Kushari and Grill

We got take out and the kushari is so good!! The restaurant makes their food at a good pace. We ordered a lot of stuff so there was one mistake, but the owner handled it well and we got a refund!First time I had Egyptian food and really like it!

So glad we found a late night shawarma spot nearby! Prices are reasonable and they're open until 2AM on the weekends. We got the falafel plate and the chicken shawarma plate. Portions are generous and the plates included hummus, pita, salad, rice, tahini, and garlic sauce (for the shawarma)! The falafel was crispy and perfectly seasoned, some of the better falafel I've had. The chicken was juicy and flavorful and paired well with the garlic sauce. This food definitely hit the spot and we'll be back to try more things on the menu!

I think they do a really good job with their Egyption cuisine. One of the things I love the most about this place is the fact that they make really good falafel. The falafel's or not like hard frozen rounds that have no flavor and are hard to bite. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and just bursting with so much flavor and they sit on the bed of pickles that complement the falafels really well. I also highly recommend the chicken Shawarma because it has so much flavor and the best way to maximize on the taste is to have it in the wrap. The beef kebabs have a nice smoky flavor and the rice is also great. It's a combination that makes you feel good after you eat. I also really love their garlic sauce. It's fantastic and they never skip out on the portions.

We recently discovered Kushari and Grill closer to Tufts University. We ordered the Hawashi and Mixed Grill. Both items were delicious and provided a generous portion for a very fair price relative to the broader Boston/Cambridge area. I'd definitely return and try out their menu again. I also appreciated the offering of a white/garlic sauce in addition to tahini. For some reason, most Boston area middle eastern restaurants only typically offer Tahini if anything!Note: The entire menu is halal according to the signs posted.

Food is excellent, people are friendly, I've never had a meal take too long despite eating here a dozen times, roughly (for the person earlier who ate in, they do a lot of online biz, so they might have been slammed with orders, also, who cares) The only criticism I'd have, is sometimes the nicely charred kebab meat will poke through a wrap, making a bit of a mess (but again - who cares)Keep up the good work!

Personally, from an outside background, these arent my preferred food of choice. my friend who is from Egypt really enjoys this food and says its very authentic. I personally got the grape leaves and kafta kabob plate. the food was alright, i just had to take off a star because they took so long to make my food, i think i waited like 20min just sitting.1) grape leaves: served cold, is filled with rice, with a tangy taste2) kafta kabob plate: juicy kabob, comes with a bed of rice, and some veggies/salad that i did not care for. the hummus was good, and it came with pita bread. overall-- i cant decide if i want to come back.. i wont leave a bad star review because i want to support small businesses, but this was the best i could do..

Closed Mondays. The first time I came here, it was the best falafel sandwich I've ever had in the Boston area. Their food isn't always consistent, but the falafel balls have fresh, whole coriander seeds in the recipe and are fried to order. At $9 a large plate, their vegan Kushari entrees are priced to sell and is my favorite. The ground lamb/beef blend kofta skewers were flavorful.

Yum yum yummy!!! They have the best hummus and this funky calzone with just meat and the dough is different. A must try. I am drilling just thinking this tasty treat! A must visit.

Late night offerings! I stopped by around 1:30 am and the place was empty but my meal was freshly made!The + Loved the chicken shwarma roll up. The chicken was tender and well seasoned and everything fit so perfectly. It was fantasticThe -I didn't like the hummus side I ordered at all. It was obviously premade and didn't taste that fresh. It was pretty boring and almost reminded me of the texture of refried beans from a can at that point. Big disappointment with the hummus.Overall still a 4 in my book due to their late hours, nice and attentive staff, and for at least making mostly fresh food (roll up).

Genuinely one of the best meals I've had. Major. We got the Kushari, Hawawshi, and veggie moussaka.
