    Tereyagli Karides - loved dipping the bread in the sauce!
    Tianna D.

    One of the few places open on 4th of July if you are looking for something to eat like we were! I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and the food here. The restaurant wasn't busy so we got to choose our seats. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It was my first time having Turkish food and it was great. We for appetisers we ordered the Haydari, Yaprak Sarma "Grape Vine Leaves", Humus, Antep Ezme and the Tereyaglo Karides and the Mixed Grill platter for 3 of us to share and we were all stuffed by the end. Our server asked if we wanted dessert and even the thought of it made us feel fuller, but we all had a Turkish coffee which came with a Turkish delight which I thought was nice.

    The food was amazing Definitely get the cold and warm meze plates. You get to try a little of everything. The meat on the plates were so juicy and well seasoned. I can't wait to come back here again!!!

    Absolutely loved the food. The service was great and they helped us understand the menu items. The bread and hummus were complimentary and I felt like I should go there again just for the bread. The serving size was huge and we left fully stuffed. The lamb was amazing and very flavorful. 100% will be back here.

    We came here as a group of friends and ordered the variety meat plate to share. The food itself was decent--some meats were flavorful, others a bit dry--but overall it was okay for the price. We sat outside, which we were initially excited about, but unfortunately, there was a noticeable smell coming from a nearby dumpster. That really took away from the experience. Service was another weak point. The waiter barely checked on us, so anytime we needed anything, we had to just sit and wait until she eventually came around. It felt like we were on her schedule, not the other way around. Not a terrible experience, but definitely room for improvement.

    Mix Grill ($50) - cooked well but everything tasted very similar :/  A note if you're sharing: there is only 1 lamb chop

    I am genuinely baffled at the overwhelmingly positive reviews below. I recall they had a promotion on social media offering folks a giftcard to dine in, I wonder if that influenced the reviews...? We ordered the mix grill, grilled chicken wings, eggplant & peppers appetizer, kofte kibbeh appetizer, & lentil soup Pros: - there are a few parking spots out front and a parking lot next-door - the red meat was cooked nicely, not overcooked & not salty - the kofte kibbeh was crunchy - the eggplant and peppers appetizer was the highlight of the meal. Very tasty! - the lentil soup bowl / portion was generous - complimentary refills on turkish tea Cons: - the chicken wings looked amazing on the outside but were under-cooked (bloody & that smooth rubbery texture raw chicken tends to have) on the inside. - They served rolls at the table instead of lavash. When we asked about it, they said lavash was only available upon request. Since it was our first time at the restaurant, we didn't know we had to request it explicitly. - The lavash we got was basically a white flour tortilla, we regretted asking for it. - The service was disappointing - when we pointed out the undercooked chicken to our server, she stared at us shocked like a deer in headlights. A man from the kitchen (presumably the chef) came out & his response was - verbatim - "that's the fatty part of the wing, you don't eat that anyway" When we explicitly said we'd like to send the wings back, he grabbed the plate rudely and walked away without saying another word. No apology. During the first half of the meal (appetizers), the servers were very attentive refilling water and tea. But as the meal went on, service was scarce. We had to manually wave our hands to get the servers' attention as both of them seemed to be in deep conversation with each other with their backs facing us. - All of the different meats & chicken in the mix grill tasted the same - The kofte kibbeh was bland, even with the tomato sauce - We sat inside and despite being the only party in the restaurant at the time we came in, we were placed at a table in front of the bathroom door - my chair (multicolored fabric) was so uncomfortable. The middle of the seat sags and I could feel the springs were on their last legs. I was shifting uncomfortably throughout the evening. Overall - especially with every review i read online & their stellar social media presence - this was a huge let down.

    Kadaif (recommend!) and baklava.
    Maia E.

    I visited on Friday around noon and had a great experience. We ordered the hot meze platter, which included falafel, sigara borek, icli kofte, manti, and enginar mucveri--all delicious. The standout was the manti (Turkish dumplings with beef filling)--the wrappers were just the right thickness, and the dumplings were bathed in a rich, garlicky yogurt sauce. Highly recommend! The platter also came with thick, pillowy pita bread reminiscent of focaccia. To drink, we had Turkish coffee, which was deep, bold, and served with a little Turkish delight. I also tried salgam for the first time. The server kindly warned me that it's not like juice, and they were right--it's more like pickle brine, salty and earthy with a bold, fermented flavor. For dessert, we ordered kadaif and baklava. The kadaif stood out--served warm, perfectly flaky, and just the right amount of sweetness. The baklava, however, was a bit dense and could have been flakier. Overall, the food was flavorful and well-prepared, and I'd definitely return for more tasty Turkish food!

    Was recommended this spot from a friend because she saw videos from IG. I have to say food was decent and definitely not a common cuisine in Boston. Passed by this rotary often but never noticed this spot. First impression is that this spot is BUSY and is compact with tables inches from each other. Not the spot for a quiet dinner but perfect for a spot for socializing. Parking was a little difficult as there are mostly reserved spots we couldn't find any other spots so we parked there (seems like that's what others do too) I would recommend getting their sampler plates to try out a bit of everything.

