Aceituna Grill Mediterranean Restaurant Expands to Downtown Boston | Eater Boston

"I watched Aceituna Grill debut its new home in the atrium of 100 Federal St. (the Exchange building) on Friday, December 7, bringing its full lineup of shawarma, falafel, pita roll-ups, rice platters, and salads to the Financial District. Having first opened about 15 years ago in Kendall Square and expanded to the Seaport in early 2017, the counter-service spot fills a demand the team saw through catering to nearby clients; the menu offers assorted shawarma and falafel with sides ranging from spicy potatoes to fattoush, and online ordering is available for easy on-site pickup. Its counter joins Blue Bottle Coffee in an open-concept glass atrium that provides communal seating and a quick-service atmosphere, and the arrival is part of a broader expansion of fast-casual Mediterranean options in the city." - Dana Hatic
