Noon Mediterranean

I first had Noon when they were on Summer St. but I haven't worked in the city since COVID so I wasn't sure what to expect after not trying the food in years. I was so pleasantly surprised by everything we tried, both in terms of flavor and portion! My husband, mother in law and I ordered three bowls, three sides of pita bread, plus a pita chip & dip plate. The bowls all had the same base and toppings: rice base, cabbage salad, carrot salad, cucumber/tomato mix, marinated chickpeas, hummus, baba ganouj, spicy green sauce. The three bowls had different proteins: braised beef, falafel, and grilled chicken. Both slaws (carrot + cabbage salads) were DELICIOUS! I liked all the veggies but they stood out as winners, very crunchy, clearly freshly made. Of the proteins, the beef was the best. It was beyond tender, downright succulent, and the portion was enormous. The grilled chicken was also great! White meat, juicy, nice char flavor from the grill, and more than enough protein for two meals. The falafel was fine. It was not bad by any means but we all agreed that both meats were better. I really enjoyed all of the sauces! Ordering again I'd probably only get one sauce in the bowl and maybe 1-2 on the side so I can appreciate the flavors separately a little more easily. I really liked the tzatziki that came with the pita chip dip trio, but my MIL preferred the red pepper spread. Value wise, the beef bowl was $16 and the other two $14--all three bowls are easily two meals, so I was really happy with the portions! Definitely a good option for delivery if you're feeling like a Mediterranean bowl.

Absolutely awesome ! They have really good options for base (quinoa, yellow rice and few green) and for proteins. Servers were very nice. You can choose almost 9 sides for your bowl. Their cilantro tahini is the best ! It is little pricey. But Server was very generous with the portion. They were celebrating someones birthday so everyone was served free cake ! I totally recommend this !

One of the tastiest things I have ordered from Noon has to be their loaded pita bread with protein and fries. Remember ordering that a few times and has always hit the spot. Their bowls are also really good as well. Fries tasty as well. As someone who is a big fan of mediterranean food, I highly recommend Noon.

Very good quinoa bowl. they just forgot to give the tahini sauce. I wish they gave a bit more hummus and taziki too. Bowls are very customizable. The meat was juicy and flavorful.

First time i order from them and i regretted. Rice was bad test like been there 3 or 4 days old.food meat chicken and meat ball very very salty. Make my tongue burnt. If i can i will report them to food health services

Delish, natural, fresh and authentic flavor... Everything is prepared fresh to order. Takeout was very easy via grubhub! Really loved their french fries and tasy falafel. Can't wait to come here again this summer.

I tried the vegan falafel bowl. This is one of the few Mediterranean places that allows customisation. Basically you can have exactly what you want on the bowl. The food was quite tasty and I felt like I had a nice and healthy meal. If there was one reason why I came here the second time was for the concern that the helper had for me; he actually pointed out that Tzatziki wasn't completely vegan as it had yogurt. Not everybody appreciated my vegan diet as much as the Noon helper did. Definitely recommend it!!

Nickel and diming is the name of the game here. I asked for chicken and there was just a little left so that's all I got. Just as he finished serving it they added some more so I asked for a little more chicken since I had maybe half a serving (I go here often so I know what a normal portion is). All's fine til I get to the cash register and they asked if I got extra chicken. I said no I just asked for the standard portion. They then proceeded to weigh the bowl (mind you it has rice and other ingredients at this point so weighing the bowl to ascertain how much chicken is in there is laughable) and told me it's too heavy and I have to pay $3 for extra chicken. Are you kidding me? Attached a picture so you can see what $13 of chicken bowl gets you at Verts. Never again.

I ordered the spicy lamb meatball bowl topped with backed pita crunch, crispy harissa chickpeas, cucumber and tomato mix, feta cheese, garlic sauce, sliced banana peppers, spicy cilantro sauce, and spicy pickled cauliflower. I wouldn't describe this bowl as spicy despite the many descriptions that suggest it would be. I did find that there were many flavors at once (obviously so) which I thoroughly enjoyed. There was an herby taste, some creaminess, savory, sweet, acidic, and fresh flavors from the veggies. I found that the rice was a bit hard but not too badly. Lamb is typically red/pink on the inside but I think these meatballs were too pink for my liking. I'm sure they were still cooked to proper regulations but I would suggest asking for further cooking if you prefer less pink. I would say they were tender and flavorful though. This was a delivery order so the rice and meat were at room temperature when I received it but they came to life after microwaving for a minute or so.

