    Dessert menu
    Della S.

    I would come back just for their dessert! Two of us stopped by on a weekday evening for dinner. I made the reservation online a couple days in advance and was able to reserve bar seats at pretty much any hour. Since I booked only a few days ahead of time, the dining room was completely booked out during peak dinner hours. We decided to split the eggplant fatteh ($15), Spanish octopus ($20), date molasses BBQ steak tips ($18), and grilled whole fish ($32). The mezza arrived very quickly. Our favorite was the eggplant fatteh, which had a tasty combination of tart yogurt, earthy pine nuts, and smoky eggplant. We also enjoyed the Spanish octopus but I felt that the fennel yogurt was lacking in fennel flavor. Although the steak tips were tasty, they were a little bit dry and the butternut squash puree had extremely faint flavor and seasoning. I'm not sure if I would order the steak tips again, but I would highly recommend the other two mezza we tried. We were pretty hungry so we polished off the mezza and waited a while before the grilled whole fish arrived. It was worth it, though! The seasoning on the fish was so tasty and the buttery fish paired really well with the creamy hummus underneath. We also enjoyed the orange and fennel salad on the side. Even after devouring the fish we realized we could still eat so we decided to try two of their desserts, the rhubarb pavlova ($14) and the awamat ($13). Both desserts were amazing! It has been a while since I've been blown away by desserts. I loved the texture and flavor combinations in the rhubarb pavlova: the almond cream and crispy meringue would have been too sweet on their own, but their sweetness was balanced by the tart rhubarb pieces and peppercorn labneh. The awamat also had a fun balance between sweet (fried dough and ice cream) and sour (passion fruit caramel and mango creme patisserie). I can't wait until I have these desserts again, and I look forward to trying their other desserts as well. I was quite satisfied with my experience dining here for the first time. The dishes are great for sharing between two people.

    We had an amazing meal at this small but lively Middle Eastern Mediterranean spot. Literally every dish was a hit. The atmosphere felt warm and energetic, perfect for sharing family-style dishes. The hummus and baba ganouj were creamy and full of flavor, and the fluffy, warm pita bread kept disappearing as soon as it hit the table. The chicken Musakhan dish was juicy and perfectly spiced, and the branzino was tender, flaky, and seasoned just right. Moona is a cozy spot that delivers big on flavor.

    Order and name don't match. Mislabeled by restaurant

    Not great customer service. We ordered through Uber Eats and received someone else's DoorDash order. The receipt and food were for someone named Kohana, while the bag was labeled Elizabeth. This was a restaurant labeling error, not a driver issue. When we contacted them, they first offered to remake the order "for free," then paused without offering any next steps. When we asked how we would get the food, they said they don't have a delivery driver. They didn't suggest remaking it with a refund if we were willing to pick it up, nor did they follow up with a solution, even after we explained we have a newborn and can't leave the house. They then blamed Uber Eats, saying they'd make sure drivers don't grab the wrong bags in the future, despite the bag being mislabeled. They said they would process a refund, though it's unclear how that works when the order was placed through Uber Eats. We were also told we could eat whatever was delivered "if needed," which wasn't an acceptable solution. The tone was friendly, but there was no real accountability, ownership, or effort to make things right beyond the refund. Mistakes happen. This was handled poorly.

    Really great dinner at Moona! We got an assortment of small plates and everything was very good. Specifically recommend the feta fritters and the Muhammara. Service was very attentive.

    Very friendly and cute spot! If you like Oleana's, the type and style of food is very similar, with shareable plates. I enjoyed the mushroom hummus, which was incredibly made. Was able to get seated very easily on a Friday evening and the music and ambiance was very fun.

    Cannot say enough positive things about Moona. Everything we ordered was outstanding and the service was amazing. Highly recommend the feta fritters, lamb kafta, and parsnip skordalia. They kept refilling warm pita for all of the dishes which we really appreciated. The ambiance is perfect for a cozy meal.

    Eggplant Fatteh
    Sierra H.

    This is one of my favorite places in the Boston/Cambridge area! The food is delicious and the price point is very affordable compared to lots of other places nearby. We've been here multiple times and the service and food are always consistent. There's limited seating inside but it's normally not too hard to get a reservation the week of. What we ordered: - Eggplant Fatteh: This is a must try! The pairing of the eggplant with the yogurt/tahini sauce is addicting and the crispy pita chips on top are scrumptious. We get this every time we come. - Palestinian Msakhan Duck Rolls: The seasoning on the outside of these was so good, though we wish that the wrapper could be slightly thinner. - Chicken Tagine: This comes out steaming hot and every bite is a nice warm bite. Loved the sweet potatoes in this. - Grilled Whole Fish: Cooked to perfection. This is a must try for seafood lovers.

    So happy we squeezed into this charming spot for a last minute reservation late on a Friday night! I've spent lots of time in Inman square, but somehow missed out on Moona until now. The first thing you'll notice about this place is it's size - the restaurant is tiny with a handful of tables and a bar taking up about a quarter of the space. There's not much room to wait for your table, so during Winter in Boston when no one wants to stand outside, that means the entrance is pretty congested and everyone waiting is pushing up on the tables and the bar. As you can guess, with so little space and such a good reputation, a reservation is key. That's pretty much the only downside I can come up with for this place. Now let's get to the good stuff. At Moona, you'll come for the sharable Mediterranean small plates and stick around for the complex cocktails and cozy, Cambridge vibes. We kicked things off with the Painless Twist and Korkom and Carrot cocktails, which were both home runs - my husband has a soft spot for painkillers, and the Painless Twist is the more sophisticated, refined version of his dreams. I was also a big fan of the Sauvignon Blanc they offer by the glass. The menu has a handful of interesting entrees, but for our first visit, we opted for all small plates so we could sample as much as possible. I highly recommend the Tuna Tartare, Scallops with bbq duck, and Date Molasses Steak Tips. I also have to give a special shoutout to the Spanish Octopus--I get some guilt every time I order Octopus thanks to the Netflix doc, so if I'm going to eat it, it needs to be worth it, and Moona's take sure is. There are countless other items on the menu I wanted to try, so I'll be back before too long. Perfect spot for a date night or a small group din!

