The food was delicious, authentic and fresh. We had several cold appetizers, manti (veg and beef), doner with bulgur, baklava and ice cream. Simple, but pleasant interior. Friendly and helpful staff. I rate 4.5, but will give 5 as no intermediate option. Improvements would mainly be timing of different courses delivered at table (was fast, but more time between mezzo and mains would be better). I believe that this small business has even greater potential. read more

Food is fabulous here! Took my parents and husband and toddler for a family dinner and we enjoyed everything we ordered. Stuffed artichoke - how do they get the artichokes so perfectly between tender and firm?? Salads are all so fresh. Turkish dumplings - so tasty. We enjoyed all of our entrees very much. The service is friendly. It's a casual environment - you pay when you order and then they bring it out to you - a great flow for families with young kids. Have to come back to try the Turkish ice cream next time :) read more

To me, whenever I think about Boston, all I know is its strong seafood presence. However being in the suburbs of Boston, it gave me the opportunity to try other cuisines, and I was excited to see this authentic Turkish restaurant not far from my hotel. Ironically, I found this place when I was looking up ice cream. They serve authentic Turkish ice cream, and it's been something I've been wanting to try. In addition to the ice cream, I ordered Manti (Turkish dumplings) and Uludag soda (which they say is a Turkish ginger ale). I loooooooooved the Manti. While the dumplings were filled with meat, the dish overall felt light since each dumpling is like the size of a quarter. The dumplings had a nice chew, and the sauces made the dish rich yet creamy. The Uludag soda was definitely much lighter than a ginger ale. Tasted like a light citrusy drink, and it's less sweet than American sodas. The ice cream had a nice pull and chew, although it didn't look as stretchy as Turkish ice creams I've seen. Nice amount of pistachio flavor throughout. I came on a weekday lunch, so there was ample seating inside. Ordering is done via a QR code on your table or on a tablet stand in the middle of the restaurant. Service was quick and friendly, making it a great experience overall. read more

Our first time eating here and I can't wait to go back! My friends and I ordered and share a bunch of dishes, and we loved everything. Moussaka beef, spinach dumplings, bulghur, vegan kofta, and then got dessert next door -- rice pudding and a raspberry/pistachio chocolate cake. The entire meal was fabulous. read more

A gem of a place that serves authentic Turkish dishes! Dolma was spacious and it felt so inviting. The staff were very welcoming and they answered all of my questions. My friend and I ordered three dishes that were absolutely filling and flavorful. The standout favorite was the moussaka which was beef, eggplant, and tomato sauce. It came with soft and pillowy pita bread that soaked up all of the goodness. Another highlight was the Manti which are Turkish dumplings. The Manti were bite sized dumplings topped with a garlicky yogurt sauce. It was comfort in a bowl! My friend and I were completely satisfied by our experience with the variety of food that Dolma had to offer. There was street parking outside. Dolma had plenty of indoor seating and they offer outdoor seating (unheated). read more

I only tried their icecream. Quite tasteless, and enormously expensive for the tiniest scoops I've ever seen!

Fantastic mezze and bread! Got takeout and I was delighted with the food! Will definitely be going back soon

I can't believe I've lived nearby for 4 years and it took so long to try this place! First of all, I really appreciate how everything is labeled vegetarian and gf. They were also so helpful with navigating my allergies. My husband and I got a ton of food for takeout dinner and leftovers. I loved the lentil eggplant moussaka! I actually ended up mixing it with the spinach manti since I can't eat red pepper sauce. The hummus tastes homemade and the tzatziki is garlicky and excellent. Put your pita that comes with it under the broiler for a minute on each side and thank me later! I wish the spinach feta pie had more filling, but some people might really like the dough. The lima bean stuffed artichokes were fantastic (I feel like I usually only see fried artichokes on menus). The stuffed grape leaves were really interesting and definitely different than the Greek version I've had before. I can't wait to try more items, especially the baked falafel and kaitafi! read more

The staff are so incredibly kind and the food is delicious and hearty. The interior is well lit and cheery- a place you could stand to linger and enjoy your meal. I placed a 10-person order for a work retreat and every order/special request was honored. They even took the time to write our names on the takeout containers. I'll certainly be coming back on my own time. Dolma is well worth the visit! read more

This is a great option for take out or catering: everything is neatly packaged up in compostable or recyclable packaging, labeled clearly, and ready to eat. The chicken lemon soup and the red lentil fingers were my two favorites of the meal and I would have been very happy with just the 2 of them (bonus: also super healthy!), but there wasn't anything I didn't like. I did think the baked leek-spinach falafel would be a bit more flavorful, but the yogurt garlic sauce helped on that front. Each entree looks to be a bit $$$ but ends up coming with a choice of app, side and sauce, so is a complete meal in itself- but you'll want to get yourself some of the bread (the variety basket is a nice option) and more of the dips and apps (we got the 3 item platter, with hummus, tzatziki, and grape leaves), and of course some baklava or kataifi. You'll be full of tasty, healthy food. Much of this felt pre-prepped and ready to go, so there's definitely a heavy catering vibe here- take that for what it's worth. read more

