What a surprising gem - the food here is superb. High-quality food that tastes home-cooked! I got the chicken kabob plate with delicious hummus and a side of lentil soup. Very hearty meal. Staff is really friendly! Menu can be overwhelming, but I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the plates. Highly recommend! More

I had South End Pita saved on a for lunch in Boston and it did not disappoint! The massive chicken shawarma "roll" was made fresh and served at your table. It was absolutely delicious - rolls up a stuffed pita then pressed it 😋 Rice and beans were also yum 🤤 If you go to Boston, eat here. Great food and friendly service. … More

I ordered delivery! I received in timely manner and with care. My only complaint would be the size of the complimentary Baklava, the size was not worth the price even though there were 2 pieces which didn’t even make a complete normal sized piece. More

Was recently in the area and just looking for something quick, tasty, and filling!
This hit all the right check marks. Grilled meats will always have my heart so I went with the Deluxe Kabab Plate which included a really nice portion of rice, salad and 2 of each chicken, lamb, and kafta. I went with spicy option so spicy sauce was layered on top.
There is some seating available and they seem to also do quite a bit of takeout and delivery. It’s fairly roomy feeling in there since the tables are all along the windows. No frills spot with solid food.
In terms of pricing I thought it matched the amount of food and flavor for what I got so not mad at all.
Upon leaving staff notated next time to order ahead for less wait and then gave me a card for $10 off my first online order. Will definitely be doing that for next time!

It was as if we were transported to the Mediterranean, feasting on the best spinach pie, tabouli, lentil soup, grape leaves, pita and hummus that we have eaten in Boston, or anywhere in the country for that matter. Pradeepthi and Diego are wonderful hosts going above and beyond to please and serve their customers. More
