Boston Shawarma

Good food jucier shwarma, kebab could've been better

I had the mixed platter. The portions are huge and the food is delicious. I would definitely return.

I had the combo (chicken and lamb) plate along with fries and salad. Lamb was very good while chicken was ok. On the downside, Hummus that came along with it was not fresh and was actually cold. Will try some other dishes next time.

Tried the shawarma with fries and garlic sauce. It was amazing! They offer free soda/water with any sandwich as long as you pay by cash. Overall the food was good and not expensive. Also, it's open till 10:30pm!

Food is just not very good unfortunately.

Nice Shawarma both chicken and beef Also, Kofta is tasty

This place is just great! You will find finger licking food here,, very delicious. The person who works there is really very hard working and makes the greatest food you expect. I would recommend this place. Entire menu is HALAL.

Food is very nice.. Service is good but slow.. One shouldn't really complain as this establishment is run by just one person

alright me and my wife were went to this place. And guess what the address that they have on here is a Freekin House address i was very disappointment, and was very pissed off. And i was very very hungry.

Definitely a must-hit halal restaurant in Boston, whether you are on the go to the MFA or looking to dine in. Try the sujok or makanek sandwiches, they are delicious and packed with flavor. Not sure about the criticism regarding service, they were always friendly and quick when I've been there.

If I had to choose between alhamdulillah (thumbs up) and astaghfirullah (thumbs down) as this websites suggests, I'd have to go with astaghfirullah. I don't know if these are the best shawarmas in the Boston area, but there are definitely better shawarmas to be had where I come from. Plus, the service was sub-par; I asked him for water for me and my two friends and after trying to grab his attention twice he relented by giving me one cup of water.

The food is ok but the service the not! The person serving has an attitude.

I enjoyed there sharwama with a friend there. It was so good in taste that I packed 3 more sharwamas for family before my return flight to home.

Good food and their lamb is really good. But do NOT even try their fool sandwich, it was really nasty! everything else was good.

Great owner. Great prices. Food was repeatedly a hit for everyone when they cooked for us during Ramadan.

I travel from providence to boston to eat at this place. overall nice and clean.

Excellent Shawerma, very tasty.

It was refreshing to see good quality halal food available in the heart of boston. Food was fresh and served promptly. Highly recommended. I beelive zabihah.com is doing a great service. Had it not for this website, I would have never known about boston shawarma as well as other halal food vendors in the area. Also, the rating system helps as well.

I loved everything I've had there -except the kibbeh which was a bit dry. GREAT lentil soup and Konafah Nablusiyyah. It's my favorite place to eat when I'm on campus (Northeastern University). The first time I went they gave me complimentary baklava which I plan on returning to sample many times insha'allah.

I being a student in Boston, eat here often. The few items that I have tried are all good. Though I would highly recommend the Kafta Kebab sandwich or dinner plate. The shop is rather small, since most customers (students mainly) stop by for a quick sandwich. And last but not the least, the service is friendly and prices are very decent.

AA - We came to boston on a short visit. The food is reasonably good. The place is rather small and tarnish but looks like this is the trend with all the resto of the city. a good value over all.

We recently visited Boston to attend a conference and had lunch and dinner at this Place. This is certified halal restuarant, mostly middle eastern. Chicken Shawerma was good, but Chickem Kekab was excellent. Sweets like Baklawa etc. is available. Very close to Boston Convention Center and Northeast University.

A great place to pick up Middle Eastern sandwiches (hummus, baba ghannoush, shawarma) or to sit and enjoy a more substantial plate with shawarma or kebab and Middle Eastern salad and other side dishes. Good value for your money.

"A pleasant fast-food eatery located near Northeastern University and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Shawarma serves the usual Shami staples (from kabobs to falafel to tabbuli) plus authentic items like Fattoush and Kibby. Rounding out the menu are an unusual variety of pies, desserts, and homemade juices. The "Allah" poster was comforting behind the counter, the cashier assured me the chow was halaal, and no alcohol is served. Add friendly service, sound presentation, decent prices, and it's no wonder the joint is popular with homesick Levantines and the hordes of area students looking for cheap, tasty fast food. They also deliver."

The amount of good food that you can get for like $16 is insane. I got the Lamb Plate and it was able to feed me for two meals. And the hummus is incredible.

The Shawarma tastes great. But I don’t have any service. The sauce smells like peanut. The price is higher than I expected.

Delicious vegetarian falafal sandwich and fantastic service! I appreciated the free water bottle and the honey baklava was just perfect, not too sweet. I'll definitely be back for more!!

what an insanely large portion and so much variety in food in one plate. solid flavors too, I wouldn’t say the meat was incredible but it wasn’t distractingly dry or anything. It’s solid. it’s like a time machine to when things were 5$, i think 20$ is worth it when you get a bit of everything and they aren’t trying to pinch pennies on the size of a falafel or meat like cava

Great value for money. I have never finished my plate ($17), and I always leave fulfilled. Also, free water with entrée is a great touch, and the honey walnut baklava is incredible. I will keep coming back, even though it is near Northeastern.

Good tasting shawarma with amazing hummus! It’s a tiny rundown spot with just a few tables for dine-in, but the place was packed with students and locals on a weekday. The meal came with a nice portion size and packed with great flavors. Perfect spot for a quick bite too.

Food is very fresh and incredibly delicious! Great portions had many leftovers to enjoy again. Only disappointed in the pita bread, it was the only thing not homemade, thin and a bit dry. Probably good for the wraps, not great alone. Highly recommend the combos

Solid shawarma spot with generous protein. The food was served very quickly so this spot is perfect on the go too. The food is really flavorful too so I do think this is also very worth the price that you pay. Would highly recommend stopping by here to grab a quick meal!
