It's a great family on run business. We had the hummus and appetizer or phenomenal as always great portions as well. I had them mixed kebab dinner. My girlfriend had the Kibby both were great lots of food and to finish the best baklava I've ever had in my life has always even brought a piece home from my mom I would recommend for any person when it's warm out. They have outside seating you can get takeout. It's right there a mess have you have to do street parking but you could always find something.

We ate here some time ago and were impressed with Cafe Barada's flavors. We met some friends here…read morefor dinner, dining on the patio. We ordered the Vegetarian grape leaves, Mujederra, Stuffed roasted eggplant appetizer, Salad with cashews -- all small dishes to share. Everything was tasty and well prepared. The only odd thing was when we first arrived, only 2-3 of the patio tables were occupied, and our friends were about to arrive. We were told - VERY STERNLY - that we needed to wait until EVERYONE was present in order to be seated, and until then, we needed to stand outside. I can certainly understand if they were busy, or even vaguely close to busy. But forcing seniors to stand outside the patio was just kinda weird. If it weren't for that off-putting interaction, I would have given them another star.

It came with hummus, labneh, baba-ganoush, harissa, falafel, and halloumi. The pita it came with was thin, warm, and very tasty. We got extra too! All of the dips were so fresh and delicious. My favorite were the hummus and labneh. Highly recommend!

Currently closed till 7/2024 according to Yelp…read more But late 2022, we finally got the chance to try Fairouz's $43 Mixed Grill Plate (chicken, beef, shrimp (4 count), lamb, kafta (ground beef and lamb), served with rice, salad (simply lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes, and two portions of oil based dressing), garlic dip & hummus dip), to go. Everything came well packed, with the salad in a large plastic clam shell, two little sauce containers of each dip, two ziplock baggies of pita triangles, napkins, plastic ware, all sitting on the aluminum foil covered tray of meat and rice. Since I had been enticed by Bea's photo of this dish, I was a little disappointed at the lack of grilled vegetables. But there was salad and upon reflection, the menu made no mention of such veggies, so perhaps there's been changes over time? The rice received props from this household, and wonder at how it was flavored. The meat, though medium to well done, was tender enough, and the lamb lacked that gaminess that the non-lamb-eater among us so dislikes. The kafta and shrimp were the most strongly seasoned proteins of the bunch, and the shrimp rather juicy. Both hummus and garlic dip were good, but the garlic is indeed strong with the latter, so spread with a light hand. You can always add more to taste after all. The worst that could be said was that I wished that there had been more tomatoes in the salad, and if only they had not split the pita triangles. Pitas without their pockets are rather tougher to enjoy as self made mini sandwich bundles of all the good flavors and textures. I hope they see this and reconsider.

WORMS IN FOOD.... SANITATION HAZARD!!!!!…read more I came here because they're one of the closest places downtown with good reviews. I ordered beef shawarma and asked multiple times if it was gluten free. They just stared at me bewildered and finally said no, the beef doesn't have flour. I get this plate and it looks like there's spaghetti in the rice. As I continue eating it I notice these strings are all different sizes and I'm so grossed out and horrified. The taste of food is like a 4/10 but I'm so disgusted that I can't finish it. It's too bad because I wasted $14 and I'm just visiting Boston for a short time. Unacceptable!

I also got a pistachio lemon cookie which was so moist and delicious! You can't really taste the rosewater, which I liked, and it actually reminded me of a cookie I had in Capri off the coast of Italy! I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!

I had the kafta kebab wrap (so delish), the chicken shawarma (not as good as the kafta- the chicken pieces were too big). And then the desserts!! I had the chocolate Halva - soooo good. And the Dubai chocolate- kunafi which was like nothing g I've ever had before. I want to go back and try the rest of the menu! You order at the counter and then grab a table. It was crowded at 6 on a Friday night. The man running the place was kind and helpful I adored him and this place.
