TW/CW: Takeout only…read more Somerville. Home of overpriced, over-fancy, Americanized restaurants - and this one hidden gem. Good luck finding parking in downtown Somerville, but since we had good luck with that, I was optimistic we would have good luck with finding food. Walking around the historic cars that love to show off every Friday on Main Street (we learned), we walked down the pedestrian-only Division Street and got here. And I said "hmm - it had nice Yelp reviews, but I wasn't expecting a tiny takeout-only place." So we kept looking. But got drawn back here. Thanks, Dad! This is a little Egyptian eatery owned and staffed by none other than Mo himself. Here you will find a small menu of classic, authentic Mediterranean/Middle East foods that you would find in Cairo. While they were sold out of the dessert I wanted to try, the Hawawshiiii struck me as a must-eat. My dad got the classic chicken kebab sandwich. I offer the following: * Everyone's beaten me to the punch on the amazing portion size you get for the amazing price. * Everyone's beaten me to the punch on how amazing the food tastes. I devoured my hawawshiii and my dad's leftovers. The pita was so soft and fresh that his sandwich was wrapped in. I sopped up my creamy hummus side with it. * During peak period, expect a 20 minute wait for your order. But you've got peak Somerville to explore. On Fridays at 7, live music sets up so we enjoyed some music and poked into a couple of other stores to eat up the time. Not bad at all. I hope Mo Grill makes it and can expand into a full restaurant. I would love to see them succeed going forward, a most deserving and meritous owner who treats his customers with kindness, caring, and the best Egyptian food you may ever have.

We went in and ordered the beef shawarma. Waited less than 10 minutes and we're off to having a great lunch. The guy who helped us was super friendly. He didn't mind my questions and the indecisiveness of a small child. The place is small inside and has signs up that you cannot eat in there. I have a feeling that has to be the town saying that since you could totally like two people sit front And eat a quick lunch. Minimalistic inside before a place that doesn't allow eat and dining. It makes a lot of sense. All in all I would come here again. I think the food is pretty good.

It has expanded and taken up a bit more space over the years, and the expansion is well-deserved. Featuring a Pura Vida Costa Rican flare you have a number of options available for both breakfast and lunch. I've tried quite a bit of the menu, but they are known for their tried and true empanadas. They have about half a dozen varieties and I end up getting at least one of each every time I visit. They're hot, big, flavorful, and the shell is a perfect consistency. The waitstaff is some of the friendliest around. The outdoor seating is also quite nice in the summertime alongside the pedestrian street. In terms of the menu, it's hard to say there is a standout, because I get something different each time, and I have yet to go wrong. Everything here is absolutely excellent, and I look forward to each return visit to come.

I will say usually to go food isn't that great but the food here was really good. The steak was cooked a little over medium (I like my steak medium) and could use some more seasoning (just my preference) but it was tender and everything was still hot by time I got to work. The space is very intimate but the atmosphere is very inviting. Definitely check this place out and tell Muhammad I said hi!!!!

I also love how menus vary in general so you get a chance to try different options. My server was fairly new but extremely accommodating and made it a point to clarify or get clarification on everything. He also asked what sort of flavor profile I was looking for and got chef recommendations (with some adjustments offered). 5 star service! Some of their dishes use seitan / tofu and some use an in-house made plant based protein. Salt and Pepper chkn- super crispy. Only thing it needs a dipping sauce! I asked for hot mustard (house made) and mixed in some soy. Main- I got some garlic pepper crispy chkn in a house sauce. This was amazing. Savory, perfect amt of sauce They had some thai dishes, jamaican dishes (patties!) and malaysian options. Will be back!

We were welcomed in upon arrival, the food was prepared quick and delivered to our table. The ambiance is nothing fancy but the overall feel was comfortable. I love that the owners address each other as "sweetheart". They treat each other with love and that is what they put into the food. The chicken tenders are pretty big, the owners suggested 1-2 for my son and he was right. He ate 1 and it was more than enough for him. I had the mango platter. The mango was fresh, and the portion was just right. It was tasty and again all fresh. My husband got the shrimp tacos and the tacos were huge.

