Lovely coffee shop in Central Square. Make sure to grab a seat in their sunroom, it's really lovely there, especially when the weather's nice. Enjoyed drinking the Turkish coffee and eating an omelette. Will definitely be going back!
My new favorite cafe place for studying now! Ordered Moroccan mint tea and a coconut dessert. I just like the atmosphere inside. Everyone is friendly and the interior design is so interesting! Love the WiFi and people there who study or play chess :)))) Fun place!
Really love the decor of the place. Highly recommend both the Turkish and Arabic coffee. As for the food, their hummus is amazing. The rice in their rice plates leans a little too salty, but the protein options are all pretty solid. Service can drag a little though (especially if you're seated downstairs).
Very slow service. I waited for 20 minutes for a cup of coffee and the barista was moving at snail’s pace. But the drinks were so so so good!
Delicious Halal food. Arabic breakfast Fool, Falafel, Labnah & zaatar were awesome.
Really good and tasty vegan and vegetarian food. I loved fruit juices.
Yummy middleastern food...casual ambience ..desserts are fresh and authentic..specially the Namura...fingerlicking delicious 😋
$$ Andala Coffee House is an authentic Middle Eastern place to go to have a good time. I love the selection of coffees available that are strong, not watered down. While you are enjoying your conversation, I highly recommend ordering some of their sweets too.Overall, this is a good place with a cosmoploitan crowd to relax with and enjoy your time.
The hummus plate was amazing! Great coffee shop with fantastic atmosphere.
Really good food. Coffee is decent. Quite a lively and interesting place. Tables are close together so you’ll probably overhear some interesting conversations. Attentive staff. Atmosphere can be quite noisy at times. Good place to go on a date, or to study, or socialize with friends.
Really nice vibes and I was so appreciative that they were one of the only places open late at night in all of Boston
This is a very nice and unique place but it's almost a victim of its own success as typically you will wait a really long time to be served in my experience.
The pistachio cake very good
This place has ridiculous, dysfunctional service. Every single time you walk in, there’s either no hostess to seat you, or they’re too busy to seat you promptly, or you get seated and then wait for ages for anyone to acknowledge you or take your order. I just got up and left after being seated and then forgotten about while the wait staff attended to a queue of four people getting coffee drinks to go. The food is fine, but please hire and provide competent service.
Easily my favorite spot in Cambridge. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the food is great. I love the hummus
This has been my goto place in Boston/Cambridge since 2010 (13+ years ago). Unpretentious hidden gem where you can sit down, eat, do work, get gooood coffee and probably the best fresh orange juice you will ever get anywhere else. Try their "fool", "kefta belseneia" or warm "shakshuka." You will be pleasantly surprised by the quality and tasteful bites.
Omg very bad food service very slow + they put rice in shakshowka I was wondering where’s the chef from ? They are Latino chefs not for medial East that’s why there’s rice in my shakshowka I will never back
a warm, cozy interior and delicious food but the service was a bit disappointing ngl. it took a while for each meal to arrive. and i don’t think our server even said hello. :( it was confusing but worth it for the food.
I went here with a few friends and everyone was impressed by how cozy the place was, it gave at home vibes. The food was adorable and fit for the portion. The guy Michael was super sweet and helpful!! Update: I went back again today and the had three servers on but they literally came to check on use every 15+ mins. I had to get up several times to get napkins and water, two servers were on their phones. The food is great though but there service is hit or miss.
Nothing authentic about this place (speaking as someone who is intimately familiar with the cuisine). Hummus with beef dish tasted good, but was quite small for a main course, and again, very inauthentic. Knafeh was pretty disgusting: it was swimming in water which made it completely soggy. Basboosa was ok.
