    Nickel and diming is the name of the game here. I asked for chicken and there was just a little left so that's all I got. Just as he finished serving it they added some more so I asked for a little more chicken since I had maybe half a serving (I go here often so I know what a normal portion is). All's fine til I get to the cash register and they asked if I got extra chicken. I said no I just asked for the standard portion. They then proceeded to weigh the bowl (mind you it has rice and other ingredients at this point so weighing the bowl to ascertain how much chicken is in there is laughable) and told me it's too heavy and I have to pay $3 for extra chicken. Are you kidding me? Attached a picture so you can see what $13 of chicken bowl gets you at Verts. Never again.

    Delish, natural, fresh and authentic flavor... Everything is prepared fresh to order. Takeout was very easy via grubhub! Really loved their french fries and tasy falafel. Can't wait to come here again this summer.

    Absolutely awesome ! They have really good options for base (quinoa, yellow rice and few green) and for proteins. Servers were very nice. You can choose almost 9 sides for your bowl. Their cilantro tahini is the best ! It is little pricey. But Server was very generous with the portion. They were celebrating someones birthday so everyone was served free cake ! I totally recommend this !

    A few of my coworkers and I attempted to try this place out due to the reviews that have been posted. However, we decided to leave shortly after. While standing in line one of the workers were seasoning and mixing a big bowl of chicken with her BARE hands. No gloves but bare hands. We all were on the same page that Noon was not for us, to see her doing that in the open with several customers looking upon. I only imagine what they are doing when others are not looking.

    I tried the vegan falafel bowl. This is one of the few Mediterranean places that allows customisation. Basically you can have exactly what you want on the bowl. The food was quite tasty and I felt like I had a nice and healthy meal. If there was one reason why I came here the second time was for the concern that the helper had for me; he actually pointed out that Tzatziki wasn't completely vegan as it had yogurt. Not everybody appreciated my vegan diet as much as the Noon helper did. Definitely recommend it!!

    Normally don’t write reviews but, walking in one employee was sitting down & didn’t greet me. Felt very unwelcoming . While ordering one of the employees had a tone with one of the parties in my group . Don’t think I’d come back .

    Poor service and sloppy preparation of both a falafel and the chicken pita. She was telling me that they have no more pita bread available until I pushed a little with questions. All of a sudden, pita bread was found in the back kitchen.

    One of the tastiest things I have ordered from Noon has to be their loaded pita bread with protein and fries. Remember ordering that a few times and has always hit the spot. Their bowls are also really good as well. Fries tasty as well. As someone who is a big fan of mediterranean food, I highly recommend Noon.

    Pretty good Mediterranean food. It is a fast-casual style restaurant so you can be in and out in minutes! I went during a lunch rush and while there were many people getting their lunch there, the line workers are speedy and I barely felt like I needed to wait. There are a bunch of different topping choices and options for gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan diets.

    Place was nice and staff were friendly, but food was HORRIBLE. Braised Beef & the chicken were horrible, toppings were weird and the rice was bland tasting. Was not worth the price if I’m being honest.

    Went at an off peak time. The food was alright. Great lunch place in general, but Boston offers a lot of better Mediterranean options that serve "chipotle style" build your own.

  • 3/5 Karen B. 5 years ago on Google
    It was ok. Not great, overpriced and a long wait. But nice to have a bit of variety (Mediterranean) if you're looking for something different.

  • 5/5 Nydia S. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious falafel, homus and all kind of Mediterranean meals

  • 5/5 Nabeel S. 2 years ago on Google
    The bowls are so delicious! The shredded beef is absolutely amazing

  • 1/5 Hamza M. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious falafel, horrible attitude from staff. One of their staff was cleaning tables with a spray cleaner, and then only rinsed their hands to serve food. I politely asked that they wear a glove before they touch anything related to my order, and they took offense to the 🤷‍♂️

    Some of the best falafals in the city ("*")

  • 5/5 Eli L. 2 years ago on Google
    Got lunch there. Ate inside, lamb bowl and chicken pita were really good.

    Came to try for the first time and it was closed before 9:30 and information online says it closed at 10:00....very disappointed lol

  • 5/5 Laura K. 2 years ago on Google
    I just had Noon for the first time and honestly it is the best hummus and pita I have ever had. The quinoa bowl was amazing as well, but seriously the pita is so fluffy and the hummus is out of this world.

  • 5/5 Cynthia C. 5 years ago on Google
    Super fast and only $10 for a spinach based bowl with lots of veggie and sauce options.

  • 2/5 Prnay C. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to love this place so much over the last year, but online orders are consistently made wrong. Quality is going downhill fast.

  • 1/5 Olive P. 1 year ago on Google
    I always order from here and every single time I do there’s always something that they mess up. Do these people not know how to read?? I order meals and they come without the protein option or without my base or BOTH!!! How do you forget to include more than 3 of the requested items during a time when it’s not busy?

  • 4/5 Lucia 1 year ago on Google
    I got a bowl of rice, lamb and feta - the lamb was pretty good but the rice was cooked poorly - over cooked and hard. Good location. I thought I was going into grainmaker but when I realized it wasn't, I decided to just try it anyway.