We're allium free vegetarians and as soon as I saw this place is fully vegetarian AND they offer…read moreallium-free options, I was thrilled. Not to mention the fact that it is fully vegan/vegetarian THAI food; I haven't encountered one recently. If you're Jain, check out this place! We were visiting and in the area so made sure to drop by for lunch on a Sunday. In addition to having no onion, no garlic options, they are also knowledgeable about food allergies! Color me impressed! But back to that allium-free thing: there are usually limited options at places that claim they have a menu for those restrictions, but we could have most of the menu here! My youngest is allergic to wheat, eggs, avocado, peanuts (iffy since this is a Thai restaurant), tree nuts, pineapples, and kiwi, but he could have a decent amount of things as well. They also have a gluten-free sauce option so he doesn't have to miss out on flavor! The menu is actually primarily vegan for the most part but you can add egg for an additional $1. It can go either way though. In addition, spice level and items that contain wheat/gluten are indicated on the menu. They have sections for appetizers, soup, curries, noodles, dishes with rice, fried rice, dessert, and drinks. We ended up getting a little bit of everything (all allium free) because we weren't sure what our youngest would like: ROTI - I got this for my eldest, who is picky. But she loves carbs. I knew she'd love peel-apart roti and dip it in the curry... and I was right? She loved it. The curry is super flavorful and the spiciest thing we ordered. This matches with the previous times I've had this dish. TOM KHA - a coconut-based soup that isn't spicy and a nice combination of tangy and savory. This is one of the items that we got in case our youngest liked it. He didn't (very foreign flavors for him), but at least the adults did. FRIED OYSTER MUSHROOMS - oh, my. I would get this every time I go. Absolutely delicious and lightly crisp. Juicy insides, but nowhere was the dish wet. The chili salt for sprinkling/dipping was perfection. Pad Thai (peanuts on the side) - another item we got for our youngest. I'm getting the impression he doesn't like sweet/sour/tangy flavors (or he needs to get acclimated since this is his first exposure to it) because he didn't really like this one either. The adults enjoyed it though! Mango Curry - a fairly mild curry and delicious and came with a small bowl of rice. I'm not sure if they would have provided another bowl of rice because it would have been too small if it were for my husband, who is a bottomless pit for rice (he would have needed 2-3 of those bowls at least). The flavors were there! This was a winner with my youngest, but mostly just the rice and soup. The vegetables weren't cooked well enough for him (he likes them softer). Mild with a nice sweetness from the mango. We ordered quite a bit considering the fact that our kids don't eat that much, so we opted out of dessert, but we did get drinks (oat milk is the vegan milk alternative)! Both kids got orange and apple juice, respectively. The adults got: THAI ICED TEA - I enjoyed mixing the milk together (I chose regular milk) where it had that signature orange color. Tasted perfect as well! Not too much ice so when they did melt, it didn't taste watered down. THAI ICED COFFEE - This was my husband's, who loves coffee. But he likes black coffee. No, They cannot make this not sweet (he asked). I really liked this one too! You can taste the Thai tea and though it is sweet, it's not too sweet. It was the perfect marriage between Thai tea and coffee. Hubby thought it was fine because it was sweet (he prefers black, unsweetened, hot), but he thought it wasn't bad. I'd order this for myself. This place is located in a shopping strip with other eateries and businesses with ample parking. The decor seemed somewhat incomplete but the place was clean. Tables were cleaned promptly and staff were super helpful! It isn't all that brightly lit, but not in a bad way. While there, they had a steady trickle of customers and the same amount of take out/delivery orders. Food was great and reasonably priced. Owner is Buddhist; traditional Buddhist cuisine is allium-free, which explains the extensive options for those who follow that diet. AND both of my kids liked something there. Plus my kid with the multiple food allergies had no issues. Yay! Count us in for future visits! Looking forward to trying more things.
