The combo kebab platter was very good - juicy kebabs, balanced flavors, and very fresh salad to go with it. I also got a chicken soup (not pictured) that came with bread - very hearty and warming on a cold evening. The rice pudding came as a complimentary item and was delicious - not too sweet, with a puddingy jello-like flavor. The only thing I could have used was some sort of sauce for the kebabs (a chutney or something). I've had the lahmacun before and it's also very good and flavorful. I'll be ordering again the next time I'm in town!

It was bursting with flavor and reminded me of home. I also have to give a shoutout to the tabbouleh - it was so fresh and delicious. The portions were huge and the food was filling, and it was very well priced as well. As for the ambience, it is quite small and crowded - but it is cozy. The servers were so lovely - they are all Lebanese, which really shows the authenticity of the place. They made us feel really welcome and it actually felt like we were in the Middle East! The food did take a while to come out though - but other than that no complaints. I'm so glad I tried Olba!

(but I'm sure the record shops were closed, if there are even any still open these days) however that may be why the food was terrible so YMMV. I should have known better seeing that they did not sell shawarma that it was going to be a disappointing experience. I ordered the mix plate - around $22 total. The gyro meat was so dry that when reheated, took on a crunchy texture. The chicken did not please. it was lacking in flavor. The rice seemed to be basic white rice, which surprised me because most mediterranean/arabic restaurants have really great tasty rice. the bread that came with the meal was pretty good, but with the other elements of the meal being subpar, it was not enjoyable at all. The selection of drinks there is basic soda that's either high in sugar or high in caffeine, I suppose thats typical since many college students live in this area. I don't think I'll return. I finished maybe half of it, and reluctantly threw the rest away (I hate wasting food but this was not even food I would give to the homeless).

Ordered: Zaatar & Cheese Flatbread (~$8)…read more Aya's take: Being Lebanese myself, I love a good manousheh (aka flatbread) and didn't expect to see a place making them here in Boston. The Zaatar & Cheese Flatbread was made fresh. The zaatar was nicely spiced and slightly sweet which I'm not used to, the cheese they use is mozzarella which isn't traditional, and the dough is super thin crust which is also not traditional. Zaatar is typically earthy, nutty, and lemony from the oregano and sumac and the cheese should've been Akawi cheese. The dough should also be slightly thicker and fluffier. It would've been nice if they did the Zaatar on one side and the Cheese on the other side. We saw the table next to us get their's that way and I wish it was offered to us like that as that's my preferred option. Nonetheless, decent try and always happy to support an Arab business!

The menu is updated a little, but the one constant is the high quality, fresh, and very flavorful food. I rarely order salads at restaurants, but I cannot resist their chopped salad with chicken a la plancha. It's so good! Their warm, fluffy pita is heavenly, as is their creamy hummus and tahini. One of my few criticisms is that I wish they were more generous with their tiny sides of hummus, tahini, zhug, pickled turnips, etc. Those accoutrements really make the meal, and a $15 salad can quickly turn into a $20+ meal which seems a little steep for a fast casual concept. The quality and taste will keep me coming back.
