Tremendously delicious Mediterranean cuisine. This gem is tucked away in the shadow of the giant Christmas Tree Shoppe plaza. I couldnt tell you the number of times I drove past it unknowingly. So much shawarma I could have had... I had the shawarma platter with rice. Perfect flavor, very filling, very authentic. If I could do it again, I would have definitely gotten the wrap instead. This meat screams to be accompanied with pita and I blew thru the pita serving that came with the platter (so sad). I was planning on trying their appetizers and desserts, but I just couldnt bare anymore food. Oh well, have to go back! On the negative side, my wife got the thanksgiving-esque sandwich (turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce). It was mediocre. All the ingredients felt like they were bought down the street at the Stop&Shop deli. Its not what theyre known for, but then, dont put it on the menu if youre not going to at least try, right? Try roasting up a couple turkey breasts, cutem nice and thick and youd knock it outta the park. They clearly know there way around meat, theres no reason to go with that cheap deli fare. Ah well, a blemish in what was otherwise a fantastic meal.

It was after 8 pm and we needed something for dinner, but not the usual pizza or whatever. I searched on my phone for "takeout dinner near here" and Uptowne Mediterranean came up. I didnt even know it was there, but we always fly past the shopping area at 50 mph. Its not a fancy place, but its pleasant, and the owner was very friendly and proud of his food, and made suggestions for next time. The food was marvelous, very tasty, and surprisingly light. The chicken kebabs were delicious, the salad on the side was fresh, and the felafels were among the best Ive had.

It was my first time ordering here. The lady who took my order was very nice and the place has a lovely atmosphere but I wasnt very impressed with my order which was a platter of shawarma and salad. Too much dressing on the Mediterranean salad (it was dripping dressing) and it didnt taste fresh plus the portion of shawarma was small compared to other middle eastern restaurants. I read a lot of good reviews so maybe it was just my order that they didnt do very well :(

Lovely family atmosphere. The owner saw I was new and came over to ask me how I liked my food. Good number of Middle Eastern diners eating lunch when I arrived which is always a good sign. My mixed Sharma plate was tasty and served with rice and vermicelli, pickles and tomatoes. Both meats were good but the chicken was better than the beef (personal preference) Lovely traditionally brewed Turkish coffee topped off the lunch. Service was prompt and courteous.

The food is amazing! The prices are super reasonable and the portions sizes good. I had the falafel platter. I have never eaten such good falafel even in expensive fancy Mediterranean restaurants. We had the chicken shawarma with rice, it was amazing again. It isnt a fancy place for a dine-in. The patrons are always so nice and friendly. I love this place and is my favorite place to eat in the area and its so reasonably priced too!

Great selection with something for everyone! We came here for a birthday for a vegan and then came back over and over because of fresh food and welcoming staff. I encourage everyone to come in and enjoy. They work hard to please and make you feel at home. The owners even remembered what we have tried before and suggest other experiences. Their homemade baklava is the best and a perfect ending to every meal.

Best Lebanese Restaurant outside of Lebanon! Would request it to anyone who wants to try authentic delicious Lebanese food. Everytime I go, the food is overwhelming with flavor. Everything is done by hand from this one remarkable cook. From the shawarma, to the hummus, to the kababs everything tastes amazing. If you want to experience the true taste of Lebanon then visit this restaurant ASAP.

I go here on a regular basis because the food is always fresh and delicious! Try the falafel, the greek salads, the babganoush, the shawarma platters, the gyros, the stuffed grape leaves! They are all fantastic! The owners are very friendly, the place is always clean, and everything is reasonably priced. A hidden gem!

The Best Shawerma Sandwich in New England!! I needed a catering for my new dental office open house and their food was beyond amazing, I had Beef Shawerma, Chicken Shawerma and Kibba! The owners are very nice couple who take our order and made the food for us, thank you for being kind to us :)

Nice little place, food is good, the 4 rating is not based on quality, it more about some of the food not matching my taste preferences. As a side note, if you have some allergy, do ask whether the food contains that. A name of an ingredient may not jump out to you if not called in English.

A small family owned restaurant that serves excellent Mediterranean food. Everyone is the restaurant is very friendly. I havent been disappointed by any of the items I have had, so far. The portion size is very generous. I havent had better tasting falafel anywhere else.

Very good restaurant in a nice shopping complex. Plenty of parking. Restaurant has plenty of tables to sit and eat. Service might be a little slow during busy hours like 11am-1pm or 6-8pm. Food tastes great and is very reasonable. Dont forget the baklavas.

Incredible food prepared by the nicest family! Really what a gem! Between fresh salad, spicy chicken or shawarma or kebabs, humus, falafel and homemade baklava you just cant go wrong! So lucky to have this place nearby

Uptowne deli has the best shawarma in the area. The staff is very welcoming and it is always a great experience. Definitely worth the visit and I will always come back!

Excellent food, great service, friendly staff, and they were super fast! Best of all: full halal menu (just ask re particular items, since they run out sometimes).

Little family restaurant. Food from the Mediterranean. Love the wraps. Few options for vegetarians but the Falafel & Taboule wraps are lip smacking.
