    I'm glad to have a healthy Mediterranean bowl option when I'm visiting friends in the area. It's very convenient to order online, and your meal is ready quickly. Their baba ghanoush is delicious, with its strong garlic presence, either on its own or as one of the ingredients in your bowl. I could come here for a meal every day, order something different each time, and be completely satisfied.

    Best Chicken Shawarma in Massachusetts

    Best Chicken Shawarma in Massachusetts We no longer need to travel to Boston for an amazing chicken shawarma wrap. I tried Pera Grill today, and honestly, it's the best shawarma I've had anywhere in Massachusetts. The flavor is outstanding, the quality is top-notch, and the place is spotless. Keep up the excellent work--this is the kind of food that keeps people coming back again and again.

    If you're looking for solid Mediterranean food, look no further than Pera grill! I ordered catered lunch here via Relish. For that reason, I can't speak to the ambiance or quality of service that Pera Grill offers. However, I can tell from the food that they mix in some TLC! Generous portions and quality ingredients. You won't be disappointed!

    Lamb rice bowl

    I'm typically in Lowell every other week. Bro in law recommended trying Pera for lunch. Told him I was actually craving for some Mediterranean food. I wanted the whole rice bowl with toppings and then some type of sauce drizzled on top. Rice bowl is a little under $12 for one protein, 5 toppings, and two sauces of your choice. For the price, the portion was really generous . I got the lamb rice bowl. Their red cabbage was so good. Somewhat like a slaw. The tomatoes/cucumbers were so refreshing . Their Garlic sauce was so good.... I legit would pick their garlic sauce over halal guys. The lamb was ok. It was lacking flavor for me. I think sticking to their chicken will be better. That is why I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 4 or 5. I will for sure come back and try their chicken doner . Definitely a good spot to stop by and grab lunch. Overall, it was definitely good and I highly recommend giving it a try.

    Supposedly this is chicken.

    Came here with a buddy of mine because he wanted some Mediterranean food and boy were we disappointed. Let's just say that the service was the only positive part of our trip. He got the spicy chicken pita sandwich and the chicken tasted like a flavorless pre-frozen processed chicken patty full of cartilage. I got the braised beef... I don't think they know what braised beef is supposed to taste like because it was almost flavorless and very dry. As a Mediterranean man myself I was completely embarrassed for our food to be represented in this manner. Never going there again. Although the music is on point.

    Nice quiet restaurant. Very clean. The ordering menu (Step #1, 2 , 3 ) reads from right to left, so start far right as you are ordering (just like Chipotle). Options to add (but not limited to) include dice beets, corn, shredded carrots, kalamata olives and arugula. Everything was fresh and the Chicken Doner was tender for the pita I ordered. I ordered hummus to go and it was delightful. Definitely a healthier option and sauces add flavor based on your choice.

    Definitely recommend if you're looking for fresh and flavorful Mediterranean food! I love how you get to choose what's in your bowl. The tzatziki is soooo good!!

    Very good meal with lots of Thum (garlic sauce). My wife and I ordered very good chicken falafel…read moreand french fries. The only draw back was too much salt. The sizes of our meals were very good and we were full! Definitely appreciate the use of healthy chicken with no hormones or antibiotics! Will be back.

    Really saddens me to write this review since I was so looking forward to eating here. I had an…read moreawful experience here and cannot see myself coming back, especially for the prices they charge. Perhaps we caught them on an off day, but it was bad. There was only one other table when we arrived. We ordered and waited about 10 minutes. Lentil soup was brought out. It was okay. 10 minutes later, we received our grape leaves... that cost $14.99. We were given four pieces (see photo). That's pretty outrageous. But okay, noted- we'll make sure not to order that next time. Another 10 minutes later, my partner received his falafel wrap. It just wasn't that good. It was pressed so there's no crispy falafel, just squished texture. It also wasn't flavorful at all. I'm waiting for my dish (grilled fish), and by the time my partner finishes the wrap, I see the waitress bringing out grilled fish... which she promptly gives to a table that just sat down. Another table starts to walk out because it's taking so long, but the owner stops them. I let the owner know that I'm ready to leave because my partner is done with dinner and I'm done waiting. She assures me that my fish will be out within 5 minutes. Eventually it comes out, but at this point I'm been waiting for about an hour, everything was brought out so slowly, and the food just wasn't that good. Well the fish and rice was fantastic - great flavor for both. Devoured the whole thing. We also ordered baklava, and again.. disappointing. Too much syrup and soaked to the point of being gummy. This was about $80 for everything. Although the fish was good, I can't handle the bad service and disappointing food.

