My family and I walked in aroud 5:15 on a Sunday night and walked in for dinner service at the bar. Although we didn't get drinks, we did feast on several items. Pomelo salad was light and unique for Boston Thai food, the crab fried rice was filled with plump and fresh crab meat, the beef panang had a deep flavor with tender meat, and the crab curry was so fun to dip the rice noodles into. For 3 people, these dishes were considered 3 "big" tapas and 1 "small" tapa and were enough to fill us up. Although I did have my eye on the branzino for the longest time...which I will come back for Would love to try their sister restaurant, Merai, which is just next door and currently hosts one of my favorite Boston-based pop-ups, Newbery Street which does Thai-style coffee/matcha and salt bread.

Lemon Chicken Pie (10/10): This was their special pie of the day. I'm sure their other pies are…read moredelicious as well. The chicken was amazingly tender. The tartness of the lemon was balanced perfectly with the savory elements of the dish. The homemade phyllo dough is to die for. Baked to a perfect crisp, and full of bready aromas. Tsoureki (9/10): This sweet bread was also amazing. The whipped cream was delicious and tasted homemade. The maple yogurt was also delicious, adding just the right amount of acidity to cut through the sweetness of the dish. Breakfast Hilopites (7/10): Very unique dish. Our waitress described it as a "breakfast carbonara." The sausage was the best part of this dish. The pasta was tasty as well. Saganaki (3.5/10): The fried cheese is way too greasy. It comes in the pan, so there's a pool of grease still at the bottom. We had this dish last, and it felt like a bad way to finish the meal. The cheese itself was delicious (the nuts too), but the dish still lacked something to cut through the grease. Loukanikopita (8/10): The sausage was really good. All their phyllo dishes are awesome. The yogurt was good as well. Hortopita (7.5/10): Also a great phyllo dish. Yogurt was great. Loved the addition of dill. Souvla & Eggs (8/10): Lamb was very tender. Cooked and seasoned well. I think it was a tad too salty, though. The salad was light and refreshing, with a nice touch of acidity. Strapatsada (7/10): Solid dish. Not a must-order, but I did enjoy all the flavors and textures melding together. The sourdough was solid. We also had the Vlacha Cola, which was crisp and refreshing. Service is very friendly. I would definitely come back. I would say it's better than their sister restaurant, Krasi.

Bar Vlaha had some really good parts and a few misses for me. The potatoes had no flavor, so that…read morewas the weakest dish of what I tried. The beef cheek, on the other hand, had a mild but good taste, and the meat was very, very tender. The 6-dip spread was a fun experience and probably one of the more memorable things to order if you are with other people. The feta was definitely the best dip by far, while the others were okay. One thing to keep in mind is that you have to order bread separately, which is worth knowing before you commit to the dips. Overall, I still enjoyed the meal, but it felt a little mixed. There are some dishes I would gladly get again, and others I would skip.

Appetizers were pretty good, the risotto was rich and creamy and the French onion soup was great. My friend got the the roasted duck breast that was asked as medium and came out rare. And the beef shoulder was a little overwhelming with the red wine sauce. After, we were serviced dessert menus even though I told them we had a cake. They served us the cake and were not given any utensils. We were then told that there was a $20 cake fee for the restaurant. I asked why I wasn't told this when I dropped off or even before serving the cake and the hostess ignored me and didn't say anything. After spending +$300 for an average meal and told there was a cake fee AFTER the cake was served-- I am very disappointed. We wanted to try and go to somewhere local and support local businesses, but save your money and go elsewhere. There are plenty of other wonderful restaurants in the area!

Literally my only issue is that the cakes and frappes are too sweet. They are also generally very good at accommodating allergies, as they have full ingredient lists for almost their entire menu (every menu item can be made milk and egg free), including cross-contamination notes. They also have many customers with allergies due to their vegan-friendly nature, so are very willing to answer questions.

It is a small, lovely place with friendly staff and quick service. The menu has so many good options it was hard to choose. The vegan calamari appetizer and tamarind mocktail caught my eye and I knew we had to have them. Both were fantastic. And the calamari was GF! Yay! We moved on to an orange asparagus salad and the pistachio crusted tofu on corn cakes. The salad was good, the tofu and corn cakes were amazing. They had vegan GF carrot cake, which you almost never find. I love carrot cake so we got a slice to go. I wish there was one of these near us. Great experience and great food. Carrot cake was on point! Perfectly moist and flavorful. We enjoyed it immensely.

There wasnt a ton of the vegan ricotta or soy mozzarella in it which is good because those usually bring a lot of salt. This lasagne was perfectly balanced. The portion size was huge too. The sesame crusted seitan strips were also very good. The service was not the best. Took forever to get water and menus and then seemed to take an additional forever for them to take our order. We were there for a full 90 minutes and the restaurant was not busy. Also, the water, juices and soft drinks did not have ice. One of our party stated it may have been because they are Ayurvedic... and we never asked so not sure the real story.

I'm so glad Uyghur cuisine has made its way to Boston…read more I was first introduced to it years ago at Silk Road in Cambridge, and I've been hoping more Uyghur restaurants would open ever since. Jahunger truly delivers. The restaurant immediately sets the mood. Candlelight, the scent of incense, traditional instruments on the walls, and pothos plants growing from mounted glass jars all make the space feel warm and inviting. One warning: unless you arrive around 6 p.m. or earlier, expect a wait. (It's popular.) Oh, and the food is worth it. The leek and egg dumplings tasted homemade in the best way: slightly rustic, fresh, and delicious. The hand-pulled noodles are the stars. Every noodle dish we ordered had the perfect chewy texture. My favorite was the Laghman noodles, though the Jahunger noodles were a close second with their rich spices and satisfying heat. The mee fen and stir-fried green beans both packed a respectable kick and leaned a little salty, but not enough to keep me from happily polishing them off. Don't forget the tea! It's beautiful to look at, filled with all sorts of ingredients (Chinese jujubes!), and only lightly sweet, which I appreciated. Then came the showstopping honey cake. The cake itself was fluffy, while the filling had a firmer, almost sticky texture with deep caramelized flavors that reminded me of burnt caramel in the best possible way. Paired with what tasted like coffee ice cream, it was the perfect ending to the meal. Jahunger is one of those restaurants that makes you want to come back before you've even paid the bill. I'm so glad Jahunger made it to Cambridge; the Boston food scene is richer because it's here.

My family really wanted to check out this new place nearby. I was not familiar with Uyghur food so…read moreI decided to join along. We came in and the restaurant was filled with younger people who were hanging out. To start off we ordered lamb dumplings and scallion pancakes. I was familiar with both of these appetizers and they were the same as anywhere else. To eat, we ordered chicken stew. The waitress told us that one stew was spicy and the other was non spicy. We decided to order the non-spicy one since others were not big fans of spice. When we received the food it was very spicy. It was hard to eat and we did not enjoy it. The waitress came back and thought we wanted the spicy chicken stew which was incorrect. She apologized and wanted to switch it. At this point we were running late so it didn't matter. We just packed it and gave it to our family member who likes spice. This place was okay. I will have to come back here and give it another chance.
