“Whole menu halal — a neighbor caught it on the way in. Jerk salmon and braised oxtail are the early headlines. Soft opening energy, but the move is already clear.”

Stopped by nuba during their soft launch this weekend. We’re already regulars at their other location, so we were excited to check out the new café. The hot bar was so good, and we’re looking forward to coming back once they officially open. Got the Jerk Salmon bowl!

Got the braised oxtail bowl during the soft opening and it was so flavourful and delicious! Cute place to grab a quick meal, love the decor and comfortable seating. Will definitely be coming back to try more things

After months of anticipation Nuba Cafe (soft) opened today! We stopped in today for a pastry, but have enjoyed other dishes at their other location as well. I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu here over they next few months. Welcome to the neighborhood, we are so…

Boston Shawarma

“Their site confirms halal meats throughout, but the execution is inconsistent—dry chicken, salty lamb, missing flavor. The service has moments of warmth and moments of dismissal. Worth trying if you're near campus, but manage expectations on quality.”

Gyroscope
Fenway–Kenmore
“A neighbor who knows the score says the whole menu swings halal. The beef kefta gyro is the move when the kitchen is on—fresh pita, sauces that matter, generous kefta. Execution is inconsistent, but when it lands, it lands hard.”

Soul on Shawmut
Boston
“Halal soul food from the Abdul-Musawwir siblings—the chopped cheese and fried chicken are why people come back. Execution wobbles (temperature, order accuracy) but the heart is real.”
