Oleana Cambridge Reviews
I enjoyed my dinner at Oleana.
It is very different to what I expected. I was looking for dinner at an authentic Middle Eastern restaurant, but this place is more of an interesting fusion place. Each dish was very unique and unlike anything I've ever tried before - I liked th

The food isn't traditional but it's genuinely delicious. The atmosphere is charming.

Excellent food and ambiance! A bit pricey, but worth the splurge for a special occasion. Everything we had was prepared expertly, and the service was impeccable. We ordered the Halloumi, Gigante beans, Hummus basturma, Hake croquettes, and the Sult
The food is just out of this world.
The seating is quite tight and the service thus rather forced to juggle spaces between tables to bring plates. The orders come as convenient gor the kitchen which can be an issue when more stuff comes than fits on tiny table or wait between dishes i
Oleana very much lived up to the hype.
Everything we tried was delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, and service was attentive and friendly. We came right at opening and there was already a line. We had reservations and the line moved quickly as soon as they opened the door. We opted t
Came here for dinner for my boyfriend's birthday.
We had a 9:15 reservation and were sat very quickly. We didn't really know what to get so asked the waitress for some recommendations. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and provided some great suggestions. We ended getting the Za'

The line out the door before it even opened plus not having a reservation was a concern, could this by hype? Clearly not hype. 100% service driven was evident when they seated me at the patio vs pushing me towards the bar for a party of 1. The

Me and my friends went there for dinner, we didn't have a reservation, but we were lucky to catch spots on the bar! The food is amazing, small plates more like tapas, but every single one was delicious!!! We got a lot of stuff and we all shared

This is the best food we've had in our 3-4 years living here! We were blown away at how amazing the flavors were. The service was fabulous, very attentive and helpful. I almost don't want to hype it up too much so I can keep getting reserva

First time diner last night on the recommendation of some colleagues. We had a friendly and knowledgeable server...she knew the menu cold and her knowledge of the eclectic wine list was really solid. We started with a Hungarian red blend we'd
One of my favorite restaurant dining experience in Boston.
The vibes were immaculate outdoors, the food was thoughtfully prepared and fun, the service was friendly and attentive. Let's talk about the food: - za'atar bread: fluffy and the date butter is unmatched - spinach falafel: you must get it
Awesome food and unmatched dining experience.
Fan favorite ... hummus potato! This should be a must stop for any trip to Boston but reserve early because they book up very far in advance.
Still the best in Cambridge
Tables are hard to come by on their reservation site but you can grab one if you're patient by walking in. There was a pleasant hidden courtyard to site and enjoy a drink and relax. Waitstaff were extremely attentive and sensitive to the exten
Good but not great
I hadn't been to Oleana in years and wanted to try it again to see how it was. I was lucky to grab a day of reservation. The ambience and staff are terrific and the food was good, but there was something about it that didn't wow me enough t
Such a wonderfully delicious dinner
We have very good memories of a wonderful dinner at Oleana before the pandemic. We returned recently, thinking that the restaurant couldn't possibly be as good as we remembered it to be. We were wrong. IT WAS EVEN BETTER, including so many delic

Deliciously colorful food
This charming, upscale restaurant is the perfect way to end the day. The food is colorful and a pleasure to eat, and it's incredibly obvious that the entire team takes great pride in both the quality and the presentation of the meal. There were
Outstanding food and hospitality!
Fabulous evening at Oleana! Huge thanks to Jake for finding a table for us at short notice! Wonderful cocktails and incredible food - think Ottolenghi +++ ! Excellent recommendations from Jenna to help us choose from an amazing range of sharing plate
Amazing place!
Came here for reunion visit and ate here with my wife. Food was really delicious and we were able to eat here fairly late as we had just flown in. Food and service was top-notch and our deviled eggs, fatteh, mussels, and other items were very del
A Summer Feast at Oleana β Vibrant Flavors and Romantic Ambiance!
Oleana is a feast for the senses, and Chef Chris has truly mastered the art of bringing the colors, spices, and freshness of summer to the table. Dining here feels like a vibrant celebration of Mediterranean flavors. The Stuffed Potato Hummus was a
Skip it by all means.
In no way worth the visit. I'd heard so much hype and went with cousins from out of town who always come here when they visit. I was thoroughly disappointed. I'd be okay with the overpriced and miniscule portions (smaller than any tapas I
Oleana has become of my favorite restaurants in Boston.
We did a walk in on a Wednesday and they were super accommodating. We had a drink outside until a table was ready, but it didn't feel like a wait because we could enjoy the very interesting live music! The cocktails were ok, the beer selection limite

