I got almost all toppings- lettuce, cucumber, onions, pickled radish, tzatziki sauce and the lemon tahini sauce. It was filling but I think the rice was a bit greasy for me.

Parking is free at the garages in the Arsenal yards mall garage so that is very convenient. Overall good for a quick meal!

The staff couldn't have been friendlier--they even offered a mix of both fries and rice when I couldn't decide. Seating is limited and they do a brisk takeout business, so definitely keep that in mind when timing a visit.

Arriving around 11-12 on a Saturday, my friends and I reserved a table at In House Cafe and received quick and efficient service from kind and informative servers. It's nice to note that the uniforms are also adorable and punchy. The food itself was absolutely phenomenal and my friends and I, despite ordering a VAST array of delicious items from pizza to pancakes, all agreed that the food was delicious and well worth the trip! The apple Cinnamon Pancakes were nearly to die for, warm and delicious, the batter seemed homemade, and honestly gets a solid 10/10. The same goes for my drink of choice, the iced caramel latte with oat milk. The bacon and eggs were as you'd expect and well executed. The Shakshuka was good and smelled amazing, but my only note would be that an addition of salt or a slight edge to the dish would bring it over the top- My friend who initially ordered the dish says that an addition of Feta cheese will do the trick, as she ordered a side of it to go on top. For my personal taste it was a 7.5/10. The pizza was a great serving size for 1-2 people in one sitting, or could easily be stretched out into multiple meals if needed. The fresh tasting vegetables brought the dish together, and the meal was happily enjoyed. and a pro tip; if you have leftovers i'd recommend reheating in an air-fryer for perfect crispy crust 9/10 The chocolate strawberry latte exceeded my expectations, as I am not a usual fan of chocolate strawberries, but this drink was a very pleasant surprise. It wasn't overly sweet or artificially flavored, and I couldn't help but ask my friend for a few sips throughout the meal. The bathrooms were VERY clean and VERY well maintained, and the restaurant is just a very quick walk away from the bus stop. Accessible by car but parking may be hard to find, so be aware if you choose to go by car. I would go back to boston soley for those pancakes! ONE thing I will note is that for three people our order came out to a bit over $100. You can feel free to interpret that as you so choose. I will say I was somewhat surprised, but NOT regretful! I'd still go back for the pancakes ‍

The brand new location was awesome!…read more I was thrilled to come over here for my husband's 60th birthday and it did not disappoint! I was very excited for the owner Joseph because the original restaurant was a small diner which was so cozy and convenient. The new place is spacious, lofty and it looked very contemporary chic with lots of tables and the staff doubled. The food was consistently good and I tried lamb chops this time and next time I'll make sure I have it at medium rare. I tried the beet mezze for the first time and that was very delicious. The halva dessert is good as always , but this time that I tried their baklava as my husband's birthday cake and they were so gracious to sing happy birthday to him. Very lovely time and of course loved their complementary tea at the end. Good for digestion. Will be back again. I loved it and I'm really happy to see the restaurant's growth!

I appreciated how much this place leans into both cultures from decor showcases both cultures to their balanced menu featuring dishes from both. There is ample seating at this place and dont let the construction outside deter you because they are open. We ordered the cheese manakish to start, and this might have been my favorite dish. Balanced with two types of cheese with a light airy texture to it kept it from feeling too dense. The pita its on is crunchy and thin, and theres a drizzle of sauce, likely some form of pesto, that cuts the flavor making it a truly enjoyable dish. We also ordered the chicken kebabs and roasted jerk chicken. The kebabs were a great portion with tender chicken, some greens, and grains. I personally could have used more tzakai, but thats a personal preference. Overall though, the meal did not feel heavy and I left feeling full but not overtly stuffed which I was happy with. My husband's jerk chicken was a sizable dish. The chicken was tender and fell right off the bone, and the pilaf had a nice flavor to it. Overall we really enjoyed our meals. The service can take some time, but its a super small staff so just be patient.