  • 2/5 Musaab T. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s a dead place and the food seems old but the staff is nice so I’ll give 2

    I used to work here so I understand how mobile orders and wait times work, however this experience crossed the line. My order was never put out on the pick-up area/shelves. Waited about 20 min looking and waiting at the pickup area-- nothing. Had to go and ask for it, turns out they had it behind the register? With no notification that the order was ready (I ordered through the Ritual app), how was I supposed to know they finished it? The lady I spoke to said not one word to me, even when I explained the situation: she just stared at me, looked at the bags she had behind the register, then handed me the one that belonged to me. Doesn't help that most of the employees (like 2 or 3 of them) were out at a table eating and talking with just one person in the back. Very unwelcoming and confusing, considering I only ordered a side of fries and a side pita bread (neither of which take 20 min to make). The only times I get good service is when one specific employee recognizes me. However, I feel like I shouldn't have to be recognized to get good service- it should be given to everyone.

  • 4/5 Irine S. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good food, great choice of add-ons and sauces (I just wish they brought halloumi back). My only complaint is that the same group works on online and in-person orders, and somehow those actually coming in are considered second priority.

  • 5/5 Nick G. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent ingredients and a welcome change from the similar concept restaurants around it. Red pepper and harissa sauces are the best.

  • 5/5 joey r. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently had the pleasure of ordering catering for 18 people from Noon Mediterranean, and it was spectacular. Despite initially facing some communication challenges when placing my order a week in advance, I was met with unparalleled kindness and dedication from the staff when I returned to the store to inquire about my order. The entire team, especially the manager, went above and beyond to ensure that my order was not only completed, but that it was executed with care and attention. The commitment of the team to customer satisfaction truly stood out to me. As for the food itself, Noon serves some of the best Mediterranean cuisine in Boston. The flavors and quality of the dishes were a home run. The level of customer service I experienced at Noon Mediterranean is something I haven't encountered in quite some time. If you need catering, get it done here.

  • 2/5 Kodie F. 10 months ago on Google
    Not much to it. 3/4 was a hummus. Very little meat and veggies. Felt like all I was eating was hummus. Flavors weren’t bad. But I wouldn’t order again

  • 1/5 Nikhil D. 11 months ago on Google
    It looks fancy restaurant. But food quality is not good at all. Felt like eating rice prepared couple of days old. Ordered bowl of falafel. It was worst ever. Hopefully Management will take some good action on it. -Thanks!

  • 4/5 Maggie 8 months ago on Google
    Very good quinoa bowl. they just forgot to give the tahini sauce. I wish they gave a bit more hummus and taziki too. Bowls are very customizable. The meat was juicy and flavorful.

  • 1/5 Mari B. 4 months ago on Google
    terrible nighttime service. they shouldn’t stay open this late if they’re going to be making things wrong. wasted $25 on these guys in an attempt to try something new. never again.

  • 3/5 Kristin H. 4 years ago on Google
    I absolutely love Mediterranean food. This is the McDonald's of that. Plenty of seating, a little over priced, server had to keep reading directions for ingredients. If things were explained better I would have opted out of a few sides. I ordered the lamb meatball special. Spicy, good, and expected to be soft. However I bit hard into a bone. This cracked my tooth threw and I now need a crown. I'm left 50/50 because if there was bone it must be fresh lamb and missed it. But the lack and rush of service overrated that. And the 1k in dental expenses. Chew carefully!

    Bad quality, bad service. No worth!!

  • 1/5 Anton K. 4 years ago on Google
    Bad Quality, food Taste has no relation with mediterranean food, and over priced

  • 5/5 Michael N. 5 years ago on Google
    Noon has super efficient Mediterranean food with a bunch of options. There's tons of seating if you want to eat in or you can be out with the quick service. I'll run in to noon if I only have a few minutes for lunch and it's great every time.

  • 5/5 Coy W. 4 years ago on Google
    Go here often. I enjoy the options provided

  • 5/5 R M. 4 years ago on Google
    TASTY!!! Loved the food. Chipotle style, lots of options for health conscious

  • 4/5 Percees de l. 4 years ago on Google
    Well done poke bowls, good choice of ready poke + diy of course. The indoor is very spacious (it has a second deck). The prices are a bit higher than usual for poke, but it's fine for downtown.

  • 5/5 Emerson W. 5 years ago on Google
    Great Mediterranean bowls. The food is fresh and affordable.

  • 5/5 Tim L. 4 years ago on Google
    I frequently go to Noon through my Mealpal weekly meal subscription service. Overall, love the food and the staff. Anna (believe that's her name), who I believe is the manager always greets me and asks if I want my usual order. Always makes my day.

    The food was good, couldn't rate the service or ambiance because dinning in was not an option.

    At the first moment you enter that restaurant the waiters give you a great feeling. Very friendly waiters, it is a friendly place to go out with buddies or with your date. Excellent food, creative chef, comfortable pay and nice service. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Christina S. 4 years ago on Google
    My friends and I were extremely indecisive and asked a ton of questions and the guy behind the counter was super helpful and extremely patient. I wasn't super hungry so I just got pita with hummus, tzatziki, and garlic sauce. The pita was warm and fresh, the garlic sauce was incredible (tasted better than it looked for sure lol), the hummus was really good (I only like some hummus and loved theirs) but the tzatziki was just ok, too watery, lemony, and cucumbery for my preference. It tasted like when I tried to make it myself, edible but not the same as my favorite tzatziki from other places. I would love to see them try to improve it since everything else was so good. My two vegetarian friends loved their falafel bowls and we will all definitely be back.

    (Translated by Google) Falafel Powerball is really delicious (Original) 팔라펠 파워 볼 진짜 맛있어요

  • 2/5 Venu V. 4 years ago on Google
    Ordered Falafel “ powerbowl” - they give a rip off amount of food for $10. Better be prepared to buy a second lunch next door.. anywhere.
