Best Authentic Restaurants in Sherborn

We had a fabulous time. The decor is gorgeous. The food was outrageous. So delicious. The only problem was that it was a little hard to hear each other talk. But we got through it and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We'll be back.

We love the ambiance but got crowded quickly which is expected during holiday season. Two of us were dining and another friend dropped by but the restaurant could not accommodate him by adding another chair saying we had made reservations for only 2 people. That was a bummer! We were almost done dining too so not sure why we couldn't be given an additional space for a few minutes. Food was good, server was good too.

We loved the blend of small/shareable items and more substantial main courses. The baked clams and crispy cauliflower were fantastic first dishes. For the main dishes, the braised beef short ribs with Parmesan polenta— (outstanding) and the rigatoni bolognese (fantastic) were standouts. And we had to try the desserts— tirmamisu, pistachio ricotta and limoncello mascarpone were outstanding. Great service and the remodeled restaurant is comfortable and vibrant. My only feedback is the cocktails— while quite tasty— were pretty small. Overall, this is a great addition to the metrowest area.

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.

Awesome service and food! We enjoyed our time. Will go back.
