Aceituna Grill – Downtown

Aceituna Grill’s Federal Street location is a weekday lunch stop inside the atrium at 100 Federal Street. Shawarma is the main reason to go: marinated chicken or beef and lamb cooks on a vertical grill before being carved for a plate or pita roll-up. Falafel gives you a meat-free option, and rice, hummus, salads and sauces let you put together a fuller lunch.

The food draws on the traditions of the Levant, with spicy chicken available alongside the regular shawarma. Catering covers office lunches and larger groups, including individually boxed meals. Plan around the short service window at this branch: it opens Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is closed on weekends.
