  So I put the wrong location on Uber as they have 2, make sure to double check. I arrived at the other location after 9pm and was told that the kitchen was closed and was redirected here. I waited for another Uber and it was 9:35pm when I finally made it here. And guess what? They also said the kitchen was closed by then! So even if they close at 10:30pm on week days, make sure you arrive early! I also wish they told me at the other location that I wouldn’t get lucky here either!

  Levantine mezze spot, now in a much bigger home near Central Square. Walked in for dinner this past weekend. My friends and I got a table without a wait (thanks to the storm) and the dining room was lovely. Classic lounge style vibes with high ceilings, maybe triple the size of their original spot in Inman. The menu was clearly rooted in Lebanon with toum, shatta, sumac and hashweh all over it, but there were other Eastern Med elements too, Greek skordalia under the squid and Italian agrumato on the fish. They went all in on the wine list as well, most of it Lebanese. We shared a few apps and mezze. The hummus bil fitr was just hummus with sautéed mushrooms piled on top with herbs the same way hummus bil lahme comes topped with meat, rather than worked into the dip like a duxelles. A nice dip, and the one thing I noticed was how salty the pita was on its own, which isn't typical, but it worked since the salt tamed the slight bitterness in the tahini and highlighted the nutty side. The rest of the savory side wasn't that memorable for me. They were great dishes, but most of the dishes we ordered kept hitting the same notes. Pyrazines from the grill, roasted sesame in the tahini (which is the same family of compounds), parsley and other herbs, and something sweet-tart like pomegranate on top. Satisfying combo, but not that exciting when you've had it at 10 restaurants in 10 cities. Still the squid and hanger steak were cooked really well, especially the Point Judith squid. The whole grilled fish (I think sea bream) was very moist too, mostly from being cooked whole on the bone with the skin on, with the citrusy agrumato and roasted lemon adding fat and acid. My favorite was actually the dessert, the vanilla muhallabieh. Came with blueberries, candied walnuts and Meyer lemon granita, and the contrast between the icy crumbly granita and the dense creamy pudding reminded me of those granita and ice cream palate cleansers you get in fine dining. Low key felt like eating a really good blueberry açaí bowl.

  Planned a team dinner there for 10, worked with Sophia who help put together a menu suitable for everyone, went through everything in great detail... The food was excellent, abundant. We'll be sure to be back there soon!

  the food is very tasty but not out of this world — excellent SWANA food by Boston standards! the service was lacking considerably and took away from the experience but the manager was very kind with receiving feedback and i would give it another try if things were to change :P

  Great atmosphere and falafel. Thats the only positives I can give about this place. The service or atleast our server was atrocious. He disappeared for long periods of time. We had to flag down other servers for things on two occasions. The price to value ratio is terrible. Truly small plates and big prices. Falafel was truly excellent. The fatoush was mediocre at best, the lamb was flavorful but a weird plate overall. The patata harara was meh. The labneh was massively under salted. Drinks were fine. Why this is so well rated is beyond me.