    Okay... this place is great! It's like a homemade version of crown fried chicken. The owner runs…read morethe whole place. He's all alone and literally makes everything himself. Props to him! That's a heavy load to take on and he does a great job at it. Everything is super cheap here and taste great. If you're a student at Middlesex Community college like me. Let's face it, theres days when we're broke and need a place to grab a cheap quick lunch. This is definitely the spot. Pizza rolls: I love these things. He made them perfectly and you can tell he hand rolls them himself. And they're only a $1!! Double cheeseburger: BOMB! I'm so picky with burgers. I don't give a shit if it's messy looking, lets be real. If it tastes good, it's serving it's purpose. I'm super picky and customized it as I liked and he accommodated it. Thank you! Not many places do! Fries: perfectly crunchy. Not soft and soggy like most places. Maybe a little less seasoning. I know not a lot of people like spicy foods. But I enjoy it. Chicken Kabob Plate: my boyfriend and I split this because of how big it was. We ordered it with extra rice instead of the usual side of salad it comes with. The owner offered us either Indian or Spanish rice. We went with the Spanish and it tasted great, it even had vegetables in it. The chicken was nice and juicy with grilled peppers and onions. The rice and chicken had a nice kick to it. Not too spicy and just flavor. Chicken and Fries (not pictured): My boyfriend devoured this. The chicken is definitely not anything like crown fried or Jacqueline's chicken. The owner literally uses his own recipe. My boyfriend loved it and the chicken looked really fresh and juicy. He swallowed the thing before I even got a chance to take a picture of it lol. Please go visit guys! This little place has so much potential. It might seem a little stand off it by the looks of it but it's worth going in and trying it out The owner is so sweet, he even offered my boyfriend a free banana milkshake while he waited for the food to be done. Thanks Jimmy! Try it out! You won't regret it !

    It was my first time here, I walked in and asked for a chicken gyro with tzatziki he rang me up I…read moregave him a tip for fast customer service then he walks over to me 5 mins later and tells me he does not have tzatziki so he gave me the (white sauce) which was okay but defeated the purpose of me going to the shop the pita was soggy from all the (white sauce) and the veggie to chicken ratio made it feel like a veggie gyro not Chicken Gyro quite disappointed

    Chez Rafiki's is a gourmet food truck that began operations in Lowell, Massachusetts in September…read more2016. It was founded by chef Lhoussine Rafiq. Originally hailing from Casablanca, Morocco, Chef Rafiq is a graduate of Boston's Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts. After working at several Boston restaurants, Rafiq decided to start his own food truck. Chez Rafiki's serves authentic Halal Mediterranean cuisine made with fresh local ingredients. Some of the menu staples include falafel, chicken shawarma, gyro, kofta, and salads. Chez Rafiki's travel all over Massachusetts bringing their delicious food to various craft breweries, festivals and private catering events. I recently enjoyed some food from Chez Rafiki's at Tree House Brewing Company in Charlton. I was visiting the brewery with my two-year-old son and we decided to get some food from the food truck. I was excited to see that Chez Rafiki's was the food truck that day because I love Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine. After looking over the menu, I decided to order Chez Rafiki's Special: the "Chicken Killer" (Rice, Fries, Chicken Shawarma, Pickled Red Onion, Tomatoes, Lettuce, Garlic Sauce, Feta Cheese). I also ordered a side of Falafel. I absolutely loved the Chicken Killer; a symphony of Mediterranean flavors and spices. My son has never tried this kind of cuisine before. He wouldn't touch the Chicken Killer but he absolutely loved the Falafel. He happily gobbled down half of the Falafel balls. I would definitely order from Chez Rafiki's again if I saw them at another brewery or festival.
