The best new restaurant in Sharon. It's great to have diverse cuisine that doesn't fit into a box. Fried chicken, pork loin and octopus have been my early favorites for meat. Brussels are delicious and they're purple. So unique. The staff has been welcoming and service better than expected for a brand new restaurant. I'll continue to go back and watch the flavors and menu evolve. read more

A hidden gem in Sharon. Great service - we had a reservation, but we walked in and were instantly acknowledged. Service was very quick, server was very friendly. We went off other reviews and got the Brussels sprouts - very good. We also had a handful of other plates that were delicious. Will definitely be back. read more

Great meal at Simcha tonight! Fresh baked pita and hummus were delicious but the stars of the night were the half cauliflower head, radicchio in balsamic and calamari...Panna cotta was the perfect dessert...not too sweet. Highly recommend for inventive food to share amongst the table. A worth the drive destination. read more

What a great spot in the middle of Sharon. Forget going out into Boston or bigger towns for a great out of the ordinary meal and drink. Honestly this place has a hideout sort of vibe with great lighting and music. The food is well inspired and has great unique flavors and presentations. I can't wait to try it more now that they've added some bar specials during the week including very nicely priced apps and tacos made on fresh pita. Beer and wine are well stocked and rotate often. read more

Little gem found in a strip mall in Sharon. Service was A+. Our waiter guided us in the right direction without overselling the menu. Between the salads, small plates and a main course four of us were able to taste a bunch of different things and were pleased with everything. This is a typical city restaurant buried in the suburbs and we can't wait to tell friends about it. We will be back soon! read more

Any decent chef can make good food. But a great chef knows which foods compliment each other. Which foods bring out the best in each other. Which foods create a symphony (ok, perhaps a bit dramatic, but I stand by it). The wood fired Salmon with chili rice pudding and pickled green beans is the definition of this. Each part brings out the best in the whole. Salmon by itself is ok. But lets add a bit of heat from the chili rice pudding...now we are building something. A bit of panache and interest. But add pickled roasted green beans? Takes it to a whole new level. All three parts are greater than the whole and play off of each other. Hats off to you chef (or should I say maestro). You have made what can be a "healthy choice" with ingredients that can all go in a different direction depending upon what they are paired with into Beethoven's No. 9 'Choral' Symphony. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Fabulous food. We had the Yemenite Chicken which was crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside with wonderful flavorings! The hummus was exceptional and the fresh baked pita bread was the perfect accompaniment! Highly recommend!!! read more

Come during the week for specials that will enable you to try all the variety of apps!! Everything is delicious and homemade. The pita is incredible --hot out of the oven! Make a reservation place is small. read more

Came for Sunday brunch, it was excellent! Everything we tried was tasty. I'm a big fan of sharing small plates.

Food was absolutely delicious. I have been to this restaurant several times and it never disappoints me. The falafel and Brussel sprouts are my favorite. My husband ordered the stuffed eggplant which I ate half of and we shared the Yemenite fried chicken. No dessert as we were trying to be good. Second time out in a year and a half and it was amazin. read more

Simcha gave us the city vibes without having to travel far. The ambiance and service was great, the FOOD was DELICIOUS! read more

Simcha - Fried chicken - Middle Eastern Near Me - Sharon, Massachusetts

Had an amazing experience at Simcha last week, from the staff to the bread to the main course. Just a great experience. Great ambiance as well. read more

I could say I go to Simcha because I like to support local or support someone I went to high school with (both true), but mostly it's because it's the best food around! Every dish is unique and flavorful. The hummus & pita is a must. I especially loved the carrots, the beets, the Brussel sprouts, and the stuffed avocado. The mussels & octopus dish was incredible with a delicious smokey flavor. It's the kind of food I've only had in cities at restaurants where you have to book reservations weeks in advance, but Avi brought it to my little hometown, making it our go-to destination for when my girlfriends can sneak away from our busy lives for a little reunion over a glass of wine and delicious bites. read more

What an amazing place and delicious food. Each dish is so unique and so good. Really friendly staff and the owner is very nice. Love it! read more

This place is awesome, and the owner has done incredible things during the current situation. Notwithstanding that, the food really is excellent. We had a whole bunch of different things, and everything tasted great. read more

Really nice addition to Sharon, creative menu, very helpful staff, owner very friendly. Overall great experience

Service, ambiance, and food all get an A+. We had the brussel sprouts, carrots, chicken and pork belly. Delicious! I don't know our server's name, but she was fabulous. The vibe makes you feel like you're downtown. And seeing the woodstove cranking in the corner really adds to the feeling of this place. This would be a great place to come with a large group. The vibe really supports that kind of gathering, and so does the menu. Order a few large plates for the table to share and a few sides! This place is also a great spot for date night too though. Definitely check it out! read more

