Mixed feelings about Nubian Markets. The staff of the grocery store is as friendly as grocery store staff. However, for the dining service the staff at the counter was on his phone the entire time and totally inattentive. It wasn't clear when he was talking to us or on the phone and wouldn't pause his call to take our order. Just would take our order in between him speaking on the phone. The food itself was also mixed. The jerk chicken was really good with an okay kick to it. The fried okra was very tasty and crispy. The hatian hot chicken though was very disappointing. It was a poorly constructed fried chicken sandwich without anything unique about it. The chicken itself was okay but the sandwich definitely is not worth the $14. You can get much better fried chicken sandwiches in many other places. And overall the atmosphere wasn't great. Wasnt bad but sort felt like a high school cafeteria. If I try it again, I would go for takeout. read more

I was told about the jerk salmon and it was amazing ! Some of the food was served cold but I could still taste all the good flavors and it was cooked perfectly. The girl who took my order was really nice and wanted me to get the best service. Energy in the place was really good and the grocery store was really clean and served great food options. Will definitely be back! Great spot in Dudley. read more

The food is so fresh and unique. Not something you can find everywhere. The place is also very clean and welcoming. read more

I'm not sure why our experience was the opposite of the ones that others have described. The three stars are solely for the service and the grocery store. I believe we met the manager who was very nice to speak to. The grocery store had an eclectic mix of items and we had fun browsing and buying grocery items we had not tried before. However, our main reason for the visit, the food, was a big let down. The meat in the Peri Peri chicken sandwich was dry, chewy, and bland which was so surprising given the depth of Peri Peri spice. We also added on a Jamaican jerk chicken calzone to the order. As you can see in one of the photos, it consisted of some cheese, a few pieces of red, yellow peppers, and finally bland white cubed chicken. What it was missing was the Jamaican jerk spice. And the cover was an overly thick whole wheat roti. How terribly disappointing. The descriptions of the food and the concept are great. I hope that they will take this feedback and try to make it as flavorful as it sounds. read more

The food is great, and the atmosphere is even better. It provides a nice intimate space for dining, while at the same time providing the excitement and location who are looking to be in an area a little more lively. read more

We ordered a butcher burger, crispy chicken hopping John and a jerk chicken. The food was amazing. Very fresh. There is ample seating. The wait period is long and the service is present. I mean the guy behind the counter is there. He is not rude, not friendly nor unfriendly. He is performing his function of taking an order and collecting money, no more, no less. Just an observation lol I would come back read more

Nubian Markets - Butcher's Burger - Grocery Near Me - Roxbury, Massachusetts

I tried Nubian Markets after hearing about its recent opening last week. The space is wonderful with a grocery store, restaurant, a butchery, and plenty of seating inside and outside the store. The staff was extremely friendly and I ordered over the phone about 25 minutes before and my order was ready when I arrived. I was in a rush so I couldn't dine in or try too much, so I just got the burger. It was delicious, the mix of flavors was truly unique and made for a special experience. It's wrapped in a house made pita that is equally tasty! I will not be shocked when this burger is rated one of the best in Boston AND a staple of the halal Boston experience. It is a must try! I will be back for the rest of the menu soon! This might just be the best halal restaurant Boston has to offer. To be determined after trying the rest of the menu! read more

Very clean! Very well lit. Service is slow, but it's early, so i get it. I went around dinner time and they were only service sandwiches and salads, no bowls. The grab and go section was great. The food is some of the most flavorful food I've ever had. Even my picky toddler enjoyed it. Great price and good food amount. My husband said he could eat 2 off the sandwiches. The bread for the sandwiches is made fresh. Part of the reason i had to wait so long is they were waiting for the bread to bake. Overall great experience. Giving it 4 stars because the wait was too long. read more

Delicious food - we tried the peri peri chicken sandwich and the butcher burger. Both very good, I enjoyed the chicken better but my husband was a bigger fan of the burger! Both sandwiches have delicious seasoning and tasty sauce. The bread is thin and crispy- the perfect touch. Would definitely come back again! The service was quick and the employees were helpful when I asked what we should order! read more

