I've had their rice vermicelli bowl a handful of times, and have been consistently impressed with the quality of the protein as well as the size of the servings. So many toppings to choose from, and we all know variety is the spice of life. This location was clean, with great service that kept the (short) line moving fast on a Friday afternoon. Solid workday lunch option!

WORMS IN FOOD.... SANITATION HAZARD!!!!!…read more I came here because they're one of the closest places downtown with good reviews. I ordered beef shawarma and asked multiple times if it was gluten free. They just stared at me bewildered and finally said no, the beef doesn't have flour. I get this plate and it looks like there's spaghetti in the rice. As I continue eating it I notice these strings are all different sizes and I'm so grossed out and horrified. The taste of food is like a 4/10 but I'm so disgusted that I can't finish it. It's too bad because I wasted $14 and I'm just visiting Boston for a short time. Unacceptable!

Meat was a bit too lean/dry which they try to make up for with nice fresh veggies and hummus. Will come back to explore more of the menu... and avoid the bread next time!

One Hundred Federal Street has a fun nickname - the Pregnant Building. If you've seen it, you'd…read moreunderstand. Well, sometime last year or so, a glass addition was built on the Congress Street side of the building. Turns out that this addition houses a handful of dining options including Blue Bottle Coffee, Bailey & Sage, and Aceituna Grill, each with their individually decorated open dining space. My order was a pita roll-up $7.95, with Shawarma chicken, and all the (non-spicy, no extra cost) fixings: Hummus Mayo Garlic Sauce Lettuce Tomatoes Pickles Pickled Turnips Onions Garlic Sauce French Fries Tahini The pita was small, and it was literally rolled up, with both ends open, not folded in on the ends like a burrito. Since I asked for both initial spreads, the hummus spoon was then used to spread them on my pita and dropped back in with the hummus. A cross-contamination possibility for those for whom this would be an issue. My bundle was delivered to me wrapped in two white (waxed?) sheets, which for immediate consumption could be sufficient. Be careful in case of drippage, however, they do have foil sheets if you ask. It was okay in terms of taste, however the bundle was wrapped a bit loose and lacking in generosity. I also belatedly realized that the fries never made it into my roll-up.

I wish they weren't so skimpy with the tablespoon of hummus, and the rice pilaf and salads could use a little more seasoning.

For a quick work lunch I swung by Falafel King at 1230. While the line looked intimidating, almost…read morereaching the entrance, I knew that the establishment processed orders quickly (almost as efficiently as the Chipotle across the street), so I lined up. The line took 5 minutes to get to me, where I placed my order for the Chicken Shwarma Salad (~$13 and change). As per usual, I received one falafel dipped in hummus to consume as a snack while going through the ordering process. The salad is a combination of a bed of lettuce and the Middle Eastern style cucumber and tomato salad. You get ~3x the amount of the cucumber tomato salad compared to what you get in the rice plate (usually the rice plate's cucumber tomato salad occupies the small square in the take out box). You get a big scoop of hummus sitting in the other take out box's small square. A generous amount of chicken adorned the salad. The food is a solid 4*, great for work lunch and with generous portions. Being distracted with a piece of falafel while in line seems a bit silly, but really brightens up my experience (yeah I know everyone gets this treatment, but still).
