Terrible place to eat

by justanotherfoodie at Citysearch

Every meat dish we ordered was overcooked and burned - tasted like charcoal and was like eating leather strips. The couscous was bland and the veggies equally tasteless. At $15 an entree you expect better. Definitely not recommended as a place for lunch or dinner.

• Pros: Good atmosphere, great coffee
• Cons: Really bad food, very slow service

Editorial Review

Mediterranean-North African cafe sits atop the Brattle Theatre and is popular with area academics in need of strong coffee.

Harvard Square Institution

by totaro at Citysearch

Above the Brattle Theatre, this institution in Harvard Square provides enough aesthetic pleasure and clarity of mind to do one's work in. The sandwiches are excellent, as is the arabic coffee. Prices are steep, but worth the atmosphere, if you've come to study. Upstairs, you can smoke.

• Pros: ambiance, arabic coffee, sandwiches
• Cons: price of coffee, lack of outlets
