Top Middle Eastern restaurants in Somerville, United States

Good food ruined by terrible packaging.

The packaging it used to come in had separate compartments. Now they just throw a Shawarma plate into this a glorified Chinese food box and it’s just makes the food into a messy presentation. I don’t want the salad buried underneath the rice. Maybe this is petty for some, but the packaging totally ruins it for me.

Great portion size. Chicken shawarma and chicken kebab plates were tasty (ask for a side of garlic sauce). The sweets are amazing, best basboosa I've ever had! Friendly service.

The lamb was un-chewable. It was RUBBER. I would suggest skipping lamb all together. The chicken kebab roll was good. Sauces were great!

Best chicken shawarma we've ever had and the man running the place was so kind! I'm desperate to go back before we fly home to grab some baklava which looked incredible

Delicious, healthy portions, friendly staff, easy access. My mouth waters at the thought of this establishments food. Tried it first time a couple months ago, have eaten there three times, and going back after I type this, as they close at 0300!!! Parking on Main Street, as Broadway has a bus stop and bus lane.

I ordered lamb Shawarma plate, it was a terrible. The meat, the rice and even the salad were all terrible. I think they spill half a glass of oil into the salad. Rice was mushy. Tried it and couldn't have the second bite. Order from this place if you want to waste your money.

The food is delicious!! The staff is always friendly. I definitely recommend this place if you enjoy Mediterranean as I do.

The falafel was delicious! I tried the wrap, it was a little thin, because they really stuff it full, so next time I'll try the pita, but still tasted great! And I'd ask for a little extra sauce, but that's just my personal preference. Can't wait to try something new next time!

This is a great place to get take out wraps. Its becoming a go to spot, the size is pretty big as well and price is not expensive. Noor special with meat and fries inside with tahine and garlic very very good!

As an Arab American who often goes back home to the Middle East, I can guarantee that this place is the real deal. Everything about it is authentic. The food is delicious and tastes like home but has its own unique flavor. Whatever you get, make sure you get it spicy because their spicy tahini is what makes the sandwich/plate (still delicious not spicy as well). The owner is friendly and hilarious and is usually playing great music to keep you entertained while you wait. The place just feels like the kind of shop I would go to back home. If you don’t feel like waiting at the store for take out, their delivery is very quick and I’ve never had a problem with that either. Do yourself a favor and TRY THIS PLACE OUT!!

Not sure why it’s happening all the time, u guys have a great shawarma but a poor service, everytime I order something u bring me something else or missing reading the special instruction, I thought I will give it one more chance but still u need to manage these orders, I’m not going to order again till u fix ur mess

One of the best biryanis in the Boston area!! Get the goat biryani.

Best Indian Brunch Buffet yet! Local, inexpensive, fresh, hot and delicious.

Horrible quality of food. Most Dishes are filled with tomato paste that non- southeast Asians love! Any Indian would realize the absolute lack of effort put forth in their cooking. Anybody could make a better chicken tikka masala

Can't sit anywhere inside BUT the staff are very polite with manners and there is an amazing pahk across the street

I had a take out, I would highly recommend separating out the sauces in packaging as the plate order was all mixed up. Also the pita bread was not packed separately so it ended up being soggy. Apart from the packaging issues, the food was good.

Ordered food for delivery from Grubbull. Enjoyed the choice of thalis, veg and non veg and it was perfect to get a sample of multiple dishes including a side, your choice of bread and rice. Really enjoyed the paneer sagg and butter channa masala. Big flavor piece of chapati paired well with the curry. Loved gulab jamun as an option for dessert.

The food is always full of flavor and very fresh! Highly recommended.

Hands down the best Indian food I've had in ages. Most Indian restaurants in Boston leave me disappointed because they are overpriced and all the same. I love that they have Thalis (Veg and Non Veg) for dinner. Flavorful, varied and warm friendly staff. We will be back.

The food is delicious, and the staff is super courteous and friendly! The restaurant isn't huge, but the interior is very nice and cozy (there are pillows galore!)

All the chefs seem very dedicated to their craft, and it shows!
I highly recommend dining in and getting the thali (such good value!)

You also cannot go wrong with any of their Lassi!

If you are looking for real desi food in Boston try House of Kebab. It won’t disappoint you at all. I think it’s best desi food I had in Boston. It’s under new management. Food was delicious. Thali was amazing at reasonable price. The Owner offered us complimentary mango and pistachio ice cream, that was awesome. I would definitely go there again and recommend this place.

I have been going to taste of India for at least 6 years now. Everytime I grave some fresh tasty Indian food, their samosas are the best.
The portions are good and they also deliver

Noor Grill catered for our event and the food was mouth watering! We ran out of food because our guests kept serving themselves and going for rounds! Everyone was complementing the food, it was fresh and delish!! Highly recommend their catering services and can't wait to have another event so we can feast and enjoy the food again, soooo good!!!

I've ordered from this place a couple of times, and the food is above average. The portion size is pretty huge, especially the chicken shawarma and falafel plates. Taste is good, and spice level adequate, however their pita bread is not that soft, and tends to be chewy. Also, the hummus can be better (I've had much better ones before). Oh and you must taste their baklava, it's super awesome! Delivery has been on-time (thanks to UberEats), and overall I am pretty satisfied.
