Best WLM Reviews
Service was lackluster, not very attentive, server had a face of not wanting to be bothered or wanting be there.
Place was unique, very packed, but had political opinions written on the walls! Food was 2 out 5 stars, truly nothing to rave about. I order steak kabob, asked for well done and got medium rare. Will not return nor recommend this place to my friends.
Big portions, great flavor, fresh food! The food here is absolutely incredible! I got the huevos rancheros with extra steak and my brother got the steak and eggs. The food is enjoyable at every bite with ingredients that are fresh and make the appetite more than satisfied! The service is top tier. The servers are attentive and frequently checking in on you. They ensure all your needs are met for the perfect experience! This is actually a restaurant run by a family, and they work hard at making your experience a phenomenal one! The time from ordering to getting your food is sensible. The atmosphere is great! Very comfortable with fun art to look at on the wall. You might find yourself noticing a lot of signatures on the wall! It’s a great place from brunch or lunch! This is definitely a must try in Boston! Just remember, it is cash only for payments, so come prepared! They have a special hot sauce you’ll be interested in trying! It is palatable to the majority and packed with great flavor! All in all, a top rated experience, I invite you to pursue a visit in dining here!
Phenomenal diner in the Central Square area of Cambridge. Local, family owned, and serves unique dishes such as Baklava Pancakes. Came here for brunch and was not disappointed. I had heard a lot of good things about Brookline Lunch and was glad to have the rumors confirmed!
Every dish we tried was amazing. The iconic baklava pancakes had this soft fluffy texture, saturated in syrup and flavor. The zaatar egg bowl had a good mix of soft potatoes and fresh vegetables with two poached eggs. We were very pleasantly surprised by the chicken curry. Efficient and kind people running the place.
Tip: Dont forget to bring your own water because you have to buy a plastic bottle here if you want to drink water.
PROS
Za'atar egg bowl was good
Interesting and entertaining decor
CONS
Baklava pancake was WAY too sweet
Only way to get water was to buy a bottle
Coffee was average
Long wait outside on a rainy, chilly, noisy street
Cramped booth seating, other tables too close together.
Far too loud. I have no hearing problems but I couldn't hear what the person sitting across the table from me was saying
Visiting from Montreal and found this family run restaurant. Fun ambiance, good service, reasonable prices.
The food was excellent
We shared the baklava pancakes, Amazing
And the zataar egg bowl - fresh, flavourful. Super happy with this find. Strongly recommend
Quick order food at a great price. The line outside is always a good sign! Staff keeps people moving the best they can. Brick walls, old school photo nostalgia themed interior that felt like a portal to 50 years ago. Complete with hand written notes from previous customers adorning every nook and cranny.
☝️Go all in on the pancakes. ????
The wait is long but so worth it, would definitely wait again!
We got the shakshuka, zatar bowl, baklava pancakes and the beef curry. They were all great and the portions were a great size.
Do not forget to ask for their homemade hot sauce. It really added to all the dishes. We tried to buy the sauce but alas they only sell it during Christmas for gifting. I will be gifting some of the sauce to myself this year.
Since it is super busy, please be patient. The food will not disappoint.
Cash only.
