozy place with good quality food. Everything is halal. I ordered the sea bass which was served with fresh (made in house pasta). The pasta was so good. You can tell it was fresh. The sauce on the pasta was flavorful but I felt it was a little on the oily side. Still delicious though. The sea bass was cooked to perfection. Crisp skin and delicate texture. It was also a decent sized portion. I brought my appetite so I was able to finish the whole thing. I didn't order appetizers. The cost is on the high end but I thought it was worth it. Everything was presented beautifully. The service was excellent too. Their virgin drinks are fun too. I ordered the pink lady which paired well with the sea bass. Really delicious. Definitely not your average pink lemonade. It's smooth. My friend ordered the watermelon salad which had an amazing dressing. The watermelon was fresh not at all watery. I'm sure the croutons help with that. She also ordered the chicken with sweet carrot and cauliflower mash and Hibiscus tea which she enjoyed. She really liked the cold hibiscus tea. This place would be great place for a date or just to celebrate. All in all we enjoy our time there. Worth going back. read more

Mood Restaurant & Cafe - Sword Fish Kebab! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I stopped by Mood Cafe & Restaurant in the North End recently. Surrounded by many Italian restaurants, Mood Cafe & Restaurant is a casual sitdown Mediterranean eatery serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner and they offer takeout as well. The place has table seating in the front window and along the right side wall. There is also seating up at the coffee/espresso bar. I decided to eat in since it was very muggy outside and this place was a nice spot too cool off. I took a seat at a table next the front window. The server gave me a dinner menu to look over. I decided on the Chicken Shish Kebab ($21 plus tax), which took about 20 minutes to be served. This dish had tender pieces of marinated chicken, crispy onions, garlic aioli, dried berries over 2 steamed khinkal (cinnamon rolls). This kebab dish was unique since most places serve kebabs with rice and this plated dish had cinnamon rolls. The chicken pieces had good flavors. After I was done, I requested the check with Toast QR code, which came out to $22.47 with tax and before tip. I paid online and I was good to go quickly. as I headed over to Hanover Street for some tasty cannolis for dessert in true North End fashion. read more

This restaurant was a hidden surprise! I got the egg's Benedict and the kids got Nutella pancakes and French toast. My husband got the croissant sandwich. It was all delicious and made from scratch! I got the Nutella latte holy cow so good. The server was amazing and fun! She made my son feel so special with a special Hot Chocolate. I highly recommend this place. Open windows to enjoy the beautiful breeze. read more

My husband & I and another couple were looking for breakfast in the North End of Boston. We were hoping to find something more substantial than pastry and coffee so we're happy to discover the Mood Cafe. We sat down and were immediately greeted by Fatima, who with her husband owns the restaurant. The menu was Mediterranean- although with a Middle East vibe. Fatima did a wonderful job of guiding us through the menu & helping to make selections. Everything - from the coffees and teas to the mezzas and various egg dishes- was delicious! The accompanying pita was freshly baked and spices were fresh and locally sourced. Alcohol is not served but there are several intriguing non alcoholic beverages and patrons are also allowed to BYOB. Special shout out to Fatima whose welcoming, helpful and friendly attitude sets the tone and compliments the delicious food. Highly recommend! We can't wait to return! read more

I found this spot a bit haphazardly and almost missed an amazing experience in Boston. Great food, friendly and knowledgeable assistance, really didn't take that long (though I heard someone else comment on 15m being too long... and they didn't want to wait - the manager offered them an option that they seemed to find suitable), and was quiet as they've just opened and are one block off the busier street. I would have appreciated something other than politics on the TV (not sure tv is needed?) but that's personal preference. Pita is made in house, everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. Enjoy the food no matter what meal you go for. read more

There's not a lot of space but we didn't wait at all on a Sunday brunch. Ordered the Eggs Benedict and zucchini pancakes. Nearly everyone in the restaurant had the pistachio latte so I tried it too and yeah it was okay, but I'm not a coffee buff. Portions are okay. Eggs Benedict had a pretty good flavor and visual presentation is good. The sauce was savory. read more

