That's a heavy load to take on and he does a great job at it. Everything is super cheap here and taste great. If you're a student at Middlesex Community college like me. Let's face it, theres days when we're broke and need a place to grab a cheap quick lunch. This is definitely the spot. Pizza rolls: I love these things. He made them perfectly and you can tell he hand rolls them himself. And they're only a $1!! Double cheeseburger: BOMB! I'm so picky with burgers. I don't give a shit if it's messy looking, lets be real. If it tastes good, it's serving it's purpose. I'm super picky and customized it as I liked and he accommodated it. Thank you! Not many places do! Fries: perfectly crunchy. Not soft and soggy like most places. Maybe a little less seasoning. I know not a lot of people like spicy foods. But I enjoy it. Chicken Kabob Plate: my boyfriend and I split this because of how big it was. We ordered it with extra rice instead of the usual side of salad it comes with. The owner offered us either Indian or Spanish rice. We went with the Spanish and it tasted great, it even had vegetables in it. The chicken was nice and juicy with grilled peppers and onions. The rice and chicken had a nice kick to it. Not too spicy and just flavor. Chicken and Fries (not pictured): My boyfriend devoured this. The chicken is definitely not anything like crown fried or Jacqueline's chicken. The owner literally uses his own recipe. My boyfriend loved it and the chicken looked really fresh and juicy. He swallowed the thing before I even got a chance to take a picture of it lol. Please go visit guys! This little place has so much potential. It might seem a little stand off it by the looks of it but it's worth going in and trying it out The owner is so sweet, he even offered my boyfriend a free banana milkshake while he waited for the food to be done. Thanks Jimmy! Try it out! You won't regret it !

Limited parking for the plaza is available across the street. We found street parking. There are about 8 tables and the place is very popular by locals of all different nationalities.

Our server was a young man (about 18) that was super nice and also gave us recommendations. Hot tea was brought to the table a few minutes lates. We started with their spring rolls that were freshly fried and very. I went with the flat noodles with seafood for my main course. Sauce was delicious and the overall dish was fantastic.

Really saddens me to write this review since I was so looking forward to eating here. I had an…read moreawful experience here and cannot see myself coming back, especially for the prices they charge. Perhaps we caught them on an off day, but it was bad. There was only one other table when we arrived. We ordered and waited about 10 minutes. Lentil soup was brought out. It was okay. 10 minutes later, we received our grape leaves... that cost $14.99. We were given four pieces (see photo). That's pretty outrageous. But okay, noted- we'll make sure not to order that next time. Another 10 minutes later, my partner received his falafel wrap. It just wasn't that good. It was pressed so there's no crispy falafel, just squished texture. It also wasn't flavorful at all. I'm waiting for my dish (grilled fish), and by the time my partner finishes the wrap, I see the waitress bringing out grilled fish... which she promptly gives to a table that just sat down. Another table starts to walk out because it's taking so long, but the owner stops them. I let the owner know that I'm ready to leave because my partner is done with dinner and I'm done waiting. She assures me that my fish will be out within 5 minutes. Eventually it comes out, but at this point I'm been waiting for about an hour, everything was brought out so slowly, and the food just wasn't that good. Well the fish and rice was fantastic - great flavor for both. Devoured the whole thing. We also ordered baklava, and again.. disappointing. Too much syrup and soaked to the point of being gummy. This was about $80 for everything. Although the fish was good, I can't handle the bad service and disappointing food.

One of the worst dining experiences I've had. I live in New Hampshire and visited this restaurant…read morefor the first time, and unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the buffet. They charge around $25 per person, but the quality of the food was nowhere near what I would expect for that price. Many of the dishes tasted stale or as though they had been sitting out for a long time. The food wasn't hot--or even properly warm--and almost every item I tried was disappointing. For $25, customers should at least be able to expect fresh, properly prepared, hot food. I really don't understand the positive reviews for the buffet based on my experience. I can't comment on their à la carte menu because I didn't try it, but I personally would not recommend the buffet. I hope the restaurant takes customer feedback seriously and improves the freshness, temperature, and overall quality of the food.

Chez Rafiki's is a gourmet food truck that began operations in Lowell, Massachusetts in September…read more2016. It was founded by chef Lhoussine Rafiq. Originally hailing from Casablanca, Morocco, Chef Rafiq is a graduate of Boston's Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts. After working at several Boston restaurants, Rafiq decided to start his own food truck. Chez Rafiki's serves authentic Halal Mediterranean cuisine made with fresh local ingredients. Some of the menu staples include falafel, chicken shawarma, gyro, kofta, and salads. Chez Rafiki's travel all over Massachusetts bringing their delicious food to various craft breweries, festivals and private catering events. I recently enjoyed some food from Chez Rafiki's at Tree House Brewing Company in Charlton. I was visiting the brewery with my two-year-old son and we decided to get some food from the food truck. I was excited to see that Chez Rafiki's was the food truck that day because I love Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine. After looking over the menu, I decided to order Chez Rafiki's Special: the "Chicken Killer" (Rice, Fries, Chicken Shawarma, Pickled Red Onion, Tomatoes, Lettuce, Garlic Sauce, Feta Cheese). I also ordered a side of Falafel. I absolutely loved the Chicken Killer; a symphony of Mediterranean flavors and spices. My son has never tried this kind of cuisine before. He wouldn't touch the Chicken Killer but he absolutely loved the Falafel. He happily gobbled down half of the Falafel balls. I would definitely order from Chez Rafiki's again if I saw them at another brewery or festival.

There was a bathroom smell right when we entered the restaurant, because the bathrooms are positioned right at the bottom of the stairs when you walk in the building. But, besides that the food was pretty good. I wouldn't say this is an authentic Indian restaurant destination. But, I'd come back here again to try the Indian buffet out since cheaper than eating dinner à la carte.

So we just ordered the lunch menu and ordered a mini buffet for ourselves. Ordered the onion pakora as an appetizer. For some reason I thought it was going to come with some sort of sauce.

The veggie option was the malai kofta. (I liked this one the best, bc it was sweet) . It's vegetable cheese dumplings in a cashew sauce. the chicken option was the priya chicken special.