I had a bowl catered from here and it was DELICIOUS. Love that this place is super vegan friendly. My bowl came with quinoa, falafel, chickpeas, cabbage, corn, baba ganoush, cilantro dip, and hummus. Everything tasted fantastic and the bowl was pretty full so I was able to save leftovers for later, and it was still delicious reheated. Highly recommend!

Mediocre assembly-line style entry to the fast food scene. Another build your own place in downtown. I ordered the felafel bowl. Decent: pickled onions, harissa sauce, cucumber tomato mix, hummus, pita. Not so great: old hardened rice, non crunchy and lukewarm felafel. Better in this category: Cava, felafel king.

Good vegan nutrition and stuff in bowls. It has preselected and build your own choices. Noon Mediterranean is the best place around to fill up. Lots of stuff in here to choose from. This is good for those who like picking their own stuff. I came in for a carryout. Lots here to choose from. There's a whole lot that are spicy. A few items have no meat. These still have lots of flavor packed. I like the Vegan Falafel Bowl. It's $12.15 for a lot. This comes with citrus turmeric brown rice, cucumbers, red onions, red peppers, and spring mix. Expect to be waiting in line after going in. It's always busy and it's a pretty small place. They were handling it pretty good at lunch the last time.

The line here at lunch was pretty long and my colleagues said the food was good, but I personally wasn't impressed. The hummus is not good at all, and all the rest is pretty standard. The harissa sauce is really spicy - make sure to take notice! So overall it wasn't bad, but there are better choices around. The place itself is clean, it's an open kitchen so they're not hiding anything. The service was ok, it's a "Chipotle style" place where you build your own order, or you can pick from some pre-defined dishes. Looks like the grilled chicken salad is a very popular dish, from what I've seen.

Our office got catering from this place and everyone loved it! People made their own bowls and decided what toppings to add. There are a wide variety of veggie toppings, salads, and sauces to choose from. They were all fresh and flavorful and everyone requested to order from this place again!

Not worth ordering late at night, they won't give you what you ordered but whatever they had left. Disappointing as I work the overnight shift and am just looking for decent food. Ordered the make your own bowl, received a completely different meat than I ordered (and I ordered two meats). Toppings were half what i ordered and half random. Ordered the dip trio, did not receive it. If you don't have what i ordered, please just cancel. Was not worth the $30 I paid to receive a couple of toppings I ordered and the rest a random hodgepodge. Maybe don't stay open that late if you can't fulfill orders correctly.

You get some really tasty healthy food here, you have probably walked by it a bunch of times so pay attention. Super convenient in downtown xing & so many things to choose from. I made my own bowl, it was such a big portion & the price is right. So go check it out & eat something delicious & healthy.

This was the worst uber food experience I ever had.... this food was absolutely disgusting. Aside from the fact that I ordered two entrees and only one of them was delivered, the one that was delivered was inedible. The food and veggies were soggy, HUGELY oversalted. And the instructions I asked for sauce on the side were not honored so it was just thrown on top of this inedible crap I wouldn't feed to a dog (debatable if a rat would deign to eat it). It was just a gross soggy salty combination of crap. When ordering, I saw that they had 3.8 stars. So I was a little hesitant but I thought how bad could it be. And now I know. Half a star. If I can't get a credit through Uber. I will be disputing the charge with my credit card company.

A really good location in downtown Boston, quick, clean setting, and good bowls! The staff were nice but not the most willing to give me extra of stuff (I offered to pay). I love the crisps on top!

I want to love this place. I want to give them five stars. I have gone four times in four weeks trying to get a better experience and it's not changing, unfortunately. If I were the owner here, I would send in an undercover customer to order and see what improvements can be made. Noon has so much potential. The food is really good - when it's hot and fresh. For some reason, every time I go in, despite being either the only customer or one of less than five, with workers standing around, chatting away, the hot food containers are nearly empty. I get half a scoop of old, overcooked chicken or crusted up quinoa. They have to stop, go get the fresh container, and finish my order. Why not change out during these obvious lulls? The server slops and throws the food into the bowl like she is angry with it. I have not been in while Mark, the manager mentioned in a previous review, was in. Perhaps he gets things in order. Please step up, Noon! I love Mediterranean food and want to eat here every day!

A very good alternative. Great service and food is good just a bit on the salty side.

