Shiraz Persian Cuisine: what do users think?
Maj Andalibi: Food was good. Not the best. Service needs some personality, nice smile but no interaction with the guests. For a restaurant in middle of nowhere to have automatic tip charge unacceptable, bad taste with customer or they might not coming back. Leave the tipping to the customer and they might even pay more than 20%. Good luckFood: 4/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 3/5 …More
Hossein ziayan: The best Persian cousin in MassachusettsFood: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
V Madison: Good food, but HATE the 20% automatically added in gratuity! For a party of 3. Seriously? Plus, she didn’t even let us know … guessing she hoped we wouldn’t see it so we’d double tip her. How sad. Annoying to the point I probably won’t go back.

Al Fall: Tried it today. The food was so so and the portion was small. Charged mandatory 20% tips in the bill. Such a rip off. Will never be back!
Matt Wilcox: Recommended dishes Beef Barg, Persian Ice Cream, Fresh Tandoori Bread, Beef Kubideh, HummusMore
Kayla Sadraie: Love this place! Best persian food in the area.
Mona Paak-zaad: We went to this restaurant with no high expectations on our end, and were delightfully surprised! The Persian Ice Cream was the best Persian I have ever had, in my entire life. Ghormeh Sabzi was delicious (this happened to be their stew of the day). I went with my mother and she has very high standards when it comes to Ghormeh Sabzi, and my Mother ABSOLUTELY LOVES the Cook's Ghormeh Sabzi and couldn't stop eating the extra Ghormeh Sabzi meal that we brought home that evening! For me the Persian Tea with Cardemon was the absolute Best Highlight. Try the Cream Puffs for desert they are also very very good! We had the past time! We went 10 years ago and did not like the ice cream, however now it has improved to the point of perfection. The dolmeh and Mirza Ghasemi Plate were definitely awesome as well! THIS IS THE BEST PERSIAN CUISINE I HAVE IN THE UNITED STATES, and I have been to other Areas of the USA as well, such as New York and Washington D.C. Please try this Persian restaurant over the other restaurants you will not regret it!
Shamjith Ahmed: The highlight of an almost 100$ lunch for 2 was the Persian bread and it definitely should not be the case. The beef kababs were not great. Chicken kababs were ok. Had to order yogurt dip extra to make it all slightly better.Service - when asked for the high chair we were pointed at the direction where it is at. Enough said. Please note 20 percent gratuity is included.Will not return or recommend.
Saeed Mehraban: I have been coming to this place for many years. Delicious and authentic Persian food and drinks with beautiful interior decorations.
Maria Eduarda Cordeiro Da Silva: Everything that they serve is heavenly delicious and presentable. Great food and Good Staff.
Ardalan Asgari: Food: 3/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 3/5More
Chem Eng: Besides the furniture, the food I think is kind of fake persian not authentic
Hemayat F. Nabiel: Question to the owner: you give Persian bread with Zeytoon at dine in, but you won’t for take out? That’s just one example of ignoring customers (it has also happened when we dine in). That you also add a service charge and you don’t inform the customer upon delivery of bill is downright dishonest.

Amfar Arda: Please don't choose this restaurant based on their fancy pictures. I was really disappointed with everything that we ordered. The koobide kebab was so obvious that was really old and I think it was made mostly with every other ingredient than meat! It was so hard and not juicy at all!!! The chicken kebab texture was not good and the chicken kebab was just became shiny by melted butter to have a good look but the tast......!! We ordered chicken tender with a hope to have a nice appetizers! I think they kept this chicken in the freezer for a long time and it had a freezer smell even while it was hot!! The chocolate mousse cake and the persian ice cream were good. We paid 7.5 $ just for 3 small cup of tea! Tah Deeg was served with so called ghormesabzi! As an Iranian person who is in love with this stew, I should say that it was the worst ghormesabzi in my life! Also they charged us 15.20$ as a gratuity (18%). In totall, I would never recommend this restaurant at all.

Abbas Hashim: The food was good but the waitress. She has very bad attitude not with me. Also was couple of customer came in I have been there before and the waitress was very nice not this one though I recommended the place to Friend and they told me the waitress was rude with them.

Maryam Seyfollahi: Considering the price, the service and the food quality were not good enough.

