Diwan - Cambridge

The atmosphere is lovely, the food is delicious, and the chicken shawarma is fantastic. Plus, the hookah is amazing!

Diwan Restaurant is an excellent spot for a delicious and authentic Middle Eastern meal. The shawarma is outstanding, and the hummus is the best I've ever tasted. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Diwan Restaurant to anyone in search of a fantastic Middle Eastern dining experience.

The restaurant seems to be quite popular among the local Arabic community, featuring a shisha and gaming area. The food was surprisingly good—slightly pricey but freshly prepared. We opted to sit outdoors to steer clear of the smoky interior (which wasn't too overwhelming, but still better to avoid). The place could benefit from a little paint and a brighter atmosphere, although that might be part of its charm. Would I bring my kids here again? Probably not. However, all in all, it wasn't too bad.

This restaurant serves the finest Mediterranean cuisine in Cambridge! The baklava is absolutely delightful and the most genuine I've ever tasted. We also sampled the baba ghanoush and the chicken shawarma platter, both of which were exceptional. I definitely intend to return repeatedly. They also provide shisha (hookah) for those interested, although I don’t personally partake in it, so I didn’t give it a try.

The food was fantastic and the staff were very welcoming! I tried the shawarma, and it was beyond my expectations. The quality was outstanding for the price.