Great food, cool atmosphere, and friendly staff. My husband thought that the octopus was fantastic- tender and perfectly seasoned. We'll definitely be back. read more

This was my first trip to Simcha. It won't be my last! The chicken tacos with Israeli chopped salad was de-lish! Fresh baked pita and hummus was flavorful with great texture. Several yummy beers to choose from. Quick, polite service. Nice atmosphere. I totally forgot that we were in a strip mall. Can't wait to try "wing Wednesday". read more

Was familiar with the ownership from the Chubby Chickpea. His falafel was dope. Went there not long after it opened and have visited several times. I've sat in the dining room side and at the bar. I've been with just my SO and with large groups. I've been with kids. Is it small? Yes. Will you possibly have to wait? Perhaps. Is it worth it? Definitely. City quality in the suburbs. Finally. It's one of the few restaurants I go to...order whatever I want that appeals to me and realize as I'm paying the bill, I ate little or no proteins. So many delicious vegetables! I do not say that often. Now...don't get me wrong. It's hardly a vegetarian restaurant. there are great wings. (Had em). There is a a short rib that's outstanding. The star of the show though.....his hummus and fresh baked (warm) pita. Start with that. Every time. You will be licking the bowl. If I'm lying I'm dying. So damn good. He has bumped the beer and wine program up considerably since opening so you can get several local kick ass IPA's there and a delicious Rose as well. We don't get food like this in the burbs often. So good. I wish them the best of luck. I also heard he's opening a BBQ joint next door. I hope so!! read more

Absolutely amazing. Went for brunch on a Sunday and highly recommend sharing all the small plates. Moroccan carrots were so unique and delicious and fried Brussels sprouts were some of the best I've ever had. Hummus was also just so fresh and creamy with wonderful flavor. Go with friends to share all the plates, everything was flavorful, hot and delicious. This is a hidden gem in every sense of the word, can't wait to go back again! read more

I have been to Simcha twice and have had a fabulous experience both times! The food is always creative and incredible. There is always something different on the menu and in the bar. The waitstaff was wonderful. My friend has a severe gluten allergy. There were so many great options for her and they made a special effort to not cross contaminate anything we had. I would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

This was a great meal - early Saturday, my wife and I went over to visit - I've known Avi (owner) from Chubby Chickpea days. Place is small and quiet, we were there with a three-generation family of seven at the next table, and two two-tops Started with hummus and beets - both were excellent. Hummus is smooth and seasame-y, huge plus. Beets were cooked perfectly and had a hint of sweetness that did not disappoint. We both had fried chicken, primarily because it's GLUTEN FREE FRIED CHICKEN! Made with chickpea flour, and fried it it's own fryer, this was nearly perfect. Crunchy and not overly gloppy, the coating was excellent. One portion was just right, another a little oily, but I'm sure that was because one rested longer than the other. In any case - it was excellent! Nearly everything on the menu (save the pita and donuts for dessert) is GF, and really really tasty. Can't wait to go back and have more of the starters and larger plates - everything we had was great. read more

Friend Brussels sprouts were delish! Warm and fresh pita was excellent. Ambiance was great and staff very friendly!

We reserved a able for four tonight at 7 pm. I thought menu was limited we will try it not expecting anything, but was I wrong. From the beginning with the delicious wines to the pita bread, homemade I might add, the hummus, there was nota drop left, to the fried feta, and the cauliflower which was served complimentary, to the chicken dish which we had two order for four and then the lemon cake, a big wow! Don't miss it every bite was better then the next, service and warmth and caring tremendous. A New York quality restaurant is a hidden gem, Congratulations and thank you Ari for bringing a piece of heaven to Sharon. Don't miss it! read more

Delicious new spot in Sharon for a cozy and chic new date night option, plus has a killer Sunday brunch! Loved the bar vibe and will definitely head there even solo when I need a quick escape to culinary bliss with a glass of wine. Everything was super fresh and local with a creative twist on new plus some classic favorites like fried chicken, pork belly, and lamb. A definite must is the brunch - best shashuka around - hands down. And the most satisfying chicken and waffles dish that is perfect combo of sweet/savory heaven. Awesome perk is that Avi keeps things innovative and will be changing up the menu based on what's fresh and local - plus what he likely dreamed of the night before - keep the delicious food coming and I'll be there! read more

This place is absolutely amazing and such a great addition to Sharon. The food is unreal and the service absolutely excellent in every way. The fried chicken is to die for. Excited to get back for the brunch soon. Keep up the good work Simcha crew! read more

I went to Simcha with my wife and some friends, and we all agreed that the food, ambience, and service was excellent! I had the Moroccan carrots, sweet potato hummus, and cauliflower. It was all amazing and perfectly spiced. We can't wait to go back! I would highly recommend anyone in the area check it out. read more

Hands down the meal of the year! I was completely blown away with all the food I ate! I'll be back in the near future!

