★★★★★ All foods are halal instead of Hamburgers. Foods are delicious. Posted on March 28, 2016

NR I came here to eat on Sunday but found out that it opens Monday through Friday only Posted on October 26, 2014

★★★★★ Very friendly staff. I asked if all the meat was halal, and I think the only thing that isn't is the burgers. Will double check next time I go. Food was very tasty, I tried the chicken and rice. Soup was very good as well. Seating available downstairs. Some menu items are prepared fresh so you get a buzzer that buzzes when it's ready. Really good fries!! Will definitely return iA. Posted on August 18, 2014

★★★★★ Very tasty and fresh food, I also like their lentil soup...the people who work their were saying everything was Halal(please confirm this when you are there)... Posted on August 28, 2013

★★★★★ I believe that it has the best tasting Turkish food in the Boston area. I only wish that they had extended their operating hours a little bit. Posted on September 24, 2012

★★☆☆☆ Partial halal. Food is bland Posted on July 28, 2012

★★★☆☆ I've been there couple times already. Very busy place. Its in the heart of downtown boston. They have plenty of options to provide. They have delicius chicken kababs. They have adequate sitting area downstairs. This place have halal items except few. Operation hours not friendly at all, closes at 4 pm & open weekdays only. No parking space around.

NR I've been dining here regularly for about 5 months now. And just found out, the place is only *PARTIALLY HALAL*. I don't know about others, but to me that's a deal breaker - if it's not 100% halal, it's not halal. Here's a direct quote from the establishment: "In our menu, everything that we prepare is Zabihah Halal except the followings: Turkey, roastbeef, corned beef, pastrami, hamburger and meatball. These are the Deli items consumed by non-muslims anyway. There is no pork in our establishment. Among the cheese, our vendor doesn't tell us whether it is kosher or not. For this reason, we cannot guarantee the cheese either. However our mozarella cheese is 100% vegetable based as we are told by Sorrento." Posted on November 20, 2010

★★★★★ This is a great place to have a halal lunch downtown, and their meze and doner are really stunning. They offer a wide range of drinks, and their musallah is very clean. Inshallah i can visit again soon. Posted on May 18, 2010

★★★★☆ This place is above average. The Kofta Kabab is good! The only thing bad about Boston Kebab House are the hours of operation. This place is closed on the weekends and only open a little past lunch each day. Not very user friendly hours if you ask me. Since I'm in Boston once a month, I will attempt to go back and try other dishes. Posted on November 13, 2009

★★★★★ The food was great, the decor was excellent, and the service was very good (except that the cashier didn't know what Gözleme was when I asked her). Posted on October 8, 2009

★★★★★ AMAZING Place, went there for a lunch with a large group (10) Bill came out to under $100 and there was lots of leftovers. Fantastic Food MUST DO FOR ANYONE IN BOSTON Posted on August 12, 2009

★★★☆☆ Food here is excellent but they are only open Mon to Fri till 4pm. They used to open on Saturdays (two years ago) but not anymore. I don't work in downtown so I NEVER get to eat here anymore. Posted on July 9, 2009

★★★★☆ Great place to eat halal food. Beef & Chicken dishes equally good Posted on October 9, 2007

★★★★★ WE LOVED IT!!! Clean, Great food, Cheap prices! Great for client meetings and very trendy! Posted on July 28, 2007

★★★★★ This is a great restaurant with lots of variety and very reasonable prices. Its right in the middle of the Financial District. The best part about the restaurant is that they have a small prayer area. When I asked about it, the owner was very helpful in showing me where it is and also said I was welcome to use the restrooms for making wudu. Very clean restrooms also. Posted on May 3, 2007

NR Boston Kebab House is a great addition to the downtown dining scene. Very authentic Turkish food is available and the staff is very nice. There is a Turkish side and a non-Turkish side. The halal options are, generally speaking, on the Turkish side. It is slightly cheaper than Sultan's kitchen and the food is similar and of course, best of all, halal meat is also available. However, folks, the meat is not always zabihah. The beef/lamb is usually zabihah. But you have to ask. And zabihah chicken is cooked to order only at your request. Therefore you must ask every time what the halal options of the day are, or you don't know what you are getting. Hint--if you don't feel like a Turkish meal, you can also ask for halal chicken on your greek salad or other salad. Posted on January 26, 2007

