The rice was a perfect complement, absorbing the flavors beautifully and adding to the overall experience. The hospitality at Ashur is second to none.

I ordered lamb shank several times. Absolutely amazing. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff, delicious food, and great atmosphere. My family and I got a “family plate” style and some beef sambusas on the side.

The food is good, but unfortunately, the service was quite disappointing. The food prices on the menu screen were different at the moment of payment. I understand that inflation can cause prices to change rapidly, but when I informed the owner about the discrepancy, he actually became very defensive. He told me that he could change the prices whenever he wanted, no need to explicitly inform about it. He even said, “I don't know where you come from, but this is how I do it,' which is not a very cool thing to say to an immigrant. From previous reviews posted here, it seems this unwelcoming behavior is not an isolated case.

This is some food to perfection! Perfect to-go for Boston’s local delights!!!!!🤩🤩🤩
