Best Lithuanian Restaurant Cambridge Near Me

Mel: Oleana is one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. Every dish is bursting with flavor and very creative. The waitstaff is always super nice and helpful, and while it may seem expensive, I think it's quite reasonable for what you get (especially when compared to other places in the area). We ALWAYS order the topik, fatteh, and sultans delight, but everything I've ever had here has been delicious. I couldn't speak more highly of Oleana - definitely go here!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. At least 50% of the menu is vegetarian or can be made vegetarian.

Anthony Maiorana: Everything about our experience here felt amazing. Our reservation was at 8 and we got seated relatively quickly even though we were a bit early. We had a cozy little table in the bar area.We did two tasting menus plus cocktails and a couple of other dishes and the vegetarian creativity at this restaurant absolutely blew us away. We felt so lucky for getting to eat here. Definitely worth going and spending some time here

Arthur Athanas: Wonderful dining experienceParking: Tricky but doable. Pay attention to the trafficWheelchair accessibility: Seemed to be fine. Entrance was a ramp

Ahmed Kamal: Hands down my favorite restaurant in Boston. Gives that “finally, something new” taste after every other run-of-the-mill restaurant. Great taste and texture to every dish I’ve tried. Also a good variety of dishes without deviating much from the cuisine.I tried their peer restaurant, Sarma, and it was really underwhelming. If you have to pick one, make sure it’s Oleana.

Max P: Came here on a double date and we shared a whole bunch of plates family-style. I don’t think there was a single plate that we didn’t enjoy. Will definitely be back!

Zhe Gong: Made reservation more than three weeks ahead of time and went there for birthday dinner on a Thursday night at 830pm. The restaurant is small (elbow-to-elbow dining) and extremely noisy. The dishes we ordered were not bad (three spinach falafels, two quail meat bites, a few braised beef bites, lamb and cabbage bites, whipped feta, and baklava), however definitely not worth the price (three falafels for $14???), nor the hype. The service was slow. Overall it was not an enjoyable experience and I left super disappointed.If you are rich (or have a super tiny stomach) and get impressed easily, maybe this place is not too bad a choice.

Jea Kim: Great casual fine dining experience in a quiet Cambridge neighborhood.Took a visit here for dinner on a Saturday night. Its casual and rustic interior blended in perfectly with the atmosphere of the neighborhood, and our servers were very welcoming. We were initially planning to do the tasting menu, but the regular a la carte menu seemed too good to miss. We ended up ordering a bunch from their regular menu which turned out to be the right decision.The optional focaccia and rye bread with sweet scallion butter was an excellent start to the meal. From the appetizers, we had the kohlrabi & cabbage, country terrine, and the scallop crudo. Topped with a mélange of earthy and floral ingredients, the scallop crudo was my favorite from the appetizers. Each bite was creamy and flavorful yet inexplicably light. Sprinkled with cranberries and spiced seeds, the kohlrabi and cabbage salad was also delightful. I especially loved the spiced seed toppings which added the right amount of nuttiness and crunchy texture.Saffron bigoli with leeks and clam sofrito had a slightly boring flavor profile, but the pappardelle verde with lamb sugo was phenomenal. I’m usually not a fan of mint toppings, but it managed to become a perfect complement to the lamb sugo. Subsequent 3 entrées were also amazing. Japanese-inspired soy marinated cod was perfectly tenderized, and its delicate texture paired well with the carrots and leeks soaked in dashi. Forking a concoction of chimichurri sauce, garlic purée, and grilled spring onion with tender pieces of beef teres major was also very satisfying.We finished off the meal with the carrot cake sundae and the lemon poppyseed cake. The dessert section lacked refined taste, but we still appreciated their effort to put something unique and interesting. Overall, a really enjoyable dinner experience at a reasonable price. Would definitely come back some day to try their tasting menu.Parking: Street parking available on Huron Ave Concord Ave

Jessica Cersosimo: Went on a date here and decided to splurge on the tasting menu and wine pairing for $135 per person. The food was good but not mind blowing. Honestly for a $400 bill, for two, I expected way more in the food and service dept.The scallop crudo is actually the only course I really remember as being impressive, the filet was cold and chewy.Service was just ok. Pleasant but the whole experience felt rushed. Felt like the goal was to get us in and out as quickly as possible. Wine for the next course was served before we even finished what we had in our glass. I felt pressured to pound back the wine and keep moving.The server didn't even announce the first dish, just plopped it down and left and I have no idea what wines we drank because not only could I barely hear him, he talked so fast I could't understand anyway.The wine was so so and one glass had bits of something at the bottom from what ever was in the bottom of the bottle.All in all, it was an insanely overpriced meal that was pleasant enough but not an experience I would do again or recommend.They did comp our cocktails which were tasty because we had to wait so long to be seated which was thoughtful.

Raffi Asdourian: One of the best restaurants in the greater Boston area. Intimate, cozy and delicious, this is an amazing hidden gem for date nights or special occasions or just indulging. Also, they deserve an award for their bread and butter, absolutely to die for.

