Ashur Restaurant

If you're a foodie seeking an unforgettable dining experience in Boston, Ashur, a Somali restaurant in the heart of Roxbury, is an absolute must-visit. The moment you step inside, the rich aroma of perfectly spiced dishes welcomes you, hinting at the culinary delight to come. I enjoyed a generous plate featuring a variety of meats—lamb, goat, and chicken—each cooked to perfection and infused with an array of spices that elevated the flavors to new heights. The rice was a perfect complement, absorbing the flavors beautifully and adding to the overall experience. The hospitality at Ashur is second to none. The staff are warm, attentive, and make you feel right at home, enhancing the dining experience. The artful paintings and decor add a unique charm, creating a vibrant and inviting atmosp

Went on Saturday evening, great sized portions, delicious flavors. Lamb shank was very tender. There was a little odor in the dining area though

Their food taste African and delicious. I visit the area during convention, searched African restaurant near me & Ashur came out. I went to Ashur each day 12mins drive based on the positive online reviews & it was good. I tried the goat meat, lamp & chicken all taste good👌.You may be a bit discouraged by the environment but the food tastes good.

I went here with friends. I wouldn’t really call this Middle Eastern cuisine. The spice level is less than mild. The food (goat cubes, lamb, chicken biryani, samboosas) also came out astonishingly fast, a sign that it was reheated. One of my friends said the chai was fantastic though. The restaurant was very community oriented- I’d come here again for the vibe, but not the food. The staff was very pleasant and polite. Something to take note of is that all of the patrons seemed to only have chai and not food. If you want something strong, spicy, and fresh at 7 pm, go to Nachlo- they also make homemade mango lassis. Their dishes are also $15 compared to the $20 here.

Halal restaurant. $26 for one big sharable plate for 2 people. There wasn't much lamb meat on our plate compared to other reviews. It was a late dinner w arrival at 9.30pm but spices were spot on and rice good too, with exotic sodas like french orangina, uk vimto and Shani soda in arabic.
