Greek / Turkish / Middle Eastern Amazingness

I love ethnic food: Mexican, Japanese, Thai, the list could go on forever but I ESPECIALLY love Greek and Middle Eastern cuisine. I’ve strolled along Newbury Street countless times and had never noticed Café Jaffa on Gloucester until friends started raving recently about how delicious and cheap the food is.

After all the praise, I finally went tonight for dinner. I ordered the Baba Ghanoush Plate which came with a salad and pita. Baba Ghanoush is smoked eggplant blended with onion and spices. I expected it to come on top of the salad, but instead it came along side it. While it was really really pureed, almost to the consistency of hummus, it was still pretty delicious.

Rachel’s Falafel and Houmus Plate, I tried the hummus and it was tasty


As far as cheap Middle Eastern food goes, this was probably the best I’ve had in Boston.
