Sarma Restaurant Somerville Reviews
Upon booking my work trip for the Boston area, I looked up
Upon booking my work trip for the Boston area, I looked up restaurants to see what food might pique my interest. Sarma came up on my list, as it happened to be near the hotel I was staying at. I saw that it was noted as one of Boston's best rest
Sarma is a place that needs no reviews as everyone's likely
Sarma is a place that needs no reviews as everyone's likely already heard about it, but it feels wrong to not add to the hype. This is the type of restaurant that Boston needs more of: off the beaten path, decently priced, and exploding with fl
If you can get a reservation, GO.
The food is outstanding. It's typically crowded inside (very popular).
Always the best time here.
We made a reservation for 9 pm but thankfully got seated at 8:40 pm. The Black Sea cornbread is what dreams are made of. It's so unique with its gooey-ness and honey drizzle, and has a great kick with the peppers. We also loved the octopus becau
The black sea cornbread absolutely lived up to the hype.
.. the leftovers even reheated beautifully the next day. That dish in itself was a 10/10 experience. I really loved my experience and the ambience of the restaurant is great. The food is complex and tasty. I showed up before open on a rainy Thursday
Excellent Service and Menu
We came in on a Monday night to celebrate a 60th, the team didn’t know this, but made a great fuss of us. Food was delicious and service was exceptional!
Very happy.
Seasoning delicious. Pretty interior. Host, waiter and waitstaff friendly and helpful. Will be back. Will recommend to friends. Got the watermelon poke, buttered radishes, cornbread and lamb and peach dessert.
Spectacular in all aspects.
Crowded but deservingly so. Get a res 30 days in advance for no stress. This place is a must try. Everything was so yummy with the chickpea fritters, mole carrots, harissa duck, octopus, and duck confit being sleeper picks that i dont see talked abou
All the rumors are true .
.. Sarma is as delicious and fun as people say!! My BF and I decided on a whim to come here on a Friday we both had free. Reservations require planning in advance, but we had heard that you could show up and likely still get a bar seat! We arrived ar
This is one of the best dinners in Boston.
Each plate of food is so thought out and carefully composed. Black sea cornbread: This a must get. It was crispy on the edges and had a nice toasted flavor. The inside is soft, fluffy, and had just the right level of sweetness. Avocado muhummara:
Sarma comes highly recommended and it does not disappoint.
My friend and I waited an hour and a half for seats at the bar, and I think it was worth it. The service was friendly, but quick given how busy they were. I loved that every bite was a playful blend of flavors. Each dish was unique and memorable. -
Absolutely incredible.
Coming from NYC I have very high standards for food - Mediterranean especially - when I tell you this was by far the best meal I had in Boston, and one of the best in recent memory I am not kidding. Quite literally every single thing we had was incre

I was finally able to visit Sarma after almost a year of trying to get a reservation and will def have to admit it lives up to the hype! We ordered around 8 dishes for 3 people and that was plenty of food. Highlights were the cornbread, brussels spro

The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because service was very slow. Not the waiters fault at all, he was definitely spread thin. Food was delicious and definitely worth a trip just to taste it! However, I really think Oleana is much better in t
Great experience
Had a really interesting and enjoyable meal here when I was in town for a class at Harvard. My husband and I ordered a variety of things to share and it was all delicious. Definitely grab the fried chicken that they come around with. We went on a Tue
It Really Is That Good
It really is that good. We'd heard about this spot and had trouble getting in at the last minute several times in the past but this time we made a reservation well in advance and oh my was it worth the wait! Everything we had was terrific, inclu
Excellent food and service - surprising fees
Loved the food and amazing service! Shocked by the 5% “kitchen” fee that was added to the bill with no mention - this should be stated somewhere as many people do not study the itemizations / I was surprised and no where did it say it can be “o
Among the best anywhere
One of the best restaurants we've ever been to. The flavors are so much more complex than most restaurants and they work beautifully together. Our server, Jenny, was excellent and also nice to meet Dan at the front.
Best day celebration
The most amazing experience!!With my daughter for birthday celebration and Dougie the Bartender was so helpful with selecting the dinner choices. That were so delicious and unique. The real surprise was a candle and dessert that wasn't orde
Interesting, Tasty Dishes
Everyone knows this place is great and I'm happy to say it remains so! I'm a big fan of their cornbread, which has a bit of heat!
Still a staple
This is not Italian/French elemental cuisine highlighting one or two ingredients. This is unapologetic Near East cuisine attempting to overload your taste buds with a dozen flavors in every bite. Sarma does well what it sets out to do. Not everyone g
Overhyped.
I do feel this restaurant is overhyped. Was the food good, sure. Was it the best I ever had, no. I don’t understand why it’s one of the top restaurants in the Boston area but I’m not a food critic so maybe I am missing something.
Creative twists on many dishes
There was not 1 thing we ordered that came out as expected, yet every single item ordered was delicious. Although billed as Turkish or Mediterranean, seemed like a greek/Indian fusion and that was a first for me. We literally ordered 1/2 the menu and
Cannot rate the food - never got to have it.
10 minutes after being seated the power went out and the restaurant filled with smoke (so not great ambiance). The manager came by and gave us his card and apologized and asked us to leave because the restaurant was closing for the night. He offered
Wow! This menu felt so vibrant.
Our favorite dishes were the Grilled Octopus Ceviche and Scallop Tagine. And the Cheese Dog Gyro is a fun dish. They could open a takeout window that serves just that! Staff was very attentive. And they treated us with a complimentary dessert, as the