-Totally disorganized. Wait times for pick up were wrong as we had to wait over 30 minutes after time indicated for pick up. - Place 8 bowls and 3 pita wraps. 7 out of the 11 orders were wrong and thrown together carelessly. Half of my team couldn't eat their lunch and due to the long wait, lunch almost over by the time we got back. The falafel were small and dry, the halal chicken was not good and the amount of sauces were excessive. - The place was stressful and chaotic. No organization in the kitchen and take out orders do not have dedicated preppers who can read the instructions or do custom orders well. After the ridiculously long wait, we ended up getting a bunch of stuff shoved into bowls that nobody asked for and they called it a day. That's a great way to lose customers fast. **Do not recommend coming here if you have a large team with custom orders. I rather go across the street to Falafel King. They are much better in food quality, care and service.

Decent lunch spot in FiDi/Downtown Crossing. Service was quick and the food was good (not great). Chicken was cooked well and everything was fresh, but some of the flavor profiles in the toppings choices didn't marry well in the dish. Might come back but would not go out of my way for it. Chicken rice bowl: 3/5

Not good. Soggy pita and burnt/overcooked falafel. Hard pass on this place. The falafel is burtn though and pita wrap was a sloppy mess.

Still only have great things to say about this place. The ingredients taste fresh and the prices are great! I love the selection that they offer. They may seem a bit scattered but it's like fast food isn't it. You can't call them gourmet but they serve a niche crowd at an expected speedy level.

Noon is an Excellent Mediterranean bowl place. Their falafel and chicken bowl are exceptional. I like their hummus and baba ganoush. It is so tasty. Worth trying it out.

Love this place for takeout. It's probably my most ordered food on ubereats. I've had the turmeric rice bowl and salad and the portions and flavor are out of this world. The sauces are amazing and although the chicken is great, I highly recommend paying the extra fee for the pulled pork as it is incredible.

WOW!! The food is amazing!! I now love Mediterranean food! I just sent this spot over to a group of my friends.

I remember eating here when it was Verts. So due to double session workouts on this Sunday, I ended up here at Noon for a kale bowl. My bowl had a bed of kale, grilled steak, which they cooked, fresh so I had to wait a minute for that and the spicy lamb meatball as my proteins. Then all the fresh toppings I added were feta, pickled onions, charred baba ganoush, egg plant relish and garlic sauce. My bowl was delicious! I couldn't finish and had to doggie bag. I can't wait to have this bowl again and maybe try different combos.

Noon Mediterranean is absolutely delicious food reasonably prices. It has great Middle-East flavors. I at there twice inside of a week. I'd go again. Everything from the bread, to the meat, to the hummus is very fresh. I recommend this.

I asked a friend for some recommendations for healthy lunch places and this was one of them. Out of the four places recommended, I tried Noon first. I have yet to try the other recommendations. They do have signature bowls but they also let you build your own. I tend to get a kale or spinach falafel bowl. The greens always tastes crisp and fresh! Not to mention, there's a nice selection of toppings you can add on. I'd recommend trying the chickpeas and carrots at least once as they are seasoned to perfection! I also like how there is an assortment of sauces you can add on at the end! The hummus is lip-smacking good and the hot harissa packs a ton of flavor. Be warned, the hot harissa is indeed hot but it also makes a nice addition with the hummus. The pita bread offered here is also excellent! I was never a fan of plain pita but after trying the made-to-order pita bread at Noon, it changed my view. Not only is the pita at Noon the best pita I have ever had in my life, the aroma that trails it is heavenly! I once paid for a pita with my bowl, walked out without it, and made a U-turn once I realized my error. When I got back to Noon, the staff gave me a freshly made pita! The service here is great and the staff is awesome! In terms of portions, my server always has to press the plastic lid to compress all the goodness into the bowl. The price for the experience and food is well worth the value! Whenever I leave Noon, I leave with a smile because I know lunch is going to be amazing!

I was excited to see that this place was open! The fast casual format will feel familiar - choose your base, choose your protein, choose your toppings and sauces. In an effort to try everything, I probably overloaded my bowl a bit. The person ahead of me went half and half on protein so I mimicked him- chicken was great, beef meatballs missable. The warm Brussels sprouts topping was the star of the snow, though the carrot slaw and cabbage slaw were both bright and crunchy. Unfortunately, I chose the radish salad last and boy, was it spicy! Not the natural kick of radishes, but some addition that made it unpalatable for my slightly wimpy tastebuds (generally a mild to medium gal). Tzatziki and hummus were both great sauces to top it off. Drinks left something to be desired for me - soda fountain plus lemonade, bottled water, and a few Spindrift sodas. I dream of seltzer. Otherwise, a good spot. I'll be back.

WOW The food was good. The service is good although there was a bit of a language barrier. The place is very authentic!

