The Wapo Taco(Roslindale, MA)
Got a craving for a cheap, sorta greasy, hard shell taco and you don't live anywhere near a Taco Bell or otherwise anything even related to a Mexican restaurant? No problem if you happen to be in Roslindale, check out the Wapo Taco. You get what you pay for, and that ain't a bad thing. Cheap Mexican style fare is just that, cheap food for the people. But that also means that you can stuff yourself on good old fashioned tacos. The steak tacos, burritos, and wraps are consisantly good. The food is very fresh and the salsas are full of flavor. The hot can be hot and they can accommodate special needs or mixes.
Little India(Waltham MA)
If you always order Curry or Tanduri when you dine out for Indian food, break out of the rut and try Biryani. Now I don't know how you pronounce it, but I'll tell you that you can't go wrong with saffron rice, raisins & cashews, coconut garnish and plentiful shrimp (or chicken, lamb or veggies). The curry dishes were outstanding and the appetizers were perfectly fried and tasty. The tikona-think samosa with ground lamb re-heated nicely the next day. Naan is always good and was totally fresh. Take a walk on the spicy side and try the gobi paratha. Between the prices and the amazing food I will be back.
The Linden Store(Wellesley MA)
I have eaten sandwiches all around , and still, nothing comes close to a Linden sub. They use fresh, soft bread, slice the meats to order and are still lightning fast, even when there is a line out the door. They are also family owned and operated, clean, consistent, friendly and supporters of the community. Highlights include: Hot Italian, Greg's Arugala Special, Linden Special, Turkey Bacon Swiss, Isabella and the BEST SUB THE THANKSGIVING
La Campania(Waltham MA)
For Starters ordered Warm Eggplant Terrine,Layered with Fresh Mozzarella "Affumicato", Torn Basil, Plum Tomato Ragout which was just awesome .I liked the way it was presented. Also ordered Spicy Rock Shrimp White Wine, Cherry Tomato, Chile Flakes.For my main course decided on having Hand-Cut Potato Gnocchi "Trifolati"Wild Mushrooms, White Truffle Oil which was just amazing.The meal was AMAZING. La Campania is a very authentic looking Italian restaurant. The ambiance was relaxing we had this small candle light on our table which was so beautiful .Interior lighting was flattering, the walls were brick, the rooms furnished with farm tables; vases of tulips were scattered throughout the dining rooms
Ye Olde Cottage Restaurant(Weston MA)
Still has wooden booths, counter stools, jukeboxes and advertisements on the wall from about half a century ago. As for food...today it has a friendly counter/waitstaff, ambiance from a less rushed time and pretty standard fare that'll stick by you all day. Pretty basic. I got scrambled eggs and french toast with sausage and didn't feel like eating for the rest of the day and lets be real that never happens!!
