At 5 Kendall Street, there is a lovely family restaurant where we can all comfortably and safely enjoy Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. The charming outdoor seating area offers wheelchair accessible sitting and great pet-friendly option with four tables under sweet yellow and green umbrellas and, also they have three colorful charming chairs with tables next to the window. Besides, off-street parking availability relieves any parking concerns. Everyone working at Dolma is genuinely friendly and helpful with all their smiles and sincerity. There is so much to say about the food, with numerous outstanding dishes. At the very least, I must say: Dolma's "Dolma" is amazing! (I mean Stuffed Papers in English) So as a Turkish, I can confirm that it is made just like our mothers and grandmothers used to make it. Creamy Mushroom Chicken, Mousakka (with Meat or Lentils), Manti, Turkish Panini, and Shakshuka are some of the highlights, but I've tried almost everything, and not a single dish falls me in anytime. As far as I know most beloved desserts are Baklava, Rice Pudding, Mosaic Cake, and Noah Pudding (Its Legendary if you can find it). Dolma is truly a wonderful place with its staff, food, and ambiance! We are very lucky to have this gateway to Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine in Boston, which makes us feel at home with everything it offers. 5 Kendall Street Dolma is the perfect spot for a dining experience. It's like you feel as if you are with your family at your home.

Very amazing Mediterranean restaurant located in a quiet neighborhood. We stopped by for the first time at this place, we were completely impressed with their decor and indoor dining. It's small but quiet impressive. Lot of options for the meal. We tried the wrap, and some authentic desserts. I love how fresh the food was, everything is prepared from scratch including the desserts. We tried the tiramisu and baklava, became a big fan of those and it was so delicious. We almost started eating it in the car before we left the place 😂😂, very crunchy balkava. Customer service was amazing and we received some samples of other desserts to try even. We were little disappointed with the wrap, not a lot of flavor though the sauce was good. One star less is for the cost, felt the food was little pricey like 21 bucks for that wrap alone. Apart from that, it's a wonderful place if you wanted to try some fantastic Mediterranean food. Will definitely visit again but not often because of the price. Big thumbs up 👍👍👍

Simply love this place. Dolma offers a home style Turkish food, which I didn't know I was a fan of before or had any exposure to. I've eaten or gotten a takeout from here almost a hundred times in the past two years. A big reason for this is Dolma 's manti (what we would call 'pelmeni' or dumplings in English). This is one of the favorite foods of our younger generation in the family and just one of the very few restaurant dishes they would eat. My personal favorites are beef moussaka, beef shawarma and of course the eponymous appetizer Dolma, huge green pepper stuffed with a mixture of rice and minced meat. For dessert head over to the sister coffeeshop next door (so you can also get coffee there). This part of Brookline is not as busy or commercialized as Coolidge Corner or other busy squares, so although there is steady foot traffic in Dolma (good) there is never much wait and usually getting a table (inside or on the patio) is not a problem (also good). On street parking is easy.

I’m OBSESSED just after visiting on their first day! This is Turkish/Mediterranean food made with love (& attention to detail). I loved trying different vegetable-based/vegan Mezze (appetizers) & the meatballs with tomato sauce. It’s also very rare that you can get Tutmaç Çorbası (Hot Yogurt Soup with handmade noodles & green lentils), Artichoke in Olive Oil, & (fresh) Eggplant Salad! But finally: the desserts were beyond words Speaking as a Turkish-American who has had overpriced stale baklava too many times, we got almost all of the desserts and... Rice Pudding (Fırın Sütlaç): *Mom Approved* Pistachio Baklava: Just like in Gaziantep!!! Mozaik: a dream Finally, the restaurant is really clean, friendly, & the online ordering system is just about ready! Thank you thank you thank you & Kolay Gelsin ❤️ (Also plz consider doing Mantı I will buy it always)

Tiny place tucked away in a quaint commercial zone with a handful of other stores and restaurants nearby some residential housing. Seating is limited, food was excellent and I had several new dishes I was unfamiliar with. The manager said I could not choose grape leaves for my side, but I took so long to order the said that it was okay which was rather nice of him. He should consider adding an upcharge for grape leaves as a side because I definitely would pay extra for them and I am sure others would as well. I really liked the Turkish butter noodles, the carrot yogurt slaw with walnuts (I don't remember what it was called), and of course the grape leaves I was so graciously allowed to try despite it being against the rules! Definitely worth a visit if you want to try out some rare and well made Mediterranean cuisine.

Dolma is one of the best Mediterranean Restaurants in MA. Me and my friends have been there in many occasions and we always had the best experience in there. Owners and all the other staff are so friendly, very fast, respectful and responsive. The place is spotless clean, nicely decorated and of course the most important thing all the food we ate there was absolutely delicious😋 I’m Turkish and I know how good Turkish foods are and I can compare. Whatever I ate there, I felt like I’m in Türkiye. Whenever I was there, from my first step to saying goodbye was full of pleasure. I’m so thankful to the owners and all the staff who work there.
