"Great food! Had the grilled meat and chicken, all the salatim were delicious (schug is really good but it’s hiding). Even my picky daughter loved the falafel and asked to go back."

"Great small family Mediterranean cuisine. We ordered a family dinner from Zaatar. It was delicious, the service was excellent and the deserts awesome. I loved the pita with Schnitzel with the tasty Hummus. The salads are great, fresh Hummus:) There are only few tables to dine in so consider to take out."

"Great addition to the village! We stopped in for take out and ordered the grilled chicken, schnitzel, and Zatar flatbread. Both of the plates came with pita bread. Everything was super fresh, clean, and tasty. The staff were lovely and welcoming. Eager to try more on the menu!"

"Fantastic hidden gem. I was driving by for the last couple of months. Last night, we finally stopped and tried it out. We ordered takeout which was fantastic. A lot of flavor, very fresh. It's a family operated business. Certainly a great new addition for Brookline. They also have 5 tables in case you want to eat directly there rather than having takeout."
