We ordered classic Israeli dishes, and everything tasted authentic and well prepared. Service was quick, and the staff was efficient. The place isn't fancy, but it's clean and does exactly what it's supposed to do -- good kosher food without a long wait. Prices are reasonable for the area. Overall, a solid and reliable option if you're looking for kosher food in Brookline.

But it moves quickly, with the staff frequently shaving off shawarma from the slow-turning spits behind the counter. I opted to make my own veggie plate with falafel, hummus, and plenty of Greek salad. I typically judge Mediterranean eateries by how dry (or hopefully, not) their falafel is--the verdict here is that it's okay for the price point.

To me, whenever I think about Boston, all I know is its strong seafood presence. However being in…read morethe suburbs of Boston, it gave me the opportunity to try other cuisines, and I was excited to see this authentic Turkish restaurant not far from my hotel. Ironically, I found this place when I was looking up ice cream. They serve authentic Turkish ice cream, and it's been something I've been wanting to try. In addition to the ice cream, I ordered Manti (Turkish dumplings) and Uludag soda (which they say is a Turkish ginger ale). I loooooooooved the Manti. While the dumplings were filled with meat, the dish overall felt light since each dumpling is like the size of a quarter. The dumplings had a nice chew, and the sauces made the dish rich yet creamy. The Uludag soda was definitely much lighter than a ginger ale. Tasted like a light citrusy drink, and it's less sweet than American sodas. The ice cream had a nice pull and chew, although it didn't look as stretchy as Turkish ice creams I've seen. Nice amount of pistachio flavor throughout. I came on a weekday lunch, so there was ample seating inside. Ordering is done via a QR code on your table or on a tablet stand in the middle of the restaurant. Service was quick and friendly, making it a great experience overall.

A gem of a place that serves authentic Turkish dishes! Dolma was spacious and it felt so inviting…read more The staff were very welcoming and they answered all of my questions. My friend and I ordered three dishes that were absolutely filling and flavorful. The standout favorite was the moussaka which was beef, eggplant, and tomato sauce. It came with soft and pillowy pita bread that soaked up all of the goodness. Another highlight was the Manti which are Turkish dumplings. The Manti were bite sized dumplings topped with a garlicky yogurt sauce. It was comfort in a bowl! My friend and I were completely satisfied by our experience with the variety of food that Dolma had to offer. There was street parking outside. Dolma had plenty of indoor seating and they offer outdoor seating (unheated).

It was sliced off the rotisserie spit, but it had clearly been turned off and had to be reheated. Also, the veggies and pickles were great, but the tahini sauce was a bit overpowering. I'll try this place again during the day when the meat is freshly cooked, perhaps.

No rice with falafels and platters. It just felt incomplete. 2. I am not sure but they seem to be outsourcing everything or most as ready made. 3.

Anyone local already knows this Brighton spot hits! I've been getting food from here for years and…read moreit's consistently great. Friendly, efficient service- definitely seems like a family business. It's classic Greek fare (not a pizza joint) featuring rotisserie meats and fresh grill items with an array of hot/cold Mediterranean apps & sides. Recently the small dining room was made over a bit and now is a charming casual sit-down spot for lunch and Dinner... but I think most of the business is takeout. You cannot go wrong with the Greek salad with the amazing creamy tangy herby Greek dressing with any protein on there. The kebabs, grill items like chicken/salmon/lamb are infused with fresh grilled flavor. The veggie dishes and spreads are delicious, the Tzatziki & Hummus are fresh and both light yet rich. The avogolemono soup is very nice (perfect for hangover or if you have a cold) and I love the stuffed grape leaves & spanikopita. All the standard hot sides are great- try the sweet butternut squash purée, tomato-y green beans, and corn or rice pilaf. I always top off the order with a Mythos (bottled Greek beer), tastes great and I like the fun red pull tab. Parking is very tight so be prepared to park on street. Check it out!

