"A refuge for ingredients snobs, this Eastern Mediterranean restaurant prides itself on rare spices, vibrant olive oils, and authentic techniques: simple greens elevated with crispy shallots and pomegranate, feta fritters with currants and dill, and a perfectly cooked whole branzino drizzled with lemon-coriander vinaigrette." - Todd Plummer, Shannon McMahon
"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
"The food at this Eastern Mediterranean joint is meant to be shared. Bring some friends, and enjoy dishes like feta fritters with orange blossom honey and grilled whole fish along with plates of olives and hummus." - Karen Wilber
"This Eater Boston reader favorite offers a great selection of meze, and diners will be amazed by what the restaurant’s cooks can do with feta — especially the feta fritters with orange blossom honey, and the lamb burgers, which are topped with whipped feta. Moona is open for indoor dining and outdoor dining (heated, tented — reserve here), takeout, and delivery." - Karen Wilber
"Moona is a Mediterranean small-plates restaurant, which inevitably means your server will recommend “three to four plates per person.” The mezze dishes are solid, though on the pricier side. An order of lamb kebobs, for instance, will set you back $26 but comes with just two skewers, and you’ll have to shell out $55 for a whole grilled fish. If you heed the server’s advice, you could be approaching the hourly salary of Kyrie Irving, a topic nobody really wants to think about." - Joel Ang