    Mushroom Farro
    Parita A.

    The ambiance was good, a little loud but good otherwise. Our server was really kind and attentive. I ordered the dips plate and the mushroom farro. The dips plate had a delicious baba ghanoush, tzatziki, hummus, olives, pickles and pickled beets. The baba ghanoush was delicious. The mushroom farro was hearty. The only downside was it wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped. It was just okay.

    This place was so awesome. Smaller and cozy, great service, and amazing food. everything is tapas style so you order 2-3 things per person. With a group of 3, we did 8 things and were very very full by the end. Very tasty cocktails, and unique food items that are satisfying for all in a group to share and taste. You could order multiple of anything and be satisfied, but the fun was trying all the different things. Best thing we tried was the salmon that was super fresh and a great cut and prepared perfectly. The scallops were also awesome with the bbq duck, we just wish there were more! Will definitely be coming back here again.

    Came here on a Friday night with a reservation and we were seated quite quickly. We got a table next to the door which was unfortunate given how cold it was outside, but unfortunately wasn't our choice as the place was packed. The menu had a good variety of foods and drinks - I appreciated how consolidated it all was on one page. We shared 6 dishes for the two of us and left quite full along with dessert - things came out pretty quickly as well which was nice, but not too fast at the same time so the pacing was good. Their drinks were nice as well - I would be willing to try more on their menu if I ever came back. The food was all really yummy - good portions, nice flavor, and just overall a good meal. A bit pricy, but I think for a nice night out, things were overall reasonable. Service was also pretty solid throughout the night, although it took a while for them to come around for the check. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and would be happy to come back in the future. I'd recommend a reservation if possible though given how busy things were and how bar seats were super sparse!

    I didn't get the chance to take pictures of my food, but I had a great experience at Moona! My only complaint was that I was seated by the door, so it was pretty cold, but that's not their fault. The service was top notch and my water glass was always full! In terms of food, we ordered the Brussels, Scallops, Shish Tawouk, and Date Molasses Steak Tips for mezza and the Chicken Tagine to share for the main. I really enjoyed each of the appetizers, especially the Date Molasses Steak Tips, which were cooked perfectly. I wasn't quite as impressed by the Chicken Tagine, but that might have more so been because I wasn't especially interested in the dish, not because it wasn't cooked nicely. I would come back again to try some more dishes!

I would recommend calling beforehand to ask about the wait. Although we commuted from Cambridge, this meal was worth it. For two people, we got: - Black Seed Cornbread: it's soft, sweet yet savory. I've never had cornbread like this, and the first bite into this was unforgettable. You must get this. - Honey Nut Hummus: this was honestly fine and I'd probably try a different dip next time. - Warm Gyro bread: well seasoned and great to share between two. I normally don't like gyro but I enjoyed this. - Lamb al pastor: this was a favorite. It was sweet and the lamb was tender. We were really impressed with the sauce. - Brussel sprout bravas: this was okay. I liked the crunchy nuts and the star of this dish was once again the sauce/seasoning rather than the brussel sprouts. With all of these dishes, we ordered enough for two, with a few bites leftover. If you have a smaller appetite, you could get away with ordering a plate less. Overall, I loved the dining experience here. Even though I'm not typically a small plates mediterranean person, I appreciated Sarma - from its beautiful interior space and open kitchen concept, to the liveliness of the restaurant on a random weekday night. Definitely come here if you're in the area (or even if you're not!)

The food was overly salty, and the portions were very small.... even for tapas style dining. The flavor profiles just weren't there. The only thing that I would say tasted good was the cornbread and lamb skewer (which was definitely overpriced still). The cornbread was impressive and the ingredients made for a unique flavor. Service was also underwhelming. While the staff did their job, there wasn't much warmth or attentiveness and we didn't feel welcomed. We left feeling pretty disappointed given the hype and effort it took to get a reservation.

SERVICE: The service here is thoughtful and polished. The staff made us feel welcomed, guided us through the menu, and handled the pacing of the meal perfectly. When it came time to celebrate my mother, they made it feel special without overdoing it, which I appreciated. It felt genuine. AMBIANCE: There is a calm, intimate energy here that makes it perfect for a celebration. It feels warm, slightly upscale, and very intentional. The kind of place where you can actually enjoy the people you are with, have real conversations, and settle into the experience without feeling rushed. FOOD: We tried a variety of dishes, and everything felt carefully crafted, but the standout for me was the Quail Kebob Lamb and Grape Leaf Tart. That dish was on another level. Melt-in-your-mouth tender, rich in flavor, and balanced in a way that makes you pause and really appreciate what you are eating. You can tell there is real attention to detail in the kitchen. For dessert, they made a special presentation for my mother, milk pudding, chocolate sorbet, and ice cream. It was the perfect ending to the meal, and honestly, seeing everyone at the table smiling made it hit even more. IMPRESSIONS: Oleana delivers more than just great food, it creates moments. Between the standout dishes, the thoughtful service, and the warm atmosphere, this was exactly the kind of place you want for a birthday celebration.
