BLOWN AWAY. Every single thing we ordered was the best version we’d ever had. Falafel plate was UNREAL, so crunchy outside & soft inside. Side salad was so fresh & delicious, chicken kabob plate was incredible, and the rice pudding… holy cow. Plus everyone in there was so friendly. Now on our can’t-miss list when we’re in Boston.

Absolutely delicious Shawarma wraps! My era boyfriend says that if he needs Shawarma in Boston, he would come here.

Ordered ahead for pick up, and food was ready on time. Delicious (lamb kabob wrap). Ordered a side addition falafel w/ hummus, and was surprised by the generous portion.

Ate at Black Seed with my entire family and had an amazing experience. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was amazing, friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Everything came out fresh and full of flavor. Highly recommend trying their Super Shawarma Wrap… it’s a must! We’ll definitely be back.