That's already a steep price for a salad. I ordered a greek salad with chicken souvlaki. I didn't know kebab and souvlaki were that much different... so ok.... now my salad is $24. Oh. 25% more money.. I guess it's because they're about to put a massive amount of chicken on it because that must be the portion of souvlaki to justify the price? Nope. 5 tiny chunks of grilled chicken... about 1/3 of the kebab chicken it seems. Wow. I asked for some extra feta on my $24 salad. That's $2 more. I'm now having a $26 salad. I've noticed this in the past as well. They will find any way possible to upcharge you. I skipped a drink anticipating maybe a cup was $6 and the ice another $3. Lids for $2. Straw a bargain at $1.50. I will say this. At least for $26 I got a hefty amount of veggies. Not $26 worth but by comparison, when I order or do take out the containers are tiny. I swear it's a 1/3 of the size you get in the restaurant. I would be paying $26 for 1/3 of what I got. I like the quality of the food here but they're charging sit down prices for a counter service place. The staff seems really indifferent to just charging you whatever. You want extra tzatziki with your gyro? They sell $10 tubs. Don't dare ask for a side portion. You're in for that $10 tub. Now your $18 gyro is $28 but at least you got a container of tzatziki, more than you need for the gyro. I love the food but I feel like I need to negotiate every item I order and ask the price. Any deviation and you're looking at a 30% increase. You want those fries well done? That will be another $6. I'm no longer tipping at this place. For $26 salads, the staff better have Healthcare and be making 4 times the minimum wage.

Here in Boston for a family reunion! This lovely restaurant…read morewas a short walking distance from our rental townhouse. Bahar our server was super helpful, attentive and kind. We enjoyed sitting outside on the patio where the steady cool breeze refreshed us. The small appetizer plate with falafel and hummus was my favorite part of the meal. The falafel were flat and oblong, crispy and flavorful. I appreciated the texture of the hummus and babaghanoush (hearty and chunky, rather than smooth). The lamb adana and chicken Adana were delicious as well, complemented with pickled purple cabbage, red and white rice, and roasted green chili pepper (caution--spicy even if you remove the seeds!). Generous portions! We shared three entrees among 4 of us, along with two small appetizers and had two take home containers!

Love love love this place…read more First night in Brookline and walking to Whole Foods for supplies, we saw two big families leaving here looking happy and sated and rubbing their tummies; so after our shopping we came for dinner right at dusk, and immediately sat outside. Our server Bahar was so kind and helpful: I have a dairy allergy and really wanted to try the Ali Nazik, but the lamb marinade has dairy, we we got the Sultan's Delight (same smoky eggplant puree with baked lamb). We also ordered Chicken Adana, and the small appetizer with falafel and hummous; all to share for 3 of us. Our fourth got the Iskender Kabob for himself. Bahar first brought a bean salad (so fresh and light) and bread (yum). Then the appetizer: the falafel was flat (not spherical) which meant the surface area of crunchiness increased--so delicious; and the hummous was much grainier than I've had, which gave it such a lovely texture. Bahar came out with the Sultan's Delight, and rushed back apologetic that the chef used dairy today, so we ordered a second appetizer with babaganoush and falafel (we really needed more falafel once we got a taste)--the babaganoush was, like the hummous, grainier in texture than we were used to and so pleasing to eat. If it weren't for my dairy allergy, we might never had ordered the chicken adana kebab, which was so flavorful and lovely: the orange rice was so nutty and made my mouth happy. We realized that we wanted to try the Lamb Adana Kebab, which had such a phenomenal flavor palate with a nice spicy kick. The peppers that came with the entrees were like sneaky super hot shishito peppers in flavor. Bahar took such lovely care of us, we had an amazing meal.

It was a lot of food. I ate half and brought the rest home. My husband got the chicken kebab plate and my son got the Shawarma cheese and fries. We all really enjoyed our meals and are already trying to figure out when we can go back because it's not near where we live. The staff were all very friendly. The restaurant was small with only a few tables, but we were lucky enough to get a table. It looks like most people probably get take out. I definitely recommend trying this place.