This location is very mediocre. I've been to other ones around Boston and they have better service/food. I got here at 4 pm and they were out of falafels and rice for the day... The server was dismissive of my order - it seemed like he was trying to get rid of my as quickly as possible. I ordered the chicken salad bowl with all the sides and sauces. They were also out of a log of their sides. Their baba ganoush was bitter and I did not enjoy it at all. However I really like the pink beet sauce that they had.

This place was formerly VERTS Mediterranean Grill.The chain has revamped it's menu and renamed itself the "Noon Mediterranean". It still maintained the vibrant ambience of VERTS which is good. The place now offers rice, barley, quinoa, kale and garden mix bases which I felt are an interesting , healthy range of options to choose from. The toppings and the sauces offered were similar to what VERTS had. Inspite of all the good and interesting take on the place so far, my 3 star review is there result of undercooked chicken I encountered in my lunch. This is a big no-no from an otherwise decent lunch spot. The chicken appears well done and in fact nicely charred from outside but you have to taste it to realize that it is undercooked. I did notice the meats being freshly prepared on the grill and I wonder if the chicken is the result of the lunch hour madness.I sincerely hope it is a one-time thing. Would definitely visit again to take a shot.

Great spot for a quick and delicious lunch. I've been there about 7 times and every time I order the same thing. :) My favorite is Greek chicken salad. Their chicken is so yummy and grilled to perfection! Sometimes, I take it falafel which never disappoints.

Noon has become my new favorite lunch spot for me recently! When my coworker raved about the falafels she tried from Noon, I knew I had to try it out. I usually order online as my job duties vary daily. When I first ordered from Noon, I created a custom bowl with falafel and chicken, and ended up loving the overall flavor. I recently had my sister come over to try the food from Noon, and she loved the falafel bowl she ordered- I ordered their grilled chicken pita at the time and it was delicious. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a great Mediterranean lunch spot!

I'm a huge fan of Noon and I already introduced many of my friends to go there. I already get chicken salad, love the way they cook chicken! But today, I feel quite disappointed that my chicken isn't cooked throughly, you and still find the redness in the middle. I don't think it's safe to keep eating the rest of salad and I ended up throwing it away. This need to be improved!!!

Grabbed a quick lunch here after a particularly grueling Barry's Bootcamp class nearby during a trip to Boston. I had always seen this fast casual restaurant around but had never tried it. I ordered a bowl with brown rice and kale, chicken, hummus, olives, veggies, and hot harissa sauce. It was absolutely delicious, and everything was super flavorful. Not only that, but the whole thing was only $10, a far cry from similar fast casual places that total up to $15 a dish. Service was quick and our server was great at explaining how the place worked and suggestions for toppings. The restaurant was clean, and because it was a weekend, fairly empty.

Went here twice. The first time I ordered an item off the chef's creation menu. It was average but didn't meet my expectations. The second time I came, I built my own rice bowl with chicken and a bunch of toppings. I looked at the items before on the website so I can know what to order. It tasted great! The flavors complemented each other well even though I had like 6 toppings.

I never write Yelp reviews but Noon is genuinely my favorite quick lunch spot in Boston and I was sad to see the other reviews. You have to get their eggplant baba ganoush dip on your bowl, its amazing. I get it at least once a week and it always hits the spot.

I got a kale vegan salad. They were out of kale, out of falafel and out of pita chips. The server said I could substitute with other items, so I picked steak and spring mix- and I was charged for substitution, because it makes so much sense for me to pay for their lack of preparation. Steak was really really dry. The whole bowl taste like a bunch of after thoughts- oh right they are. I downloaded the app and didn't get a free bowl because it takes up to 48 hours to get an activation email. Over all this place is a shitty Cava.

Incredible customer service. We were having a ton of trouble with a group order on a food delivery so I called the restaurant. I was put in touch with Mark the manager, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly- even went so far as to label each order for individuals. The food was fantastic, fresh and tasty. Everyone was happy.

I work 2 doors down and today was my 3rd, and last, attempt to eat here. While the different ingredients they offer to make a bowl from are flavorful and plentiful, the chicken they serve made me lose my appetite. It was 50% chicken meat (I hope!) and 50% over-spiced fatty skin, gristle, connective tissue and veins. They chop it up small in hopes you don't notice. Gross! Never again.

