"Nos Casa Cafe is a rare Boston spot rooted in Cape Verde, highlighting food from the country comprised of a group of islands located off the coast of West Africa. There’s an abundant amount of seafood — mackerel, cod, salmon, red snapper, and more — plus traditional dishes like cachupa, a slow-cooked stew made with corn, beans, collard greens, and pork." - Erika Adams

"Owners Ana Maria and Joshua Fidalgo are making excellent Cape Verdean food at Nôs Casa Café. From fried red snapper to stewed chicken to grilled steak, there’s much to choose from and pair with fried plantains. Nôs Casa uses ripe plantains that are mellow, sweet, soft, and slightly caramelized to make this dish." - Karen Wilber

It was such a pleasure meeting Ana. She cooks everything fresh daily in the back of the shop. We got a lot of food for a very great price. Everything tasted delicious and reminded me of my grandmas cooking. The flan was the best we've ever had which says a lot considering we are used to flan( my fiance and her family is from cuba). You won't be disappointed.

I walked in 30mins after placing and online order from their website, they never received my order. I showed receipts and charges on my card, they had to make my order while I stood there. Then I left and they only placed one lobster tail on the plate, so I called they told me to come back, then said they had no more lobsters, but would refund my money for the order. I am highly disappointed my food wasn't even hot.

Cape Verdean take-out. It's basically comfort food (NOT spicy) w/ Cape Verdean specialties you won't find generally. It's definitely worth going out of your way for, if you crave this cuisine. Little or no English spoken. No seating!

Can't speak to the whole menu, but all I can say is the toresma (fried pork) took my walk to Roxbury Crossing to a whole other level. Crispy, fatty, warm...hell yeah.

Delicious food! Great for takeout but not really a great dine-in place. Everyone was very friendly as it was my first time trying cape verdean food and i had no idea what anything was. Its very similar to Portuguese food in my opinion. Delicious, home cooked, fresh.

If you want good tasting Cape Verdean food this is the place to go I highly recommend it

Sometimes basic food is what you need most. This tiny cafeteria style restaurant offers several fish dishes and varieties of rice or couscous with beans and rice. You can mix and match. My favorite is the bacalao. Say "yes" to a spoonful of vegetables even though it's just a medley of steamed carrots, beans, broccoli and greens. The mild, unadorned flavors of the veggies complement the hearty salty, oily feel of the rice and meat dishes. The staff are as warm and welcoming as the food.

The service is always friendly and the chicharrones are thick and crunchy. I get snacks from here. It does not disappoint.

A hidden gem of home cooked Cape Verdean comfort foods. I tried the cowbhoof and tripe soup roday but I will bring you updates as I believe this place needs to be explored oh I almost forgot I had a couple of crispy fried pork chunks with the skin and someeat really savory and a great value at 2 for a dollar.

5 stars and beyond! Such a friendly neighborhood takeout restaurant with delicious food. How can white rice be so delicious? This week enjoyed a perfect piece of salmon with couscous, super flavorful Lima beans, and some veggies. Yum. Couldn't be better !!!

Visited this sweet family-run spot today as part of a walking tour with Live Like A Local Boston tours. Great selection of dishes. I had a small takeout sampling including veggies, a starch and beans (I think cornmeal and pigeon peas) and a piece of stewed chicken on the bone. Delicious flavors! The owner/chef was very patient explaining all the dishes. They have an amazing-looking array of cakes and other sweets. Would like to come back soon and try more things. Very clean and well organized for COVID-safe takeout.

I've had a pretty good experience with this restaurant which is in walking distance. I always go for take out. I've been pleased with the portion sizes and service. The staff has been nice and answers my questions as I'm fairly new to Cape Verdean food. I am pescatarian so I only order the fish dishes from grilled salmon, steamed red snapper to fried porgy, and they've all been good. The steamed snapper was perfectly prepared. I like that there's a restaurant in the neighborhood to get a good and proper meal.

