Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Wellesley

We loved the Beehive!! Especially our waitress Andrea!!! She was awesome and made it a super special night.

The staff were so friendly! We were able to be seated 30 minutes before our reservation which got us out of the rain. They went above and beyond to include a birthday surprise for my spouse at the end of our meal. Oh, and the food was delicious! The grilled chicken fell right off the bone and the meat samboosa and hummus were great, too. Overall, great care was taken of us.

The food is excellent! I've been a long time customer. The service was off tonight. Customers that arrived 15 minutes after us were being served before us, breakdown in communication about what we ordered and some of the servers were hustling while others were chatting with each other & looking at their phones despite a busy dining room with others, including us, waiting quite awhile to have our plates cleared and water refilled.

We were really pleased with the food. We kept our order simple by taking them up on their pre-packaged "works" offering - $50/pp (2 min) which included several starters and assorted grilled kebabs over rice plus dessert. Their take on baba ganoush was excellent - I make the stuff myself, and I'm pretty pleased with mine...Theirs was better. In fact better than I've had from anywhere else. The humus was also excellent as were the grape leaves. The kibbe was exceptional both as to ratio of meat to grain and also texture and flavor. Fattoush salad, labne - everything on the table was exemplary. Honestly, I'm a tough grader and this stuff was far better than expected and worth a trip there all by itself. Then the grilled meats - the lamb, the chicken, the kofta (really interesting) all excellent as well. Some nice grilled veg as well. The rice was the only let-down, and frankly at this point with their overachievement everywhere else - who cares? Dessert included was baklava - a good example, but not a highlight for me. Bottom line for me is these folks know how to cook, seem to have some real tradition driving their recipes (as they are distinctive), and offered way more quality and quantity (did I mention quantity) than expected. My cocktail was also good, btw. I am mostly disappointed by suburban restaurants, but not so this time. This discerning diner will definitely return.

Everything was excellent and our waitress was very attentive. It was a special night as celebrating an anniversary. I chose this restaurant as my 91 yr old mum had never been here. She loved it as much as much as me and my husband! Lamb shank, moussaka and stuffed cabbage all delicious!