Amaury Baez: My only problem with this place is that i’m only allowed to give it 5 stars, when i would love to give it 10 stars! The food was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the warmest Iranian people we’ve met so far, and during the time we spent waiting for our food we were treated like family! I love this place. I will return from Vermont just to come back here. I wish we lived closer! Next time we are a 1-2 hour drive from here, we’re coming back for more!
Therese Ton: I had a truly wonderful experience catering experience from Roksana's for a company lunch celebrating Persian New Year. I called directly to consult what I should order for a party of 50 for Noruz. The owner suggested an array of beef koobideh, chicken kebab, grilled vegetables, saffron rice, mast-o-khiar (yogurt sauce with cucumbers, mint, salt, and pepper), and shiraz salad (chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion salad).The prices were so reasonably priced and the portions generous. The food quality is high and all of my co-workers gave raving reviews of how delicious and well-seasoned each dish was. Even the pickiest co-workers enjoyed the meal! I also bought a package of baklava and chickpea cookies which topped off our company lunch.Aside from the excellent food, the service from Roksana's exuded warmth, kindness, and true hospitality. The staff was so welcoming and extra accommodating. I would have returned just because of the service.I hope Roksana's continues to succeed and hope everyone gets the chance to dine there.
Matthew Overlin: Very good chicken koubideh and especially good beef koubideh. The guy in charge was very friendly.
Fara Souls: Best persian restaurant in Boston they have the best koodieh it literally melts in your mouth and the service was amazing. Love the vibe of the place they have a supermarket in it! I really wish they had seating area to enjoy the food warm even though everything we ordered was so delicious will definitely try more dishes. I wish them all the best and i wish if they will deliver to Boston area 😍
Stefan Faville: The food is a average. I had the stews both times and they were too oily and lacked flavor. Also, a bit pricey for the portion. Good service

Rain K: I love Persian food and I have so many reasons to love this restaurant. Hear me out as I explain as a non-Persian diner (1) Their Ash reshteh, which is hard to come by, is yummy, comforting and very filling. (2) All of the kebabs and the meat are flavourful. Even something simple as a grilled chicken is beautifully seasoned. (3) They offer freshly brewed black tea and it’s delicious!!! Do yourself a favour and order it after your meal. (4) There’s Persian ice cream on the menu it’s delightful especially because of the rose & saffron flavour. Lots of pistachios on the outside & inside add texture. (5) There’s tahdig in the appetizer section. (6) Their baklava is fresh and crispy properly made with pistachios (not walnut!)
Dawn Auron: Food quality price amazing they listened they I asked do no lettuce with my spinach pies. The only thing my I asked for extra napkins and didn't even get 1. This is my only issue if any!Vegetarian options: Food is so good !and they are nice people

Molana Restaurant: what do users think?
Durre Kidwai: Agha Tehrani, the owner is so gracious and helpful. We had an event and got the food catered. It was delivered exactly when he said it will be delivered. It was so fresh .Food review:Everyone asked where we got it catered from and I jokingly said I made it. The food was amazing looking, absolutely delicious and fresh. This was the exact flavor one would get in Iran.I ordered Chelo kebob, jojeh kebob, albaloo polo and the amazing Gormeh sabzi.....it was so delicious. My guests took all the left overs and were obsessed with the food.I have found a place where the food is fresh, absolutely mouth watering and excellent experience. I highly recommend Molana restaurant if you want an authentic experience, delicious and fresh food. This is my permanent place to get food catered.Thank you Agha Tehrani.
Bayan Jaber: After having enjoyed their authentic cuisine, I decided to cater from Molana I'm celebration of my husband's birthday. Everything went smoothly and the staff did their best to accommodate my requests for the event. The food quantity was generous and guests boxed up some leftovers to enjoy later. Thank you!!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Jeffrey Cummings: I love this place because the food is great and the vibe is family. My favorites are the hummus, mast khiar, chicken bars, ghorma sabzi and grimeh stew. Special
Han: Kind of weird to be offered water and then charged for it. Makes me a little uneasy about the state of their kitchen. The food was unmemorable and the whole place is pretty dirty. I would look elsewhere if I were you.
Morteza Maleki (US): The food was amazing and the best koobideh and chicken kabob ever ! Must try in Boston.
Mustaq Mohammad: Great food
Elijah Baldawe: The food was really good but the prices was outrageous, $168 for 3 people was beyond ridiculous, the charged a $30 mandatory tip and it excessively high, tips should be considered a courtesy not mandatory, we went to this restaurant 3 years ago and prices was reasonable, I won’t go there again and wouldn’t recommend it.Recommended dishes Khoresht Ghormeh Sabzi, Kabob-E-Soltani, Chicken Soltani …More

Golnar Fotouhi: I love this place. The best Persian restaurant in Massachusetts for sure. They have the best Gheyme❤️
Ali Bri: The food is delicious and the rice is the best compared to other places , the only thing I really didn’t like the waiter wasn’t happy at all. 😅
Abdul Abdulwaheed: I am a foodie. I can overlook anything and everything for a good Sultani. They have the best Sultani known to man. I have been eating here for 20 years now. Its the same chef. I watched his hair turn grey over the years. I am not sure how he makes it so awesome. Listen..... I am only judging the food.
Houra Sadeghi: My mother and I came here to have dinner and pick up some food for guests last night. As an Iranian family, I can assure you that you won't be disappointed if you come here.First, let's talk about the service. The waiter here is very dedicated and really is the depiction of Iranian hospitality. He refilled our waters, checked to see how we would like our kabobs cooked, etc.Second, let's talk about the food. My mom ordered kabob koobideh and really enjoyed it. Their kashke bademjan is also amazing and very well done with all the authentic toppings. Their maste moosir is great too!Long story short, come visit and support this budding restaurant. You'll also get to learn about Molana, the infamous 13th century poet also known as Rumi.