My friend's chicken fingers were good. Though she could have gotten those anywhere. My driver couldn't find parking so I had to walk to him to get the food when I wasn't supposed to leave the office. The initial time frame I for deliver was 12:15-12:45. The food didn't come until around 1:30. The carne alentajana was unlike any I've ever had over my entire life of eating Portuguese good - and not in a good way. I asked for no clams, clams are still in there. The potatoes are boiled, I'm pretty sure the pork is too. But that could just be all the fat on it that makes it seem boiled. No flavor, very brothy. Will NEVER order from here again. Buyer beware.

I've been coming for the past few years and always picked up small things such as tchixu (fried pork belly) pastel and rissois and other Cape Verdean delicacies. Recently I've started working in the area and craved for more than the usual so one day I enjoyed a full meal which included: fresh salmon, cuscus, and steamed veggies. All in all I am never disappointed coming in here and the name is suitable, "Nos Casa" (Our House) making everyone who comes in here feel welcomed like you're at a family or friends house. Oh and I can't forget the great coffee! Take my word for it and just visit, you will not be disappointed

The food is old and no seasoning on the food taste old. They don't know how to Swanson the food it had no taste and it was very expensive. The restaurant is poorly ventilated you get in smelling good you come out smelling like fish. BAD don't waist your money.

Their food is good. I love their fish. Sometimes they have an attitude but who doesn't at some point in serving customers that are different from them or who doesn't speak their language.

Nos Casa is an amazing place to get some delicious, fresh Cape Verdean food. The cachupa with eggs is a breakfast I think about often and can't have enough of the tuna pastels! Very good prices with enormous portions that will last you a few meals. Check out this neighborhood gem! The people are also super kind and accommodating.

I love love love this place. I used to work in the neighborhood and it was a total perk to have these amazing hot lunch options. Fish is fresh, rice is savory, chicken is perfectly done. All of it is totally reasonably priced. The owner and staff are gracious and welcoming. Stop in, eat a good meal, thank me later.

Awesome Cape Verdean food. Very comforting and very cheap for the amount of food that's given to you. They have a small area where you can sit and eat. Very nice establishment and the owner is awesome.

I can't believe more people do not know about Nos Casa, but once you eat there you will keep coming back. I've been going to Nos Casa for several years based on the quality of food and how affordable it is. The food is prepared fresh every day and the restaurant has a ton of dishes to choose from. I love the rice, Lima beans with beef stew, however all dishes have great flavor and taste.

Good food. Fast service, had a variety of things to choose from. I ended up getting the red snapper plate with rice, veggies and cachupa. Everything taste good. I'll be sure to order from here in the future.

Great little, local place with hard working and determined workers worthy of hungry customers. Food is tasty, good sized portion, and usually less than $10. It's like a little buffet: you walk in, pick your rice your meat and whatever else you want and mentally prepare yourself to be satisfied by a great meal.

overestimate everything here, drive half hour from Harvard university and they serve something already cook in container. my wife order a super dry king fish no juice inside. And recommend have a Spanish friend going with you

My first experience there was my last experience there. The dinner I ordered had gone bad and tasted really fun which made me sick after only a couple of bites. Will not recommend

Eliza P.

The staff here are super nice, hard working and eager to please. I have gotten a medium size platter ($7) and shared it with my husband for dinner; the prices are incredible. My favorites are seafood rice (a little more expensive), catchupa, the bacalao with chickpeas and hard boiled egg and roast chicken. Also the only place in the neighborhood to get a fresh fruit cup or salad for a healthy snack. I go here at least twice a month! Great find!

My third time eating there this week, great selection of traditional Cape Verde dishes. Great service with a smile!!!

Hard to believe this place hasn't been reviewed on here before. I love this tiny little Cape Verdean place. Consistently great food like salmon, tuna, chicken, always three kinds of stews, tons of super tasty fried stuff like empanadas. I don't speak Kriolu so I can't name it all off, but I've now tried just about everything on the menu and it is all amazing and worth the price.

I get the white rice with Lima beans and goat every time. The taste is a little different sometimes, but it's always good. The salmon and beef are yummy as well. Anna, the owner, is a real inspiration to her neighborhood and a gentle, wonderful soul. Come here for authentic and delicious Cape Verdean cuisine!