    Came here on a Friday at 6:30 and we were seated immediately. It was fairly quiet that evening. Service was prompt and we put in our order for baba ganoush, kibbeh, and the cig kofte for appetizers. They were all excellent! I ordered the karniyarik which was a special consisting of a baby eggplant stuffed with ground beef and covered in tomato sauce. Had great flavor! We've been here three or four times now in the last few months and can't recommend it enough!

    First time eating inside the dining room (I'm usually perched out on the terrace outside)- lots of seating and it was nice to see it completely packed on a Friday night. Food was delicious as usual, generous servings. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Everything came out quickly even though there were plenty of diners. Will keep coming back!

    Lavash Grille is a cozy & comfortable Turkish restaurant with a fantastic menu. We sat down without a reservation pretty quickly on a saturday night around 8. The service was fast and efficient and all of our food came out nice hot. We shared the halloumi appetizer, the borek appetizer, and the mixed grill platter. The apps were delicious and all of the meat that came on the platter was super juicy and tender. The dish could have used a bit more rice for two people but overall it was fantastic. For dessert we had turkish coffees that came served with turkish delights, and an absolutely delicious Turkish dessert that was similar to flan and tasted like rice pudding. We will definitely be back!

    Thus is the best Turkish food I have had in the Boston/Cambridge This restaurants offers the most authentic turkish food with a huge menu! When you step inside, there are tons of tables and when I got there around lunch time, it filled up quickly. We got the small meze appetizer plate along with some hot meze appetizers. The hummus was so fresh and all the food tasted handmade. The falafel? wow. We also got a huge meat tasting platter! Out of all the meats, the lamb chops were my favorite. I was expecting it to be a bit tough because most are, but the meat pulled apart so easily. Every meat was flavorful and authentic, especially the skewered meats! The restaurant also offers authentic Turkish coffee, made in sand!! This is the original way coffee was made in Turkey and the owner, Mesut, takes pride in being able to use it here. They also have a pre-fixe breakfast menu every day so check them out at ANY time of the day!!!

    The location of this place is rather hard to find but it's worth the find. Sharing a building with a rental car center and dance hall, Lavash is a hidden gem. The decor is warm and inviting, maybe not the most comfortable seats and tables, but they're fine. The kibbeh meze is good, with a crispy exterior and warm and soft ground lamb and bulger wheat interior. The marinara sauce side is curious but it works. The lamb shish entree is tremendous, with a diversity of color. It's quite a feast for the eyes and stomach. The lamb is grilled nicely though I wouldn't mind it being a little more rare. The rice with chickpeas with the bulgur wheat in tomato sauce is really filling. The salad is quite colorful and the components complement each other (carrots, red onion, pickled cabbage, etc.) I had some of the kofke too and enjoyed the grilled ground lamb. The Turkish tea was a wonderful ending to the dinner and is a relaxing drink to end the night. Service is friendly, but short-staffed. I think the restaurant anticipated that it was going to be fairly busy on Wednesday night.

We were greeted by the owner and made to feel comfortable as soon as we walked in. This time, as usual, we started with the red lentil soup and hummus. Both delicious and the hummus as smooth as silk and not over-loaded with tahini. We tried the fried calamari for the first time, and I wouldn't order that again; I think it's a frozen product they simply reheat; the sauce that came with it was good and the calamari tasty, but not what you're looking for if you want calamari. Our choice of entree is usually get the Fainting Imam, stuffed eggplant with vegetables, pine nuts and raisins, and it is heavenly, but this time I decided to experiment and ordered the Vegetable Mousakka With Béchamel Sauce. I was a little disappointed in the dish; it was made up of a variety of vegetables, sliced thin and layered. There was a piece of fried potato I couldn't cut through; it was really crunchy-hard. I ate it; it was good, but too done. What disappointed me was the absence of Bechamel sauce; it may have been there, but if it was, I couldn't taste or see it. Maybe a foam??? That was one of my reasons for trying the dish; I expected more of a Pastitsio-like layer of Bechamel or at least something I could discern in the dish. The Shepphard salad did not come with my entree (I don't know why? It comes with the Imam?), but I had to order it; it is out of this world. Simple and delicious. Particularly appealing to me is that they do not include large pieces of green pepper in the salad; there were a few bits, but not overwhelming. Next time, I might just get that salad, the soup and some hummus!!! I may have whined a little here, but don't let anything I said keep you away from Pasha. The owner, the staff and the food are wonderful.

They also have a sizeable menu and a whole dessert case by the register. There is outdoor seating and a decent amount of indoor seating. It is spacious inside, but the night that we went was empty (Thursday night). Where this restaurant loses points is the service. Unfortunately, our server was very difficult to work with on getting our orders correct. Multiple times she got our order wrong or forgot what we got and had to come back to the table to get the order again. Additionally, when the food was coming out, she was giving it to the wrong people at the table (party of 7 in an empty restaurant) and 2 of the plates came out very late compared to the others (about a 15 minute difference). This made 2 people feel left out eating with the rest of the table. When the 2 remaining plates finally came out, one of them was the wrong one!! At that point, we already shared our food with the other 2 people and they weren't even hungry anymore and were frustrated. Overall, service was very slow and confusing. Our server was nice, but she either needed more training or attention to detail. Considering we were the only customers at that time, this was a very surprising experience.