Wait. This place is AMAZING!!! No matter where you are coming from, Nubian Markets is worth the trip!!! I work for a small nonprofit and we needed a meeting space and catering for an all day retreat, and I discovered Nubian Markets during a Google rabbit hole. They have a beautiful, bright, airy space that fits 20 comfortably/cozy, with strong wifi and powerful AC (necessary when the walls are sunlit glass!). Every single person we spoke with was so kind, helpful, and accommodating. We had coffee and delicious pastries, yogurt, and granola for breakfast, and when I say that the lunch was the best catered food I've ever had, I'm not exaggerating. So good and flavorful, items for adventurous and less adventurous eaters, and they graciously and easily accommodated different dietary needs. All in all, can't recommend this place more highly!!! read more

Great food good coffee Wonderful staff and friendly. And a grocery. Good location.

We ordered the crispy chicken and the burger and fries. This may just be the most joyful burger experience I have ever had. Truly a delicious and creative take on a burger. Even the bread was exquisite. The fries were lightly seasoned, had a crunch on the outside and were nice and soft on the inside. They came with an aioli sauce that matched perfectly. It's great to have this wonderful market and cafe in a neighborhood that is lacking in quality food and market options. read more

Nubian Cafe catered an event for us and it couldn't have gone smoother! The food and drinks were hot, delicious, and delivered perfectly on time without a glitch. We love having lunch at Nubian, and we found the much larger catering portions were the same excellent quality. Our guests, who came from different cultures and dietary needs were all very well fed. read more

We love Nubian market! We were so excited for it to open, and are frequent customers. The space and the employees are welcoming, the store is well-stocked, and the cafe items are consistently DELICIOUS. It's so nice to have this store and cafe in the neighborhood! A few suggestions, but they certainly don't detract from my rating: It would be wonderful if they sold bread, but fresh injeera can sometimes be a substitute! Organic dairy products are inconsistently available. read more

We visited Nubian Markets after hearing rave reviews from a friend and meeting the owner at another one of his well-liked businesses. Definitely a high-end vibe and nice concept with fresh groceries, made to order food and an additional community gathering space. As the name suggests the store also features products for the African diaspora and anyone else interested in cultural enrichment. It was, however, surprisingly wonderful to discover a highly popular chai associated snack --Zeera cookies--in the aisles. Even though I didn't recognize the brand, I had to buy them and they were pretty good. Deeply appreciate your contribution to the community Nubian Markets, best of luck for your continued success. read more

I come to Nubian Markets often because the place is nice and the food is phenomenal. It's been getting hard to enjoy purchasing food anymore because the main server who is usually at the desk checking out is so incredibly disrespectful and rude that it is so enjoyable to be in the space. It's just too bad because it's such a great spot for the community but unfortunately it's not a pleasant experience. read more

Wow! The space was well-curated, inviting and kept exceptionally well-organized and clean. I asked for a Nubian latte with almond milk and it was amazing! I've had my fair share of non-dairy latte disappointments in life, so I was surprised. The prices were quite fair. The bakery items were expertly made, fresh and delicious. I haven't tried the rest of the food yet but look forward to it! The grocery store is thoughtfully stocked with a variety of international cheeses and breads. They also sell We Buy Black household and personal care items. read more

I will be back for sure. read more

This place was so good I went twice in the same day. First for the burger, then for the chicken sandwich and some ice cream. It's clean, all the food was very fresh with lots of flavor read more

Wonderful store. I love the variety of food and beverages they have. Of course you will likely find things a little cheaper in the larger grocery stores, but I do not mind paying a little extra to support this business - plus it is much easier to shop here - not an abundance of aisles - nice ambiance. They award points for frequent shoppers. The service is very good. I love the hot food. Unfortunately, there are no substitutions to the menu. They still get 5 stars - the pluses greatly outweigh the small minuses. read more
