"Oleana" is, without a doubt, an extraordinary restaurant. The hype surrounding the place made me skeptical before our first reservation but that skepticism rapidly turned to raves. The atmosphere is charming and romantic; the combination of flavors and Middle Eastern/Mediterranean ingredients more than met our highest expectations. We cannot recommend "Oleana" more highly.

It is great to see that Oleana is ranked as the number one restaurant in Cambridge. As a local, I have been to many restaurants across Cambridge. I recently had the pleasure of dining at Oleana and I now rank this restaurant as one of my favorite in Boston. It is on the pricey side so it isn't somewhere I... More

I have been to Oleana about 5 times since it opened at the location of a former favorite restaurant of mine (does anyone remember Daddy-O's?).

I went to Oleana over Easter weekend with my sister and her family, to celebrate my niece's college acceptances. It was too cold to eat out on the patio--that pleasure will have to wait--but the atmosphere inside was so warm and welcoming that I didn't mind. Everything about our meal was perfection. The menu that night was "spring on a... More

Located right in the heart of Cambridge - parking can be an issue if you're not a resident, and it's a bit of a haul from the T so plan on walking or grabbing a cab. Wife and I sat outside, which is 50% of why this might be one of the best restaurants in the Boston area. The seating... More
