★★★☆☆ When my family visited Boston, my dad was excited to try out this restaurant as we passed by the mosque. Located right behind ISBCC, this place is always full with Somalis. The food was good, but the place needs a bit more cleaning. The chai was a bit too sweet for us. Posted on August 24, 2015

NR Please don't come here , we ordered goat meat they have given rice with goat meat but there were only bones , how come any body can eat a solid bone . And the rice quality is so less its a kids meal . Please don't go this restaurant at all Posted on March 12, 2015

NR Nice food. Very big portion for a small stomach 😊 Posted on February 14, 2015

★★★★☆ For authentic Somali fare, you've got to come to Anshur. It is run by very good people Masha Allah and you will certainly feel like you've transported across continents due to the traditional atmosphere and spectacular food. The lamb shank with rice is probably their most popular item and you can substitute the rice for pasta for a change. Also don't forgot about their subs (particularly the steak and cheese), their incredibly cheap and delicious crispy french fries, and the requisite banana with each meal. One star off for lack of vegetarian options. Posted on October 10, 2014

★★★★★ somali/arab fare...do yourself a favor and have the lamb shank. excellent food with good customer service. not sure about the families eating here after jumu'ah, was mostly just men sitting in the restaurant. Posted on September 28, 2014

★★★★☆ We landed here after Jummah prayer and the place was packed. Staff was super nice. We ordered boneless lamb / steak / chicken legs. Everything was seasoned well but not spicy. The rice was awesome. The portions are big. The only thing was no airconditioning which on this super hot day in July made it harder for us to enjoy our food but still we would definitely go back when in Boston again. Posted on July 11, 2013

★★★★★ MashaAllah. This is the best Arabic food I have ever eaten in Massachusetts. Posted on November 8, 2012

★★★☆☆ This place falls between average and poor. Tried the burger. It was barely OK. There are tons of other Halal options in the area for lunch. Posted on November 20, 2010

★☆☆☆☆ I've ordered (to go) 4 lamb meat with bones & 2 boneless lamb meat ($12.99 each) Last Wednesday Next day, me, my brother, my sister, my friend & his wife & 2 kids had severe Diarrhea Never will step my foot in this restaurant again Posted on July 13, 2010

★★★☆☆ The place is "okay". The American food (burgers) are the frozen grocery brands, I would not recommend. The Arabic dishes such as Tagine are okay but not the best. Overall, it's not a bad experience, and I do recommend this place especially if you have no kids. Posted on June 25, 2010

★★★★★ This is the best restaurant I have been to in the Boston area!!! It might look like a hole in the wall, but the food is delicious and the service is great! While everything on the menu is great, I really recommend the goat curry. It is a Somalian delicacy and tastes delicious! Posted on September 1, 2009

★★★★★ I've eaten here numerous times and, Alhamdulillah, am always satisfied. They serve Middle Eastern and American foods, as well as breakfast. The ISBCC often gets food catered from here for events. My personal favorites are the chicken kabobs, the biryani (very flavorful), and the steak bomb sandwich (awesome!) Alhamdulillah, the brothers that work here are extremely friendly and work hard to make sure that you are satisfied. My only complaint is that everytime I've gone they seem to be out of the buffalo chicken fingers (with 80+ things on the menu, though, it's definitely not hard to find something else you'd like). Keep up the great work, Inshallah! Posted on April 19, 2009

★★★☆☆ This place right next to ISBCC Masjid is a good additon. Tried their Chicken Wrap and it was good!!! Posted on February 8, 2009