Liz Barbour: Wow! Our family has eaten at Talulla twice for special occasions, and it's worth the price. Be sure to get the tasting menu with wine pairing!Dietary restrictions: They were more than willing to substitute a course in the tasting menu because of a shellfish allergy.

Elina Uriaev: Great tasting menu. Intimate and cozy restaurant, with great food, wine list and excellent service. We were there for a birthday dinner and they were very accommodating to someone in our party with gluten allergy and another person who is pesceterian.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Rebekah Dale: Probably some of the best service I've ever had. The staff made us feel immediately welcome upon arrival and the bartender made a superb drink recommendation that I probably wouldn't have ordered on my own. We ate in the greenhouse, which was a super cute and cozy private dining experience. Aside from the drink, our food highlights were also the rosemary honey butter and the white truffle cacio e pepe. Our waiter was wonderful throughout the evening. We loved that the restaurant includes a fee (instead of a tip) to cover reasonable wages for all of their staff. Still left a tip anyway since the service was above and beyond.

Isaac Julien: Delicious!!Recommended dishes Foie Gras Torchon, Honey Butter, Wine Pairing, Gnocchi …More

Hugues Le Bras: We had the tasting menu. Every dish was delicious and the price was very fair for the quality and quantity. The service was efficient and friendly. They even offered our table an excellent pear cider to pair with dessert. We will come back for sure.My only suggestion would be to have a little more extensive wine list by the bottle (although we enjoyed the one we picked).

Barbara Konchinski: This place is an absolute gem. Every dish we tried was fantastic, the staff made absolute every moment feel extra special, the atmosphere is cozy-romantic. Really looking forward to returning for their tasting menus.

Evan Roberts: Everything about Talulla was exceptional. We came here a couple of weeks ago for our four year anniversary, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. My partner went with the tasting menu and I ordered a la carte. We love when food is an experience, and not only was everything delicious, it was an adventure as well. Service was great and the wine recommendations were perfect for our meals. Would definitely visit again!

Jamie Pavlovsky: Phenomenal food and great service! Not sure how they made something as seemingly basic as broccoli soup taste so scrumptious! The spare rib with lentils and pumpkin fell apart at the touch, very flavorful. And my husband really enjoyed the tasting menu, especially the scallops and wagyu steak. It’s a small restaurant with a cozy vibe, would highly recommend.

Andrew Hawes: An absolute pleasure visiting Talulla. Conor and his attentive team took great care of us, and made us feel at home while we indulged in absolutely amazing food. Everything we ate and drank was spot on- ask the team for recommendations and they will not disappoint. Well done, very impressed Conor and Danielle!

Joyce Wen: All the dishes are a little bit salty, and the stubborn chef didn’t take our suggestions, won’t visit again.

Cecile Braun-Jones: Quiet space which was just what we needed.Sat across the door which is covered with heavy curtains that the staff carefully keeps closed so cold outside air doesn't hit you every time the door opens. I much appreciated the attention they gave to that detail.Outside dinner pods available if that is your thing.Shared an amazing butternut soup - which got plated in two separate bowls- and kale salad which was quite large and tasty Ordered the bread as well which came with seasoned buttered you can't get enough of. Roasted squash risotto was incredible, squash was included in different forms that added to the depth of the meal. Delicious.Too stuffed for dessert after that.Service was good too.Reservation recommended

Sergio Solis Checa: It started really well with great small plates that we took as starters, which set high expectations for large plates. However, main were nowhere close to the level of the starters, we had salmon and couscous.The place itself is quite simple but cozy, so no complaints, but nothing special as well.The service is super friendly, but a little slow, and I didn't like that they automatically add 18% gratuity, and then list extra space for tip on top of the gratuity

Trent: The food (chicken tagine, lamb tagine) was under seasoned and underwhelming.

Tim Carter: Best meal I've had in ages! The calamari starter was a def. highlight - very light coating and perfectly cooked with a slightly spicy sauce - Double Yum!!

Othin Ram: food is just okay.would've given negative review given the chance. They didn't serve the drinks we ordered but added in the bill. over charged for the item. in total I had to ask them thrice to change the bill. with the terrible service I had no intention to add good tip but they added 18% already.we're the first group to be in that restaurant and for 30 mins no one was there. their response was really rude and I had a terrible experience when I came here along with my parents.when I asked them about terrible service they told they're busy. Omar (manager) response was we've only ordered 2 entrees. We're group of 4 and we've ordered 2 small plates and 3 entrees and made $175 bill. The way they've responded was so mean and rude. I regret going to this place.

Aishwarya Bobbili: They need to hire staff. These people have worst service and try to make u order more dishes just to include in the bill. We ordered some drinks and they did not even serve us and charged in the bill. They know people don’t tip them for their service and they charge it by themselves for 18% in the total bill which is compulsory for us to pay.Totally worst experience here. Wouldn’t recommend it.
