The star of the show is the sandwich selection, all on a choice of focaccia or seeded roll, with many including stracciatella, a thick, white, creamy, Buratta-like cheese. Almost every item in the store-- from meats to cheeses to drinks to candies and snacks-- is imported from Italy and you can taste the difference. This ain't your daddy's Boar's Head. -- Tutto: Tried on focaccia, with Mortadella, Soppressata, Capicola, Prosciutto, Provolone, Stracciatella Cheese, Tomatoes, Onions, Pickles, Hot Cherry Peppers, and Garden Greens. Very creamy cheese, almost mayoey in texture. It took some adjustment on my first try, but I got used to it quickly. Strong flavors overall. Very enjoyable. -- Matto: Tried (on two different visits) on a grilled seeded roll, this packed Prosciutto, Soppressata, Sharp Provolone, and Hot Cherry Peppers. Bold flavors from the coldcuts, sharp cheese, and perfectly toasted bread, all in the right proportions to enjoy every flavor and texture. This was spectacular and will be a repeat sandwich for many visits to come. Excellent sandwiches. Nice people. Easy ordering via Toast (they don't have a website). Limited hours-- weekday lunches only-- and hard to spot, but in the same parking lot as the convenience store. I'm not an authority on Italian sandwiches but I've had my fair share from the "name" places in and around Boston, and this unknown gem from the outer suburbs ranks right up there with them. Some may argue they charge Boston prices, but for Boston quality without the Boston hassle, well worth it. Solidly in my lunch rotation.

We kicked things off with the trio of dips -- beet hummus, classic hummus, & baba ganoush -- all silky smooth perfection. Then came the kibbeh & the crispiest wings ever. For mains, we dove into the chicken shawarma wrap & the Sham mixed grill with rice -- juicy, flavorful, & worth every bite. Of course, no celebration is complete without something sweet, dessert was hareese and kunafe. From start to finish, everything was bursting with flavor & the service made it feel extra special.

Mo, who helped me with pickup, is exceptionally hospitable, friendly and kind. i ordered the mixed grill feast plate with extra chicken, rice, salad, onions + parsley, three pieces of falafel, plus white sauce, garlic sauce, and fresh tzatziki. the meal is so deliciously fragrant, with the rice smelling and tasting so nutty and sweet, and the meats & falafel seasoned and cooked to perfection. all of the seasonings tasted as if there were 500 flavors packed in and balancing each other in harmony. their sauces were all super fresh; a standard serving is enough but i wish i ordered extra just because. you don't actually need any sauces with how flavorful everything is, though. everything is seriously impressive. mixed grill feast plate 10/10 salad 10/10 falafel 10/10 sauces 10/10 i can't describe this meal as anything other than perfect, no exaggeration. i will definitely return, to eat in or for takeout. special thanks to the amazing reviews that convinced me to try sham restaurant, they are accurate and their food really is *that* good. i can't recommend sham restaurant enough! ambiance: 5/5 food: 6/5 drinks: n/a service: 6/5 sham restaurant: 5/5

Our food order (Siam Sampler, Crispy Chicken Pad Thai and Sweet & Sour Lady Fingers) all just FABULOUS! The food came out hot, presentation was nice and the colors were vibrant. Chicken moist and tender, veggies done to perfection, pad thai noodles were not overly sweet but just enough to make you want to continue eating more and more! The Siam Sampler came with 3 sauces that enhanced the flavors (the flavors were on point so the sauces were just a bonus if you like dipping)! We asked if we could put all the food in the middle of the table so we could share everything and it was not a problem at all. The bar was beautiful and the restaurant was exceptionally clean. We were certainly not rushed at all and enjoyed our time at Siam 9! We will definitely be going back and bringing many family members with us - a nice little gem in Holden for Thai food!

I remembered previously ordering a Chicken Shawarma Plate. That is now in the "Specialties" section of the menu and that's what I ordered expecting to get the same plate of delicious chicken, rice, salad and hummus. I was shocked that this $20 "Specialty" consisted of a dry chicken wrap, french fries, some sort of yogurt dip and AWFUL, salty pickled vegetables. The fries were good but you don't go to a specialty Mediterranean place to get fries with a meal described as a plate. Apparently, you can no longer get a true plate of chicken shawarma with rice here. I do plan to return again some day and try the Kofta Kebab or Mixed Grill Plate from the "Entree" section since these still come with rice but everyone should be avoiding the "Specialties" plates as these are poorly executed and severely overpriced. Regardless of what you are ordering, I would highly recommend calling in your order to confirm exactly what you are going to get with your order since the online menus have no details whatsoever.

Order online through Toast (no fees) or DoorDash (delivery). Recently, after shopping on the hill, I headed over to Cielito Lindo for takeout. I actually placed two separate orders, through Toast and Door Dash (use credits & redeem a discount). On the Toast order, I got the Birria Ramen ($15 plus tax) and 1 Al Pastor Taco ($4 plus tax). On the DoorDash pickup order, I ordered 7 Tacos ($4 plus tax each) including 2 Chorizo, 2 Chicken, 2 Asada and 1 Al Pastor and got $8 off this order with a promo. The place was quite busy with plenty of Dashers stopping by to pickup delivery orders. I waited about 20 minutes for my orders to be ready. The Tacos were really good, which were filled with tender meats, cilantro & onions in warm soft corn tortillas, limes and verde salsa on the side. The birria ramen had soft thicker ramen noodles, consome, soft birria, onions, cilantro, cheese, and limes (on the side), which was hearty and filling.