Azar Shahraz: The best Persian restaurant in Boston area.
Russell Izadi: The best Koobideh I had in the Boston area so far but not happy with the rice. I asked them to make it well-cooked but it seemed a little raw to me. I ordered the Albaloo polo but it was so were and running. The rice with the other order, a veggie plate, was fine.

Ron Ferguson: I love this place! The Milana Restaurant has my highest recommendation. I ate there while on vacation in Boston. I come from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, which is the home of some of the finest Persian restaurants outside of Iran. This means that I have exceptionally high standards. The food was delicious, the staff were professional and friendly, and the atmosphere was family-friendly. I will return whenever I am in the Boston area. I think it is the finest restaurant for this kind of food in this part of the United States. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. The staff are terrific. I wish I was there right now. It is worth the trip! I am looking forward to eating there again.

Sabrina Abrams: Hands down the best halal/middle eastern food in the greater Boston area!! Super fresh and delicious, with generous portions for a great price.I had ordered just before they closed, and they had missed the order. There was a bit of confusion, but instead of saying I ordered too late they kindly prepared the order and even threw in a baklava to apologize. Above and beyond customer service, they deserve a 6th star!!! :D
Timothy Sniffin: Ordered several of their plates including kabobs and gyro. Great quality and portions for a reasonable price. Online ordering ensures it is done every time before I arrive. Highly recommend giving this place a shot.
Rajesh Prabhu: Ordered carnivore platter, falafel plate, baklava, pita and hummus. The taste was so amazing. The meat was well cooked and had lot of flavor. Loved the sauces and sides (salad, hummus and other things). The food was really delicious and the quantity was good for the price. Definitely worth to try this place. I will definitely try it again too. 👍👍👍👍 I don't know why it shows the restaurant name as red fez in Uber eats instead of pita Cambridge lol

The Helmand: what do users think?
Yoel Fink: I’ve been coming to Helmand since I was in graduate school back in the 90’s. I’ve since become a professor (in part due to the outstanding Chowpan and kaddo). The quality of this restaurant is just exceptional and has remained so over 30 years. Particularly noteworthy is the fresh baked bread made as you watch. One of the hidden gems of Cambridge!

Ramdas Pisharody: The initial wait was aggravating since there were groups of people with reservations at the same time that the restaurant took nearly 20 minutes to seat. Subsequently the food was served very quickly and it was delightful, substantial and flavoursome. We had the eggplant and pumpkin starters followed by Chowpan and the Murg kebab with baklava and ice cream for dessert. Excellent Afghan meal, would definitely recommend the restaurant.

karim hafiz: My wife and I visited Boston for the first time and we decided to have dinner at Helmand Restaurant. It was the best thing we did because everything we ordered was leaps and bounds better than any afghan restaurant we've been to. When dinning at restaurants we like to order multiple appetizers and one entree as this allows us to get a better feel for the different flavors in the cuisine. We ordered banjan, bolani, shor nakhod, ashuk for appetizers and chappli kebab for an entree. The entire time we kept looking at each other in amazement of how good the food was!! The naan they make, fresh out of a brick oven, reminded me of how my family made it back in Afghanistan and it tasted just as good!!!We have had our share of afghan food in many states ranging from New York, Northern Virginia and California but this place is hands down the best! Everyone was very hospitable and the ambiance of the place was perfect and our waiter was very attentive. We will DEFINITELY be coming back for more in the future!Vegetarian options: We ordered bolani and shor nakhod vegetarian options available on the menu.

Francesca Gordini: I suggest finding a seat near the big oven so you can watch the expert focaccia maker prepare incredibly huge sheets of leaved bread, similar to a focaccia. Cardamom black tea.

Both are cooked very well.The flavors seem to be the sweet spot between indian and middle eastern food.The service is always good.I love the properly prepared tables with table cloths, proper napkins etc.

J C (Tempiwmf): A beloved concert venue in the heart of Cambridge. I've seen rock, rap, & all kinds of shows in my years. Whether you're at Sonia, upstairs, or downstairs the venue is amazing.Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Amna Ali: Went to support a friend for open mic night! (stand up comedy) Josh day (the MC) did not appreciate that a big group was here to support someone and taking up space/making noise and heckled us while we paid hefty tips. He also cut off our friend by interrupting him for 2 minutes and then cutting him off. I don’t know what issue he had with us but he kept on disrespecting us throughout the show by flipping us off as he walked off stage. Will never come to the Middle East again and if anyone wants to do stand up I would recommend they don’t come here either.