Formerly known as VERTS Mediterranean Grill. I visited VERTS many times before the change, and since that change, the food quality has plummeted. Toppings are too simple, lackluster, and nothing seems to have much effort put into it. Sometimes they won't have ingredients available that are on the board (if you're out of something, at least put a note somewhere). If you go later in the day, you can taste how all of the ingredients have just been sitting there since lunch. It tastes stale and old... I assume they don't bother making fresh toppings to save money. It shows in the flavor. For the quality of food you get, this is way overpriced. The toppings are too generic, and the portions are too small, to warrant a $10+ meal. With so many better options in the immediate area, I'll never have a reason to come back here.

So disappointing. Anytime you Caviar order from a place is better than the fresh stuff ordered there, it should make you think twice about an establishment. Upon our last visit to Noon (formerly Verts), I left never needing to go back. When I was on the fenc, I was pushed toward a create your own. I didn't want that so I tried to order something else, but I was pretty much forced into another item because the guy working made me feel uncomfortable about ordering a gyro (the would have to go make something to make it happen - God forbid). So I had no choice really but to create my own bowl. The portions for the items were all over the place, making my meal less than desirable. The service was quite awful. It was clear that they would rather be somewhere else... on a weekday at like 6:30p. I will likely never be back.

This place is so delicious and even better, very healthy! I had the quinoa bowl with the chick pea, egg plant, Cucumber, corn toppings along with garlic sauce, hummus and cilantro sauce. All the flavors were very well balanced. The portion size was good! Would come back any day. My new Boston favorite!

I've walked past this place countless time and have been meaning to try it. Finally got around to it, and so glad I did. Wow. Some of the best Mediterranean food I've had in the States. The quality is fantastic, as is the variety. It seems like similar places either specialize and do one thing well or do a lot of things sub-par. Noon does a lot of things really well. Particularly impressed by Mark's (the owner) handmade falafel. In addition to how good it all was, Mark and his wife, Angela were both in and went out of their way to make me feel right at home. Great having this independently owned location right in downtown Boston. I will definitely be back.

Agree with the above review : for an allegedly "healthy" restaurant I had the chicken also (prior to reading Yelp, unfortunately), and the fatty context made it tasty like "roasted chicken fat". If you were to do a blindfold test and tasted various items here, you'd probably say "Mmm, yum" throughout, but then if they gave you the "chicken" while blindfolded, you'd probably spit it out and say "Yuck"...(It's REALLY fatty). Otherwise I think the place is good but you're limited in what you can choose for a protein, and even further limited if you want chicken (unless you like to eat chicken fat, that is!). Three stars, max,unfortunately... (until they do better with their chicken)..

Great food - but don't order pickup. Ever. I ordered a pickup, waited an extra 10 mins before going, and it wasn't ready. I counted 30 people in line, and person number 30 got their food long before I got my pickup order. So if you want to eat here, just go. Don't order ahead as it's a waste of time since they don't prioritize pickup orders at all. I wasted my whole lunch break waiting for a bowl I ordered 25 minutes before even going. There are similar options in the area that are better with their projected times.

I've gotten the vegan falafel bowl twice and the first time it looked like someone was throwing the food from across the room into the bowl as well as scraping the bottom of the barrel for the last crumbs of falafel but I can say that the more recent experience was a lot better as everything had a place and I had 3 or 4 large falafel. It was filling and the spicy harissa sauce I added on top was nearly too hot....nearly.

If you're looking for quick Greek/Mediterranean food this spot is definitely worth checking out. Inexpensive and everything is spiced super well. Def try the charred babaganoush and the spicy cilantro sauce!

This is some of the BEST Mediterranean food I've had in Boston. We got some custom bowls with the grilled chicken, spicy meatballs and grilled steak and falafel. Everything was amazing, so much flavor! 100% recommend! Also the portion sizes are HUGE!

Veron coming here since they opened. The food is ALWAYS fresh, tasty and the portions are generous. The staff is always pleasant and attentive! Def a good spot to catch a quick bite or sit down and enjoy.

Can't even get in. It's 9 pm and they're closed even though they say they're open until 10 pm. Maybe good food, maybe not, but apparently I won't get the chance to even try it.

Really good food. It's basically a Chipotle but for Mediterranean food. They have tons of options for toppings. Only downside is they were understaffed when we came in (8:00 pm on a Monday) so it was a bit of a wait. I'd come again tho

Food tasted good but it was a tad bit too salty for my liking I had the grilled chicken salad

Sub-par Mediterranean food. Would prefer cava over this. Their employees at the Summer St location and rude and not friendly. Also, found plastic in my bowl the first time so had them remake it. Also, their food does not seem fresh and seems left over. Overall not great experiences
