“Halal since 2009, they've fed generations of Harvard students and anyone with sense. The shawarma is juicy and the wrap is huge — order late.”

So so good. Got the chicken wrap and fries. Meat was so juicy and flavorful, assembled well, HUGE too. Really great place. Plz don’t support the other shitty chains in area and go here instead.

Best place for a causal lunch or dinner in Cambridge! Fresh salad and perfectly cooked meats. Each plate or wrap is perfectly balanced! The portions will fill you up and the prices are great!

I read some of the negative reviews here and do not agree with them. I found the owner to be very kind, and it is clear that he works extremely hard. The food was quite good compared to similar places I have visited. The chicken and lamb shawarma were much juicier than expected…

Had a good falafel here. The place is tiny (read cute and cozy) but is sufficient for ordering upstairs and dining downstairs. The preparer was friendly and gave me a free Turkish tea (with my roll-up) after a short friendly conversation.

The chicken schwarma plate was absolute perfection. Everything was extremely fresh, and the pickles that are in it are soooo good. Really everything was amazing but those were a nice surprise. Great local place and the man who served me was incredibly kind. I can’t stress enough…

“The Creekstone burger is halal. The rest of the menu isn't. Order accordingly — and know that the portions are small for the price.”

Luxor Cafe

“Egyptian cafe near Harvard Square with real technique in the kitchen. The French toast and sandwiches are the move; the specialty lattes are prettier than they taste.”