I stumbled upon this place because of convenient location, we had a later on plans in the same area, and decided to give it a try. when I couldnβt make a reservation online, I called and they told me just come down there that itβs a good chance t
Family Dinner
Great environment, friendly service, and nice pace of dishes coming out. Most dishes were delicious but slightly too small to share amongst our group of 4. Would love to have the opportunity to scale-up some dishes for easier sharing. That said, woul
love this place.
Such a cozy restaurant with a kind of bohemian vibe. Bartender there was very friendly and knowledgeable and responded some amazing dishes, which are small meddetrrian tapas style. The food was outstanding 1) Bluefish Conserva- light and flavorful
Absolutely incredible all around.
What a hidden gem. It looks so casual on the outside, but once you step inside, you're transported. They have incredible decor both indoors and on the patio space. The service was lovely. Everyone was always caring and attentive to our every need and

If i said this was the best meal in the world I probably wouldn't be exaggerating. It tastes AMAZING!!! The sultan's delight was so good and so was the fatteh. My waitress was so kind and all of the staff was friendly and attentive! The plates are

5 Stars for what I can honestly say is in my top 5 restaurants I've ever eaten at. Also- order everything on the vegetable meze section. We had a Sunday 9:30pm reservation as that's all that was available a week out, but we tried our luck and came i
Everything about this restaurant is terrific.
Service, food, even the somewhat crowded dining room. If you have enough people, order one of everything. Delicious. Good wine list too.
Wonderful hospitality! Just want to give Leslie a shout out

I hadn't been there in a long time and loved everything I ordered (great vegetarian options). It's been around for a long time but the quality is still at its best. The patio was lovely and service was great.

I love this place! it's one of a kind! Heart warming and delicious. Never had a bad time or bad service.
This place was yum! Very fun to try lots of small dishes.
The spread was good but very small. I really liked the samosa dish. But the star was the donuts for desert. They're like elevated Taco Bell donuts w the yummy cream filling and cinnamon. I came back and got some to go cuz I was daydreaming about it.
The food and service were fantastic.
Everything we got was delicious. It's not a cheap place, but it's worth it!
Loved this restaurant although I visited many years ago and
Loved this restaurant although I visited many years ago and haven't been able to secure a reservation since!
A phenomenal meal.
A special occasion restaurant for sure, but 100% worth trying if you live in Cambridge or Boston. Very easy to order for dietary restrictions. Been thinking about the food for months.

With nearly 2k reviews, you know this is a restaurant worth trying. So I'm going to keep it short and sweet with what we ate and what I'd recommend. Fantastic and would highly recommend: - Fatteh - Vermont Quail Kebab - Spinach Falafel - Baked Alas
Truly the best service in Boston.
Wine selection is amazing, love their sparkling red wine. "Best chicken of my life" - my boyfriend
fine food
Dining at Oleana in Boston was a culinary voyage that celebrated the flavors of the Mediterranean and the art of fine dining. The restaurantβs elegant and contemporary ambiance set the stage for an exceptional meal. The menu was a symphony of fresh
Never again
I.e.: nine dollars for one deviled egg is outrageous. Prices are not logical for vegetables and beans. Added gratuity for adminstration/staff whereas a higher salary should be given to employees, this is not the responsibilty of patrons.
Several disappointing glitches
Oleana has been a favorite of mine and my friends for many years. However, some of its allure is beginning to wear off, though the garden patio is still lovely and the food remains good-to-excellent. Last night, my party of four waited in line for ha

The food is absolutely delicious! Tastes fresh and has really unique flavors. These are not dishes you can typically make at home. The service was really good, very fast, and the restaurant has a great vibe. Plus they have a great wine menu. Would re

Connect with users posting reservations for Oleana Cambridge
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Oleana Cambridge. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Oleana Cambridge at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Oleana Cambridge 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
* MaternalRecord73, 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.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Oleana Cambridge 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 MaternalRecord73 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, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73'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 Oleana Cambridge!
* 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.