My teen daughter and I stumbled across this newly opened cafe today while looking for breakfast in Boston's North End. The ambience was spare but clean and inviting. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The breakfast menu featured a few American & European style favorites plus some Mediterranean style dishes. We opted for the eggs Benedict (called Benedict eggs) and the mascarpone pancakes. Everything was super delicious. The eggs Benedict arrived on slices of Brioche style bread, which we decided was even better than the usual so-called English muffins. The sauce had a hint of nutmeg. The turkey bacon was crispy. The pancakes were a small portion (which we preferred) and great texture. Lovely sauce and fresh berries. The halva latte as well as a cardamom iced latte were spot on too. Like any cafe with made to order food, come in with a patient attitude as you are not getting fast food! Relax and enjoy your beverages. Also, as the place just opened there was no wait at all! Don't overlook this new little family-run gem! Ps They accept cash and cards, and if you set up the Toast app on your phone you can also pay with a QR code and be on your way. read more

Mood is a middle eastern life raft in the sea of North End Italian. The food is simply excellent. The flavors simply fill your mouth with happiness. We had a large group, so we tried almost everything on the menu and everyone kept saying "you HAVE to try this!" The prices are more reasonable than most of the Italian tourist places. The staff is outstanding and we felt like they were our friends by the time we left. This place is not fancy. It is simply a wonderful neighborhood restaurant that you will want to return to over and over. It is certainly, hands down, my favorite place in Boston. read more

What a perfect brunch spot! We arrived at opening and were greeted warmly and given the best seat in the house: the front window with a stellar view of the North End. Hand squeezed orange juice (rich and creamy) and an Americano (great body) came next. We ordered the Provencal omelette and shakshuka with a sticky bun to share. Marvelous all around! The sticky bun was the best I've had - like baklava and a cinnamon bun had a baby. The server was also conscious of our allergies and made sure to make accommodations and recommendations. So: go to Mood for brunch! Can't wait to come back. read more

Family brunch with a college friend. Found Mood online. Delicious food only outdone by friendly staff/owner!!! Would absolutely recommend!!

Visiting Boston and stepped in without knowing a thing. I was warmly greeted by Fatima and sat the bar on a busy Saturday night. The food (Greek fries and Lamb Kofta Shish Kabob) was out of this world and just what I didn't know I was hoping for. Fatima expertly chatted with me while managing multiple roles, and made my experience so lovely and warm. I'll pretend I was upset they had sold out of the chocolate mousse and tiramisu, but honestly, I'd still like my pants to fit tomorrow. Please visit and enjoy this absolute gem of a spot! read more

Amazing family owned business!! The food was AMAZING!!! Totally different style place, but worth trying. We will be back!!

No line to wait in at 7 pm at night, and the best food we have had in the last 5 days of sightseeing in Boston. We started the meal with a complementary order of falafel, which totally changed my mind about falafel! So crispy and flavorful! Who knew? Definitely not me I ordered beef kebab and... wow. 5 stars! Perfectly cooked tender beef served with a hot tomato sauce. It came with carrots, which were on a bed of seasoned yogurt and topped with toasted bread, crumbs, and parsley. Everything paired perfectly. My husband ordered the 7- spice beef patty in the sandwich section of the menu. It came in a hand-made pita which was out of this world, and a tahini dressing that perfectly complimented the sandwich. My daughter ordered the chicken Shawarma and said 10 out of 10 she would recommend it. Wish I could have enjoyed it with a glass of wine (they are not serving alcohol) but another couple was smart and brought their own bottle of wine. We ended with the tiramisu, which was the best I have had in a long time. Amazing food, great service, and adorable spot. Highly recommend checking them out! read more

What a gem Mood was! I had the smoked salmon and avocado toast and hubby had the eggs Benedict with turkey ham. I had the cardamom latte which was such a unique flavor.

Loved the Greek music and great smells coming from the place. Attracted me inside right away. Sadly no alcohol licence in the year they have been here. Their exotic non-alcoholic beverages inspired from Greek and Turkish cuisine were very good. The waitress was very charming and accommodated my food allergies. The cuisine (a lamb dish with pasta) was tasty in its flavorful sauce. The portion was huge, so I took some of my meal home to enjoy later. Despite any setbacks I encountered I would go there again. read more
