"Basma cafe is truly such a special place and the perfect hidden gem. I walked in here one day and met Sammy and his dad who run the place and cook all the dishes. Their food is spectacular and it’s the kind of place where they take the time to welcome you into the community and get to know you. I honestly can’t say enough great things about this place. The food is spectacular. The portions are huge, and I’ve never finished all of the food I’ve gotten, even after coming straight from playing hours of basketball. I genuinely think they have the best breakfast sandwich in Mass, and it’s my favorite breakfast in the city. Please do yourself a favor and stop in here, it will be the best choice you make!"

"I had one of the most delicious breakfast in the boston area! I had incredible Irish Benedicts! The owners are very warm and nice so nice to see the older dad cooking for us. Support them! Ill be back! Go Sammy!"

"Incredibly underrated Halal breakfast spot in Teele Square. The portions for breakfast sandwiches are massive compared to the price. My favorite is the frittata sandwich, which is basically a whole omelette inside of a large tortilla, priced at just over $7. Super well-seasoned with that diner-style flavor and caramelized vegetables. I also love getting a "grilled muffin", which is just as delicious as it sounds, for less than $4. Staff is incredibly friendly and while I usually get takeout, the vibes inside the cafe are immaculate. 5/5"

"On my way to work, I stopped in to this cafe for a breakfast sandwich to go - and I was expecting it to be decent, something to last me until dinner. In fact, this egg & cheese breakfast sandwich was amazingly delicious!! This friendly family business also included some lentil soup, which was also really delicious! I mean every bite. I was definitely not expecting this. And I will definitely return soon to try more of their menu. 💯"

"I had no idea Basma was THE spot for good, comforting, healthy food in Somerville. Seriously, best chicken noodle soup of my life. Don’t tell my grandma."
