Tarboosh

So we moved to boston in the summer and have tried mutiple shawerma/​flafel places and by far this has been the best i’ve had. Thie garlic mayo sauce on the side is amazing. We also tried the mixed grill and cheese zaatar mnaa2eesh and it was all amazing! They make everything fresh and very close to syrian atyle food actually made in the middle east! This is a must try!

I literally kid you not this is the best pizza i have ever had in my entire life. hole in the wall places always have the best food. I was seriously so impressed the crust was perfectly cooked and the toppings were amazing!!!

I love this restaurant ! The Shawerma tastes just like any Shawerma you will have in the Middle East, they make the tabouleh fresh after you order it and you can taste the difference! My husband and I are becoming regulars. I would recommend calling beforehand as they make everything fresh so it takes them some time. Can’t wait to try the other stuff!

One of the best middle eastern food in Boston :) I am glad that I found this place. Everything is so tasty specially the cheese and zaatar pie, So Yummmy!

I came here on Thurs night. I had the chicken schwarma combo. The humus and grape leaf are amazing. The schwarma was awesome too. Very tasty.

This is the best restaurant in MA I love the food «all kind». Everything is fresh the Hummus, garlic sauce, chicken, falafel and salads NOTHING IS FROZEN. I highly recommend everyone who wants to try Mediterranean food to go to Tarboosh.
P.s they do catering for universities and events

This is probably my new favorite place in Allston! I’m not even exaggerating, it’s that good. If you like falafels and authentic Mediterranean food than this is the place to go in Allston.
I ordered pickup, but the restaurant is a nice size and you shouldn’t have too much trouble getting a seat. It’s got a nice ambiance, but most importantly the food is delicious. The owner, Modi, is a really nice guy. He works very hard at his craft and takes what he does very seriously. He takes a lot of pride that all of his food is made fresh with fresh ingredients, not frozen food reheated behind a door in the kitchen. You can see everything he does too, so you can see how much thought and effort he puts into creating a dish.
The food is reasonably priced as well, especially considering the very large portions. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Great food and amazing service!
Plus opens until pretty late at night and after bar hopping is just the best!
Try out the Chicken Schwarma!

Love this place! The food is amazing. After going to the middle east, from my experience this place has the most authentic and tasty mediterranean food that I’ve had in the states. Came to Boston just for a short visit after moving away and made a point to come here! The ingredients are great and cooked so perfectly!

This is a small restaurant serving Middle Eastern high food quality. Shawrma, kabab and thier manosha are all superb ana amazingly delicious. The service is very good too Modi tries to give his best for a pleasant experience and he’s good at what he’s doing.

Friendly owners and good food. The most authentic kofta and shawerma I tasted in Boston so far

Thanks Modi and his father for everything not only about the food, Actually they are my friends here, thanks again for helping me, finally they are the best.

The owner Modi is the best! Very hospitable and very kind.
I always order cheese pizza with some topping, and I enjoyed it every single time. Unlike most pizza restaurants, they put a lot pizza sauce and cheese, thus making a very delicious food. Also, arab shawarma is really good and they make it right in front of you.
They also do pickup if you call the beforehand, pretty useful stuff especially for BU students

We got a
deal, so traveled from Framingham.
When we arrived, we found out their AC was not working. Bummer because it was HOT and we had just taken a walk around the Charles River. But, they offered to put a table outside for us, which was very nice. Unfortunately, the street is rather noisy and dirty, and it was fairly hot still, but we made the best of it.
The food took a while, but it was FANTASTIC. Beautifully set out, fresh and delicious, it could not have tasted any better. We got veggie platters, chicken shawarama, and a mixed meat grill.
The people there were super nice, and the price was fine. We would recommend it highly for takeout, and somewhat for eat in. I would be happy to return there.

Best Arabic food in Boston a shawarma sandwich to die for, their food taste fresh
very friendly owners

There was one other person in the restaurant eating at 7 pm on a Sunday so my friend and I thought that we would get our food relatively quickly. A shawarma and a falafel with a side of hummus shouldn’t take long, right? Wrong. When we checked in around 25 minutes of waiting, we were told 5 – 10 more minutes because there were a lot of to go orders that we were not informed about. It took 50 minutes total. The guy apologized for the wait when we got our food but this is not somewhere I would go for quick service. Customers eating in should not be the lowest priority.
The food I had was 3 – 3.5 stars — the hummus was pretty good and the chicken shawarma had good flavor but was dry.

Clean, friendly, simple and delicious. Probably the best falafel and hummus I’ve ever had.

I stopped by today to use some of my LoopedIn cash at a new place and was intrigued by the menu as it was pretty minimalistic (main staples are pizza, shawarma, and kabobs). I thought it was odd I couldn’t find the menu online ahead of tim, but I always admire places that do a small amount of things well, so I had high hopes.
I ordered a chicken kabob sandwich, listed at $ 7.50 and waited around 10 – 15 minutes for it to be prepared. The man behind the counter asked what I wanted on it and I said «whatever it comes with,» but he then asked if I wanted lettuce so I asked for lettuce and peppers if possible. I also asked for tomatoes, but he said that they were not included.
I was a bit irked when my total ended up being $ 9.56 (nowhere near $ 7.50). The sandwich was actually a roll up and included chicken, peppers, lettuce, French fries (??) and some thick white sauce that looked like ricotta cheese (possibly Tzatziki sauce?)
The sandwich was a good size – 2 meals – but the chicken was dry. The peppers were limp (versus crisp), and the sauce had that very odd consistency. The pita was good and the fries (while a big surprise) had good flavor.
I wouldn’t jump to come back, although the man was very nice and apologetic for the delays.
TIP: Be careful paying with LoopedIn as I don’t think many of the staff are trained to use it.

This was a delightful little find. My family and I went on a Saturday night, and I was disappointed that there weren’t more people there, so I’m writing this in hopes that more people will patronize this little gem.
The food is made fresh for every order. The tabouleh and Mediterranean salad with pita chips were to die for, and the Shawarma pizza was brilliant (although I wish we had ordered the spicy version). Even though we were full, we gorged on their baklava for dessert.
The chef/​owner was very attentive and enthusiastic and the meal was a bargain at roughly $ 10 a person. We will visit again soon.

Awesome chicken kabobs! Moist and flavorful!
Homemade hummus is to die for!
I’ll can’t wait to come back.
