I work nearby and by default eat there about once a week. Today I ordered a beef shawarma salad which was made up by a very pleasant woman until it came time to top it off with the beef.... She told the guy who carves the beef and chicken my choice of toppers and I very nicely asked for the more well done pieces please. He replied to me that he was behind the counter and it was his decision what pieces of meat I got!!! I was shocked and so was the female worker who looked at me sheepishly !!! I am so mad that I acted so complacent and didn't say somthing back to him .. i will never go there again and have told my entire company not to go too! Beware of the mean guy carving the shawarma wheels.

My husband and I were visiting the Boston area for leisure and we stayed in Cambridge. It was our first day there and we were looking for somewhere for a late lunch/early dinner. We love greek and meditteranean food so I had written down Aceituna after reviewing CitySearch. It was a short walk from the hotel to the restaurant. I was surprised that it was completely empty. The decor was nice - calming. However the help there was less than desirable; not friendly or helpful at all. We both ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate. I was disappointed to know that it was the meat on the big metal turning pit. I could not put my finger on what spices they used on the chicken but it was definitely strange. The rice was good. The side type 'salad' was ok. Overall, with the price and the quality, I wish we would have went to some other Greek/Meditteranean restaurant!! Too bad.
Pros: Price was okay.
Cons: Limited menu; poor service; strangely flavored Meditteranean
