Die besten gemütlichen Restaurants in Framingham

We love the ambiance but got crowded quickly which is expected during holiday season. Two of us were dining and another friend dropped by but the restaurant could not accommodate him by adding another chair saying we had made reservations for only 2 people. That was a bummer! We were almost done dining too so not sure why we couldn't be given an additional space for a few minutes. Food was good, server was good too.

Our request to change reservation time was graciously honored and met. Our anniversary was ceremoniously recognized on arrival. Cami, our server, couldn't have been nicer and perfectly attentive from our cocktails and appetizers through delicious, well prepared entrees to our complimentary anniversary dessert. We will be back soon!!

We had an amazing time. The service was absolutely fantastic. Thank you Shannon! There were 4 of us. We ordered meatballs and pork belly apps. Cesar salads (we got 2 and they split them for us in the kitchen) - good sizes. All delicious. For entrée we had, short ribs, sirloin steak, Kansas City steak and twin petit filet mignon. All perfectly cooked and very tasty. We complimented the meals with asparagus, spinach and hash browns. For dessert we got ice cream, chocolate explosion and key lime. All very good as well. This is the type of experience we look for when we get together every month for dinner! We shall return!

We were really pleased with the food. We kept our order simple by taking them up on their pre-packaged "works" offering - $50/pp (2 min) which included several starters and assorted grilled kebabs over rice plus dessert. Their take on baba ganoush was excellent - I make the stuff myself, and I'm pretty pleased with mine...Theirs was better. In fact better than I've had from anywhere else. The humus was also excellent as were the grape leaves. The kibbe was exceptional both as to ratio of meat to grain and also texture and flavor. Fattoush salad, labne - everything on the table was exemplary. Honestly, I'm a tough grader and this stuff was far better than expected and worth a trip there all by itself. Then the grilled meats - the lamb, the chicken, the kofta (really interesting) all excellent as well. Some nice grilled veg as well. The rice was the only let-down, and frankly at this point with their overachievement everywhere else - who cares? Dessert included was baklava - a good example, but not a highlight for me. Bottom line for me is these folks know how to cook, seem to have some real tradition driving their recipes (as they are distinctive), and offered way more quality and quantity (did I mention quantity) than expected. My cocktail was also good, btw. I am mostly disappointed by suburban restaurants, but not so this time. This discerning diner will definitely return.

Went to have a bite before going to TCAN concert. It was only a block away food great choice for food, service, and ambience. I would definitely recommend going there.
