The 38 Best Restaurants in Boston | Eater Boston

"Moona is a pitch-perfect tribute to Eastern Mediterranean ingredients intertwined with New England seasonality. The snug 30-seat restaurant starts with rigorously sourced pantry ingredients — such as olive oils, spice blends, and different varieties of molasses — and goes to work from there, turning out sublime meze, like a creamy eggplant fatteh with grape molasses, grilled shish tawouk (a Lebanese-style chicken kebab) with a garlicky, tangy dollop of toum, and golden-fried feta fritters drizzled with an orange blossom honey. Vibe check: The ratio of plates ordered to table space available is always a challenge at Moona, but that’s just part of the fun." - Erika Adams
