If you're a foodie seeking an unforgettable dining experience in Boston, Ashur, a Somali restaurant in the heart of Roxbury, is an absolute must-visit. The moment you step inside, the rich aroma of perfectly spiced dishes welcomes you, hinting at the culinary delight to come.
I enjoyed a generous plate featuring a variety of meats—lamb, goat, and chicken—each cooked to perfection and infused with an array of spices that elevated the flavors to new heights. The rice was a perfect complement, absorbing the flavors beautifully and adding to the overall experience.
The hospitality at Ashur is second to none. The staff are warm, attentive, and make you feel right at home, enhancing the dining experience. The artful paintings and decor add a unique charm, creating a vibrant and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, the ample parking outside ensures a hassle-free visit, making it convenient for everyone.
Ashur restaurant stands out not just for its exceptional food, but also for its inviting atmosphere and top-notch service. Whether you're a local or visiting Boston, this hidden gem in Roxbury is a culinary adventure you won't want to miss.
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.
