ElenaElena: Even if you don't like pumpkin, you've got to start with it. The Kufta (meatballs) are spicy and delicious along with everything else. You can't go wrong with anything lamb

Connie L.Connie Lu: My favorite place for Afghan fare: get the Aushak, if you love pumpkin as much as I do, get the Kaddo; and you can't go wrong with the Kourma Challow.

Jeremy K.Jeremy Krantz: One of Cambridge's great restaurants. Try their Kaddo pumpkin appetizer, it's one of the best dishes I've ever had. And I don't even like pumpkin.

Chris E.Chris E: All the cocktails are excellent. We also sampled at least half the menu. Pork belly, pumpkin salad (surprisingly), pork shoulder, burrata crostino were standouts.

BeckyBecky: charred broccoli with pumpkin hummus and the pickled corn pancakes were delish. the wait to get seats at the bar (since those are also reserved) is not quite as delish.

GourmetLiveGourmetLive: As renowned for its Middle Eastern cuisine as it is for putting on some of the best shows in town, this is a sure bet for a prime pumpkin kibbeh or mjudra (lentil stew) during lunch.

OurStageOurStage: Only sit at a table if you're going to eat - and tip. Best bet is the pumpkin kibbeh or falafel sandwich.
