Oleana

Oleana on Hampshire Street in Cambridge gives vegetables plenty of room on the menu. Spinach falafel comes with tahini and beet tzatziki; sun-dried eggplant dolma is filled with mushroom rice. You can build dinner around several meze or let the kitchen choose a vegetable spread and dessert. There’s meat and seafood, too, including tamarind beef over smoky eggplant purée and shrimp shish with preserved lemon aioli. The Turkish and Middle Eastern flavors carry through to drinks, with rose lemonade and a za’atar gin cocktail among the options. Leave room for the baked Alaska with coconut ice cream and passion fruit caramel. Dinner is served seven nights a week, and the restaurant lists free evening parking in designated lots across the street.
