Best Paraguayan Restaurant Cambridge Near Me

J W G: Had breakfast there, while staying in the hotel.The waitress ignored us for about 10 min though we were the only in the queue waiting to be seated.We decided to take a seat ourselves.After another 10 min the lady who was to clean the tables brought us the menu.Also the cutlery was dirty.

Linda Barlaam: We had a private event at Bambara and we highly recommend. We were seated in a lovely private area of the restaurant.The food was delicious. Shout out to Andres our server for an outstanding job. We started with the wings and calamari.We appreciated that the calamari cooked to perfection with a delicious sauce. The beet salad, salmon and hanger steak were all amazing and the portions were quite large. The creme brulee and chocolate dipped fruit made for lovely ending to what was a terrific meal. We highly recommend this restaurant for your private celebrations!

Claire Walker: I had 4 meals here. All were great. The menu was restricted due to a staff event the first night, even so, the kitchen made an exception to serve some excellent oysters. Breakfasts were tasty and very generous. I had a classic one day and a salmon bagel the second day. The only thing I would say is that a little more cream cheese would have been good for the bagel. The lobster roll was generous and well cooked. I really liked the hot or cold option.

Andrea Perez: Nov 2022, Chef Adam Resnick kindly brought the dish out himself and I proceeded to enjoy one of the most delicious meals of my life! I wish I knew what this dish was called, it was special for charity so I am unable to find it on the menu. Everything we ordered was so yummy! Sauce for the oysters, burger, fries, etc. The tostones were perfect, the sauce was perfect, I wish I could be transported back!

Court Noyes: Bambara is the epitome of approachable 6 Fine Dining with Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, and Peter (our Server) is the best when it comes to amazing expert recommendations and knowledgeable insights into the different dishes on the menu. I highly recommend both the swordfish and the steak and my partner and I both thoroughly enjoyed the oysters and the clam chowder to start.I also want to remind people that oysters are two for $3 between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., and while we did not take advantage of this since we ate later in the evening on Valentine's Day, the oysters were still amazing. Fresh and local from Barnstable!The sides are generous, and we enjoyed the fingerling potatoes delicata squash anymore taking some of the sides home.The food is elevated, customizable and also quite delicious.If you are in the area, whether it be at MIT just across the river in Boston, for passing through the area, I highly recommend asking for Peter at them Bambara restaurant. When you call you may get John, who I believe is one of the managers, and handles everything deftly making all dinner and hotel guests feel welcome.Hot tip: ask for one of the booths! Very romantic if you are looking for that.Drinks are sublime - ask about the Old Fashioned and also the bartender's favorites.Oh and don't skip when it comes to dessert! Creme brulee bananas over a chocolate mousse with oatmeal cookies finished off the evening - elevated presentation and delicious!Don't think twice - just make a reservation or walk in and know you are in for a great night!!Vegetarian options: Many optionsKid-friendliness: The team is ready to assist families.Parking: Parking through Kimpton Marlowe Hotel. $25-$45Wheelchair accessibility: YesDietary restrictions: Every item (as far as I know) can be customized.

Mary B: What a lovely restaurant! Stopped here on our way to the science museum and didn't regret it. The food was incredible-- you could really tell the head chef and kitchen staff are artists. Everything tasted as good as it looked (which was consistently beautiful). Drinks were good-- highly recommend the pesto arancini, they were mind blowing.

Herm Trepesch: Great vibe

Christopher Lawrence: Great ambiance. Table attendant Katherine was very helpful and welcoming. Great spot to grab a quality breakfast/brunch. Flavors were amazing. Breakfast sandwich and oatmeal were our favorites.

Andrew and Renee Seaman: The service was really slow and we had to wait 15 minutes to get in and there was only 5 tables full

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!

Icy Kendrick: First time at a Turkish restaurant and it was great. Lamb was a little salty though. I got a negroni and it was fine but I think a red wine would have gone better with the meal.

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.