There were lamb, chicken, and kibbeh kabobs, tzatziki with cucumbers, salad, and mushroom rice. The mushroom rice had a great flavor and a crispness that was like that delicious part of the rice that sticks to the bottom of the pan. There was a trio of hummus- lentil, beet, and standard, with fresh pita to scoop it up. Great- my favorites were actually the lentil and the beet. The plantain appetizer had a beautiful presentation, on the charred plantain skin. The plantains had crisp kind of caramelized edges. The pikliz on top was tasty and had a kick. My partner and dad liked the griot- a crunchy pork that reminded them of chicharron. The entrees were not my favorite, but the rest of the party enjoyed them. I think the move is to get the mezze platters and appetizers. Almost forgot! The basque cheesecake is quite unique- with a passion fruit sauce to die for.

My husband had the chicken Shawarma sandwich which was just as large, but he had the garlic sauce and I think he wished he had the tahini sauce but then again it was very large The vegetables in the sandwiches were very fresh and crisp The owner gave us each of complementary falafel that was also very good If we are in the area again, we definitely will go back

"How much further will my journey take me tomorrow? The new rain and chill are biting my…read moreclothes明日客程還幾許，沾衣況是新寒雨." A temperature of 13 degrees Celsius is already late autumn or even early winter for me as a Cantonese. After struggling through the biting wind and rain, the warm glow of the charcoal fire and the cozy decorations instantly warmed me, making a strong first impression. Moschari me Damaskina: The moment it entered my mouth, I couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" Firstly, the tenderness of the beef cheek; the fibers almost melted at the very moment it touched my mouth, the fat and juices filling the space, making it incredibly easy to chew. Secondly, the dominant flavor was the tangy aroma; the fruity acidity of the prunes and red wine had a bright yet lingering fermented quality that immediately captivated my taste buds, leaving only the flavors of the beef itself and the spices. The tarhanas were sticky and chewy, with just the right amount of fermentation, complementing the beef perfectly. As a stew, it was rich and flavorful without being greasy--perfect for an autumn night! However, perhaps if the beef flavor had been a little deeper, it wouldn't have felt any overpowering. The waiter lifted the lid with a quiet cheer, and after I scooped out a portion, he gently closed the lid to keep it warm--a charming and thoughtful touch that added to the experience. Kontosouvli: A simple and straightforward roasted chicken, marinated with Greek yogurt. While not particularly surprising, the chicken was very tender and had a wonderful charcoal aroma--another excellent dish. The boneless chicken breast was even more satisfying than the drumsticks. The pickled onions had a slightly raw spiciness, making it less appealing than the one by Zaytinya at Washington DC. Samali: I touched the plate before eating; it was chilled, which added to my positive impression. The corn bread was standard, but the sweetness was slightly reduced to make way for the more prominent blueberry jam and grilled corn ice cream. The former was intensely sour, making it difficult to eat on its own. I personally think it would be better with a less acidic jam, such as orange, peach, or apricot. Despite having orange blossom syrup, it wasn't particularly outstanding. The latter, on the other hand, brought out the sweetness of the grains to the extreme, almost like eating an ice cream version of corn flakes, yet with a very light texture and melted exceptionally quickly--quite interesting. Looking back, this dessert might be more suitable for a July in New England, perhaps the best time of year, with bright but not scorching sunshine, a clear blue sky and sea, and even the wind barely perceptible. Blueberries and corn are just ripe, allowing you to quietly enjoy the land's most heartfelt gifts of the year. In the bleak autumn, perhaps the Galatopita with caramelized peaches and brown butter would be more seasonal, but seeing it on the menu made me think, why not let me just briefly return to that summer of yesterday's dreams?

A couple of friends and I were in the Coolidge Corner area and begged them to take us in for walk-ins - we'd be in and out within an hour. They kindly let us in and we started off with the saganaki, which was an ooey gooey cheese that was perfectly sweet, oily, and cheesy. This paired well with some of the bread we got with their whipped butter. Beef cheeks was the standout entree; insanely tender, melt in your mouth, and paired well with the couscous. Stifado was also delicious. The eggplant dish with a block of feta was also fun and yummy! Their cocktail game is also very fun - a couple of us got the Karpouzi 3.0 and we also got one "pump the briki" which was a fun take on an espresso martini. I can't wait for my next visit!
