Black Seed Cafe & Grill

I came in with a large group of people to dine in. We got our food super quick and we also had a buzzer to let us know when our food was ready to be picked up. I really liked my chicken shawarma wrap and the sauce at the table was not too spicy. I will definitely go there again to try out more wraps and plates.

My 100th review had to be for a special place! The best halal food in the area with massive portions. Food is authentic, seasoned well, and cooked to perfection. I was in town to visit my office and had their food EVERY night whether or not I already had dinner lol. Not ashamed to admit it! The owner ended up knowing me and my SO fairly well by the end of our visit and I really enjoyed seeing him each time, like a long lost relative haha.Can't say enough about how good the food is, how satisfying it is. Temp is piping hot, sauce is A+, meat is so tender with the char that apparently nobody can get just right, and you can tell it's all fresh. Veggies are fresh as well. Fries are good, rice is addicting. The hummus is so good here idk why, very garlicky and texture is good! Pita is a pass for me but SO liked it. I will always come back every time I'm back in Boston... possibly every day lol. Love these guys. Great service, cheerful folks who appreciate their customers. I've had similar style halal food hundreds of times all over the country, all over the world, but this place just always hits the spot.Yes it's a no frills establishment but at least it's clean. Sometimes the folks coming in are hit or miss, interesting mix of students, professionals, and just random stragglers. Staff does a great job managing the people in there.

Stopped in for a quick bite and was not disappointed. I had the chicken kabob wrap and it hit the spot. Highly recommend if you're looking for a spot for a quick bite

Nothing like some late night chicken shawarma. Food and service were both great. They charge $1 for those tiny garlic sauces but they do be worth it!

This review is beyond overdue...Black Seed is 100000% worth the trek downtown from Fenway! So many options and especially inclusive towards vegans/vegetarians. Everything is super filling and fresh! They have menu items geared toward every taste bud - from burgers to hot plates and wraps, everything is delicious. It's affordable to college students, has a great amount of seating, and the employees get your food out to you super fast no matter how crowded it may be. Easily some of the best food I've had since I've been here, and it's not a matter of if I'll come back - it's when. Can't recommend this place enough!

Elite eats, felt like I was in the Middle East nbs ......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Food was delicious! We tried Black seed based off a recommendation and glad we had it. Good seating available and service was great. Employees were really helpful and brought our order to us when it was ready. We went with the shawarma chicken and rice plate and a chicken kabob and rice plate. It comes with salad and garlic sauce for the chicken. The sauce was delicious, and the rice was so soft and fluffy. The chicken was very flavorful and delicious. Salad was great too and came with dressing. For the price it's a lot of food and we had leftovers which was convenient. Location is right next to Boston commons as well which makes easy to stop by!

Was in town with friends and family and we were hanging out at the commons. Saw Blackseed across the way and stopped in for lunch.So Disappointed, restaurant was not clean. Food was bland, not a lot of flavor and not very good. Sadly won't be back. Would not recommend.

If you ever feel dehydrated and. Exhausted from the gym, head over here and try their organic and freshly made orang juice, you will not gonna regret it.

Got a delicious shawarma wrap mm mm mmm it was tasty but I hate when I ask for a water cup and they give me a damn Dixie cup of lukewarm water
