What's for dinner?

What better enhances our cultural lives than a great meal?

In this section, we will publish a few different restaurant recommendations in and around Boston each week.

Brookline Family Restaurant
Despite the nondescript name, this restaurant is bursting with an excellent and delicious menu. Specializing in Turkish food, Brookline Family Restaurant has something for everyone – vegetarian dishes, meat dishes, sandwiches, hot meals and large portions. I almost always have leftovers for lunch the next day. The food is excellent, while the service is a little slow, but always busy around dinnertime. Take out is also an option. Located at 305 Washington Street in Brookline Village, Brookline Family Restaurant is within walking distance of the Brookline Village T station on the D line.

Zen 320
Zen 320 boasts half price sushi everyday of the week. While I am no sushi aficionado, I found the sushi fresh and quite tasty. The service is kind and attentive. The menu also includes dishes like chicken teriyaki and beef dumplings. Zen 320 is located at 320 Washington Street in Brookline. If you are looking for a quiet place to try out sushi without a huge financial commitment, try it out!

Elephant Walk
This restaurant boasts the slightly exotic (at least to my tastes) blend of French Cambodian cuisine. The menu is varied and offers the opportunity to try a new variety of cuisine with some familiar ingredients. After my meal I was a certified member of the clean plate club. Even though I was stuffed, I simply had to have one more bite – it was delicious! The ambiance is warm, yet a little formal. The server was courteous and helpful in selecting a dish. I strongly recommend Elephant Walk. The meal was more expensive than I like spend for a casual dinner, but the quality of food was definitely worth it. On a weekday evening it was not crowded and we were seated right away, but I can see it being crowded on the weekend. Elephant Walk has a few locations in the Boston area – Boston, Cambridge and Waltham. For more information, check here:
