Editorial Review for Brookline Family Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Amid casual, modest environs, homesick ex-pats and Brookline residents nibble on freshly grilled kebabs and soft flatbread. By day, the restaurant serves cafeteria-style, while speedy servers patrol the dining room at night. Authentic menu items include savory tripe soup, stuffed baby eggplant, doner-kebab sandwiches and chicken kebabs with yogurt sauce. Wine and beer, including a few Turkish varieties, are served, as are homemade desserts like rice pudding and sticky-sweet baklava.

Went to the family restaurant Sunday night in fact i was really looking forward to it. The service here to say the least needs attention. Not a smile or a simple hello when we entered in fact we were made to feel like a unwanted Family member. We waited for ten minutes before we got up and left. I did get a glass of water which was cold like the service. That was my first and last time i will ever enter the so called Family well not my Family restaurant.

We have gone back to Family Restaurant repeatedly since discovering it last Spring. We have also introduced it to all our friends. The food is wonderful, varied, and very homey. From the outside, the place looks a bit like a converted diner, but that's easily forgotten by the first bite. We love everything we have tried: the hummus is some of the best in Boston, the tomato soup, the chicken and mixed grill kebabs, the eggplant dishes, and most importantly, the dessert! Every time we try a different housemade dessert and we have yet to be disappointed. This is definitely one of our favorite restaurants and quite affordable, too.
Pros: Food, Dessert, Comfortable seating
Cons: not much!
