So it was worth the wait. We didn't have a reservation but as soon as we spotted eggplant appetizer…read morebeing served to nearby table we thought it might be a promising place. While we waited the staff were courteous to give us olives as a starter on a small plate. We were promptly shown to table for two. The menu features, skewers, shawarma plates (bread sandwiches with various meat), main course and desserts. Our choice was mix of skewer lambs, marinated lamb chops and chicken cubes. As a side you get a choice of rice or chips. The appetizer was accompanied by a basket of bread to dip in eggplant with olives. The main course though...! It was just delicious! Hands down, from now on my favorite restaurant in Cambridge. The interior is modern, staff courteous, prompt meaning enough people employed to make sure you're well taken care of. The ladies' room was clean and neat (yes, bathrooms matter). The check was followed by complimentary baklava which melted in our mouth.

If you like it spicy, have them put their chili sauce on, in addition to the tahini sauce. They add all types of delicious salads to the falafel, along with hummous and the sauces. Try all of them - it's a terrific combination! They also offer houlumi cheese as an additional 'add in'. We have not tried it because we are vegans. My husband and I eat there every chance we get, and thoroughly enjoy it - as have the guests we have brought there! We highly recommend it!

If you don't like the smell of meat grilling and it getting into your clothes and hair, this isn't the place from you.

The food is pretty great and worth a visit or two, because I didn't have enough stomach room to try every single dish. We ordered naan, labneh, za'aluk, artichoke, oyster mushroom, cauliflower, and finally lamb. You can watch and smell everything that's being made and it's all tasty.