I'm blown away. Unbelievable food. Live music was pretty cool. Chef did a great job. The warm pitas were like my memory foam pillows at home. I wish I could sleep on a warm mattress of pita every night. Service was excellent led by a young man named Chris. read more

Came here after a sporting event. Ordered the marinated eggplant, chickpea poutine, falafel and hummus. All were excellent, particularly the eggplant, the poutine and the falafel. Only reason I'm not giving the place five stars is because they were out of 2 dishes that I wanted, the lamb and the snow pea salad. Will definitely be back. Its worth a 20 minute drive to dine at. read more

I have eaten at Simcha 4 times now, and it's been barely been open for a month! Avi has been so generous to hold private tasting events for local organizations before the restaurant was even open to test out different menu items and to make sure his staff was ready for opening night. My husband and I went for dinner for my birthday and it was a amazing. We had the octopus which was served with a spicy green sauce and mandarin oranges, we loved it all! We had the chicken liver mousse that was served with bread and these amazing pickled vegetables. For dinner we had the chicken, which my husband couldn't get enough of. We also shared a filet, which was cooked perfectly and very tender. I went the next day to try the brunch with friends. We had the shakshuka with Bulgarian feta which was so flavorful that we all wanted to lick the bowl! We also had the bumble bean hummus which was amazing and served with homemade pita. I can't wait to see what comes next!! read more

Simcha - Middle Eastern Near Me - Sharon, Massachusetts

This is a tiny restaurant with about 10 tables depending on the configuration. We had a reservation for 7:15 and were not seated until 8:10 because a party of 4 who had finished eating and paid their bill sat and tied up the table for over 45 minutes. The restaurant tried to be accommodating and brought us their delicious hummus to stave off our hunger while we waited. If you go there, please be cognizant of others who might be waiting and move to the bar to finish your conversation so that others can have their dining experience. read more

Outstanding new restaurant. Mezzes, small plates, large plates, and dessert were all terrific. Turkish Eggplant salad, Dogfish chraime, and Yemenite fried chicken were the highlights. Oh, and also the challah donuts. Highly recommend. Go there now. read more

I almost don't want to write this because I can see lines forming out the door and then we will never get a table. The food is outstanding. My husband and I ate here last night and had the best hummus ever, the carrot dish, short rib poutine, meatballs, Brussel sprouts and the calamari. OK we over ordered and had lots to take home but the food was seasoned perfectly and absolutely delicious. If this restaurant was in any other location, it would be hard to get a table and is so worth the trip. The server knew the menu inside and out, was so friendly and lovely. We can't say enough about this new restaurant. This is a hidden gem in Sharon. read more

Delicious food and attentive service in an unsuspecting location. We had the hummus with fresh pita, fried Brussels sprouts (just say yes), chickpea poutine and the couscous arancini. Everything was well seasoned, flavorful and delightful. For dessert we had baklava and Kanafeh. We will definitely be back! You should definitely go check it out! read more

Great cocktails, food, and atmosphere. It's a great place for a change of food. Nothing else really around that I is similar. We ordered a bunch of small plates and split them. Will definitely be back! read more

Chef Avi Shemtov outdid himself preparing a delicious entree for our Hadassah Sharon-Stoughton fundraiser on Saturday night. The dish is called CHRAIME, a flaky haddock poached in a mild garlic and tomato sauce, served with wood oven roasted green beans with lemon juice and sesame seeds and jeweled Basmati rice with chopped onions, shredded carrot and black sesame seeds. If you are looking for a delicious new taste experience for your event, I highly recommend Chef Avi Shemtov!!! read more

So excited about this place! Yes, the tables are small and the entree does not come with a side - BUT the made-from-scratch-baked-in-the-wood-burning-oven pitas are amazing, the food is creative and delicious, and the service is fabulous! Oh, and please order the pudding for dessert (ok to split) - it is very yummy! read more

Just ate lunch here. Been wanting to try it since I first read about it opening on Eater. Amazing Israeli food. We had the hummus, Brussels sprouts, chicken livers and octopus. Each one more delicious than the last. Fresh homemade piping hot pita tops it off. Charming family atmosphere with excellent service. Now wishing I lived in Sharon. We would be regulars for sure. read more
