Excellent chicken mozzarella panini. We had the beef burger and chicken mozzarella panini. After a long morning of walking, this cool place was a welcome sight before starting the Freedom Trail. The only thing we found odd was no free refills - is that a Boston thing or just specific to this restaurant?

Very nice food. Lovely staff, very welcoming. Have a prayer area downstairs even for when we were passing by the next day not as customers. Top notch mixed grill. Visited October 2023 with friends.

The food was delicious. Good location, next to the Boston Common. Plates served fast and reasonably priced. The mixed plate is a great deal. We ordered mixed grill with salad. Delicious and healthy. They are highly recommended.

Great little spot overlooking the park. The falafel wraps were very tasty, and the fries were seasoned to perfection.

My fave go to lunch spot!!! They have vegetarian options. I used to love their veggie burger, but it's no longer on the menu 😔 Today I grabbed lunch and opted for the falafel burger (see pic) and Cajun fries (tasty, but need to work on, too much seasoning left over...see pic) Great choice! They moved just a few doors down to 140 Tremont. The staff are still friendly and efficient 🤗

The best falafel wrap I have ever had! And the grilled chicken kebab and beef kafta are amazing too.

The beef and the lamb are so juicy! The chicken is ok. Very large portion. Ordered one large mix grill and it was more than enough for the three of us.

Food was delicious! We tried Black seed based off a recommendation and glad we had it. Good seating available and service was great. Employees were really helpful and brought our order to us when it was ready. We went with the shawarma chicken and rice plate and a chicken kabob and rice plate. It comes with salad and garlic sauce for the chicken. The sauce was delicious, and the rice was so soft and fluffy. The chicken was very flavorful and delicious. Salad was great too and came with dressing. For the price it’s a lot of food and we had leftovers which was convenient. Location is right next to Boston commons as well which makes easy to stop by!

Sitting here with a full belly as I type this…This is the best shawarma and maybe the single best wrap I’ve ever had in my entire life. The chicken was perfectly juicy and seasoned so deliciously. The freshness of the salad inside the wrap was very obvious. It was crunchy and delicious and also looked beautiful. The wrap itself was grilled very nicely and was very very tasty. Everything was so delicious but what make it 5 stars isn’t just the flavor, but the freshness of the actual ingredients. The customer service was also very good. It feels like a homely place with a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere but still professional. 10/10

The food is delicious and highly recommended. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The staff is extremely friendly and will make your wrap or bowl exactly how you want it. I ordered the beef burger, which was delicious!!! The fries were crispy, long, and well-seasoned. I love it when fries are done correctly, and these were some excellent fries.

Wow, yum!! Lamb kabob plate was fantastic and plenty for lunch for two. If I lived locally I would eat here all the time. Fantastic!

What a great muslim run establishment in the core of the city! The owner was giving a date/cajur to everyone who ordered near Iftar time (free of charge) I got the grilled platter and it was a SUBSTANTIAL amount of food for 1 person. Any normal person would have had leftovers but not me ;) The meat was fresh, tasted good & had good flavour - albeit not unique taste to it. It comes with a healthy amount of rice & salad. I also got a mango lassi which was good but not great. In a city that lacks Halal meat options, this hits the spot!

Great food. Fast and reasonably priced. The mixed plate is a great deal with 2 skewers of each: chicken kafta, chicken kabob, lamb kabob, and kafta, with rice and bread and salad all for only 19.99! Definitely would recommend.

This review is for the best restaurant I have ever visited in Boston in the last seven years. Strangely, a reviewer leaves a comment like this now after many years. I am not in the USA now and have had no chance to visit it since 2014. Today, I was notified that the places I visited and this restaurant were on the old/top information on my Google map. I can comment well about this restaurant and link to my old time in Boston. Therefore, I am leaving the Five Starts because of the food quality; the beautiful staff were kind and excellent. I have no idea how they are now, but I wish them a very long, healthy life. Kind regards.

My wife and I split the large grill combo which was plenty big for the two of us and fair for the Boston price. Delicious. Well seasoned and juicy meat selection. It was quite warm inside the restaurant, not air conditioned, so we enjoyed our meal to go and ate at the park across the street.

Halal burgers in Downtown Boston is a great Boston. We had the Chicken, Beef Burgers along with the fries. The burgers were good but the fries were cut toot thick. They had more options available but once again it is great to have Halal burgers in Boston.

Samosas are really good. The beef and lamb kabobs are really tasty. Chicken is OK. Falafel wrap is yummy. Review update: The place has been complete revamped. They have better systems, amazing customer service, falafels are the best in town, the samosas and kunafa are a must try

Healthy late night food offerings near Boston Commons. While looking for places that were open at midnight on Christmas, I was fortunate to find out that this place was open. Got a mix of the lamb and the chicken kabob with a side of garlic sauce, and it was definitely a great alternative to other late night fast food. Chicken was mostly consisted of dry chicken breast meat, and it was almost impossible to eat it without any drink or sauce. The lamb kabob on the other hand, was reasonably tender, and it went really well with the rice pilaf. The dish also comes with a side of small salad which was decent. Highly recommend checking out their lamb kabob dish if you’re looking for good food after midnight, and don’t forget to get some extra sauce on the side.
