Reviews for Aceituna Grill in Cambridge, MA
Aceituna is absolutely fantastic! I'm a huge fan of their restaurants for lunches during the work week along with their... catering. We used them last night for a larger event (60) people and they knocked it out of the park with food and service. Will definitely use again! Read more
Average Mediterranean fast food place. Got the beef & lamb rice plate with moussaka and fried cauliflower. Both beef and lamb... were too dry and it would've been impossible to eat them without moussaka on the side. The sides on the other hand were greatcompared to the meats. Read more
Such an excellent lunch spot (though be warned the portions are large, I can go the rest of the day without eating). But... seriously, great spot in Kendall Sq that usually has lines out the door on the weekday lunch crowd. I am religious on gettingthe spicy chicken shawarma rice plate (rice pilaf). The hummus is super authentic and I usually get the tabbouleh or thefattoush. I wish the fattoush was a bit more crunchy / crispy but still great. The best part of this place though, is theresauces. I can?t just choose one I go all in on the tahini, the house special pink spicy sauce, and their garlic sauce which youcan usually just douse on top. Great place for Middle Eastern cuisine and fast!

This is a nice fast-casual lunch spot. Did online ordering and the food was ready on time. The place was empty when we walked... in; our order was ready on a table by the door and there was a path marked to the exit so as to stay socially distanced. Theinside of the store was very clean and we had a completely contactless pickup. We got a falafel plate with a side ofcauliflower and spicy potatoes; it came with rice and a pink aioli-type sauce. While this isn't something we would eatregularly, it hit the spot for a quick lunch on the go. Read more
Informal and you order at the counter. I enjoyed the approach of picking rice, wrap or salad, then the protein and then two... sides. I got lamb and beef shawarma, on the Mediterranean rice, with tabbouli and hommous. They have a selection of saucesavailable. They place was quiet on a Saturday night but the staff was friendly and attentive. Would come back again. Read more
Great location in Kindle square, MIT and Charles River are walking distance. Nice decoration with colorful walls. After I saw... the server shaving the Shawarma from the rotating vertical spit, I was excited to try! I tried both the chicken and mixed beefand lamb, it was kind of disappointing as it was too dry with no flavor of unique seasoning. I might be biased in my review assomeone who knows the authentic taste of real Shawarma(see my review for Mike Calzone in Province and Alshami in Paterson) butoverall if you are in the area and in the mood for ?Shawarma? Acetina will be a good choice in comparison with other Cambridge?sShawarma. Read more
Such a great place! I only discovered this recently (coicdentally through the owners daughter) but was not disappointed at all.... The shawarma was terrific and reminded me of food in the middle East itself. Get the spicy chicken with spicy potatoes. It'stotally worth it. Highly recommend! Read more
Shawarma was very dry with no sauce present aside from at one end. There were barely any veggies despite having selected... multiple veggies options, and fries were disappointing. Chicken felt dry and old. Read more
