As an Armenian born in Iran, kebabs are a huge part of life. Although the rice and salad were good, the beef was super dry and chewy, which indicates that ir was likely reheated and not freshly made.

Independent local import store with a wide and ever-changing selection of foods from the broader Mediterranean and Middle East (and some farther east). Very good fresh made hummus, baba ghanoush, and other spreads. Also a good selection of imported candies, chocolates, spices, drinks, and so forth.
Dining in is more of a casual cafeteria affair. Good stop for a snack of some savory pastries, or a simple kebab sort of thing, but probably a better option for catering than a sit-down meal inside.

My go-to for Mediterranean!
We love the chicken kabob plate, The gyro plate is also wonderful and you can’t forget to grab and go grape leaves hummus and tzatziki! The owners are incredibly nice and very thankful for your business. Do stop in if you’re in the Natick area.

Outstanding Greek salad. Olives were whole, not sliced from a can. Got a big block of yummy feta. It’s asked for half chicken kebab and half shawarma because I couldn’t decide. They were both great. Wish I lived closer, this place would be on my weekly takeout list.

Every time I get a meal I can tell that it was put together with immense care. High quality and personal care from the owner who you can speak with every time. They also have Turkish coffee and tables up front to relax. And of course baklava to-go!

Really good place for ethnic Mediterranean food choices. Very clean and neatly organized shop. They have little dine in area within the shop as well. Definitely recommended place

Cilicia has become a regular stop for visits to Massachusetts. Though supermarkets in general have expanded their geographic reach, Cilicia is a trove of fascinating things to choose from that you won’t find anywhere else nearby.
The one item I have to mention specifically is the small white bucket of feta cheese. It’s delightful, and is the one must have item on my list.
Aside from feta, this is a wonderful place for impulse purchases – on our most recent visit, we tried a package of cranberry-oat cookies that we will be looking for in the future.
Though you may not be able to read the labels on many of the things you’ll find here, shopping is a lot of fun, and very rewarding.
Downtown Natick has always been a spot for unique shopping opportunities, going back to the days of Coleman Sporting Goods and Tickle Tee Shirts. Cilicia currently holds the title of ‘worth the drive’ for this town.

Great selection of Eastern European food and some ready to eat options! Beef shawarma was fresh and tasted pretty good! So many choices for baklava and all seem very freshly made. Store has some Russian products as well and Russian is spoken here

What a find for an amazing fresh and hot Mediterranean meal!! Everything tastes so good and Cilicia is right next to the Natick Common ! I’ve eaten there a bunch and take food for lunches every week! I have fallen in love with his salads, grape leaves ,baba ghanoush,tzatziki, chicken and hot sandwiches and my gluten free daughter loves his falafel, rice pudding, hummus and grape leaves. There’s also a whole market of neat imported food and fresh baklava!! I definitely recommend going there!!