Very cute and cozy restaurant, and the food was very satisfying. Went here for lunch and they had a table for 4 available. We were able to order directly from the app using the QR code on our table. We ordered vegetarian grape leaves and pita and hummus to start us off. The grape leaves were delicious and so was the hummus. For our entrées, we ordered pepperoni panini, shakshuka, and salmon bake bowl. Food was nicely portioned, we didn't have any leftovers and satisfying for an afternoon meal. We ended our meal with some warm Turkish tea and coffee. read more

This is a quaint family run restaurant with a very friendly staff. There's a large menu and variety of options to choose from. We ordered the lamb stew and chicken saute wrap with tzatziki and a salad on the side. We were not disappointed, the chicken wrap and the tzatziki were the standouts, very fresh and filling. read more

Guess which restaurant is a new favorite- yep Dolma!! I love finding new gems like this :) We ordered delivery, food came pretty quickly. As someone else also noted, food was all packed nicely and all in non-plastic containers. And look at the pic how cute the bag had these hearts on it - love the little detail!! As usual we got many dishes - chicken orzo soup, salmon, chicken sauté, eggplant moussakka w lentils, and the shawarma wrap. For each entree you get to choose a carb (rice, bulgur etc) and a cold app (many choices) and pita. We chose rice, tzatziki, sheppard salad, okra and vegan kofte. All the food tasted really good and fresh. Chicken soup was lemony and tasty. Salmon had a nice flavor, chicken dish was flavorful, and the eggplant was really tasty. Tzatziki was very creamy and yummy, and I liked the cucumber pieces in it. The okra was nice too maybe a little over cooked and mushy but still tasty. Salad was nice crunchy with cucumber, tomato, onion,and green peppers very fresh. The amount of rice that comes with each dish could be increased imo especially since most entrees are in the ~$20 range. The vegan kofte was not quite what I expected and a bit too sour for me. Hubs enjoyed the shawarma wrap - although he found a pickle in it and we had requested no pickle. Anyway, lots of leftovers so we'll be enjoying those for a few lunches. All in all, great fresh authentic tasting food! Definitely will be ordering again to try their other dishes. Can't wait! read more

My wife and I were invited by friends to eat at Dolma in Brookline, MA. Was surprised by the location off of a main road, tucked in a residential area. Was more surprised by how fabulous the food was!!! Everything is made from scratch, with the freshest ingredients from Turkish recipes of the chef's Aunt. Boy did she do her justice. The tabouli with lots of mint was without a doubt the best I have ever had. Same goes for the mousakah and rice, without the heavy sauce and cheese that are found on most. For dessert, the rice pudding and baklava were exceptional, but for me, nothing was better then the thick, sweet Turkish coffee, served with a sweet piece of Turkish Delight. We will gladly drive the 40 minutes to go there again soon! read more

Food was good but weird layout for 1st timer. Didn't know it was self seating and you order by app. Signage or directions probably would of help. But overall food was good and service ok read more

I loved this place when they first opened however, just so so now. Portions on sides have continually gotten smaller and prices have increased outrageously. This is not a new change. I use to just buy 2-3 sides as a meal. The bottom of container is sometimes barely covered. Everything is served on disposable dinnerware ( which is fine) but the cost is rather high for what you get. The quality is good - sometimes heavy on the salt, but it is still fresh and homemade. They are often out of many sides as well. Good to check before going. Outdoor seating has gotten a bit nicer so that is a plus :) read more

Nice people, cute place, and tasty food made with love. They also have a sister cafe with deserts. Also delicious. We will be back!

Nice neighborhood restaurant, friendly owners. You order from the kiosk or from your phone at a table and they bring out to you. The food was delicious! Loved the vegan kofte and the beef moussaka. read more

Love this place! It's close to where I live and I'm so happy to have it in the neighborhood. Everything I have tried is delicious and as someone who eats mostly vegan and vegetarian I appreciate all of the offerings they have that I can eat. Especially delicious are the vegetarian kofte which have so much flavor. They're a little spicy, and perfectly well balanced with seasoning. The folx who own and work at this restaurant are lovely and kind. Definitely recommend for someone who is vegan or vegetarian. read more

The food was tasty so I forgot to photograph! We got the chicken orzo soup, shepherds' salad, manti, and the mousakka entree. The soup and salad were both tasty. The manti was probably my favorite, with this lovely garlic yogurt complementing the well spiced dumplings. The mousakka had more meat than we expected, but it was a pleasant surprise! Welcome to the neighborhood Dolma! read more

Took my mom there for dinner today. It was our first time there. We both LOVED the place. The food was excellent. The space was clean and friendly and felt fresh and and comfortable. The staff were super sweet. Did I mention the food was delicious? It was delicious. We had the manti, the spinach pie (börek) and bulgur. We were seated inside, but they also have outdoor seating. My dad's mom was trained in home economics in Türkiye and her her cooking was fabulous. Even she would have loved this place. If you want a good home-cooked Turkish meal, this is the place. read more

This is the best Turkish food I have ever had in the area! When I first went to Dolma, I got upset that I found out about it late. The meals are home cooked. A lot of it tastes like my mother's food:') As a Turkish foodie who has been living in MA for 7 years, I highly recommend this place! (Also great service and very kind staff) read more
