This place is hustling and bustling with customers... delicious food, great atmosphere and extremely friendly and knowledgeable... staff. Mina, our waitress, was so informative, which was very helpful to us, as it was our first time there and we were notsure of some of the items. The kitchen help was also very friendly and awesome as he also brought out food to us. Sorry, Ididn't get his name! We sat at the outside seating area as we did not have any reservations, which was very comfy and cozy. We ordered many dishes, there were so many things to choose from that sounded delicious, we could not resist! We're sooooooohappy we did! We ate so much that we had to take home the cheesecake! I forgot to mention the Pomegranate lemonade spritzer. It was my fave! Read more
What a fabulous bar and intimate restaurant in Cambridge. The specialty drinks at the bar were delicious! Food was authentic... Mediterranean- We sampled many of the tapas sized appetizers and shared a mixed grill platter. Save room for the desserts! Foodwas spectacular and service a definite 5 stars- you wont be disappointed! We will be sharing this gem with all our friends andwill definitely be back again soon! Read more
Nice trendy restaurant with a beautiful bar. Flavors were excellent for most dishes but portions on the small side. My favourite... was the mixed grill plate. Fattoush salad slight too tart for me. Eggplant dish was very tasty and had a smoky flavor. Read more
Contemporary middle eastern delectables served in an intimate setting. Recently took a visit to experience another middle... eastern hype in Cambridge. The highly-praised za’atar bread was unfortunately no longer served, but their menu still seemed tofeature a good amount of creative middle eastern cuisines. Instead of getting the large plates, we decided to try as much mezzastarters as possible. While some dishes like the dips plate and the grilled squid were mediocre, other dishes had interestingfactors that I liked. Cooked in coconut milk, the Moon mussels had just the right amount of creamy flavor that beautifullycomplemented the small pieces of merguez. The apricot sauce for the chicken bastilla was also amazing, and the feta fritterswith honey glaze were executed flawlessly. My favorite was the eggplant fatteh which had a delightful interplay between theyogurt, pita crisps, eggplants, and other spices. Hallawa cheesecake was also an excellent way to finish off our meal. Sprinklesof pistachio and grape molasses were unique additions that paired nicely with the chocolate cheesecake. Read more
Moona had been on our list for a while and we finally were able to pull the trigger - it did not disappoint! Moona has a wide... array of dishes available, we opted for many of the smaller ones, and went at it family style. While it would have been nice tohave these dishes spread out (rather than all at once), all of them were wonderful. We especially recommend the “dips” dish,which includes hummus, baba ghanoush, pickle beets, olives, etc. It was one of our favorites. The grapes leaves were alsoexcellent. In all, Moona was an excellent dining experience. Read more
I had a great time trying out a lot of the small plates at Moona! Would definitely recommend the Falafel and Lamb Burgers for... starters as they were quite tasty. The Dips Plate was good, but I would only recommend the hummus. The other two dips wereinteresting, but they didn’t stand out. I will say they provide a healthy amount of Pita with the dips so that was nice. Inaddition to these starters we got the Mashawee "Mixed Grill" entree. All of the meats and vegetables in this dish were expertlycooked and tasty. One thing I would maybe change is the amount of BBQ sauce for the steak tips. It was good, but could beoverpowering. I think if you’re going with a large group you could just get starters and be happy, but the Mixed Grill waseasy to split so definitely consider it. Read more
Food was a pretty big let down. Starters were solid and creative, everything tasted pretty good. The chicken tagine is... borderline bad. Extremely bland, watery, basic, not very authentic at all. Maybe that's the only bad dish but certainly notworth it. Cheesecake is great and service is good. Drinks are solid too. Read more