Had my birthday dinner here and it did not disappoint! Everything was tapas style and went with a group of 5. We shared around 6 plates with plenty to go around. My recommendation is the pork souvlaki and the Brussel sprouts 10/10. The service was a

I am in town for a few days and saw this place was 1200 feet from my rental. I walked over around 7pm and the place was packed on a Monday night. The place has a funky vibe between the colors, the brick, open kitchen and music selection. Cocktails

I saw really good reviews on tiktok so I wanted to give it a try. Getting a reservation was hard. I looked about 2 weeks in advanced and there were no reservations left. I had to click for a notification. Overall the food was mediocre. It came out re

Probably the best place to eat in Boston! The place was poppin on a Saturday night. The wait will be long but you can always grab a drink at the bar and hang out. I highly recommend getting the corn bread! I would suggest going as a group so you can

We've eaten here a few times prior to our meal a couple nights ago. Every time the food was amazing and I would easily give 5 stars. But after this past dinner I'm giving 4 stars but 3.5 is probably more accurate. We had 5 small plates and dessert...
Thank you Sarma for giving me a favorite restaurant in
Thank you Sarma for giving me a favorite restaurant in Boston! They're rated by several sources as one of Boston's top restaurants, for good reason. Reservations are difficult to come by but they seem to have a decent amount of seating by the bar. D

Weird spice added to most everything!
This place gets great reviews why not sure. We tried and most of the dishes we tried had some weird spice added so that they mostly all tasted the same and we did not enjoy it. A few dishes we ok but overall will not be back. They also add some ki
Excellent service w a knowledgeable server for wines.
The food was uniformly delicious and inventive. Honestly we had so many dishes from duck kabob to cabbage Caesar salad to crunchy tuna tartare one better than the next. Fun atmosphere w easy parking. We'll be back!
Do not miss out.
Sarma surpassed our friend’s already high recommendation. The food was remarkable, bold, creative, and absolutely delicious.

Lamb kofte sliders and steak gyro were the stars of the show. Food and waitstaff weee absolutely incredible, knowledgeable, and friendly. 10/10 would go back!
A great place for an anniversary or an occasion, but
A great place for an anniversary or an occasion, but definitely not a place to frequent. The quality of food is great and the vibe is spectacular, but it's really easy to spend $150+ for two people and still leave hungry.
The best meal I've had in years.
Can't recommend highly enough. It can be hard to get a reservation but it's worth it - they also apparently take walk ins at the bar.

This review is for the Sarma x The Grateful Bagel breakfast collaboration on 2024/03/02. The overall experience was a 3/5 for me, but since this was a one-time event, I am keeping the 5/5 rating for the dine-in experience. Pre-orders were supposed t

Not impressed with the food or the noisy atmosphere, tables cramped next to each other~ over spicing the food does not allow to taste the protein or vegetables in the dish. Menu selection was overwhelming 50 items to choose from ~ server was helpful

One of the best restaurants in Boston! Loved their fried chicken dish and their Black Sea cornbread is a must! So savory and sweet Usually hard to find a good reservation time so both of the times I've been I've walked in right at 5 to be seated at t
We have moved closer and have since come to Sarma probably
We have moved closer and have since come to Sarma probably over six times in the last year or so. It still is one of the best restaurants in New England period, let alone Boston or Somerville. The ambiance is casual, modern, and Mediterranean vibes.
Sarma was a wonderful experience.
The waitstaff is knowledgeable, timely and kind. There is a beautiful atmosphere and it is very elegant. The food was quick and delicious! Our waiter let us know to order about 4-6 plates for two people. We got 5 plates and it was the perfect amo
I was so excited to go here, but was very disappointed.
The food was very over spiced and it seemed like the spices were the same in several dishes. It was really not edible. The drink menu was good, wine was good, service was OK and ambience was fine but nothing remarkable. Way overpriced, and would neve
Once you find a place to park your car, you're in for a treat
With a reservation (which they recommend, until 10:30 pm), we dropped in and got a table. We ordered the octopus al pastor, a dish with rice noodles, a fennel salad, brussels sprouts (hot), a total of 6 things for 3 of us. The cold items appeared f
Mediocre at its best
Overhyped, okay food with less than mediocre service. Unprofessional host but pleasant server. Don’t waste your hard earned money here!
Beyond words…a must experience!

You will not be disappointed
Arrived 15 mins prior to opening and there was already a line up - which ended up around the block, in the rain. If this doesn’t tell you how good this place is, nothing will. Got 2 seats at the bar and were immediately greeted by Doug, the friendl
Worth the wait
So good, every part of it! Loved the food, service and atmosphere. Parking wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Sarma Restaurant Somerville at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Sarma Restaurant Somerville page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Sarma Restaurant Somerville to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Sarma Restaurant Somerville!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
