    Great place if you like Mediterranean and lamb with great pricing! While I didn't expect anything, I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant and would recommend it to anyone nearby. The combo plate was terrific, especially the lamb kebab, which I plan to order just the lamb plate next time, and a significant portion that was enough for two or a single hungry soul. Amazing hummus and pita, which I should have also ordered as take-out. Great mom and pop shop vibe where you can enjoy your meal in a relaxed and chill ambiance, with excellent service! I hope you enjoy your time here during your visit, as we did!

    Excellent food and very kind staff! Found the on Yelp and was very happy. Atmosphere was relaxing on a rainy day!

    Lamb Burger
    T W.

    I really have nothing bad to say about this food. The lamb burger was phenomenal. I will order again, it was delivered through door dash so I can't really say much about the service but the presentation was everything. The fries were delish! The food arrived Hot ! Not scalding but enough to enjoy the meal. The Roll up was okay, next time I may just leave out the pickles. They are really tangy/sour n it throws the taste off the lamb. But overall this place for the first time hit the spot.

    Beef shawarma combo ($13.20), lamb burger with cheese ($12), pita bread ($1.25), baklava (2 pieces $1.50 each), hummus ($5.75)

    Ordered delivery from here though Seamless and I was blown away! The lamb burger with cheese ($12 on the app) is a must try. The lamb was so tender and cooked perfectly medium rare (you can choose how well you want it cooked). The patty was seasoned nicely and the cheese and caramelized onions tied everything together. The order came with a lot of pickles. I don't think I've ever gotten that many pickles from any restaurant before! But the pickles were awesome and went well with a lot of other things I ordered. The burger comes with either fries or a salad, so I tried the salad. The salad had your typical fixings like cucumbers, onions, olives, tomatoes, and feta cheese. It also came with a tangy vinaigrette. The salad portion was bigger than I expected. The beef shawarma combo plate ($13.20) was also great. It came with the salad described above, a large portion of beef shawarma, and a large portion of rice. The meat and rice were well-seasoned but not too salty. It didn't make me feel like I was eating a heavy meal. If I hadn't discovered the awesome lamb burger, then I would order this again, but I think I'll be ordering a lot of lamb burgers from this restaurant for a while... I also ordered the hummus ($5.75), pita bread ($1.25), and baklava ($1.50). The hummus was super smooth and on the tangy side. The pita bread order came as two large tortilla-sized, thin pieces of bread. Sadly it was cold when it arrived (while everything else in the order stayed warm) but it still paired well with all the food. I also highly recommend getting the hot sauce ($0.70) for anyone who likes garlic and can tolerate spice. The hot sauce was super garlicky and packed a nice kick. I'm used to seeing restaurants charge close to $3 for a single piece of baklava so I was happy to find out that a piece is only $1.50 here. The pastry was very flaky and overall not too sweet. Super impressed by the food here! I look forward to ordering from here again soon.

    Ordered South End Pita from Uber eats and was pleasantly impressed with the food. They were the only middle eastern restaurant open on Sunday. The food came well packaged and the food was still warm. The portions were massive. We got the chicken kabob and deluxe kabob and those two were enough to feed the two of us for two nights. The extra pita was also generous and went well with their home made hummus. The meat itself was also juicy unlike some of the drier kabobs I've had from other restaurants. Great food! Would definitely order again.

    The food & service were amazing. Good clean eating, check their website for daily specials. Yummm

    This is a hidden gem! All I can say is YUMMY! This roll is packed with flavor and the warmth and crisp pita makes it so good! Fast service.

    The meat is ok but everything else is a joke, tabbouleh is a disaster, plus poor lighting, bad service, off vibes. Not worth the prices.

    One of my favorite dining experiences all year…read more Service- exceptional. Everyone interacted with was amazing. My server had excellent recommendations and was super knowledgeable about the menu and the popularity of items. Food- we got 5 dinner items and 1 dessert item and that was enough for two. Zaatar Bread- our favorite item. Bread was thick but light. Buttery but not overpowering. And the dip! Wow was the dip so good. Whipped Feta- delicious but could've use 2 more chips as the dip to chip ratio was off. Sultans Delight- my wife's favorite dish. Super tender and extremely flavorful. Lamb Shwarma (special)- so good and I hope they add it to their menu going forward. Mussels- mixed. I enjoyed them but my wife did not like them as much. May have been textural for her, but I enjoyed it. Baked Alaska- a must. From the presentation to the flavors- amazing! Can't wait to come back, they earned their Michelin recognition for sure.