★★★★☆ Overall good Turkish food. They have a nice dining hall downstairs. These guys have an American Deli that serves non-halal meat at the location; but we were verbally assured by the manager (who seemed very confident in saying what he had to say) that all Turkish dishes are certified halal. Also, while placing the order waitress was good and seemed honest about telling us what is halal and what is not! Posted on December 25, 2006

★★★★☆ The food was excellent and affordable. Large place, plenty of room. The only thing that is not halal is their chicken soup. The service was not that great, but we were stuck with a bad waitress. Other than that, this place was great. Posted on December 9, 2006

★★★★★ Great place to eat lunch or dinner. Staff, service, price, cleanliness, and food excellent. I usually meet up with friends for lunch in the downtown crossing area and McDonalds # 10(Fish fillet) was the usual menu but not any more. This place is only minutes from Downtown crossing and Fanueil Hall(depending on your walking speed :O)) Only the kabob menu is halal and if you want chicken, make sure the staff understands your halal request. Support our halal restaurants! (I was not paid to say that :O) ) Posted on November 14, 2006

★★★★★ Just had lunch at this place after hearing about it from someone else. It is a surprise to find a halal restaurant in the financial district of Boston. The look, the staff and the Authentic Turkish menu is enough to keep you coming back for more. Just got a shish kabob salad and cup of soup for $5.95. Quality is very good. I'll be going back to this place. Posted on November 6, 2006

★★★★☆ Perfect place for lunch. Very clean also very busy around noon time. The lunch special is the best deal. Sit in or take out. I emailed the owner about the meat, and Al-Hamdulillah he replied back that it was Halal. Great place to go if you are treating co-workers. Posted on October 22, 2006

★★★★★ One of best Halal places to eat in Boston. Very clean family friendly establishment. They have a nice sitting area downstairs. Their Doner Kebobs are amazing. Portions are big and tasty. Make sure you mention you want Halal, as some times they run out of halal chicken. They also have a small prayer room, but you need to request the key. Posted on September 16, 2006

★★★★★ For an out of town person, this place was a bit confusing and difficult to get to, as it is on the crossing of four different streets, but the food was very good. The place is extremely clean, people are friendly and they have a halal menu. Their halal menu is limited so be careful and let them know. Their doner kabab was excellent, but their HUMUS is better. I think I would rate them as one of the best places that serve humus. Their Chicken kofta was good too. I would definitely go back and would recommend it also to others. Posted on September 6, 2006

★★★★★ VERY CLEAN PLACE. The Doner Kebab(gyro) is excellent. Also very good vegetarian plates. You should try if you're looking for halal, tasty mediterrenean cuisine. Posted on August 6, 2006

★★★★★ The kefta kebab was awesome and so was the doner kebab. The service was exceptional. Thank you Br Osman. Posted on June 19, 2006

★★★★★ I really enjoy eating at this restaurant. Owners and cooks are very warm and friendly. The variety is superb, too. Boston needed a nice/clean halal restaurant for a long time. They also have catering service, last week I ordered for 40 people at work. The food was on time with every necessary utensils. Everybody loved it!!! I strongly recommend this restaurant...

★★★★★ Boston Kebab House is a Turkish restaurant where you can feel at home. If you have never been to Turkey and want to have an idea about delicious Turkish food and great hospitality, go to Boston Kebab House. You will not regret it. Being a very-well managed take-out restaurant they value your time and money. But they go far beyond that by welcoming you with smiles and incredibly juicy kebabs. Even if you're not a meat-person they have vegetarian appetizer choices, which can be nutricious enough to replace a meal. If you want a place that you don't wanna waste time, money, and appetite, you are at the right spot. Believe me, you'll be friends with the people over there because you will keep showing up over and over again. Posted on June 3, 2006

★★★★★ This restaurant is wonderful,everything about it is the best,employess were friendly and the fodd was delicious especially the doner (gyro)was the best that I ever ate in boston.I will keep going to this restaurant because the food was delicious and the prices were low and everyone was frienly and kind.
