Worst gyro meat I’ve ever seen. It literally had the texture of a tortilla chip. We ordered two gyro amd rice plates and had to throw away all of the meat. It’s a shame because the rest of the food was ok, not great, but ok.

Our meal was delicious here! From the moment we walked in everything was freshly prepared even the flatbread! We got the thyme flatbread, and two chicken wraps and seriously we are so impressed with the quality and how flavorful and tasty it is! It’s the best Lebanese food I have had in Boston! To top it off everyone was so friendly and accommodating! Definitely will be coming back for more!

I was pretty disappointed after seeing the reviews and being excited to try this place. I think I had about 1-2oz of meat on my meal and the rice was somewhat stale. It was $17 for very little food. I was pretty surprised when I got home and saw how little the meal was.

Always very friendly service and great food. I used to come here sometimes but then my Lebanese Neighbors a few years ago told me about going there all the time (and their hours are hard to beat!), and now I come more often
Tastier and healthier late night options compared to fast food and a lot of other local places in the area. Definitely some of the best Hummus in Boston (fresh warm bread with it was also amazing). Extremely good round flatbread dishes. I have not had as much of the regular pizza but everyone says it’s good.

I was craving some manakish on Sunday and went to Ajeen. I had the cheese flatbread and it was so good. Would definitely come back.

I’ve been coming here pretty consistently over the last year. It’s really one of few options open for take out after midnight. That being said the wraps are downright insulting. I appreciate that they bread is freshly made but the way the kebabs are prepared are insulting and the portion is miniscule. I won’t deny the flavor is good but it’s barely got any meat inside. I gave 4 stars for the service because the Latino guys behind the counter are friendly and polite. But the patrons (not sure if they are family or what) are pretty rude and cold. They monopolize the restaurant and it feels like customers are intruding. I found a man’s cellphone and attempted to return it to the counter and some Lebanese guy snatched it out of my hand without even saying thanks. I guess it’s the employees of the hookah bar that act like the own the place. Another thing the atmosphere is truly bizarre. It’s silent. There’s no music no tv no one having a conservation. It’s just a very uncomfortable experience overall. I don’t plan on returning.

It’s a simple spot. More of a grab and go. But there is seating if you want to eat in, which is what we did. Very well-mannered gents up front. Quick service.
Now, about the food. O. M. G.

Went in there with relatively high expectations, because of the thoughtful reviews. I was not disappointed. 5-stars on the food.
Tried the beef and lamb gyro, the chicken shawarma platter, and the zaatar and cheese flatbread. For desserts, the baklava and the little round dough balls in syrup (forgot their name .)
Soooo goood!
The best baklava I’ve ever had. Less flaky, more sort of pastry-ish. Not sure how to describe it. Sweet, but not overwhelming. The chicken shawarma platter was a delight. Wow. The rice tasted buttery. Made to perfection. Not too dry. Not pasty. The chicken, perfectly seasoned and roasted. The whipped garlic — wow. Can probably eat it on its own. It’s that good. Wonderfully whipped, smooth, and creamy. So was the hummus. The bread — they make it themselves, which was so nice to see. I don’t know what to compare it to / what it’s supposed to be like. So, not sure how to review it. It’s sort of dry, but soft. Kind of like a cross between a wrap and a pita, but with no pocket.
My friend had the gyro wrap. He said it was really good, but a little bit on the dry side. “A solid 8.” What would make it better? More of the spread (and maybe some of the whipped garlic on the side) so that it’d be less dry.
Lastly, the dough balls and the bread were the least impressive to me, not to say they were bad, just not memorable, especially in comparison to the other items.
Bottom line tho: highly recommend. It’s a treat.

Wow, I had been wanting to come here for a while. We ordered a kebab platter. The person gave us a piece of paper for a plate, and a Styrofoam box to eat out of with plastic forks. I saw other people with real plates but we did not get any. This place is a joke. The rice was old, reheated, and the pita was not warmed up. They got angry at us when we asked if there was any plates available, Instead of apologizing for bad service they provided. It seemed so that it was our problem that they created. They also did not give a fork to my friend. Avoid this place. FOR $18 That is a joke.

I was fairly disappointed with my food at this place after hearing about it by word of mouth and seeing the reviews here. I made an online order and arrived a few minutes before the time on the order; the restaurant had not appeared to start on the order before I arrived. Of the three flatbread we ordered, only one was good (hence the second star): the thyme flatbread with black olives (upcharge) had good seasoning, and was memorable. The meat pie had a paucity of meat on it; the cheese flatbread ended up a little gummy for my taste. I grew up on Cedar’s Bakery flatbread in Houston, and the flatbread here unfortunately did not hold a candle to that restaurant.

The shawarma was terrible and the rice was crunchy. Really bad food for the price. Garlic and lemon and Azama are way better and just around the corner. It also took a long time to get my food even though the place was dead. Super disappointed to not have another shawarma option for late at night.
