Chickpea Fritter Sandwich
Our very first sandwich—established in 2008—has become a Boston classic, often landing on lists alongside lobster rolls and clam chowder. It’s a reflection of everything we care about: simple ingredients, bold flavors, and food made with love. We start with our own pita bread, baked fresh at our Commissary kitchen. Inside, you’ll find silky hummus made from organic chickpeas grown in Connecticut, crispy falafel balls that are soft on the inside and packed with toasted spices and fresh herbs, a cucumber-tomato salad we chop fresh each morning, bright pickled veggies for a tangy crunch, and a drizzle of tahini sauce to tie it all together. It’s the sandwich that started it all—and still one of our favorites.

Chickpea Fritter Platter
Our original Chickpea Fritter Sandwich—est. 2008—is a Boston classic. Crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside falafel made with toasted spices and fresh herbs, silky organic hummus, cucumber-tomato salad, bright pickled veggies, and a drizzle of tahini, all served with two fresh side salads (chickpea–red pepper–eggplant–farro with lemon and dill), plus warm pita bread. A cult favorite that helped put us on the map.

Mediterranean Bowl
Meet the Mediterranean Bowl - (Version 2 thanks to feedback from all of you!) a rainbow ?? of spreads, salads, falafel, and sauces, with a variety of vegetables and tons of protein in every order. We've been inspired by Middle Eastern recipes using Western Mass ingredients. We start with a layer of our silky hummus so you get a little bit in every bite. Then we add two beautiful salads: a hearty Farro Lemon Dill and a Chickpea Eggplant Pepper salad made with organic chickpeas from Connecticut. For some light brightness we add a Cucumber Tomato Salad (use the lemon wedge to squeeze a little fresh juice on top) and bright magenta Pickled Cabbage. Of course we can't skip our Falafel balls, fried to order, crispy/craggy on the outside, and bright green inside from fresh cilantro and parsley we fold into the batter. Then drizzle everything with a beautiful herby green tahini.

"very good. the soloro/sorrel drink was absolutely delicious. the one downside is that it's such a tiny serving. id be surprised if it was even 7 or 8 oz. the food was spectacular. just the right amount of spice."
"I ordered the Fufu & Soup (peanut butter soup and chicken) and the soup was very flavorful, but I got two small pieces of chicken that had very little meat. It didn't feel worth the price, especially given I've paid the same price for stews that came with 2-3 chicken legs."

Definitely will be ordering from here again! "

"Highly recommend. I eat there very often, and it's definitely one of my favorite chicken spots in boston! (Try the "all dark"). Their Jalapeño poppers and peri fries are awesome as well. I have a high spice tolerance and can say their hot/extra hot satisfies my cravings for a spicy meal."
"I finally got to taste food that reminds me of home. It brought back memories, with flavors similar to Nandos South Africa. The chicken is tender and clearly good quality, you can tell from the taste. The lemon & herb and peri-peri flavors are some of my favorites, and they were done perfectly here. So glad to have found this in the U.S., and even happier that it’s halal."
