Moona

Everything we ordered was great, including the cocktails. We will absolutely be returning specifically for the Feta Fritters. They were practically a dessert, and not overwhelmingly feta-flavored (which is a good thing.) Carrot dish with goat cheese was also a highlight.

Service 4/5Food: quality 4/5, quantity 3/5Ambiance: 4/5The dining experience in general was so-so. I had very high expectation on the food after seeing so many great pictures. I'd say that the food presentation is great, they are all well-plated with fine plates and bowls, but one of the reasons for me to leave 3 stars is the quantity. I understand that fine dining usually is not mean to feed you to overly full, but the quantity still surprised me. The eggplant fatteh's plate is as large as my palm. The flavor tho, was great, which I think is a solid 4/5. Same problem with other food such as the steak tips-- medium rare, good flavor with tender and juicy meat, but with a small plate.The grilled whole fish was the only one I feel justifies the price. It was very well seasoned with cumin and other seasonings, and presented well.The service is 4/5. I didn't give full score is because they weee active ordering my food, but didn't really check back often. I see servants walk around to check people, but they didn't really ask us if need more food/dessert menu.Not trying to sound mean, but I think I am leaning to not try it again just because of the quantity. There are other similar looking Mediterranean places in Cambridge, and if they can't surprise me, I might come back when next time craving for eggplant dips.

Unfortunately, I have to give this place a bad rating. I ordered the dips plate and was quite excited to try this place out. I took it to-go.When I got back to my place, I found that the pita bread was moldy. I went back and they said that another person before me had moldy bread and that they would refund me. However, I think they should quality check their food before serving it... especially when they let this happen twice or maybe more. The restaurant is quite dimly lit too so the mold might be harder to catch. I probably will not come back here, especially not dine here again. If you do choose to dine here, I would recommend triple checking your food for mold as it doesn't seem like they will do it.

The ambiance was good, a little loud but good otherwise. Our server was really kind and attentive. I ordered the dips plate and the mushroom farro. The dips plate had a delicious baba ghanoush, tzatziki, hummus, olives, pickles and pickled beets. The baba ghanoush was delicious. The mushroom farro was hearty. The only downside was it wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped. It was just okay.

This is one of my favorite places in the Boston/Cambridge area! The food is delicious and the price point is very affordable compared to lots of other places nearby. We've been here multiple times and the service and food are always consistent. There's limited seating inside but it's normally not too hard to get a reservation the week of. What we ordered:- Eggplant Fatteh: This is a must try! The pairing of the eggplant with the yogurt/tahini sauce is addicting and the crispy pita chips on top are scrumptious. We get this every time we come. - Palestinian Msakhan Duck Rolls: The seasoning on the outside of these was so good, though we wish that the wrapper could be slightly thinner. - Chicken Tagine: This comes out steaming hot and every bite is a nice warm bite. Loved the sweet potatoes in this. - Grilled Whole Fish: Cooked to perfection. This is a must try for seafood lovers.

I took my dad to Moona while he was in town and do not regret it! The food was all excellent quality with interesting flavors. It's a great place to go with a big group so that you can try many of the small plates they have. My favorite dish was the Eggplant Fattah which had the most delicious sauce and was cooked extraordinarily well.It is quite small and cramped inside, and we were there late (8:30) on a Sunday night and it was still packed. I would recommend making a reservation if you go! Our waiter was super friendly and funny, and provided great service all night. I couldn't believe how attentive they were at filling waters as well - the second I took a sip the glass was refilled!

So happy we squeezed into this charming spot for a last minute reservation late on a Friday night! I've spent lots of time in Inman square, but somehow missed out on Moona until now. The first thing you'll notice about this place is it's size - the restaurant is tiny with a handful of tables and a bar taking up about a quarter of the space. There's not much room to wait for your table, so during Winter in Boston when no one wants to stand outside, that means the entrance is pretty congested and everyone waiting is pushing up on the tables and the bar. As you can guess, with so little space and such a good reputation, a reservation is key. That's pretty much the only downside I can come up with for this place. Now let's get to the good stuff. At Moona, you'll come for the sharable Mediterranean small plates and stick around for the complex cocktails and cozy, Cambridge vibes. We kicked things off with the Painless Twist and Korkom and Carrot cocktails, which were both home runs - my husband has a soft spot for painkillers, and the Painless Twist is the more sophisticated, refined version of his dreams. I was also a big fan of the Sauvignon Blanc they offer by the glass. The menu has a handful of interesting entrees, but for our first visit, we opted for all small plates so we could sample as much as possible. I highly recommend the Tuna Tartare, Scallops with bbq duck, and Date Molasses Steak Tips. I also have to give a special shoutout to the Spanish Octopus--I get some guilt every time I order Octopus thanks to the Netflix doc, so if I'm going to eat it, it needs to be worth it, and Moona's take sure is. There are countless other items on the menu I wanted to try, so I'll be back before too long. Perfect spot for a date night or a small group din!

Came here on a Friday night with a reservation and we were seated quite quickly. We got a table next to the door which was unfortunate given how cold it was outside, but unfortunately wasn't our choice as the place was packed. The menu had a good variety of foods and drinks - I appreciated how consolidated it all was on one page. We shared 6 dishes for the two of us and left quite full along with dessert - things came out pretty quickly as well which was nice, but not too fast at the same time so the pacing was good. Their drinks were nice as well - I would be willing to try more on their menu if I ever came back. The food was all really yummy - good portions, nice flavor, and just overall a good meal. A bit pricy, but I think for a nice night out, things were overall reasonable. Service was also pretty solid throughout the night, although it took a while for them to come around for the check. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and would be happy to come back in the future. I'd recommend a reservation if possible though given how busy things were and how bar seats were super sparse!

I didn't get the chance to take pictures of my food, but I had a great experience at Moona! My only complaint was that I was seated by the door, so it was pretty cold, but that's not their fault. The service was top notch and my water glass was always full!In terms of food, we ordered the Brussels, Scallops, Shish Tawouk, and Date Molasses Steak Tips for mezza and the Chicken Tagine to share for the main. I really enjoyed each of the appetizers, especially the Date Molasses Steak Tips, which were cooked perfectly. I wasn't quite as impressed by the Chicken Tagine, but that might have more so been because I wasn't especially interested in the dish, not because it wasn't cooked nicely. I would come back again to try some more dishes!

Decided to try Moona for a special occasion and it didn't disappoint! It's a small restaurant, so things can get a bit crowded and I definitely recommend reservations. Makes for a great date night, but I wouldn't come with friends given the crowding and the small plates.First, the good: the lamb sliders were solid, and we had slightly mixed feelings on the scallops/duck--I really enjoyed the corn cream, but my partner found it too sweet. The scallops do seem to be a slightly odd addition to the delicious combo of duck/leek/corn, and I didn't actually taste the harissa. Then, the amazing: The feta fritters absolutely exceeded expectations. It's like the more upscale cousin of mac and cheese balls. The sweet and slightly crisp exterior gives way to such creamy, rich cheese, it's an absolute delight. Then the eggplant fatteh just knocked it out of the park! The temperature and texture contrast between the warm eggplant, the cool yogurt, and the crisps is just divine. It's spiced to perfection and I cannot recommend it more.
