"This is an outstanding lunch spot, but be warned: the portions are quite large—so much so that I can easily skip eating for the rest of the day! Seriously though, it’s a fantastic place in Kendall Square that often has a line out the door during the weekday lunch rush. I’m a huge fan of the spicy chicken shawarma rice plate, which comes with delicious rice pilaf. The hummus here is incredibly authentic, and I usually pair it with either the tabbouleh or the fattoush. I do wish the fattoush had a bit more crunch, but it’s still excellent. The highlight of this restaurant, though, has to be the sauces. I can never pick just one; I end up going for the tahini, the special house pink spicy sauce, and their garlic sauce, which I love to drizzle on everything. It’s a great spot for quick Middle Eastern cuisine! For more recommendations, follow me on Instagram @sophiaeaaats!"