    Oh, Oleana! Tucked…read moreaway in Cambridge, Oleana is a cozy Mediterranean restaurant serving small plates. My partner and I managed to snag a last-minute reservation on a Tuesday night, and even at 9 p.m. the restaurant was still lively. Between the beautiful decor and warm atmosphere, it made for a great date night spot, though it was admittedly a bit dim (apologies in advance for the photo quality!) Between the two of us, we ended up ordering quite a few dishes: Whipped Feta (4/5): This was good, though I was hoping for a stronger roasted pepper flavor. Nothing wrong with it, but it didn't quite stand out. Interestingly, we overheard the table next to us mention the same thing, so maybe this one's a bit hit or miss. Spinach Falafel (4/5): Another solid dish. It was bright, colorful, and fresh, though a little messy to eat. Our waiter rather bluntly told us to "just wrap it and bite," which caught us a little off guard, but it was good nonetheless. Fatteh (4.5/5): Our favorite appetizer of the night. The creamy roasted cauliflower paired so well with the crispy pita, and I especially loved the sweetness the onions brought to the dish. Sultan's Delight (5/5): As everyone else says, this is the one to order. The beef was incredibly tender and rich. In hindsight, I almost wish we'd had the potatoes from the Adana Kebab to eat alongside it because they would've been the perfect accompaniment. Vermont Quail Kebab (5/5): Tied with the Sultan's Delight as our favorite entrée. The quail was juicy, well-spiced, and surprisingly easy to eat. I'd absolutely order this again. Adana Kebab (4/5): By this point, I think we were simply getting full. The kebab itself was good, but not nearly as memorable as the other meat dishes. Ironically, the potatoes and peppers that came with it might have been my favorite part--they would've paired perfectly with the Sultan's Delight. Baked Alaska (4.5/5): Delicious. The toasted meringue paired wonderfully with the coconut ice cream, though we were a little mixed on the passionfruit caramel, which came across slightly burnt and more acidic than expected. After a while the meringue did become quite sweet, so we ended up pairing some with the Muhallebi. Dark Chocolate Muhallebi (3.5/5): Yes...we ordered two desserts. I was mostly drawn in by the kaymak ice cream, but the Muhallebi itself was almost completely unsweetened. I'm usually all for desserts that aren't overly sweet, but this one leaned more savory than I expected. We actually ended up adding some leftover meringue from the Baked Alaska to balance it out. Looking back, given both our appetites (and our wallets), I think we would've been perfectly happy just ordering the Baked Alaska. Overall, Oleana was a lovely spot for a date night. While it didn't quite live up to the lofty expectations I'd built up from all the praise, we still had a really enjoyable meal. Our main waiter was kind, and I appreciated that the dishes came out in rounds, giving us plenty of time to eat and chat. The meat dishes were definitely the highlights for us, but overall there's a lot to like here.

Tucked in the corner of a cozy residential neighborhood, Desfina has that laid-back vibe. There's indoor seating if you want to escape the heat and outdoor seating. It was hot as hell- but we picked a table outside anyway. The service is exactly how I like it. Warm, friendly and attentive without someone checking on you every 10 seconds. Everyone was just full of smiles and it made our dinner that much special. Instead of going for big main plates, my daughter and I went for starters. The fried calamari is a must and tasty. The batter is light and crisp and actually stays on the calamari instead of sliding off. The grilled octopus is silky- the kind that melts the second you bite into it. None of that chewiness you get from places that don't know how to make a grilled octopus. This one in Desfina, is how it's supposed to be done! A Greek salad was a given. And the grilled shrimp with lemon potatoes hit the spot too. I'll admit, I was hoping for bigger shrimp(?), but these were juicy and tasty though.

We arrived a little early and were escorted to a cozy lounge before being guided to our table, a corner spot right under the restaurant's big windows. From the moment you walk in, you can see how elegant it is, and yet it's not pretentious at all. I spotted people in sneakers and Birkenstocks alongside others who were dressed up which worked out since we'd spent the day sightseeing and were dressed a bit more casual. We started with the escargot, which was delicious, served out of the shell with toasted sourdough. The complimentary bread was also some of the best I've had and I'm not just saying that because it was free. The wine list was extensive but had something for every price range. We picked a delicious Bordeaux for just $80, which was less than I expected to pay at a restaurant of this caliber. My husband ordered the Cornish hen and I had the duck on a bed of risotto. Both were amazing, and the portions were huge. I ended up taking half my duck home which I really wasn't expecting. The duck was delicious but my husband's hen might have been just a bit better; it was so juicy. We also got a side of the horseradish mashed potatoes; divine. I went in expecting small plates and precious portions like most elevated French spots so this was a welcome surprise. We ended with the crème brûlée, it had the most perfect "glassy" top; might be the best I've had. The service was next level throughout.

The salmon was very overpriced for how much they offered; $27 for a piece of salmon only a few inches across was insulting, but apparently that is just how it is served there (picture below, you can see the pieces of broccoli are almost as big as the fish!) The other dish we got was the chicken sandwich, which is cut into two halves. The first half was normal but there was basically no chicken on the second half of the sandwich, it was essentially all bread. We brought it up to a manager and they got us a new piece of chicken, which fit entirely alongside the old piece of chicken on the bun because it was so small. On top of that we had to wait around nearly half an hour after finishing and had to flag down a waiter to get our check and go. The service overall was very slow. I will never come back to this restaurant.
