From the food, to service and atmosphere, everything was excellent at this fabulous establishment in the heart of Waltham MA. Serving up delicious lamb and potatoes, or a chicken gyro sandwich - you can’t go wrong on the Greek / Armenian menu. And thanks to the owner for the incredible hospitality for our party of 7 who sat at the bar, serving up amazing drinks and food and the attention to detail to our party. Professionally ran and a well deserved 5 star review.

Absolutely 5 stars for Aegean in Waltham! My husband, parents-in-law, and I had a wonderful dining experience thanks to their warm and friendly service that made us feel right at home. We started with their fresh bread and the heavenly feta cheese in olive oil dip—simple yet bursting with flavor. The traditional gyro sandwich with fries was perfectly seasoned and satisfying, while the pastichio and roasted lamb with rice pilaf were comforting and delicious, full of rich, authentic flavors. The spanakopita was flaky and flavorful, complemented beautifully by the roasted potatoes drizzled in lemon—so good we were all talking about it afterward. I also enjoyed a glass of Armenian red wine that paired beautifully with the meal—smooth, bold, and just the right touch of warmth to enhance the flavors of the food. And the desserts—wow. The baklava was perfectly crisp and sweet, and the Armenian honey cake was a delightful surprise and the perfect end to a fantastic meal because it's not too sweet. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Greek cuisine served with genuine hospitality!

The food is excellent you will be pleased with anything you order, it is a store front restaurant that is clean and comfortable they have drinks and desserts the bread was home made & incredibly good I had the great leaves. My guest had the beef kebabs. They agreed roasted potatoes were excellent I capped it off without Armenian coffee. It's a Greek and Armenian restaurant and I will say that the food is authentic. I think you'll enjoy it.

Went to the Aegean in early Feb 2025 and had an outstanding experience. The vibe is very different from the Framingham location but that is OK. Street parking on a Saturday was plentiful. We got there around 5:30 pm, and a few tables were taken. But an hour later, it was nearly full. The food was incredible. We had two different lamb dishes and baklava for dessert. The service was excellent as well. I highly recommend it and will be going back soon. Hope this helps.
