Sarma Restaurant

Critic Bill Addison recommends burrata with labne, cacik (garlicky herbed yogurt ), quail kebab , broccoli and sfela cheese , Sultan's Delight, lamb shawarma , Turkish-style profiteroles Read more

Lamb biscuits , tuna tartare , and brussels sprouts "bravas " were amazing. Doughnuts for dessert come with your choice of SO many toppings - get the halva caramel and you won't regret it.

The Oleana empire has expanded to Somerville's Winter Hill in the form of Sarma, which is inspired by Turkish meyhane — restaurants serving meze , or small, shareable plates that highlight the seasons.

The menu apparently changes frequently but absolutely everything I had was top notch: Scallops w/ flax brittle, the Brussels sprouts , crab/lentils, lamb crepe , corn/taramasalata were all on fire!

Great food for sharing plates with friends. Also good Gluten Free options . I have Celiac Disease and I was provided a Gluten Free menu . I got the Potato Falafel and Steak Tartare

Cassie Piuma maps out an exhilarating survey of the herbaceous, sun-baked flavors of the Middle East. Her recipes meld with the local seasons, assisted by produce from the farm of co-owner Ana Sortun . Read more

Incredible and innovative wine menu . You can walk in and sit at the bar but it fills up pretty quickly. Get anything on the dim sum style mezze plates .

Try Circassian Quail , BBQ Duck , Beef Shish & Kofte Sliders . Add Parsnip Fritters & Za'tar bread , and Sumac Lemonade for drink. Dessert ? Go for Loukamades with Pineapple Baklava or Muhayabiyah topping.

Awesome food! Anything you try is great. The lamb burgers ....The octopus ...everything. They also have specials that are amazing. Drinks are awesome too! The melonius and the woodsman's bribe are bomb

Kibbeh here incorporates red lentils and crab , for wonderfully light patties topped with a green papaya salad and a green Israeli hot sauce called zhoug. And try the dim sum-style passed dishes.

Get the fried chicken special , crab kibbeh with lentil , 7 layer humus , lahm bajeen, moroccan fried shrimp , pumpkin fritters ! Portion wise, they're small plates (tapas ) so order approx 3 per person

Ah god this place is amazing the seven later hummus is so delicious and they had this dish feta cheese with eggplants it's a MUST!! Almost everything on the menu is good. It's expensive though

This good is to die for, the combinations are creative and delicious. The squid was nice but my favorite dish is the venison and be sure to try the specials too!

The burger sits on top of a seriously delicious brioche bun . It's a build-your-own situation, so you add toppings as you go, like a fried egg for a bit extra. Read more

Being here is sort of like being in a middle eastern bazar. Although it's dimly lit the ambience is totally buzzing. Try the yummy day's special that the staff brings out in between courses.!

Good restaurant for people with high expectations! — pea falafel , crab & red lentil kibbeh , loukamades (with apricot granita ) and lamb kebab (nice mix of veggies & sauce, we expected a tender kebab ).

I loved everything we had! The small plates are the perfect way to try all if the layers of flavor Sarma has to offer. The sesame fried chicken made my eyes water with delight. The pork belly ... Uhhhh

Best of Boston 2016: Middle Eastern/Mediterranean Restaurant 🇹🇷 :: Pork schnitzel w/ mustard-and-caper brown butter , escarole & rosemary za’atar; & quail shish kebabs w/ walnut sauce & chanterelles .

The food is truly excellent, an explosion of flavor in every dish. The octopus is perfectly cooked.and the combinations eccentrically unique: I'm looking at you Crispy Tuna Grapeleaves.

Go in a group and order one of everything on the menu to share. It's all amazing. I especially loved the brussels sprouts and broccoli

There are so many amazing vegetarian options here so go with the flow, but for drinks, make sure to get something with bitters in it - their specialty!

Island Creek Oyster Bar alum Vik Hegde is in charge of Ana Sortun and Cassie Pium's first full cocktail program. Where else can you get drinks made with sumac, aleppo, za'atar, and mastic?

Everything is good here. Especially the Brussels sprouts , honeynut pancakes , delicata squash , salmon , and desserts !

Delicious mezza. They'll come by your table dim sum style with suggested plates. Say yes to everything.

Interesting drinks, skilled bartenders , and nightly specials tapas style . Favs: Moroccan Fried Shrimp , Spicy Peppers , & Lamb Kofte Sliders .

One of the best restaurants in the area, if not the best! Everything I tried was beyond amazing!

Love this place! Don't miss their 7-Layer Hummus as well as other hearty Mezes . A more casual version of Oleana , and it's just as good as Ana Sortun 's other establishments! 😁

The cocktails are awesome! Food is so good and well crafted flavors. Definitely can’t wait to return.

Everything is delicious. You can't go wrong. They had great Greek wine and lamb sliders . Don't forget to try the chefs dish of the night!

Concept and decoration perfect ! My favorite in town , try Squash Blossom and the steak tartar ... to die for. chef Piuma is a genius!

This was honestly one of the best meals I've ever had. I haven't stopped talking about this place since we left. I was really impressed. Every plate tasted like it was artfully cooked. You should go

Awesome awesome awesome! Love this place because it's like going to Oleana except you get to try a bunch of amazing small plates ! Can't wait to go back :-)

Though not devoid of the gamey, Mediterranean flavor that so many associate with lamb , the Kofti sliders were not overwhelming with the cumin and coriander that turns some off from ovine patties. Read more

Our table of 4 got ~10-12 items. Order a few things off the menu , but save space for the specials, which aren't on the menu and are passed by the servers, dim sum style .

This place is just beyond delicious. Make sure you under order so as to take advantage of the many mouth watering dishes the waiters will cycle by your table.

Amazing, save some room for the specials. Lamb burgers are great!

Good cocktails , especially the aperitifs. Venison wrapped dates were a nice twist and multilayer dips with their bread was really nice

Everything is amazing here. You cannot go wrong. Sit at the bar , Patrick and Vik are the best!

Everything here is incredible.. the best MENA cuisine I've ever had.. the amouhamara is the tastiest thing I've ever had

Good food and a fun concept. The prices seem a little high but it's a great place to experiment with new foods!

Wait for the daily specials , they are fantastic! The shortrib was excellent as well !

Broccoli tabouleh ; lamb sabzi; hummus . Get the daily specials

Zagat says, "Crab and red lentil kibbeh ($12) with coconut-curry and green papaya gets a pleasant perk from zhoug, a spicy hot Yemeni chile sauce ."

fall-off-the-bone lamb ribs , pumpkin fritters were delicious & not a deep-fried clump one'd think of "fritters ". good music selections too.

Had a fantastic time at the bar ! Great drinks, amazing food, fun bartenders . Better experience than at a table, even.

Go with friends and try half the menu. The brussels sprouts , octopus , jerky and seven layer hummus were all excellent.

Food @Sarma is inventive, surprising and completely delicious. Prepare for a taste sensation!

The pumpkin fritters - like nothing else! Beautiful food in a modern yet somehow traditional setting.

Everything. Seriously, everything. Food, drinks, service. Go, now!

The Persian Beef , the Lamb Slider , and the Borek were incredibly delicious, among others!
