Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Brookline

A Lovely, Comfortable little place with very kind service. Shula (I believe) and the team there were all kind and helpful. The Food was tasty and came very quickly. We had The Eggplant dip with Pita, the meat samboosas and a Lamb shank over Rice with a tiny side salad. In hindsight I think we would have liked a bigger greener salad to start and more grilled or roasted veggies in the Main Dish but that's us. My husband enjoyed the hot sauce they brought him on the side! we sat in the Traditional area on sweet little floor pillow banquets with a low table set up infront of us. Different and fun. The Mint tea and the House Favorite Cardamom tea were both lovely too!! No Alcohol here which is fine with us but might surprise some if not familiar with the restaurant/menu. A bit bright in the lighting dept but again... that is just our issue we like a dimmer more cozy esthetic. Go and give them a try!

We were early for our reservation and offered to sit at the bar until our table was ready. They forgot about us and ended up seating us at the same empty table that was empty when we arrived. Food was good, music and ambiance were lovely.

This was out 1st time eating here, it didn’t disappoint. Everything was delicious!!

We love coming to Helmand and bringing out-of-town friends. It never fails to amaze!

Always a great meal with awesome service. Love this restaurant!
